Amikiri (アミキリ Amikiri) is an Amikiri/witch/scissor/switchblade-themed Yokai.
History[]
A bladed Yokai under Junior's command who swore a vendetta on Saizo for the fact his ancestor chopped her arm off in a swordsmen-type duel. She replaced it with a bladed prosthesis provided by Prof. Yugami, which she used by launching the blade on it like a missile.
While posing as an attractive swords-woman in red, with a black gloved prosthetic arm, she attacked Saizo in their first meeting, cutting his SUV and clothes to pieces before revealing her true form. With Junior's aid, Amikiri obtained a boy named Toru as a hostage to force Saizo to fight her. Amikiri overpowered Saizo at first, but Toru's photos gave the gang an edge of knowing a flaw in her prosthesis arm.
While the others took out the Dorodoros, she and NinjaBlue dueled at sunset, with NinjaBlue focusing on her using his square-cut technique to finish her off.
When Amikiri grew, she was still bent on vengeance. The Kakurangers immediately formed Muteki Shogun to finish off the Yokai with the flaming sword attack.

Amikiri reappeared, along with all the other defeated Yokai, within the Seal Door after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Yokai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!
