Please note: This article is about the oni. For other uses of the term, please see Shizuko (disambiguation).
Oni no Shizuko was an oni of the Shadowlands.
== Appearance and Abilities ==
Shizuko was a reptilian looking Oni the size of a pony with five legs and incredible speed. A long craning neck ended at a spiky frog-like head with strong teeth pushing in every direction out of its mouth. It had long strong legs that ended in sharp hooves. However, Shizuko did not use its legs when attacking, but prefered to swing its long neck around and bite at its opponents. Shizuko is swift, and more likely to run than to continue a losing engagement against strong opponents. Veterans of the Shadow, by Jim Pinto (Imperial Herald #9)
== Servant ==
In the 9th century Kuni Girakuma, a dreaded maho-tsukai who had mastered the Art of Oni Naming, took the hands from his dead daughter, Kuni Shizuko, and sacrificed them (along with his own blood) during the summoning ritual. Girakuma's servant wa an Oni he called Shizuko (quiet little helper). The power of the Oni was great, but Girakuma possessed the power to destroy it with a thought. That alone had kept both of them safe in the knowledge that their wills were focused on the task at hand which could change as quickly as the wind. Shizuko maintained communication with Girakuma, and performed the smallest of tasks that Girakuma determined were beneath him.
