Character HistoryEdit

Godzilla Sister ArcEdit

Keima and Elsie first met Hinoki, who had just returned to Japan from the US after five years to meet her younger sister, Kusunoki. Keima joins the Kasuga dojo and becomes Hinoki's accomplice in her zany schemes to learn what caused the gap in her heart.

At first, Keima is unable to find anything negative about her as he only learns that Hinoki is better than Kusunoki in everything and left the family dojo five years ago as she refused to follow in her family's footsteps as she had bigger dreams than being the master of the dojo.

However, when he sees Hinoki turning into a giant several times, where only he, Elsie, the other Spirit Hunters and their human partners can see, Keima soon realizes what is the cause of the gap in her heart.

It is revealed that due to her ambitious desires, the spirit inside of her is feeding on those desires to make her bigger as her desires are her negative emotions as despite what she claims. Hinoki's current image is a lie as her desire to be successful in everything was to please Kusunoki who had high expectations for her, which causes a considerable amount of stress and pressure to Hinoki.

Realizing he cannot solve Hinoki's problems by making her fall in love with him, Keima gets the only person who can solve it; Kusunoki.

However, Fiore of Vintage disguises herself as Kusunoki and verbally insults Hinoki that she is ashamed Hinoki is a failure of a sister and wishes she would die which shocks her and causes the Weiss to be powerful, take over her giant body and be visible by everyone in the city. With no other choice, Keima and Kusunoki get inside Hinoki's heart to faced the possessed Hinoki.

As the sisters battle, the possessed Hinoki reveals her hatred for Kusunoki for forcing her to maintain the image of the perfect older sister and denying her right to be who she really wanted to be.

Kusunoki, at first, is reluctant to hurt Hinoki but after some encouragement from Keima, Kusunoki was able to defeat the spirit possessing her sister and apologizes to Hinoki for what she had to go through as she never wanted a perfect sister, she just wanted the older sister she loved and she would still admire Hinoki no matter what path she chose, which finally calms Hinoki's heart and forces the Weiss out.

After Hinoki's runaway spirit was captured, thanks to the Spirit hunters and help from a certain teacher and her relationship with Kusunoki amended, Hinoki decides to return to the US to continue her job and find her own path in the world but not before giving a French kiss to Keima much to Kusunoki's anger and embarrassment.
