Girl
The girl (女の子?, Onnanoko)[1], referred to as Miss[2] in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise and Yuka (ユカ?, Yuka)[3] in Nintendo Badge Arcade, is a character who appeared alongside Monkeys and a Giraffe in Tap Trial in Rhythm Tengoku, Rhythm Heaven Fever, and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Story
The girl wanted to enter the secret tap-dance parties of the animal kingdom, and went to great lengths to find shoes with the right shade of red[4]. A custom in her country is that girls wear bright red shoes and dance in front of guys they like at dance parties, which she describes as nerve-wracking[5]. On her birthday, her mother gave her a new dress[6]. She is very stylish and wears many different outfits. She also convinced the monkeys to try new outfits along with her[7].
Although she's not playable in Rhythm Heaven, she does appear on the Title screen, as well as the epilogues in Rhythm Heaven Demo Version and in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic, with a slightly different outfit. She appears on the album covers for Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu and Rhythm Tengoku Gold Kokunai-ban Kaigai-ban Zen Vocal-shu with new outfits as well.
The girl makes a cameo appearance in Remix 9 in Rhythm Heaven Fever, where the School Library Pep Squad show images of her in the various costumes she wore in the past.

Trivia
- Although the information given for the rhythm items are usually consistent or atleast not contradictory across languages, Rhythm Sesang: The Best Plus states the dress is a hand-me-down from the girl's mother, with the added detail of it being used to win over her dad at a dance party, and that it took him eight years to say yes[9].
- The girl, like a few other characters, has appeared in every game in the Rhythm Heaven series.
- A similar girl appears on the Title Screen and in promotional material for Rhythm Heaven Fever, though she appears to be a separate character.
- The character Girlfriend from Friday Night Funkin' was inspired by this girl, specifically her appearance in Rhythm Heaven Fever[10]. This was confirmed in a tweet as well, though citing the design from Rhythm Heaven (or the series in general) instead[11], to which Girlfriend's design bears a closer resemblance.
