- akujo wicked woman; ugly woman
Used in fiction and gossip for a scheming, seductive woman; in modern Japanese it almost always means wicked, not ugly.
彼女は小説の中の悪女を演じた。
Kanojo wa shōsetsu no naka no akujo o enjita.
She played the wicked woman in the novel.
あの悪女に騙されたくない。
Ano akujo ni damasaretakunai.
I don't want to be deceived by that wicked woman.
⚖️ Don't confuse with 醜女 (shikome, 'ugly woman'); 悪女 now primarily means wicked, not ugly.
