Rika

リカ

Rika (リカ) is a young girl living in Shell Town who attempted to thank Zoro by offering him onigiri while he was imprisoned, but he refused and told her to go away. Helmeppo then entered and rudely took the food from her, stating that giving it to Zoro would make her an accomplice to a criminal, though he subsequently spat it out, complaining that the onigiri contained sugar instead of salt. Helmeppo then ordered the marine standing behind him to throw her out; the marine reluctantly complied, but fortunately, Luffy caught Rika before any harm could come to her.
Zoro was imprisoned by the Marines because he defended Rika when she was nearly attacked by Helmeppo's pet wolf. Because Helmeppo viewed this as a crime against himself, he ordered Zoro to remain imprisoned for thirty days. Zoro, not wanting to cause further trouble, accepted this.
Rika later became friends with both Helmeppo and Koby during their stay in Shell Town, and she became upset when the two left with Vice-Admiral Garp. She later appeared in filler episodes as well as TV Special 4, where she is friends with Ninjin, Piman, and Tamanegi.
Her only known relative is her mother, the bartender Ririka.
She is voiced by Kate Oxley in the Funimation dub. Her seiyuu is Emi Uwagawa, and her English voice in the 4Kids dub is performed by Lisa Ortiz.
