History

Amatsu-Mikaboshi ("August Star of Heaven") is the god of evil and the stars in Japanese mythology. The Amatsu-Mikaboshi is not a physical god, but a dark force that existed before the universe. It is a force that feeds off human emotions and can cause them to turn to their darker sides, degrading love into obsession and jealousy, or ambition into greed and powerlust. Its ultimate goal is to dissolve everything back into chaos.

Profile

Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon

During the King Abaddon crisis, Apollyon, a monstruous locust, was released, one that proved impervious to most forms of weaponry. It was revealed a necessary material for the creation of a sword capable of damaging Apollyon was in possession of Amatsu Mikaboshi, a powerful, rebellious god. At the time, he was imprisoned in the Confinement Chambers' 666th basement. Raidou was forced to ask Kohryu to grant him access to Mikaboshi's prison in order to acquire the needed materials.

Once there, Mikaboshi, the Star of Death, revealed he knew Gouto-Douji of old, and mulled over his disdain of Yatagarasu. Amused that a new Devil Summoner sought his power, he fought with Raidou and was defeated after a massive display of power on both sides. Mikaboshi, stumped at how he was defeated by a messenger of Yatagarasu's will, gave Raidou the necessary materials he required and unlocking his fusion.

If on Chaos Path, he will at least gain a measure in comfort in that Raidou does not necessarily obey Yatagarasu blindly, but does his job out of his own will. On a darker note, though, he also reveals he's responsible for the death of another Summoner, implying it was an earlier Raidou.
