Okiyo


 * Not to confuse with Kiyo from Princess Mononoke.

Okiyo (おキヨ) or Kiyo (キヨ), also known as Kiyo of the Breaking Up Temple (縁切り寺のキヨ, Enkiridera no Kiyo), is the deuteragonist in Pom Poko. She is the wife of Shoukichi.

Appearance
Okiyo is a small, round Tanuki in an orange vest with a yellow stripe on the bottom. Like the other females, her face is slightly rounder and she has slightly more prominent eyelashes.

About
Her father was shot dead by a hunter, but she was relieved he was not eaten; instead his hide was sold. She and Shoukichi work together to drive the humans from Tama Hills. They also try to reduce the tanuki population by not having children, but Okiyo finds she can't keep her hands off of Shoukichi and they bear four cubs. At the end, they live among the humans, and she gets a job at a snack bar.
