The Eccentric Family

In the ancient city of Kyoto, tanuki and tengu have lived hidden among humans for generations, their magical existence unnoticed by the bustling world around them. Yasaburou Shimogamo, the free-spirited third son of a prominent tanuki family, spends his days exploring the city in various forms, caring for an eccentric old tengu, and navigating his complicated relationship with the enigmatic human woman known as Benten. As Yasaburou and his brothers go about their lives—transforming, causing mischief, and maintaining the delicate balance between the human and supernatural worlds—they carry the weight of their family's past. The Shimogamo brothers must navigate the challenges of tanuki society while forging their own paths in a world where the line between human and yokai is both blurred and dangerous. Uchouten Kazoku weaves a whimsical yet poignant tale of family, identity, and the bonds that connect us across the boundaries of species and society, set against the magical backdrop of a Kyoto that exists just beyond human perception.
