History: Sealed away and buried in five boxes by a powerful psychic named Mikado Hizaki during the Meiji Era, the Gamin were accidentally released by a group of construction workers, all of whom were promptly devoured within seconds of releasing the demons.
When Ushio heard the news the next morning, he immediately assumed Tora was to blame for the massacre. Of course this wasn’t the case, and Tora decided to go into the city and eat some people just to spite him. The Gamin, meanwhile, searched for the woman that had sealed them away so many years ago, eating anyone that bore even the slightest resemblance to her. Eventually they came across Ushio’s friend Mayuko, who also happened to be a descendent of Mikado Hizaki and looked just like her. Coincidentally, just at that time Tora was getting ready to eat her as well.
Fortunately for the girl, Ushio learned about the Gamin from an old man and figured out they’d be looking for Mayuko. He arrived just in time to save her, distracting them long enough for her to run away. The five demons proved too much though, and overwhelmed Ushio, knocking him out before renewing their search for Mayuko.
They chased Mayuko into a nearby department store, wrecking havoc inside. They eventually cornered her inside a walkway between the upper floors of two buildings, leaving her dangling helplessly from a piece of metal as they tore the structure apart. Again Ushio managed to intervene just in time to save her from their jaws, but even as he did so she slipped and plummeted toward the ground below. Luckily, Tora wasn’t one to sit by and watch his meal be taken by someone else. He caught her and carried her up to the roof of the building. The Gamin attacked Tora, but the orange demon effortlessly killed one of them. The eldest Gamin then stayed back to fight Tora, leaving the remaining three to chase Mayuko once again.
Just as the trio were about to finish Mayuko off, Tora appeared once again, this time holding the half-eaten head of the elder Gamin. The remaining three attacked Tora in a rage, only for two of them to be quickly vaporized by his lightning. Realizing he couldn’t defeat Tora, the final Gamin tried to kill Mayuko one final time, only to run into Ushio and the Beast Spear. With all five of the vicious demons vanquished, the city was safe once again.
