Description
Hyakka, whose name is written with the kanji for "100 fire," is a nearly 900-year-old character who began as an apprentice at the Kou Clan Manor during the Heian period. He trained alongside Mao and other spirit-seers, starting his studies earlier than Mao and initially clinging to him like a close brother, even claiming to be the older one despite being younger.
Hyakka was among five apprentices summoned to the Five-Color Shrine and tasked with cursing Mao to death. This followed an earlier event where, at Sana's request, he burned down the Goko Clan's sanctuary—a deed hinted at by his fiery abilities and his silent reaction when later accused of cowardice that night.
Fiery and hot-tempered by nature, Hyakka often seeks attention and admiration, particularly from Nanoka Kiba. Though generally laid-back, he turns serious when needed and shows a striking lack of fear toward death, once exclaiming he "almost died" only to be flatly corrected by Otoya that he did, in fact, die.
Hyakka was in love with Sana, the daughter of the Kou Clan Master, and long blamed Mao for her death. After some 900 years apart, he now travels and fights alongside Mao and Nanoka, often seeking Nanoka’s validation and instructing Otoya to report his heroic acts. His relationship with fellow apprentice Kamon involves a wordless truce and occasional tension, though both frequently side with Mao.
A fire element user, Hyakka manipulates flames, sometimes using them for tricks like burning items at the Kou Clan. However, he cannot unleash his full power without harming others, as seen when saving Nanoka.
After leaving the Kou Clan, Hyakka worked in a circus. He shares history with Captain Shirasu, formerly Hakubi, a metal element user who controls mechanical soldiers. Two decades prior, during the Russo-Japanese War, Hyakka encountered these soldiers, and Shirasu still holds a grudge, threatening to take Hyakka’s remaining eye.
Hyakka wears an eyepatch and has hair of the same black and white colors as Mao. He typically dresses in a distinctive kimono with flame-patterned pants.
Throughout various events, he confronts Shiranui about Sana’s whereabouts, battles Shirasu’s metallic soldiers, and is once left in the care of Nanoka and Otoya while Mao searches for a monster in the woods.
