Notes
[edit]- The Licca-chan line of fashion dolls began in 1967 and is one of Takara's longest-running and most successful franchises, though it would take almost 60 years for the toyline to reach North America in 2026. Licca's in-game appearance in DreamMix TV is specifically based on the toy's fourth-generation design, which has been active since 1987; all of Licca's alternate costumes are also based on real fourth-generation Licca-chan dolls.
- Licca's Library profile image in DreamMix TV World Fighters is a photograph of the original fourth-generation doll.
- Licca does not technically "fight" in DreamMix TV World Fighters, per a mandate from Takara's higher-ups that she not be allowed to engage in direct violence, so her moves are all dance techniques that just happen to damage opponents instead.[1]
- Licca became somewhat infamous among DreamMix TV World Fighters players for being rather overpowered, particularly her "Licca Turn" attack. Even members of the development staff have admitted she was a bit imbalanced compared to the rest of the cast.[1]
- A short animated film based on the concurrent Super Doll Licca-chan toyline was packaged alongside a Microman short film and the Beast Wars episode "Cutting Edge" for the 1999 Summer Toei Anime Fair.
- Pierre and Olie, Misha Miramond's deceased parents in the Energon cartoon, are named after Licca's parents, Pierre (ピエール) and Orie (織江).
- Surprisingly, DreamMix TV World Fighters was not Licca's first fighting game appearance. She appeared as a guest character in the Takara-published Battle Arena Nitoshinden, under the name "Rika".
