## Locations

**Hyoudou Castle**

**Welsh Dragon Stadium**

A stadium that is primarily used for hosting Rating Games, which was built shortly after the Doom War. The entrance is adorned with the clan’s symbol and the phrase “Guts!!” in Japanese

During the second Azazel Cup, the Team Red Dragon Emperor of The Blazing Truth fought against the Team White Dragon Emperor of The Morning Star for its final match. Tickets were sold out almost immediately and was being viewed across all of the mythological realms. It was partially destroyed when Issei and Vali fought but was eventually rebuilt.

## Business Ventures

**The Hyoudou Company**

The Hyoudou company is a business conglomerate owned by the clan which operates in both the Underworld and Human World. In the hunan world, they have businesses ranging from hotels, banks, pharmaceutical companies and so forth. The current President is Issei Hyoudou, the former Clan Head, though the day to day affairs are managed by his subordinates.

As was the case with the Gremory Clan, various peerage members are given their own branch companies, along with territories and businesses of their own to manage.

## Himejima Clan

The Himejima Clan serves as a branch family to the main family, consisting of only handful of members. In addition to having their own territories and businesses, such as a high class Japanese restaurant in the human world, they also have access to the main family’s resources and contracts.

They are also affiliated with the Himejima Clan in the human world, a clan of Shinto mystics with Kurenai as the current head.

## Trivia

* The Hyoudou clan only has female servants, all of whom wear French Maid outfits and are noticeably busty
	+ They also receive heavy training from the family to also act as Pseudo-bodyguards, with their power stated to be just below that of an Ultimate Class-Devil.
* Many members of the clan have many legendary mythological creatures as familiars, indulging but limited to The Original Hydra, Midgardsomar, Cerberus and so on.
* According to Ravel, most of the wives are considered to be the **Lady of the House**, the only exception being those who are still affiliated with their original House. The same applies to many of Issei’s children in terms of their heirship.
	+ For simplicity’s sake, Akeno was chosen to act as the official **Lady of the House**, something she typically brags about.
