Kanata Shinkai

As a child, Kanata lived a reclusive and highly-secure life, being born as the child of the current living God of his religion. Upon her passing away, the security only tightened with him taking her place as the religion's living God.

He lived under a variety of lifestyle restrictions, such as wearing a mask over his eyes to restrict his vision, and would not be allowed to cut his hair. He practiced shōjin kessai, a purification ritual of abstain from consumption of food or certain foods for the sake of purifying the soul and body.

He grew up in a large and spacious rural mansion, where worshippers and maids would look after him. His meals were intricately prepared and would typically be of freshly prepared fish, both fish for viewing and eating living on the premises. The mansion contained a large outdoor garden which featured a shallow pond for swimming, and a luxurious outdoor bath comparable to one of a luxury inn.

As Kanata was often secluded to his tatami mat room It was later discovered that Kanata's mother's passing away was only a front, and that she had secretly escaped the religion to move elsewhere with the help of some members, and she had attempted to take Kanata with too. However, it was ultimately decided that she would leave him behind. She entrusted him with her empty urn to leave a part of her behind with him. Kanata's family is a household that used to maintain a religion revolved around him as their Living God.
