Ginji is one of the main characters of Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi series and is the young master of Tenjin-ya. He is a nine-tailed fox ayakashi who was the first ayakashi in the Hidden Realm to show Aoi real kindness. He doesn't have much age different with Oodanna and can transform himself into different looking beings. He runs a small restaurant in the garden of Tenjin-ya but does not receive many customers. He asks Aoi to work with him after tasting her human style of food.

Ginji is a kind-hearted individual who seems to care deeply about Aoi, to the point where he even brings her food without Ōdanna knowing. He seems cheerful and friendly. He respects Ōdanna, calling him a "wonderful ogre." However, several people refer to him as manipulative, clever, sneaky, and even treacherous, though it is unclear how much any of these appellations is earned.
