Blue Eye Samurai is an animated action television series created and written by Michael Green and Amber Noizumi. It premiered on Netflix on November 3, 2023.
The series is set in 17th-century Edo-period Japan and follows Mizu (voiced by Maya Erskine), a mixed-race master of the sword who lives a life in disguise seeking revenge against those who made her an outcast.
Mizu was born to a Japanese mother and a Caucasian father, and she was abandoned as a child. She was raised by a samurai who taught her the art of swordsmanship. When she was old enough, she set out to avenge herself against the people who had wronged her and her family.
“My enemy is near.
Give me the strength.
Guide my hand to kill him and return alive to kill those who remain.
May all evil omens, the dire cry of birds, a malign conjunction of stars,
all evil dreams and angry words–
May they all be drained of power.” –Mizu
