## History

The son of the Taimanin Kuroki clan, he became the clan's chief and joined Nisha Gaiza and his Nisha Ninja Troops. Like others, he has been in exile from Gosha Village after the revolt of the troops and wishes to prove his value. His father was a friend with Library and served under Fuuma Danjo, together with the grandfather of Onigumo Saburo.

One day, Shizuku disappeared from the Ninja troop and rushed to Gosha Village. Both Onigumo Saburo and Gaku Shounosuke were sent out to recover or kill him, with Saburo engaging in fights with Gosha Taimanin.

Shizuku got lost before reaching the village, finding him at Mizuki Mansion and was confronted by Library that guarded the village. Fighting their way through the forest, he was reunited with Saburo and explained he wished to kill Fuuma Kotaro, to prove his value to the group. Much to the dislike of Saburo, that just wanted to go home. Using the fight between Library and Saburo to escape and search more for Kotaro, not even Shounosuke could not stop Shizuku and just recovered Saburo that was defeated at that point.

Confronted once more by Library, he used his ability to enrage the beasts in the forest, but even that did not help him, and he was defeated. However, before Library could finish him off one of, a last beast that was left over gave Shizuku an opportunity to escape.

Shizuku accepted his defeat and swore he would return another day after becoming stronger to defeat the "Mechanical Uncle" Library.

Shizuku appears in Mist Train Girls as an event boss. Igawa Asagi gave Fuuma Kotaro and the Independent Rangers a mission to capture Shizuku. Shizuku was in the middle of fighting Kotaro's Independent Rangers when all of them were transported to the universe of Iris Cloud. Shizuku's goal was to steal the Mist Train's power source to empower the Nisha clan, then find a way back. After destroying several towns single-handedly, and a few showdowns with the Special Steel Squad and the Independent Rangers, Shizuku was eventually defeated and arrested by the Nishiki Army. The Rangers decided to send him back to the Taimanin home world once Iris Cloud's otherworld Gate is reactivated.
