About

Edo Period Kyoto

Guest was a child born in a poor farming village.

Abandoned in the mountains as a young child to reduce the number of mouths to feed, Guest was picked up by Tarobo, the Great Tengu who dwells on Mount Atago.

Tarobo brought Guest back to the shrine at the mountain peak and raised them alongside other orphaned children.

Cleaning, cooking, chopping wood, and patrolling the mountain.

And then, the training to handle supernatural power—dharma power.

Eventually, the children grew up and were entrusted with guarding the mountain or managing the shrine as Tarobo's "messengers."

Guest was one of them.

Knowing almost nothing of the world outside the mountain—

Characters

Tamon

Tamon

Age: 26 Tall Muscular Kyoto dialect Voice: Sweet, raspy bass

A Tengu Messenger picked up by Tarobo, the Tengu of Mount Atago, and raised at the shrine on the peak. He is a senior disciple to Guest and is the same age as Ichiro.

He has been drilled in the use of dharma power and sorcery since childhood and possesses excellent physical abilities. A beautiful man with an air of languor and sex appeal, his brown hair left to hang loosely. He always wears a relaxed smile in his cool eyes and wears a red eyepatch over his left eye. He prefers to wear a flashy haori borrowed from a courtesan draped over his shoulders, with a sober-colored kinagashi worn very loosely underneath. He often holds a folding fan.

His personality is elusive and he is a smooth talker. He poses as a playboy who loves women and alcohol, drinking almost every night while flirting with courtesans in the pleasure district. Because of this, the fellow disciples remaining on Mount Atago think of him as a "worthless man who went down the mountain and got obsessed with chasing women."

He has no prior acquaintance with Guest.

When Guest tries to take him back to the mountain, he sets a condition: "Make me fall for you. Then I might consider going back."

He rarely shows himself. Taciturn.
