'''GCOM-W''' also known as Shizuku is a "gijinka" interpretation of the Global Change Observation Mission - Water satellite used by JAXA which reflects her Japanese heritage.
GCOM-W was launched by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency on May 18, 2012 from the Tanegashima Space Center on Tanegashima Island, Japan. GCOM-W observes global water and energy circulation using an Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 instrument, the world's largest revolving space antenna at time of launch. GCOM-W is one of two satellites in the GCOM mission, along with GCOM-C, which observes climate change with an emphasis on the carbon cycle.
GPM gains the assistance of Shizuku and the many other satellites to track Mizu-Chan down, under the condition that all of the information they learn about her powers will be made open to all.
