Mirai (未来) is a playable character from the Senran Kagura video game series. She makes her debut in Senran Kagura: Portrait of Girls.
Background[]
Since her youth, Mirai was bullied, resulting in her distrusting others and gaining an inferiority complex with her breasts. She searched the Hebijo BBS for some friends and was the last member to join the former Hebijo Elite Class. After the influences of the raid of Hanzō Academy that turned into a disaster, feeling that she was about to go berserk during the event, she thought that she might end up hurting her friends. To prevent this, she ran away from Hebijo; however, her friends, particularly Hikage and Homura, caught up and told her how much they loved her.

Prologue Round 1 Her first opponent was Asuka who Mirai comments about going up against first. Asuka for some reason asks Mirai what she was doing there and asks if she was lost. Mirai asks why she would be and she was a contestant like her. Asuka was relieved and says she was worried for a bit. Mirai tells her to not treat her like a kid, she was a full-grown lady with dignity. Asuka affirms she was, which made Mirai angrily ask if she didn’t believe her. Asuka asks her what was wrong and if she was going through a rebellious phase. Mirai had enough of this and tells her to face her in battle. And the first round of the cook-off began with Mirai winning. After the round Asuka tells Mirai she was very strong and commends her. Mirai once again asks if she was still treating her like a kid. Asuka presumably out of sarcasm asks Mirai to play nice with Yagyū as well and she should come over to their house as well. Mirai points out to her that she was acting like a friend’s mother or something. Mirai decides that she needed more than winning if she wanted to change her image. She tells herself to not panic and stay calm, be all grown up and win this round by round. Round 4 She is suddenly approached by her leader Homura, who'd been looking for her. Mirai was surprised to see her, as she didn't expect her to be in this competition at all. Homura questions Mirai what was wrong, because she saw her walk out of the hideout. Mirai tries to answer while Homura tells her if something was on her mind, she could tell her. Mirai asks her if she thought she was too childish. Homura finally realized what was on her mind, and then aggressively asks her what was wrong with her, to which Mirai was surprised. Homura asks her if they were friends, if they were family. Homura continues about how they weren’t treating her like a kid and to not take it like that. Mirai admits she was right and apologizes to her. Homura tells her as long as she understood and makes the mistake of saying she could be such a baby sometimes. After hearing Homura's comment, Mirai asked her what she just said. After realizing what she just said, Homura immediately says that she didn’t mean it like that. Mirai shouted at her that she was so stupid to listen to her. At this point the next round of the cook-off began with Mirai emerging the victor. Mirai asks Homura if she understood her after the fight, she looked like a dream and cooked like fiend, she was not a kid at all. Homura understood and took back everything she said. She then tells Mirai if she wanted a classy lady look it was time to lose the bear panties. Mirai was surprised at first before agreeing with her. She then asks if she should wear panties like Haruka wears. Homura says that was about right, if she wanted to be a big, grown-up lady, that was the way to go. Mirai points out that they showed off her butt and asks if they were embarrassing. Mirai dismisses the idea and decides to be the first super lady to wear bear panties. Round 5 Her final opponent was none other than Haruka who tells Mirai she heard the news about her surging through womanhood. Mirai confirms as she was tired of being treated like a kid. Haruka advises her not to put it like that as it sounded too much like a tantrum. Mirai points out she was pretty sure Haruka threw a tantrum or two. Haruka admits she had her moments but nothing so infantile. Mirai tells her she was going to make her angry. “You dress like... like a wench! And you’re mean! Like, sadistic mean!” Mirai says to her. But it didn’t work as Haruka just giggled off her words and admits how she can’t deny that. Mirai then says to her “Oooh! You and your big knockers! And butt! And your laced undies!” Haruka asks if she was trying to provoke her and points out her words sounded more like flattery. Mirai at this point decided to go to the forbidden zone. “You’re so... old!” Mirai says. Mirai’s wish was granted as Haruka gave her a death glare. Mirai, starting to regret what she said, asked if she crossed a line. All that came out of Haruka was, “...I WILL CRUSH YOUR BONES TO DUST!” Mirai began to scream. And so, the final round of the cook-off begun with Mirai winning. Epilogue After their round Mirai immediately apologizes to Haruka telling her she wasn’t an old lady. Haruka tells her she should be the one apologizing. She wasn’t a child. She was a well-dignified, very special lady who can also cook. Anyone should know that. Mirai was taken aback by these words. Haruka then says she should be the one leading the Crimson Squad in Homura’s place. Mirai was hesitant for a moment before deciding to give it her all. Later back at the hideout Mirai had proven she had the skills of a grown woman, especially cooking skills. Nobody would treat her like a kid, she was okay but. The others were complaining about the lack of food. Mirai compared this to serving lions at the zoo. Mirai shouted at them, that the food would be ready in a few minutes. When she won, she was tasked with doing the laundry, cleaning, taking out the trash etc. She became the “household supervisor.” She knew something was wrong, when she said she wanted to be a grown woman, this wasn’t what she had in mind. “You’re a dependable adult now. We can count on you” Haruka says to her. Mirai wondered if adults were always this busy, she didn’t even have time to think. She still had a mountain of work ahead of her. After finishing their meals, she had to watch them brush their teeth, set up their futons and make sure they all went to bed on time. Mirai thought about it and came to the realization. She wasn’t being treated like an adult at all. She was being treated like a mother. |

Trivia[]
- Mirai's name translates to "Future".
- Like Ryōbi, Ryōna, and Ryōki, Mirai wields a weapon in use during World War II.
- Among all of her comrades, Mirai is the one of the few characters with small breasts due to her child-like characteristic. This being so, she has one of the smallest breasts in the Senran Kagura canon, alongside Muramasa (a fellow A cup) and Ryōbi (a AAA cup).
- As a play on Mirai's name, which translates to "Future", Mirai has a pen name where she writes an online book under the name Futsure, where she took "future" and made it sound like a Japanese word.
- One of her online books, Rapunzel the Shinobi in its Synopsis, starts out with a harem of princes but revealing a dark tale, might be a nod towards the Senran Kagura series for which the fanservice nature hides a sometimes dark plot.
- In SHINOVI VERSUS, the animation for her Ninja Arts change when she is not in her default shinobi attire. This is also true when she is in Frantic or the lower half of her outfit is stripped completely.
- All of Mirai's Ninja Arts are related to World War II Germany from their names.
