Synopsis

The story's main focus is the teacher and apprentice-like relationship between Adachi Asumu and the Oni called Hibiki. Asumu is a young boy unsure of himself and is at a crossroads in his life as he transitions to high school. As the series progresses, he learns to be an adult through watching Hibiki and the other Oni. The secondary focus of the series is the ancient battle of the Kamen Riders (referred to as Oni in this program) and the Makamou, demons that can only be defeated using "pure sound". The series follows the life and training of the four main Oni: Hibiki, Ibuki, Todoroki and Zanki.
