When Bishamon is looking around in an old antique shop, as if drawn by fate, he finds a piece of armor and a katana sword. At that moment he loses his power of thought. When he regains his senses he is at his house, the armor and sword sitting beside him. When he goes to the store to ask what happened, he finds out that he had aggressively forced the owner of the shop to give the armor and sword to him. Bishamon himself had no memory of this. It made no sense to him but, as he stares at the armor, it feels meaningless to him. At that time his wife, Orin, worries about Bishamon as he sits in front of the armor for days. She asks him to let go of the armor and sword, but Bishamon heard nothing of it. Two weeks later, he decides to ignore his wife and wear the armor. The moment he puts it on he realises his mistake and, with the last of his strength, shouts "Run ... Run, Orin!!". Bishamon's mind is full of hate and cursed power. He had donned Hannya, the armor of hate, and Kien, the blood-sucking sword. He then goes on countless days of killing, as Hannya demands more sacrifices. When Bishamon had fought against Pyron, his energies caused Bishamon to be separated from Hannya's curse. To make up for his sins, he and his wife became priests (or monks). The practice he had started was called "Roppoudou". This practice gave its followers a strong mind, cleansing it and the spirit of its followers. Traveling throughout Japan brings peace to his heart again. Several years later he had stops by an old temple. He finds documents about a separate dimension called "Makai", which contain drawings. These drawings depict the armor, "Hannya", and the sword, "Kien" and other creatures similar to them in what seems like hell. Bishamon thinks that a careless person like himself may appear again, and that he may not be able to make up for his sins, but he may be able to prevent a similar tragedy. As he has already walked the path of darkness; he has nothing to fear. To make contact with this "Makai", he secludes himself within a deep snowy mountain. He sits down and holds the Shakujou, starting to meditate. hen his spiritual strength has reached its peak, he can see a different world and is determined to seal Hannya away at any cost. At the same time Hannya has started to thirst for blood once again. Even without having a master this time, the armor and sword start to move again. They gather all the spirits around them to create a body and move out to hunt Darkstalkers and their blood. When Hannya and Kien move out, they are sucked into the Majigen. Before Hannya can kill, Bishamon catches up to him and seals him away. Bishamon disappears and is thought to have led a peaceful life.

Bishamon made a cameo appearance in Capcom VS SNK 2 as one of the floats in the Nebuta stage.
