The main character, Kumakichi Kumada, was climbing Mt. Okuhotaka in the winter, but he accidentally slipped down and lost consciousness. It was.

Initially shocked, he fell in a place where he would have died if he had fallen in a slip accident, and when he decided to live a second life as a polar bear, a subhuman werewolf girl was attacked by a human. I witness the place.

Feeling that humans are bad from the situation, Kumayoshi joins the girl side of the werewolf and helps the girl, but the physical strength as a bear annihilate the human army.

The Werewolf girl who resumed at a later date calls herself Rurutia and worships him as "the guardian deity of the forest" because Kumayoshi's appearance was the same pure white fur as the legend. Kumayoshi will teach Rurutia and her sisters how to live, such as the hunting methods cultivated in this world and the dismantling of beasts.

Kumakichi mimics the move set of Akuma from the Streetfighters game. Being reincarnated as a bear (Polar Bear), he inherits all the traits of being a bear. As part of being a divine beast, Kumakichi has resistance to poison.

* He can still feel pain when his opponent is much stronger than him. The only lowered than him can't able to scratch him.
 ***Monstrous Strength**** Kumakichi *Strength* parameters exceed those of normal animals. It is borne from the holder's nature as a monster or Demonic Beast, it is twice as stronger as a powerful demonic beast. He can kill a human in one powerful punch.

Kumakichi animal instinct can instantly identify “*the best personal course of action or a weak spot of the opponent*” during combat, because of this he always "feels" the optimal flow for himself during battle. His honed beast sense is almost precognition. However, having good hunches is not so good... he always find an opening and not always relying to his durability and always worries or sceptical in every action he did.
