Kochou

胡蝶

Kochou (Kochou, "Butterfly") served as one of Kikyou's assistants; she was one of two shikigami appearing as young girls. Following Kikyou's severe wounding by Naraku on Mount Hakurei, she and Asuka primarily function as Kikyou's messengers.
They also attend to Kikyou's other shikigami, Saint Hijiri, who is merely a puppet and vessel for Kikyou's soul. Kochou and Asuka are also capable of erecting and maintaining powerful barriers.
