Kikuri-Hime

Kikuri-Hime (キクリヒメ) or (ククリヒメ, Kukurihime), also known as Shirayama-Hime (シラヤマヒメ), is a demon in the series.

History
In Japanese mythology, Kikuri-Hime (or Shirayama-Hime) is the dragon goddess worshipped at Mt. Hakusan and is considered the Shinto goddess of negotiation and mediation. She is also said to bring the rains to the farmlands. In Japanese "Kiku" means "chrysanthemum", which is her symbolic flower and interactively associates with lamentation at death.

It is written in the Kojiki that after Izanagi was driven out of Yomi (Shinto Netherworld), Kikuri-Hime mediated on behalf of Izanami so that the husband and wife could engage in a debate. The exact content of this debate is not recorded, although there has been much conjecture. It is the actions of Kikuri-Hime that established the duty of later (Japanese priestess) when communicating with Yomi.

Devil Survivor 2: The Animation
Io Nitta summons Kikuri-Hime at the end of Monday against Merak to deal attacks to the flyer, blasting it with pink magic under heavy cover of the JP's members' Jambavans until it was hit by one of Merak's small energy beams, knocking it out of the fight.

Io later uses Kikuri-Hime to fight off multiple Legions in Nagoya before Hibiki's Suzaku comes in to destroy the rest of them. On the same day, Io also uses her to fight Phecda in JP's Nagoya headquarters. Kikuri-Hime manages to do some damage before Io becomes exhausted, and is later destroyed by Phecda's energy beam when it splits into two. It should be noted that while Phecda's first form is immune to every attack except Almighty (i.e. Sarasvati's Drain attack), Kikuri-Hime's pink magic blasts seem to affect it, implying that this attack has Almighty properties, and is perhaps an animated version of Holy Dance due to its circular patterns. It is last seen in battle against a Megrez bud, where it once again uses these Almighty blasts to damage the Septentrion's shell in a join effort with Byakko.

Upon a glance at Io's current demon roster, Kikuri-Hime seemed to have disappeared, perhaps being replaced by Lugh in a sacrifice at some point. Io summons Kikuri-Hime one last time in the last day to protect Hibiki from Nebiros. After her defeat, Io quickly summons Lugh to continue.

Despite being a demon that usually has little to no offensive capability, Kikuri-Hime is shown using some sort of almighty attack to deal damage on the opponents. How she possesses the almighty skill without fusion is never explained in the anime.
