Hiromi "Miki" Kiyoko
She is a cab driver in Santa Monica. Totally uninhibited and possessed of a very strong sex drive, she developed a huge crush on Hip, which came to be mutual despite her mere associating with Hip causing much strife and conflict between Miki and her mother (that came to an end when Miki's mother recognized Hip as the one who spared her and her family during a war when she was younger). After discovering she was pregnant (after having been exposed to a deadly virus) she gave up the baby for research, Hip accompanying her for moral support, to her deep appreciation. Their relationship deepens into true and sincere love, this leading to Miki refusing to be dissuaded by any naysayers about her relationship with Hip, and she is able to lift Hip's spirits whenever he is depressed and convinces him whatever comes their way she will be with him.
