In Japanese mythology, a spirit living high up in the central tower of Himeji Castle.

He assumes the image of a majestic old woman in a twelve-layer kimono. This is a very powerful creature capable of controlling people. She can read a person's heart and find out about their true desires, and then manipulate it as she pleases. She controls many bestial spirits who serve as her messengers.

They say that anyone who sees her face will instantly die.
