Ayame (あやめ Ayame?) is a ferry girl, or deliverer of the dead, like Botan. Her chief purpose in Spirit World seems to be doing research for Koenma. Furthermore, the manga seems to hint at a love affair between Ayame and Koenma, or rather an infatuation that Koenma has for her.
Synopsis[]
Dark Tournament Saga[]
Ayame appears at the end of the saga. She appears going through a wall and telling Koenma that she found what he had commissioned and then told of the tragedy that happened to Toguro fifty years ago.

Epilogue[]
At the end of the manga featuring a manga, she is concerned about Koenma's state of discouragement without realizing that she is the same, Botan sees this and tells Koenma the situation and then invites them to a dinner where at one point she leaves them alone. He apologizes for worrying her and she tells him that even if his father is fired, reikai will continue to support Koenma (manga exclusive).
Movies[]
In the anime, which follows the movies in lack of canon accuracy when compared to the manga, Koenma may still be interested in Kotennyo, because he shows no real interest in Ayame outside of his majestic pride in her work.
