Profile
Mimi has been described as a "girly girl" - spoiled, ditzy, vain, and prissy girl who complains a lot. She often talks of shopping and fashion. Mimi is also known to be flirtatious, hot-headed, and rather spunky. She is partnered to Palmon and is the bearer of the Crest of Purity.

Prelude to Digimon Adventure
She witnessed the Greymon/Parrotmon fight, which resulted in her becoming a Chosen Children.

Digimon Adventure
At first, Mimi is seen as the ditzy girly girl who adds more than a touch of superficiality to any situation that she is in. She has the Crest of Purity, which activates during a battle in which Togemon battles against Dark Tyrannomon. She is ten years old (the same age as Koushiro Izumi, yet a full head taller) and in the fourth grade. She comes from a loving family that never seems to have any problems. After looking at them, it is fairly easy to see where she gets her seemingly carefree attitude from; they're very emotional, somewhat ditzy and expressive people who openly show their love for each other in all the possible ways.

Despite being horribly out of touch with reality at points, Mimi is arguably one of the most realistic and feeling characters of the first season, as she demonstrates near the end of the series when she decides (temporarily) that she can't fight alongside the other Chosen Children after seeing a lot of the friends they made earlier die for their sake. She has a very strange tendency to flirt with Kido Jou, especially near the end of the season, but never officially gets together with him (although in the dub of the movie, Digimon Adventure: Our War Game, there is a brief cut to a valentine from Joe on her door, which did not exist in original).

Her closest friend in the group appears to be Takenouchi Sora, who seems to be the first one to comfort her in most situations that scare her, and is the main reason that she came to her senses at one point where she manages to influence a group of Gekomon to treat her as a princess and then throws both Taichi and Jou in the dungeon when they try to make her stop.

Digimon Adventure: Our War Game
She was taking a vacation in Hawaii and only has three lines in the whole movie, one of which is her answering machine when Yagami Taichi tries to reach her in a panic (She tells him to "leave a very short message after the tone" and gives him enough time to say, "Hi Mimi, it's T-" before cutting him off); another line cooing over the "fireworks" in the sky overhead that are actually government attempts to intercept a nuclear bomb that the United States had accidentally launched thanks to Infermon; and another when Taichi got the postcard from her.

Between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02
She was reunited with Palmon in May 2000 but only to release her Crest power to free the Four Holy Beasts. As a result, Palmon lost the power to evolve to Perfect. After that, she and her parents moved to New York City in the United States, prior to the September 11th incident in 2001.

Digimon Adventure 02
During Digimon Adventure 02, a gate to the Digital World opens in America, allowing Mimi to access the Digital World. How she enters is never explained - the gate can only be opened by the D-3, and Mimi only has the original model.

She plays an important role in the episode that Archnemon makes her first appearance. She is playing with a bunch of Yukimi Botamon, while Palmon is out collecting more food. While Palmon is out, she notices Archnemon converting a control spire into a Digimon. Archnemon orders the Digimon to destroy the dam. Palmon runs back to warn Mimi, who messages the others to come help. During the battle, after all five of the Chosen Children's Digimon are exhausted and defeated, Mimi messages Ken to come help despite the protests from Hida Iori and Inoue Miyako.

Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!! Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals
Takeru and Hikari are visiting her in New York. While she is taking their picture with a digital camera, something odd happens. She goes to a telephone booth to connect her laptop to test the connection, but disappears a few moments later. Takeru and Hikari are left to determine what made her disappear into thin air.

Digimon Adventure 02: Diablomon Strikes Back
In the first part of the movie, she was travelling to Japan by plane and later showed up at the school computer lab where Izumi Koushiro, Takaishi Takeru and Yagami Hikari were.

Series finale epilogue
By the year 2027, Mimi becomes a very famous, well loved and beautiful chef who has her own cooking show that is broadcast worldwide. Palmon likes to help Mimi on her show but she tends to be quite clumsy. Mimi also has a son who looks a lot like her. Her son's digimon partner is a small Tanemon.
