She smiles and the two go to kiss however, oblivious to Hotarubi, Yashamaru sees her pet Viper watching him from the grass. The pair are standing alone on a secluded mountain and when Hotarubi reminds him that he should be off performing patrol duties he replies he would much rather spend the time with her. Hotarubi is seen with Yashamaru in an anime only flashback. In the anime, this may be tied to slight jealousy, since Yashamaru once teased her for not being sweet and feminine like Oboro and Hotarubi almost threw a childish tantrum at him. Like most of the Iga, Hotarubi considers Oboro to be completely useless despite her position as the clan's next leader, and defers to Yakushiji Tenzen's orders. In the anime, this may be tied to slight jealousy, since Yashamaru once teased her for not being sweet and feminine like Oboro and a comically offended Hotarubi threw a childish tantrum at him.

Although she shares her clan's hatred for the Kouga, Hotarubi's prime concern is for her lover Yashamaru, another member of the Iga ten. Hotarubi puts on a very serious and no-nonsense front when with other members of the Iga, but she is rather different when alone with Yashamaru, appearing to be quite innocent and slightly child-like with her jealous temper tantrums. She also wears pink armbands and a pink sash around her waist, into which she slips her tantō. She now wears a purple kosode and purple hakama, which she tucks into her pink tabi socks. Later, Hotarubi changes her outfit and ties all her hair back into a ponytail with a red ribbon. Hotarubi ties a small part of hair on her right side into a ponytail and wears a long, purple kimono tied with a dark pink sash. 7 Differences Between the Manga, Anime and Novel VersionsĪ petite and slender young woman with straight dark hair that drapes to just below her shoulders Hotarubi is reminiscent of the traditional Japanese beauty whereas Oboro is the large-eyed innocent, Okoi the sassy tomboy, and Akeginu and Kagerō (and even Ogen during her youth) representing the concept of the sensual femme-fatale.
