## History

### Background

A powerful Rakshasa, an Oni, which in the past had caused damage in the Human World.

Able to travel between worlds, and eats souls to create a near immortal body.

Taimanin were sent after him, and it is stated that Doumeki had eaten at least 100 of them, before he was defeated by Inage Natsu, around 30 years ago, approximately **2052**. He had killed many of Natsu's allies and friends, and was considered a dangerous foe, even back then. Suffering from a grave wound, he escaped, with people assuming he would have died, but this was not the case. Driven by revenge, he obtained the magical "Lost Drum" (**迷い太鼓**), and trained 10 years just to be able to play it.

### Timeline RPGX

In the year, **2087** in August, around the time of the Obon Festival in Maesaki City. He made, Shimizu Kanna, which worked part-time as a festival planner for the Obon. Doumeki, also was able to blackmail the other office worker, to act as a distraction by kidnapping his daughter. As he repeated the pattern, and used the name "Festival Demon", he knew that the Taimanin would ask Natsu for help, which was his real target. As the groups were separated, he started to play his drum and covered the place in a fog of illusions. A number of minor demons caused a distraction, as he fought Inage Natsu and Izumo Tsuru himself, regardless of his drum, some of the attacks of Natsu still hit him but, he was able to give her a wound after continued use of the drum. Thinking he would win for sure, he underestimated the Taimanin still outside, with Homare Nao, piercing his drum from outside the fog. While, his eyes still gave him some protection, the next light attack of Nao blinded him. Doumeki was slashed to pieces with blood and the collected life source leaving his body, with Tsuru's continues attacks.

## Trivia

* The "Doumeki" (百目鬼) is a Japanese Yokai/demon, which appears in one of the Hidesato's legends. Since Hidesato settled the big rebellion in Japan, the story was recreated as a legend, and it has been carried on to the next generations. One of his legend is known as "Doumeki story". This story was made in Utsunomiya, Tochigi. The story is about Hidesato defeats the large ogre demon called "Doumeki" which has a hundred eyes on its body. It is implied that the demon was the foundation for the Dodomeki ( 百々目鬼), another female Yokai, with bird eyes on its arms, which stole money with its magic.
