Mizuhara Minoru

From Kokorodatabase

Revision as of 23:29, 5 May 2007

Minoru Mizuhara was born to Mizuhara Max and Mariam [in Kokoro, his mother is former Black Soul member Kotoko], being a crossover character from Bakuten Shoot! Beyblade. He is a member of both The Star Six and the Revivals, being defensive for both groups. Growing up, he was the neighbor to Ryou and Roy, though he doesn't remember the former too much other than what Roy told him in stories. Generally, while Minoru tends to be an easy-going boy, he does have his moments where he loses it. Normally, Minoru sticks to the US, and spends most of his time with his beyblading friends these days, as Cafe Mew Mew doesn't hold much interest to him. But who knows; maybe he'll come back one last time.

History

Before Kokoro

Minoru was born to Mizuhara Max and Kotoko, being the older out of two children. From an early age, he and Kin, his younger sister by two years, were exposed to the lifestyle of beybladers. Noru knew the ins and outs of how beyblades were formed, how tournaments worked - if you asked him one of the technical details, he would respond.

Occasionally, Noru would help out in the labs that his father owned. It wasn't too hard, either - just filing and such then.

When he was about six years old, Jishou had just finished a prototype of the Mew Project. Since Shou and Noru's father were good friends, Max let Shou try it out on Noru.

The DNA was actually compatible, but a messup in the results caused Jishou to go back to the drawing board, as he believed that Noru wasn't the right person for the job. Thus, his turtle DNA stayed dormant for quite a while.

It wasn't activated again until Minoru went to Japan to live with his grandparents, bringing his father's old beyblades with him. While he was there, he became part of the Revivals.

The group had their own adventures, but Noru's with the Kokoro group wouldn't begin until he was enrolled in Hoshizen Academy by mistake, as he was thought to be a norm at the time.

From there, he became a part of The Star Six, but didn't pull out because he enjoyed spending time with them.

Kokoro Days

Kokoro Draft Future

Other-Worldly Counterparts

• America Mew Mew: In America Mew Mew, Noru appears as one of Shuugo's classmates. Unlike in Kokoro, Noru is not a mage, despite still being a gijinka, and plays a smaller role. He's more obsessed with beyblading, so he doesn't appear much, if at all. It should be noted that his mother is Mariam in AMM, and not Kotoko.

Personality

Generally, Minoru is pretty easy-going and cheerful. However, he does have a tendency to be somewhat sarcastic - usually around Ryou or someone he fears in order to keep his cool. Otherwise, he tends to be your cheerful, run of the mill American who doesn't know much Japanese (if any).

He's knowledgeable on beyblading, as he is a current world champion, ad well as geology and genetics from helping his scientist father out in his labs, but oddly enough, unless asked, he won't mention much on the subject. It can be assumed that he's also a closet fan of Darkwave.

Minoru doesn't have many weaknesses other than his friends and family. What is his weakness, then? On his right ankle, there's a green shield, and it's clearly not a tatoo. If one asks about it, one can bet that Noru will become more withdrawn and unwilling to join conversation until the subject is dropped.

Lovelife

• Shinga Shikari: Went nowhere. Noru ended up dating Natsumi, though the two have potential for becoming more than friends. It just didn't happen in Kokoro.

• Sumeragi Natsumi: Minoru's current girlfriend. Not much is said about her, as she's a beyblader (and a Renaldi), but it can be implied that the two get along pretty well for pretty obvious reasons.

Mage Information

• Element: Earth and some Water spells

Weapon

• Star Shield: A long green shield topped with another shield, this one shaped like a blue star. As it's a newly acquired weapon, Noru rarely uses it; he can't quite control a shield in battle yet.

• Chronicle Bow: A huge jade green bow. Noru typically uses white arrows with it.

• Draciel D-Merge:

It should be noted that he only uses the first two in mage battles; the last is used within the beyblading world.

Abilities

• Emotion Control: When Noru is extremely angry, his magic becomes extremely powerful. Of course, this occasionally has a price: his magic can become unstable if his anger increases.

• Stacked Stones: [can also be used in battle] Noru can use the earth as his personal stepping stones (in essence, this means that he can make the earth rise and catch him, and the earth moves with him so that he can walk down normally).

Signature Attacks

• Force Field: Using either the ground in front of him or his own energy, Noru can create a sphere-shaped barrier around him for a short amount of time. While he can negate attacks with it, he can also bounce attacks back if he uses more energy to create the barrier.

• Earthquake: Using his energy, Noru can create a small earthquake. When his emotions take over, the earthquake's strength is increased; he can't control it on some occasions, either.

• Earth Shatter: Pounding his shield into the ground, Noru can shatter the earth he touches into two.

• Aqua Forcefield: Noru powers up a barrier with water, enabling the water to shoot at the foe if it dares to attack him. [Used only in the beyblading world.]

Unison Attacks

• Changing Earth: A unison attack that combines Shuugo's transformation abilities with Noru's Stacked Stones. Noru performs Stacked Stones, enabling Shuu to transform the towering earth into anything he pleases. During this process, Noru tosses his shield like a discus to hit the foe one last time.

Stats

• Strengths: Defense, Recovery, Focus [When beyblading, substitute Recovery for Endurance]
• Average: Mentality, Speed, Evasion
• Weaknesses: Offense, Technique

Trivia

• Minoru used to be afraid of Ryou. Whether this is still true or not, no one quite knows.
• Yes, Kin was his twin sister at one point, but retconned to be around a year younger because she had enough pairs of twins as it was.
