Ao (蒼 Ao) is the other half of Sosuke Inukawa's soul, his shadow. He is accompanied by a kamaitachi named Kon. He is jealous of Sosuke because Shino Inuzuka sides with him

Appearance

Like Sosuke Inukawa, Ao has dark blue hair and two differently colored eyes;

• A blue right eye color
• A gold left eye on his left eye, which used to belong to Kohaku.
• He later obtains Sosuke's left eye.

Personality

Ao is quite a possessive, cruel and deceiving man who will kill others in order to achieve his goals. He also take things that, as he claims, once belonged to him and one such thing that he vows to retrieve is Shino Inuzuka.

Even though he is conniving and merciless, he shows that he still cares for Shino as he rushes to his aid when he is wounded in the battle against Tamazusa.

History

Ao has stolen Keno Inusaka's heart and stolen Sosuke Inukawa's bead from Shino Inuzuka in trying to complete his body. Ao obtains the deity named Yana in the form of a green tribal marking in his left arm.

Plot

Ao steals one of Kohaku's golden eyes in exchange of extending her life with one week by turning her into a demon. In order to get power and to live alongside Shino Inuzuka, who is possessed by the powerful Murasame, he later kills the local God Yana. Shino later states that Ao should be the new host of Yana, however, Ao only agrees to become the new host if Shino asks him “sweetly”. Ao is now possessed by Yana, who had lost its place to stay, as well as possessing Yana's seal on his arm.

Relationships

Shino Inuzuka

While Ao seems to care for Shino very much, Shino rather dislikes him and Ao will do anything that benefits Shino. Tamazusa asked him to hand over Shino to her but Ao refused and fought with Hazuki who is a vessel that is control by Tamazusa. He also said that he took Kohaku's eye because Shino seemed to like them.

Quotes

(To Shino Inuzuka) "Anything I'm lacking, I take away from others"
