History[]
Invasion Of Earth[]
A long time ago, Hosshiwa, along with the other generals and Queen Mirage, was sealed inside a box called Axia. The box was in the Blue Sky Empire until Hime opened it and released them. Queen Mirage took control over the kingdom and Hosshiwa started to spread sorrow around the world as she demanded.
First Attack[]
After Namakelder's failure, Mirage sends her to attack the Cures. She summons a newspaper Saiark to wreck the town. The Cures arrive and notice Seiji is injured and they transform in front of him. Hosshiwa orders the group of Choiarks to attack them and Lovely easily beats them with anger for hurting Seiji. She taunts Lovely about how petty love is, but Lovely was not buying it, so Princess defends her and allows her to defeat it with her Pinky Love Shoot.HCPC03
Almost Becoming Good[]
Hosshiwa and the rest of the trio are ordered to prevent the Shining Make Dresser from being awakened. They confront the Cures, minus Hime, who was helping perform the ritual, and fight against them.

Hosshiwa and the rest of the trio are almost purified by Cure Fortune's Starlight Ascension but Deep Mirror intervenes before they become completely good and they retreat.HCPC29
