Rihan Nura

Rihan Nura was a Second Head of the Nura Clan after his father. He is son of Nurarihyon, Yōhime and late father of Rikuo Nura. He is Hanyo (half yokai and half human).
He is voiced by the late Keiji Fujiwara in the Japanese Version and Matthew Mercer in the English Version.
==Appearance==
Unlike his father, he have pure black hair.
==Personality==
Like Rikuo, Rihan had a choice when he was younger to either embrace his human side or his yōkai side. He chose to embrace his yōkai side which allowed him to use his yōkai powers at all times. However, he didn't want Rikuo to know about the yakuza aspect of the yōkai world and raised his son in such a way as to prevent him from learning of it.
==History==
Before he married Wakana, Rihan fell in love and married Yamabuki Otome, a beautiful ayakashi. As a result of Hagoromo Gitsune's curse on Nurarihyon (that his yōkai bloodline would die out), they couldn't have children. Blaming herself, Yamabuki Otome eventually left Rihan a poem describing her pain of not being able to bear him children and she disappeared and, presumably, died. In a scheme to get rid of Rihan and to revive Hagoromo Gitsune, Abe no Seimei and Sanmoto Gorozaemon revived Yamabuki Otome as her younger self and Hagoromo Gitsune possessed the body. Since her form resembled his late first wife, Rihan believed her to be Yamabuki Otome's daughter and treated her as if she were his own. When Rihan recited Yamabuki Otome's farewell poem, Hagoromo Gitsune stabbed him through the chest, with young Rikuo witnessing his father's death.
==Trivia==
*His English Voice Actor, Matthew Mercer is best known voicing as Yamato from Naruto Shippuden, Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titian and Beelzemon from Digimon Fusion.
