Akadama is a Karasu-Tengu from Nyoigatake mountain and serves as the teacher of the Shimogamo brothers. The brothers occasionally check on him and look after him by tidying his cluttered apartment and bringing him supplies and liquor. He injured his back in an accident, which makes walking difficult and flying impossible. He spends his days in seclusion and rarely leaves his apartment. He kidnapped Benten when she was younger and raised her, teaching her tengu magic and giving her his most valued treasures. After she reached womanhood, she chose to leave Akadama's side to pursue her own goals. Despite that, Akadama still cares for her and always feels lonely when she is not around.
