Kugutsukai (クグツカイ) is a Kosode-no-te-themed Ayakashi.
History[]
Kugutsukai targets the Takashiro Academy where he intends to create a puppet army out of the student body. Once he is discovered, the Ayakashi Kugutsukai was forced to reveal himself. Shinken Blue and Shinken Yellow engage him as their teammates arrive to assist. Kugutsukai, however, summons the entranced students and teachers to serve in holding the Shinkengers off. Shinken Yellow uses her Mojikara to help Super Shinken Blue take out Kugutsukai and free everyone from the trance. Once enlarged, Shinken DaiGoyou and Ika-Daikaioh double team Kugutsukai before DaiGoyou destroys him.
Yokai Origin[]
According to folklore, the Kosode-no-te (小袖の手) is a yokai that appears as a pair of ghostly hands. The way Kugutsukai moves his hands while he controls humans is thought to be the basis of this legend.
