History

Killed by Shinken Red in battle, Kagekamuro resurrects as a giant that is destroyed by the Shishi Origami's Pentagon Great Blaze.

Yokai Origins

According to folklore, the ōkamuro (大かむろ, ōkamuro) is a yokai that resembles a giant disembodied head that suddenly appears outside of people's doors. Since his lower body appears to be a giant face, Kagekamuro seems to be the basis of this legend.
