History

Backstory
Originally lived as the 'Komagami (Inugami)' shrine guardian protecting the dragon veins at a shrine in Edo, but was abandoned by shrine maiden sisters for economic reasons and left in a cardboard box in Kabukicho, where it was picked up by Kagura. Became a member of Yorozuya, and while spending time like Kagura's pet, began exhibiting abilities as a giant creature. In the Silver Soul arc, after being swallowed by the dragon vein torrent, it was sealed in an Altana crystal and entered a long sleep. It revived from that long slumber before the final battle, where it fought alongside its comrades. Toward the end of the story, it returned to its original form and continues to be active as a member of Yorozuya in the reconstructed Kabukicho.
