In the anime[]
Kukuri-hime briefly appears in M05 when she meets Alistair after his death, and tells him that his sister had his soul taken by a Yo-kai. As Alistair regrets about his actions upon trying to save his sister from taking her life, Kukuri-hime offers him another chance to save his sister by temporarily bringing him back to life while she asks him to form a "special relationship" with someone to help him along the way.
She reappears again in the credits, enjoying some tea and laughing with Blizzaria.

Etymology[]
Origin[]
Kukuri-hime is based on the Yo-kai of the same name. Kukurihime no Kami (菊理媛神), also known as Kukurihime no Mikoto (菊理媛命), is a Japanese Shinto goddess venerated at Shirayama Hime Shrine in Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture. She is mentioned in Nihongi, but not in Kojiki. She is also venerated at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo and at Yōrō Shrine in Gifu Prefecture. Kukuri appears very briefly during the myth of Yomi, after Izanagi used the great god Michikaeshi Ōkami to block the entry to Yomi no kuni. Her words are praised by Izanagi, but what she said to him was not recorded (or erased), which is strange, since Kukurihime is worshipped in 3000 shrines across Japan, and was latter merged with Kannon Bosatsu.
