Legend[]

The Iso-Onna is a yōkai found in fishing villages all over Kyushu, and similar yōkai, such as Nure-Onna and Daki, can be found among many regions of Japan. She has many different names, and all of them seem friendly enough:

  • Iso-Onago (磯女子) = rocky shore girl
  • Umi-Onna (海女) = ocean woman
  • Umi-Hime (海姫) = ocean princess
  • Umi-Nyoubo (海女房) = ocean wife

Because of their close mythological origins, Mizuki's design for the Iso-Onna and Nure-Onna's design are interchangeable with one another.

Trivia[]

  • The Iso-Onna story was told in the 56th episode of both the 1968 and 2007 anime adaptations.
  • One of Kami-no-Sei in the manga has an appearance of Iso-Onna.
