Plot Overview[]
Mamoru hatch from his egg
When Nanami received the egg from Otohiko, she was supposed to have hatched it in 7 days, but due to an argument between her and Tomoe, the egg was accidentally stepped on and cracked by Mizuki. Afterwards, he began to hatch and even though he was premature, Mamoru already had the form of a small monkey.
Nanami kept Mamoru with her after that so that he could continue to grow off of her chi. Three days after he hatched, Nanami was attacked in the library by a yokai and had to be rescued by Tomoe. As a result of being exposed to miasma, Mamoru became ill from Nanami's depleted chi.
Later, Otohiko scolded Nanami on her poor responsibility as a Shikigami caster, and told her to stop mass producing talisman and to think of her Shikigami as one instead. He told her to think of the power that she most desired, and Nanami chose "to protect" which became the name/ability of her Shikigami, "Mamoru".

Nanami Momozono[]
Mamoru tends to stay very close to Nanami, mostly sleeping in her bag, her clothes, or resting on her head/shoulders. He is very eager to help her, and alerts her of oncoming dangers that are nearby. He is very affectionate towards her, and is able to synchronize with her in order to purify evil spirits.
Tomoe[]

Mizuki[]
Mamoru and Mizuki seem to have a good relationship, as seen when he and Mizuki reacted in unison when they were separated from Nanami on the way to the Divine Assembly.
Otohiko[]
Mamoru and Otohiko also seem to have a good relationship as seen in the nurse's office when Otihoko was petting him and giving him a banana.
Trivia[]
