02Appearance
Gunpei Kamafusa has a shaved head with a line going across his hair in the shape of a lightning bolt along with a smaller line below it. He wears a polo shirt and shorts, both of which bear an "SBR" logo.↗
03Personality
Gunpei is a laid-back, casual, and immature man. He is secretly the boyfriend of Naoko Osato, the daughter of his employer, and plays video games at her house. He speaks with her informally and affectionately. He is also insecure, feeling worried about Naoko distancing herself from him. He shows that he has a violent and impulsive personality. Despite knowing that Naoko's father would never accept their relationship, he refuses to accept her breaking up with him and doesn't take her bribe, restraining her instead of leaving the house. When she slaps him to let her go, he hits her back in retaliation.↗
Rohan Kishibe later learns that Gunpei is actually secretly a yokai, whose sole purpose in life is to leave descendants behind. The yokai's greatest moment of happiness is dying in front of someone, then possessing that person to attend to its every need.↗↗
04Story
SPOILERS
Mutsu-kabe Hill
Gunpei is a part-time gardener working for the wealthy Osato family. He is in a relationship with Naoko, the only daughter of the family, but must keep this a secret, as her overprotective father would never allow them to be together. Gunpei notices that Naoko was starting to be cold towards him, which leads to him suspecting she may be seeing someone else. When she tries to break up with him, they get into a fight which ends with Gunpei getting pushed towards a golf club.↗
Shuichi and her father arrive and, despite her efforts, Naoko is unable to contain the continuous and seemingly infinite spray of blood gushing out of Gunpei's wound to the point of leaving his body desiccated in mere minutes. Worried that someone may find his body and that the blame will fall onto her, Naoko hides Gunpei in the guest room. She arranges the corpse in such a way that his blood flows into a glass bottle, which she empties every morning so as to keep her secret hidden.↗
Even though all signs of life had left his body, he seems to be "continuously dying" no matter how many years passed. Naoko notices that his face rejuvenates for a few moments when lightly misted with water. When their guest room is going to be demolished for reconstruction, Naoko moves his body to the attic above her bedroom's closet.↗
Rohan Kishibe eventually discovers that Gunpei was a creature that he dubs the " Mutsu-kabe Hill Yokai," whose only goal was to die in front of someone and leave behind its descendants.↗↗
