Hoshimi Miyabi/Lore
Last updated 2026-06-25
Official Introduction
It’s Chief Hoshimi Miyabi from Hollow Special Operations Section 6! As the youngest Void Hunter in history, I wonder if Ms. Miyabi has any tips on how to get stronger that she'd like to share with everyone?
"As a warrior, only through continuous training can one achieve true mastery, regardless the type of training."
"Order cannot be broken."
Hoshimi Miyabi
"Simply imitating the swordsmanship of the strong will ultimately not lead to greatness."
"It's like the newly bought photocopier in the office. It may be energy-efficient and eco-friendly, but its impassionate replications only add meaningless noise and distortion."
"This noise will become your weakness. You must not get careless."
Void Hunter Description
In the Agent menu, in place of the brief name most Agents have, Hoshimi Miyabi has 
Void Hunter: Isshin Muga, which, if interacted with, gives the following passage.
In the old capital under the gaze of the moon, seven travelers of the World's Void once made a decision:
to allow the king of the mortal realm to bestow honors upon them.
To this day, most of the new capital's seven badges lie forgotten, gathering dust,
a fact known to few, while the joyous city remains confident in her impenetrable protection.
The Ethereal-hunting foxfire has been tamed by the martial artist,
and young fox ears flicker frequently on fluorescent screens,
filling people with boundless confidence.
Yet those seated atop the pinnacle of the new capital are restless, each harboring their own fears.
Profile
The youngest Void Hunter to date and Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6, Hoshimi Miyabi is a woman who defies the status quo and uses Tailless, her family heirloom's cursed blade, to protect the city of New Eridu and unveil the corruption within it. However, despite being the chief, Miyabi does little work related to it, with bureaucratic tasks being handled by Deputy Chief Tsukishiro Yanagi.
Miyabi has a great obsession with training, finding numerous ways to classify mundane tasks as a form of training, such as opening surprise boxes,[1] watching films,[2] and not attending meetings.[3] The intensity of some of her training leads her to black out and enter a trance-like state, where's she's only capable of parroting the last word said by another.[4]
History
Born into the famed Hoshimi family to Souichirou and an unnamed mother, Miyabi was expected to be another in the proud line of warriors the family from the moment she chose to hold a toy sword during Erabitori, the traditional ceremony of putting a toddler in front of many objects to foretell their future careers and personalities.[5]
Miyabi's mother would do her best to deter her daughter from following down the path of her ancestors and ensure she would live an ordinary life. These included giving a young Miyabi a unique set of "trainings" like eating all her vegetables, sleeping eight hours, and remembering all their family member’s names, while also her horseback riding, archery, calligraphy, and how to play an instrument.
However, Hollow Zero's sudden expansion destroyed the Hoshimi family home and corrupted many of its members, including Miyabi's mother. Severely corrupted, she handed Miyabi Tailless and described her the last training: to use their family blade to end her life before she could mutate into an Ethereal. After mercifully killing her mother, under the influence of the katana's power, Miyabi entered a frenzy state and slayed countless Ethereals,[5] an event which would later be addressed by her father as an "accident."[6]
Years later, Miyabi would hold Tailless once more, with the desire of protecting the citizens of New Eridu. Her father Souichirou supported her plan by crafting an advanced scabbard able to seal the cursed katana's power.[7]
During her time at the Public Security Training Academy, Miyabi befriended fellow classmate Zhu Yuan[8] and briefly lost her family's katana to a scam by Nicole Demara, who later returned it.[9] After graduating, she joined H.A.N.D., where she quickly rose to the rank of executive officer.
Hoshimi Miyabi was crucial in the successful containment of the Argos Hollow by managing to destroy the massive ethereal Lerna in under three minutes, saving the life of around 208 people and destroying the Hollow in an instant. This feat rewarded Miyabi with the esteemed title of Void Hunter: Isshin Muga, but instead of attending the ceremony, she took advantage of her new position to transfer fellow executive officer Asaba Harumasa and Defense Force member Tsukishiro Yanagi to the newly founded Hollow Special Operations Section 6, which she created to uncover and destroy the roots of corruption within New Eridu and find the true culprits behind the Fall of the Old Capital,[10] in order to avenge her late mother.[11]
Agent Weapon
Ethereal-Slaying Katana: "Tailless"
A cursed blade originally wielded by the first head of the Hoshimi family and passed down from generation to generation. Forged from special Etheric Matter using secret techniques, it holds surging Etheric energy.
However, under the effect of the sealing sheath, "Tailless" is merely a sharp blade wielded by Miyabi.
Maybe only when the seal is lifted will we uncover the story behind this blade.

Impressions
- Why in New Eridu does she think Officer Mewmew is a sea otter...?
- Sometimes, she enters a semi-conscious meditative state after training.
- The purpose of Miyabi's power is to protect, and she's willing to pay the price for it.

Agent Details
Hoshimi Miyabi, the Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6.
Miyabi goes on a lot of field missions and still doesn't know which floor the regular monthly meeting is on.
Even if you see Miyabi in the office, it's unlikely she's dealing with paperwork, and more likely polishing her sword.
Being conferred the title of Void Hunter due to her outstanding contributions, she's an elite amongst elites in Section 6.
She has great prestige amongst the citizens.
Once, Miyabi accidentally wandered into a "Miyabi Fan Club" hosted offline event.
Miyabi was thought to be a fan with godlike impersonation skills, and that event resulted in a precious visual recording.
Hoshimi Miyabi is honest and pragmatic. She is not simply a martial artist obsessed with her art and without care for the world around her.
Anyone who knows her will realize she's always pursued justice in her heart... even if it may eventually cause a revolution.

Trust Rank: Close
Hoshimi Miyabi is the heir to a famed martial arts family in New Eridu.
According to an insider, Miyabi's mother died when she was young and Miyabi's relationship with her father is rather odd.
Note: Miyabi's father has not taken any civil or administrative positions within New Eridu.

This Is Training, Too Not long after Miyabi leaves the video store, a buff dude comes in yelling, "I accept defeat! Please let me rent a videotape!" So... what actually happened was that Miyabi went to a Kendo place and made a bet that whoever lost must take a video store flyer. So, within the hour, the video store is full of buff people here to rent videotapes... |
Promoter...? So, someone who convinces people to come to the store with passion, yes? I see. Thank you for placing your trust in me, Manager. I shall consider this training and do my utmost. |

Trivia
- Miyabi's player name at the Godfinger arcade is "170," possibly in reference to her height.

- In the Animated Short "The Path to Becoming a Hero," the scene where an infant Hoshimi Miyabi walks towards the sword is reminiscent of the (Japanese: 選び取り Erabitori), a tradition held at a child's first birthday party where parents place various objects in front of the child to see which object the child will choose. This is believed to predict the child's future aspiration or career, which is later shown with Miyabi later growing up to be a skilled swordswoman.
