Template:Character The Myojin of Night's Reach was the kami of black magic on Kamigawa. Like all Myojin, she (it talks with a female voice and appears with a mask with female features) was one of the most powerful kami.

During the Kami War, O-Kagachi was waging a war on the mortal world, which caused the Planar Barriers of Kamigawa to waver. The Myojin of Night's Reach discovered she could use this to travel across the Multiverse.

When O-Kagachi was manifesting himself in the mortal world it seemed as if his victory was near. Night's Reach didn't want to give up her ability to travel the planes and planned to prolong the war. To do so she approached Toshiro Umezawa when he was cornered and gave him the abilities to defeat or avoid his many enemies in exchange for his service.

Night's Reach wanted to use Toshi to keep That Which Was Taken out of O-Kagachi's hands, but Toshi was always looking to further his own goals and gave That Which Was Taken to Michiko Konda, thus ending the Kami War after all, just in an entirely different way.

For this Night's Reach took away Toshi's eyesight and banished him from Kamigawa, dropping him off on Dominaria, in Madara.

Toshiro's descendant Tetsuo Umezawa played the main role in defeating and killing the Elder Dragon Nicol Bolas during the events of Legends II Cycle. When Bolas was restored during the events of Time Spiral, using Venser and Radha as mana sources, he proclaimed that he was going to find the spirit who brought the first Umezawa on Dominaria and departs. The Future Sight shows Myojin of Night's Reach talking to Leshrac Nightwalker, trying to enlist his help against Bolas, who found her and is currently chasing her (she also mentions that Bolas destroyed her domains, and turned her worshippers against her). She gives him a porcelain mask - a big part of her powers.

The exact details are unknown, but later claims to have Nicol Bolas found and defeated her, and he took her original porcelain mask before she fled again. He later used it to defeat Leshrac and close the rift on Madara.

Her current status is unknown.
