Koyuki

Koyuki was the daughter of Keizo. Due to her sickness, she spent most of her time bedridden while being treated by Hakuji.

Appearance
Koyuki was a frail young lady. She had black hair which was always tied into a bun fastened with a hairpin and decorated with a Kushi (hair comb) and three snowflake hairpins. Her big eyes had pupils similar to pale flowers.

Koyuki wore a circle-patterned, pink kimono that faded into a snowflake pattern tied with an obi.

Personality
Koyuki had a kind and gentle personality, showing much gratefulness to Hakuji during his time looking after her. She would get emotional and cry when having normal conversations with him, especially concerning his reassurance of returning to the annual fireworks show, as it reminded her of hope and that there were many opportunities to enjoy the things she never had the chance to enjoy.

History
Koyuki was born very sick and with a weak body. Her mother drowned herself as a result, not wanting to see her baby die. While she was in a bad shape, she then meets Hakuji, with whom she falls in love after he gave her hopes for living a tomorrow.

The heir of the dojo next door was the same age as Koyuki. He was in love with her, but he had an extremely violent and arrogant personality. He could never sympathize with the physically-weak Koyuki. After he forced her outside when she was in bad shape, he got scared when he saw her starting to have asthma because of her condition. So he abandoned Koyuki when she was in pain and fled. If Hakuji hadn't discovered her, she would've died.

Koyuki was able to heal and live with the help of Hakuji and her father, recovering two years later and becoming engaged to Hakuji.

Later on, the heir of the dojo next door heard about the marriage between them. Since him and his angered disciples failed to kill Hakuji, they decided to poison the well. After her marriage, she and her father were finally poisoned after drinking water from the poisoned well, passing away at the age of 16 years old at the same day as her father.

Trivia

 * Akaza's characteristics as a Demon are closely related to her appearance:
 * Akaza's hair was the same color as her kimono, pink.
 * When Akaza activates his techniques, the snowflake shape of the formation resembles the hair decorations Koyuki wore.
