They embrace briefly, both just happy to be in each others' arms. Hotaru rushes into his arms, getting the chance to finally touch him. Knowing that he has mere minutes to live, Gin calls Hotaru to him. The magic which preserves Gin's body is obliterated due to the contact and Gin starts to disintegrate into glowing shards. Gin catches him by his arm and prevents the fall. Gin takes Hotaru to the Yokai Festival of Spirits where they are walking together when a human boy who snuck into the festival rushes by. Their bond grow stronger and they grow closer with each passing summer. Hotaru always comes back to the forest every summer to visit Gin without fail. Gin waits for summer to come as well as Hotaru, as it is the only time the two can be together. During the other seasons, Hotaru has to move back to her original home away from the forest. Hotaru can only meet Gin during the summer, when she stays at her Uncle's house. Gin helped Hotaru out of the forest to search for her Uncle's house. Alone and frightened, she cries, attracting Gin's attention. Little Hotaru is lost in the forest during the summer when visiting her Uncle's home.
After meeting Hotaru, Gin looked forward to every day in the summer as he would spend time with his new found friend. Since then, Gin lived in solitary with only his fellow spirits as his company- that is, until Hotaru came and got lost in the forest. Plot Īt the beginning, Gin was abandoned by his parents and left in the Spirit Forest, where the other spirits took him in and gave him the mask he wears to this day. The forest lord (Yamagami) gave a mask to baby Gin so he would look more like a spirit, hoping to have him feel like he belonged. However the spell comes at a cost - if Gin comes into physical contact with humans, the spell would obliterate, causing his body to disappear. The Yokai that lived there saw that Gin was a harmless soul, and the Mountain God decided to save his life by casting a spell on Gin that would maintain his body, and that he would age a quarter slower than a normal human would. Gin's parents abandoned him in the forest when he was just born.
He has a very naïve personality, mostly because he never had any kind of relationship besides with the forest spirits and Hotaru. As Hotaru grows, Gin's appearance remained almost the same because he ages a quarter slower than a normal human. However, he becomes comfortable in taking it off when Hotaru is present. Initially, he covers his face with a traditional Japanese yokai mask.
