Synopsis
Long ago, in the village of Shiiba in Hyuuga, there lived a young man named Yosuke. He yearned for enough wealth and belongings to enjoy a life of leisure without ever having to work. In his impoverished village, where only barnyard millet, oxtail millet, and beans could be grown, Yohei abandoned his labor and fled into the mountains. There, one night, he witnessed an eerie event: a blue ogre clinging to a huge cedar tree split open its back, shed its skin, and quickly transformed into a red ogre. Yosuke stole the discarded skin, put it on, and began committing crimes in the village. But when he later tried to remove the skin, no matter what he did, he could not get it off.
