Calikarcha

Calikarcha (カリカーチャ, Karikācha) is a Shinigami.

Appearance
Calikarcha is considered strange-looking even by Shinigami standards, having eight eyes lined up two rows on each side of his head. It also has a sort of peak and has mammoth tusks, but smaller. It seems to wear armor with shoulder pads that may be made up of bones and fur. He also has tattoos on his arms and these seem to be signs of Indians in the Human World.

Character
Calikarcha has a penchant for blueberries but dislikes sunlight.

Conception
Takeshi Obata said that he based Calikarcha's design off of Balinese bird masks.



Trivia

 * Calikarcha appears only once in the anime: in the first episode in Ryuk's flashback, being "messed up" by the other Shinigami.
 * He has the same type of Death Note as Gelus.
