Mika Murakami (村上ミカ Murakami Mika) is a college friend and the former girlfriend of Takayuki Kuroki, and also an associate of Reina Akikawa as a result being a freelance photographer (though often contracted by car magazines to work on various articles). When Kuroki delved into street racing years prior to the current storyline, Mika's relationship with him became strained due to the time he spent on tuning his car, and they broke up and went their separate ways. They met again while Kuroki was planning on challenging the Devil Z. After Kuroki's failed race against the Devil Z where he blew his car's engine and later worked on fixing it with his own hands, Mika realized that his persistence in wanting to be the best was his greatest trait and came to appreciate that part of him. Mika was engaged to an editor of a magazine, but after the incidents with the Devil Z, she decided to break it off the engagement from the editor and get back together with Kuroki to rekindle the relationship.
