Dokurobou (ドクロボウ Dokurobō, 29) is a skull-faced Ayakashi who serves under Akumaro Sujigarano. Creepy and full of himself, he's armed with the Nuregami Itomayutō (濡髪糸眉刀 Wet Hair Thread Eyebrow Sword).
History[]
Dokurobou has the ability to create shadow clones of himself, using them to weaken his opponents while he waits for them to falter and then make his move. He can also leap high distances and shoot purple energy attacks from his hands. But this ability is countered by Daigoyou, which allows Super Shinken Pink to kill him in his first life. He is then destroyed by DaiKai ShinkenOh with the Ika Tenku Buster's Origami Grand Release.
Yokai Origin[]
According to folklore, the kyōkotsu (狂骨) is a skeletal yokai that lives in wells. It is thought that the ghostly appearance of Dokurobou's clones is the basis of this legend.
