During the story
He traveled to Suikotsu's house in order for him to treat his arm. Kikyō offered to treat him instead since Suikotsu was out picking medicinal herbs. He told her how Suikotsu arrived at his village shortly after the tomb of the Shichinintai was destroyed. He was, however, convinced that the Suikotsu he knew now was different from the person who was a part of that mercenary group since they had opposite personalties. His village was soon attacked by several of the revived mercenaries in order to retrieve Suikotsu. He witnessed Suikotsu's transformation into his evil side during the attack.

When Suikotsu returned to the village, this man approached him on horseback with several others and asked Suikotsu to leave since the he was the reason that the Shichinintai previously attacked them. Suikotsu responded by instantly killing him and the others with his tiger claws.
