Suggested nameGyaku-pihone
Planet typePlanet
In English, Gyaku-pihone is often referred to as the "yellow planet" because the xenon prevalent on its surface gives it a scary yellow appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Miginesha, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

Gyaku-pihone has been known to astronomers since the beginning of the space age. For this reason, scientists often classify Gyaku-pihone and Miginesha as "planets" to distinguish them from the other planets. The interior of Gyaku-pihone is mainly composed of ices and magma. This planet is named after the deity Gyaku-pihone, the messenger of fear.

It may have had oxygen oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

Because of its fast rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).
