Spoiler Alert! (Details found only in the Kirigiri Novel will be revealed below)
He was born in Japan and was the third son in his family. At the earliest known stage of his life, he became a detective and his drive to pursue justice in the world led him to where he is now.
At some point, he met Kyoko Kirigiri's grandfather, Fuhito Kirigiri, and partnered up with him when he was working with a group of similarly young detectives. As time passed and they grew older, both of them created the Detective Library, an organization meant to get the public toward the detective of their choice in an unbiased manner.Danganronpa Kirigiri; Vol. 3, Chapter 1: The Boy and the Count However, Fuhito would disapprove of the DSC system, and thus, refuse to register himself in the Library. Meanwhile, Mikado became one of the Library's Triple Zeroes after his hard work.
Fuhito considered him to be the heir to the Kirigiri since there was no available heir at the time. However, once Kyoko was born, the title of the heir would then be passed onto her. Mikado, who was displeased at the situation, would eventually break off his partnership with Fuhito and disappeared. He would also erase his name and existence from the history of the Library.
When he disappeared, he founded the Victims Catharsis Committee (VCC), a group that aims to provide crime victims a chance to reclaim their lives through a Duel Noir, in which the victim kills the perpetrator of their suffering while attempting to outwit the detective who would be sent to stop them.
Gekka Ryuuzouji, who shared his worldview, and Johnny Arp, who joined for the thrill, were the other Triple Zero detectives that he sought out for their intelligence and detective skills, which are useful for assassinations. His influence brought him a sizable number of supporters who fund such events in return for being allowed to watch them, as well as employees in various parts of organizations (such as the police) who allowed them to carry out their duties without interference or allowed them to scout potential Duel Noirs participants. In addition to providing catharsis, he also desired to become the world's top detective and discover more about the impending disaster (The Tragedy) that he perceived.

And he also saw that Kyoko had the potential to save humanity from said impending doom)

Genius normally, Extraordinary Genius in the detective field, he is easily one of the most intelligent characters in the series and is one of the few characters with monstrous analytical capabilities. The Detective Library was established 15 years before the events of Danganronpa Kirigiri,Danganronpa Kirigiri; Vol. 3, Chapter 1: The Young Boy and the Count and within those 15 years, he's one of the only few 000-class detectives along with some other experienced adults at around their 30's and above. 00-class or double-zero-class detectives are already famous and have mastered over a wide range of varying topics in a particular branch. And he's a 000-class or a triple-zero-class detective.
The Detective Shelf Collection (DSC) has a classification system used by the Detective Library where detectives are assigned an ID card with three numbers, which indicate their specialty and rank. The first number represents their primary field of expertise, ranging from 0 (all types of cases) to 9 (homicide cases). Each category covers specific types of crime, such as religious crime (1), political crime (2), white-collar crime (3), wildlife crime (4), cybercrime (5), public-order crime (6), art crime (7), human rights abuses (8), and homicide (9). The second number provides further detail about their specialty, and the last number indicates their rank within that field.Danganronpa Kirigiri; Vol. 1; Chapter 4: Duel Noir 2 (DSC: Detective Library Classification) He is a triple-zero-class detective, in which there are only four triple-zero-class detectives in the world and they are at the top of the detective field and have complete mastery over all range of topics in the detective field.
He became a detective at just ten years old and founded the Detective Shelf Collection with the help of Fuhito Kirigiri, which had approximately ~65,500 detectives. In the detective field, he should have one of the best "powers of observation" and should be superior to Kou Inuzuka (DSC 943), who is capable of analysing a person's actions in the past. He would eventually surpass everyone, work his way to the top, and become one of the best detectives in the world. He should be comparable to the likes of Licorne, Gekka Ryuuzouji, and Johnny Arp, who are all triple-zero detectives. He should also be at the level of Fuhito Kirigiri, who's known for being part of a long and famous lineage of detectives.
Through sheer mental calculation and analytical prediction, he can predict a person's fate and death; just by walking down the street, and even analyse their potential. He can also increase his analytical capabilities, and make them grow better by gaining more data from the past, which he describes is similar to weather forecasting. He can also sense impending doom in general, and see death itself. He has accumulated so much data and improved his analytical prowess to the point that it enabled him to sense the Tragedy, which happens 6 years into the future. He outright stated that he can predict the future, and that it would be hard for other people who can't predict the future, like Yui Samidare, to understand him and his actions.
He is also described as the Master of Illusion and Disguises because nobody has seen the true form of "The Variationist". And he is so good at disguises, that he was able to disguise himself as Kyoko's maternal grandfather without getting noticed for a long period of time. His techniques as the Master of Illusion were often identified to be actual techniques used by magicians and illusionists. He is also capable of mimicking Uzuchi's fighting style who's proficient in Karate, Kendo, Judo, Kyuudou, Aikido, Iai, and Naginata. He should also be multilingual as the Variationist, and as a triple-zero-class detective.
