Jirou Azuma

An eccentric high schooler with ninja training, this cocky yet clever student possesses the rare gift of communicating with animals. Though often prideful and prone to reckless fighting, his compassion drives him to protect any creature in distress. After rescuing a wounded Ragou, a life-threatening accident leads to a historic fusion between human and mononoke. Now a powerful hybrid, he shares a turbulent but deep bond with Ragou, utilizing the creature's immense strength to augment his own combat abilities.
