He must be paid the game's form of money to use attacks varying in strength and weapon. With his design resembling that of Ancient Japanese designs, his worker-employer relationship with Yuna, the aesthetic with his weaponry and mannerisms, and the name of his dog, many elements from Ittō were used to design this summon. In 2012, a [[pachinko]] game adaptation called ''Kozure Ōkami'' was released in Japan.<ref name="animenation"/>
