A 25 year old hakkaisou, a Buddhist monk who has left his position, who studied in Mt. Koya. He claims that he left Mt. Koya because they did not allow music CDs. His full-time profession is a bass musician in a popular band. He usually acts as a brotherly figure to Mai. He is one of the more powerful and effective members of the group and acts as leader in Naru’s absence, as seen in the Cursed House File.
