Mizuchi Kan Dojo


Mizuchi – The Mizuchi (大虬, 蛟龍, 蛟, 美都知) is a type of Japanese Dragon or legendary serpent-like creature, either found in an aquatic habitat or otherwise connected to water. Some commentators perceived it to have been a water deity.

Mizuchi is a Japanese water dragon who serves as guardian spirit to those who hold great ambitions. Though they normally reside in the abysses of deep rivers, it is believed that upon their death they ascend to the heavens and transform into celestial dragons. True or not, this belief was so widespread in the Warring States period that many aspiring warriors fervently venerated the Mizuchi.
