About Daikoku

Daikoku is Kofuku's shinki and partner, a stern, chain-smoking man who transforms into a fan that can tear open the vents between worlds. He cooks, cleans, manages the shop and tries, usually in vain, to keep his goddess's disasters and spending under control. Beneath the grumbling, Daikoku is the warm, fatherly centre of Kofuku's little household and Yato's oldest support.
