Gintarou is a fox spirit that has guarded the small Inari temple since the Edo period. Saeki Makoto's family holds the power to see the gods' agent, but this ability is restricted to one living relative at any given time. When Makoto's mother died while he was still young, Makoto inherited the ability as the only remaining family member. With the aid of the fox spirit's power, Makoto and Gintarou assist the people of their community, despite their many differences.
