![]() First off, Academy City is a very secretive place, and Mikoto Misaka is an invaluable research subject. Now, there are some possible reasons that Mikoto Misaka wouldn't have celebrity status. The Tokiwadai uniform obviously helps a great deal at identifying her. In this case, people would have to have an idea of what she looks like. Since we know from later works in the series that this rumor is actually true, it is probable that it was started (or at least helped along) by mysterious sightings of look-alikes of Mikoto Misaka. The Railgun manga and other works in the franchise expand on this comment, explaining that it is a rumor Mikoto has heard. I guess the by-products were sweeter than the ultimate goal, huh? Hey, have you heard? They're developing some military-grade little 'sisters' for me, based on my DNA, that they can use in the army. In the first novel, Mikoto says this on pages 6-7: I don't think these points are irreconcilable, but my goal here is mostly just to present evidence and analysis from the light novels and manga rather than to reconcile the two points. These points are partially in conflict since I'm arguing on one hand that Misaka is famous, but on the other hand I'm saying she isn't. Secondly, Academy City has the motivation and the means to keep Misaka's fame level down. Firstly, even if her face isn't known by everyone in Academy City, many people do recognize Misaka Mikoto. I'd like to make a few points on this matter.
