Utakasane (ウタカサネ, Utakasane, 20) is an Ayakashi armed with the Otomata Meikyōtō (音叉鳴響刀, Tuning Fork Echo Sword) who steals peoples' souls with his Soul Remove (魂離脱, Tamashii Ridatsu) and break up his body to swarm and ram into his enemies in his Hundred-Parts Separation (百体分離, Hyakutai Bunri) offense/defense combo. He also has eye lightning beams.

History

Acquiring a large number of 54 souls, including Kotoha's, Utakasane reveals the soulless bodies have a day to live before falling back into the Sanzu River so that he wouldn't be destroyed before his mission is complete. However, Genta planted a Mojikara on Utakasane that not only forces him back to the mortal realm when Ebi Origami is brought to life, but also to keep him from utilizing his Hundred-Parts Separation move. He then tries to escape by jumping into some buildings but was shot down by the Water Arrow and Heaven Fan, flipped into the air by the Wood Spear, and destroyed by Takeru's Daizanto mid-fall with a single energized slash as he fell towards the Red Shinkenger.

Utakasane enlarged and the Shinkengers can't form ShinkenOh due to Kotoha's absence. Luckily, Genta calls upon the Ebi Origami and battled the Ayakshi. After Genta gained the upper hand, Utakasane summoned giant Nanashi, but Genta attacked them with energy disks. Genta then changed his mecha into into DaiKaiOh East and overpowered a handful with it's bare hands. Then Ebi transformed into DaiKaiOh West and deflected away a volley of Nanashi arrows. More swarmed it from all sides and overpowered him so Takeru, Ryunosuke and Chiaki summoned their mecha, forming DaiTenku and destroying the ones covering the mecha. Then Genta transformed his Origami into DaiKaiOh South and defeated the rest of the Nanashi with it's katanas. The ShinkenGold battled Utakasane before crippling him with its Lobster Sword Daimyo Fillet attack. Utakasane was then killed by the Lobster Claw True Payback attack. After his death, all of the spirits he stole were returned.

Yokai Origin

According to folklore, the uwan (うわん, uwan) is a yokai that frightens and steals souls for humans with its screams. The screams of the souls taken by Utakasane seem to be the basis for this legend.
