Personality: At first glance, Mikoshiba might look intimidating and serious, standing at a height of 6’2” (and this is Japan, after all), as well as he’s the captain for a swimming team that’s nationally renowned as a swimming powerehouse. However, he’s actually far from, though while of course as a captain - he has his moments where he’s will be taken seriously. He has to make tough calls, but he’ll do it because it’s his duty.
Other than that Mikoshiba’s a good guy, always grinning and acting friendly with everyone, always keeping an eye out for his team mates. In the drama CDs he’ll joke with Nitori and Rin on a very close level, implying that he has a good relationship with his team mates. He also seems to have an affection for cute girls, quick to casually flirt with Rin’s little sister when he first meets her. (Sadly, he doesn’t have the permission to date her. - Yet. One day…..)
He shows good leadership in the way he manages a quite large swim team, staying serious when it matters as well as he shows great skill and knowledge of what he does. It’s also shown that his team actually respects him, so he’s no joke. When it comes to decisions he’s precise and thinks of what’s best for the team, like for example when Rin shows poor team spirit, Mikoshiba makes the decision to take him off the relay because while Rin is a good swimmer, a relay is a team sport. But, in the end, when Rin swims for Iwatobi in the relay instead and comes to Mikoshiba apologizing, he offers him mercy and doesn’t kick him off the team as long as he does it for their team, next time. He might make ruthless decisions, but he’s not heartless. It’s what makes him a good captain.
Much like the rest of the people in this show, he seems to be really enjoying swimming. In the episode you do get to see him swim he breaks the pool record, looking genuinely thrilled at the announcement. In the end, though, Mikoshiba’s your normal teenage guy. A bit on the tall side with lots of muscles, but still coming up with dumb jokes and hitting on girls. He’s helpful and always has good intentions, though they sometimes might seem a little weird -- is him calling Kou “Gou-kun” a really terrible way of teasing her? We just don’t know.
Background: Not much is known about Mikoshiba’s background as he’s a minor character. He’s the captain of Samezuka’s swim club and a senior at the high school. He’s first introduced when Kou first visits Samezuka in order to find her brother, seeming intimidating at first but actually turning out to be a good guy who just happens to like cute girls. Since then he pops up every time Samezuka appears, though nothing’s stated about his past, at least yet.
In the swimming competition, however, he’s shown to be an incredibly skilled swimmer, to prove why he’s the captain of the Samezuka’s powerhouse. In the Drama CD, it’s mentioned that he lives with his family, and has a younger sister at the same age as Kou -- this coming from a misunderstanding between Rin and him, where Rin thinks Mikoshiba went on a date with his precious sister.
