Lady Yodo (淀殿, Yodo-dono) was a courtesan used 400 years ago as Hagoromo Gitsune's host body. She was the mother of Hideyori Toyotomi and the master of Osaka Castle. At the time, the Toyotomi family was facing a crisis after the death of their leader Hideyoshi Toyotomi, their reputation was in decline, and the Tokugawa forces were against them. Believing her son to be a useless buffoon, she would frequently meet with her yōkai underlings in secret late at night, where she would ingest the livers they had collected for her - all for the sake of giving birth to the Nue. However, the livers of average people proved too ineffective for her, and she ordered her forces to collect even more valuable ones - which led them to target people with unusual abilities.
When Nurarihyon defeated Hagoromo Gitsune, Lady Yodo fell off a rooftop and was presumed to either have died or sustained critical injuries leading to an early death.
