Hasinaw-uk was a commonly worshipped Kamui in Ainu tradition, her worship was thought to lure animals towards hunters. Though not one of the original Heavenly Kamui Hasinaw-uk is still considered to be among the higher ranks of the Kamui.

## Appearance

Hasinaw-uk is usually seen as a traditional Ainu woman with long hair and a bow. Though like most Kamui she's able to shapeshift into other forms, commonly seen in bird form to guide hunters towards prey.

## Personality

Hasinaw-uk is one of the most stoic of the Kamui, always seen with an air of professionalism. Unlike most of the other Kamui who are more lax, Hasinaw-uk takes her job as the hunting goddess very seriously, often times refusing to take breaks. However she does hold a soft spot for humanity, assisting them in hunts and protecting them from Kunne-Kamui.

Hasinaw-uk holds a special distain for a particular Kunne-Kamui, that of Kenas-unarpe; the Kamui of blood. The two share mutual distain as Hasinaw-uk puts priority on killing Kenas-unarpe whenever she emerges from Teinei-pokna-moshiri.

After the universe had been created the heavenly Kamui of plants Shiramba formed two separate Kamui from a Fire Drill. These two Kamui were the Kamui of tools and the hunt Hasinaw-uk, along with the Kamui of the Hearth and fire Huci. Hasinaw-uk served as the mediator between the animals and the Kamui.

Kotan-kar later had an idea to create a their own grandchildren and called upon Hasinaw-uk, Huci, the wolf Kamui Horkew, and the bear Kamui Kim-un. These four Kamui served as the basis of Humanity: Intelegent, peaceful, communal, and strong. Because of their connection Hasinaw-uk became very attached to the newly formed humans.

Humans using the ingenuity she provided them crafted many tools in Hasinaw-uk's image. However the humans still struggled to find prey, pitying the humans Hasinaw-uk decided to help humanity by guiding them to suitable prey, as long as they respected the animals who gave their lives to feed them.

However as with the rest of the Kamui, the shadow casted from Hasinaw-uk created a Kunne-Kamui by the name of Kenas-unarpe. Kenas-unarpe the Kamui of blood emerged from the ground and besieged humanity. She would transform herself into the likeness of Hasinaw-uk and lure young hunters into her abode to kill them and consume their blood. Enraged by Kenas-unarpe's desecration of both herself and of the humans she watched over, tracked down the Kunne-Kamui eventually finding her abode by following a young man who was being lured by Kenas-unarpe. Hasinaw-uk fought Kenas-unarpe in its murder cave eventually killing her and saving the hunter.

Like all Kamui Kenas-unarpe reformed in Tenei-pokna-moshiri and emerged from the ground many other times to menace humanity, however Hasinaw-uk would always hunt her down and kill her.
