Nisshoku prospered during many years until Kaiho, an army formed by those who suffered the yoke of Nisshoku, attacked Kyuryu (host city of Nisshoku) and won the battle. Thanks to the powerful Yamiko and the tactical knowledge of Hyo, her mentor and counselor, Nisshoku took over the Valley of Rashomon – the land where Aragami (2016) is set – and defended it relentlessly, getting rid of any potential menace. Yamiko was the empress of Nisshoku, a small sectarian empire whose integrants – the Shadow adepts – venerate her as a goddess.
