Asanoha Douji (麻ノ葉童子, Asanoha Douji) is a fictional character in the manga series of Shaman King. She is the mother of Asaha Douji, who would later come to be known as Asakura Hao.

Appearance
Asanoha is a beautiful woman who has long blond hair tied in a white ribbon and golden brown eyes.

Personality
She appears to be a loving mother but when mad and annoyed she acts likes Anna, who slaps Hao in the face.

Past
Once living in a village, many people saw her talking to herself, although this was just because of her ability to see spirits. However at that time was it believed that such people were foxes in disguise, so they hired a man named Densen Hoshi to deal with her.

As his men found her small hut they decided to tie her and burn down her hut, believing it would make her reveal her true form. Thus Asanoha, not being a fox, burned to death in the flames, leaving behind her infant son Asaha, who was being shunned as the "Demon Child" and "Son of the Fox".

Invading the Plants
Asanoha appears in the Great Spirit and apologizes to everyone over her son's behavior. While Hao was saying that humans are the ones the killed her, she gives him the legendary left slap saying that when you hate people you hate yourself, if you forgive them you are saved as she is not as weak as he thinks.

Trivia

 * According to Hao, Kyōyama Anna greatly resembles his mother, which explains his apparent kindness towards her.
