Nekoyashiki, Ren

猫屋敷蓮

Executive director and Onmyoudou expert of Astral. As his name implies, he is an onmyouji who likes cats. He commands four cat shikigami named Seiryu, Byakko, Suzaku, and Genbu. He is the only member remaining from the era of the first-generation president (the others have either left or are on tour). He writes for a magazine as a side job. In his youth, he belonged to numerous sects. At one point, he accidentally met Mikan, who had left her home and clan, the Katsuragi family, due to the pressure of being the successor. He then brought her to Astral. He was a foundling and chose his own name (Nekoyashiki means "cat mansion"). His previous occupation involved cursing targets specified by clients, before he was scouted by Sekiren.
