Overview

An Advance Unit Kur piloted Imotako, having owned it as far back as the invasion of Sumer. The suit kept the alien in the fight on Earth until Momo destroyed it. Its build copies a clay dogu figure shown with its palms pressed together, fitting the figurine motif shared across the exosuit line, and like the others it borrows its name from an octopus dish, here meaning roughly potato octopus.

Function

Imotako ranks as a large suit, stretching about two meters with a flattened frame. Long limbs end in broad four-fingered hands and feet, while the flat torso carries a visible spinal ridge flanked by two spiked growths at its middle. The head holds framed round eyes and a hollow circular mouth. Its central trick is a transformation power: striking a target reshapes it into a creature wearing Imotako's own facial features, turning victims into subordinates. The Kur's real body also sits in a separate dimension, letting it phase through solid objects.

Notable Users

The lone Imotako Kur surfaces during the chaos at Moe Moe Kikoho, stirred up by Serpo and a swarm of alien clones. It converts struck Serpo into its lookalike minions, and Momo with a Serpo ally beat the clones' faces using irons to flip them back to normal, a cycle that keeps repeating as the clones are pushed back. Urged by the Serpo to take down Imotako directly, Momo struggles against its phasing until she recalls her grandmother Seiko's teaching about turning impossible ideas into reality. Channeling that, she fires the Moe Moe Tri-Beam, disintegrating Imotako Kur and killing it.
