Mizuki is a writer from Japan, currently living in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with her half moon and two very spoiled farm dogs. In the past, she’s lived on both U.S. coasts, a few places in-between, South Africa, and London. The places she’s been often inform her imagination and ways of thinking.

Mizuki’s writing has appeared in SmokeLong Quarterly, Flash Frog, Your Impossible Voice, The Citron Review, HAD, and is forthcoming at Lost Balloon, Does It Have Pockets and other places. She was the winner of The SmokeLong Quarterly Award for Flash Fiction 2025 and was shortlisted for the 31st Bath Flash Fiction Award. She is a 2025 Best of the Net nominee.

During the day Mizuki works on climate action. In her spare time, she worries about climate collapse. In her writing, she explores humanity on the brink, or simply people in strange places and strange times.
