==Biography==
Rain grew up in the space colony of Neo Japan with her father, and her childhood friend Domon Kasshu. Before the Gundam Fight began, Rain had a relationship with Saette Gyuzelle, who would late become the Gundam Fighter for Neo Turkey. While her father wanted her to study to become a doctor, however, when the Gundam Fight began and Domon was chosen to represent Neo Japan, Rain joined Domon as the mechanic for his Gundam, the Shining Gundam. They first began to look for Domon's older brother Kyoji. When they landed in Neo Italy, she first comes to help Domon get out of jail after he was arrested by a police officer who hates Gundam Fighters for the destruction they caused on Earth. After defeated Nero Gundam and its Fighter in Michelo Chariot, they arrived in the other places where Domon believed Kyoji had been, where they become close friends with each of those country and colony's Gundam Fighters, Chibodee Crocket from Neo America, Sai Saici from Neo China, George de Sand from Neo France, and Argo Gulskii from Neo Russia.
After they failed to find Kyoji, they both returned to Japan for brief time, then Rain continued to travel around the world with Domon as he continued to participate in the Gundam Fight against the respective Gundam Fighters of their nation's space colonies, including Saette Gyuzelle, who was infected by the DG Cells of the Devil Gundam until Doman defeated him a Gundam Fight, then Rain cured him. When Doman was on sent on rescue mission without the Shining Gundam, Rain was shown to be capable of piloting a Gundam herself until Domon returned.
When they arrived in Tokyo, in the Shinjuku district, they were attacked by mobile suits that made up the Devil Army, forces loyal to the Devil Gundam. It is there that Rain and Domon are reunited with Domon's former mentor, Master Asia, the Undefeated of the East. After Domon and Asia are able to fight off an attack by the Devil Army, Rain later notices Master Asia descend into the old subway. Following him, she is entranced and lured into a room where she finds pods full of DG Cell infected zombies serving as the pilots for the Devil Army, along with some containing the support crews for Domon's fellow Gundam Fighters, including the Chibodee Gals, Raymond Bishop, Zuizen and Keiun, and Nastasha Zabigov. Rain frees them before they can ever be infected with DG Cells as well, and they return to the surface to find Domon facing Master Asia in the Master Gundam, along with the DG Cell infected Chibodee, Sai Saici, George, and Argo. Luckily for Domon, the Shuffle Alliance, Master Asia's former colleagues, led by de facto leader, Black Joker Tris Surgeyrev, arrive and force Master Asia and the infected fighters to retreat for now. It is later that Tris and the others give up their lives to purge Argo and the others of their infections, passing their Shuffle Crests and duties as the Shuffle Alliance onto them to aid Domon against Master Asia and the Devil Gundam. Despite all this, when the Devil Gundam resurfaces, Domon is unable to attack his brother Kyoji in the cockpit, and allows the Devil Gundam to recover and escape, along with Master Asia.
Rain travels to the Guiana Highlands in South America with Domon to train there as the finals of the Gundam Fight in Neo Hong Kong approach. However, Domon and his fellow Shuffle Alliance members are attacked by the Devil Gundam and Devil Army during their training. At one point, with Domon too far away to summon Shining Gundam, Rain dawns her own Mobile Trace suit again to pilot it to Domon herself, aided by the other Shuffle Alliance members, but is knocked out when the Devil Army overwhelm her, and Domon entrusts her to Argo and Nastasha to take to Neo Hong Kong for him. However, when the Shining Gundam is damaged by Master Asia, and Neo Japan sends Domon its replacement in the God Gundam (Burning Gundam in the English dub), Rain is able to mentally transfer the combat data from the Shining Gundam to the God Gundam, allowing Domon easy activation and getting used to it, allowing him to defeat Master Asia and the Devil Gundam, and still make the finals in Neo Hong Kong seconds before he would have been disqualified.
Rain remains by Domon's side during his various battles in the finals, until they meet Neo Sweden's Allenby Beardsley, causing some conflict between Rain and Domon. As a result, when Domon entrusts Rain to watch over Allenby, when Allenby is kidnapped by Prime Minister Wong Yun Fat to be infected with DG Cells, Domon is furious with her. As a result, Rain resigns from the Neo Japan team, and instead sides with Domon's surrogate teacher in Neo Germany's Schwarz Bruder, even appearing in a female version of Schwarz' casual wear of a trench coat, scarf, gloves, and mask painted in the colors of the German flag. During Domon's fight with Schwarz, Domon is unable to use the Sekiya Tenkyoken due to damaged circuits. He also repeatedly professed he did not need anyone and fought alone. It is only through Schwarz nearly overwhelming him and scolding him for his lone wolf behavior at the moment, that Domon realizes his error, and remembers he has the Shuffle Alliance and Rain for support. Rain also takes off her Neo Germany mask and tells Domon how to repair the God Gundam. Thanks to her aid, Domon fixes the God Gundam, and is able to use his finisher on Schwarz moments before the time bombs Wong rigged the arena with detonated. Rain and the others fear Schwarz and Domon perished in the combined explosions, but the smoke and flames clear to show Domon and the God Gundam unharmed, and victorious. Rain reunites with Domon and apologizes for her defection, and both are shocked when Schwarz is unmasked by paramedics and revealed to be Domon's brother, Kyoji.
However, Schwarz later explains to Rain that he is really a DG Cell android clone of Kyoji, created over the deceased corpse of the original Schwarz with Kyoji's last ounces of free will before the Devil Gundam overtook him, and his own body was growing weaker from being the Devil Gundam Life Core Unit. After he leaves to help Domon on Lantau Island, Rain, motivated by Schwarz/Kyoji, suits up to pilot the Rising Gundam to help Domon, arriving to fight Allenby, now in a berserker state and infected with DG Cells, piloting the Walter Gundam, one of the Devil Gundam's Four Heavenly Kings. Rain manages to overpower and defeat Allenby, knocking her out, but not without being injured herself. It is then that her father arrives and reveals the truth regarding the Devil Gundam, and his part in betraying Domon's family to the Neo Japan military, arriving with Major Ulube to arrest them, leading to the death of Domon's mother, his father being cryogenically frozen, and Kyoji fleeing to Earth with what was then named the Ultimate Gundam, before its programming became corrupted and turned it into the Devil Gundam.
Feeling that her father's sins were now her own as well as the Mikamura family name was tarnished, Rain returned to the Neo Japan colony with her father, only to be betrayed by Ulube, who had recovered the remains of the Devil Gundam after Domon mercy killed Schwarz and Kyoji to destroy it, and learned from Wong's notes that a female pilot would bring out the Devil Gundam's true power, and Rain would be that sacrifice. Her father tries to protect her, but is mortally wounded by Ulube in the process. Rain is then captured and sacrificed to the Devil Gundam, who takes her into its cockpit, strips her of her clothes, and encases her in a silver-like coating to imprison her inside of it, allowing it to reach its full power and turn the Neo Japan colony into the Colony Devil Gundam.
As Domon, his Shuffle Alliance allies, Allenby, Kyral, and other Gundam Fighters and Mobile Suits arrive to help, after Domon and his Shuffle Alliance teammates take down Ulube and the Grand Master Gundam, Domon heads further in to find Rain, even as in his dying breaths, Ulube warns Domon that is it futile: Either the Devil Gundam will destroy them all, or Domon will have to kill Rain to end the Devil Gundam's threat.
Upon reaching Rain, Domon finds her trying to push him away, fearing he hates her for what her father did to his family and wanting to keep her distance from him at any cost, with the Devil Gundam following her wishes with assaulting Domon to keep him away from her. Encouraged by Allenby and the Shuffle Alliance, Domon assures Rain he bears no ill will towards her for her father's sins against the Kasshus, and professes his love to her. Hearing his profession of love, Rain is able to shatter the silver-like coating covering her, freeing her, and the Devil Gundam is forced to spit her out, no longer able to feed on her negative emotions now that she was so full of joy and happiness after Domon professed his love for her. As she flies towards Domon and the God Gundam, he meets her midway and wraps her in his cape, which transforms into a new dress for her, before they return to the God Gundam together, while the Devil Gundam, having descended into a feral state after losing Rain, grunts and groans as it tries to take her back. Deciding it was time to end it once and for all, Rain and Domon combine their power into the Bakunetsu God Finger Sekiya Love-Love Tenkyoken (Erupting Burning Finger Sekiya Love-Love Tenkyoken in the English dub) attack, piercing clean through the Devil Gundam, leaving a heart-shaped hole right through it, that proves to be the killing blow, causing the Devil Gundam to implode, leaving only a gutted skeletal remain behind as a permanent reminder of the threat it once posed.
Domon and Rain safely escape aboard Master Asia's trusted steed Fuunsaiki, who was now Domon's property as a final gift from his late mentor, and together with the other Gundam Fighters, return to Earth, seeing what the future has for them in the next four years before the next Gundam Fight.
