Tōtetsu

Tōtetsu was the fourth and last of the Shikyō to be alive, like Konton. He begins to wreck havoc across the lands tracking down and devouring high monks and priests of great spiritual power and virtue.

History
600 years ago, Konton, Kyūki, Tōtetsu, and Tōkotsu are on Kirinmaru's ship as he has returned with his broken right arm and left antler and his daughter Rion.

Tōtetsu went around the land, consuming monks that were considered to be saints because he liked how they taste. He rode around on his black cloud and consulted his orange rainbow pearl and what to eat next.

Tōtetsu tracked down the monk in training Miroku, and tried to eat him. He was confronted by half-demons Towa Higurashi, Setsuna, and Miroku's son Hisui. After Miroku released the seal on Setsuna's demon powers, she let Tōtetsu consume her arm and taste her poison. Towa slashed Tōtetsu and he fled.

Tōtetsu was enlisted by Riku on Konton's behalf to lure Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha into his eight field escape trap. He was forced into a confrontation with Moroha when Konton's spell weakened, who over powered him. Moroha was joined by Towa and Setsuna after Konton was killed.

Tōtetsu attempted to fight them all off, but was easily overpowered and fled. He fled towards Kirinmaru's ship, who blasted him out of the sky. Kirinmaru reprimanded Tōtetsu for fleeing to his ship, and Tōtetsu apologized before being ordered away.

Personality
Tōtetsu has a proud, fearless, and invincible stance in his desires to consume monks and what ever else is in his path. He has few standards, such as not wanting to eat statues. He likes Towa's modern day foods, and even crushed an entire glass bottle of Habanero Sauce, converting it to flames. After biting Setsuna's arm in her natural state, he decided he no longer wanted to eat the Yashahimes, but was sent into battle by Kirinmaru. He rampaged during Riku's attempts to steal Towa's pearl, and fled when Moroha and Setsuna arrived, saying he plans to live a long life. However, Tōtetsu was beheaded by Riku out of revenge, and Moroha said that Tōtetsu will not need to worry about eating for a very long time.

Powers & Abilities

 * Consumption: He appears to have quite an appetite, as he consumes dozens of people with no problem.
 * Enhanced Bite: His unusually sharp fangs enable him to tear through many various things such as flesh, wood, metal, rock, and glass with one bite.
 * Air Breath: He can use his own breath to emit a powerful burst of wind that sucks away almost anything it its path, just like Miroku's and his family's Kazaana had by the curse of Naraku.
 *  Magic: Like Konton, he uses a spell to emit black smoke (like Meifuku) that transports him anyway in midair instantly.

Weapons

Weaknesses

 * Bad taste: In Episode 13, he got the super hot taste from Towa's habanero sauce, the wood from the temple, Hisui's Yōkai taijiya poison powder, and Setsuna's Poison claws are spicy, and caught by the miasma bugs during the fight with Riku in Episode 21.

Relationships

 * Riku

Tōtetsu stated that Riku is disloyal to Kirinmaru, but it was not explained why. It is most likely has to do Kirinmaru's efforts to save Tōga's life, expecting Riku to assist them. Riku loathed Tōtetsu's interference in Riku's schemes.


 * Kirinmaru

He hated one occasion when Tōtetsu tried to fly away from the girls because Kirinmaru was told that he was in danger of Hanyōs who are now conveniently at his home. Kirinmaru scolded Tōtetsu and told him to go away.

Enemies

 * Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha

Tōtetsu likes to eat things, particularly Monks, and has little interest in Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha. He ignored Moroha and the Monk that she was guarding, and fears Setsuna the most. He has frequently said he was going to eat them during their battles, but prefers to avoid them.
