I have no idea why horns are there. When I looked it up the only results were of Native American tribes, which would be a strange thing to implement if your trying to represent the Ainu tribe.

Sitonai

As Ainu tradition is almost entirely oral it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a source for Sitonai. We eventually found it on a blog dedicated to baseball. Sitonai is a version of the clever girl dragon slayer, who uses planning and wits to defeat her would-be killer.

I took inspiration from the Ainu people’s traditional attire (which is what inspired the Diamond/Pearl Clans) for their wedding robes! ☺️

The Akkorokamui is an octopus-like monster from Ainu folklore. While she is often presented as a benevolent kami with powers to heal and bestow knowledge, she is fickle and has the propensity to do harm. It is nearly impossible to escape her grasp without permission. https://t.co/MoGQ85idzW
