ALIASES: Kaguya Doll (かぐや人形, Kaguya Ningyō)
SPECIES: Doll
GENDER: Female
A doll spirit that embodies the grudge of death. She knows nothing of love and thought that was play.
Also known as the "Kaguya Doll" (as Kakuya cannot pronounce the "gu" in part of her name due to her childish nature), she was sealed inside a mirror of the prestigious Miroku family that leads to the Realm of the Dead. The seal used to lock her powers weakened every ten years, and she would leave the mirror to enter the real world.
She was sealed inside a mirror of the prestigious Miroku family that leads to the Realm of the Dead. The seal used to lock her powers weakened every ten years, and she would leave the mirror to enter the real world. The ritual used to seal this doll was called "Nagoshi no Gi" (or NG for short). For the ritual to work, the current successor must either bestow an object – such as a doll – with spiritual energy from their hands or turn humans into dolls. After the latest heir of the Miroku family, Yakumo, lost his spiritual powers in an accident, he resorted to kidnapping and dismembering little girls out of desperation to continue upholding his role in sealing away Kakuya. Coming from a family with numerous connections (especially the Ishimaru family), the incidents were covered up.
The last child that Yakumo abducted, Tsubasa Aoi, was different than the previous abductees, as she was a middle-schooler just starting to go through adolescence. This made Kakuya curious, and she desired the kind of fun that adults had. The sacrifice was a failure, and the seal broke, allowing Kakuya to come after her "daddy", ultimately killing him. Desperate for a playmate, Kakuya would invite others to play with her by sending a black postcard, and the games would go on until they died or if she got bored. According to the D-Card written about her, the purpose of her games were not to kill, but to find a playmate, similar to a child wanting attention.
After making Akira her playmate – she learned that he was Yakumo's illegitimate son – Kakuya became obsessed with him, and she forced him to play with her by killing Yuri Takamura in order to lure and kidnap Ami. By the time she trapped him in the Realm of the Dead, she even morphed her body to become more "adult" in order to have fun with her new "daddy".
