Yokai Tengu (妖怪テング Yōkai Tengu, lit. "Heavenly Dog") was a Yokai that served the Kibaoni Army Corps.
History[]
Youkai Tengu is created when Raizo Gabi infects a clarinet via a corrupted Sealing Shuriken in order to lure Takaharu to finish their fight. As the Ninningers arrive, Tengu expects Takaharu's arrival, not knowing he is sitting in for a test makeup and thus orders the Hitokarage to attack the rest of them. Raizo Gabi appears and easily incapacitate them before taking Fuka as a hostage in his pocket dimension.
After finishing his midterm test, Takaharu rushes to Yokai Tengu and Fuka is freed with Raizo challenging him into Tengu's pocket dimension. Fuka is joined by her cousins as they transform and fought the Yokai. After an aerial combat, Tengu's shadow is pinned by Fuka for Kasumi and Yakumo to finish him and free Takaharu. After outnumbered by the Ninningers, as well as losing one of his horns, Kyuemon Izayoi spirits Raizo away and grows Tengu into a giant. Summoning the Otomo Nin, they form into Shurikenjin before killing Tengu with Shurikenjin Paon and its Paon Boomerang. TV STORY-Shinobi 6: Tengu's Spirit Away
