He is actually a human whose lifespan was lengthened by the Aka no Ou. He encountered Kyo and his group at the fourth Goyosei Gate (he ask Shinrei to go before him, brcause he want to meet again Yuya) and fought against Benitora. He managed to severely wound Benitora before he was defeated.
He knows many things about the Mibu Clan and knows Nozomu Shiina very well
