★ Androgynous Yokai - The spirit's skin is a solid silver, reflective enough to see yourself in when their tendons flex and it stretches in just the right way. A face that could be either male or female, made more otherworldly by the faint glowing blue light radiating from their otherwise featureless eyes. Adding to the gender enigma is a lump on one side of his chest, resembling very much a woman's breast. They wear a simple cloth vest, with loose capris shorts just past their knees...below which are highly stained, almost tarnished feet. Oddly, around their neck is a spotless pair of rice sandals like a necklace.
★ Kozakuran Steel - The sword that ultimately became Utsuri was crafted by a reclusive master of the Soshu Kitae style (7 layer method): a soft, flexible steel core flanked by 2 intermediate grades, with edge, back, and 2 blade ridges of the hardest grades...7 layers merged into one blade. He was worn by 3 generations of Todahiro samurai...a proud family of warriors ultimately wiped out during the Hojo War by another branch of their own family. It was a battle for succession to the shogun's throne the Todahiro lost...and lying in the fields of blood, as the cherry trees blossomed, the blade gained sentience -- became a tsukumogami.
★ Winds of Basho - A much older companion spirit lives in Utsuri's shakuhachi (bamboo flute), and manifests itself as the lump on Utsuri's chest...calling itself Basho. The comical perverted riddle master is nevertheless a sage of the Eight Million Gods, an ancient faith constituted more of a variety of rituals as opposed to a clear formal doctrine. Their relationship is blurred between that of being one single entity, being student and teacher on the path of enlightenment, and being close drinking buddies.
