* A legendary [[Wikipedia:Culture_Hero|culture hero]] in [[Wikipedia:Ainu_mythology|Ainu mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Ae-oyna-kamuy|Aynurakkur]] (meaning "Father of the Ainu") is attributed to teaching the [[Wikipedia:Ainu_people|Ainu people]] how to hunt, fish, gather, and many more domestic skills. Described as a man wreathed in smoke and covered in flames, the hero was a virtuous character that would fight for the sake of humanity. He would eventually leave the people after being disappointed in the decline of the Ainu.

** He was also attributed as a [[Wikipedia:Kamuy|Kamuy]] (spirit or god) named ''Oyna-Kamui'' meaning God of Oina (Oina meaning "ancient" in Ainu language).

** Another name the hero had was ''Okikurumi'' which was likely the Ainu name of the Japanese hero [[Wikipedia:Minamoto_no_Yoshitsune|Minamoto no Yoshitsune]] who fled from Japan to [[Wikipedia:Hokkaido|Hokkaido]] to avoid his brother's sword. There, along with his retainer Benkei, would teach the Ainu people how to hunt, fish, and other useful skills. Yoshitsune would then be called Okikurumi.

* Being bestowed a sacred sword on him from the god of parenting, Aynurakkur would call upon his father's thunder through the sword, annihilating the evil deities in the realm of darkness. However, getting disappointed with the corruption among the people of Kamui Kotan, aged Aynurakkur eventually disappears from there, leaving the people in regret.

* There are number of stories that speak about the origin of Aynurakkur. He is said to be the son of, variously, the elm tree, thunder, the sun, or Pakor-kamuy, the god of plague.

** [[Korpokkur]] calls the [[Protagonist]] as a child of the dragon, to which he explains that those were attributed to thunder in his world of Kamuy Kotan. A thunder god in Ainu mythology, Kanna Kamui was also depicted as a dragon and together with the spirit of an elm tree, bore Oyna-kamui.

* [[Horkeu Kamiu]], a trainer for heroes in his world, was adamant about the Protagonist being the one that would wield a sacred sword that would cut Kamuy Kotan's stagnation held only by the heroes of his world.
