Mizuho

is a guest character who appeared in Ultraman Blazar. She is Anri Minami's childhood friend.
==Personality==
Mizuho possesses a direct personality, displaying extreme reverence and enthusiasm towards the guardian deity of the land, "Dorgo." Influenced by her family, she has possessed special abilities since childhood, enabling her to perceive the thoughts and emotions of many living beings. This heightened sensitivity makes her particularly perceptive and empathetic. As a result, she holds deep emotions and is unwilling to witness these precious lives undergo severe destruction or suffering, thereby showcasing her unwavering conviction.
Throughout the process of safeguarding Dorgo, Mizuho consistently maintained a resolute stance, urging everyone to steer clear of causing detrimental consequences. Simultaneously, she showcased her scholarly side, substantiating her perspectives by presenting relevant documents such as historical records, and swiftly proposing solutions.
Furthermore, as a local resident of Akita Prefecture, Mizuho converses with others using the Akita dialect in her everyday interactions.
==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Blazar===
Mizuho hails from the Ichinoji town in Akita Prefecture. She is a descendant of a local shrine family. Since her childhood, she has possessed the ability to hear the voices of various animals, insects, and plants. Among these, a legend of the slumbering guardian deity "Dorgo" has been passed down in Ichinoji town. It is said that while in slumber, Dorgo can enrich the land and purify water sources, hence being revered as the local deity of abundance.
Despite facing ridicule for her unique abilities, her steadfast friend Anri continued to support her. The two of them frequently visited the shrine dedicated to Dorgo on Mount Kirino for worship. However, when Anri moved away from the town during junior high, the two lost contact for a considerable time.
In recent times, due to GGF's local exercises involving their advanced magnetic railgun system "Mega Shot," they completely destroyed the shrine that sealed Dorgo. This destruction was carried out to facilitate the installation of a test electromagnetic cannon and to provide smoother logistics for the supply convoy. Consequently, Dorgo's awakening became imminent, triggering multiple earthquakes in the area.
After hearing Dorgo's voice on numerous occasions and sensing its distress, Mizuho visited the site repeatedly, urging for the exercises to be halted. However, despite her appeals, GGF, after conducting an investigation, concluded that Dorgo was merely an ancient legend. Even after conducting land surveys that indicated no signs of life, GGF persisted in disregarding Mizuho's recommendations.

During a live appeal, Mizuho coincidentally reunited with Anri, who was involved in the exercises. She showed Anri and the members of SKaRD the family heirloom , which recorded the history of Dorgo, revealing all the omens of Dorgo's revival. Despite Anri's strong desire to believe in Mizuho's ideas, due to lack of evidence, she could only prioritize conducting test training for the mission.
However, during the live combat assessment between Earth Garon and the Mega Shot, the continuing exchange of fire led to an explosion that ultimately triggered Dorgo's awakening. Although Dorgo emitted a powerful lightning beam that temporarily incapacitated Earth Garon, it refrained from sustained aggression, only drinking water and returning to slumber. Brainwave analysis revealed that it hadn't entered a deep sleep state and could fully awaken within the next hour.
Mizuho adamantly advocated against killing Dorgo and displayed the preserved sacred object from the original shrine to everyone. She explained that if the sacred object were placed back into the shrine's site, it could potentially lull Dorgo back to slumber. Determined, she resolved to go to the site herself. Despite others' disagreement and attempts to dissuade her, Anri stepped forward and requested to undertake the task. Meanwhile, Emi, stationed at the SKaRD CP, corroborated Mizuho's perspective by verifying the files related to sealing Dorgo from a scientific museum's database.
Ultimately, when Ultraman Blazar appeared to combat Dorgo, Mizuho worried about Anri's safety. In a gap where Blazar subdued Dorgo, Anri successfully inserted the sacred object into the shrine's site, causing Dorgo to slumber once again.
After the matter was concluded, Mizuho and Anri each heard and saw what appeared to be laughter from their childhood and illusions. This was Dorgo's way of expressing gratitude and responding to them. Following GGF's confirmation, if all goes smoothly, Dorgo can continue to slumber for another thousand years. Both of them firmly believe that everything will work out fine, and together, they gaze at the restored Dorgo.
After the incident concluded, GGF conducted several days of monitoring on Dorgo. The conclusion drawn was that its brainwaves were very stable, and it remained in a state of prolonged dormancy. However, the local community still harbored concerns about it. According to a report by Choryu News in June 2023, Mizuho, speaking to reporters who came for interviews, stated, "Dorgo is a guardian deity, so as long as we don't engage in anything too serious, it will remain docile."https://twitter.com/ultraman_series/status/1689208220970266624
Four months later, Mizuho, serving as a representative of the community organization, hosted the local Dorgo Festival. Speaking to reporters who came for interviews, Mizuho expressed, "The purpose of organizing this event is to pray for Dorgo's continued dormancy and the prosperity of the land. We want to express gratitude for Dorgo's dedication to this land and collaboratively promote the development of the region."https://twitter.com/ultraman_series/status/1722177844242186256
