Kikka Kobayashi, born Kikka Kitamoto, is among three orphans evacuated to the Earth Federation’s *White Base* during the One Year War. Alongside Letz and Katz, she emerges as a recurring figure aboard the vessel, actively participating in pivotal events like countering Ramba Ral’s last attack and assisting in dismantling explosives during Char Aznable’s infiltration of Jaburo. These contributions secure her place aboard the ship through subsequent campaigns at Solomon and A Baoa Qu. Post-war, she and her fellow orphans reveal latent Newtype potential, using their psychic abilities to guide Amuro Ray to the crew’s escape pod following the *White Base*’s destruction. Adopted by Hayato Kobayashi and Fraw Bow alongside Letz and Katz, Kikka integrates into their family, relocating from Cheyenne, Wyoming—where they briefly visit Amuro’s residence—to Japan. During this transition, she supports Fraw through her pregnancy, solidifying her role within the household. Her bond with Amuro persists as a narrative thread, influencing her future path. As a postwar writer, Kikka earns the Mt. Fuji New Writer’s Award amid the Second Neo Zeon War. Spurred by the Federation’s formal acknowledgment of Amuro’s death, she commits to documenting his personal legacy, countering his mythologized heroism. Returning to the Kobayashi home in Shizuoka during a Christmas hiatus, she gathers Fraw’s intimate recollections of Amuro’s youth and a letter from the late Hayato. Fraw further links her with Kai Shiden, who contributes a detailed roster of *White Base* personnel and Amuro’s associates, enriching her research. Kikka later ventures back to space for academic endeavors tied to preserving Amuro’s story. Decades on, she makes a brief appearance in the *Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn* OVA and its televised adaptation, glimpsed alongside an adult Letz during events surrounding Laplace’s Box—a cameo underscoring her enduring ties to Universal Century history.
