Gyomei is very religious, often seen offering prayers to people and situations which sadden him. Kagaya Ubuyashiki saved him from being executed and ever since then Gyomei has come to be deeply suspicious of people no matter how virtuous a person seemed. The child who was saved, instead of thanking Gyomei, accused him of killing everyone sentencing him to prison. Only one child listened to him and hid behind Gyomei while he continued to punch the Demon until the sun came up.

Gyomei tried to protect the children but they didn't listen to his words and ended up dying. In exchange for his own life he told the Demon to eat Gyomei and the other orphans inside the temple. The orphan had disobeyed the temple rules and stayed out after sunset and ran into the Demon. In the area where he lived, the threat of demons was very well known so he always burned wisteria incense at night but one night one of the orphans put out all the wisteria incense and invited a Demon into the temple. Gyomei lived with nine children who were orphans and raised them like his family in a temple.
