Character Description: Wanyūdō
Originally, the being known as Wanyūdō was the coachman for a princess, until one day the coach he was driving fell off a cliff, killing all aboard. But his spirit later rose as a youkai, his form being a huge flaming black wheel with his enraged face at the hub. He lived his existence terrorizing humans until he was approached by Ai Emma, where he revealed his human form.
Generally an easy-going, gentle individual, Wanyūdō is the one usually call upon by Ai as the black straw doll she gives those seeking vengeance. And when they pull the string around his neck, he then takes the form of Ai's chariot as she begins her vengeance mission. However, his doll form is also a source of abuse, one time a girl nailed him to a Shinto shrine's sacred tree, and another when Hajime Shibata threw him into a mucky garbage can. Despite his frail appearance, Wanyūdō is superhumanly strong and is well versed in martial arts. He's also capable of throwing fireballs.
