Aozaru

The blue monkey that dwells inside Keis sword. Actually he is a part of Youkos conscience who is constantly teasing her. Aozaru Aozaru? is the physical manifestation of the sentient spirit of the scabbard of the Suigt the Water Monkey Sword. The sword is a royal treasure to the kingdom of Kei and can only be wielded by the kingdoms rightful ruler as such Youko is the only one who can draw the sword from its sheath. The sword was forged from a water demon that a previous great ruler of Kei had defeated while the scabbard was created from a longtailed monkey demon. From the scabbard hangs a large jewel that can heal the one who holds it. The sword is not only capable of killing demons and sages and breaking substances like metal chains but is also capable of presenting visions of the past future and things in the distance. The sword and scabbard must be kept together otherwise the phantasms of the sword appear unchecked while the spirit of the scabbard is free to act as it wishes. When Youko loses the scabbard it appears in the form of Aozaru the blue monkey and taunts her with her doubts while the sword presents her with visions of things she does not wish to see. Eventually Youko overcoming her own doubts kills the monkey and picks up the dead scabbard. Because she has killed Aozaru the sword can be drawn from the sheath by anyone though it can be wielded effectively only by Youko. Source: Wikipedia
