Her main goal like her brother is to save the Koro Pokurru (Minutians in the English anime), a tiny spirit people. As part of this goal, her brother intends to plant a vast field of Butterbur. She was raised with the believe that the strongest prey on the weakest. When Horohoro grew up a little he was trained by his father but later left home to pursue his dream because his father will no longer take care of him. Pirika later followed Horohoro to Tokyo.

Shaman Fight First Round
After Horohoro is defeat by Asakura Yoh in the first round she showed up at Yoh's celebration party, surprised and netted her brother and dragged him away to train. She next watched her brother win the two matches he needed to get to next round of the fight.

She then showed up at the opening ceremony with Horohoro explaining things to her brother and watched Yoh and Tao Ren tie at the final match. She and Horohoro later went to Yoh's and celebrated that her brother's second round entrance.

When Ren was captured by his dad Horohoro went to China while Pirika stayed at In for the next month or so. She and Horohoro left Yoh's house and got a hotel room, where she would eventually give him a new medium for his Over Soul.

When her brother and the remnaining teams of the Shaman Fights was taken to the Contiment of Mu by the Patch Tribe Pirika stays behind on the beach together with her father, the Asakura Family and the Tao Family having a barbecue. When her father catches a large Tuna he is complimented by Pirika whom he tells that, today they will broil it. She was last seen sitting together with her father on the beach preparing the fish and hearing Anna reading the Furyoku levels of her brother and his friends.

During the last chapter, she is not seen but mentioned going out with a guy.

Family
Her older Brother is Horohoro (Trey in the anime). She herself has a great relationship with her father, but he thinks of Horohoro as a "dumb, unworthy son". Their father also shows his uncaring for his son by stating while Horohoro fights Hao's Minions that "I could always have another son" adding that he only came because "Pirika begged him to come after him.".

Anime/Manga Difference
In the English anime, she is described as from "the Northern Woods" instead of from Hokkaidō
