Mima Kirigoe is the main protagonist of the psychological thriller anime film Perfect Blue. She is a former idol pop singer who has aspired to become an actress ever since she was young. As she becomes a victim of stalking and goes deeper and deeper into her first role, she starts to lose her perception of what is real and what is fiction.
She is voiced by Junko Iwao in the Japanese version and Bridget Hoffman in the English version.
Overview[]
Mima is a popular singer from the group Cham who decides to leave her group to pursue a serious career as an actress. She manages to land a small role on a sexually-charged murder mystery series, but starts to struggle with the increasingly-intense demands of her part.
After her character is involved in a rape scene, Mima discovers an internet blog supposedly written by herself, or rather, the "innocent" persona she used as an Idol Singer. Mima has no memory of writing such a thing, but the entries are far too accurate and personal to be a hoax.
