As a taika from Japan, the kirin of En (or Enki) is also known as Rokuta. He was found by his nyokai after his parents abandoned him at a young age. He originally felt that humans could not rule a kingdom properly and was reluctant to choose a new king, but he felt that Shoryu truly deserved to become king of En. He assisted Youko in her journey to Kei and played a part in helping the Saiho of Tai.
