In the world of "The Collector", there are spiritual creatures, benevolent spirits who form connections with children and help guide them into adulthood. Collectively, people refer to these creatures as "Yokai".

As civilization moved into the modern industrial era, the activities between Yokai and their children were monetized under the label of "Yoka-Go!". Some children used their yokai in competitions, while others chose to nurture and care for their guardian spirits.

And of all the Yokai, the most immediately recognizeable... the brand mascot, became the Onibi. The flame sprite.

Flame sprites are loyal and friendly little spirits who will always be there for you when you need them most. They emerge during the cremation of a loved one, and people believe that they embody the spirit of the person passed.

The little flame sprites will seek out the grieving children, and comfort and guide them through their loss.

What about you?
Would you have wanted an Onibi friend?
And if so, what color would they be?
