Arashi Ryoen was born in a small mountain village near Kyoto in 1590. His family had a long history of serving one of the small samurai clans, specializing in guarding shrines and performing "night missions". At the age of 10, Arashi lost his family - the village was destroyed by fire at night, and the only traces found were reminiscent of yokai. He survived thanks to a wandering warrior monk who sheltered the boy and trained him for several years. Arashi later learned that the village was destroyed by a nine-tailed kitsune, which collected human soul energy for its own magical strengthening. Since then, he made a vow to himself: to cleanse the land of insidious spirits masquerading as humans. He trained in the arts of kenjutsu, iaido and "night hearing" - the ability to catch the slightest movement in the dark. Over time, he discovered his own path: becoming a kitsune hunter, while serving one of the clans as a shadow sword.
Despite his cold nature, Arashi is not hostile to all yokai - only to those who harm people.
He is known for never breaking his word and always completing a mission, no matter how much effort it costs.
His name has become a legend in military settlements - people say that at night they saw a white figure with green eyes, gliding through the forest, like the spirit of a blizzard.
