She remains one of the key figures within the Taimanin setting, even in other spin-offs.

A Koukawa clan Taimanin, of a side branch of the clan that protects the main branch. She's the original Oboro that in a fight with Black in the Koukawa Massacre, almost lost her life, she transferred her soul into a different host body with her ability "Cicada Shell Art". Her corpse was seized and turned into Asagi's arch enemy, "Oboro". She remained hidden afterward and joined the UFS, as a chief of the DSO Japanese branch. She has a strong, almost motherly bound to Asuka.

Personality Oboro is mysterious and Stoic, she gives off a certain air of respect, without a need for harsh words or violence. As more of a pragmatist, she thinks that some morally gray actions are justified, deceives friend and foe, working with unscrupulous people and dirty tricks are allowed if needed. Compared to Asagi, she has a hardliner approach against demons and preference to make her own choices over the government.

However, ultimately does so for the good of the people around her and not for personal gain and is willing to give her life for others.

Having a rather mocking chipper tone when fighting, she has also good acting skills is an expert of infiltration. Threatening people that try to dig into her real identity, she wishes to be just addressed with a code name. Possibly as her ability does only extend her life, she puts a lot of effort into her mentoring to create a future generation.

Viewing the Taimanin organization as ill-equipped to fight the threat of demons, as they are limited by the Japanese Government. She prefers to work as a Rogue Taimanin while still upholding most of the moral principles.

Appearance She looks like Oboro, pink/violet short hair with a bob head cut. She has a smaller to medium bust and below her mask violet/purple eyes.

Furthermore, she wears a black leotard-like battle suit, and over her clothes typically a red coat that she will take off if she fights serious.

Oboro also will wear a red dress, and again a mask when using her "Madame" identity for Club Persona.

She is the oldest daughter of one of the sidearm of the Koukawa clan, which protect the main branch of the family. Oboro was put in charge as the guardian of the future clan head Koukawa Asuka. She is a user of a Ninja Art, which is considered especially powerful, which allows her to move her own soul into another target. She was the only known sibling which awoke to a Ninja Art, unlike her brother Koukawa Rei now known as Ares, and unnamed sister now known as Li Mayfeng. Her brother Rei, would leave after losing most of his body during a mission in which he saved the life of the mistress of the clan patriarch, and missunderstood Oboro's concern if he should continue to be a Taimanin, as a sign to be thrown away as a useless monster.

When the Koukawa arrived at Gosha Village, by the call of the Japanese Government, Oboro and her clan did not fully integrate into Gosha. Instead, they established a nearby settlement and observed. As powers shifted and the Igawa clan became the dominant power power over the Fuuma clan, they assisted against Fuuma Danjo's Revolt, year 2068. Oboro knew already of Igawa Asagi, but unsure if her bluntness, was tactical or crazy. She still harbored some like for Asagi, as the "Igawa Elders" were far hardliner than the daughter of the chief.

Powers/Abilities Masked Taimanin Ultimate Koukawa Oboro Ultimate Main Weapon: Two Knuckle Blades or Claws

Ninja Art: "Mind Transfer/Cicada Shell Art" Oboro is able to possess other people, at which point they will look just like her, including the clothes. This Ninja Art can be used long distance and even on corpses. However, without a true body to return to, it cuts the life of the user shorter. The ability could be limited, in a way, that she can only take over targets significantly weaker. This skill can be used quick, but if performed rapidly can miss the timing. It is stated that if she keeps a new body for about 10 years that it will be assimilated. Normally Oboro would just leave her real body behind, in a soulless state, until she would return to it. However, after her body was taken and turned into "Oboro" which was given a half demon soul, returning to her original body is not possible without causing unknown harm. Idle Movement: An advanced application technique of her Ninja Art, which allows her to switch position, the same way that substitute techniques work, instantly with her enemy or an object. Since she can change location with anything, there is a limit of 10 meters but it allows her many possible one hit kill attacks. Expert Knife Combat: Close in strength to Asagi. Expert Long distance: Kunai's and throwing chakrams. Claw User: Used to fight with claws like Oboro but has changed to knifes. Particle Control: Taimanin are able to manipulate Taima Particles to enhance their physical strength, speed and defense. The particles are also used to counter demonic influences and strengthen damage to demons.
