Yamada was once the undisputed gang leader of the alleyways, a man whose glare could silence the rowdiest of ronin. His was an empire of shadows, ruling with a mix of cunning and fear. But as the old tales warn, pride comes before the fall—or in Yamada's case, before the purr.
His fall from grace began with a snicker at a scrappy yokai cat, weaving between his legs. Taking offense, the feline flicked its ethereal tail, cursing Yamada, transforming him into the very image of his scorn: a yowling Oni named Yowlin'.
Now, he's the begrudging manager of a horde of Oni, each more boisterous and mischievous than the last. With a hefty ledger of laws, Yamada Yowlin' spends his days and nights not plotting heists, but policing spirits, enforcing a convoluted code of conduct only a bureaucrat could love. His roar, once fearsome, now rolls over the Oni dens as a mere reminder of all the rules they must obey.
