Kintoru, more commonly known as Sama (様: Sama) was the main antagonist of Control's Book and was also one of the four main antagonists of the game, along with the other beasts in The Mimic. Known as the accursed witch and an evil-being, she was one of the four beasts that rampaged across the Earth as the Beast of Control and was also the entity responsible for Yasu's cursed bloodline, causing both of them to experience peculiar visions throughout their journeys.
Appearance[]
As the Witch, Kintoru is an unnaturally tall albeit beautifully stunning humanoid with slight monstrous features. She has long, luxurious wavy black hair, a large black sun hat, a white porcelain mask with pink blushes, black eye sockets and red lipstick. She wore a black dress, and has long black feathers hanging from her shoulders. She also sports black boots and long black arms with darker nails. In her remodel, she appears to have small white pupils in her eye sockets and a large grin.
As Omukade, she is significantly larger, towering over Kusonoki's monster form. This time, she appears as a black bloated centipede-like creature with multiple arms sprouting from her back with a long segmented tail that is capable of causing harm. The white porcelain mask still remains along with her hair, although the hair is now medium-length. At the end of Chapter 3, her body is now swelled larger and multiple puppet strings are attached to her puppets.
As Saigomo, she appears as a giant arachnid-like creature with an abdomen, being the size of four school buses. She sports eight spider-like legs shaped like actual limbs. Her hair remains the same length as when she became Omukade, and her porcelain white mask is now replaced with a more sinister one with a large grin with black lipstick. When Yasu destroys three of her hearts, she enters her frenzy mode, with her grin now replaced with a vicious, sharp-toothed grin with glowing white eyes. Whilst near Yasu in this state, she begins to laugh hysterically.
When Hiachi first encountered Kintoru, she simply appeared as a tall dark figure that meant no harm. When she got closer however, Sama shapeshifted into a similar form to Hiachi, even with her own hat, albeit all in black.
Personality[]
Kintoru is a vicious and hungry beast with ill-intent, with few examples being when she cursed many innocent souls (such as the Akuyami Village residents) without remorse, and toying with her victims such as Yasu Masashige. Her most defining trait however is her manipulation, as she was able to trick an innocent girl (Hiachi) into releasing her, and cursing her later on. She is also considerably two-faced, as she shows a motherly side to Hiachi and the other puppets, only to curse them later on and turn them into puppets as a part of her nature. Overall, Kintoru is a ruthless and unforgiving woman who only desires control over others as her nature as the Beast of Control.
