Ran and Mike are playable characters in the Parodius series. They are a pair of cats with what look like bandages between their legs, a comical way of suggesting they've been neutered.

History

Ran and Mike made their first appearance in a Parodius game in Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius. Ran is TwinBee's tea-drinking friend, while Mike is WinBee's karaoke partner, and they both joined their friends to search for the legendary "Phantom Takoyaki". Mike's weapon set is heavily based on the first Darius, while Ran takes her weapons from R-Type Leo.

Mike also makes an appearance in the Parodius pachislot games.
