Hanagawa no Issei is a miniature Ayakashi residing within the districts of Tokyo while taking the appearance of a one-centimeter-tall elderly man. He is known among a small number of spiritually aware residents as the Tiny Housewalker due to his habit of traveling silently between homes. The Ayakashi possesses no legendary role, sacred lineage, or connection to the balance of the world. He instead survives through ordinary wandering while offering minor curse removal in exchange for shelter.
