Hisami Yomotsu (豫母都 日狭美, Yomotsu Hisami) is a character who debuts in Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost.

General Information

Hisami is a subordinate to Zanmu Nippaku. She follows her to her every whim and strives to please her in any way. She is tasked to drag people into hell.

Personality

Hisami has a very eerie demeanour that betrays her otherwise captivating appearance. For one, her one-sided obsessiveness towards Zanmu Nippaku. She goes on to stalk her on whatever chance she gets and tries to please her when nearby. She is also somewhat of a masochist when dealing with Zanmu. When Suika tells her that she will get scolded for insubordination, she explicitly tells her that she wants to get scolded. When she returns to Zanmu to report on her findings, she then requests Zanmu to scold her.

Despite her eerieness, she's also somewhat friendly when Zanmu isn't in the picture. She shares her reward with the people she falls into hell, which makes her rather well-liked by her victims. Her unpredictability is pronounced to the point that even Zanmu has trouble making her behave as she desired.

Abilities

Never let anything slip from her grasp

Hisami can never let anything slip from her grasp. This ability aids her assignment of dragging people into Hell. If her target runs away, she will chase them to the ends of the earth and it's said that it's very likely that her target will fall into Hell the moment she sets her sights on them.

Occupation

Hisami is a "catch" whose job is to lure people into Hell. She achieves this by luring them with her looks and sweet words, as well as promising to share the compensation she receives for bringing them. For each soul she drags into hell, she gets paid for it. However, she drags more people into hell than necessary which prompts the Yama to monitor her work ethic.

Background Information

Origin

Hisami is based on the Yōkai Yomotsu-Shikome, a female Oni that dwells in Yomi, the land of the dead. They are always depicted as ugly creatures which is ironic as Hisami is described as beautiful. Hisami's ability is based on the Shikome's legend when they were tasked by Izanami to chase and catch Izanagi who ran away from her after seeing her decayed self. Izanagi was only able to escape their grasp by throwing his headdress and comb, which turned into grapes and bamboo shoots respectively, distracting them from their assignment.

Name

Her full name is Hisami Yomotsu (豫母都 日狭美). Out of her given name, Hi ( 日) means "day", sa ( 狭) means "narrow", and mi ( 美) means "beautiful". Out of her surname, Yo ( 豫) means "relaxed", mo ( 母) means "mother", and tsu (都) means "capital". Her given name Hisami comes from an alternate name of her species, Yomotsu-hisame (黄津日狭女), as recorded in the Nihon Shoki. Her surname Yomotsu was taken from her species' name, but its specific spelling (豫母都) comes from an instance of it recorded in the Kojiki.

Design

Hisami is defined as a fairly tall beautiful woman with long, jet-black hair that reaches past her back. She appears to have purple eyes that are mostly concealed from her purple headdress is reminiscent of a widow's veil. The veil, which looks like petals, has two layers: one that is transparent from the side and the other opaque that covers most of her eyes. The veil also has four green leaves that protrude at the top of the veil. The front of the veil resembles the flower of a Lobelia species, particularly Lobelia erinus.

She wears a purple china dress designed with light purple leaves decorated across the dress and grapes attached to a grapevine, which symbolizes her species' lore. It has a slit on the right side, likely to give her leg more space to move. Its sleeves are ruffled to look like leaves and it has a tiny but noticeable V-neck. She wears black long-sleeved gloves and what appears to be black long boots.

○Beautiful Stalker of Hell Species: Yomotsu-shikome Name: Hisami Yomotsu Ability: Capable of never letting anything slip from her grasp A beautiful "catch" for Hell, who uses sweet words to drag anyone who carelessly approaches Hell down into it. She tries to lure people into Hell with words, but if her target runs away, she'll chase them to the ends of the earth. If you end up targeted by her, you're very likely to end up falling into Hell. She apparently receives compensation for each soul she drags to Hell. She promises that she'll share the compensation with dead souls, and thus lures them in. And she apparently does share the compensation sometimes, so she's not disliked by humans who go to Hell. Thanks to her, more spirits fall into Hell than otherwise planned, so the Yama is monitoring her. She has a one-sided adoration for Zanmu, a strange monk who rules over Hell despite being human. But she often gives excessive cooperation to her plans, to the point where it tends to get in the way. She's one of the few individuals who doesn't behave according to Zanmu's predictions.
