Motoharu was the former Miko Guardian and Jinta's adoptive father.
Motoharu's Kind Heart
He took in Jinta and Suzune after they ran away from Jinta's real father, who abused them.
Motoharu raised them as his own children, together with his real daughter Shirayuki.
Motoharu as a Teacher
Motoharu also trained Jinta, who was learning to become a Miko Guardian to protect Shirayuki, who would become the new Itsukihime in the future.
The Tragedy of the Past
Motoharu's wife, who was the former Itsukihime, was named Yoru Kaze.
Yoru Kaze fell into darkness and turned into an oni (demon) because of her disappointment and hatred toward a place called Kazuno, which she had loved.
The Final Battle
Motoharu tried to stop Yoru Kaze, and they fought each other, but both died in the battle.
Yoru Kaze's Fate
Yoru Kaze was sealed away by the Oni Crying Sword, a weapon that belonged to the Demon Hunter, Kanetomi.
During the confusion in the Taisho era, Yoshikakure took the sword.
He then gained the power of Orihime by eating Yoru Kaze, who was sealed inside.
