Report Wanyuud0u's Profile

Wanyuudou was a wheel of a two-wheeled carriage that used to be pulled by two oxen, which is to say that he was a tsukumogami. He was specifically the left wheel if the carriage is viewed from the back. The carriage used to belong to a royal family more than 400 years ago, though the requirements for Wanyuudou to become a tsukumogami means that it could have belonged to them for more than even 500 years.

One day, a war had broken out against this royal family, and three of the warriors secured the princess and two others inside this carriage to make a getaway. One of the three warriors served as the driver of the carriage, and the two others rode on the back to assume a defensive position. But unfortunately, the enemies caught up to them while they were moving along a cliff, and they were caught in a battle. The enemies shot the carriage with fire arrows, and the carriage soon caught on fire, for which the driver and the oxen all lost their controls. The two warriors on the back managed to get off by jumping, but the coach fell off the cliff shortly, and everyone aboard died from the fire and from falling from such a height.

After the carriage crashed into the ground, the left wheel, which is Wanyuudou himself, came off and rolled to a distance before coming to a rest, and then continued to burn. It was then that Wanyuudou turned from a tsukumogami to a youkai and got a new form. In this new form, he appeared as the same wooden wheel that he was, but a human face that newly belonged to him replaced his hubcap, and he was on an eternally burning fire. From then on, he had the ability to do as he wished, and had many mysterious abilities, one of which was the reason he never burned up even if he was on fire. From then on, he started running up and down the same cliff every night, terrorizing and scaring anybody who passed by the cliff at that time.

The rumors about him spread in the nearby village, who thought of him as a ghost holding a grudge against humans. Ai, who happened to come to this village at one time to provide her service heard about him from the people of the village while she was undercover. This got her interested enough to set out in search for Wanyuudou the next night. It was then that Ai and Wanyuudou met each other, and Ai invited him to join her. After Wanyuudou accepted the offer, Ai gave him a new human form, which is his current form.

And thus, Wanyuudou became the first of Ai's companions. In fact, not much time had passed in between him becoming her first companion, and Ai herself turning into Hell Girl, both of which has happened around 400 years ago.

In Three Vessels, after the death of Ai, Wanyuudou lived his life seemingly in peace as a construction worker for a while, until Kikuri arrived to recruit him again with the words that Ai is back. For the rest of the season, he served as a janitor at Yuzuki's school in Saigawara City. Near the end, he was the only one of Ai's companions who came to the aid of Yuzuki, who newly and temporarily became the Hell Girl, but he returned to being Ai's companion after she became Hell Girl again.
