Mika is a college friend and former girlfriend of Takayuki Kuroki. She is also an associate of Reina Akikawa, working as a freelance photographer and journalist, though she is often contracted by car magazines to write various articles. When Kuroki became involved in street racing years before the current storyline, their relationship grew strained because of the time he spent tuning his car, leading them to break up and go their separate ways. Mika decided to see Kuroki again while he was planning to challenge the Devil Z. She then realized that his persistence in wanting to be the best was his greatest trait and came to appreciate that aspect of him. After Kuroki's failed race against the Devil Z, where he blew his car's engine and later worked on fixing it with his own hands, Mika confessed her love to him and decided to stay by his side. Although Kuroki initially tried to brush her off, he eventually appreciated Mika's persistence in staying with him, and they rekindled their relationship. She was once engaged to a magazine editor. For unknown reasons, Mika Murakami does not appear in the Maximum Tune games.
