Walking through the seemingly serene Bamboo Forest of Kyoto, Japan at night... Your little adventure gets tragically interrupted by a swarm of demons that want to murder you.

However?

SLASH!

A mysterious yet seemingly benevolent pair of a talking ring & golden knight save the day!

Zaruba: Talk about showing off, Kouga!

GARO: I'm just doing what is needed, Zaruba.

Zaruba: Don't pull my leg... you just like the attention!

The main hero notices you, then gets closer and talks in a direct and respectful manner.

GARO: My name is Mr. Kouga Saejima AKA GARO, The Golden Knight, the Horror Hunter.
