History
As the Goddess of Poverty, Kofuku has always been hated and scorned, so she wasn't given a name. She was never allowed to own her own Shinki, possibly since it would augment her powers of disaster and create further destruction and chaos. However, one day while seeing Daikoku standing in a corner, Kofuku claimed it to be love at first sight and immediately claimed him as her own. At this point, he believed she should be given a proper name and named her Kofuku. Because Daikoku wanted a child of his own but couldn't have any, Kofuku adopted a shinki child named Daigo. However, they had to let Daigo go because he got hurt whenever he noticed he never aged compared to the other children and Daikoku was unable to answer, causing him to blight Kofuku. Eventually, Daikoku asked Yato to sever the ties between him and Daigo so he would stop blighting Kofuku. But it is later revealed that Yato used a regular knife, so his ties were not actually cut and the couple learned to move on together. Daigo is currently being cared for by the heavens under a different name.
