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.
