The title of the Mizukage was first established back when Kirigakure was formed and created by Byakuren, the village's founder.

Throughout the years, the Mizukage was the sole individual that influenced all political and military issues that came up throughout the village. However, it wasn't until the reign of the Third Mizukage, Suijin, where he decided to make discussions more open to the public even including a suggestions box on ways he could help improve the village. He even allowed those in a high position that were close to him make decisions if Suijin himself wasn't present. However, due to the actions of Chiizu Jigoku who was Suijin's second-in-command leading to the Jigoku Clan Incident causing many to die due to his reckless actions, Suijin was forced to amend his law and now make it so that only the Mizukage can handle very important decisions.
