An Ao Andon (青行燈), also known as Aoandon, is a yōkai born from the fear of all mortals.[1] Their title translates to the "blue lantern" or "blue light."
Mythology[]
An Ao Andon has an appearance of a demonic woman with blue skin, two horns atop its head, and sharp teeth.[2]
History[]
In 1582, the yōkai, disguised as woman named Chitose, was on a task to meet and claim the soul of Mamushi, a monk-turned demon hunter, for his disbelief of her kind. On their travels, Ao Andon came across a deranged and beastly monk in Kabasaka Village, Tamba. While under the guise of Chitose, she and other villagers were held hostage by a beastly, tall monk, whose nature was rumored to be that of one of the Taka Nyudo. The monk was soon defeated by Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke, who were tasked by Mamushi to investigate these yōkai claims. Chitose thanked them for their aid and left the village after stating that they intend to meet Mamushi to tell him "tale of her own."[1]
At Nyoiji Daiji Temple, Ao Andon revealed themselves to Mamushi and confronted him on his fears. Taking his life, Ao Andon was soon found by Naoe and Yasuke, who was shocked by the reality of the yōkai's existence. In front of them, Ao Andon closed the door and told them of making Mamushi believe before taking his life. Immediately, she engaged and attacked outside the temple. Yet, their fight ended in their "death" as they dissipated in blue smoke right afterwards.[1]
Personality and traits[]
In her human disguise as the poet Chitose, they appeared a shy, timid, but cryptic woman. In their true form, the Ao Andon appeared with their blue complexion, dark forehead markings, twin horns, and sharp teeth. Along with their warped voice, they had the ability of telekinesis, superhuman strength, and wielded dual tantōs as their main weapons.[1]
