Izanami

Izanami is a fallen member of the Japanese pantheon - indeed she was the original "all-mother" of the pantheon who helped to shape much of the Yōkai World alongside her husband, Izanagi.

Yet after giving birth to Kagutsuchi she was apparently killed due to the alien nature of Kagutsuchi, this enraged Izanagi and he beheaded his own son and was banished from the Council of Godheads as a result.

However, Izanami did not truly die - instead she was transferred to Yomi, a hell-dimension in which she grew to become a powerful Hell-Lord in her own right, reviving Kagutsuchi to act as her enforcer she seeks to corrupt the Yōkai World as well as other realms of gods and mortals alike: the exact reasons for her corruption or actions are still unknown but she is a bitter, twisted soul who will do anything to ensure her own victory, up to and including the sacrifice of her many grandchildren and their young.
