Biography[edit | edit source]
In her early adulthood, "Obaba" was married to a man named Ichiro. However, he was then murdered by a short killer. Depressed, she began drinking heavily and shrieking out his name in anguish and pain. Her behavior led to rumors circulating of an oshiroibabā living in Nara Heartland, which led villagers to travel to the monk-turned-demon hunter Mamushi.[1]
In 1582, fed up of the rumors, Mamushi fortunately met the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke and asked them to investigate all these yōkai claims. During their investigation in Yamato, they came upon the woman at her home in the night. Drunk, the old lady attacked her visitors but was bested by them in combat. Regaining her composure, she admitted that she thought they were her husband's killer and apologized for her offense.[1]
