History
Shiren 6
Kokatsu noticed that his sister Tatsumi was making people sad by causing too much rain, so he decided to trap her in the sea. After that, he made the same mistake, by causing a drought for many years. The drought became a controversial topic on Serpentcoil Island and surrounding areas, and cults formed to worship Kokatsu and make offerings to him in the hope of convincing him to end the drought. One monk in particular, Kantenbo, leader of a controversial Kokatsu-worshiping cult, thinks that Serpentcoil Island would be destroyed if explored by foreign visitors in search of treasure, or in the event that Jakaku, a monster made by Kokatsu to keep Tatsumi's spirit trapped, were to be defeated. Shiren and Koppa defeat Jakaku and free Tatsumi, who asks them to "teach Kokatsu a lesson". However upon reaching him Koppa feels like there is more to the situation and tries asking for more information, to which Kokatsu responds negatively at first, leading Shiren to fight against the Embodiment of Batsu, Kokatsu's battle form. Upon hearing the full story, and learning that the two are siblings, they notice Tatsumi is making it rain heavily again. Kokatsu wants to tell her to stop, but doesn't feel confident enough, so he asks Shiren for help. The two fuse together, becoming Kokatsu Shiren, and fight the Embodiment of Suiryu, Tatsumi's battle form, together. Eventually the two siblings understand that if they want to bring happiness to people they must use their rain and sunlight powers together.
Family
Kokatsu is the younger brother of Tatsumi.
