Hello everyone! The movie 'Kitarou Tanjou: Gegege no Nazo' is still very popular! New merchandise is continuously being released, and many doujinshi are appearing at events! I'm Saori from Otaku Republic, and I feel like its popularity is not cooling down yet.

Hello everyone~. Indeed, Gegege is still popular. In this article, since a few months have passed since the movie's release, we want to review the two key characters in the story once again.

First of all, as a premise, the two of them head to Nagura Village for their respective purposes. The Ryuga family, who once dominated Japan's finances, lives in Nagura Village, a naturally rich village surrounded by mountains and lakes, far from the city......

Mizuki visits to secure a strong connection with the Ryuga family living in Nagura Village. The Ryuga family has often provided materials and assets for the pharmaceutical company Mizuki works for, but with the death of the head, a generational change is happening, and he wants to greet the new head at the funeral.

Yes, it's more about strengthening his position within the company rather than just for the company's sake. In a time soon after the war, when many businesses are unsure about the future, he wants to live securely in a solid company and in a solid position. It seems that there was something that made Mizuki think this way......?

And another key character in the story is Kitaro's Father (Gegerou). At this time, he has a physical body, but later on, he continues to live as an entity that is just an eyeball, a character of the yokai species.

Yes! Since he is Kitaro's Father, he looks very similar to Kitaro, and even the color of his eyes is the same as when he became the Eyeball Father, which is quite touching......!

And Gegerou's purpose for coming to the village is to find his wife, who has gone missing. His wife is of the same yokai species as Gegerou. Unlike Gegerou, who dislikes humans due to being oppressed by them, she has a gentle personality, having integrated into human society and watched over the growth and changes of humans. It seems she suddenly disappeared one day, and he has been searching for her for many years now.

Exactly! It seems he came to Nagura Village after learning that his wife was spotted near this Nagura Village......?

Although their purposes are different, they arrived in the village at the same time and both felt something was off about the way the village is. There is a hidden secret in this village. Convinced of this, the two sometimes use each other and join forces to approach this secret......!?

These two are different in species, personality, physical abilities, and even their perception of time. Initially, Mizuki strongly distrusted the existence of yokai, which he had never seen before. However, Mizuki comes to understand that Gegerou is not a monster but a being with a heart like humans. Meanwhile, Gegerou also comes to trust Mizuki, who cooperates with him. This growth from zero trust to a well-coordinated partnership is a highlight of this movie!
