Koyama’s History

Forty-one years ago, Koyama was kidnapped by three men who planned to claim a bounty in the Flower Capital. Along the way, they stopped at a teahouse where a waitress named Tsuru overheard their conversation.

Kin'emon, a thug at the time, ambushed the men and stole Koyama from them. In the Flower Capital, Kin'emon encountered Denjiro and showed him the piglet. Denjiro warned Kin'emon about the Mountain God, the parent of Koyama, known for its ruthlessness in pursuing its kidnapped child.

As the Mountain God approached, Koyama's kidnapper warned Kin'emon about the creature eating his friends and Tsuru. In the chaos, Kin'emon dropped Koyama and fled to confront the Mountain God.

However, Kozuki Oden appeared and defeated the creature by slicing it. After this incident, Koyama and its parent became friends with Oden and his retainers, receiving names from them.

Thirty years ago, during a procession in the Flower Capital, Oden used a palanquin strapped to Koyama's back to carry him through the city. The current status of Koyama and its parent is unknown.
