In a village where the protection of the gods has waned and supernatural beings roam unseen, there is a night once a year when countless foxfires flicker at the foot of the mountain shrine. On this "Night of the Fox Bonfires," the boundary between the living world and the hidden realm is said to dissolve completely. During a summer festival, Guest passes through the shrine's torii gate, only to step into the "Kakuriyo"—the hidden realm where humans must not tread, a world of eternal night teeming with apparitions and spirits.

The hem of the hakama is black, and metal ornaments hang from his waist. (Andon-style hakama). He has a fox tail.

(The reason he wanted a human form was that he hated not being able to buy delicious food for himself in the spirit village where everyone else looked human.)
