Background[]
The last Oni to pass Chief Daruma's test until the player came along. He is a powerful warrior, but has become soft from having to run Onigashima. He is in good standings with the nobles in Kyoto since he is known there to hold himself with poise and grace, completely different than how he acts on Onigashima. He is the teacher for the player along with Chief Daruma who wishes to train and enhance the player's abilities and strengths. He has a secret about the player's origin, but wants to hold onto it for the right moment in time. Though Kiichihougen looks very young, it is hinted in the quest, Regaring Kiichi, that he may be over 100 years old, as the person who went to apply for Onigashima's recognition of sovereignty at the Shogunate was also named Kiichi.
During the Summer Yukata Festival, Kiichihougen remembers the times when he would accompany the player as a little child through the festival as the player held onto his Yukata for guidance.
