the singular exception to this, as the other mice under her command would eat it before she could find any. Species: Kasa-obake Ability: Surprising humans, blacksmithing Residence: Myouren Temple Cemetery (Ten Desires) Stage 2 boss, Extra Stage mid-boss of Undefined Fantastic Object, and stage 3 mid-boss of Ten Desires. Kogasa was once an umbrella who was forgotten for a long time and thus became an obake. Beyond blacksmithing, Kogasa's only ability to speak of is surprising humans, but holds no malice towards them. She is generally happy, but can quickly grow depressed if things do not go her way - she has low self-esteem, and is annoyed when people don't take her seriously, and will often contemplate if she's better off foregoing her consciousness and going back to being an umbrella.

Over time, Ichirin's fear of yōkai ceased, which caused her to become shunned by other humans, and eventually became a yōkai herself. Her and Unzan are always seen together, and they reside in the Myouren Temple. Ichirin wears
