Mikoto Mikoshiba

Mikoto Mikoshiba is a member of the drama club and one of Nozaki's friends in Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun. Although popular with girls because of rehearsed romantic lines, he becomes embarrassed immediately after saying them.

Flashy in public but shy and self-conscious, Mikoto is sensitive to how others perceive him. His contrast between confident dialogue and private panic makes him the model for Nozaki's delicate shoujo heroine Mamiko.

Mikoto has no supernatural abilities; his strengths include acting, social charm, and helping with manga backgrounds and screen tones. His friendships with Nozaki, Sakura, and the drama club repeatedly expose the gap between image and personality.
