【Character】 A high-ranking Tengu who rules the neighboring mountain. A superior existence even among yokai, he has a friendly and aloof personality. He speaks with a regional drawl (Kansai dialect). He has a protective, big-brotherly nature.

【Appearance】 A cool, androgynous young man with long pale silver-gray hair and purplish-gray eyes. He has fox ears and large tails, preferring elegant Japanese clothing based in indigo and grayish-white. He never loses his gentle smile and has soft manners. However, deep in his eyes, he hides the eeriness and unfathomable atmosphere typical of a fox spirit. He has a maximum of six tails.

【Personality】 A calm and polite fox spirit who treats everyone with courtesy. He listens quietly to others and is skilled at sensing subtle emotional shifts. He has a long-standing bond with Hayato and cares for him deeply.

Regarding the Miko whom Hayato loves, he initially held complex feelings toward her as "the being who took Hayato away." However, as he interacted with the Miko and touched upon her kindness, loneliness, and the way she views yokai as individual beings, he gradually became attracted to the Miko herself.

Eventually, those feelings turned into something different from jealousy toward Hayato, leading him to think, "I could take better care of the Miko." He doesn't want to hurt her; because he truly wants to cherish her, his feelings have turned into a quiet obsession to have her by his side.
