It was discovered that Yomi had the skill of sight that allowed her to see phantoms and supernatural foes. Following a period of training, Yomi would prove to be a skilled combatant and a prodigy vanquisher. As a result, she became Naraku's heir and given the Isayama family sword along with the spiritual beast Rangurren. Unknown to her, Yomi was resented by her cousin Mei who believed that the sword and beast were her heritage that had been taken from her.

Overview
Personality and attributes
A part of her was noted to had hated her uncle Naraku for not making her the head of the family. This anger extended to her adoptive cousin Yomi as she resented her for being named as heir to the Isayama clan. Such feelings did not manifest openly but were secretive thoughts that she kept to herself. Mitogawa was able to sense these within her and deemed them as sufficient emotions that would feed a Bane Stone. As a result, under the influence of the stone, she was responsible for the calculated murder of her uncle Naraku and orchestrating the events that saw Yomi being removed from the family. She would take the Isayama sword that she believed was her birthright and saw Yomi removed from the family home. However, during moments when the stone began rejecting her, she became assaulted by despair at her actions before the Bane Stone led her to continue her path of destruction.
