People related to Mikan Mikan's closest friends • • voiced by:
Kaori Matoi (1st season);
Yuko Iida (2nd season) Mikan's classmate. Her last name is , which leads to her common nickname "Shimi-chan". She is Mikan's high school friend who attended a different junior high school, but she is a close friend of Mikan. She is mature, has a good style, and respects Mikan no matter what. She enjoys reading palms, tarot card readings and spirituality. She often goes to different fortune tellers/card readers for fun but also to learn from them. Whenever she gives any advice or her thoughts on any matter to Mikan, she pretends to smoke a nonexistent cigarette, to which Mikan then gives her a nonexistent Ashtray. Shimi-chan prefers the innocent side of Mikan, deeming it as cute and childlike. As of now, Shimi-chan is the only character who knows Mikan has a crush on Iwaki-kun. Originally, Shimi-chan thought Mikan had a crush on Yoshioka, which led to a confrontation that resulted in Mikan telling Shimi-chan her feelings for Iwaki-kun. • • voiced by:
Yūsuke Numata Mikan's classmate from the same junior high school (Minami Junior High School). He has a slightly awkward and romantic personality. He and Mikan have been friends since junior high school, but have no romantic feelings for one another. Iwaki-kun and Yoshioka get along well together and talk about their similar interests. Sometimes Yoshioka likes to tease Mikan by making fun of her as a joke. In Shin Atashin'chi it was revealed that Yoshioka has a phobia of fish, more specifically a phobia of fishes' faces. Yoshioka finds it pleasing to correct Mikan's statements and finds the fact that Mikan doesn't know many trivial or philosophical facts unpleasing. So much so, that he just barges into Mikan's conversations just so that he can correct her and show his intelligence, which leads to Mikan being annoyed. • • voiced by:
Haruna Ikezawa Mikan's classmate whose real name is Yuka (from anime 1st season). She is usually quiet, but when she smiles and she hugs her belly without worrying about others.

He is on good terms with Yoshioka. Once on his way home, he picked up a ballpoint pen that Mikan dropped on the bus, which caused Mikan to develop feelings for him. Since then, Mikan has fallen in love with him so much that she can't even stand in front of him, but Iwaki himself doesn't realize her feelings for him. • • voiced by:
Rie Tanaka Mikan's classmate. She has a sweet-hearted personality and is clumsy and forgetful at times. She is tall and gentle on the outside, a young maiden like beautiful girl. Lots of boys in Mikan's high school have fallen for her and would go to extreme lengths just to make her notice them. She doesn't realise why the boys are so kind to her and doesn't take their actions for granted. Despite being the most beautiful girl in school, she isn't all that intelligent and shows that by asking weird and self-explanatory questions to Mikan and Shimi-chan.
