Canon: Shangri-la, a beautiful paradise where humans and demons can cohabitate in peace, has slowly started to fall apart thanks to a mysterious "Minus Wave" which has been causing the demons to become mad and attack humans. In order to stop this, and the resurrection of the Bull Demon King, the Three Aspects of Buddha have sent four unfortunate idiots on a seemingly neverending journey to the West. More specifically, India.
Koumyou, however, is not one of these poor souls! Acting as both a father figure, and master to Sanzo (our hero), Koumyou is the kind of person that makes people wonder if he is truly a genius or just a quirky old man on crack. Always smiling and seeing life with a positive attitude, Koumyou claims to be terrible at spiritual teachings... and yet, he rarely fails to find a life lesson in the simplest things, such as a baby's crying, or the birds migrating. In the end, Koumyou is nothing but a man with a big, BIG heart, and an incredibly open mind. There is a reason why he's often referred to as 'Hippie Dumbledore', after all!

Good day, everyone. My name is Koumyou and I have been sent to this encampment to be one of your counselors. But, before I start getting to know you all, there is a little confession I need to make. While it is believed that Sanzo priests like me are here to provide guidance, I'm really no good when it comes to giving advice or lecturing. So for example, if you were to come to me with such poignant questions as "What is the meaning of life?" or "What is love?" or "Does everybody see the anteater?" I would have no idea what to answer! For many years now, I have been pondering these things myself, hoping someone will one day enlighten me.
Ah! But I'm getting side-tracked now, aren't I? As I was saying before, I'm no good at spiritual guidance. The only thing I can really teach is how to fold a paper airplane, so this is what I will be doing during my stay here. I hope we can fold lots of planes together. It could be a fun bonding experience, don't you think?
But first, of course, we need a piece of paper. I specifically requested the paper to be orange, because the contrast it creates with the blue sky is just lovely, but... ah, seeing the color of the sky here, we may have to try something a bit more purplish, perhaps. It's nice how it matches the lake, though! Oh, but what is this? You don't have any folding paper in solid colors? That is, indeed, a shame! But this will have to do, at least for the time being.
. . . My, would you look at this? These paper sheets have cats on them! And not only that, there are also messages imprinted on them, how cute! This little kitty here seems to be eating an invisible sandwich, and this one wants to show me its "pokeymans" ... are those edible? Oh, and this one here! It's watching me... . . . ...Ha ha ha! Watching me from a hole in the ceiling, truly adorable! Now, no more getting distracted by our feline friends, let's get to the folding!
It is important that you follow each step carefully. Since this is the first time for many of you, it's natural that the folds and creases won't be very precise; but don't worry about that. Think of it as when you were learning how to walk... or crawl, in some of your cases, ha ha! At first your steps were clumsy and you probably fell down many times, but now you can run, jump, even swim. Remember that practice makes perfect, and one day your airplanes will soar across the sky like those birds up there!
Oh, but please be careful when you throw them! No matter how exact your folds are, a paper airplane will never fly if you leave your hand attached to it.
