Mamizou Futatsuiwa (二ッ岩 マミゾウ, ro. Futatsuiwa Mamizou) is a Tanuki, first appearing in Ten Desires as the boss of the extra stage.
Concept
Based on Danzaburou Danuki of Sado Island, one of the most famous tanuki in Japanese folklore, along with Hage Danuki of Yashima and Shibaemon Tanuki of Awaji Island. He was the boss of tanuki on Sado, who drove off the foxes from the island. [1] In another, Danzaburo was a money lender, who freely loaned money to the people. He was also said to be responsible for mirages at Futatsu-iwa, a rock formation in Aikawa, Sado. [2]
Name
Futatsuiwa (二ッ岩) literally translates to "two stones", perhaps a reference to the tanuki's inflatable testicles, but also a location in Sado where tanuki were prevalent.
Appearance
As with most Tanuki from Japanese myths, Mamizou carries a bottle of sake and a booklet of promissory notes.
Occupation
Her role is to become a strong ally in the youkai forces.
Relationships
Mamizou is friends with Nue Houjuu and is living at Byakuren Hijiri's temple.
