The Rahi Zaku Mini Kit, or RZMIK, is a sprite kit made by Rahi Zaku, a now-banned member of BZPower. In spite of the kit's age (the original having been made in 2002), it remains one of the most popular kits on the site and retains a massive base of usage to this day.

History
RZMIK started as a small kit by Rahi Zaku, it started out as only a Matoran sprite, all red with a black outline. Over time it expanded, as of today becoming a huge collaboration of fan kits, becoming three shaded, and even six shaded. Eventually, all this ensured Rahi Zaku's fame as a spriting legend.
Fan additions
Several fan-made additions have been made for the RZ Kit. Too many small contributions have been made to list, but some of the most prominent additions are:
RZ Revolutions
RZ Revolutions is a tricolor-shaded version of the kit created by Metrukuta and Tahuri. It has now all but replaced the original RZMIK kit in BZPower comics, and is noted for its addition of 360 degree rotation views of the sprites that the original kit lacked.
Expanded RZ
The Expanded RZ Kit was created by Arthaka/ML in August 2008. It was created in order to reduce the pixelated look of the enlarged RZ sprites often used in comics. The kit was never used much in comics, despite recieving good reviews.
BIONICLE story year expansions
The RZ Phantoka2Mistika Kit is a complete project intended to sprite the BIONICLE sets of 2008 in RZMIK, led by Venom. The kit commenced production on February 18 2008, and was completed on July 30 2008. The kit garnered much support in regards to actually being created, but never seemed to take off in terms of usage.
The RZMIK: Bara Magna Kit and RZMIK 2010 are a pair of projects intending to sprite the BIONICLE sets of 2009 and 2010 respectively in RZMIK, both led by Forum Assistant Turaga Dlakii. The former launched on May 15 2009, while the latter launched on November 23 2009. Both have attained a substantial degree of popularity and use, and both are nearly complete.
Six-Shade RZ
Six-Shade RZ was created by Arc1110 to have a more detailed version of the kit. He created it because Chimoru Omega had a 6-shade version and he believed RZMIK was deserving of one. It is still a work in progress, though the topic has now died. It is unlikely that work on the kit will continue.

Trivia
- RZMIK is not to be confused with RZMK, the Rahi Zaku Mega Kit. The latter was a high-resolution kit, similar to the more recent Danska's Bionicle Builder.
- RZMIK is often abbreviated as RZ and should not be confused with the Razor Kit.
