Mogana Kikaijima (喜界島 もがな, Kikaijima Mogana) is a freshman and later junior of Class 11. She is a member of the Swimming Club, and is later hired as the treasurer for Medaka Kurokami's Student Council.

Personality[]

Like her fellow members of the Swimming Club, Umumichi Yakushima and Sotsu Tanegashima, Kikaijima is obsessed with money, and is willing to go so far as to risk her own life to get a hold of it. This attitude stems from her childhood: when Kikaijima was a child, her father left because the family was in debt, her mother became sick from working herself in to the ground, and all the people that Kikaijima had thought were her friends left her because her family had no money. Though she considers money more important than her friends, she likes her friends more than money. After Medaka's intervention, Kikaijima is more aware of her own worth, though she is still obsessed with money (she is paid 300 yen a day as the Student Council's Treasurer). After being encouraged by Yakushima and Tanegashima to make friends outside of the Swimming Club, Kikaijima has developed strong relationships with the other Student Council members, particularly Medaka and Zenkichi Hitoyoshi.

Appearance[]

Kikaijima has long brown hair done up in a ponytail with a blue ribbon, and wears glasses over her purple eyes. She initially wore the standard women's uniform of Hakoniwa Academy, though after joining the Student Council, she changes to the Student Council uniform, black as opposed to the usual white. The green armband signifying her as the Treasurer is worn around her left arm. During the battle to decide the academy's new Student Council, Kikaijima wears the Student Council's Battle Attire Red Model. Kikaijima gives up her armband after leaving the Student Council. Kikaijima often wears her swimsuit beneath her uniform. Ten years later, Kikaijima cuts her hair short, and wears a dark-colored coat over a light-colored dress.

History[]

Because they didn't have any money, Kikaijima's father ran out on her and her mother. Her mother worked herself into the ground and eventually became sick.[1] Despite having no money and being in trouble, no one tried to help Kikaijima; in fact, all the people she thought were her friends left her.[2]

Student Council Executive Arc[]

Swimming Club

Introducing the Swimming Club.

Kikaijima is present at Medaka's inauguration ceremony.[3] Kikaijima and the other members of the Swimming Club are first introduced discussing the upcoming club battle swim meet. Kikaijima insists that they will get money if they win, so there is nothing to complain about. As a group, they decide that when they win, they will be one step closer to reaching their dream of filling a pool with money.[4] Come Sunday, all three are seen looking pleased when Medaka announces that any club that ranks higher than the Student Council will receive money from her own pocket. Kikaijima asks the others what they should do after Medaka announces that the first event will be water basketball.[5]

The Swimming Club after the first event

The Swimming Club after the first event.

After the first event ends, the Swimming Club is seen on the sidelines. Medaka points out that they were actually the first group to score all twenty points. Other onlookers discuss the Swimming Club, one claiming he saw the guys swim to the pool's bottom, even with floaters on their arms. Medaka confronts the club, identifying the technique they used as compulsed expiry diving: if they had made a single mistake, they could have drowned. She asks them if they value their lives, a question Tanegashima answers on the rest of the club's behalf: they value money more than their lives.[6]

When Nekomi Nabeshima tells Medaka that she doesn't understand Yakushima, Kikaijima approaches them from behind and tells the pair that she never expected them to understand what the Swimming Club are thinking. She does tell Medeka and Nabeshima what the Swimming Club wants is a pool full of money: their dream is to spend a full day swimming in it.[7] In the third event, eel catching, Kikaijima manages to capture thirteen eels, maintaining the Swimming Club's position in first place.[8] After the third event, the Swimming Club confronts the Student Council.[9] After Medaka claims that she will reform the Swimming Club, Tanegashima haughtily dares her to go ahead and try.[10]

Kikaijima enraged by Medaka

Kikaijima enraged by Medaka.

As the fourth event starts, the cavalry battle, Kikaijima is seen as the Swimming Club's lancer.[11] After hearing Yakushima's explanation of the final event, Kikaijima declares that they have no reason to face the Student Council head on, and suggests instead that they take the headband of seventh place, thus gaining an extra point on their lead. After Medaka challenges the Swimming Club, promising that she will teach them that there is something more important than money; Kikaijima loses her temper, and tells the other two she will take that "stupid girl" down. When Asa signals for the event to begin, Kikaijima and Medaka immediately lock hands. After Medaka claims that she likes the Swimming Club, Kikaijima angrily reminds her that she called them money zombies. Medaka retorts that they are being lured by the strong pull of money, at which point Kikaijima tells her to shut up. She tells Medaka about the horrid pasts of her and her teammates, and goes on to say that she would gladly give up her life for money: anyone would be sad if they were to lose their wallet or purse, but no one would care if they died.

I like you more than money

"I like you more than money."

With a sudden burst of strength, Kikaijima manages to push Medaka off balance. She is shocked to see however, that Medaka is standing on Zenkichi's discarded float. Medaka and chastises Kikaijima, telling her that even if their luck hits the depths of hell, that is still no reason to throw their lives away. Medaka goes on to say they have just earned something very expensive: her wrath. Medaka leaps at her, knocking her off balance, and after telling Kikaijima that she would be sad if they died, kisses her on the lips to prove it. They both fall into the water. Medaka carries Kikaijima out of the pool and hands her over to Yakushima. Kikaijma as her teammates which is more important, her or money. After they both answer money, she then asks which they like more, her or money. They both tell her they like her more, at which she tearfully tells them that she likes them more than money to. She is shocked with everyone else when Nabeshima and the Judo Club are revealed to have won the competition, and thinks that Nabeshima was surprisingly cool about being cheap.[12] Kikaijima is later seen at the Student Council room as the new treasurer, being rented out from the Swimming Club for $3.00 a day. She tells Zenkichi and Kouki Akune that if they waste money, they will feel her wrath.[13]

Kikaijima demands payment

Kikaijima demands payment.

Kikaijima changes in the Student Council room, only for Zenkichi to walk in and see her in her underwear.[14] After beating up Zenkichi, she demands he pay her for the show, as he saw her near naked. After he tells her he saw something he didn't want to see, she starts crying, and angrily cries that he pay her while calling him a meanie, now telling him to pay for the mean things he said as well. Zenkichi relents, and he pays her $4.50 for the peep show, and $3.00 for being mean. Paid, Kikaijima's mood instantly improves. She asks Zenkichi where the computer is, to which he replies that they don't have one and hands her an abacus, much to Kikaijima's surprise. After Zenkichi explains Medaka's mental talents, Kikaijima questions whether Medaka has intel inside. She then claims that it is a waste to buy something that isn't needed, and that an abacus is also pretty useful. Kikaijima begins working while Zenkichi starts reading manga. She thinks to herself that it has gotten really quiet, and that it was a bad idea to show how serious she was by working. She thinks on how Zenkichi is reading manga, and it doesn't look like he is interested in her at all. She worries that she will lose face to Yakushima and Tanegashima, and resolves to make friends. Flustered, she then comments to Zenkichi that they have nice weather today. After he points out that it is raining, the atmosphere becomes even more tense, with Kikaijima thinking that she read in a book somewhere that you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone when you talk about the weather. She wonders if Zenkichi hates her or something. When Zenkichi tells her that she has a great body, a horrified Kikaijima throws her abacus at his head, and charges him $0.50 for sexual harassment; bringing the total amount of money she has taken from him $8.00. Kikaijima thinks to herself that Zenkichi must hate her now, and that she wants to apologize for getting violent and give him his money back. She silently begs for somebody to help out, not caring who. Hansode Shiranui barges into the Student Council room, telling Zenkichi she felt as if he was calling for her, and asking if he has something good for her to eat. A horrified Zenkichi and Kikaijima both think that the number one person who can't take a hint just came.

Kikaijima tells Zenkichi she is going to kiss him

Kikaijima tells Zenkichi she is going to kiss him.

As Shiranui introduces herself, Kikaijima thinks to herself that the other girl is a mystery: during the swim meet, it was like she was pulling the strings behind the scenes, and wonders how she can enter the Student Council room when she is not a member. Shiranui then offers Kikaijima a photo of her kiss with Medaka, breaking the forth wall to mention that it took up a whole panel the week prior, much to Kikaijima's dismay. As Kikaijima ties to take it, Shiranui offers it her, explaining that she actually took it for the school newspaper, but if Kikaijima asks, Shiranui will give it to her. She then maliciously reveals that she took three hundred photos, all from different angles, and asks Kikaijima which one she would like. Zenkichi asks her to stop however, and Shiranui agrees, leaving with an empty apology to Kikaijima and a farewell to Zenkichi. Gathering up the photos, Kikaijima thanks Zenkichi for helping her out. She asks him what Shiranui is really like, and is shocked when he tells her he doesn't really know. Kikaijima asks him if it is alright to be that easy going about, Zenkichi replies in the affirmative, telling her that Shiranui is his friend, and that he doesn't need to know any more than that. Kikaijima then asks about Medaka, wanting to know if she does that (kissing) with everyone. After Zenkichi describes Medaka, Kikaijima asks how she Medaka can claim she was born for others, as that line of thinking is incomprehensible to Kikaijima herself. She goes on to say that when she ran out of money, all the people who she thought were her friends left her; she doesn't hate or blame anyone because she thought that was how the word worked: a give and take world. She claims that if anyone starts to like her, they won't get anything in return. Zenkichi asks if she can say the same thing to the other members of the Swimming Club, to which Kikaijima replies that those two are different, as the three of them are like family. Zenkichi tells her that Medaka is the same way, only she sees all of humanity as her family, and that she likes Kikaijima so much, she doesn't know what to do about it. Kikaijima remembers pacing outside the suggestion box, when Medaka approaches her from behind and asks her what she is doing. While Kikaijima tries to answer, Medaka tells her that she was looking for her anyway: after knocking her into the pool, Medaka couldn't get her mind off of Kikaijima, and claims that she has fallen for her. Medaka then tells Kikaijima that the Student Council needs a Treasurer, and asks her to help out. Kikaijima remembers that that was the first time she was asked to help someone. Kikaijima suddenly realizes that she has been having a normal conversation with Zenkichi, and that this is her chance to make a new friend. She worries that if she starts thinking about it, she might fail again, when she decides to do the same thing Medaka did. She then interrupts the still talking Zenkichi, claiming that she has fallen for him, and is going to kiss him. Medaka and Akune later find her on top of Zenkichi in the Student Council room, with Zenkichi trying to force her off of him.[15]

Kikaijima is spotted walking with the rest of the Student Council by Harigane Onigase of the Public Morals Committee, who confronts the Student Council in their office. After Onigase calls out Zenkichi and Akune on their uniforms, she turns to Kikaijima. While Kikaijima initially denies having made an alterations to her uniform, Onigase successfully reveals that she has been wearing her swimsuit beneath her uniform, to which an embarrassed Kikaijima can only try to claim she was testing Onigase. She asks the other girl whether it would be alright for her to wear only her swimsuit, a suggestion Onigase immediately shoots down. When Medaka claims that she has never been embarrassed about her splendid body, the other members of the Student Council are at a loss for words. When Medaka finally declares that she just doesn't want to change her clothing, the other members of the Student Council are appalled. After Onigase leaves, Kikaijima sets about cleaning up the office.[16]

While Medaka visits the music room, Kikaijima is busy putting up fliers.[17] She is unaware as Rankaku Yoshinogari sneaks up behind her, weapons drawn.[18][19] Kikaijima remains oblivious to Yoshinogari, but is pleased that her work was well done. She notices something amiss when Medaka clothelines Yoshinogari, but turns around to find the hallway empty.[20]

The Student Council after Unzen's attack

The Student Council after Unzen's attack.

In the Student Council office, Kikaijima and the others listen to Medaka's explanation of Myouri Unzen's weapon: the super ball. Kikaijima is skeptical, but is quickly convinced after seeing the super ball in action. When Unzen shows up at the office, Kikaijima is unimpressed, stating that his actions are not cute at all.[21] As she listens to Unzen speak, Kikaijima looks grim.[22] When Medaka cries out that the super balls he dropped earlier were actually filled with gunpowder, Kikaijima is stunned. She worriedly tries to convince Unzen that if he detonates his bombs, he will be caught in the explosion as well, though her words have no effect.[23] When the smoke clears, Kikaijima and the other members of the Student Council are revealed to be fine. Unzen realizes that Medaka, in the short time she had, threw water on some of the bombs, kicked some out the window, and then sheltered her fellow members in lockers.[24] As Medaka enters War God Mode Kikaijima and the others can only watch. As Akune and Zenkichi discuss War God Mode, Kikaijima listens without saying anything.[25]

He then tells her and Akune that if they want to leave the Student Council, now is the time, surprising them both.[28] As Medaka moves to make her last attack on Unzen, Kikaijima and the rest of the Student Council grab on to her, stopping her before she can finish. She tells them to let go of her if they don't want to get dragged into her problems, but they all refuse. All three are shocked when Medaka asks Unzen to become her Vice-President. Both she and Akune are amazed when Medaka speaks so easily about the extent of her injuries.[29] Together, the Student Council walks off into the sunset.[30]

Kikaijima tries to contribute

In the (temporary) Student Council office, Kikaijima and the others work to manage the academy in without the hospitalized Medaka. All three enjoy the quiet, though Kikaijima and Akune soon become distressed by Medaka's absence. At Kikaijima's urging, Zenkichi checks the suggestion box, only to find Sasae Mochibaru outside the door. Mochibaru leads them to the Shogi Club, and asks them to help her find a missing piece of a shogi set – the king. Zenkichi and Akune are notably put out by the messy state of the club room, though Kikaijima is more interested in the shogi pieces – a boxwood set – and their monetary value. The three change in to more appropriate clothing, and set about cleaning up the club room in search of the missing game piece. A mishap with a table leads to a sizable on each forehead, and the three reminisce on how Medaka has affected their lives as they clean. The Student Council are exhausted by the time they finish, but still have been unable to locate the missing king. Akune discovers that the king is missing from every shogi set in the room, and leads the Student Council to the prime suspect, Miri Natayama. The three confront Natayama on the roof, who all but outright confesses to the crime. After Zenkichi and Akune each say their piece to Natayama, Kikaijima tries to add to the conversation as well, though all she can contribute is trivia. Afterwards, each member of the Student Council arrives at the temporary office with a flower pot, prompting all three to start laughing.[31]

However, Kikaijima and the others follow Medaka, who chooses to forego the elevator in favor of the stairs.[33] As she and Medaka walk in front, she realizes that they have been walking in circles when Medaka points it out to her. She asks Kikaijima to use the same method she used when the two of them were in an amusement park maze. Kikaijima releases a loud shout into the maze, allowing Medaka to figure out their location with sonar. Kikaijima is upset when both Zenkichi and Akune complain to her, promising to tell Yakushima and Tanegashima when she gets back.

Kikaijima intentionally lets herself get cut

Kikaijima intentionally lets herself get cut.

Kikaijima thinks of the time she has spent with Medaka, including their trip to an amusement park, and decides there is no way she is going to let the Flask Plan ruin the life of a fifteen-year-old girl. She stares down Yukuhashi, until a well-planned taunt provokes her to tell Yukuhashi to shut him, the force of her voice acting like a sound cannon. This proves to be a mistake however, as Kikaijima breathes in more of the knockout gas. Even so, she awakens herself by ripping off a nail. Yukuhashi asks Kikaijima why she is fighting so hard for Medaka, who was formerly her enemy; Kikaijima replies that for a friend, she will fight. She then uses her sound cannon to send shards of glass at Yukuhashi. Because she thought this strategy through however, Yukuhashi sees through it and deflects the projectiles. Kikaijima begins to tremble, desperate for air. When Yukuhashi tells Kikaijima that a person cannot be friends with someone standing on different levels from them though, Kikaijima loses her temper, and rips off four more nails. She states that because people treat Medaka as a special being, Medaka is always lonely. Kikaijima finishes be declaring that she will rescue Medaka, and then all of the Student Council will go to the amusement park together.[86] Kikaijima claims she has found the weak point in Yukuhashi's Reading Minds, and offers one chance for surrender. Kikaijima steels herself, and then takes in a deep breath. Unable to decide which option would be best, she uses her Hyper Soprano and Voice Canon simultaneously, and aims for the ceiling. Remembering Zenkichi's fight with Munakata, she aims for the light fixtures, bringing down a rain of glass upon herself. When Yukuhashi collapses, she reveals that she realized if Yukuhashi could feel her emotions, then her pain could be felt also. She states that with Yukuhashi's understanding of the pain of other, Yukuhashi must be the kindest person in the world. She then begs Yukuhashi to let the Student Council save Medaka.

Sometime after the school festival, Kikaijima and Medaka attend a Kiyoterae concert. Afterwards, the pair meet up with the group in their dressing room.[151] As Medaka questions why her singing lacks passion, Kikaijima also wonders why Medaka's ability in the arts is lacking, since she usually influences people around her all the time.[152] The Swimming Club are approached by Medaka asking about Shiranui; none of them remember her.[153] As Zenkichi hovers near death, Kikaijima's voice is one of the many that gives him encouragement.[154] She is also one of the people he remembers before preparing to fight Iihiko Shishime.[155] At the end of the academic year, Kikaijima is among the students present at the Hakoniwa Academy graduation ceremony.[156] She applauds Kumagawa at the conclusion of his speech.[157] She joins her friends for a group photo after the ceremony ends.[158]

She tells Medaka that "Youka Naze" and "Kujira Kurokami" are two different people, and that Kumagawa is participating, but wanted to fight her alone.[159] Her message to Medaka is the promise they will be friends forever.[160] Come April of the new school year, Kikaijima is present at the entrance ceremony for Zenkichi's speech and the introduction of the new chair. She is delighted to see the academy's new chairwoman is none other than Medaka.[161]

Epilogue Arc[]

Ten years later, Kikaijima reunites with her friends on the tenth anniversary of Ajimu's disappearance. Changing in the Student Council office with the other women, she is startled by the sudden arrival of Zenkichi and Kamome Tsurubami.[162] As Akune talks with the others, Kikaijima approaches him, stating that her infant child Mogami will play with his toys when he is older. She hands her son to Zenkichi, expressing her desire for Mogami to grow up to have a strong will like Zenkichi. She explains his name means "best", to signify that he is her most important treasure. Though her surname is no longer Kikaijima, she states she is still called as such at her workplace. She discuses the other members of the Swimming Club and Nabeshima, noting that Nabeshima was the only member of their generation to achieve international status.[163] At some point, Kikaijima takes Mogami back from Zenkichi.[164] She falls silent as the others discuss the missing Kumagawa.[165] A flustered Naze holds Mogami as Kikaijima watches.[166]
