Katsushika Hokusai (Oei)

An ukiyoe artist from the second half of the Edo period.

The strange octopus 'pops'. His daughter and assistant, 'Katsushika Oui (Oei)'. A pair of Servants that introduce themselves as 'Katsushika Hokusai'. An octopus that usually just floats about without saying anything, and his daughter Oei who doesn't seem bothered by her father's transformation.

Once she grabs a brush, father and daughter become as one, and they fiercely display the painting talent that conquered all the streets of Edo. Hokusai's desire to master the way of painting, was something that, unlike the limits a normal person could reach in their lifetime, opened up new frontiers. The works he left behind made an impression on many people, and there were countless of those who sought to continue Hokusai's legacy.

In addition to "Katsushika Hokusai", he had over 30 other pen names like "Gakyo Rojin" and "Sori". As a painter representing Japan, he had a great influence on foreign painters and musicians such as Gogh and Debussy. Known for his terribly fast brush strokes, he left behind 30,000 works in his lifetime. The aforementioned works range from ukiyo-e woodblock prints to paintings done by hand, manga (different from modern manga), and shunga (pornographic art). In his later years, he was living together with his third daughter, "Katshushika Ōi" who worked as his assistant. His most important works are the woodblock print series. At some point on his life Katsushika encountered an Outer God. Most ordinary humans would have been rendered hopelessly insane or turned into mindless thralls by its presence, but sheer stubbornness and dedication to portray what he had seen on his own terms allowed him to keep his mind intact. When summoned as a servant he is just an small octopus that floates, that's the main reason why he has to be summoned along with his daughter Oei

Katsushika Oei's appearance

Oei, the main body of the saint graph Has distinctive blue-tinted black hair worn in a traditional Japanese style Wears white and blue traditional Japanese clothing (kimono), she is pale as any other japanese would, her hair along with her eyes are a dark purple. The octopus she calls "Toto-sama" (The actual Hokusai) is a small octopus that carries a brush, even then Hokusai has lost his human form, along with his daughter he is still capable of making paintings.

Katsushika Oei's personality:

Oei is characterized by her sharp tongue and direct manner of speaking, often coming across as blunt or sarcastic. Despite this outward attitude, she shows deep dedication to her art and takes great pride in her work. She has a strong independent streak and can be quite stubborn about doing things her own way. Ōei is shown to have a complex relationship with her father's legacy. While she respects his work immensely, she also strives to establish her own identity as an artist rather than just being "Hokusai's daughter." This creates an interesting dynamic where she both honors and tries to step out of her father's shadow. In her interactions with the protagonist, she tends to be straightforward but not unkind, often showing her passion for art and encouraging others to appreciate the beauty in the world around them. she was raised in Edo with a strong frank attitude. she puts emphasis on style and taste, and don't really bother with small details. Not very good with gloomy moods. Cleaning, cooking, and basically all house chores are trivial and completely ignored by them. Along with her father, They love Amazake and sweet bean jam-filled rice cakes. Also of course, beauties. Strangely, Hokusai doesn't drink nor smoke, meanwhile, Oei is somewhat fond of both, though alcohol only in small quantities, and for reasons, she's currently stopped smoking. She has a very marked accent, cutting down the words like instead of saying "What are you doing" she says "What'dya doing?", her voice is soft even when she is beeing cheeky.

When possesed by her father, her personality changes as well, she gets bolder and even more demanding, most of the time she holds a smirk on her face, it is clear that whatever she has in mind when possesed is no good.

Katsushika Oei's abilities: In life, Hokusai posssessed a vast collection of resources he used as a source of inspiration for his work. It is speculated that his link to an Evil God was born when he painted a sea devil described in a Grimoire from overseas related to the Sunken Spiral Castle

Katsushika Oei believes that she's on a whole other level compared to other Servants by virtue of being a Foreigner. The reason for this is that they are supposed to be a Threat to Humanity. Mash Kyrielight explains that Foreigners can turn the laws of the World on their head, however, Oei has kindly agreed to keep herself on check to help Chaldea with their mission.

Oui uses a paintbrush approximately the size of her body to make paintings that can physical interact with the world. She has a collection of smaller brushes she uses as melee weapons, or throw them as projectiles. Her father also aids her by spewing the enemy with ink
