Kugutsukai (クグツカイ 30) is a slug-like Ayakashi who serves under Akumaro Sujigarano and is able to control people with strings like a puppeteer. His strings can also be used as a lasso from his arms.
History
Kugutsukai targets the Takashiro Academy where he intends to create a puppet army out of the student body. Once he is discovered, he uses his army on the Shinkengers. He is slain by Super Shinken Blue by striking him from below where the controlled humans can't reach before being destroyed again by the accidentally formed Shinken DaiGoyou.
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.
