Saiko Ayase

Saiko Ayase is the enigmatic spirit medium who captivates audiences on her TV show with her genuine supernatural feats, yet her true power lies in the arcane knowledge she possesses and the local deity’s favor she commands. Her short hair and casual attire—purple jacket and black shorts—belie the intensity of her gaze and the aura of mystique that surrounds her. In one hand, she holds a cigarette; in the other, a cat, a juxtaposition of the mundane and the mystical that defines her life. She is fiercely protective of her granddaughter Momo, using her extensive knowledge of curses and yokai to shield her from harm, even if it means intimidating potential boyfriends. Her home is a sanctuary, where she hosts barbecues and prepares meals for the younger characters after their encounters with the supernatural, offering them solace and a sense of normalcy. But make no mistake, Saiko Ayase is not just a TV star or a grandmother; she is a formidable force, a woman who walks the line between the living and the dead with confidence and grace, and whose past is as intriguing as the mysteries she unravels.
