Mika Harima

Mika Harima (張間 美香, Harima Mika) is a friend of Anri Sonohara's, whom had been looking for her after she had disappeared from her home. She was a stalker, and had been stalking Seiji Yagiri until he accidentally "killed" her. Seiji then asked his sister to transplant the head of Celty onto Mika, however, Namie, Seiji's sister, merely gave her cosmetic surgery to look like Celty's head. She was presumed dead until episode 12 when she announces that Seiji hadn't really killed her, and that she is in love with him. Later, Seiji accepts her love simply because she looks like the head he so desparately fell in love with as a child.

In the manga, it is said that Mika is an intelligent girl from a rich family.

Dollars / Mika Harima Arc
She bumped into Mikado the day he came to Ikebukuro on the street with a mysterious scar around her neck then ran. The next day she wasn't at the opening ceremony for Raira. Mika was also mistakened for her old self from behind by both Anri and Mikado, but both backed off after seeing her new face and believing to be have been mistakened. She was eventually found by Seiji Yagiri as the girl with a scar on her neck, and Seiji came to call her Celty. One day she tried making Seiji run away from his sister's surveillance but the Headless Rider sees her and chases after her to get a better look.

Mika bumps into Mikado again but this time screaming "Save me!" Mikado runs with her and brings her to his house. Mikado offers to bring her to the police but she refuses. The next day she is left in Mikado's apartment alone. Then she gets a call from Izaya Orihara that she is going to be discovered soon so she runs into the street only to almost get ran over by Saburo Togusa, but he stops before he hits her.

Kyohei Kadota later that night brought Mika to Celty and Mika said her name was Celty, shocking the real Celty. After the Dollars meeting, Seiji attacked Celty with a taser, making her fall to the ground, opened Togusa's van and retrieved Mika. When Seiji encountered Mikado he thanked him but immediately pointed his blade at him when he brought up Mika's "death" and eventually started stabbing at him. When Celty got up and saw Seiji attacking Mikado, she slashed at Seiji but Mika interferred by jumping in the way and finally revealed she is Mika Harima. She then explained that she was stalking Seiji and one day went to his apartment and saw Celty's head in his possession, Seiji didn't want her to see it so he "killed" her. Luckily she was still alive and Shinra Kisintani gave her plastic surgery to look like the head and had told her that her name was now Celty. Seiji fell down in disbelief but Mikado remarked that Seiji really did care for Mika in a way and that the couple resembled each other.

The next day Mika came back to school with Seiji.

Izaya in the Hospital / Mika vs. Namie
Namie attempts to undo the plastic surgery done to make Mika look like Celty's head. Realizing what this would do to her and Seiji, she threatens Namie with the extensive amount of evidence she managed to gather about her and Izaya's activities. Mika states that she obtained all this information by bugging the house and the phones thoroughly, although Izaya noticed it easily.

Namie asks why she found out so much about not just her and Izaya but about Mikado, Shizuo, Anri, and everyone else and why she never did anything to stop it if she knew what Izaya was planning. Mika states that while she never did anything to help Anri or her other friends, she did what she could to keep Seiji out of harm's way. She explains that, despite his harsh nature, Seiji does feel guilty about almost stabbing Mikado during the Dollars meeting and would even try to help him if he found out about what was going on. Mika made sure to keep Seiji oblivious to what was happening so that Seiji wouldn't put himself in danger.

Differences between LN, Manga, and Anime

 * While in the anime Mika leaves Mikado's apartment after a phone call from Izaya and ran into (more like ran over by) Kadota and his gang, in the LN and manga Kadota and his gang, having already beat up and interrogated and an employee of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, noticed a message on the perp's phone commanding to get Mika Harima dead or alive along with the Mikado's address and simply beat everyone to her.
 * Namie never went to Izaya to ask him to find Seiji (and Mika, by extension) in the LN and manga.
 * Celty initially encountered Mika by chance as opposed to being set up by Izaya Orihara in the LN and manga.
