Characters Protagonists Kanai / Ryujin Mabuyer is a young man who apprentices for a master clay-sculptor. In the beginning of the series, he is somewhat careless and lazy. Like most young Okinawan's he doesn't know about the soul of the islands and why they have certain traditions. One day he feels very weak and consults his 'Auntie" who tells him that he needs to recharge his soul, and helps him by chanting an incantation. This summons the spirit of Ryujin Mabuyer into Kanai's body, and allows him to transform and fight as the hero. Luckily this occurred just in time, because the Evilcorps (Majimun) had just arrived on Okinawa to steal all of the Mabui stones (soul of Okinawa stones) and cause bad things to happen. Ryujin Mabuyer's armor is based on the look of a Shisa. Mabuyer's energy attack is summoned by whistling with his fingers. Nirai / Ryujin Ganasea is Kanai's older brother and formerly one with an Onihito-Devil: General of the Evilcorp (Majimun). Nirai was trapped within the body of Onihito-Devil for a long time. Eventually Kanai rescued him and Kanamie nursed him back to health. He rediscovered his brotherly bond, and found the power within himself to become Ryujin Ganasea. Ryujin Ganasea's armor is based on the look of a dragon. Ganasea's energy attack is summoned by charging his arms with lightning first. Kanamie / Ohjin Kanamie is a female god-being sent to help Kanai and later Nirai in their fight against evil. In human form she has supernatural abilities, such as energy healing, telepathy, and the ability to enchant san (a long narrow leaf with a knot, used for protection against evil). In her hero form she is better at physical combat. Ohjin Kanamie's armor is based on a phoenix, and she is the only hero to use a tool to attack. Her Kanzashi turns into a wand with a san attached
