Mima (魅魔) is an evil spirit that haunts the area around the Hakurei Shrine. Though she is called an evil spirit, she is not the same variety as the ones that appear in Subterranean Animism and Wild and Horned Hermit. She is, in reality and fantasy, extremely strong, and she is very confident in her combat and magical abilities. Originally, she is sealed in the hokora attached to the shrine, but she manages to repeatedly break free of the seal.

​Mima though admits she's a ghost, but a living soul among all boundaries, Mima's magic is most powerful during the night. She claims to want revenge against the entire human race, but it's not known what her motivations for that are.
