Konton

Konton is one of the remaining Four Perils that serves Kirinmaru, who seeks vengeance on the Half-Demon Princesses for humiliating him.

History
Long ago, Konton battled a Meiōjū and killed it, taking a piece of his shell as a souvenir. Konton fashioned the shell as an armor that he used until he fought Towa Higurashi, Setsuna, and Moroha. The trio attacked him at his temple where they engaged in a brief skirmish with him before they escaped.

Konton found them with the Meiōjū's son Meifuku. When Towa learned that Meiōjū's shell had no demonic energy, she infused some of her own energy into the armor, awakening the spirit of Meiōjū, who held Konton down so Meifuku and Towa could attack the armor, causing the shell to separate from Konton. Konton went to attack Towa, but was then attacked by Moroha and Setsuna, and then fled before Moroha could finish him off.

Konton currently resides in a cave, from which he spies on the Half-Demon Princesses and summons another half-demon, by the name of Nikosen, to destroy them and attain their Rainbow Pearls. He observes the battle, and finds Towa's human transformation interesting. After Nikosen's defeat, he says the battle was entertaining.

A few months later, he returns and seems to have struck a deal with Moroha's mentor Yawaragi. Konton slaughters all the rats of the village and offers Yawaragi the last remaining key to the cursed iron rat armour she wears if she kills Moroha.

Konton later appears near the end of Yawaragi's fight with Moroha. When Moroha uses the Crimson Backlash Wave, Yawaragi betrays Konton and used him as a shield against the attack. Konton uses the blue rainbow pearl to escape and crushes the key before fleeing.

Konton is approached by Riku while creating an eight field escape trap foe the half-demons. Riku suggests Konton use Tōtetsu to lure the girls in, and offers to help. Konton then uses his bagua wheel to control the trap. Eventually, Towa and Setsuna cut through the nexus and locate Konton.

Personality
Being a very powerful demon, he is coldhearted and vicious when it comes to his reputation or his enemies.

Physical Description
Apparition: Konton is tall and skinny with pale green skin, two horns on his forehead, pointy ears, and a thin mustache that only has two hairs protruding from either side of his face. He has long flowing grayish black hair, and his fingers have claws at the end of them. He has a medium length tail.

True Form: In his true form, Konton doesn't appear to have a face. His body is round with six stubby legs and four smaller wings attached to it.

Outfit
Konton wears a long black pointed officials hat. He wears a light brown kosode, darker brown baggy pants, and boots. For a while he wore the Meiōjū's shell that took the form of a brownish coloured armour that covered his chest and shoulders.

He later acquired another set of armour that was red on the upper part, grey with small spikes protruding on the middle part, and black with two rows of smaller spikes.
