—Gennojo Hyuga, Shikigami no Shiro III

Gennojo Hyuga (日向 玄乃丈 Hyuuga Gennoujou) is a major character in the Shikigami no Shiro series, who originally appeared in Shikigami no Shiro.

Gennojo's traditional outfit consists of a black tuxedo, a pair of black pants, and a small black top hat. Underneath his tuxedo is a shirt and tie, both varying in color depending on the game.

Gennojo's standard weapon is a set of two fireballs that arc in a helical path ahead of him. His shikigami weapon, in the first game, is a set of three lightning orbs that lock onto enemies they touch and continue to damage them as long as the button is held down. His bomb is morphing into a glowing wolf and chasing after enemies, of which he immediately reverts to human form after the bomb's time limit expires.

Background

Shikigami no Shiro

A werewolf/detective, who assumes the form of an ancient wolf god when enraged. He's something of a cheapskate, investigating the murders on his free time.

Shikigami no Shiro II

A freelance detective serving the same agency as Kohtaro, Hyuga & Kuga. (Who owns the agency is anyone's guess.) He's working on the case at the request of a young client,and also has access to black market contacts. Due to having the blood of a wolf god, he becomes a werewolf when enraged. His Shikigami attack can either be used in the form of three lightning spheres with a long frontal reach, or six used forward and back, with a shorter reach.

Shikigami no Shiro III

Times have been hard for Hyuga. Not only is money tight, making him more desperate than usual, but his landlord is none other than the infamous witch, Fumiko Odette Van Stein. And when the rent is due, she expects her pay. Much to Gennojo's ongoing terror, Fumiko expects payment in currency other than money.

Quotations

Shikigami no Shiro III

• You can't talk to a person like her! In cases like this, it's best to defeat her with proper authority.
• N-No! I understand that I'm constantly dumped, but that's not enough to make me consider changing my preference to men.
