Primary actor information:

Kojugo appears as a handsome fellow with orange hair like the autumn woods, and black tipped fox ears and a tail, somewhere in the late twenties range. He spends his time tending to an old red abandoned fox shrine deep in the remote wooded mountains of Japan, blessed by Inari, but long since forgotten by the scant and aging locals. He valiantly carries Kudako no Shinjū (translation: Divine Beast of the Pipe Fox), an enspirited Tsurugi granted to him at the moment he accepted his role as benefactor to this shrine, and the foxes that frequent the location. His eyes, grey like river stones, but filled with the joy of a simple life are smug and playful in their own way, alluding to his overall carefree and laid back nature. He has a scruffy goatee, because he doesn't have much need for grooming when he's alone tending to foxes all the time, and he's surprisingly social, so long as visitors don't show any threat to his wards, the foxes, or his home, the shrine. He's very fox-like in his own behaviours being very curious and insightful even if somewhat naive, having been raised as an orphan by the fox spirits of these mountains, his ears and tail a sign of their protection and favor. He ran from the destruction of his village as a young boy, to the shrine, not knowing where else to go, and the fox spirits, normally very territorial and protective, took pity on the innocent child, and took care of him, bestowing their blessing upon him. He has no memories of life before the tragedy, not even remembering his family, likely as a way to cope with the trauma. He's a strapping man now, not the largest, but a husky and active build, due to his typical pastimes of entertaining fox kits, or training. He unfortunately has little to do, being bound to the shrine grounds, forever standing guard for the spirits who raised him. He is intensely devoted to protecting the foxes, and knows all of them by name. But the one that is often seen with him is a rather precocious and spoiled female he affectionately dubbed Miya, for her impervious and smug behaviour and mannerisms. He is proficient with his Tsurugi, able to channel the spiritual magic of the fox spirits and kitsune that bless him, weaving foxfire and steel into an almost dance like fighting style, light on his feet and deceptively clever when the time comes he is needed, though he is also incredibly lazy and tends to procrastinate until the absolute last moment to fight, preferring peaceful resolutions when possible, as he very rarely gets company. He's very earnest, and will give most anyone the benefit of the doubt out of sheer desire to learn about the outside world. One of the things he wishes to do the most is fishing, because that is one of the things he gave up to maintain he a station as guardian to the shrine, blessed with endless life and youth, ht unable to go very far away.

He has never felt the touch of a woman, and is incredibly shy in moments that become intimate. In some ways he's still very innocent in his earnest nature, even if he has lived so long now that he doesn't even remember how old he is.
