History: Chikuoun was a female Daimon specially created by Professor Tomoe for Eudial after she, as per his suggestion, located an individual with a pure heart for the waltz and a wish for the future: an elderly English gentleman by the name of Edwards. The product of the fusion of a victrola and a copy of the record "Our Wish for the Future" with a Daimon Egg, her purpose, like that of all of Eudial's Daimons, was not to extract Heart Crystals from human beings but rather to serve as a bodyguard and living weapon for her own personal use. 
                 Summoned to battle Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune when the two Outer Soldiers stole the Heart Crystal Eudial had extracted from Edwards, Chikuoun, after dealing with some minor problems concerning her fancy ballroom gown, ended up attacking the Inner Soldiers instead with her explosive blue roses and energy blasts once they showed up. While the assault was brought to an abrupt end when the Daimon was struck head on by Sailor Uranus' "World Shaking", the magical attack did little more than destroy the dress she wearing, leaving the monster virtually unharmed.
                 After being criticized by Sailor Moon due to the fact that her "Waltz From Hell" involved the throwing of giant notes and symbols instead of using music as a weapon, Chikuoun - inspired by her adversary's critique of what a proper phonograph monster should be doing ^_^; - obliged by attacking both her and the others with her "Devil's Yodel", which was of the latter prescribed nature, though this was quickly brought to an end after Tuxedo Mask shattered the record she was playing with one of his roses. Throwing her funnel-shaped speaker at Tuxedo Mask in a fit of anger, Chikuoun, suddenly finding herself defenseless and vulnerable as a result of her actions, ended up being destroyed by Sailor Moon's "Moon Spiral Heart Attack".

Abilities: In her original form, Chikuoun could emit blue energy from her right hand that could either be released as a massive burst with enough force to knock over a human being or be used to charge up the blue roses she wore as accessories which could subsequently be thrown at her adversaries as explosive energy projectiles. In her second form, Chikuoun had a old-fashioned, wind-up victrola incorporated into her body which could be employed in a variety of music-based attacks initiated by her cranking the handle located on her right hip. "The Waltz From Hell", for example, involved the release of a continuous stream of giant musical notes and symbols from the funnel-shaped speaker in the vicinity of her left shoulder that would rain down on her opponents from above in an attempt to crush them. "The Devil's Yodel" - which required a record to be performed - was a sonic attack involving the Daimon's own off-key, high-piched yodeling, the sound of which induced great pain in the listener by allegedly "stimulating the human brain and destroying it". Luckily for the Sailor Soldiers, Chikuoun never got to finish implementing this attack.
Paraphernalia: In her original form,
Chikuoun's fancy ballroom gown was adorned with a series of blue roses that could be detached, charged with blue energy, and thrown as explosive projectiles. In her second form, the Daimon used a record to perform her "Devil's Yodel" and could also use her funnel-shaped speaker as a last-ditch effort throwing weapon.
