About Kaiman.

During a trip on New Year's night, Vaux asked her and Kaiman to go to the house of an old friend of his. They got lost for hours in the huge Mansion, which was being warped by magic. They decided to give up and have their new year's dinner in the dining room. They were found by Prof. Kasukabe, an old scientist who researches Magic Users and the corpses of sorcerers killed by the pair. After their meeting, the Professor explained to them his research, and Nikaido chooses to go with Kaiman to the Magic Users Realm to track down the sorcerer responsible for his head. They use an artificial Magic Door that Kasukabe made using the corpses of the Magic Users.

She is one of the first characters of the manga, fighting Fujita while Kaiman "interrogates" Matsumura. She breaks the sorcerer's finger and kicks him to the ground. Fujita manages to escape through a Magic Door before Nikaido and Kaiman could get to him. Afterward, the pair decides to go back to her restaurant for food. After running an errand to get roasted pork and passing through the Hospital was Kaiman is working, she finds a young man outside her door asking for food. She invites him in and is immediately assaulted as she discovers he is the sorcerer responsible for the recent attacks that have been partially turning people into bugs. Later, Kaiman finds her in a similar partially transformed state and rushes her to the Hospital before setting off to hunt down and kill the sorcerer. Upon his death, the transformation effects are undone, and Nikaido returns to normal.

After a trip to see the photos, Nikaido took of Kaiman's mouth (to see the man inside his mouth), they assaulted Magic User with a skull mask, chopping off their fingers to stop the smoke from coming out and tearing the sorcerer's mask apart. They are shocked to discover that she is a little girl. Regardless, Kaiman sticks his jaws around his head to be interrogated. Shortly after, a Magic Door appeared in front of Nikaido and the sorcerer she let escape dragged the little Magic User through the door, leaving them alone to finally see the pictures. To Kaiman's disappointment, Nikaido just found out that he had tooth decay.

During the Night of the Living Death, she and Kaiman participated as zombie exterminators to collect enough identification plates from the corpses to exchange them for a mincer. So that Nikaido could make gyozas more efficiently, they had an encounter with Shin and Noi, En's cleaners sent to kill them. Nikaido fought against Noi, who was impressed with her fighting skills and even asked to be her friend before resuming the fight.

While living in Hole, Nikaido took to selling gyoza but was unable to afford his own place. One day, she found a shop that was being assaulted by the victims of various practicing Magic Users. They demanded that the owner, Syueron, close the shop as Magic Users frequented the location after practicing on the people of Hole. Nikaido, who was unaware of their reasons, confronted and drove off the angry magic victims practicing. Afterward, Syueron recruits her to be the shop's bodyguard and to sell her gyoza with him. One morning, they returned to find that the shop had been broken into and trashed. This prompts Syueron to go with Mr. Moroku, a Devil and long-time regular customer of his, to open a new shop in the Magic User's realm. He leaves the shop to Nikaido, who rebuilds it into The Hungry Bug.

Nikaido, in the past, was part of a volunteer group that recovered the bodies of the people killed around Hole. While in a dark corridor, she finds a large decapitated body and had proceeded to put it into a body bag to report the corpse to Dr. Vaux. Later, when they arrive to take the body to the Hospital, they find it upright and walking towards them. Nikaido removes the bag and finds a blood-soaked man with a reptile head. They take care of him, and Nikaido begins to call the man Kaiman. The two quickly become close friends. Kaiman becomes a huge fan of Nikaido's gyoza, and she promises to help them look for who was responsible for transforming his head. Together, they hunt down the sorcerers who come to the hole looking for practice, typically killing them after they answer Kaiman's question of what "the man inside his head" said.

Born in the Magic-User Realm, Nikaido became an orphan when she was still a baby. Raised by an elderly couple whom she referred to as Aunt and Uncle, she lived a happy life with other adopted orphans. Her older sister Yakumo and brother Kawajiri played with her and trained her in martial arts and acrobatics, making her extremely skilled in combat and stronger beyond an average sorcerer (able to defeat even adults easily).

Martial Prowess. Nikaido is one of the strongest and most capable fighters shown, able to easily dispatch of enemies and even dealing damage to opponents like Hole-Kun while totally unarmed. She is shown leading great distances and moving at blinding speeds even as a child.
Cooking Skills. As a restaurant owner, Nikaido is an excellent cook.
DevilForm. During her transformation into a Devil, she gains many of her powers, such as increased motivation, strength, speed and dark sight. Once the last of her magic is spent, she reverts back into a sorcerer.
TimeMagic. Debatably the most powerful magic in the world. Nikaido's magic takes the form of a metallic box with a revolver-like cylinder with five crystalline "bullets", by firing them she and anyone she is holding on to are transported back in time. While traveling, the user may cause changes to the timeline but these will be "reconciled" when the firing time is reached - where upon the "original" version of the character vanishes and is subsumed into the traveler. While traveling, she may also return to the firing time at no cost. The box can be used by anyone who wields it, not just Nikaido. After the last bullet is spent, the box crumbles to nothing and may never be used again.

Nikaidou can't stand being underestimated or treated like a damsel: she's a fierce fighter and expectations to be taken seriously, both in the kitchen and in battle. She hates wasting food more than almost anything: seeing ingredients thrown away or meals ruined genuinely upsets her. She has little patience for people who look down on her cooking or dismiss the Hungry Bug as nothing special. And, despite her chaotic style, she dislikes disorder in her kitchen: her workspace is her domain, and anyone who messes with her ingredients or interrupts her flow earns her wrath. She also isn't fond of being separated from Caiman or her found family: the people she loves are non-negotiable, and anything that threatens them is an instant enemy.

Nikaidou is an obsessive cook: her absolute passion is cooking and eating, especially for Caiman and the others, with mushrooms as her specialty, which she cultivates and prepares in every possible way. She dreams of her restaurant, the Hungry Bug, becoming a famous place full of customers. She loves extravagant, eye-catching clothing, dressing in an eccentric style that mixes colors and layers without fear of looking ridiculous. She enjoys upbeat music, filling her kitchen with lively songs while she works. And she also likes chaos and the adrenaline of combat: fighting and using her smoke magic excites her, though always to protect her loved ones, not for pure pleasure.

Nikaido is a young woman with long blonde hair, blue eyes, an athletic and muscular body build, and a curvy figure (mostly shown after her Devil training). At the beginning of the series, her clothes consisted of dark baggy pants and a black jacket with a Chinese design. About midway in the series, she wears green overalls with combat boots and leather gloves.

During the time as En's partner, her clothes changed to a red jumpsuit with black boots and gloves. While captive and sick in En's Mansion, her outfit consisted of a black jacket and black panties. Most of her body was covered in bandages due to her body's resistance to healing properly.

During devil training, she used a heavy, impractical black armor to make her body appear more like a Devil. After she began to change in body type, she started wearing a set of shoulder and leg guards, a hoodie, and an apron with nothing to cover her under the waist. This was mostly due to her "devil side," preferring practical clothing, despite appearance. After regaining consciousness, she changed to a more modest set of green overalls over a white tank top.

Nikaido has an easy-going and friendly attitude, although she keeps many of her worries and anxieties to herself. She is confident in her physical abilities and isn't easily frightened. When turning devil, she becomes overly bright and cheerful, and always wears a smile on her face, even at depressing times.
