Manago in the Muro district named Steward of Seiji or Shōji Kiyotsugu. Seiji () or Kiyotsugu are variant readings of the same characters, and while "Shōji" is construable as a surname, it is also the title/position of a steward of the shōen manor, as already discussed. Cultural references The tale of Anchin and Kiyohime forms the basis of a collection of plays termed Dōjōji mono (Dōjō-ji Temple plays), depicting an event some years after the temple bell was destroyed. These plays include the Noh play Dōjōji and the Kabuki dance drama Musume Dōjōji. Kiyohime appears in the mobile game Fate/Grand Order as both a Berserker, and Lancer class servant, both incarnations with a madness/insanity related skill. She also appears in the Megami Tensei video game series as a demon. In the video game For Honor, the Aramusha character has a customizable sword gear set named "Kiyohime's Embrace" complete with serpent scales on the blade hilts, and marks running down the blades as if they were partly melted. In the mobile game onmyoji, Kiyohime is represented as a fire-spitting snake-like shikigami, one of the collectable spirits, and an occasional villain in the game's storyline. In the anime series My-HiME, Kiyohime is the Child (a part-spiritual, part-mechanical creature) of Shizuru Fujino, one of the 12 HiMEs. In her final confrontation with fellow HiME Natsuki Kuga, with whom she is romantically obsessed, Shizuru drops a bell on her. In the anime series Dragon Ball Z, a filler character named "Princess Snake" may be based on Kiyohime. She falls in love with Goku while the latter is travelling on the Snake Way. After Goku rejects her, she transforms into a giant fire-breathing snake, and tries to eat him.
