Ariake No Kata (有明の方, Ariakenokata) is the Madam of the Kibaoni Army Corps and the first female general overall in the series. She is also Gengetsu Kibaoni's wife.

Character History

Ariake No Kata was one of three generals that served under the warlord Gengetsu Kibaoni in the past, with her mask being preserved after her death.

Ariake No Kata was the last of Kibaoni's generals to be revived by Kyuemon Izayoi in the present day. Though Kyuemon hoped not to revive her until later, the page of Kibaoni saw no choice but to do so after witnessing the Last Ninja's grandchildren use the power of Lion Ha-Oh to destroy the Advanced Youkai Nue, proceeding to infuse her mask with collected fear energy.

Personality

Ariake is an imperious, shrewish woman who is extremely vain, often using the fear Kyuemon Izayoi gathers as a beauty aid to wipe away her wrinkles so she will remain beautiful when Gengetsu Kibaoni returns. Whenever something goes wrong, or otherwise becomes upset, she is quick to blame and scold either Izayoi or Masakage Tsugomori while demanding that either of them fix it. Despite being a very powerful combatant, Ariake is more than willing to flee a battle in order to preserve herself and her beauty, leaving the yokai to finish battling the Ninningers.

Powers and Abilities

She uses a fan both as a melee weapon as well as launching explosive projectiles from it. She is an adapt fighter and, when fighting along side Jukkarage, she is capable of holding her ground against multiple Ninningers.

Arsenal

TBA

Notes

• Ariake No Kata's name refers to the moon on the 26th day of a cycle, where it makes a crescent along the left face, which is a typical depiction of a "crescent moon"
  • This is coincidental to her voice actor being Kotono Mitsuishi since her most famous character, Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon, has a symbol of a similar crescent moon.
• Ariake No Kata's facial design features an incomplete Onna-kei mask from Noh theatre, with the the missing section being the eyes and nose area.
