Shimogamo, Yasaburou

下鴨矢三郎

Yasaburou, the third son of Souichirou Shimogamo, is a tanuki residing in modern Kyoto who is fascinated by the everyday lives of humans, tanuki, and tengu. Following his father's death, he and his three brothers gained a reputation as Kyoto's four tanuki losers and were branded as disgraces to the tanuki name. Nevertheless, Yasaburou leads a carefree existence, shapeshifting into humans to observe the interactions between humans and tanuki, all while looking after Akadama-sensei, an elderly tengu.
