Ichinomiya Kantarou grew up with the ability to see demons, but was isolated and bullied by others who did not share the same gift. Instead, he became being friends with the demons, gaining a great attachment to their existence. One day, Kantarou was told about the strongest demon, the one known as the ogre-eating Tengu. Amazed by the news of his strength, Kantarou vowed to find this demon who was far stronger then any other, deciding to call him Haruka when he did so. Since this time, Kantarou searched far and wide for the ogre-eating Tengu with no luck, making his living by becoming a folklore writer and demon-buster. On a particularly job, Kantarou had finally found news of a nearby shrine supposedly the place where the ogre-eating Tengu was sealed.

Where it came from
Tactics was produced by Studio DEEN and aired in 2004, drawing its narrative source from the manga series created by the duo Sakura Kinoshita and Kazuko Higashiyama. The series emerged during a period of significant popularity for supernatural and folklore-inspired anime, centered on Kantaro Ichinomiya, a folklorist who possesses the unique ability to see demons, known as yokai. The production aimed to blend comedic elements with episodic monster-of-the-week storytelling, grounded in the rich tapestry of Japanese mythology.
The character design and visual direction sought to capture the aesthetic of traditional Edo-period Japan while integrating contemporary shonen-style sensibilities. Studio DEEN utilized a vibrant color palette to distinguish the supernatural entities from the human characters, reflecting the lighthearted yet adventurous tone intended by the creators. Upon its release, the series was received as a charming addition to the supernatural genre, noted primarily for its distinct character dynamics rather than high-stakes narrative complexity.
