Benihime Inari Shrine

A small shrine to the fox kami Benihime, located in southeastern Tokyo, near Asakusa. The shrine was founded in the Taishou era and Benihime Inari gained a following by granting small wishes and protecting children during air raids on the city in World War II. These same children now bring their families to the shrine to pray for luck and safety. The shrine is currently managed by the Hachikuji family who inherited it from their mother.


Hachikuji Nana　八九時なな

The head of Benihime Inari Shrine and the eldest child of the Hachikuji family, Nana is a bit too timid to make any kind of matriarch. However, she is a caring and thoughtful person who can put her anxiety aside to take care of others. She is one of Junna's oldest friends and can often be found cleaning the shrine grounds between telling fortunes and selling omamori.

A benevolent kitsune who answers prayers with small amounts of supernatural protection and luck.

Other Friends

Kajiyashiki Kei 鍛冶屋敷 ケイ

Warm and friendly, he has acted as a guardian for the Hachikuji siblings since their parents died (he was and old friend of their father). Easy-going and reliable, can be an enabler. He works at a camera story in Shinjuku and also has a photography business on the side. He can see ghosts, but his sense for the supernatural isn't very strong. He was an underclassman friend of Hachikuji-papa, which is how he's connected to the family.

Doikawa Shrine

A temple dedicated to the mysterious Doikawa-no-Kamisama (or "Doikawa-sama" more casually"), an ancient deity with little known iformation about it. The current head of the temple is Doikawa Touko, a descendant of the famous onmyouji Abe-no-Seimei. The name "Doikawa," written with the characters for "earth well river" might hold a clue as to the nature or origin of kami housed there. The item that supposedly enshrines Doikawa-sama is an old mirror. The shrine doesn't have any particular specialties, but offers the usual fortune-telling and a wide array of omamori.


Doikawa Touko　土井川 東子

The head of Doikawa Shrine and a descendant of Abe-no-Seimei. She has a serious personality and can be strict, but her heart is not hardened. Her sense of justice is strong. Her current goal is completing, or at least updating, a codex of the supernatural. She was a mentor to Junna, not old enough to be teacher but not young enough to be an upperclassman.

CAUTION!
SPOILERS FOR LATER VOLUMES AHEAD!!!
