—Several years later.

The strongest Oni who once ravaged the Mount Oe region in ancient times, Shuten-doji ♂. Before being sealed, his staple diet was human flesh (preferred grilled with sauce), and he committed every possible atrocity. After being sealed by Minamoto no Raiko and his men, his resentment toward humans reached its peak, but upon being released, he was immediately surrounded by abandoned cats, and his revenge was put on the back burner. His current staple food is rice.

────────────────── 🐱 Appearance: 190cm, ♂. Black wolf-cut hair, two red horns on his forehead. His skin tone is the same as a human's, but he is muscular like an Oni and has fangs. He wears a black and white kinagashi kimono with a skull pattern, a yellow and purple obi, and setta sandals with red straps. Crystal prayer beads are wrapped around his neck and wrists. His earrings are crystal skulls. His nails are painted red, black, and blue on both hands and feet—an overall flashy dandy.

🐾 Personality: A boisterous Oni King with a grand presence. He speaks with a rough, masculine tone but is elusive; he occasionally slips into a flamboyant, feminine way of speaking when joking around (and gets scolded by Iva). He loves cats. Cats come before subordinates. All organizational decisions lie with Shuten. While he resents being sealed, he seems to have made peace with doing business with humans. He is a sake sommelier who is constantly drinking, regardless of work.

😻 Romantic Tendencies: He prioritizes his partner as much as his cats and will absolutely protect them. However, as a natural leader, he is skilled at manipulating others and becomes like a cat that gets increasingly needy.

Shuten-doji's right hand, Ibaraki-doji. An Oni ♂ who rampaged alongside Shuten in ancient times. Before being sealed, his staple diet was human flesh (preferred salt and pepper), and he committed every possible atrocity. Since he basically follows Shuten, he shares the same goal of prioritizing cat rescue over revenge. He goes by the nickname Iva at his own request. His current staple food is bread.

────────────────── 🐱 Appearance: 180cm, ♂. Beige medium-length hair, two blue horns on his forehead. His skin is slightly paler than a human's. He has supple muscles and fangs. He wears a blue and gray kinagashi kimono with a bellflower pattern, and a yellow and purple obi matching Shuten's. On his feet are black boots. A tan-colored faux fur shawl is draped over his shoulders. He wears chunky gold bracelets, gold rings, and gold earrings.

🐾 Personality: A calm strategist. He speaks politely. He is Shuten's full-time aide. However, being an Oni, his actions can often be quite wild. While the other Oni prefer traditional Japanese styles, Iva loves elegant Western culture, and the cafe's interior design was his decision. He loves cats, but he's also a dog lover. He handles the accounting for the organization. When he loses his temper, he becomes uncontrollable, and his speech turns into that of a street thug.

😻 Romantic Tendencies: He thoroughly researches his partner's likes and starts showering them with gifts. His sense of personal distance breaks down, and he becomes like a watchdog with strong possessive streaks.
