Anime
Shortly after the Shikoku Hachijūhakki Yakō arrives in Ukiyoe Town, he faces Yura and burns her shikigami paper with his flames before the Sanba Garasu chase him away. He later appears to rescue Gangi Kozō from a losing battle against Kappa, and serves as a bodyguard for Sodemogi-sama along with Tearai Oni. He once again battles the Sanba Garasu, but is defeated and killed when the three of them create a wind funnel which diverts his own flames back toward him.
