Tokyo Akazukin centers on an 11-year-old girl who typically goes by the name Akazukin (Little Red Riding Hood). She harbors a morbid obsession with an entity known only as Mr. Wolf, desiring nothing more than to be consumed by him to terminate her "immortal" existence. Akazukin has lost all her memories and remains unaware of her true identity. The motive behind her wish to be eaten by Mr. Wolf is unknown even to herself; it is merely a desire buried deep within her consciousness.
