This Otohime
was the young twin sister of the individual of the same name/title from the Urashima Taro tale.History[]
Heisei Ultraseven[]
The younger twin sister of the Otohime of legend, Otohime came ashore after Taro broke his promise to her sister, opening the clam shaped clock she gave him. The moment that promise was broken her older sister died. She came ashore looking for him, along the way generating tachyon waves that caused time slip phenomena around the town of Tatsunomiya.
Upon first coming ashore she was tended to by Ultra Guard Member Shima, who presumed her to be lost individual. The two bonded over their shared experience of broken promises; for her Taro and her sister and for Shima his father promising to come for him when he was a child. Shima even brought her to his aunt's that she may rest the night.
Despite this, when she began generating Tachyon Waves again, he was ordered to shoot her, but could not bring himself to do so. Later on she found Taro, by moonflowers, and explained to him what had happened to her sister, and reprimanded him. She took her sister's pocket watch and cast it into the see, summoning the incarnation of her deceased sister Dairyukhai.
After Dairyuhkai had defeated the Ultra Guard and Ultraseven, her elder sister took Taro and disappeared with him to parts unknown. She and another individual (implied by his comments to have been the turtle from the story) returned to the sea, leaving as balls of light to return to the Dragon Palace.
