Azusa (I)

Please note: This article is about the shrine keeper. For other uses of the term, please see Azusa (disambiguation).
Azusa was a peasant maiden, shrine keeper of Sagisōmine Shrine, within the Crab lands. She had a dog, named Tazu. Trust Me, by Robert Denton III
== Death ==
In 1123 she became sick, and she was left alone by the other shrine keepers in order to avoid sickness would spread. She eventually began to be cared by the Master of Earth Isawa Tadaka, who waited until she passed away to kill the gaki which was the source of Azusa's health problems, and which could only be truly killed while it fed. The peasant hermit had been baited by Tadaka, her pain and confusion in her final moments all but ensuring that she would awaken in Gaki-dō, the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, a damned soul. The Kuni Daimyō Kuni Yori removed the barbed tongue of the hungry spirit, a precious material from which he could make protective talismans for several Crab warriors. Trust Me, by Robert Denton III
== Legacy ==
A paper ward Azusa had gifted to Tadaka was instrumental in the defeat of Akuma no Oni during the Battle of Cherry Blossom Snow Lake. Tadaka used the ward sacrifacing his own life to severe the connection between the Oni Lord, and the animated corpse of Isawa Akuma.
