Izumo-no-Okuni

Territory Creation (Kagura): C

As a Mage, one can create an advantageous position for themselves.

It is possible for Okuni to form a kabuki dance stage.

Item Creation (Karakuri): C

The ability to create magical tools. The technique to perform maintenance on mechanical dolls.

New Okuni Kabuki: EX

The true worth of Okuni Kabuki, which is constantly taking in new things and continues to evolve.
“Ms. Okuni here shall show others that she will spread smiles to the people and enjoyment to society! I’m a faddist? Yes, that’s right!”
Of course, there are also times where the things that were taken in are taken out, so with that being the case, there is a degree of effectiveness in this further being an exciting style where the things going in of style and the things going out of style are but two sides of the same coin.

Theatrical Wild Dancing: B

A combat art that is passed down among sealing shrine maidens.

Okuni can manipulate an oodachi that can even compare with her stature with ease, using it to slay numerous demons.

Doll Kagura: A

Okuni’s unique Magecraft where she manipulates karakuri that are charged with her Magical Energy by dancing. She exhibits that graceful, as well as magnificent, kagura dance in a powerful combination with Zanzaburou, who is her personal Magecraft Mystic Code.

Sealing Shrine Maiden: B+

A Skill that denotes a shrine maiden who accumulated special training in order to use Magecraft rituals for the sake of sealing demons. One can conclude that not everyone can master this, and it also largely depends on one’s innate abilities. This training was done since early childhood, and it was not even rare for someone to lose their life while in the middle of their training.

The one called Zanzaburou is a karakuri warrior, but its original body, which became the basis for Zanzaburou, was the remains of an olden god that had been sealed away in Izumo. It is being thought that, since Okuni arbitrarily took its original powers out and completely remade it into her personal Mystic Code, those powers have been lost. Although it is a karakuri, something like a will can be barely felt from it too, and there are even occasions where it feels like it is protecting Okuni out of its own volition.

Okuni Juuhachi-Ban – Izumo Aragami Kabuki (Okuni’s Repertoire of 18 Kabuki Plays – The Kabuki About the Wild God of Izumo)

The demon exorcism program treasured by Okuni, who is also a kagura-dancing shrine maiden from Izumo. Her strongest technique even among the kabuki programs in her repertoire that are numbered from 1 to 18. An ultra combination attack between Okuni – who dances with an oodachi in one hand – and Zanzaburou.

A unique Noble Phantasm where Okuni’s way of life of always pursuing the expression of new styles is sublimated, so even after she is summoned, the form and special characteristics of this Noble Phantasm can progressively change into something that is more aligned towards those new styles that Okuni is currently pursuing.

It is often thought that the attacks that are being done consecutively is the main part of this Noble Phantasm, but the true value of this Noble Phantasm is actually the stage itself that Okuni deploys. The Magical Energy that is continuously being knitted over the body of Okuni, who is a sealing shrine maiden, spreads out to the target’s surroundings according to Okuni’s intricate Magical Energy manipulation, which is being done by means of her kagura dance, and that surrounding Magical Energy turns into a great sealing Bounded Field formation that seals any demon.

Motivation · Attitude towards Master

Okuni takes a liking to her Master as a spectator who makes her feel pleasant.

Historical Image · Character Image

A performer from the Azuchi-Momoyama Period. It is told that Okuni is also the founder of the kabuki dance, and it is said that the dance went through various changes, which led to the kabuki of today.

It is said that Okuni is a shrine maiden from Izumo who went on a tour through various provinces and performed her dances. It is also being said that the purpose of her doing this was for the sake of raising funds for the Izumo Grand Shrine, but that is not certain. Okuni’s kabuki dances attained immense popularity, and it became something that captivated people all over society.

But before long, the influential people at the time shunned Okuni’s kabuki dances as something that corrupts the public morals, and it was passed around among people that Okuni had aimlessly begun a trip to who knows where.

Character Image in “FateGO”

Although Okuni has the appearance of a beautiful girl who looks elegant, her real nature is comparatively playful. The Ayakashi Hunter who dances and fights together with Zanzaburou, the mechanical armoured warrior. She was originally someone who originated from a village that eradicates malignant spirits by making use of Izumo’s Spiritual Evocation, but due to a certain matter, she left Izumo to embark on a trip and travel around the whole country. She pushes on with her speciality, the kagura dance, in the middle of her journey, and she hopes she can continue to change the sadness of this society into smiles with her newly completed kabuki dance.

Whether it is a lie, or the truth, the karakuri warrior that Okuni took along with her is an ancient implement used in religious ceremonies that came to Izumo from time immemorial, and Okuni performed her own modifications to it and is using it as her personal Mystic Code. Although she has been calling it Zanzaburou, it was originally the broken remains of an olden god, or something like that.

General Armaments

Her very flashy Izumo Oodachi, and the mechanical warrior doll, Zanzaburou.

Connections with Characters

Oda Nobunaga

“Lord Nobunaga, who loves new things and also has an appreciation of kabuki, is absolutely a good patron.”

Hashiba Hideyoshi

“Flamboyant as well as playful, it’s possible to say that he is indeed the creator of an enjoyable society. It’s also really good that he doesn’t care about his expenses!”

Tokugawa Ieyasu

“Ms. Okuni here had thought that the storm of regulations on Okuni Kabuki was the height of tactlessness. There’s something often said: “Fish will not live in water that is too clean.””

Shinsaku Takasugi

“That fucking president. In SAITAMA, it was a relationship of us using each other without having our true intentions displayed to each other, but Ms. Okuni’s feeling where she thinks he’s a shitty president is genuine! I mean, are you still alive, you shitty president!?”

Himiko

“Regarding Japan’s oldest super shrine maiden, who is also my great super senior, I can’t help but respect her, but regarding the fact that she was an overwhelmingly super power-type shrine maiden, I still can’t hide my astonishment at that.”

Shakespeare, Andersen

“I have a feeling that I want to request even a stage script from them for the sake of Okuni Kabuki in the new era.”

For someone who would be going up on stage, I finished up Okuni gorgeously. I had thought ‘It seems difficult for her to move in battle since she was completed with a detailed design, right?’, but she moves well; she moves so well…! Whether she is chattering or fighting, I love how gorgeous she is doing so. As for Zanzaburou, there was an idea in the early stages of its design where it was something like a hero robot too. (NOCO)
