Character Profile: Yohko Mano

She is the 16 year old, 108th generation mamono hunter. Yohko is a pretty athletic girl who is constantly thinking of having a boyfriend. So far, her luck with boys has been less than successful, as they have all turned out to be either possessed by demons, sacrificed for evil, or were illusions to begin with.

Yohko transforms into her red silk dress clad mamono hunter persona by using a Yoma ring given to her by her grandmother. Worn on her left hand, this ring is the source of Yohko's power, has healing properties, and has the power to control time. The ring itself can also help Yohko generate a power blast to use against her enemies.

Yohko's unique 'braided hoops' hairstyle is kept up by hair ornaments made from a magic stone called Shimi-Seki which focuses and increases her inner powers. These hair clips also alert Yohko of forthcoming danger. Together with the ring, Yohko can project a sort of psi-web at a demon to keep it from moving.

Yohko's main weapon, however, is her Soulsword which she calls to her almost everytime as soon as she transforms. This is a two-piece sword where the long blade can be detached from the handle. The handle has its own curved blade which can be used for times when Yohko needs to 'hack and slash.' If seperated from her, Yohko can call for the sword to come back by itself.
