'''Seika Kohinata''' (小日向星華, ''Kohinata Seika'') is a third year [[Obelisk Blue]] student and Miss Duel Academia for the past two years. Her name is similar to the word "'''snake'''."
Seika is introduced in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Chapter 006 - Miss Duel Academia]] as one of the five final contestants shortlisted for the title of Miss Duel AcademiaAcadamy. During the final round of the contest, it is revealed that [[Alexis Rhodes|Asuka Tenjoin]] has the same number of votes, and that one of the Duel Academia students hasn't cast his or her vote. When that student is identified as [[Jaden Yuki|Judai Yuki]], one of AsukaAlexis's friends, Seika suspects the whole thing is a ploy orchestrated by Asuka Alexis to claim the title, when, in fact, neither Judai Jaden nor Asuka Alexis have any interest in the contest, as proven by AsukaAlexis's reluctance to participate and JudaiJaden's dislike of voting. Seika then challenges Judai Jaden to a Duel for his vote, but Asuka Alexis decides she'll Duel him instead. If Jaden wins, his vote will go to Seika, while if Asuka Alexis wins, she's allowed to drop out of the competition, making it a win-win situation for Seika. During the Duel, Seika is surprised by AsukaAlexis's intensity and passion, since all she had to do was "settle the pageant." Seika begins to understand that Asuka Alexis wants to be taken as a Duelist rather than simply a female, and realizes that she is Dueling with her heart and soul. Even though Judai Jaden wins in the end, Seika decides that Asuka Alexis should be Miss Duel Academia as she has proven to be better qualified.
Seika is later shown talking to [[Zane Truesdale|Ryo Marufuji]] before the Tournament finals. Ryo Zane comments that it is unusual for Seika to show any interest in actual Dueling, and that it's a "first" for her. Seika later reveals that she is in the Tournament to defeat Judai Jaden after his involvement in her dethroning as Miss Duel AcademiaAcademy, and to prove herself.
Seika is very touchy, and easily upset or infuriated as proven during her Duel with Judai Jaden in the Tournament finals. She also seems to nurture grudges, which is indicated from her planned revenge on JudaiJaden, making her temperament similar to the monsters she uses.
