Mizuho Inada

Mizuho Inada

Mizuho Inada (稲田瑞穂 "Inada Mizuho") is a character in the novel "Battle Royale", and the film and manga of the same name. In the film she was played by Tsuyako Kinoshita.

Mizuho has A-type blood and her height is 158cm.

Pre-Program

Mizuho Inada is one of the class of third-year students at the fictional Shiroiwa Junior High School. She was a good friend of Kaori Minami; the novel also states that she is a good friend of Megumi Eto. Mizuho spent a great deal of her time living in a fantasy world, where she was a warrior named Prexia Dikianne Mizuho, appointed by the God of Light, Ahura Mazda. In the manga, she serves a holy trinity of gods named Scoured Lucien, First Among Equals, Peliphon, Divinity's Gatekeeper, and Meodius of the Overwatch. She believed that Ahura Mazda had sent a message to her via a local fortune teller, to tell her that she was a warrior, and that he resided in a crystal (that was actually glass) Mizuho wore around her neck, which she had bought from a mail-order catalogue. In the manga, her gods speak to her through the voices in her head. Mizuho often had Kaori join in with her game, calling her Lorela Lausasse Kaori. She has an unhealthy obsession with an unnamed fantasy series or game. Her profile in the manga states that she has undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenia and delusions.

During The Program

In the novel, Mizuho managed to survive until very late into the program, but by this point she had started to lose her mind. She believed that her fantasy world was reality, and that Kaori and her other friends had been killed by demons, a.k.a. Kazuo Kiriyama and Mitsuko Souma. The same thing happens in the manga, but she does not state the names of Souma or Kiriyama, she only thinks that her friends Eto and Minami were not as strong as her because they were only "ordinary" warriors of the universe, as said by Ahura Mazda. This again ties in with the fantasy, because, in the novel, Ahura Mazda tells her that she is a survivor of the holy Dikianne tribe, while "Lorela Lausasse Kaori" was a commoner.

In the novel, after witnessing Kazuo kill Mitsuko, Mizuho believed that Ahura Mazda wanted her to kill Kazuo. She crept up on him with her designated weapon, a double-bladed knife (which she imagined to be a great sword), but before she even gets close, Kazuo shoots her in the chest and face, without even turning to look at her.

In the manga, she encounters Shuya after he leaves the lighthouse and tries to kill him, experiencing delusions after he escapes. She later sets up a painstakingly detailed shrine to her god and is killed by Kazuo while worshipping there.

In the film, Mizuho and Kaori stab each other to death after fighting over a life preserver.
