Kigaan is a Youma serving Jadeite in the Sailor Moon anime, a monster who poses as a grim bus driver to spirit away young women and drain their energy for the Dark Kingdom.
In disguise she takes the shape of a severe bus driver, her cap tugged low to hide her eyes. Her true monster form is a female humanoid whose skin runs brown and green beneath a mane of long red hair.
Cold and single-minded, Kigaan follows Jadeite's orders without hesitation, unmoved by the frightened passengers she carries toward their doom.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
Her task is to round up the girls who visit the Hikawa Shrine, where Jadeite works as caretaker and hands out good-luck charms laced with dark energy. Once a charm is triggered it drops its owner into a daze, and the entranced girls board the route bus near Sendai Hill that Kigaan pilots. When the riders black out, the vehicle drifts through a hole torn in the sky into another dimension, where she harvests their energy for her master.
Too nervous at first to climb aboard, Usagi eventually boards disguised as a bus attendant with Luna at her side. Discovering the unconscious passengers, she orders the driver to stop, but Kigaan hauls them all into the other realm anyway. Meanwhile Rei Hino uncovers Jadeite's scheme at the shrine, and when she confronts him he opens a portal that drags her and her ravens Phobos and Deimos through as well.
In that other dimension Kigaan catches the falling Rei and sheds her disguise for her real shape. Sailor Moon's Moon Tiara Action misses as the monster ducks while gripping Rei in a headlock, until Phobos and Deimos peck at her and force her to let go. Snatching the tiara out of the air becomes her undoing, since it winds around her and pins her arms long enough for Rei to become Sailor Mars for the very first time and burn the creature away with Fire Soul. With Kigaan gone the portal begins to seal, Ami holds it open, and Tuxedo Mask returns the buses and their sleeping riders safely to Sendai Hill. Notably she is the first monster of the day the show does not have Sailor Moon defeat, and she fills the role Jadeite himself plays as the bus driver in the manga.
Kigaan is a Youma who serves Jadeite in the original Sailor Moon anime. She disguises herself as a stern bus driver to lure young women onto a cursed bus and drain their energy for the Dark Kingdom.
Kigaan targets girls who visit the Hikawa Shrine and receive cursed good-luck charms from Jadeite. Once a charm activates, its owner falls into a daze and boards Kigaan's route bus, which then drifts into another dimension so she can harvest their energy.
In her true monster form, Kigaan is a female humanoid with brown and green skin and long red hair, a stark contrast to her disguise as a bus driver with her cap pulled low.
Sailor Mars defeats Kigaan with her first-ever attack, Fire Soul, right after transforming for the very first time to save Rei Hino from Kigaan's grip.
Yes. Kigaan is the first monster of the day in the series that Sailor Moon herself does not defeat, since Sailor Mars finishes her off instead.
