Part 33: Okami Artbook 1

Ponc'tan characters

Celestial Envoy and Self-proclaimed Legendary Swordsman - Ishaku

"The 6th Celestial Envoy, and elder of the Poncle tribe. He laments that the peoples' faith in the Gods has diminished so much, from what it was a century ago. Having sensed the encroaching darkness, the tribe has come together to study the ways of art under Ishaku's guidance.

Through their works of art, the Poncles believe they can bring the divine light of the Gods back to the people."

Poncle Girl - Miya

"A young Poncle girl who wears a yellow swallowtail butterfly* hat.
She is a childhood friend of Issun, and she longs fo the day when he returns to Ponc'tan to take his place as the 7th Celestial Envoy."

* _{As a nice little touch, only female butterflies have that blue markings on their hindwings.}

Divine White Wolf - Shiranui

"The legendary divine white wolf that helped Ishaku defeat Orochi a century ago. This being's power is captured on the tapestry that hangs in Ishaku's house.
This tapestry is the only image of Shiranui in existance, and of course, it is an Ishaku piece."
