History

Past

Pirika is an Ainu from Hokkaidō, a prefecture in Japan. Her main goal in the Shaman Fight is to save the Koro Pokurru (Minutians in the English anime), a tiny spirit people like her brother. 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's defeat by yoh in the first round she showed up at yoh's celebration party and surprised her brother 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 next showed up at the opening ceremony with her brother explaining things to her brother and watched yoh and ren tie at the final match. She and her brother went to yoh's and celebrated the her brother's second round entrance. When Ren was captured by his dad horohoro went to china while pirika stayed at yoh's for the next month or so. She and horohoro left yoh's and got a hotel room and gave him a new spiritual medium.

Shaman Fight Second Round

When the next part of the tournament started she went to the stadium and cheer on her brother with her family.

the Plants

During the invasion of the plants she waited with remaining shamans and trainers while Horohoro was fighting inside.

Family

Her old Brother Horohoro (Trey in the anime). Her relationship with her father is fairly good, as Horohoro thinks of himself as a "dumb, unworthy son". Their father also shows his uncaring for his son by stating while Horohoro fights Hao's Minions that "[He] 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
