Stage 3 Boss: Clerical God of Hell's Checkpoint

Kutaka Niwatari

Species: God
Ability: Capable of healing throat illnesses

The guard of the checkpoint leading to various Otherworlds, such as Hell and the land of oni.
Her job is to distinguish betwen humans and oni, and sort them into their respective locations.

In her appearance here, the yama have informed her of a human who wanted to enter Hell, but she was worried about how the human would fare in Hell, so she decided to test their strength.

Her place of work is at Higan, but she doesn't spend most of her time there. She seems to typically reside at the top of a waterfall on the Youkai Mountain, in a spot with a beautiful view.

Her true identity is that of Niwatarijin, the god of wild chickens from before they were domesticated. People tend to think of chickens as being sort of weak and cowardly, but she's a polite and just god who values equality and altruism above all.

She's quietly considering what she can do to help raise the status of chickens, who've been reduced to a food source for humans.
