Mamizou Futatsuiwa (二ッ岩 マミゾウ Futatsuiwa Mamizou) is a Bake-danuki, first appearing in Ten Desires as the Extra Stage boss. She is an extremely strong monster tanuki, summoned by Nue Houjuu during the events of Ten Desires in order to act as the Myouren Temple's trump card against the newly-arrived residents of the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum, particularly Toyosatomimi no Miko. She is able to morph both herself and other creatures into different forms.

Concept

ThGKMamizou.png

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. [2] 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. [3]

Name

Futatsuiwa (二ッ岩) literally translates to "two stones", perhaps a reference to the bake-danuki's inflatable testicles, but also a location in Sado where bake-danuki were prevalent. Mami (マミ) may have been a reference to mami (魔魅) which means "deceiving spirit" or mami () which means "badger" or "racoon dog".

Appearance

Mamizou has brown eyes and light-brown, shoulder length hair. She is featured with raccoon ears and a tail. On her head there lays a green leaf and she has glasses. She has a ecru shirt and her skirt is red-grey with some patterns on it. As with most bake-danuki from Japanese myths, Mamizou carries a bottle of sake and a booklet of promissory notes.

When visiting the Human Village she is using a human disguise. without her raccoon ears or tail. In this forms she has long hair.

Occupation

Her role is to become a strong ally in the youkai forces. She did provide loans and other assistance to humans in her pre-Gensokyo days.

Personality

A faintly mischievous but good natured woman, proud of the esteem her race has. She isn't one to really take a grudge, but as Marisa in her extra stage shows she has her limits of niceness. Despite being brought in as a 'trump card', she is noted to being friendly with humans, and has been seen taking on the form of a human while in the Human Village.

Story

Mamizou, Kyouko, and Kogasa at the Hakurei Shrine in Wild and Horned Hermit
Ten Desires

Mamizou is secretly called in by Nue Houjuu from the outside world to become a strong ally on the youkai side against Toyosatomimi no Miko and her faction. She arrives late however and Miko had already been defeated by the heroines. She later takes up residence at Myouren Temple.

In Reimu's story, Mamizou reveals that she crossed the sea of Sado in order to reach Gensokyo and criticizes Reimu for underestimating the vastness of the sea.

Mamizou sees through all of Marisa's lies. She also notes that her power is strong enough to be "within the top three" of the transforming tanuki in Japan.

Despite Sanae's mission to exterminate youkai, the two appear to have a friendly duel. Sanae, though, assumes that the bake-danuki is fairly old due to her language—many of the inflections and word choices used by older people in Japan resemble those used decades, even centuries, ago—and in this misunderstanding gives the youkai some encouragement. Mamizou tells her that her old language is merely a habit.

Mamizou tells Youmu that she came to give the youkai there some encouragement in their fight against Toyosatomimi no Miko. She offers to train Youmu, and after she is defeated, jokes that the half-ghost is worthy to be her apprentice. Mamizou does not appear to know about the Myouren Temple itself until Youmu explains, and finds the presence of both a youkai temple and a youkai-exterminating shrine (the Hakurei Shrine) in Gensokyo quite interesting. Mamizou invites her into the temple to rest and to talk about Sado.

Mamizou disguised as a human in Forbidden Scrollery
Wild and Horned Hermit, chapter 9

After a strange 'black mist' assails the residents of the Myouren Temple and others, Mamizou pays a visit to the Hakurei Shrine accompanied by Kogasa Tatara and Kyouko Kasodani, suspecting Reimu Hakurei as the culprit. However, Suika Ibuki soon reveals herself as the true attacker, and the three youkai appear to leave during the chaos.

Forbidden Scrollery, chapter 4

Relationships

Nue Houjuu

Nue Houjuu was the one to call Mamizou to Gensokyo, and they are described as being friends.

Byakuren Hijiri

She is currently living at Byakuren Hijiri's temple.

Other residents of the Myouren Temple

Kyouko claims that Mamizou will listen to the problems and concerns of those living at the temple with open ears.

Additional Information

Trivia

  • She is the first female character in the Windows series to wear glasses. The first in the entire series is Rikako.
  • Whenever she launches an attack her leaf playfully flaps on top of her head.

Fanon

  • Because of her name, many fans depicted her in many situations that were similar to those experienced by Mami Tomoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica due to its popularity.
  • Some fans depict her as Mamio, referencing Mario, who could wear a Tanooki suit in Super Mario Bros. 3.
  • Since her profile says she dislikes foxes and may cause trouble with the foxes of Gensokyo, fans depict her as having an antagonistic relationship with the kitsune Ran Yakumo.
  • While bake-danuki usually have large testicles, since she is a female (or at least, in the form of one), many fans depicted her with large breasts to compensate for that.
    • Though in certain rather rare NFSW pictures, she does live up to the expectations of her species.
  • There have been various fanart of her using her transformations to tease the original person, sometimes with an obvious chest difference (which often leads to breast envy in the original girl)
  • She has been shown to be an older sister figure to Nue and some other characters in fanart.

Mamizou Futatsuiwa TD ○エキストラボス  化け狸 十変化

  二ッ岩 マミゾウ(ふたついわ まみぞう)
  Hutatsuiwa Mamizou

  種族:化け狸
  能力:化けさせる程度の能力


  由緒正しき化け狸。
  幻想郷の外に住んでいた、珍しい妖怪である。
  今回は、旧友のピンチと言う事でわざわざやってきたのだ。

  狸は人を化かして戸惑う姿を見るのが大好物で、直接被害を与えたりする事は余りない。満月の夜になると力が増す。

  化けさせるという意味では鵺とは似たもの同士である。結局お互い、直接戦闘に役に立つ妖怪ではないようだ。

  こんな妖怪を呼んたところで、神子に対抗できるのだろうか。
  結局、妖怪達は自分勝手であり、統率を取ろうとしないのでいくら単体が強かろうとも、負けるときは負けるのである。


  彼女は地元(佐渡)では人間と共に暮していたようである。
  時には騙したりしていたが、貧しい人にはお金を貸したり、仕事を依頼されれば遂行したりと、ちゃんと人間社会に溶け込んでいたようだ。


  しかし、狐とは仲が悪く、その為佐渡には狐が棲んでいないという噂だ。
  幻想郷の狐達と一悶着起こすことになるのだが、それはまた別のお話。

Extra Boss The Bake-Tanuki with Ten Transformations


Mamizou Futatsuiwa

Species: bake-danuki
Ability: Disguising things and herself

A bake-danuki of proper upbringing.
An unusual youkai that lived outside of Gensokyo.
She's made her way inside this time to help out an old friend in a pinch.

Tanuki take great pleasure in watching the reactions of humans that they trick, so they seldom do direct damage. They are more powerful on the night of a full moon.

Their ability to shapeshift makes them similar to the nue in a way. Neither of them seem to be terribly effective youkai when it comes to close combat.

Can this kind of youkai really hold her own against Miko? After all, youkai are fairly self-centered and don't take or give orders easily, so no matter how strong each one of them may be, they'd still lose in the end.


It seems she'd lived together with humans in her home town (Sado). Sometimes she'd trick them, but she'd also lend money to the poor and worked diligently on any task she was given, so she integrated well into human society.


However, She doesn't get along with foxes, so it is rumored that no foxes live in Sado.
She would end up causing trouble with the foxes of Gensokyo, but that's a story for another day.
