Across the world, みつこ (Mitsuko , みつこ) is quite a rare principally female, but scarcely masculine given name. The forename みつこ is habitual in Japan, where it is a rare girly name, the United States, and Australia, where it is a very rare female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in the United States, Japan, and China. Very seldom, みつこ is the last name as well as the forename.
みつこ is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Mitsuko Souma , the Battle Royale character and Mitsuko , the 2011 film Guilty of Romance character.
