==Legend==
The Iso-Onna is a yōkai found in fishing villages all over Kyushu, and similar yōkai, such as Nure-Onna and Daki, can be found among many regions of Japan. In the Kumamoto Prefecture, the Iso-Onna invades boats via a mooring line and lays her long hair on a person to suck their blood out. In the Shimabara Peninsula, by placing three strands of woven mat hair on top of one's kimono, one can avoid being attacked by Iso-Onna. 
Her appearance varies between regions, but she is always described as her top half being human and her bottom half being blurred like a ghost or serpentine in nature. She has many different names, and all of them seem friendly enough including:
*Iso-Onago (磯女子) = rocky shore girl
*Umi-Onna (海女) = ocean woman
*Umi-Hime (海姫) = ocean princess
*Umi-Nyōbō (海女房) = ocean wife
Because of their close mythological origins, Mizuki's design for the Iso-Onna and Nure-Onna's design are interchangeable with one another.
==Trivia==
*The Iso-Onna story was told in the 56th episode of both the 1968 and 2007 anime adaptations.
*One of Kami-no-Sei in the manga has an appearance of Iso-Onna.
