Aoi Tanio is a woman convicted of murder and the reason that Guardian Serpent of Tsukana Swamp requested the help of Kotoko Iwanaga in Chapter 15 of the Manga and Episode 2 of the Anime.

She is the main suspect of a murder for disposing a dead body into the Tsukuna Swamp. Furthermore, the serpent claims to have heard her utters: "I really hope they find it," after disposing the body.

At the young age of 11, Kotoko Iwanaga was abducted by youkai for two weeks and asked to become their "God of Wisdom," a mediator between the spirit and human worlds, to which the girl quickly agreed but at the cost of her right eye and left leg. Now, six years later, whenever youkai wish for their problems to be solved, they make their way to Kotoko for consultation.<br>

With this knowledge, she asks for his help in solving the various issues presented by the supernatural, all the while wishing her newfound partner will eventually reciprocate her feelings.
