Background / History
Mizuki was born in Higashi. Near death during his early life, he was aided by the Seaborn bishop Cicero and transformed into a Seaborn, yet retained what Cicero considered a distinctly human heart. 51 110
Before his amnesia, he traveled widely across Terra and worked in numerous fields, including restaurant work, nursing, journalism, retro-game retail, and entertainment. He was once a highly popular child star, but left the idol industry after becoming disillusioned with it. 51
He later vanished under unexplained circumstances and was found unconscious in a refrigerated Lungmen container that had reportedly held only fruit. His Rhodes Island identification was genuine, but neither the Lungmen office nor the landship had a record of him; the identification indicated elite-operator status. 2
Without his memories, Mizuki joined Penguin Logistics after being offered food and lodging. He found stability among its members while continuing to investigate his identity and connections to Rhodes Island. 3 12
Appearance
Mizuki is a blue-haired young man whose gentle appearance contrasts sharply with his immense vitality and Seaborn nature. His body can shift into increasingly inhuman forms as his link to the Sea of Life deepens. 23 24 115
- Clear sea-blue hair with pink gradients at the ends. 23
- Soft, smooth skin described as resembling tofu pudding. 2
- Often wears a blue soft cap. 131
- Has an “all-blue” appearance that makes him conspicuous in a crowd. 72
- In his “Deep Blue” state, his hair becomes white branches and even his clothing is gradually assimilated into a pure-white form. 115
- His living hair can curl around another person's fingers. 163
Personality
Mizuki is usually calm, gentle, and adaptable despite his missing memories and the danger surrounding him. Amiya perceives his thoughts as unusually pure, focused, and supported by an unwavering sense of self. 2 48
He enjoys simple comforts—cooking, games, food, and time with people he loves—and does not seek dominion over Terra despite possessing the potential to overturn its existing order. His principal motivation is protecting those close to him. 117 141
His kindness is tempered by a mischievous and occasionally ruthless streak. He can use his abilities in unsettlingly practical ways, and the Doctor considers his harmless appearance misleading. 104 150
Abilities & Skills
Seaborn Physiology and Adaptive Evolution
Mizuki possesses extraordinary vitality, recovery, durability, and adaptability.
- Kal'tsit estimates his vitality at a minimum of one billion when an ordinary person's is measured as one hundred. 24

Tentacles
Mizuki manifests tentacles linked to the Sea of Life, which function as extensions of his senses and body.
- They can restrain opponents, manipulate objects, perform household tasks, and assist him in combat. 30 39

- Some individuals cannot see them, while others can perceive or directly interact with their material projections. 86 94
- Their spikes can administer precisely controlled venom for treatment. 46
Consciousness and Sensory Manipulation
Rather than relying solely on conventional Arts, Mizuki biologically interferes with neural perception.
- He can distort sight, hearing, touch, and other senses to create illusions. 112
- His influence can affect consciousness over a large area. 6
- With the Sea of Life's support, he can link multiple minds while concealing the interference from his targets. 128
- He can use atomized neurotoxin to induce sleep. 104
- Rain carrying his toxins can threaten large groups while his mental control disrupts their senses. 70
Sea of Life and Seaborn Brood
Mizuki is deeply connected to the Sea of Life, a consciousness-dimension shared by versions of Mizuki across parallel worlds.
- The Sea of Life exists independently of ordinary space-time and allows multiple Mizukis to connect across timelines. 104
- The Seaborn Brood draws upon his collective processing power, especially when he plays games or fights. 23
- His presence and the Sea of Life's influence allow the Brood to evolve, including developing resistance to Demons' corruption. 77
- He can control weather, create localized Great Silences, and sense activity across rainfall. 127 168
- His distributed descendants can inhabit organisms or objects ranging from large beasts to microscopic bacteria. 158
Healing and Originium Suppression
Mizuki can transfer vitality and use controlled toxins to treat severe injuries and Oripathy.
- His venom and vitality promote muscular and nerve recovery when administered in minute doses. 46
- He has treated Oripathy patients since his time with Reunion, including cases as severe as Patriot's. 105
- He can remove Originium crystals and suppress Originium activity without becoming infected himself. 93
- Treatments for Liz and Rosemary require both exact control and Mizuki's immense vitality, making them difficult to reproduce by conventional means. 89
- Medicine derived from his cells can suppress Originium Arts so strongly that users may lose much of their original ability. 173
Continuance of Civilization
A black-and-white crown known as the Continuance of Civilization gradually adapts to Mizuki.
- It allows him to read minds. 131
- Its white portion spreads over time, marked by faint ocean-blue ripples. 131
- The crown supports his ability to contain and process multiple consciousnesses. 139
Combat, Driving, Cooking, and Games
Mizuki combines overwhelming physical ability with unusually broad practical skills.
- He is an exceptionally capable driver despite being arrested for driving without a license on his first day at Penguin Logistics. 6
- His cooking is remembered fondly by former Sarkaz mercenary companions. 14
- He can defeat master-level chess computers and elite fighting-game players by drawing on a fraction of the Brood's processing power. 23 33
- He spars with Nearl at a level that forces her to reassess her own limits. 151
- Even before fully accessing the Sea of Life, he had never lost at games. 180
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Transparent umbrella — His recovered and repaired weapon; it has a harpoon-shaped tip and a black teru teru bozu charm. Holding it triggers fragments of his memories. 12
- Penguin Logistics uniform — Custom-made with increased toughness and defensive capability for dangerous deliveries. 11
- Blue soft cap — His usual headwear, beneath which the Continuance of Civilization crown is visible only from another-dimensional perspectives. 131
Relationships
- Exusiai — Mizuki's girlfriend and eventual certificate-holding spouse. Their relationship begins after his arrival in Lungmen and remains his most visible romantic bond. 12 164
- Skadi — His older sister, who searches inland for him after his disappearance. Their shared dreams reveal a deep emotional connection. 2 24
- Laurentina / Specter — Identifies herself as Mizuki's sister and is assigned to protect him, though her fixation on him and her alternate personality complicate that role. 20 30
- Doctor — A trusted former partner whom Mizuki risks himself to rescue from the Seaborn Brood. His instinctive trust in her far exceeds that which he places in others. 36 49
- Kal'tsit — Rhodes Island physician and ally who recognizes Mizuki's abnormal vitality and later works closely with him on treatment and broader threats. 24 96
- Texas — Penguin Logistics colleague, gaming partner, and close friend; Mizuki particularly values seeing her happy. 24 31
- Muelsyse — A past girlfriend who continues seeking Mizuki after his disappearance and eventually remains within his circle with Exusiai's acceptance. 39 103
- Susie / Goldenglow — His “little sister,” whom he previously aided and taught hairstyling; she states that she is technically older despite calling him her brother. 68
- Cicero — The Seaborn bishop who saved Mizuki's life and transformed him into a Seaborn while recognizing his unusually strong humanity. 51 110
- Alina — A former companion whose life Mizuki saved a year before his reappearance in Lungmen. 14

Iberia and the Sea of Life
Mizuki travels to Iberia for peace talks with the Inquisition while learning more about the Sea of Life, the Seaborn, and his identity as Izumik. His growing control over the Sea of Life alters the balance between the Seaborn, Iberia, and threats from the north. 110 112 115
