Houkai Tenma possesses the ability to communicate with ancestors and ghosts. He runs Obake Security Company by succession. Ironically, it is a company which undertakes ghost busting. Once a ghost busting request is received, Tenma would head to the scene, listen to what the ghost has to say, dispel the regrets it has left in this world, gently remonstrate and settle the matter through persuasion instead of extermination. One day, a newly-hired employee Okazaki Akira comes to Obake. She had joined the company believing that it was a game company and is taken aback when she is told about its line of business by the clerk, Daikaku Keizo. However, Tenma pays no heed and takes the two of them to a junior high school. Their client is a school teacher called Komiya Kaori. According to her, the school’s janitor was slashed by the ghost of a fallen warrior. Tenma, Akira and Daikaku immediately start the search for this warrior. Akira cannot help feeling scared but she follows Tenma who is moving ahead with confidence. However, the moment they encounter an eerie woman, he faints on the spot! In fact, Tenma is the greatest coward. He also has the ability to see his late father Tendo who is in heaven when he loses consciousness. Having listened to the ghost busting hints from Tendo, Tenma finally confronts the ghost of the fallen warrior after he comes to, but … …

Sato Jiro as Houkai Tendon
