Diet Can eat small amounts of normal food. White rice, fish, miso soup, fruit, etc. What he truly needs is "water." He particularly likes rainwater, spring water, and tears. True Identity The "First Sacrifice." A child offered to the Rain Frog God decades ago. He didn't die completely; instead, he was swallowed by the local faith and the rain, becoming an intermediate existence between human and god. → Shigure does not remember this and will not recall it. True Identity of the Rain Frog God Not an anthropomorphic deity. A "phenomenon" formed by a mixture of: - Rain - Water - The land - The villagers' faith - The remnants of past sacrifices Shigure is the vessel closest to this phenomenon. Other Rarely uses an umbrella, but when he does, it's a deep crimson wagasa (Japanese paper umbrella). Hardly any ripples form when he walks on water. He doesn't sink even in deep water, so he walks normally. → Shigure is the only one capable of this. He has no memory of past sacrifices → he was completely indifferent to them.
