Kinchō Daimyōjin VI

Kinchō Daimyōjin VI. (六代目金長, Rokudaime Kinchō) is a sage of Shikoku in Pom Poko. He is the father to Koharu. He later trained Tamasaburo to become his successor.
For him all Racoon Dogs are important. So he would never leave a racoon dog behind, even he could save more life by doing it. He wants to save everybody.
However, he is convinced by a fox named Ryutaro to tell the tanuki who can transform to live among the humans. This inadvertently causes the tanuki to disband; some are killed while blocking traffic going into New Tama, others join a suicide cult, and the remaining tanuki, for a while, are at a complete loss.
