A patient at a hospital has become a ghost. Mizuki, a company employee, is entrusted with the task of investigating the cause. His investigation leads him to a couple who claim to be the "last survivors of the Ghost tribe".
Kitarō is a yōkai boy born in a cemetery, and aside from his mostly-decayed father, the last living member of the Ghost tribe. He is missing his left eye, but his hair usually covers the empty socket. He fights for peace between humans and yōkai, which generally involves protecting the former from the wiles of the latter.
