The story revolves around Kitarou, the last surviving member of the Ghost Tribe. Kitarou is a yōkai (a term for supernatural beings in Japanese folklore) who has a strong sense of justice. He lives in the Gegege Forest with his friends and father, Medama-Oyaji (a reincarnated form of his father as a walking, talking eyeball). Kitarou and his companions work to maintain peace and harmony between the human world and the yōkai world.
