 "I grew up with Gajumaru. I was born in Tokunoshima, a small island between Okinawa and Kagoshima. Gajumaru grew all around our house, at my school, and throughout our island, watching over and protecting us.


When I was a child, I was taught that a spirit named “Kenmun” lives inside our Gajumaru. If you did wrong to anyone, Kenmun would hurt you in return. "
