Iwanami

Iwanami (いわなみ, Iwanami) is one of the many children of Yataro Inuda who were made of Yamata no Orochi's Kitetsu. He takes part in the raid against the Uesugi Alliance to retrieve the Obsidian Goddess from Musashi.

Appearance
Iwanami is half-human and half-Oni, so he bears a resemblance to both species. He has a human-like upper body that is attached to a lizard-like creature, however, his size is significantly larger compared to humans. He has blue eyes with some prominent bottom lashes and short, light-coloured hair. Iwanami also has a blue crystal horn on his forehead. He wears a spiked collar around his neck to which a chain is attached.

History
Iwanami is the child of Yataro by blood, when he was a fetus, Yataro fused him with some stone fragments of Yamata no Orochi. They spent many times together with their older sister, Mishima as well, in Awaji Island.

Abilities

 * Reflective Defense Walls: After eating his sisters, Iwanami has evolved and gained similar defensive powers to Yamata no Orochi, since being created of their fragments. He can manifest hexagon-shaped reflective walls to repel the attacks of Bushis.


 * Immense Regeneration and Durability: Being a half-Oni, Iwanami has displayed similar regenerative powers to them. He can regenerate any part of his body, despite the amount of damage he gets, as long as the crystal horn on the lizard's head is intact. Even when Naoe and Kuroko cut his body apart, he is able to regenerate within seconds.

Trivia
