Taro

BIOGRAPHY: Taro, the venerable tanuki with a century’s edge over his compatriot Benjiro, is a whimsical and carefree soul with a penchant for revelry. Often misconstrued as a prankster or deemed lazy, Taro’s true essence lies in his profound love for life, a philosophy that guides his every step through the ages. While he may indulge in moments of hedonism, Taro harbors a deeper sense of responsibility, particularly towards the Yokai, a dwindling community to which he belongs. Despite his mischievous exterior, Taro takes his duty to the Yokai with utmost seriousness, recognizing the scarcity of their kind in a changing world. As a guardian of tradition and camaraderie, Taro weaves laughter and solemnity into the tapestry of his existence, embodying the spirit of the tanuki with a timeless grace.
