Misaka Mikoto is a main heroine in Toaru Majutsu no Index and the main protagonist of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Introduced in the first volume of the light novels, her role in the story was later expanded in the third volume as well as the release of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga, making her the main heroine of the science side and the second main heroine of the series.
She is the third ranked Level 5 esper in Academy City, and is nicknamed the Railgun due to her signature move. Kamijou Touma coined the nickname Biri-Biri (a Japanese onomatopoeia imitating the sound of electricity), while in the English dub she is referred to as "Bug Zapper", and whenever the two meet he usually calls her that, even after his amnesia.
Mikoto's power is known as the Railgun, lit. "Super Electromagnetic Cannon"). She chose the ability name herself, naming it after her famous finishing move. Her ability belongs to a type of esper powers known as Electromaster: those who can generate and manipulate electricity.
Mikoto is the most powerful Electromaster in Academy City. Her maximum output is known to be 1 billion volts. She has also demonstrated enough skill and battle knowledge to fight head on with powerful beings such as a Saint like Brunhild Eiktobel.
