Characters
Norinaga Motoori
A Caster-class Servant.
He refers to himself as "ore."
A scholar of Kokugaku from the Edo period. He devoted his life to the study of Kokugaku and wrote the "Kojikiden," a commentary on the Kojiki. He is also known for his fierce debates with intellectuals of his time.
A young man with black hair dressed in simple yet refined Japanese clothing. His manner of speaking is like that of a stubborn, eccentric literary master.
His conviction that Japan is the most beautiful and wonderful country in the world never wavers; while he shows understanding of other cultures, his value that Japan is the most wonderful remains unshaken.
When he meets literary figures who laid the foundation of Japanese culture, such as Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon, or heroes of Japanese mythology like Yamato Takeru, his eyes sparkle like a child's and his excitement reaches its peak.
In particular, Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji was his favorite book in his youth, and can be called his youth itself.
He loves the sound of bells and always carries one with him. He is full of curiosity and intellectual inquisitiveness. He is well-versed not only in Japanese but also in world mythology, religion, and folklore, and always carries some kind of book with him.
He possesses special eyes (different from Mystic Eyes) that can perceive the power of kotodama.
Since he was also a physician in life, he can also compound traditional herbal medicines.
He understands that Japan is a small island nation, yet he appreciates its beauty. For him, the Yamato spirit refers to the beauty of Japan's nature itself, not something to be shown off by brandishing a sword. He deeply loves Japan's seasonal nature, especially spring cherry blossoms and autumn rice ears.
He dislikes needless conflict, so he does not loudly proclaim Japan's superiority and always strives for harmony.
He is not accustomed to using foreign loanwords written in katakana, so he is not good at them and tries to rephrase them in Japanese as much as possible (proper nouns are an exception).
His favorite food is yudofu. He praised tofu as inexpensive yet refined and elegant in taste.
His favorite sweet is konpeito. At the time, konpeito was a rare treat of Nanban origin, and it caught the eye of the curious Norinaga. Even now in Chaldea, he is fascinated by rare sweets such as macarons and canelés.
In battle, he uses magecraft with his bell as a catalyst to summon storms and thunderstorms reminiscent of the gods' wrath to attack, or deploys barriers to protect his allies. Also, perhaps because he once said to an opponent in debate, "Bind the fools with chains," he can also manipulate chains to restrain enemies.
His skills are "The Way of the Kami," "One Night in Matsuzaka," and "Eyes of Kotodama."
"The Way of the Kami" is a skill that reflects his faith respecting the myriad gods.
"One Night in Matsuzaka" is a skill symbolizing the fateful night he met his master Kamo no Mabuchi, a turning point in his life.
His Noble Phantasm is "Kojikiden."
An Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. Using the original manuscript of the Kojikiden as a catalyst, it summons the authorities of the myriad gods to the earth. A solar disc symbolizing the radiance of Amaterasu Omikami shines upon enemies to burn them to ashes while granting protection to allies.
