Mio Hio

桧尾澪

Mio first appears halfway into the anime series. She is a character exclusive to the anime version of D.N. Angel, a student who suddenly transferred to Daisuke's school (as shown in episode 14). All that is known at that time is that she left for America and stayed there for 2 years before coming back to Japan. First impressions of Mio is that she is a rather simple minded "valley girl" (or an American gaijin in the Japanese version, even going as far as to say "Sorry! I can't speak Japanese!" when confronted with certain demands or, in the English dub, telling Riku in Spanish that she can't speak English. ~! It is later revealed that she is actually a voodoo doll living in a temporary body and promised a real life by Satoshi Hiwatari's adoptive father, Kei. However, in order for her to attain a real life, someone must be sacrificed... in this case Daisuke. The initial reason why she occupied herself with Daisuke was to get him to wear a powerful magical charm (actually a pair of charms [one in the shape of a heart, the other in the form of a heart shaped key] and the pair must be interlocked when worn for the magic to activate) that would then seal his soul wit
