A makaryuudo is a member of a ''makari-dan'' (魔狩団), literally a "demon hunting group," but more commonly translated to '''mamono hunting group'''. These groups are comprised exclusively of civilian [[youkai]], typically with a background in hunting, farming, courier work, or general adventuring. There exists at least 20 makari-dan across the Mazes; at least one can be found in every [[Youkai Nation]] town, plus a smattering in the rest of the world.
Makaryuudo are trained in the use of swords, bolt-action rifles, and select-fire combat rifles, but above all else, sword combat. Each makaryuudo receives the traditional pair of [[katana]] and [[wakizashi]], and are extensively trained in their use. One of the final skill tests is the learning and use of the special [[Abilities|technique]], [[Two Become One]], a signature form of dual-wielding where one learns to use a long sword and a short sword simultaneously against a target.  New recruits receive almost militaristic training and discipline before they can be minted as full members. Although there are simple hierarchies, makari-dan leaders are no different from regular members in terms of equipment; they are simply in charge of recruitment and deciding what missions to undertake next. A makari-dan leader is officially known as the "boss of the hunt" (狩のボス, ''kari no bosu''), but is more frequently referred to as simply "the boss" or "Boss-san" (ボスさん, ''bosu-san'').
The self-proclaimed mission of all makaryuudo is to "advance the cause of youkai rights through the extermination of their feral cousins," the mamono. They believe that the existence of mamono is a liability for all youkai, not only because they are dangerous creatures in their own right, but also because they are often conflated with youkai. Makari-dan are not open to all and only accept youkai into their ranks.
