Tanaka Michiko (
| Spoiler Information |

| After being defeated and removed from power, she took on the name Imitatio (イミタシオ, Imitashio?) and a civilian name of Imita Shion ( |
Appearance[]
As Lord Enorme, Michiko has brown hair and appears to be wearing a white kimono with a military styled navy blue jacket. She has a white and gold metal and cloth ornament in her hair and wears black boots and gloves.
As Imitatio, she somehow takes on a childlike appearance, which Venalita believes stems from the trauma of being spanked by Magia Baiser influencing her transformation. She has grey hair and pale blue eyes with star-shaped pupils. She wears what looks like a skimpy military uniform.
Presumably as a result of her injuries when escaping from Sister Gigant, Michiko now has a scar under her left eye.
Personality[]
As Lord Enorme, Michiko is cruel and remorseless, being the mastermind who caused the defeat and possible deaths of many magical girls. She is extremely arrogant and very self-entitled, believing that the world exists solely for the sake of being ruled by her. She takes pride in her actions, and has no qualms with torturing others for any reason, even her own subordinates. She also shows the condescending arrogance of a psychopath and emotional volatility of a sociopath.
However, due to acting like a child with chuunibyou, she is overly dramatic, making unnecessary poses and reciting speeches that sound like a stereotypical villainous monologue. As a result, Magia Baiser is repulsed by her personality and, upon entering her empowered form, subconsciously filters her vision to see Lord Enorme as a child.
During her punishment from Magia Baiser when the latter stripped her of her clothing in order to spank her, Michiko is revealed to have a cowardly side when she tries to justify her actions and begs her former subordinates to save her, promising to forgive them, only for them to stand back and do nothing.
As Imitatio, she seems to rate strength above all else and is extremely dismissive of those she considers weak. To demonstrate her point, she restrains Magia Azul and gives her a spanking while the other two Tres Magia members are too weak to do anything due to being exhausted from their previous battle.
After Baiser intentionally throws a fight with the Shio-chans that is broadcasted to the public, Michiko loses her sense of direction, not understanding why people were cheering for her and questioning why Baiser did not expose to the world that Lord Enorme and Imitatio were the same person. She gets a job at a convenience store, where she eventually becomes more humble, though she is still prone to anger. After speaking to Utena about the fight, Michiko finally understands the appeal of being a magical girl and regains her confidence, turning a new leaf over to be the best magical girl she can be.
Deep down, Michiko is ashamed of her past actions, and believes she does not deserve happiness due to the fear and harm she inflicted on magical girls as Lord Enorme. This goes as far as pulling her pants down in front of her friends and begging them to punish her while highly intoxicated. She feels that she is blessed to have found Randa and Momo as friends, as well as being able to obtain a job at a workplace with a kind manager.
She was convinced to drop out of college by Venalita and so she insists on Randa taking school seriously. Ch 56
Abilities[]
As Lord Enorme[]
Trans-Magia (
Recognition Inhibition (認識阻害, Ninshiki Sogai?) is an ability that prevents people from recognizing a transformed magic user.
Demonic Creation (魔物の創造, Mabutsu no Souzou?) is Lord Enorme's main ability. She can create demonic minions that fight on her behalf. Unlike Magia Baiser, who creates her minions from objects, Lord Enorme's minions are created and sustained by her magic alone. Her minions have mask-like faces and gelatinous bodies, and are capable of regenerating when struck, and conjoining into larger complex forms. The only way to truly stop them is to defeat Lord Enorme.

Trivia[]
- Having been confirmed to be twenty, Michiko is the oldest known magical girl.

- Upon becoming Imitatio, her power is now presumably her own, just like the others.
- According to Nemo, Michiko is terrible at making names.
- She originally wanted to name the Shio-chans "Fake Magia" before Momo shot it down instantly.
- She is also implied to be the cause of Loco Musica's grammatically incorrect name.
- Michiko's alias "Imita Shion" is a pun on the Spanish word "imitación", which translates to "imitation".
- As a result of having her butt spanked by Baiser following her defeat, Michiko's weak point is her butt.
- Michiko is able to maintain her disguise as Imita Shion (her La Verità form) in her everyday life even when not transformed.
- Michiko was tricked into dropping out of college by Venalita.
- Michiko has a very weak alcohol tolerance, as even just two or three sips of beer was enough to get her drunk. Ch 56
