Omitsu

Omitsu (お) was the manager of the Kyogoku House in the Entertainment District of Yoshiwara, Tokyo.

Appearance
Omitsu was a middle-aged woman with noticeable wrinkles on her face and sharp eyes. Her black hair was tied up in a type of tsubushi shimada style held with a decorative comb.

During her sole appearance, Omitsu was seen wearing a patterned kimono tied with a light-colored obi.

Personality
Although not much is known about Omitsu's personality, it seems that she was an esteemed figure in the brothel, evident by the number of people that mourned her passing days after she was discovered dead.

Omitsu initially respected Warabihime, as shown when she first ignored the incidents revolving around her. Regardless, that respect waned eventually when she confronts her to protect the staff.

History
As a child, Omitsu heard from elders about the cruelty of a certain oiran who was incredibly beautiful, yet had a twisted personality, along with her ruthless treatment of others.

Later on, Omitsu would become the manager for the Kyogoku House, and work with the Oiran Warabihime.

Entertainment District Arc
After hearing numerous incidents involving girls committing Ashinuke, getting hurt and even killing themselves, Omitsu confronts Warabihime as she is believed to be the culprit. When accused of bullying several girls to suicide, Warabihime coldly retorts they wouldn't have gotten hurt if they simply had not annoyed her. She tactfully adds that a big part of the house's success is due to her alone. Infuriated by her attitude, Omitsu recounts a story she was told by an older woman when she was a child; a story about many oirans across history who shared the same traits. They were extremely beautiful but notorious for their cruelty, causing them to have "hime" to be added to their name for their petty and harsh attitude. Notable, they would all slant their heads when something angered them.

Seeing Warabihime doing just that, Omitsu tearfully confronts the Oiran for her inhuman nature, while armed with a knife. Warabihime reveals her demonic nature and grabs her with her obi, before hovering high above the district. Omitsu begs for her life but Warabihime "kindly" tells her not to be afraid, since she doesn't eat old people, before dropping the hapless woman to her death below.

Abilities
As an ordinary human, she doesn't possess any additional powers or abilities.

Trivia

 * Warabihime and other residents of Kyogoku House call her "Okami" (さん), meaning the proprietress of their own residence.
