Profile

Origin

Amabie is a legendary creature from the Higo Province of Japan that appeared from the sea and delivered a prophecy. It is described as long-haired, scaly, three-legged, and featuring a bird-like mouth. According to the legend, upon emerging from the sea, it foretold of six years of good harvest, and to draw its likeness and present it to the sick to ward off illness. Following this, it disappears. Due to similarities with a yōkai called the amabiko, including prophetic capabilities and a command to show its likeness to the sick, it is believed that amabie may be a result of a printing or writing error.

Amabie can be found in Jozoji, having moved to Tokyo to become an idol. Amabie asks the Nahobino to give its idol bromides to people. If distributed to Ichiro Dazai, he mistakes Amabie for a kappa, but likes how it looks and decides to show off its bromide in his next video. After reporting back to Amabie, it gives the Nahobino an Amabie Essence as a thank you.

Trivia

• Amabie's design originates from a sketch by Masayuki Doi made in 2021. At the time, Amabie was becoming a popular symbol of Japan's efforts to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic due to her ability to protect from disease.
