In Kyoto, there are three kinds of residents: humans, raccoon dogs, and tengu. Shimogamo Yasaburou is the third son of the Shimogamo raccoon dog family. His father, Souichirou, had been the head of Kyoto raccoon dog community until he was eaten by the human members of "Friday Club". While taking care of old tengu, fighting with other raccoon dogs, and playing with a psychic human girl, Yasaburou approaches the truth of his father's death.

Where it came from
The Eccentric Family, or Uchōten Kazoku, was produced by P.A. Works and released in 2013 as an adaptation of the novel by Tomihiko Morimi. Set in a contemporary Kyoto where tanuki, tengu, and humans coexist in a hidden society, the series was directed by Masayuki Yoshihara. The production aimed to capture the whimsical yet melancholic tone of Morimi’s prose, utilizing a vibrant, painterly color palette that highlights the architectural beauty and seasonal changes of the Kyoto setting.
The character designs were handled by Kousuke Kawazura, based on the original concepts by Kōji Kumeta. The series received significant critical acclaim for its intricate world-building and its unique exploration of familial grief and reconciliation, moving beyond standard folklore tropes. It was noted for its nuanced character development and became a landmark title for P.A. Works, eventually securing a second season that continued the narrative exploration of the Shimogamo family’s complicated legacy.
