History

A member of the Amatsu-Kami (the gods of Japan), Kumari is daughter of Minato-no kami, God of rivers and estuaries. During Mikaboshi's attack against the Olympians, she was tricked by Inari, along with the other Kamis, into believing that the Olympians requested their help due to Ares having gave water to Inari, unknowing making an offering to him. Due to this, she and the other Kami assisted the Olympians in the battle and Kumari played a somewhat important role there by giving a bottle of water to Neptune in return of the early "gift", and the ocean deity promptly used it to summon a flood.[2]

Ame-No-Mi-Kumari vs. Mikaboshi

Later, when Mikaboshi and his army of enslaved alien deities attacked the Amatsu-Kami’s extradimensional realm of Ama, Ame-No-Mi-Kumari and her fellow gods (under the leadership of the sun goddess Amaterasu) again attempted to thwart the god of evil. However, by this time Mikaboshi was simply too powerful, and he handily defeated and enslaved Ame-No-Mi-Kumari and the other assembled Amatsu-Kami.[3]
