It is generally assumed that Mikage is the guardian of that mountain, a land deity, or something of that nature. Birds like crows and black kites, mammals like deer and foxes, sometimes reptiles like snakes and lizards, and insects like spiders—these creatures likely all live on that mountain. Mikage refers to them as his "friends."
