The Great Yadama

The Great Yadama is a spirit that is praised in Yamatoko.

The people of Yamatoko believe The Great Yadama to be a guardian angel that blesses those who please him and punishes those who anger him.

People who anger him will be punished by Yadama, thus they call it "Yadamas Punishment".

Yadamas Punishment makes a punished person go through severe stress and aggression, which in some cases leads to suicide.

This also goes to those who try to leave the island, which is why no resident leaves Yamatoko.

In reality the effects of Yadamas Punishment are from a local parasite residing in Yamatoko.

The Parasite attaches itself to the brains of the hosts and manipulates their stress and agression when the Host is under heavy stress or is leaving the climate of Yamatoko.

But to please The Great Yadama, they hold an annual festival to thank him for keeping out those who anger Yadama and blessing those who support him.

The Kozo Clan represents themselves as the Holy Ambassadors of Yadama.
