Movie
Description
Mizuki Kanzaki started as a child fashion model in elementary school before taking a year-long break due to perfectionism and stress, nearly leaving the entertainment world. This hiatus ended when she discovered the legendary idol unit Masquerade; their performance ignited her passion for becoming an idol. She relentlessly pursued training from their choreographer, Johnny Bepp, who taught her to express herself fully and maintain authentic smiles, forming her core idol skills.
At Starlight Academy, Mizuki rose as the undisputed top idol, earning the title Starlight Queen through consistent victories. Her intense work ethic often remained unseen, leading many to view her as a natural talent. She launched the fashion brand Love Queen, later evolving it into Love Moonrise to mirror her personal style and growth. Her performances set unmatched records, including achieving four Special Appeals in one show—surpassing the typical three-cap—cementing her legendary status.
During her academy years, Mizuki formed the unit Tristar, initially with Kaede Ichinose and Ran Shibuki. After Ran joined Soleil, Yurika Tōdō replaced her. Tristar later merged with Soleil and most of Powapowa-Puririn to create the temporary summer unit STAR☆ANIS. Despite her success, Mizuki left Starlight Academy after Season 1 to become a backstage advisor and tech consultant at rival Dream Academy, seeking new challenges beyond performing.
Mizuki returned to active idolhood in Episode 75, founding her agency, Moonlight Office, and launching the duo WM with gardener Mikuru Natsuki. Their partnership embodied complementary opposites: Mizuki's calm professionalism ("moon") contrasted Mikuru's energetic spontaneity ("miracle"). WM emphasized deep compatibility, sharing synchronized auras and coord outfits. Mizuki credited Mikuru with reigniting her passion during isolation, making her happier and more relaxed. The unit competed in Aikatsu8, a fan-voted group of top idols from various schools and agencies.
Driven to surpass Masquerade, Mizuki established the Twinkle Star Cup through WM, aiming to cultivate a rival unit strong enough to challenge them. This initiative led to 2wingS (Ichigo and Seira). Though WM lost to 2wingS in Episode 100, Mizuki achieved her goal of becoming a legendary idol, matching Masquerade's legacy. Having fulfilled her aspirations, she announced her retirement. Her departure motivated Ichigo to claim the top Aikatsu ranking soon after.
In *Aikatsu! 10th Story ~Starway to the Future~*, Mizuki appears post-retirement, attending Ichigo's live performances and offering quiet support during career discussions involving Ichigo, Aoi, and Ran.
Mizuki has grape-colored eyes and long matching hair, usually accessorized with an ice-blue and white striped headband. Her personality blends elegance, confidence, and professionalism, gradually revealing warmer, approachable traits through bonds like her friendship with Mikuru. She enjoys marron glacés and fragrant teas, with hobbies ranging from bungee jumping to mall shopping.
Her name holds symbolism: "Kanzaki" (神崎) incorporates "god" (神), reflecting her unmatched idol status, while "Mizuki" (美月) means "beautiful moon," signifying her luminous yet initially distant presence—a theme later softened through partnerships and mentorship.
