Character Information: Yomiko Readman
Japanese: 読子・リードマン
Seiyuu: Miura Rieko
Yomiko is a 25 year-old (OVA) secret agent with her code name as "The Paper," for the Royal British Library's Division of Special Operations (Diet). She is very cherry and "out of it", but can be quite forceful when books are involved. She loves to collect books so much that her house is full of books. In the book store, there is a picture of her on a sign saying, "Please say Hello to our most important customer." For Yomiko's secret agent job, she has magical powers. She can make paper to anything she wants it to do, for instance make a huge paper air plane or fire paper like missels.
In the manga, Yomiko's paper is actually magic paper, made by Jiggy Stardust. However, in the anime, it seems that she can use any paper.
When Yomiko is not doing her secret agent job or collecting books, she is a substitute teacher.
Yomiko is of British-Japanese heritage. She grew up in Saitama. Yomiko's mother also loved books.
Name
Yomiko's name is a pun. First, "yomi" is stem form for "to read" in Japanese. "ko" can mean "little," or "child," or "girl." So "yomiko" means "reading little girl." Her lastname, "Readman," is pretty straightforward.
