Ayaka Shindou

Ayaka Shindou leads a dual existence as both a Spirit Realm Operative and a Nine-Tailed Fox Yōmu, running the Shindou Photo Studio where she offers specialized Yōmu Stone appraisal services. Known for her composed demeanor and an air of quiet mystique, she delights in teasing the protagonist with her distinctive Kansai dialect while her ever-present pipe completes her signature look.
