Can I target Akuma no Oni Exp 2 with the action from The Maw's Grave while he is dead and in discard ?

Akuma no Oni (Experienced 2)

During the Action Phase, Akuma cannot bow or be targeted. After Akuma enters play: Destroy your rightmost province. Once per game, after an attacking army that contains Akuma destroys a province: Destroy another of the Defender’s Provinces.

The Maw's Grave

Your Nonhuman Personalities have +1F. You do not gain or lose Honor. You can not take Political actions. Open: Bow this Stronghold: Bring a target dead Shadowlands Nonhuman Personality you own into play, waiving costs. At the end of the turn, remove it from the game.
