Michiru became a magical girl the day her grandmother died. She was studying abroad when she learned that her grandmother's condition became critical. While hurrying home, she ran straight into a witch's barrier. Fortunately, she's saved by Mami Tomoe, who destroys the witch with "Tiro Finale". At Michiru's home, a doctor explains that her grandmother only has a few days left unless she's hooked up to a respiratory machine and it's unlikely that she'll wake up. Michiru says that her grandmother would never want to go on life support. Jubey appears on the windowsill, saying that he can grant her wish if she makes a contract and becomes a magical girl. Michiru wishes for her grandmother to return to her normal self as long as she remains alive.
Michiru spends the day learning cooking skills and advice from her grandmother. She tells Michiru that people can't fall into dispair as she gives Kazumi her earring-bell; the same earring-bell Michiru has worn throughout the series. Her grandmother passed away the next day.
Some time later, she met six girls that were victims of Witch's Kisses and saved them. She convinces them to make a contract with Jubey. Later they became the Pleiades Saints.
She saved Yuuri Asuka from a witch and convinced her to become a magical girl to cure Airi. By doing so, Yuuri became a witch some time later.
At some point between rescuing the other Pleiades Saints and the death of Yuuri Asuka, Michiru transformed into a witch. Desperate to revive her, the Pleiades Saints utilized Nico's powers of regeneration and began cloning her from the witch's body. Thirteen of the clones were made; twelve are hidden inside the Freezer, while the thirteenth - the current Kazumi - is with the Pleiades Saints. After being exposed to an Evil Nut, Kazumi is beginning to turn back into a witch.
