The book is "So CRazy Japanese Toys" . Very cool book. Bigger pic of that bunny on pg. 46.
Wish I could help with the character, or series, but seems it must be an obscure spin=off from Kabutaku, or some such. The characer design is so similar.
The toy in the book likely came from KimonoMyHouse in CA, if not from a Japnanese store. Perhaps try emailing them Kimono? They still have some old stock.
There were always several toys in that book that caught my eye, but never bothered to track down, since they weren't so "vintage" at the time, over ten years ago, haha.

Oh sorry, yes, you spelled it correct to the book's index: "Mimina from Robotaku Made by Bandai 1998" is all it gives. And yes, very frustrating that nothing comes up in search. I tried some variations of the spelling and, zip.
The toy looks like based on the standard Bandai type SuperSentai/PowerRanger action figure body/joints.
Someone who's into Super Sentai, or cutesy Kabutaku type stuff may know? It's almost like Super Sentai,live action show, with some giant robots, but not exactly, LOL.
