Nemuno Whos Who.png
(さか) () ネムノ Nemuno Sakata
ZUN ZUN
ヤマンバと言えば、明るい色の髪の毛にガングロのコギャル……もとい昔話に登場する妖怪で、ボサボサ頭にボロを纏った姿で描かれることが多いですね。彼女もそれに倣ってデザインしました。ぱっと見、大布一枚巻いただけの未開の服装に見えて、布の端のボロボロの部分は綺麗に切り込みになっていたりと、意外とお洒落に気を使っているようですね。 When thinking of yamanba[1] a ganguro kogyaru with brightly colored hair came to mind[2]...anyway they're a type a of youkai that appear in old tales, often drawn having unkept hair and wearing rags. I designed her to emulate that look. Upon first glance it just looks like she's wearing simple peices of cloth wrapped around her but the tattered edges of those clothes appear to be beautifully uniformly cut. Surprisingly, it seems she's fashion-conscious.

ネムノは鉈を持ったキャラなので、鉈をザシュザシュっと振り回している勢いが感じられるように、円弧を描きつつ筆のカスレ成分も多めに入れてみました。 Nemuno's a character with a distinctive nata cleaver so I drew an arc with a lot of ink blots to simulate the momentum of a swinging blade.

Personality
Nemuno is a yamanba living on Youkai Mountain. In stage 2 of Hidden Star in Four Seasons, she fought against the protagonist who got lost in her territory while looking for clues on resolving the incident.
山姥は妖怪の山に住んでいるものの、河童や天狗などのように組織的な行動はせず、ほかの種族と不可侵の役定を結んで独自の聖域に籠って生活している。ネムノのほうも外に出ないため謎が多いが、迷い込んだ相手を気に入れば親切にされることもあるという。 Although yamanba live on Youkai Mountain, they don't form societies like the tengu or kappa. Instead they live solitary lives in their own sanctuaries formed by creating nonaggression pacts with other races. Many unknowns surround Nemuno because of her solitude, but she is known to help people who get lost in her territory...if she likes them.




  1. Yamanba is also the name of a early 2000s Japanese fashion trend and subculture whose main elements included darkening skin and lightening hair. It was named so due to a percieved resemblance to traditional descriptions of yamanba, who were said to have dark skin and white hair.
  2. In the Strange Creators of Outer World Hidden Star in Four Seasons interview, ZUN said he orignally wanted to design Nemuno with yamanba gyaru elements.
