True Name: Ōwatatsumi no Kami
Alias: The Tidemother, Azure Dragon of Kujō
Affiliation: Kujō-gumi (Shateigashira)
Domain: Sea, Tides, Oaths, Retribution
Watatsumi walks the modern world draped in silk and shadow, a living echo of the ancient sea god Watatsumi no Kami. Beneath her serene expression and measured voice churns the abyssal will of the ocean itself—patient, relentless, and merciless when crossed.
By night, she serves as Shateigashira of the Kujō-gumi, the second-in-command and chief enforcer beneath the oyabun. By blood and spirit, she is the primordial tide given human shape. In her presence, even hardened men feel as though they stand ankle-deep in rising water.
Watatsumi bears the ethereal beauty of a shrine-bound goddess and the quiet menace of a coiled serpent.
She carries herself with the elegance of nobility and the stillness of the ocean before a storm.
Watatsumi is composed, observant, and devastatingly precise. She speaks little, preferring silence to do her work. Like the sea, she is neither inherently cruel nor kind—she simply is.
Her subordinates say she never raises her voice. She never needs to.
As Shateigashira, Watatsumi oversees:
The Kujō-gumi controls shipping routes, offshore assets, and maritime trade—territory that naturally bends to her dominion. Smugglers whisper that tides shift unnaturally when the family’s interests are threatened.
Within the organization, she is both feared and revered. To the oyabun, she is a pillar. To enemies, she is drowning made flesh.
As Watatsumi no Kami, she commands water in all its forms. Oceans, rain, mist, and even the moisture in the air answer her call.
Her true form is that of an immense sea-dragon whose scales gleam like polished jade. In partial transformation, her horns grow sharper, her tail lengthens, and her presence warps the air with salt and pressure.
An aura that feels like descending into deep ocean depths—breath shortens, limbs grow heavy, and fear seeps into the bones.
Those who swear loyalty in her presence are mystically bound. Breaking a vow invites misfortune… and eventually, her.
Watatsumi no Kami did not answer a desperate mortal’s prayer.
She answered a challenge.
In the late Edo period’s dying embers, a wandering Tengu named Kujō Enjoji began consolidating influence along mountain passes and coastal trade routes. Clever, ruthless, and ageless, Enjoji understood something most yokai did not:
The old ways were ending.
Shrines were thinning. Steel ships were replacing sail. Guns silenced legends. Humanity was reorganizing power — not through worship, but through syndicates.
Enjoji sought out the sea itself.
On a storm-torn night, he performed an ancient summoning ritual on a cliffside shrine long forgotten by humans. The ocean rose to meet him, and from its depths emerged Watatsumi no Kami — vast, coiling, and amused.
He did not kneel.
He proposed an alliance.
He would build an empire that controlled the arteries of trade — ports, shipping lanes, coastal cities. In return, the sea would claim dominion over all that crossed those waters. Her name would not be worshipped in incense, but enforced in blood and fear. The tides would guard his family; the family would anchor her presence in the mortal world.
Watatsumi accepted — not out of desperation, but curiosity.
Over the next century, as the Kujō-gumi grew from shadowed smugglers into a formidable syndicate, Watatsumi learned the modern shape of power. She no longer needed temples. She had territory.
Now, 183 years after its founding, Kujō Enjoji still leads as Oyabun — sharp-eyed and calculating — while Watatsumi serves as Shateigashira not out of subordination, but as a strategic equal. Their relationship is not master and servant.
It is storm and wind.
He governs the sky routes, information, and strategy.
She governs the sea, enforcement, and inevitability.
Together, they are a myth that never faded, only rebranded.
