This Unnamed taxi driver was turned into a Hitotsuki called Benitsuki (ベニツ鬼 Benitsuki), the first Hitotsuki to emerge.
History[]
Imprisonment[]
Benitsuki was originally a taxi driver although what strong emotions prompted his transformation into a Hitotsuki is unknown. After having her manga press conference, Haruka Kitou decides to take a taxi home after a series of "dull" job interviews but the driver doesn't want to drive even when there's a red light. When she confronts the taxi driver, he transforms into Benitsuki and overwhelms her in a feral rage with even a speeding car not hurting him until a strange poem speaking man arrives and morphs into a Sentai Ranger-like form. Benitsuki attempts to fight Sonoi but is very easily overwhelmed; being kicked into a car and then obliterated by an energy slash from the Baron Sword. Due to being destroyed by a Noto general, Benitsuki is unable to assume a Hitotsuking form and grow giant and the taxi driver is imprisoned.
Legacy[]
Despite his imprisonment, Haruka's encounter with Benitsuki and Sonoi led to her meeting the Donbrothers and becoming Oni Sister.
Freedom[]
