Many years ago in the small village of Nagakushi, an old couple found two children and named them Hikari and Donbe. When the kids turned 8 years old, a demon dragon appeared near their village and turned some humans into Oni, devils with the ability to suck other human souls. When the devils came to Nagakushi, Donbe and Hikari were left as the attack's only survivors. They proceeded to travel along with many animal friends towards the island of demons. Once there, they must battle the king of demons for the souls of their village.
