To find my creator, the Sock Puppet Master: Choberiba in California COMPLETED!To find the target of his joke, Mopar, in Connecticut (in New Jersey) and a picture next to the sign of Dunellen, NJ (Mitsuko's home town) COMPLETED!- To return home.
The best way to track down a cacher to look for the caches that he's visited or placed. Psychology would state that the earlier the find or placement, the more likely it is to be near their home.

For those who don't read the
Geocaching Discussion Forums, we can always count on our good friend Choberiba (alias Eric O'Connor) to keep things in perspective with a good sense of humor. Occassionally, though, it comes back to bite him.
A while back, he created a login named Mitsuko to play a practical joke. Unfortunately, it kinda got a little out of hand and some people's feelings got hurt. Read Choberiba's Dissertation
here.
I've mellowed after the weeks that this occurred, so much that I felt the need to have a little fun myself.
Mitsuko is alive and well, and has a new attitude. She has hiking boots and is trying to make her way to her creator, then to the target of the joke, and then back home.

in Mitsuko's Geocaching profile,
including the one to the left.
Before sending this travel bug on
its mission, I obtained permission
from Choberiba and Mopar. |

Further Information
Her posts were wiped from the boards, but some remnants remain. In this post, it shows that Mitsuko was clever enough to post thoughts in the Thailand thread to give credence to her Asian heritage
Here is another reference (with picture!).
Here's another reference by BrianSnat, and an entire thread about her.
As far as I know, there was no real “joke” beyond baiting Mopar with a personality that was too good to be true: a very bright, gorgeous woman that was into Geocaching, and happened to live near Mopar.
