This article is about a character featured in the Pokémon anime who has not yet debuted in the English language dub. As such, their information may contain romanized Japanese names, rather than dub names.

(Japanese: ミコト Mikoto) is a recurring character from the anime. She is voiced by 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō in Japanese. She is the guardian of the Snowpoint Temple.

She first appeared in A Pyramiding Rage! where she welcomed Brandon right after his arrival. She and Samuel left to investigate the Snowpoint Temple and then later warns Brandon that Pokémon Hunter J has attacked the Temple. Mikoto and Brandon asked her not to disturb Regigigas, which resides in the Temple, but J ignored their warnings, causing damage to the Temple.

After Regirock, Registeel, Regice, and Brandon were all turned to stone by J in order to protect Regigigas, Mikoto begged it to restore them to their original forms. It granted her wish and she thanked it.
