"The story is set in legendary China. A beautiful female fox spirit named Dakki, is controlling the Emperor Chuu Ou and the ruling Yin dynasty, and is using her power over him to do evil in the nation. An immortal-in-training named Taikoubou, is chosen by the great immortal sages for the Houshin Project — to seal away or destroy the evil demons that infest the world. In the course of his adventures, Taikoubou gathers other powerful companions and sets out to seal away the demons and eventually destroy the fox-spirit Dakki."
