Spirit

 * See More: Giong

Yohkyo's Guardian Ghost is Giong, a spirit passed down in the branch Asakura Family. He also possesses a piece of YVS's power that he combines with his Over Soul to amplify its power. After his piece is reclaimed by Thorim, Yohkyo takes Luca's piece, known as YVS Meidum.

Past
Yohkyo raised his children alone in the mountains without any friends and other kinds of contact to the outside world. He rarely left the house, but amongst the few times he did, he once brought home a piece of YVS' power, given to him by Kamogawa Yohsuke.

Flowers
After his children's failed attacks on Asakura Hana, Tamamura Tamao arrived at his house in Kyoto and proceeded to crush it with Dai Tengu. After he appeared from the rubble, Tamao began to blackmail him, and even though Yohkyo attempted to retaliate with his Giong, Tamao was still able to beat and humiliate him. Tamao had Yohkyo reveal the real culprits behind the branch family's attacks on the main family, and somehow made them enter into a temporary truce until the beginning of the Flower of Maize. Sometime later, Yohkyo had his children enrolled into schools in Tokyo.

Yohkyo eventually began working as a day laborer and due to the destruction of his house, he moved from lodging to lodging. According to Thorim, he used the power given to him by YVS to cover his daily expenses. One day, Yohkyo located a rare model kit in a store, where he was also confronted by Thorim who was searching for him, to take back the power, given to him by YVS. Yohkyo tried to use Giong to fight back, but Thorim's Machete Dragon easily crushed it. Thorim then took the piece of YVS' power, and Yohkyo fled the store. However, in his panic, he held onto the model kit, so the employees held him down and called the police. Yohkyo was subsequently arrested for shoplifting.

Luca visited her father in jail, but he refused to leave since he was terrified that Team YVS would attack him again. When she confirmed that she still had her piece of YVS' power, he begged her for it out of fake concern for her safety. She acquiesced and handed it over to him; however, unbeknownst to Yohkyo, it allowed Yohsuke to continue spying on him.
