Animal Detective Kiruminzoo (あにゃまる探偵 キルミンずぅ Anyamaru Tantei Kiruminzū?) is a Japanese magical comedy anime series created by Shōji Kawamori in collaboration with Hal Film Maker and JM Animation; it is Kawamori's first shōjo title. Animated by Satelight, the series premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo on October 5, 2009. A manga spinoff is serialized in Shueisha's shōjo magazine Ribon.
Riko and Rimu Mikogami are twin sisters who live in Kamihama, a Japanese city abundant with natural wonders. On an otherwise peaceful day, while searching for a run-away cat, the two come across a mysterious Kirumin compact in an attic. With the Kirumin, these character-costume-wearing girls can transform into real animals. Their older sister Nagisa Mikogami soon joins them. Now the three have cute, funny and sometimes dangerous adventures while solving a lot of mysteries they encounter.
Kawamori's theme for the anime is: "What if you can really transform into an animal?"
Riko Mikogami is one of the two twins of the Mikogami family. She has red/orange hair, pink eyes, and loves cats. Her main Kirumin transformation is a cat, and the color she is associated with is pink. Riko is in elementary school. She is very close with Rimu and Ken Inomata. Riko is learning how to communicate with animals like her mother. She is very lively, often expending a lot of energy only to become quite tired a short time afterward. She is often shown arguing with Ken because the two are so alike, but she really does care about him. A running joke in the series is how terrible Riko is at drawing. She is very adventurous and never gives up, refusing to leave anyone who needs her help. She can be a bit egotistical, proclaiming herself leader of the Detective Club and occasionally referring to herself as "The Great Detective Catherine." Riko is one-quarter Animalian. This is revealed at the end of the series when she and Rimu turn into bats without Kirumin. As a cat, Riko can jump very high and has catlike agility and speed.
