Ushiwakahime (牛若姫) is a character introduced in Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits: Bushidou Retsuden. She is a major villain in the first chapter of the game. Earlier sketches of her character depict her being more wild and demonic. Her final design was inspired by a fox and the impression of an elegant dancer. Her name and tengu attributes are based on the famous late Heian samurai Minamoto no Yoshitsune, whom she shares a soul with in the story.
She is voiced by Naoko Ishii.
