History
Not much is known at this moment. His records were eraesed after the War 80 years ago.

However, a few people know of one incident Mikio was involved in about a century ago. He was handpicked as part of a Gotei 13 squad to go into Hueco Mundo and scout out the situation. The squad included Heikishou Kikou. They apprehended a Hollow gang, wiping out all of its members except for one of its leaders, an old gray crone. They took her captive, to interrogate her for information. Overnight, however, Mikio and another Shinigami began to torture the gray crone, beating her and mutilating her to a horrific extent. The rest of the squad restrained them, but the damage was done: the gray crone had been tortured so much that the trauma regressed her mind to that of a child. Her body was crippled, her face deformed.

Upon their return to the Gotei 13, Mikio and the other Shinigami were put on trial. However, the corrupt Central 46 pardoned both of them, due to the fact that Hollows did not count as "human beings" and therefore did not have rights. Not only that, but the Central 46 promoted both Mikio and the other Shinigami, making Mikio the Kido Corps' Third Seat. The rest of the squad who had spoken out against Mikio and the other Shinigami for their cruel acts, among them Kikou, were demoted instead, and forbidden to speak openly about the incident.
