In the anime, this may be tied to slight jealousy, since Yashamaru once teased her for not being sweet and feminine like Oboro and a comically offended Hotarubi threw a childish tantrum at him. Like most of the Iga, Hotarubi considers Oboro to be a completely useless leader and defers to Tenzen's orders. Her devotion to him is so great that even the suggestion that he's come to harm is enough to send her into reactions that range from a mere evil stare (like when Mino Nenki makes a bad joke about it) to a feral rage (when Shougen refuses to tell her if Yashamaru is alive or not, and she brutally stabs him to death). After learning of Yashamaru's murder, Hotarubi devotes herself to the war between Iga and Kouga completely, seeking the chance for revenge at any cost.Īlthough she shares her clan's hatred for the Kouga, Hotarubi's prime concern is for her lover Yashamaru, another member of the Iga ten. Her devotion to him is so great that even the suggestion that he's come to harm is enough to send her into a feral rage. Although she shares her clan's hatred for the Kouga, Hotarubi's prime concern is for her lover Yashamaru, another member of the Iga ten. Hotarubi puts on a very serious and no-nonsense front when with other members of the Iga, but she is rather different when alone with Yashamaru, appearing to be quite innocent and slightly child-like with her jealous temper tantrums. She also wears pink armbands and a pink sash around her waist, into which she slips her tantō. She now wears a purple kosode and purple hakama, which she tucks into her pink tabi socks. Later, Hotarubi changes her outfit and ties all her hair back into a ponytail with a red ribbon.
Hotarubi ties a small part of hair on her right side into a ponytail and wears a long, purple kimono tied with a dark pink sash. 7 Differences Between the Manga, Anime and Novel VersionsĪ petite and slender young woman with straight dark hair that drapes to just below her shoulders Hotarubi is reminiscent of the traditional Japanese beauty whereas Oboro is the large-eyed innocent, Okoi the sassy tomboy, and Akeginu and Kagerō (and even Ogen during her youth) representing the concept of the sensual femme-fatale.
