Mizuho Ijuin (伊集院 瑞穂 Ijūin Mizuho) is the girlfriend of the late Takeo Aota who turns into a scientist/chemical explosion-themed Hitotsuki called Kagakuki (科学鬼) in Avataro Sentai Donbrothers, possessing a Dynaman Avataro Gear, out of her desire to get her late boyfriend's paintings. She later evolves into Kagakuking (科学鬼ング Kagakukingu).
History[]
After giving the officers the slip, Tsubasa was confronted by Mizuho Ijuin, who has an unusual request to be a criminal and she wants Tsubasa to teach her. She even offers to pay him for lessons, but Tsubasa isn’t interested and off put by this. Mizuho responds by crying out for help to alert the police, so Tsubasa is forced to hear out her request.
They talk over coffee and Tsubasa learns that Mizuho wants to be a “phantom thief“, with her even showing off her custom calling card she plans on leaving at crime scenes and fantasizing her daring capers. Tsubasa rightfully points out what she describes only happens in the movies and on television, a person doing that in the real world will get caught, even pointing to the fact her card has her name on it.
Mizuho finds that fact very interesting, but an irritated Tsubasa says he is innocent of his crimes and not a thief and tries again to leave Mizuho. Disappointed, she produces a megaphone from her purse and loudly announces that a dangerous criminal is in the area, forcing Tsubasa to go along with her plans. She plans on stealing a painting from the collection of the late Takeo Aota, his greatest masterpiece, “Secret”. Tsubasa tries to inquire exactly why she wants it, but Mizuho’s greed and desire surge within her and she becomes a Hitotsuki, Kagakuki. At first, Tsubasa prepares to fight her, but is surprised when Mizuho resists the urge to attack people and stops herself.
She later explains to Tsubasa that Secret was a portrait of her, originally a gift from Takeo, who was her boyfriend. It was the last painting he ever made before he died. Tsubasa understands Mizuho’s feelings but doesn’t condone her stealing it. Mizuho says that she was supposed to get the painting as part of Takeo’s will, but someone broke into his studio and stole it. Tsubasa asks where the painting is now but she doesn’t know and her desire triggers another aura to become Kagakuki but Mizuho surprisingly stops and resists transforming. She gets a notification on her phone that Secret is being put up for auction. She is relieved and thinks she doesn’t have to steal it now, revealing she is actually very rich.
At the auction later that day, both parties attend to obtain the painting. Mizuho bids ¥5 million but Tsubasa fumbles the announcement of said bid. She reminisces about her boyfriend and the love he had for her when modeling for the painting. She snaps out of it when bidding goes past ¥5.5 million and attempts to bid ¥6 million, only for Tsuyoshi to get fired up about bidding and bids ¥6.5 million, much to Yamada’s shock. After remembering more of her time with Takeo, Mizuho bids ¥8 million. Kaito finally makes a bid…of 9 million kibi dango, bewildering everyone in the room.
Mizuho remembers more about Takeo and their relationship together, how her love inspired him and misses on Tsuyoshi aggressively bidding up to ¥12 million until Yamada stops him as if he bids any higher their boss will get angry and fire them both. Tsubasa wonders if he and Mizuho should quit, but she is determined to get her painting and bids ¥50 million. Nobody else has the money to bid higher so she is the winning bid for Secret.
Mizuho soon discovers that the person in possession of Secret was her boyfriend’s assistant, Sano. He flirts with her and then asks for his money, Haruka makes one last attempt to bid…100 million kibi dango, but is ignored and told to stop by Shinichi. Sano soon discovers the money in Mizuho’s bag is nothing but stacks of blank paper as she transforms into Kagakuki and steals the painting, dragging along Tsubasa through an invisible door. Shinichi and Haruka give chase in their Ranger forms but immediately lose them.
Back at Mizuho’s home, the two discover that the painting is a forgery made by Sano. His plan was to con the highest bidder into buying the fake he painted while he kept the real painting. Now knowing who stole her beloved’s last art piece, Mizuho comes up with a plan to get the real painting back.
Later, Kagakuki enters quietly through an invisible door and seemingly takes the painting with ease, only for Shinichi to reveal he was pretending to nap and tries to stop her as Saru Brother, but Tsubasa as Inu Brother kicks him into the couch and the two escape. Shinichi is surprised that his comrade would be an accomplice to a Hitotsuki and informs Haruka that they need to leave. Haruka tries to mumble that she isn’t supposed to move but he removes the balloon from her mouth and she becomes Oni Sister.
Inu Brother assistes Kagakuki in escaping. His Ranger comrades try to stop him, with a shootout between him, Haruka and Shinichi before Taro shows up behind him transforming into Don Momotaro. Tsuyoshi arrives and Taro demands an explanation from Tsubasa. Tsubasa tells Kagakuki to go on ahead and he will create an opportunity to help her get away. He tries to explain that Mizuho can revert back to normal and they just need time. Taro refuses to listen, as a Hitotsuki cannot be left alone to cause chaos. Tsubasa uses his shuriken and Donblaster to keep the others at bay while Kagakuki tries to escape. Shinichi manages to get by when Haruka’s club blocks the shuriken and swipes the painting from Kagakuki, which causes her to have an emotional meltdown and her Hitotsuki destructive impulses overtake her rational self.
Jiro arrives to help, but his Dangerous personality forcefully takes over and becomes Don Torabolt. Getting competitive with Taro, he inadvertently helps him defeat Kagakuki with a combination attack. Kagakuki becomes Kagakuking, Tsubasa realizes now that this could not have been avoided but asks Taro to help save Mizuho, with Don Onitaijin and Toradragonjin forming.
Taro proposes that everyone combines their strength into one. Dangerous Jiro absolutely refuses such a proposal but gets smacked in the face with Don Onitaijin’s fan and told that even rivals must unite their strengths for the greater good. Jiro and Taro connect their Donblaster and Ryukonogeki to activate a super combined robot called Toradora Onitaijin. Riding atop a virtual steed, the team uses a variety of new attacks to weaken Kagakuking and finish her off with their new ultimate attack: The DonBros Fantasia.
Upon being purified, Mizuho has retrieved Secret and has one last thing to do…
She sets up a bonfire and tosses the painting into the flames. Tsubasa wonders why Mizuho did that, with her revealing it was Takeo’s last request: he considered Secret a failure and asked that if he died, Mizuho would destroy it. Tsubasa understands but sees it differently, Takeo loved Mizuho so much that he could not fully capture his expression of those feelings in his art. That overwhelming expression of love is the true “secret” of Takeo himself. Mizuho cries and smiles, saying he was such a fool, she already knew how much he loved her a long time ago.
