==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Nexus===
Mizuo Nonomiya is a member of the Memory Police and is often assigned tasks to observe target subjects. In a past mission, she assisted a young girl named Riko Yamamura in erasing memories of her parents being killed by the Space Beast Nosferu. However, due to a mistake, she inadvertently erased all of Riko's memories, including her name, leaving only the traumatic memory of the Space Beast attack.
This incident weighs heavily on her, filling her with guilt and worry. As a result, when she erases memories of target subjects in subsequent missions, she silently prays for them in her heart, hoping they will never again be tormented by nightmares. This conflicting emotion leaves her feeling confused about her role as a member of the Memory Police.

During her first appearance in the series, she and her direct superior, Saya Shuto, were scouring the area where the NR had previously battled Space Beasts, searching for witnesses to erase memories. However, she spotted Ren Senjyu alone in one area and realized that he was not within the range of her surveillance targets, which puzzled Mizuo. Despite this, she still left the scene. However, at that moment, Ren sensed the events of the Space Beast incident through his special ability. When he saw Mizuo praying for the witnesses in a gentle manner, he took notice of Mizuo's presence. 
Under the orders of Shuto and Yoichiro Matsunaga, Mizuo was soon tasked with monitoring Ren's actions, although the reason remained unclear. When she went to the amusement park for surveillance, Ren quickly spotted her. However, Ren attempted to interact with her in a friendly and cheerful manner, which made her feel awkward. Moreover, when Ren directly mentioned whether she prayed for those whose memories were erased, Mizuo began to question Ren's existence. At the same time, she also realized that she was not the only one monitoring Ren.
Due to her own negligence, Mizuo had considered quitting her mission, but Matsunaga foresaw this and requested that Mizuo continue to monitor Ren. Over time, Mizuo continued to interact with Ren, and their communication deepened. However, as Ren's cheerful influence affected her, she began to develop an interest in him, even developing feelings for him.
During an observation mission, when Ren and NR member Kazuki Komon met with her at a restaurant, Mizuo revealed that someone else was observing Ren. Subsequently, she pursued the individual and engaged in a battle, but she was injured in the process, allowing the person to escape. Later that night, Takashi Ojiro found a memory chip left behind by the individual and returned it to her after the party ended.
That night, Mizuo and Komon investigated the chip together and were shocked to find that all the data on the chip was related to Ren's personal file. This revelation led them to discover the existence of a code-named "Raphael Antidote". Following this incident, Mizuo and Komon became allies in protecting Ren. Despite their differing positions, they joined forces to unravel the mysteries surrounding the Raphael Antidote and Ren. Mizuo often collaborated with Komon even on matters unrelated to Ren, but she still held a special concern for Ren, hoping to find more ways to protect him.
When Shinya Mizorogi escaped from the TLT base, Mizuo unexpectedly became his hostage and was taken away. Upon discovering Mizorogi's injuries, instead of fleeing, she decided to help him with his treatment, referring to herself as merely a hostage, which prompted Mizorogi to comment that she was a peculiar person. During their conversation, they mentioned Riko again, allowing Mizuo to learn Mizorogi's motive for escaping TLT, which was to apologize to the injured Riko.
The next day, as they walked through the forest, Nagi and Komon discovered them. Mizuo attempted to explain the situation regarding Mizorogi, but Nagi ignored her. Mizorogi then pushed her towards Nagi and attempted to shoot Komon. Just as Mizorogi surrendered, she witnessed Hiroyuki Misawa shooting Mizorogi and transforming into Dark Mephisto Zwei. She was subsequently protected by Nagi and escaped from Dark Mephisto Zwei, witnessing the confrontation between Ultraman and Dark Mephisto Zwei.
One day, when a girl named Hazuki Matsunaga invited Ren out on a date, Mizuo secretly followed Ren and Hazuki, even though there were no specific orders. Although she had some doubts about her actions, thinking "this isn't stalking," she ended up trailing them for the entire day. She was later discovered by Hazuki while hiding in the bushes. Hazuki then brought her to meet Ren, and upon hearing Ren's conversation with Hazuki, Mizuo realized that Ren's romantic interest was herself, thus dispelling the misunderstanding. It was also due to Hazuki's actions that Mizuo finally became aware of her feelings for Ren.
However, while they were having a harmonious conversation, Mega Flash suddenly attacked them. At Ren's request, she helped Hazuki and the city residents escape from Mega Flash and was saved by Ultraman in the midst of the crisis.
When she reunited with Ren again, she decided to help and take care of him. When Ren mentioned wanting something to drink, she went to a nearby store to buy water. But when she returned, she discovered Ren's true identity as Ultraman and witnessed his transformation. 
After the battle, Ren fell into a coma. When she rushed to his location, she witnessed TLT personnel forcibly taking Ren to the base for experiments. Matsunaga informed her that her mission was over. In order to save Ren, she quickly contacted Komon and reported Ren's situation. Orders from higher-ups caused Mizuo to start distrusting the organization.
When NR successfully escaped from the base with Ren, she was able to reunite with him. Komon informed her about Ren's condition reaching a critical point, even risking his life, and the truth about the Raphael Antidote. Ren also confessed and shared his past with her. However, despite everything, Mizuo's feelings for Ren remained unchanged. She later witnessed the final battle between Ren and Mega Flash and revived Galberos. 
After the battle ended, Mizuo continued to take care of the exhausted Ren. She confessed her feelings to Ren, admitting that she had developed feelings for him. During their casual conversation, she inadvertently told Ren about the Memoraser function. When Ren attempted to use the Memoraser to erase her memories of him, she immediately stopped him and burst into tears. This awakened Ren to the realization that he should not act without considering the feelings of those who care about him.
Upon learning that the Raphael Antidote was completed, she informed Ren of the need to go to the hospital. However, at that moment, Izmael appeared in the city center. Ren told Yu Kirasawa, Komon, and her that he would fight until the very end, promising Mizuo that he would come back.
In the end, Mizuo witnessed Ren's final battle. When Ren survived the battle against Izmael, she accompanied the exhausted Ren to the hospital to administer the Raphael Antidote. Before leaving by car, she thanked all the members of NR for everything they had done for Ren.
