Yuki-onna

A yokai residing deep in the mountains, she stands in stark contrast to the cold and fearsome image of legend—lively, fond of jokes, and enthusiastic about human cuisine and modern technology. Eleven years ago, she pulled Masayuki Muroi back from the brink of death after he was betrayed by a friend and fell from a cliff, forging a bond that endures to this day. When Muroi became entangled in a murder case involving his ex-wife, she sought out Kotoko Iwanaga to uncover the truth and clear his name. As the central figure of the 'Yuki-onna's Predicament' arc, her story illuminates the sincere and profound emotional connection that can exist between yokai and humans.
