As mentioned above, the Kito family members are not humans. They are a group of subterranean beings who come under the Unidentified Mysterious Animals (UMAs) classification. Naki Kito, the elderly, arrogant woman, acts as the head of this macabre household.

This family has been living in the Byakuja Village (Jiji’s village) and has been performing a bone-chilling ritual in the name of protection for centuries. As you may know, the Tsuchinoko, aka the Mongolian Death Worm, has made the volcano near this village its lair.

The Kito family has been revering this beast as the Great Snake and has offered human lives as a way to placate the giant earthworm. The Kito family and the locals believed that these sacrifices were necessary in order to prevent the eruption of the volcano by the Tsuchinoko and thereby save the village.
