"Did you enjoy it?! That ability to take on any appearance! It truly is impressive! Can't say I'm flattered to receive a compliment from someone as common as you."

Narisumashi (ナリスマシ, Narisumashi) is a Noppera-bo-themed Ayakashi.

History

He assumed Chiaki's form to cause trouble among the team, having doing so after expectantly running into him whilst chasing a "punk woman", intending to kill the confused and depressed Chiaki once he completes his plan. However, seeing his reflection, Chiaki tricks him in order to expose him to the others. He was first destroyed by the Kabuto Five Rings Bullet and then destroyed for good by Tenku ShinkenOh and its Tenkuu Bamboo Slice.

Yokai Origin

According to folklore, Noppera-bo (野箆坊, Noppera-bō) are yokai that appear as faceless humans. Narisumashi's featureless face and shapeshifting powers are thought to be the basis of this legend.
