Summary
As Kagome's grandfather, he frequently covers for her school absences with imaginative excuses that cause her friends significant concern. Dressed in the traditional attire of a Shinto Priest, he serves as the current custodian of the Higurashi Shrine, an establishment that has remained in the family for generations. He persistently attempts to weave the shrine's history into daily conversations, even going so far as to discuss the origins of their pickles, much to Kagome's annoyance.
