Mima refers to imitation or mimicry, a concept found in nature and human society. In nature, animals use mimicry for survival, while in human society, art, performance, and role-playing games harness it for self-expression, connection, and imagination. Additionally, Mima can refer to the Greek god of mimicry, Mimus, or the British philosopher Mima Polyani, who explored imitation and art in her work.
