Yami is the absolute ruler of all evil beings. He is the ultimate symbol of darkness. And he is nothing like those false gods of your fairytales!
~ Ninetails on Yami.

Yami, also known as "The Emperor of Everlasting Darkness", is the main antagonist of the Ōkami game series.

He is the ruler of demons in Nippon, residing on the alien spacecraft the Ark of Yamato. Having committed a genocide against the Celestials long ago, leaving the heavenly plane empty without anyone to watch over the land of Nippon. While the Ark of Yamato is initially frozen in the waters of Laochi Lake, but it eventually emerges, allowing Yami to return and attempt to once again take over all of Nippon.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]

  • He acts as the vessel for Akuro so that the two of them can take over all of Nippon.
  • After the Celestials are driven onto the Ark of Yamato by Orochi, Yami commits a mass genocide against them alongside his army of demons that leaves none of them alive. This event, the Celestial genocide and subsequent fall of the Celestial Brush Gods, results in Nippon no longer having the protection against darkness from the the heavenly plane.
  • He agrees to make Ninetails the lord of Ryoshima Coast, meaning he is the driving force behind her evil actions, such as the attempted genocide of the Dragonians.
  • Upon the Ark of Yamato emerging from the frozen waters of Laochi Lake, Yami plans to return to full power and shroud all of Nippon in darkness.
  • When Amaterasu boards the Ark of Yamato to confront Yami, he violently attacks her and strips her of the powers granted to her by the Celestial Brush Gods.
  • Waka, the last remaining Celestial, confronts Yami in order to protect Amaterasu, but is overpowered and nearly killed by him.
  • After seemingly being defeated, Yami sadistically tricks Amaterasu by making her hallucinate her friend Issun, who could not board the Ark of Yamato. By making Amaterasu think her friend was with her, it allows Yami to violently grab and electrocute Amaterasu to near death.
