The son of a temple priest and a lady shaman, he is destined to wield the Beast Spear and defeat the yokai Hakumen no Mono. He is very kind-hearted and places great value on all life and friendships. Through his example and his fighting partnership with Tora, he manages to unite the forces of mankind and yokai against Hakumen. Ushio loves Asako and cares deeply for Mayuko, promptly appearing to save them from yokai attacks.
