**Miurahi** (ミウラヒ, *Miurahi*) is a house tsugumomo and the creator of Mayoiga.

## Appearance

In his human form, Miurahi is a man with lightsking and long light hair. As a result of embedding a Stone Shard within himself, some of the veins around his face and neck have darkened.

He wears a kimono and haori.

## Personality

Miurahi is a kind and welcoming invidivual. Upon reawakening, while introducing himself he immediately apologized for the situation his allies found themselves in. He is extremely considerate, his concern for his fellow tsukumogami being what drove him to form Mayoiga. Miurahi battles Kukuri alone, wanting to avoid needlessly sacrificing comrades and understanding their enemies feel the same. Upon meeting Kukuri herself he greets her with respect and talk before doing battle.

## History

Over a thousand years ago, an eruption of Mount Fuji causes a famine, which resulted in tsukumogami being abused and reverting as their owners died. Miurahi appealed to the god of the land to create a temporary haven for tsugumomo but was denied. Miurahi then began to gather followers and together they killed the land god Iwanagahime in her weakened state. Out of the hundred and eight tsugumomo brought to battle, the only surviving member were Tanmen, Sanjou, Chikage, Shinobu and Miurahi himself. Miuarhi took Iwanagahime's stone shard and embedded it into himself becoming a god. Unable to control the overwhelming curse power coming from the shard, Miurahi shut off his consciousness focusing solely on maintaining Mayoiga. Knowing the shards power was not permanent, Miurahi left a message to the surviving members to gather powerful tsugumomo who had been abandoned to perform the **Onogoro Festival**, killing a land god and acquiring a new shard.

## Plot

### Mayoiga Revolt Arc

Following the revolt in Mayoiga and the return of Akito Ashimine's group from Kamioka, Tanmen has Arumi Ashimine used her powers to see into the future, revealing two Stone Shards. Seeing this premonition, Tanmen decides to reawaken Miurahi. Miurahi introduces himself at Tanmen's meeting and reveals he has learned to control the curse from the stone shard. Tanmen announces they will now begin their full assault in order to take Kukuri's stone shard. At the meeting, Azami tells them not to harm Kamioka's exorcist, to which Miurahi says will be difficult and Tanmen states in unreasonable. Azami begins to emit curse before Akito calms her down, telling her that he will deal with Kazuya and Kiriha so that they are unharmed.

The Mayoiga forces launch their invasion using the ship tsugumomo Mifune's ship to attack. The ship is attacked by Honoka, but Mimane Miyou creates an illusion of the ship to allow Miurahi and his group to sneak past and confront Kukuri. Prior to confronting Kukuri, Miurahi tells the other members of his group not to join the fight, in order to avoid needless sacrifices. Miurahi tells Arumi to use her abilities to warn or intervene if she foresees the battle taking a turn for the worse. Miurahi and Kukuri exchange dialogue before fighting, Miurahi quickly overpowering Kukuri forcing her to remove the barrier around Kamioka so she can fight at full power. Miurahi is quickly overpowered by Kukuri in her fully powered form. As Miruahi attempts a final attack, he is interrupted and killed by Azami who takes his stone shard to reawaken Kanaka Kagami.

### Divine Resurrection Arc

Kazuya and his party venture to Yomi to retrieve Kukuri's soul, arriving at the Yomi Grand Mortuary. There they find she has been possessed by Hollowspine Demons, doing battle with her and a swarm of the demons. Having also been possessed by a Hollowspine Demon, Miurahi ambushes them and incapacitates Shirane Shirahabane. Miurahi battles Taunade and Kyouka while Kazuya battles Kukuri.

## Abilities

**Immense Durability**: Miurahi was able to survive an enhanced Minazuchi from a fully powered Kukuri which could shatter the earth beneath him and still expressed a desire to keep fighting.

* **Demon Pillar** (鬼柱(おんばしら),, *Onbashira*): Miurahi manifests a huge wooden pillar bound in rope with talismans adorning it. He then throws the pillar with immense force like a spear, battering down his targets with the large, blunt tip which delivers heavy damage.
	+ **Demon Pillar, Fivestem** (鬼柱五茎(おんばしらごけい),, *Onbashira Gokei*): Miurahi manifests five identical pillars simultaneously and throws them all at once, creating a barrage of battering rams to overwhelm his target.
