Roughly a thousand years
before the story of Samurai Shodown begins, Mizuki was
infant who was thrown into the sea by her family due to the famine in her
country. Her spirit inadvertently made a pact with Ambrosia because she died
with such intense fear and hatred.
She eventually
washed ashore on the Shimokita Peninsula, and was found by a family of
villagers. They named her Mizuki (which means "seeing") since she
seemed to possess mystical abilities.
Thirteen years later, the village made a sacrifice and it formally contracts
Ambrosia. It is then that Mizuki becomes the evil entity, Rashojin Mizuki. Since
then, Mizuki
formed an eternal hatred towards humanity, and began creating various disasters around the
world.
Although she is an undead, she has to periodically change her body to gain
her powers.
300 years later, she
reaches her mental limit and hibernates near a shrine to recover her strength.
A century later, she was challenged by a priestess called
Bizuki, and found her to be a suitable host. Mizuki fed off of Bizuki's
hightened spiritual senses, and took over her body. She
was then sealed into a mountain hundreds of years later by several puppets and
monks to gather her power.
Thirty years
before Samurai Shodown II begins, she has a brief encounter with Nicotine
Caffeine and Kuroko. She was
awakened by
Amakusa's
dark powers and plots to
destroy the world, and soon invoked Ambrosia's mortal resurrection. To aid her
work, she also hired a band of henchmen which includes Earthquake,
Gen-an, and Genjuro
(though he eventually betrays her due to lack of interest). Haohmaru
and Nakoruru,
whom had successfully survived the trip to Hell, stop her plans from
succeeding. Upon her defeat, Mizuki and Ambrosia were sealed in the Makai
(demon world).
