History
Taigokumaru was a leader of a demon clan, and father of Tsukuyomaru, who later fell in love with a human and would have a half-human daughter named Shizu. That she later turned away from her father as well as a hereditary choice of guarding the barrier. And this departure caused Taigokumaru to kill hos own son, but did not kil Shizu when he realized that she was pregnant with her grandson, as she needed Shiori to be the next guardian of the barrier. Taigokumaru made a deal with the neighboring village that they hand over the granddaughter that he would leave the village. And after Shiori was born, the villagers ostracized and handed over to the demon. However, Taigokumaru betrayed the villagers and attacked the village.
