Biography
Black Moon arc
Koan first appeared in Act 15 of the manga, where she was in charge of Operation 001: Operation Recruit. Disguising herself as a T*A Academy for Girls student named Koan Kurozuki, she recruited people to the Black Moon by foreseeing their deaths and then promising a peaceful passing if they joined her. Unfortunately, those who agreed bore a crescent sign that would then spontaneously combust, as they were most likely unable to handle the power.
After finding one of the school's teachers who had suffered this fate, Sailor Mars confronted her, but was trapped in Koan's flame barrier. Though Sailor Moon used her new Cutie Moon Rod to destroy Koan with Moon Princess Halation, she was unable to break the flame barrier, and Sailor Mars was abducted by Rubeus.
Development
Etymology
Catzi Japanese name is Kooan. Kooan is comprised of two of the three Kanji that represent Kooankou
(紅安鉱), a mineral that is also known as Kermesite and Red Antimony. The
"Kermes" part of Kermesite means "Crimson." The Kanji character that is
missing is the character for a "mineral" or "ore."*
Koan was named for the mineral kermesite, known in Japanese as "koanko." Among other places, kermesite is found in chocolate.
Her given human in the Janpanese manga is Kurozuki Kooan. Kooan's
human name is written in Kanji characters that individually have
the following meanings: 黒=kuro=black, 月=zuki=moon, 紅=ko=crimson,
安=an=peaceful/relax. The reason for her english name Catzi would likely
refer to her cat-like ears shaped hair and make her fingernails like a
cat's, extending them to a great length
Trivia
She is the Ayakashi Sister equivalent to Sailor Mars.
In the Materials Collection, her ideal voice was described as a sexy adult-sounding voice which ironically her first English voice was more suitable to her role because her second English voice sounded like a chain smoker with a New York City accent.
