Mizuki "The Marauding Deity" Rashojin (羅将神ミヅキ) is a video game character in the Samurai Shodown series. She is the first female boss in the series.

[edit] History

[edit] Samurai Shodown II

Mizuki was a typical Japanese child who was born into a life of poverty. Because of the family's lack of resources and food, they abandoned her in the forest. Bitter with hatred and consumed with revenge, she made a pact with the evil god Ambrosia roughly a thousand years ago and transmogrified herself into a demon. Since this acquisition of demonic power, she proceeded to cause worldwide disasters and calamities around the Earth.

However, roughly 200 years later, she was challenged by a priestess named Bizuki. She defeated her, and due to her undead status, Mizuki took over her body and went into a long sleep to restore her power. Not long after, she was awakened by Amakusa's dark powers to destroy the world and invoke her resurrection. However, her plans were finally stopped by Haohmaru and Nakoruru. She has since been sealed into Makai (the demon world) after her defeat.

[edit] Trivia

She owns a pet dog named Haon, whom occasionally morphs into a demon.
In Kyoshiro Senryo's ending in Samurai Shodown II, he freed Bizuki from Mizuki's control.
One of Mizuki's special attacks involves turning the player's character into a small, defenseless, pig. Interestingly enough, the best way for a player to survive until this condition wears off is to hide right under her dress!
Mizuki bears more than a passing resemblence to fellow SNK shinto priestess (and boss of another series), Chizuru Kagura.
