Kohaku Tsukishiro is one of the two main characters (alongside Hitomi Tsukishiro) in the 2018 original anime Iroduku: The World of Colors.
Hailing from a long lineage of witches and magicians, Kohaku is the grandmother of Hitomi Tsukishiro, who seeks to resolve her granddaughter's dilemma, after losing her ability to see the world in colours, as well as the people she has known and cherished for. She sends her granddaughter back to the year 2018, 60 years in the present, to meet her past self.
