## Biography

### Backstory

Originally, Himika, together with her subordinates, Ikima, Amaso, and Mimashi were created by the aliens Takeru and Miyazu where they would conquer and destroys planets together during a galactic war. However, their ship eventually ended up landing on Earth, while Takeru and Miyazu decided to settle down and lives on Earth peacefully, Himika, together with her subordinates, continued their destructive ways on Earth. After failing to convince them to live peacefully, Takeru and Miyazu fought Himika and her force with Baruba, they ultimately sealed Himika and her minions away with the Sakahoko.

However, Himika soon broke the seal, and created a fog that trapped the Zone to make its time to flow much slower than the outside world, her force battled Kostu Jeeg, and Hiroshi sealed them away again at the Zone at the cost of sealing himself away as well.

### *Kotetsushin Jeeg*

After being sealed away by Hiroshi for fifty years, Queen Himika and her subordinates returned, and her presence brought the Haniwa Phantom Gods Magura back, which soon rampaged across the city. Eventually, Kenji, who became the pilot of the Kotetsu Jeeg, combatted and defeated Mangura with Knuckle Bomber. Upon hearing of its defeat, Himika gives a fragment of her power to Ikima, who then gave the power to Mangura as they fought again. This time empowered, Mangura had the upper hand against Kenji until it was destroyed by Spin Storm. Later, Himika would send more Haniwa Phantoms to attack the Build Base, however they are all destroyed by Kenji with the Kotetsu Jeeg.

Eventually, Himika decided to obtain the Bell from the original Jeeg, as a result, she sent Amaso and Mimashi to control the Haniwa Phantom Makara to distract the Kotetsu Jeeg, while Ikima was sent to the center of the Zone to obtain the bell, Ikima succeed and brought the original Jeeg's head, which is also Hiroshi's body back to their hideout. Himika would then keep torturing Hiroshi to give up the bell, but to no avail.

At some point, the Build Base recovered the remains of the original Jeeg, and Tsubaki made contact to it, thus accidentally connecting herself to Himika. With that Himika came up with a plan, as during the battle with the Haniwa Phantom Gebura, Himika sent her subordinates to kidnap Tsubaki, then, Himika performed a ritual to corrupt Tsubaki. However, as Kenji and the Baruba were raiding their base to save her, Himika sent Ikima to control the Banshouaguu to delay Kenji. While Kenji and Baruba defeated it, Tsubaki was already corrupted into taking the Bronze Bells from Kenji and Hiroshi. With that, Himika obtained the two Bronze Bells,and tossed Tsubaki away since she is useless to her now. Just before Himika was able to kill Kenji, Kyo entered the chamber and confronted Himika, who recognized him as Takeru. Then, Himika sent her subordinates to kill Kyo while she used the bells to transform her hideout into the Eight-Headed Serpent, which fired a superheated beam that instantly destroyed the surroundings, including the Build Base. Then, Himika, Ikima and Amaso went to the Moon to obtain the Great Bronze Bell. (Mimashi was killed by Kyo just before he was killed by Ikima)

Despite this, the crew of Build Base survived and tracked Himika down to the Moon, and the force of Build Base and Great Jama Kingdom then battled, with Kenji and Tsubaki entering Himika's base. In there, they entered the Spiritual World, where they came face to face with Himika to reclaim the Bronze Bells. Himika taunted them that the two bronze bells would disappear and they would be no match to her since they didn't have the ability to transform into Jeeg, however, Kenji said that they won't give up. Eventually, Himika, after knocking them on the ground, was annoyed by them and leaves with the Great Bronze Bell. However, after she left, Kenji and Tsubaki reclaimed the Bronze Bells with their emotion power.

Nevertheless, in the Great Bronze Bell, Himika tore apart the dimensions to summon the evil spirits, which were then combined into the Susanoh together with her deceased subordinates which easily defeated both Kenji and Hiroshi. Eventually, Tsubaki found out that the source of the Susanoh's power is from the Great Bronze Bell, and therefore she heads towards it before her vehicle was seemingly destroyed. Believing Tsubaki was killed, Kenji flied into a blind rage and was consumed by Susanoh, further empowering it. Himika then commented how foolish humans are as disaster starts to fall upon Earth, leading to casualties. This further empowers Himika, who was confronted by Tsubaki, telling Himika that feeling is more powerful than curses as she begs Kenji to come back to his senses. Soon, Hiroshi gave his bronze bell to cause Kenji to return to is sense, and with that, together with Baruba, Kenji used the God of Steel Kotetsushin Jeeg to destroy Susanoh and helped Tsubaki to confront Himika for the last time just before Tsubaki was overpowered. With that, Kenji and Tsubaki used the Sakahoko to seal Himika away again, this time in space, ensuring that she would never be able to return again as Kenji and Tsubaki escaped. With that, Himika was finally defeated for good.
