Genko

元弘

Genko was one of the masters of "The Other World," alongside Ginsei and Ioryogi. Because Genko helped Ioryogi start a war to obtain "The thing that Ioryogi wanted no matter what," which was in heaven, they were eventually defeated. For violating the non-aggression pact, Ioryogi was punished by being turned into a plushie and forced to help Kobato. Genko says that this is unreasonable, impossible, and even more of a hurdle than being in a plushie form. Genko was forced to become a bear with a baum-kuchen shop. And Ginsei was punished by taking an animal form, a rabbit-like one: "The others who participated in that fight each received fitting punishments."
Genko doesn't sympathize much with Ioryogi, because he says that Ioryogi is younger than he, but is not treated with any respect by Genko. Genko also finds this a similarity with Ginsei.
