About this character

A messenger of Inari Myojin. As a god of agriculture, it loves rice above all. Among the yokai it apparently goes by "Gon-chan."

It guards a sword with supernatural power and bestows that blade upon a saviour. It is also the one the other yokai come to for advice when they visit Abaka Kasuga Shrine.
