Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon[]
"A cursed god that brings poverty. It prefers to haunt the homes of lazy people. Legend says that it can be driven away or converted to a god of good fortune through hard work."
—Gouma-Den Devil Chart
Binbou-gami is the first Fiend to appear in the game. Shortly after Raidou has his luck drained in an encounter with the Fukoshi, Binbou senses him and attacks. Due to Binbou's abilities, all of Raidou's attacks miss, and he is forced to flee. Binbou once again appears before Raidou while pursuing his main suspect in the Dark Realm of Mannen-Cho, although he is weakened after attempting to possess the man, the man's high amount of luck not allowing the possession to take place. Raidou then takes advantage of Binbou-gami's weakened state to drive him off; unfortunately, the Fiend leaves under the impression that there's a certain something between himself and Raidou, hoping to receive more of his "love-punishment" again.
