Mizuki is perhaps most famous for his earlier performances: the opening theme songs of the Go Nagai animated television series Mazinger Z, Leiji Matsumoto's Space Pirate Captain Harlock and Tatsunoko Productions' Tekkaman: The Space Knight — Mazinger Z will later give birth to the Super Robot genre of anime that dominated the Japanese television landscape of the 1970s.
On July 19, 2000, he formed (with fellow anison vocalists Hironobu Kageyama, Masaaki Endoh, Eizo Sakamoto, and Rika Matsumoto) the "supergroup" JAM Project. (Effective August 2002, he has since reduced his formal status in this group to "part-time member" and now focuses on producing both the group and up-and-coming talent.)
His most recent performance was STORMBRINGER, the opening of Kotetsushin Jeeg (as part of JAM Project). Fittingly enough, Kotetsushin Jeeg is a sequel to Kotetsu Jeeg, an anime which Mizuki sang the opening theme for.

The song "Mazinkaiser" by Mizuki Ichirou is a popular anime theme song that is widely recognized among anime fans, especially those who are into mecha anime. The lyrics of the song mainly speak of the power and the determination of the singer, who is portrayed as a god or a demon, and his metallic machine called Kaiser.
The song opens with the question, "Is he a god or a demon? Kaiser, the steel machine." The chorus, which is repeated several times in the song, comprises of the onomatopoeic sounds "Zubaban, Zubaban," followed by "Shoot lightning at the enemy." This is a reference to the singer's ability to attack with lightning bolts.
The lyrics also speak of the promise that the singer and his companions made to each other, represented by the "Z" on their chests. They stand up for each other, fly through the wide expanse of the sky with Kaiser Piledriver, and shoot an invincible photon beam. They also call out to their metallic ally, "Debirmashin", the Devil Machine, to join them in their fight against evil.

強さもかっこよさも比例してくってすごくね？
やっぱ賢先生と豪先生の師弟が意図しなくても出てたりするのかなって勝手に思ったり。(ドラゴンとネオゲはInfinityやエンペラーGみたいな別物として考えてます。)
このふたつは大人になっても特に魅力的なんよ。激アツすぎんか？
ZEROが最強なのだけど
それを打ち破った皇帝、甲児達こそが最強だと思う。
デザインがかっこいいんだよな
カイザーのさ。エンペラーGもだけど。なんかこうより強くなったらかっこよさも増しましたみたいな。
