Midori Francis, who has starred as Mika Yasuda in the last two seasons of Grey’s Anatomy, will be departing the show next season, according to Deadline.

What’s Happening:

  • In an apparently amicable decision, Midori Francis will be departing the long-running ABC medical drama in the upcoming season.
  • Francis has been a regular on the show for the past two seasons, and will be returning for Season 21 to wrap up her character’s story.
  • The scrappy middle child with eight siblings, Yasuda is known for her dark sense of humor which has gotten her in trouble since Day 1 of her surgical internship. She has been part of a ragtag group of five doctors accepted into the newly launched teaching program at Grey Sloan at the start of Season 19.
  • She’s not the only Grey’s Anatomy regular departing the series, as Jake Borelli, who plays Levi Schmitt, is also leaving after seven seasons.
  • Francis is known for her starring role in Netflix’s Dash & Lilly, as well as in Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls.
