'''Professor Mirror''' (Japanese: '''カガミ博士''' ''Prof. Kagami'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] at the [[Laboratory of Ecology and Natural Sciences]] (L.E.N.S.) in the [[Lental]] region in [[New Pokémon Snap]]. He specializes in the [[Illumina phenomenon]]. Like [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pokémon Snap]], he evaluates the player's pictures and rates them by their size, placement, direction, pose, the other Pokémon in the picture, and background.

At the start of the game, he invites the player to the laboratory to assist him in conducting a survey of the [[Illumina phenomenon|Illumina Pokémon]] in the region. He is a good friend of [[Rita]]'s father and {{Todd}}.
