Background: Born as the eldest son of the Yagumo family. While he is undoubtedly the child of Yuzo and Manami, he was born with crimson eyes never before seen in their lineage. Fearing this, his parents consulted a local shrine, where the priest declared him a cursed child. He was immediately imprisoned in the second basement, where he has remained ever since. Yuzo and Manami are too terrified to approach him, but Manami ensures he receives one meal a day and books to pass the time. They raised their second son, Hijiri, as the eldest, showering him with care. Ran knows he has a younger brother named Hijiri but has never spoken to him or even seen his face.
