Mamiya Chiba is the boy who was Mikage's reason for creating the Black Rose Duelists. He is Tokiko Chida's younger brother, and quite ill. When Mikage first used to come over to see Tokiko, he would see Mamiya in their rose garden, and Tokiko would scold him for getting out of bed. Mamiya and Mikage grew closer together, and when Nemuro Memorial Hall burnt down Mamiya confessed as the arsenist. This may have been to take the blame off of Mikage, but it isn't really specified. Anyway, when Mikage duels Utena, the item on all the desks in the arena is a photograph of himself and Mamiya. Right before he loses, Mikage has a vision of Mamiya saying to him "You're going to lose now, sempai." Then, when he looks at the picture, he sees a totally different boy. It is implied that this is the true Mamiya and the one Mikage was seeing was only a manifestation. After the battle and after Mikage leaves, Akio is shown talking to the boy which we knew as Mamiya, asking him if he symphathized with Mikage. When he doesn't get an answer, Akio informs Mamiya that Mikage doesn't exist in the academy anymore. Then, he adds, "No, he never has from the beginning. Just as you haven't."
