Urara

* Human
* Yokai

**Urara** (ウララ, *Urara*?) is the deuteragonist of *Ayashimon*. She is a oni Ayashimon who is the founder and boss of the Urara Family. She is also secretly the illegitimate child of the late first chairman of the Enma Syndicate, Kio.

After the death of her father, who she speculated to have been murdered, Urara made it her goal to find and take vengeance on the one responsible, take back her family's crest, and bring down the Enma Syndicate. She also hopes to one day rule over Kabukicho with the help from her yakuza family.

## Appearance

### Human

As a human, Urara appears as a young girl with fair skin and soft facial features. She has hazel eyes with long, prominent eyelashes and small oval-shaped eyebrows. She has long, turquoise hair that fades to a white color down the middle and ends in a yellowish color. Urara chooses to style her hair in two cone-shaped buns on the opposite sides of her head (which could be interpret as horns) that let down long strands that reach to her waist, and bangs framing her face and covering her forehead. She also possesses fangs, which helps to distinguish her from being a human. Urara has her irezumi located on her shoulders, which are tattoos of chrysanthemums, clouds, and three-leaf shamrocks. After escaping from her first confrontation with Doppo, Urara has her irezumi extended down to her back and adds her yakuza gang's crest at the center.

Urara wears a black furisode kimono with a white hitodama pattern and sleeves that end with hitodama tails, a yellow obi with a pin of an oni head attached to her dark obijime, a obiage that holds her tanto, and wears a pair of dark geta.

### Yokai

As a yokai, Urara has the appearance of a large rodent-like creature with dark fur and a long tail split in two at the end. Her head possesses six eyes running down to her snout, two long horns that are reminiscence of her cone-shaped hairstyle, and a mane stretching all the way to her back, which has a long-tailed hitodama pattern similar to her kimono.

## Personality

Urara has a laid-back demeanor, as she is usually seen carrying around an easygoing smile on her face but comes off as being a little outspoken; most notably towards Maruo who she told to his face, upon their first meeting, that he would make a fitting yakuza due to his thuggish appearance and unintelligence. While a child, Urara is shown to have some level of maturity, not being one to fall for Kabukicho's dangerous aspects and made sure that Maruo was warned before they had entered the district. Despite this, she was quite playful when making sure he kept his word. Urara has no desire to drag others into her problems. After the Uwan Family confronted her and Maruo, Urara demanded that he leave the scene since they were originally after her. In addition, she also has no desire to get involved in other people's situations if it has nothing to do with her goals, as she refused to help or have Maruo do something about Ten being harassed by Nyudo.

Urara is very prideful and confident, if not downright arrogant. Although she had to initially run away from the Uwan Family, Urara was later confident that she could take them all on by herself after they confronted her and expressed how inferior they were compared to her. After challenging Amamehagi to a ritual duel against Maruo for ownership of his office, Urara wagered herself if her subordinate lost, stating that she is valuable enough to set the conditions. As a yakuza boss, and of high nobility as Kio's daughter, Urara speaks with authority and demands respect from her underlings, as she told Maruo that she will not accept him addressing her as anything else other than "Nee-san" (姉さん, ***"Nee-san"***? *Literal meaning*: Elder Sister) whenever they are together and menacingly berated Hashihime for getting up from kneeling before her without her permission. She is also shown to be immune to verbal intimidation, which she finds pathetic for a yakuza.

Previously, underneath the young Ayashimon's outward disposition lied a vengeful individual, as Urara made it her mission to seek revenge on the people accountable for the death of her father. In her pursuit for revenge, Urara proven herself to be cold-blooded at times, such as not taking pity on the weak falling prey to the strong and had no qualms acting as the predator to get what she wants from others. When choosing to rob people of their possessions, Urara stated that she preferred to "feed off of the juicy parts" while disposing of the unnecessary things that comes with it, such as her plan to only take Ten's gang's office and getting rid of him afterwards.

In terms of her relationships with her subordinates, as well as past acquaintances, Urara had only viewed them as nothing more than pawns with enough value to help her achieve her goals and was uncaring towards their feelings or well-being. When ordering Maruo to fight on her behalf, Urara did not flinch or bother to think about his condition if he was injured. Urara even stated to herself that she was resolved to dispose of him if she deemed that he was difficult to keep under her thumb. Her indifference towards her allies stemmed from the fact that she grew to hate everything around her while being alone for so long and, after Kio's death, swore to see all those who are willing to help her as disposable.

Following her first confrontation with the Enma Syndicate where her resolution to put herself first was tested, Urara had proven herself to not be completely heartless as she had hoped to be. Rather than abandon Maruo and Hashihime to save herself from Doppo, Urara chose to stay and resort to using her yokai form to escape with both her underlings, including Ten who she had only known for a short amount of time. She also expressed distraught on her face seeing Maruo grievously beaten by the second chairman.

Upon reflecting on Doppo's point to her on how she did not know Kio well enough to avenge him, Urara had come to realize that her ambition was simply an excuse to vent out the conflicting emotions she had bottled up since childhood. Feeling guilty for the way she had mistreated Maruo and Ten as dispensable pawns, Urara sincerely apologized to both of them and blamed herself for Hashihime's fate. Having come to realize her mistakes, Urara becomes resolved to treat Maruo and Ten as true allies.

## History

Urara was born as the illegitimate daughter of Kio. By the time she became an Ayashimon, Urara had learned from her father's associate Hashihime that Kio is unable to meet with her due to rising to power in Kabukicho's underworld during the decade it to for her to incarnate. To protect her from his enemies, Kio had Urara's existence kept a secret from society and assigned Hashihime to be her attendant. Although Hashihime reassured her that Kio would eventually come to see her, Urara felt as though she was alone in the world as time passed but patiently waited for him. While doing so, Urara chose to study the human underworld as to not embarrass her father for when the time came for them to reunite.

After finding about Kio's death over the news, Urara became distraught and was escorted out of Shinjuku by Hashihime. The two then went their separate ways, since Hashihime found that it would be difficult for her to take care of Urara under the conflicting circumstances their both in, however, before leaving, she gives Urara the tanto that contains her yokai powers and warns her to only use it for emergency. At some point, Urara speculated that her father was murdered rather than had died of natural causes and was furious with the Enma Syndicate for not being able to protect him. Having come to this conclusion, Urara resolved to take back the family crest, avenge Kio by finding his killer, and bringing down her father's syndicate as a parting gift to him. Not wanting to live a dull normal life, Urara also decided to include herself in the underworld by hopefully forming a yakuza family of her own and makes it her goal to become the new ruler of Kabukicho.

## Synopsis

### Introduction Arc

*Main article: Introduction Arc*

For unknown reasons, Urara secretly snooped around the Uwan Family but was eventually caught and had no other choice but to flee. While being chased, Urara is suddenly protected by a young man named Maruo Kaido and witnesses him taking down the men with his immense strength, which makes her assume that he is a Ayashimon. Impressed by what she saw, Urara drags Maruo along with her as she makes her escape and offers him a position as her yakuza subordinate by performing a sakazuki. However, Urara hears Maruo's rejection and listens to his backstory to when he decided to make it his goal to live the same life as a manga protagonist. She then becomes shocked to learn that Maruo is actually a human and not an Ayashimon.

After the Uwan Family locates the two, Urara is saved by Maruo from the gang's assault. Realizing that Maruo is human, Urara tells the Uwan Family that, according to the accord, they are not allowed to harm him as long as he is not within a feeding zone. After Maruo becomes confused as to what was happening in front of him, Urara informs him that she and the Uwan Family, who unveil their yokai forms, are Ayashimon. Despite the warning she gave them, Uwan tells Urara that they are going to ignore the rules and orders his men to kill Maruo while keeping the girl alive to find out why she was spying on them. After hearing the yakuza gang spout out how they plan to kill Maruo, Urara steps up to confront them and tells Maruo to escape, believing that a human such as himself will not be able to survive against Ayashimon. However, she becomes dumbfounded as the boy yells out at how he does not want to get his hopes up in fulfilling his forgotten dream with the situation he is in. Urara then sees Maruo struck by an attack from one of the Ayashimon but becomes shocked to see him alive and being able to take on the Uwan Family while badly injured.

After defeating the gang, Urara hears Maruo change his mind in wanting to serve under her, to which she becomes delighted to hear. Instead of performing a sakazuki as initially planned, Urara decides that the best way for them to officially form their pact is by exchanging a taste of each of their own blood. With the ceremony completed, Urara tells Maruo that he now has to call her "nee-san" and tells him about her plan to rule over Kabukicho. Before she could completely explain the imbalance of power caused by Kio's death, Urara sees Maruo excited after learning from her that the district allows one-on-one duels.

To enter Shinjuku without having to worry about public safety, Urara leads Maruo to Shinjuku Gyoen where she expects him to defeat the border guard named Hashihime. However, Urara witnesses him being easily defeated by her and is asked to leave for her own good. After being asked by Hashihime if her return to Shinjuku meant that she wanted to uncover the truth behind her father's death, Urara furiously demanded that she continue kneel before her as she were and expresses her resolve to see her ambitions through by getting revenge on the ones responsible for Kio's murder and taking back the family crest her father left to her as a memento. Their conversation then comes to an end after Maruo faces Hashihime once again. While watching the battle from the sidelines, Urara sees that Maruo is a special pawn that she can use to her advantage but tells herself that she will have to dispose of him if he were to suddenly fall out of line. After the battle comes to an end with Hashihime's defeat, Urara thanks her for her devotion and that she will be making her leave. Before this, Urara hears Hashihime's observation on how she is using Maruo as her pawn and asks her if she found this upsetting, to which the border guard answered no since she was happy with the way she turned out.

Before allowing him to enter Kabukicho, Urara warns Maruo of the things he should watch out for but hears him stating his confidence that he will not be overwhelmed by the activities going on. However, upon arriving, Urara sees Maruo ecstatic and comments on him acting like a bumpkin. Urara then gives Maruo a tour around the district to show him how Kabukicho is a place where Ayashimon lure and prey on humans. Later, the two stop at a bar and take note of a dispute between two Ayashimon. To start off their plans in Kabukicho, Urara discusses to Maruo on how they should find a base of operations by stealing an office from a less influential organization but sees Maruo pay more attention to a manga magazine then what she has to say. Maruo tells her that he doesn't need to be let in on the plans since the only thing he has to do is fight off enemies. Seeing as how he is more invested in the manga then what he is getting himself into, Urara asks Maruo if what he is reading is really exciting, to which Maruo answers yes since it is the first time he gets to read a new issue rather than the old ones in the past. After the two disputing Ayashimon cause a scene when the bullying Ayashimon kicks the harassed Ayashimon, Urara is asked by Maruo if they should help. Urara rejects the idea since Kabukicho follows the concept of "survival of the fittest" and believes that he is the perfect target to steal an office from once he leaves the bar. Despite her objection, Urara sees Maruo getting up from his seat to help the harassed Ayashimon and yells at him to sit back down, only to hear her kobun tell her that he might as well quicken the pace of them approaching him for his office. After enraging and blocking a punch from the bullying Ayashimon named Nyudo Inokuma, Urara is told by Maruo that he does not like the idea of "the strong feeding on the weak" and instead prefers "the strong feeding on the stronger".

Urara watches from the sidelines as Maruo fights Nyudo and comments on how irrational he is fighting after using a metal door to block a fire breathing attack. To subdue the flames, Urara advises Maruo to redirect the fire upwards to set off the sprinklers. While finding this to be a good idea, Maruo instead uses his own method by jumping upwards to punch the ceiling, much to Urara's shock, and causes a downpour after destroying the water pipes. Seeing him about to deliver the final blow, Urara yells out to Maruo not to defeat him yet until they set up an official ritual duel. However, Urara's warning comes in too late after Maruo focuses his intention on using a special attack to destroy Nyudo's body. Urara then berates Maruo for his outrageous action that undermines their plan to keep a low profile and offers the bar manager the money that came out of Nyudo. After becoming impressed by Maruo's strength, the harassed Ayashimon named Ten volunteers to take Urara and Maruo to his gang with hopes of being freed from his hard labor.

Upon arriving, Urara takes note of the many gang members present in the office and Ten hiding cowardly behind Maruo after he declares to his gang that they will have no choice but to surrender to Urara and Maruo. The two then become confused as to what was happening in front of them after Ten quickly turns on them for his boss Amamehagi who suddenly appeared behind him. Moving on to the objective at hand, Urara challenges Amamehagi to a ritual duel against Maruo for the office and offers herself if he loses, to which Amamehagi accepts. While the gang sets up the ring, Urara explains to Maruo the concept of the ritual duel and cheers him on after the fight commences. After noticing how Ten wasn't cheering on Maruo or Amamehagi like her and the other Ayashimon, Urara advises him to make up his mind in supporting either one.

Urara witnesses Maruo landing a punch on Amamehagi, after the Ayashimon becomes distracted by Ten making up his mind to cheer on Maruo, and soon berates him for accidentally destroying the office, which results in Maruo winning the match after Amamehagei gets crushed by rubble. While the gang members praise Maruo for his performance in the ritual duel, Urara is thanked by her kobun for the new life she has given him. Seeing as how Maruo survived an accident that caused the death of an Ayashimon, as well as looking back on his previous fights, Urara comes to the conclusion that Maruo is a Marebito, which makes him well-suited to be her pawn in her plans. With the ritual duel over, Urara checks the gang's files for information on the current hierarchy in Shinjuku and learns that the second chairman of the Enma Syndicate is named Doppo Akari. Seeing as how she has Hashihime on her side, Urara figures that she can use her to eventually set up a ritual duel against Maruo and Doppo and avenge her father with Doppo's defeat. After noticing how Maruo and the others ceased their chattering, Urara goes over to check and becomes shocked to see them all frozen. Urara is then spooked by the sudden appearance of an agent from the Onmyo Bureau named Number 11 who came to investigate the destruction of the building. After another agent shows herself, Urara finds herself pinned down by a yokai and is threatened with bodily harm if she tried to resist, which prompts Urara to reach for her tanto. However, before she could use it, Urara is allowed by Number 11 to be released and receives a warning from him as the agents make their leave. Seeing as how the Onmyo Bureau now know of the existence of the Urara Family, Urara decides that her and Maruo's next course of action should be to leave the area immediately.

### Vs. Doppo Arc

*Main article: Vs. Doppo Arc*

Urara decides to have her and Maruo move into an abandoned bar to act as a hide spot and allows Amamehagi's former gang members to help with the move in but becomes displeased with their sloppy work. After overhearing one of the gangsters tell Maruo that it would be best for him to not go outside at the moment due to there being strange activity concerning suited Ayashimon wandering around the streets, Urara walks up to the rooftop with the others to check and notices that the suited Ayashimon have the Enma Syndicate crest, making her realize that the Onmyo Bureau agent informed the syndicate about her and Maruo's appearance in Shinjuku, which meant that Hashihime is in danger. Before they could go back inside to lay low for the time being, Urara runs into Doppo coming up the stairs with his men. Although she tries to pretend to be ignorant and innocent, Doppo tells her that he sees right through her and asked that she look inside his car. Urara then becomes shocked to find Hashihime tied up inside, which results in Doppo being convinced that the two are connected and deciding to take her and the others in. After Doppo grabs her by the arm, Urara becomes nervous after Doppo notices how strange she smelled and is defended by Maruo after her subordinate throws a punch at Doppo. However, Doppo intercepts the attack and prepares to fight Maruo.

Urara tells Maruo that he needs to run instead of facing Doppo but hears him making a point on how the building became barricaded by the Enma Syndicate and that their only way out is by fighting them. She then watches as Maruo gets savagely beaten by Doppo who states his intentions of breaking Urara's spirits by torturing Maruo in front of her. After Maruo becomes unable to fight, Urara contemplates on leaving him behind, reminding herself that he was nothing more than an expendable pawn, but finds herself resorting to bringing out her tanto to use her powers. Before she could release the blade from its sheath, Doppo reacts in shock by the look of the tanto's sheath, which confirmed to him that Urara is Kio's daughter. Urara becomes confused as to how he knew her true identity and becomes further confused after noticing Doppo shed a single tear. Seeing as how her existence was kept a secret, Doppo found Urara to be worthless and orders his men to shoot her. Hearing this, Maruo rushes in to stand in front of Urara as protection, states his gratitude about how her path led him to Doppo, the strongest opponent he has come to face, and demands to the chairman to continue where they left off.

Since Doppo is occupied fighting Maruo, Urara is suggested by Ten to use the opportunity to retreat. However, Doppo traps them in a blizzard to prevent their escape after hearing their attempt, which causes her to accidently let go of her tanto. Before she could retrieve it, Doppo steps in front of Urara to tell her that the blade is now his and that he is ready to kill her, only to be interfered by Maruo who comes into attack. Urara then looks in shock as Maruo is crushed by a large piece of hail thrown down by Doppo. Although Maruo manages to break free, he ultimately falls unconscious trying to throw another attack at Doppo. After Maruo is defeated, Urara sees Ten with her tanto and yells out to him to release the blade from its sheath, resulting in her true form being unleashed and getting passed Doppo and his men to grab Maruo and Ten.

While carrying Maruo and Ten on her back, Urara rushes over to Hashihime, who manages to escape from her bindings, to retreat with her as well. However, after dropping down a large blanket of flames upon them, Doppo prepares to put his mask on to completely thwart Urara's escape. With her form having a one-minute time limit, Urara finds herself in a pinch but is given a chance to retreat after Hashihime chooses to confront Doppo. Urara hesitates to leave Hashihime behind but forces herself to as per her former attendant's request, stating that as Kio's daughter she needed to stay strong.

### Todoroki Alliance Arc

*Main article: Todoroki Alliance Arc*
While trying to outrun two members from the Enma Syndicate before her time in her yokai form expired, Urara is suggested by Ten to enter the Shinjuku Subnade. After doing so, Urara, who reverts back to normal, and Maruo manage to escape from the Enma Syndicate after Ten uses his yojutsu to phase through the connected ceilings, which landed them in an unused tunnel. Urara compliments Ten on how useful his power was and passes out.

After two weeks had passed, Urara wakes up from a dream she had about her father and learns from Ten that he has been attending to her and Maruo, to which she expressed her gratitude. She then finds out from a newspaper that the Enma Syndicate's actions have been covered up due to their connections to the police and assumes that the worse has happened to Hashihime after Ten told her that he was unable to get in contact with her through her work number. As Urara falls into despair over everything that had transpired, Ten suggests to her to give up on her ambitions since they are no match for their enemies. Urara responds back kneeling down and apologizing to both Ten and Maruo, confessing that she was only using them as pawns in her plans to avenge her father and has come to realize that the real reason for her actions is because she wanted to vent out her frustrations due to her conflicting childhood in the past. Seeing her depressed, Maruo gives Urara a manga to read, thinking it might cheer her up, and asks that she not lower her head since she is his boss. Despite her claim, Maruo tells Urara that he did not feel as though she was taking advantage of him and gives his sympathy as to what she was going through. Urara is then told by Maruo that he is willing to continue following her and desires to have a rematch against Doppo. Delighted to hear this from him, Urara states her resolve to also finish what they started and gives Maruo an irezumi bearing their family crest on his back, which she also does for herself.

Seeing as how they needed to gain power quickly, Urara decides that their best course of action is to turn towards the Todoroki Alliance for help, knowing that their leader Kotton was a devoted executive to her father Kio. To make sure that all goes well, Urara orders Maruo not to start any fights with them, to which he agrees to cooperate.

At Shinjuku 04, Urara, Maruo, and Ten approach the Todoroki Alliance and her met with hostility due to them blocking their path on the road. Urara then looks to see Maruo stepping up to confront the biker gang, having interpreted their behavior towards them as a sign that he has to use force to get them to listen to what they have to say, and orders him to refrain from causing a fight as initially planned. Urara then sees Kotton making his appearance to order his men to settle down and asks for a moment of his time to speak with him. Kotton responds by lifting the front tire of his motorcycle and directing it to Urara's head but stops after Maruo shields her. After Maruo angers Kotton by stating their plan to defeat the Enma Syndicate, Urara gets down on her knees and reveals her identity as Kio's daughter with her tanto as proof. Having been convinced, Kotton bows down to Urara as he apologizes for not being by her father's side to prevent his death and swears his, as well as his gang's, fealty to her. Before she could move on to talking about the group's next move, Urara sees Kotton throwing Maruo aside and states his refusal to have him and Ten continue working for Urara, viewing them as being worthless to her. Urara becomes displeased with Kotton wanting to have her abandon her two comrades and rejects his assistance, to which Kotton states his refusal in allowing her to leave his side since he believes it would disrespect the memory Kio left behind. With the two sides disputing with each other, Oboro proposes to Urara in having a tag-team ritual duel where if her side wins then the Todoroki Alliance will submit to her wishes. Urara and Maruo then agree to the challenge.

Seeing as how she is unable to maintain her yokai form for more than a minute, Urara has Ten partner up with Maruo and tells him that she will support him from the sidelines as the two go up against Kotton and Wakku. After the ritual duel commences, Urara becomes worried for Maruo as he is unable to react in time to Kotton's high speed movement and helps him in his fight by using her telepathy to reveal to him Kotton's weaknesses, which is his head and heart-engine, but wonders as to how he could counter his speed. Urara then scolds Maruo for recklessly trying to attack Kotton, which leads to him managing to grab on to a piece of the ittan-momen's loose cloth as he is running, but is told by him that he has a clear mind now that his leader's voice is in his head and strikes Kotton from behind to destroy his heart-engine. However, Urara hears from Kotton that Maruo was too slow in his attack after he managed to catch the blow on time with his body, which leads to Kotton racing up in the air to have Maruo fall to his death.

After Maruo manages to stop himself from falling by punching through the building in front of him, Urara instructs him to drop down to land on a platform so that she can explain her other strategy in defeating Kotton. However, Urara's conversation with him is interrupted after Kotton dives down to attack Maruo again, which leads to her sharing more of Maruo's pain from her telepathy as he falls down. After being noticed by Oboro, Urara covers up her secret communication with Maruo by tell him that she was merely feeling back pain and shifts locations to avoid any further suspicions and continue guiding Maruo. Realizing that cloth gets heavy once it absorbs liquid, Urara instructs Maruo to head to Shinjuku Niagara Falls where he must bait Kotton into getting wet so that his cloth body gets weighed down. While willing to follow her plan, Urara hears Maruo asking why she was helping him since the Todoroki Alliance will serve her even if the Urara Family loses. Urara answers that he, along with Ten, was the only one she can rely on since he is not obsessed with Kio unlike the Todoroki Alliance and the others in Kabukicho.

Urara watches as Maruo tricks Kotton into chasing after him as he heads to Shinjuku Niagara Falls but unfortunately witnesses him creating a cloth parachute to stop his momentum on time as he is about to crash into the fountain. However, Maruo succeeds in making the plan work after jumping from behind Kotton to destroy the fountain and grabbing Kotton by the leg to throw him through the fountain. Urara then rushes over to Maruo as she starts to worry about him and sees him fall unconscious after stating his victory and the fact that he enjoyed his fight. While holding him in her arms, Urara hears Kotton taking note at how Maruo is important to her and receives a compliment from him, stating that she is doing well leading her gang.

Later, the Urara Family rides with the Todoroki Alliance on their motorcycles as they have officially pledged their loyalty towards them and listens to Kotton as he explains the Enma Syndicate's past. While some things become clear to Urara about her father, she is unclear as to why Kio chose Doppo to be his successor. Although they have the support of the Todoroki Alliance, Kotton tells them that they need to find more allies if they want to face the Enma Syndicate in Kabukicho and suggests forming an alliance with Ayakashi ☆ B-Stars.

### Kori Hotel Arc

*Main article: Kori Hotel Arc*
After being informed that Doppo is a hitorima, which makes him impossible to be hit by physical attacks, Urara figures that she needs to plan out a strategy for Maruo to bypass his intangibility. To solve this problem, Kotton and Oboro takes them to a homeless community in Central Park to see Ozunu, a hanyo who can help Maruo fight back against Doppo by teaching him how to use his prana. While leaving Maruo to his training, Urara informs Kotton that only she and Maruo will be the ones to settle the score with Doppo in a ritual duel and leaves off with Ten and Wakku in disguises to meet with Ayakashi ☆ B-Stars in secret. The three locates the club but notices inside that the premises looks more like a cabaret, leading to Urara making up a story to a club member approaching them that she and her friends came for an interview. The three then meet with the club's proprietor and learn from her that the club that they're in, Cabaret Undine, took over Ayakashi ☆ B-Stars, having been arranged by the Enma Syndicate, and that the yakuza group is currently taking over Kabukicho, much to their shock. Having been informed, Wakku makes up a fake excuse to have the three of them leave.

With his three teammates, who came along with them, still wandering around in Kabukicho, Wakku has Urara and Ten report back to Kotton and Oboro while he stays behind to look for them before they run into anyone affiliated with the Enma Syndicate. Although Kotton desires to help his comrades, Oboro objects to doing so since they run the risk of alerting the whole district and suggests putting their faith in Wakku. Later, Urara and the other three found out that Wakku and his three teammates had been dealt with by the Enma Syndicate after finding their remnants in the park with the syndicate's kanji painted on the wall. Urara tries to talk to a frustrated Kotton but hears from him that he is in no mood to speak. Knowing that the Enma Syndicate left off after this action, Oboro believes that they are not aware that they have Urara and suggests to Kotton in figuring out their next move. The four are then met by Inari Aburaya, a junior manager at Kori Hotel who came to inform Kotton that her boss Tamagawa wishes to meet with him. After Kotton refuses, Urara and Oboro advises him to go see Tamagawa to hear what he has to say if there is a possibility of Kori Hotel becoming a potential ally, which he agrees to do.

Urara and Ten accompany Kotton as Inari takes him to the Kori Hotel. After being shown to their room, the three remotely meet with Tamagawa who informs Kotton of the Kori hotel's plan to have the Todoroki Alliance relocate to the Kansai region after viewing the biker gang as a hindrance to the hotel's business. Speaking for Kotton, Urara objects to this decision since she believes that all Ayashimon should focus their attention on taking down the Enma Syndicate for the sake of Kabukicho's future, which Kotton tells Tamagawa that he stands by her statement since the Todoroki Alliance is currently her followers. With this decision made, Tamagawa resorts to holding Urara, Ten, and Kotton hostage within their room where he plans to have them sealed away for a century by exorcists. Urara then takes action by warning Maruo of her situation through her telepathy.

After Urara is alerted by Maruo that he and the Todoroki Alliance have arrived at the hotel to rescue her, Ten, and Kotton, Urara informs her subordinate as to which floor they are being held hostage on and that he and the others only have five hours before the sealing ritual is complete. While patiently waiting for him, Urara listens through her telepathy on the events down at the lobby and becomes aware of Maruo being challenged to a ritual duel by Tamagawa. She is then informed by Kotton that Tamagawa is not to be underestimated in battle, which leads to her being shocked after viewing the hotel manager suddenly turning into Doppo Akari. Urara yells out to Maruo to remain calm as he was not about to face the real Doppo, however, Kotton explains to her that Tamagawa is using a forbidden transformation known as Conceptual Transformation where he is able to make himself into a full clone of his intended target. Though Maruo starts off having trouble against the hitorima flames being released at him, Urara watches as he manages to counter the fire by using the power he learned from Ozunu, leading to him backing Tamagawa into a corner. Refusing to give up the fight, Tamagawa resorts to putting on Doppo's mask to enter the hitorima's yokai form and releases a black liquid towards Maruo that causes him to pass out, resulting in Urara feeling Maruo's pain from the attack.

Urara desperately cries out to Maruo to wake up but is warned by Kotton that it may be too late for him since he is aware that the black liquid the Doppo clone released extinguishes the light from all living things once soaked. With the Doppo clone going on a rampage, Gyobu-Danuki makes the decision to release Urara, Ten, and Kotton from their captivity as he viewed the situation getting worse. The three then race down to the lobby where they find Maruo wake after he hears Urara's voice in his dream, much to her relieve. With the Doppo clone still going on a rampage, Maruo comes up with the idea to use his powers to extract Tamagawa out from the clone in order to put a stop to it and fights alongside his gang and the Todoroki Alliance to do so. As he tries reaching for Tamagawa's spirit, Urara helps Maruo from behind as the clone tries to make him back away with its flames and successfully frees Tamagawa.

After the battle comes to an end, Gyobu-Danuki makes his appearance to declare the two gangs as the victors and offers Maruo and Urara a chance to face Doppo again. Though they are warned by him that there will be dangers along the way, Urara and Maruo both tell Gyobu-Danuki that they will be fine as long as they have each other, along with their other allies that Maruo adds as well.

After some time had passed, Urara and Maruo manage to once again get their audience with Doppo Akari, along with the rest of the Enma Syndicate.

## Abilities and Powers

### Physical Abilities

**Onibashiri** (鬼 (おに) 走 (ばし) り, *Onibashiri*?): In her yokai form, Urara is able to use her clan's Onibashiri that enables her to move at a tremendous speed. When on the move, Urara could cover great distances in a short amount of time that makes it difficult for Ayashimon to keep up with her and can easily kill anyone who gets in her way before they can even react.

**Enhanced Vision**: Urara possesses extremely sharp eyesight. Using a string of her hair as a scope, Urara was able to identify from a considerable distance that a suited Ayashimon was from the Enma Syndicate after spotting the tiny crest pin attached to him.

### Yojutsu

**Inking**: Urara is shown to have the ability to engrave tattoos onto herself or anyone she wishes, which she did with Maruo after her subordinate wanted to bear the Urara Family's crest.

* **Telepathy**: Once Urara engraves an inking onto someone, she can communicate with them telepathically by closing her eyes and her voice will only be heard by that person alone. Her telepathy also causes to have the senses of both her's and the person she is connected to to become one. Therefore, if either her or the linked person feels pain then the other will as well.

## Equipment

**Tanto**: Unlike Ayashimon who have their powers stored within a mask, Urara keeps her powers sealed within a tanto, and once released from its sheath, she will have them granted back to her. According to Hashihime, because her oni powers are so immense, Urara can only use it for one minute and will be completely exhausted for about three full days once her time has run out. After using her powers for the first time, Urara became out cold for about two weeks. Because of this, Urara can only unleash her powers in case of an emergency.

## Trivia

* Since she is a yokai, Urara is much older than a human, as she once told Maruo that she has lived in Japan long before he was born. However, by her race's standards, Urara is a young Ayashimon that has not lived enough years to be considered an adult, which is reflected by her human appearance.
