During three seasons with Oita he was named as a deputy captain, but was released at the end of the 2007-08 season. He was then signed by Niigata and spent two seasons with their bj league team.
In June 2010 Mizumachi was signed by the Happinets in the second round of the 2010 expansion draft and has served as captain throughout the club's seven seasons in the bj league. He was one of 12 players to participate in all eleven seasons of the bj league. He has remained with Akita following the team's entry into the B.League in September 2016, but has been replaced as captain by Shigehiro Taguchi. His nickname is "Macho".
His retirement ceremony was held at the Akita Prefectural Gymnasium on April 3, 2019.
