Yachimari Kukuri (八蜂鞠縊狸), usually written as 八蜂鞠ククリ, is a vocal synth character by Tsuina, the Ogre Hunter Project. She first released on MYCOEIROINK on December 12, 2022.[1]
Her voice is provided by Japanese Voice Actress, Matsushima Tooka (茉嶋とーか).
Concept[]
Yachimari Kukuri is a villain in the lore of Tsuina-chan's story. She is one of the three executives of the Komentou (狐面党), an evil organization that aims to revive the nine-tailed kitsune. She came from the north on a whim, possibly from around the Hokkaido area, and happened to join the Komentou by happenstance. Only the Grand Priest of the Komentou knows of how she came to join the group.
Etymology[]
Appearance[]
For her home casual wear she simply wears a tracksuit, a cotton-padded hanten and round, heavy-graded glasses with thick frames. It is suspected that she wears fake breasts.
Personality[]
Kukuri is described as confident but ruthless and cruel. Although she likes things with a nice aesthetic and beautiful things, she is fickle and surprisingly sloppy. She is also good at coaxing people into talking. She also has wanderlust and a habit of traveling, taking her Kindaichi-like travel bag with her wherever she goes.[2]
Speech Pattern[]
She is easily susceptible to trends, and her speech patterns and outlooks tend to change according to what has current interest. She’s currently really into Taisho and Showa mystery literature so she currently has a weird mix of Tokyo dialect and modern slang in her lexicon. She’ll sometimes use the personal pronoun "Bokaa (僕ぁ)" similar to Kindaichi from The Kindaichi Case Files although it’ll most likely become a cringe-worthy memory for her later on.
Combat Style[]
Kukuri has a tricky fighting style, similar to a certain Joseph Joestar. She uses the power of "Kitsune no Efude" (キツネノエフデ), which is the name of a species of mushroom, where her pheromones are similar to its spores. She can use these spores to draw sigils in the air, curse others or transform herself as a disguise.
When in an emergency crisis she will resort to wielding long weapons. It is surprisingly massive.
It is rumored that when her kitsune mask is destroyed, she reveals her true form. It seems that this is due to her history with Goki, where Kukuri disguised herself as a man and ventured into the mountains. Her signature move is to jump up like a fox hunting and dive down with a bang!
Weapon[]
- Kitsune no Efude (妖狐画筆) - A messenger Kitsune in the form of a naginata, it's usually disguised as a loop tie. It draws slashes in space with spores, which it uses to track its opponents. He also has a cosmetic technique using spores.
- Kikewai (鬼化粧) - Makeup for the Demons. Transforms the appearances of corpse into revived demons.
- Kokkoku Gesho (骨刻化粧) - Makeup for the Bones. Allows one to make use of the honed techniques that have been carved into the bone of one whose flesh has rotted away.
- Okokokoro Zukuri (魂魄化粧) - Makeup for the Soul. Allows one to manipulate the spirit of another person.
Occupation[]
Kukuri is the owner of a shady "antique" store that sells mysterious "magical" artifacts. Although they call themselves a cosmetics and perfume shop the store itself looks like an old antique store that could cave in at any moment. She sells dubious items like "perfume that makes one fall in love", "shoes that make one's legs pretty" and "nail polish that makes one an adult". Although the inventory is more of a mixed bag and its common to see special artifacts displayed right next to regular nick-knacks.
For humans, the store is a place where one can request for illegal services (killing adults or locking children away) but for yokai, the store is where one can get new clothes or a makeover. It seems they may or may not even offer secret services like hit-man or private detective cases.
She can usually be found sleeping on the couch in a dirty room upstairs. She owns a plush of Namidame Koron that she usually sleeps with. (She also seems to be aiming to get Zenki and Goki because of their cute plush forms, although it is noted that Kukuri has a habit of collecting things but growing tired of them after she gets them. She usually leaves the management of the store to her subordinates, Kiiro (黄色) and Ao (青).
Handsign[]
Kukuri's handsign is called the Kubimitsukori (首三つ狐狸, three-necked kitsune'). The foxes on both wrists and the fox on her loop tie indicate three heads. On the surface, the fox appears to be in the foreground, swearing allegiance, but the right hand is faced upside down... The background looks like a tail, a flame, or smoke, so maybe it is wrapped in smoke, but it does not show a tail.
Likes[]
- Hobbies: Killing and eating people, mushroom research, stargazing (particularly fond of the Big Dipper)
- She also has a few notebooks hidden in the back of a bookshelf at the store that are filled with girly and angsty poems, although she sees them as cringeworthy nowadays.
- Likes: Beautiful things, Scents, Rakugo (ghost stories by San'yūtei_Enchō), Showa-era songs (especially Enka)
- Favorite Food: Bake Inari Sushi (with upside-down deep-fried tempura scraps, etc.), Sekihan, Daifuku, Mushroom Soba, Kitsune Soba, Boiled Peanuts, Al Ajillo, Hoppy and Kushikatsu. Once she gets hooked, it'll be the only thing she eats until she gets tired of it. Although she easily gains weight.
- Favorite Flower:
- Hydrangea - in the language of flowers it means "ruthless".
- Tuberose - It is used as an ingredient of perfume and its fragrance becomes stronger in the evening. Does that mean Kukuri's pheromones also become more effective in the evening? In the language of flowers it means "dangerous pleasure," "sensuality," etc.
Dislikes[]
- Dogs
- Exhaust fumes
- Humidity
- Begging for life
- Things that are not beautiful
Relations[]
- Namidame Koron - fellow executive of the Komentou, she has a relationship akin to cats and dogs with her... but the truth is Koron once said "I like you too much that I can't even handle it, it's bothersome..." but Kukuri only heard the second part and started thinking Kukuri has started to hate her and ever since then Kukuri kept her distance from Koron. Whenever Kukuri comes home she says to herself "I said too many terrible things again today too, she's gonna hate me more, what am I gonna do...". Koron calls her "Ku-chan".
- Tanizaki Karin - fellow executive of the Komentou.
- Goki - they have a prior history together.
- Kuriyama (栗山) - Kukuri's male disguise.[3]

Reputation[]
Trivia[]
- Although she is part of the Komentou, which uses the kanji for Kitsune it its name, her name contains the kanji for Tanuki, which is, in Japanese folklore, the rival of the Kitsune, because of this she has a complex about her name.
- She has a preference for men older than 35. She prefers good looking bald men (Sean Connery, Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, etc.). The Grand Priest of the Komentou may or may not fall under this preference.
