Ootsumuji (オオツムジ Ōtsumuji) is a Kamaitachi-themed Ayakashi.
History[]
Sent to terrorize humans by causing massive damage and gathering all humans in the area, Ootsumuji initially gained an edge over the Shinkengers, knocking all of them but Shinken Red down, but he is soon overpowered and is defeated by the Shinkenmaru Spiral Swords.
He then grows giant, and becomes the first Ayakashi to fight ShinkenOh. After ShinkenOh knocked him down, Ootsumuji then calls upon a Giant Nanashi Company, all of which are defeated before he became the first Ayakashi killed by ShinkenOh's Samurai Slash.
Yokai Origins[]
According to folklore, the kamaitachi (窮奇) is a yokai with sharp, sickle-like claws that rides in gusts of wind. Ootsumuji appears to be the basis of this legend with his ability to cause destructive whirlwinds.
