Today's blog post is about Awashima from the show Nura: Rise Of The Yokai Clan. Awashima is a Yokai, and he is one of the Yokai from the Tono Village. Much like how some of the other Yokai change forms at night, Awashima changes at night as well. He is a male Yokai during the day, but he changes into a female Yokai during the night. He doesn't like being looked down upon or underestimated because of his female form, since he considers himself to be male at heart. While he was in his female form, Awashima explained that his name comes from Izanami's (a "heavenly angel") and Izanagi's (a "raging demon") second child, which was neither a male or a female. Because of this, he has one technique called Perfect Motherhood, Izanami, and a technique called Perfect Fatherhood, Izanagi. He also has a technique he can use while in his female form called Dance Of The Battle Maiden.
