right|thumb|Aonyōbō as seen in Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki. (also called Ao-nyōbō and Ao nyōbō) is a Yōkai in Japanese mythology.
==Mythology== The Aonyōbō is a blue-skinned ogre-like spirit of poverty and misfortune who takes the appearance of an ancient court noblewoman. Covered in many kimono of older eras, that are now tattered and moth-ridden, she wears the white face of ancient courtiers who have high-painted eyebrows and black teeth.
