Bio

Making new technology is not an easy thing to do these days. This was apparent with AG-Systems in their early days when they were much more concerned with researching and creating new technology rather than improving on their current ones back in the 2100’s, resulting in their bankruptcy and their acquisition by G-Tech Systems, though the team was reformed years later. Another difficulty was getting the technology though league authorities and regulations, especially with the RIDS controversy being the biggest debacle in recent years, which cost Triakis their 2206 title during the last FX300 season. However, a young girl has made the biggest breakthrough in history creating an invention in 2214, which was used during the JX350 leagues in 2217 after approval of many racing commissioners and league authorities, who became interested in the new technology she created. That girl is none other than Mizuki Nakajima, AG-Systems’ wingman for the ‘Friends in Speed’ Junior Racing Team and the one who made a breakthrough in the world of AG-racing and is also a member of the Miracle Eight.

Mizuki Nakajima was born in the city of Tokyo, Japan. Her family worked in many departments of fashion during her childhood and her family were responsible for designing some of the most popular clothing fashion line that is seen all over Japan today. At the same time however, they were also designing ship blue prints for the FX350, 400, and 500 leagues for AG-Systems, making them large amounts of money in their weekly paychecks. Around the age of five, Mizuki was given lessons on how to design various clothing and immediately impressed her parents by creating a new set of clothing line that became an instant hit across Japan. Throughout her life, Mizuki was told by her family that she is expected to play a role in her life, whatever it is working for AG-Systems or for a fashion company in Japan. She is also expected to continue her family’s tradition and have a family. Around the age of seven, she told them that she plans to be a pilot in the AG-racing leagues after watching many races that appeared on datacast channels.

It was different from making clothing as a completely different mindset was needed to transition from fashion design to AG-pilot and there were many requirements that she had to go through in order to get there. However, she was determined to become a pilot and she passed grade school with high marks and made high place finishes in amateur AG-Kart racing. At the age of 11, she was one of the top students in Japan. But in order for her to get a chance to even race, she needed to find a school specializing in AG-racing. She eventually hears about a new school that opened up in Tokyo called the Good Smile Racing Academy, which specializes in teaching the students the art of AG-racing and conditions them for it as well. Mizuki wasted no time when she got an invite from the academy and she accepted the invitation and traveled to the school.

The GSRA’s standard were higher than normal compared to other schools and many students failed to get a seat in the school. However, Mizuki passed with a ninety percent flat score. While she got a high score, it was clear that she would need help from some new friends to get by with excellent marks. After her initial evaluation, she met new friends in the school, particularly Michael Sanderson, Johnathan Hale, Hitomi Yamaguchi, Ayaka Hamasaki, Sora Akiyama, Eric Patterson, and Alexis Anderson. Just like her friends though, she went through a life changing moment in her life during the second part of the evaluation. Right before the second part of the evaluation began for Mizuki and her friends, the simulator was interrupted by a lightning strike that hit the building that she and her friends were in, resulting in a black out and the eight being locked into the simulator as well as in a coma. Eventually, the simulation was complete when power returned and the eight were taken to the infirmary for a checkup. Despite being in a coma, everyone was okay, except the results and her bio reads. It was unclear how it happened, but the eight, including her, had their bio readings spike off the charts, surprising the doctors. The evaluation results spoke the same words as all eight of them hit unreachable zones and unbearable speeds. What happened to them was anyone’s guess and remains unknown.

As a result, Mizuki’s bio readings were off the charts and her knowledge, strength, dexterity, endurance, and agility were given significant boosts beyond human levels, able to ace the classes and exams that were given to her. She and the others were eventually involved with a collaboration that would gain interests in the AGRC. During their second semester in GSRA, she and her friends collaborated in an invention showcase. Mizuki had a hard time coming up with an idea, until she remembered that she was part of a family that was involved with fashion design. She used her knowledge of fashion design, as well as her friends’ and her own body proportions to create her invention. With her friend, Eric, creating the concepts for two different inventions, and Johnathan, Hitomi, and Alexis creating the key portions of her inventions, with Michael, Ayaka, Sora creating the AG-hover-boards that would work in tangent, Mizuki created her greatest invention that would not only be just for fashion, but for racing as well. Her newest invention became known as the Adaptive Flight Suits. The suit would match the user’s body shape and will adapt to the current environment that the user is currently in. Their invention would go on to be extremely popular throughout the academy, even resulting in a photo of her by a student who gave it a few tweaks. Thanks to this, Mizuki’s popularity skyrocketed and she gained a lot of positive comments all over the web, making her one of the most popular girls of the Good Smile Racing Academy.

During her time at GSRA, Mizuki was also searching for a boy that she can start a family with as part of her family traditions. It was then that she fell in love with the boy of her dreams, Michael Sanderson. Mizuki would do whatever it took to remain by his side, no matter where he went or what happened from there on. However, when the semester came to an end, Mizuki was chosen by Sakura Tanaku to fly for AG-Systems along with Michael Sanderson, Alexis Anderson, and Sora Akiyama, and Jessica Caluroso. She, along with Michael, Alexis, Sora, and Jessica, another friend of hers, were taken to the primary AG-Systems facility in Tokyo, Japan, where she was represented as their pilot for the junior racing team. While she was there, their parents were proud of her that she not only managed to become an AG-racing pilot, she created something that worked beautifully and worked in a racing environment, but also found someone to start a family with.

She was taught by Katsu Sasaki and Thierry Caluroso how to control and fly the AG-Systems ships, as well as how each race worked. She, along with Alexis Anderson, Sora Akiyama, and Jessica Caluroso, were positioned as wingmen after a simulated race to determine who would become the lead pilot for the ‘Friends in Speed’ junior racing team for AG-Systems, with Michael Sanderson winning first place and becoming leader of the junior team. Mizuki is determined to keep her friends, especially Michael, her boyfriend, safe from anyone or anything attempting to harm them. A month before the start of the JX350, she submitted an application for the use of the Adaptive Flight Suits in the racing league. Before long, the suits was approved for use by the Belmondo Foundation and the league authorities, who were impressed and interested in the technology the suit used, especially Natasha Belmondo, the chairwoman of the Belmondo Foundation, as she hope with Mizuki’s help that she can make it a standard for the future racing leagues.

Much like Michael Sanderson, Mizuki also got off to a great start in her racing career, with her time trial run at Vineta K being the most iconic start of them all; with a perfect racing line, all possible speed pads hit, all possible barrel rolls landed, all culminating into a perfect run. She made history as she currently holds the fastest lap time and fastest time trial on Vineta K on Venom speed, not to mention her Zone run on Vineta K Reverse broke many records as well; with the fastest speed, most perfect laps, most laps cleared, most perfect zones, top score, and highest zones cleared. When Michael took the remaining week of Week 5 and Week 6 off, Mizuki volunteered to keep an eye on the other teams as well as their own so that Michael can recover from the Concordia Loop Accident. She was glad that the Adaptive Flight Suits were working their magic, much to her relief.

Mizuki was also one of the tough girls on the track, with her notable weapons use during Eliminator events and, if necessary, Single Race events. After all, she is very protective of her friends. She was also with Michael when he and Maksim of Triakis set their rivalry for the whole season. As a result, she was immediately challenged by secondary pilot of the Boot Camp junior racing team of Triakis, Daphne Summers, and was quick to accept. Mizuki has taken Daphne on from time to time, so it was no surprise that she would be challenged. The following is the conversation that was recorded by the media during this moment:

(Daphne) “Well, there they go. I guess they’ve finally set something official between them.”
(Mizuki) “I guess we now have ourselves an official rivalry between the two boys.”
(Daphne) “Now that you mentioned it, we might as well set our own rivalry so that we won’t get left out of the spotlight.”
(Mizuki) “Guess I can’t just walk away from this huh?”
(Daphne) “That’s definitely a no go. I’ll be keeping you on my radar for the whole season.”
(Mizuki) “And I’ll make sure to keep you entertained throughout the season."
(Daphne) “It’ll be a pleasure to keep you on your toes.”
(Mizuki) “And it’ll be mine to keep you guessing.”

The rivalry between the Friends in Speed and Boot Camp junior teams was set for the remainder of the season and it was an exciting one as a lot of racing fans were pumped up for the newest rivalry of the era. This applied very well during the Flash Series when the race came to Moa Therma where Mizuki made some of the closest and toughest passes throughout the racing league, though Michael Sanderson’s daring passes were always up for debate. Her beautiful passes were not lost on the commentators when she passed by Xiu Bai of EG-X and Daphne Summers of Triakis during the final lap at the prestigious Moa Therma. Their quotes say it all:

(Commentator 1) “We’re on the final lap of the first race at Moa Therma. Daphne take the corner well, but Xiu is able to squeeze past her! We’re now on the Syncro Logistics Dynamo, with Xiu pulling away inch by inch. But Daphne is back on Xiu’s tail. That Anne is proving more than effective on the straights.”
(Commentator 2) “Wait a sec, a group of ships are catching up. And one of them is closing the gap quick.”
(Commentator 1) “You’re right, that’s Mizuki Nakajima in the AG-Systems, with Hitomi of Auricom, Scarlett of Goteki, Alqamar of Mirage, and De Gautet of Van-Uber following her! Bet you didn’t think that they were going to catch up did you?”
(Commentator 2) “Absolutely not, three golds and a silver during the Venom Series, Mizuki means business.”
(Commentator 1) “Daphne has caught up with Xiu and both are now competing for the front. We’re off the mag strip and we just hit the hairpin leading to the chicane series. Both are neck and neck and…Oh, my god – is Mizuki attempting to pass them both?!”
(Commentator 2) “That girl’s crazy, with a gap THAT small, she’ll never pass them…OH MY GOD! She’s through! Mizuki Nakajima of AG-Systems is now in the lead.”
(Commentator 1) “That was a very small window of opportunity to pass and the girl made the pass look beautiful. They’re about to exit the chicane series and enter the mag ridge…Mizuki just dropped a bomb at the exit of the chicane series.”
(Commentator 2) “There’s nowhere for Daphne and Xiu to go as they are quickly coming up to the exit…BAM! The bomb just blew them both off to each side of the track!”
(Commentator 1) “The others are quickly passing them both. Daphne and Xiu just fell behind and now we have Hitomi in second, Scarlett in third, Alqamar in fourth, and De Gautet in fifth. But that’s not what’s gotten our attention right now.”
(Commentator 2) “Mizuki takes the next turn perfectly, and hits the inside speed pad, turns left and…WHOA! She pulled the nose of her ship up and pulled off a successful barrel roll!”
(Commentator 1) “She made that transition look beautifully easy and crosses the line in first place!”
(Commentator 2) “What a way to come from behind to take the win! Ladies and gentleman, we have our winner of our first race at Moa Therma, Mizuki Nakajima of AG-Systems!”

As a result of the race at Moa Therma, her skills has impressed the professional pilots of the AG-racing league, even impressing Rory Pinewood of Qirex, who has gone on saying that her perfect racing lines and daring attempts to pass other competitors at the right time make her one of the pilots to look out for in the junior racing league. Even her weapons skills were more than enough to impress the Canadian as Mizuki, as well as her boyfriend Michael, have been marked as AG-Systems’ wildcard for Eliminator events. He has also said that Michael and Mizuki are the perfect pair to lead AG-Systems to victory in the first season of the JX350 racing league.

Mizuki was also given another thorn on her side to deal with. While she was competing against Daphne Summers of Triakis, Petia Romanov of Qirex seemed to be a guy who kept sticking his nose in her business. Despite Petia’s frequent attempts to seduce her, Mizuki has told him repeatedly that her heart already belonged to Michael Sanderson, lead pilot of the Friends in Speed junior team and her boyfriend. Despite her attempts to ignore him, Petia has constantly challenged her to win her heart by attempting to beat her in a race. However, his piloting skills were extremely poor and Mizuki was able to beat Petia again and again, though she was still being annoyed by Petia so that he can win her over. This finally reached a peak when Mizuki, along with Alexis, Hitomi, and Ayaka, had just enough of him and decided to kick Petia squarely between his legs and put an end to the pointless rivalry so she can concentrate on her own worthwhile rivalry between her and Summers. This earned her and her friends the respect of Andrea Santiago of Goteki 45, hoping that she can see more of the kid’s tough side.

Like her friends, Mizuki has made friends with the Makanian Amazons, consisting of Hyun Gim, Yin Ruan, and their leader, Scarlett Arekuruu; who put her under physically and mentally intense training to help push her skills and beauty further. She also made friends with Hafiz Nejem and the Raqisas sisters of Mirage’s Junior Team, MAGEC, helping the three pilots with their race strategies and offered advice for their piloting skills, especially to Hafiz for Eliminator events; and finally Mercutian De Gautet of Van-Uber, who approached her for some help with his racing lines and Zone techniques. She has also made friends with two professional pilots of the racing league, particularly Buster Harding of Triakis and Rory Pinewood of Qirex; the former teaching her various martial arts skills alongside her friends and keeping her racing skills refined, and the latter inviting her to private Zone Battle sessions with ‘The Bad Boys’.

Mizuki is also one of the members of the Miracle Eight. She, along with the other girls, became the topic of a debate to see which girl of the group was the most attractive of them all. After a week of debate, Mizuki was the most attractive of them all, with Alexis just right behind her. Some have said the photo of her pose of the GSRA when she showed off her AFS is what sparked her popularity to begin with. Many of the fans are aware that Mizuki has a deep relationship with Michael, the lead pilot of the Friends in Speed Junior Racing team of AG-Systems, and many have helped support the two as they continue their relationship.

Their relationship was soon tested however, when Polina Petrov returned as a member of Tigron Enterprises, who started by targeting the Miracle Eight members, though she failed initially. As a result, she then turned her attention to the other teams, starting with Triakis when she injured Daphne Summers with a missile, which was quickly followed up with rockets during a race. This was only the beginning of Polina’s rampage, which led to the mass eliminations of the other teams two weeks later, the race which was lived in infamy. Mizuki was one of the few pilots who used her ship to get some of the pilots who were injured on that day to the Kyoto University Hospital – she in particular rescued Chizoba Afolayan of Assegai. Many doctors and medic pilots, including chief pilot Joes Peeters himself, thank Mizuki and the Miracle Eight for helping in a desperate time. Polina then returned to targeting the Miracle Eight, starting with Michael and Mizuki and their relationship as well as the other members of the Miracle Eight. However, thanks to the other events, Polina was unable to get her hands on them. During the racing weekends at Ubermall, Mizuki was one of the few pilots to note that Polina was using banned technology to get the upper hand. As a result, she was able to win most Eliminator events, despite the Miracle Eight’s efforts, as well as the other teams contributions. Mizuki began to investigate how the Tigron ship was indestructible and, with Alexis’ and Ayaka’s help, found out that an artificial intelligence is responsible for Tigron ‘indestructible’ ship, restoring shield energy on the Tigron ship overtime, similar to one of Auricom’s old prototype ships of the 2048 era, though the regeneration rate was much more significant. She kept this in mind during the Phantom series. And would eventually use it against Polina and Tigron after discovering a crack in the armor.

Before the Phantom series came about, she and her friends got the other squad mates of the other junior teams together in an undisclosed location in Las Vegas, near the Amphiseum race track, to plan on destroying the ship after Alexis, Ayaka, and Scarlett were able to spot a crack in the armor and a weak point in the AI. After laying out the plans to destroy the ship, each team was able to contribute a hit or two against the Tigron ship during the Phantom Series Tournament before Michael Sanderson landed the final blow on the ship during the last race at Tech De Ra of the Phantom Series Tournament. The other junior members of their teams thanked the Miracle Eight for helping to rid the world of Tigron, especially Mizuki and the Miracle Eight since they were the ones who planned and executed the whole plan to rid of Tigron. Their actions will be remembered amongst the AG community.

After ridding of Tigron from the JX350 league, Mizuki went on with her team and friends to compete in the final tournament of the JX350 league and win the final tournament for AG-Systems. Mizuki has become popular amongst the racing fans as being the most attractive and cutest girl of the Miracle Eight girls and has also earned the title ‘The Girl of Speed and Beauty’ for breaking some of the time trial records at Vineta K, Moa Therma, Ubermall, the Amphiseum, and Tech De Ra and currently holds the fastest laps and Time Trial runs on each track; even going as far as impressing Rachel Vega and Tara Shannon of the professional Auricom racing team when Mizuki broke their records. She and the Miracle Eight have become the most popular and best pilots of the era, and some even say that they can match or even surpass Kel Solaar, the greatest AG-pilot of all time. Mizuki continues to deepen her relationship with Michael and both plan to marry and start a family in the future. Many wondered if this was going to affect their racing career. But as Mizuki has said herself to Float Nation who interviewed her, along with the Miracle Eight and the Makanian Amazons:

(Mizuki) “No human, machine, or technology we have can predict the future ahead of us. Only time will tell if we can achieve our future.”
