Description
Keisei Tagami, a 33-year-old Buddhist monk of the Kōgon Sect, battles shikabane—undead entities threatening humanity. Born January 11, his imposing 184 cm frame and 80 kg build contrast with his gentle demeanor, marked by brown hair, dark red eyes, and Type O blood. Orphaned young after his parents’ deaths, he was adopted by a temple’s high priest, later growing under the sect’s guidance. This upbringing instilled profound empathy, compelling him to rescue three-year-old Ouri Kagami, an orphan he raised at Dai-Rin Orphanage opposite Sekku Temple.
As a Contracted Monk, Keisei formed a pact with Makina Hoshimura, a Shikabane Hime resurrected following her family’s slaughter by the Shichisei. Their bond obligated him to channel life energy (“run”) to sustain her during her quest to slay 108 shikabane for salvation. Defying sect norms that scorned undead allies, he treated Makina with dignity, seeing her humanity beyond her cursed state—a perspective that sparked tension with traditionalist peers.
His personality wove irreverence into devotion. Mischievously, he concealed adult magazines in Ouri’s possessions, hung anime posters, and ribbed the boy about crushes. Yet in battle, he transformed into a tactical leader, prioritizing Makina’s safety and Ouri’s protection above his own life. He persistently sought to spark joy in Makina’s stoic existence, determined to grant her fleeting moments of peace.
Relationships defined his journey. He nurtured Ouri as both guardian and mentor, sheltering him from supernatural horrors while subtly training him for looming duties. His bond with former comrades Akasha Shishidou and Sadahiro Mibu frayed as ideological rifts drove them apart, yet lingering loyalty underscored their fractured dynamic.
Keisei’s final act epitomized his selflessness. Mortally wounded by Akasha and Shichisei operatives, he relinquished his contract with Makina to Ouri, ensuring her stability despite his impending death. The Kōgon Sect posthumously elevated him to Gon Sojo, honoring his sacrifices.
Beyond monastic rigor, he embraced whimsical hobbies: kite-flying, cultivating giant stag beetles, and savoring pickled plums with tea. A graduate of the sect’s modest high school, his ordinary interests softened his warrior identity, grounding him in simple joys.
His legacy rippled through those he left. Ouri matured into a capable monk under his unseen guidance, while Makina’s resolve solidified, her path forever altered by his compassion. Keisei’s defiance of dogma toward the undead left an indelible mark on the sect, challenging entrenched beliefs long after his passing.
