Klíčové slovo Japanese Economic Miracle

Píše se rok 1963, Japonsko se chystá na pořádání olympijských her a konečně se místo k pohnuté minulosti obrací vstříc naději a změnám budoucnosti. Na střední škole v přístavním městě Jokohama ale skupina studentů usiluje o záchranu jednoho konkrétního kusu minulosti. Snaha zachovat starou budovu, kde našly útočiště studentské kluby, svede dohromady také dívku Umi a jejího spolužáka Šuna. Jejich vlastní minulost ale skrývá tajemství, které zásadně ovlivní jejich rozvíjející se vztah.

Kitarō is a yōkai boy born in a cemetery, and aside from his mostly-decayed father, the last living member of the Ghost tribe. He is missing his left eye, but his hair usually covers the empty socket. He fights for peace between humans and yōkai, which generally involves protecting the former from the wiles of the latter.

In the midst of Shouwa era Japan, greed runs rampant through the bustling cities and communities of the nation. King of Hell Enma Daiou summons an envoy into his office in the form of a small boy named Kurayami Santa. Through Enma's debriefing, Santa learns that the amount of greed and selfish behavior produced by humans will soon create an enormous wave of souls entering into Hell simultaneously, which would be catastrophic for Hell itself. Santa is given one mission: do something about it. With neither guidelines nor rules, Santa is tasked to handle the situation as he sees fit. In the human world, a rampaging thunderstorm strikes a nearby cemetery with a bolt of lightning, and the envoy of Hell appears. Teleported into the human world, Santa quickly realizes that humans are just as wicked as Enma had described. Without upsetting the balance between light and dark, Santa begins his quest to complete the mission from Hell and restore order to the human world.
