Rainbow Mika (レインボー ミカ Reinbō Mika?), more commonly known as R. Mika (アール・ミカ Āru Mika?) is a character from Capcom's Street Fighter fighting game series. She was introduced in the 1998 Street Fighter Alpha 3, and later returned in the 2016 Street Fighter V. A professional wrestler, her real name is Mika Nanakawa (七川 美華 Nanakawa Mika?). The character has received mixed critical reception regarding her character design, with additional criticism directed at her gameplay. A decision to censor Mika's butt slap animation in the North American release of Street Fighter V has also attracted controversy.

R. Mika was created to introduce a "tricky and technical character" into the series. Later, the team created Karin to provide a contrast to her. Debuting in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Mika is primarily a grappling character, whose main weapons are high-priority command throws. Unlike other grapplers in the Street Fighter series, who are slow and heavy, Mika is more fast and agile. According to Christopher Isaac at Screen Rant, she is the 12th most powerful Street Fighter character. Isaac explained by saying "The wrestler's unorthodox usage of her tag team partner Yamato, body slams, and booty slams to the face have been throwing players for a loop lately, and has led to the phrases "overpowered" and "broken" getting thrown around."
