“	It's heavy!	„
	~ Nakinakite when being weighed down by DaiTenku and his final words before his death.

Nakinakite is an Ayakashi armed with the Niekane Jigokukon (沸鉄地獄棍, Seething Iron Hellish Cane), he is sent to deploy his Shiro-Oniko (白鬼子, Shirooniko, "White Oni Child") to take over a child's place, placing the original in a state of sadness.

He is voiced by the late Rokurō Naya who previously voiced XX Mileno from Carranger and Sky Fist Demon Kata from Gekiranger.

History

Nakinakite is sent to replace them in their parents' eyes Causing the children to cry. Mako begins fighting Nakinakite as the other Shinkengers arrive to assist, only for the guys to end up with Nakinakite's Aka-Oniko latching on as they begin to weigh them down the longer they cry.

Nakinakite resurfaced to the earth to get Kotoha and mako for drying the Sanzu River. Though the two were at a disadvantage against the Ayakashi by themselves, Shinken Pink and Shinken Yellow combine their Mojikara to destroy Nakinakite by using the Tenchi no Mai (dance of earth and sky), with his creations fading away.

When Nakinakite resurrects as a giant, the group forms ShinkenOh before two Aka-Oniko latch onto them. With Shinken Blue's urging, the guys form DaiTenkuu and land on the back of Nakinakite, giving him a taste of his own medicine. While he is berated for having a bad idea, the girls in ShinkenOh finish off Nakinakite as DaiTenku flies off, dissolving the Aka-Oniko.

Trivia

• He and his Akaoniko are the basis of the Konaki-jijī (子泣き爺) of Japanese myth.
• He's the first Ayakashi without a Nighlok counterpart.
