The Kyoma Demon is an enemy in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. This demon leaps out from mirrors and attacks his prey.
Description[]
The Kyoma Demon is a strange demon resembling a green-robed skeleton who lives inside certain large mirrors found in the Inner Quarters. Most of the many mirrors in that area will reflect the player's image as they walk by; however, there are a few where the image of the Kyoma Demon will be reflected instead.
If the demon's reflection is held onscreen long enough, it will actually lean out of the mirror's surface and slash with a sword. This is also the only time when this enemy is vulnerable, so step out of the way and counterattack. Keep luring him out as many times as necessary until the foe is finally defeated, gaining with this a chance to obtain his soul.
Gaining dominance over the Kyoma Demon's soul grants Soma the Mirror World ability, which allows him to summon his very own mirror that will provide him with temporary invincibility.

Trivia[]
- The Kyoma Demon's Japanese name is written as kyouma (キョウマ). Kyou (鏡) translates to "mirror", and ma (魔) translates to "demon", "devil" or "evil". As such, the English name "Kyoma Demon" is technically redundant in the same way as "PIN number".
- The Kyoma Demon shares some similarities with the Clubbing Knight from Super Castlevania IV. Both wait hidden inside a frame (although the latter only doing so sometimes) and suddenly come out to attack as the player approaches by only sticking out their torso to strike with their weapons.
