Background

Shizuku originated from Meteor City. Before meeting Jing Yang, she had awakened Nen but had not habitually trained basic techniques such as Gyo or deliberately cultivated her aura reserves. Her ability and total aura instead developed gradually through everyday use. Training alongside Jing Yang drastically accelerated her progress. 31 155

She came to Meteor City searching for someone, but did not find them. At the time, she had no clear future plans. 33

Jing Yang initially watched her from a distance because he suspected she might possess the Spider Tattoo of the Phantom Troupe’s number 8 member. He later learned she was not yet a member during their early encounters. 21 32

Appearance

Shizuku is a black-haired girl who wears glasses and is often seen in a black sweater. Her light purple left eye can be used by Jing Yang through partial possession via her Star Mark. 21 269

  • Carries or conjures the vacuum-cleaner-like Blobfish.
  • Bears Jing Yang’s Star Mark at the root of her left leg. 161
  • Wears an Akatsuki ring, which supports Moon Mark communication. 56 154
  • Later begins transforming into a red fox after exposure to an unknown force and Divine Script. 383

Personality

Shizuku is quiet, curious, direct, and frequently expressionless. Her interest tends to appear suddenly and fade just as quickly; she can forget matters she does not care about with unusual speed. 26 31

Despite this forgetfulness, she is disciplined and loyal. Jing Yang considers her capable of carrying out lethal orders without normal societal hesitation, reflecting her Meteor City upbringing. 26 79

She is practical in dangerous situations. She declines unnecessary risks, avoids killing when it would create trouble, and decisively incapacitates Kurapika when he becomes unstable enough to threaten comrades. 31 176 269

Abilities & Skills

Nen Fundamentals

Shizuku is a Conjurer with substantial Transmutation development. She has trained extensively in Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Ken, Gyo, Ryu, In, and sensory enhancement. 32 42 53 94

  • Uses Gyo to improve sight and analyze aura distribution. 31 53
  • Learns In rapidly, concealing Blobfish from ordinary sight. 94
  • Uses enhanced hearing and Listen to detect approaching enemies. 31 196 269
  • Has solid aura control and close-combat fundamentals despite being less specialized in Enhancement. 32 269

Blobfish

Blobfish is Shizuku’s Conjured vacuum-cleaner-like creature. It can store non-living items and absorb blood, water, moisture, and other suitable targets. 42 97 154 196

  • Stores luggage, supplies, shopping, clothing, and recovered Scarlet Eyes. 54 154 161 200
  • Absorbs moisture from her hair and body after bathing. 221
  • Can drain blood once an opponent’s skin is broken. 97 153
  • Pulls Shizuku through water by absorbing seawater ahead of her. 196
  • Cannot absorb living things or items related to Nen abilities. 244 246
  • Cannot imitate a weapon merely because another user has touched or copied its form; Shizuku insists that Blobfish itself is not a weapon. 153

Chainsaw / Nen Saw Chain

Shizuku transforms aura into rotating, chainsaw-like serrated constructs. Originally developed to wound enemies so Blobfish could drain their blood, it becomes her principal offensive ability. 96 97

  • Can manifest through Blobfish as a spinning chainsaw head. 97
  • Can be projected as chainsaw-shaped aura and used at range. 183
  • Can shred Hisoka’s transmuted gum aura through its genuine cutting property. 216
  • A single chain can reach roughly 12 meters; she can create up to 12 chains with an average length of about 1 meter. 244
  • Its output is extremely destructive, but range and Shizuku’s ability to keep pace with faster opponents limit its effectiveness. 244
  • Improper training can cause the transformed teeth to cut Shizuku herself. 161

Chainsaw Woman

Chainsaw Woman refers to Shizuku’s advanced chainsaw-based Transmutation technique, including autonomous or separately manifested chainsaw constructs. 269 321 358

  • Creates several Chainsaw Women as diversions while infiltrating the Wataru-kō Building. 269
  • Is powerful enough that a Hunter Exam examiner learns to imitate it after seeing it. 321
  • At roughly 50,000 total aura, its cutting force exceeds 20,000 aura and can breach the Ken of an opponent with 200,000 total aura. 358

Star Mark Protection

Jing Yang’s Star Mark grants Shizuku rapid healing and a telepathic connection to him. 50 56

  • Allows recovery from severe cutting injuries, pierced wounds, and potentially fatal self-inflicted training accidents. 153 161
  • Requires Shizuku to reserve aura to protect the mark at the root of her left leg. 161
  • Enables Moon Mark telepathy over long distances, though range limitations can interrupt it. 56 71 269
  • Lets Jing Yang partially possess her left eye to share its vision and provide support. 269

Mobility and Stealth

Shizuku is an extremely fast and capable infiltrator. 269

  • Evades surveillance by moving too quickly for cameras to capture a usable image. 269
  • Uses Chainsaw propellers under her feet together with Blobfish’s suction to double her swimming speed. 196
  • Uses Seventy-Two Transformations through Wu Er to become a small gray bird. 288
  • Avoids direct confrontation when escape and mission completion are more important. 269

Equipment / Items

  • Akatsuki ring — supports Sun and Moon Mark communication and summoning functions. 53 56 330
  • Blobfish — Conjured storage and combat tool. 42
  • Wu Er — the Fanged Moon Tiger can transform into wearable items, including a skirt or belt, and provides access to Seventy-Two Transformations. 247 288
  • Scarlet Eyes — stores recovered pairs inside Blobfish. 154

Relationships

  • Jing Yang — Her boss after losing an arm-wrestling wager; later her trusted partner and boyfriend. They train together, share Moon Mark communication, and confirm their relationship with a kiss on the Ferris wheel. 32 53 71 331
  • Menchi — Training companion and friend. Menchi teaches her Nen basics and later briefly controls her through a Nen ability; Shizuku remains composed throughout. 31 42 276
  • Kurapika — Akatsuki comrade. She knocks him unconscious when his emotions threaten the group, but continues cooperating with him afterward. 86 176 201
  • Biscuit — Mentor-like training companion who evaluates Shizuku’s aptitude and guides her Transmutation development. 219 221 244
  • Wu Er — Allied Fanged Moon Tiger whose transformation ability Shizuku can use. 247 288
  • Camilla — Fellow Akatsuki member. Shizuku bluntly calls Camilla’s demand for the Kakin throne “very foolish.” 330

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment into Akatsuki

Shizuku explores the Fanged Moon Tiger Nature Reserve with Jing Yang and Menchi, learns about Hunter licensing and Nen basics, then challenges Jing Yang for the Blue Moon Pearl. She loses their arm-wrestling match and agrees to recognize him as her boss, becoming Akatsuki’s “Yi,” the second Heavenly Stem. 31 32

Nen Training and Blobfish Development

She trains daily with Jing Yang and Menchi, refining Ren, Ken, Gyo, Ryu, and Blobfish. She develops the vacuum cleaner into a chainsaw-vacuum hybrid, then advances toward independently transmuting chainsaw aura. 42 53 96 97 161

Heaven’s Arena

Shizuku accompanies Jing Yang to Heaven’s Arena but initially avoids formal arena fights because she does not want to reveal Blobfish publicly. She eventually competes in the Mt. Seireitou Tournament, defeating an opponent with a single overwhelming punch while deliberately avoiding a lethal blow. 91 115

Scarlet Eyes Retrieval

Shizuku helps pursue the Scarlet Eyes, fights Simaco=Mette’s bodyguard Qian Apo, and uses Blobfish to sever the woman’s arm and drain half her blood. She later stores a recovered pair of Scarlet Eyes within Blobfish. 153 154

Transmutation Island and Greed Island

Separated from Jing Yang, Shizuku reaches Transmutation Island by using foot-mounted Nen Saw Chains as propellers and Blobfish as a suction aid. She later joins Jing Yang, Kurapika, and Kite in building a raft after the island’s black fog disappears. 196 201

Wataru-kō Building Infiltration

Shizuku infiltrates the Wataru-kō Building at high speed, evades security, and creates Chainsaw Women to misdirect soldiers. When pursued by a Nen user, she allows Jing Yang to use her left eye remotely through the Star Mark. 269

Hunter Exam and Akatsuki Expansion

During the Hunter Exam, Shizuku disappears from her hotel room, later reunites with Jing Yang and warns him that an examiner can imitate abilities such as Chainsaw Woman. She is present when Camilla joins Akatsuki and challenges the prince’s ruthless conditions. 319 321 330

Fox Transformation

Shizuku begins growing red fur and transforming into a red fox near an enormous stele bearing unknown Divine Script. Jing Yang attempts to understand and control the transformation. 383

Trivia

  • Shizuku’s memory is selective: she rapidly forgets matters that do not interest her, yet retains rules and commitments she considers important. 26
  • She is older than Jing Yang. 176 219
  • Her Blobfish ability complements Jing Yang’s Taoist Nun: Blobfish stores non-living objects, while Sleeve of the Universe is designed to store living things. 244
  • She agreed to join a digital world only if she could no longer live in the real world; she did not agree to leave immediately. 354
