Inaba
is a boy who wears a rabbit costume and appears near the end of the series.
He works for the Destiny Production Bureau, A subspace organization made
up of sentient rabbit creatures who control the fates of every living
thing in the universe. It mainly consists of an endless room with a nearly
infinite number of doors floating everywhere. These doors lead to many
possible destines which may or may not come true. Inaba who has the position
of apprentice had always been an unreliable screw-up but the rabbits took
it in good humor.
One day
while lost on Earth, Inaba met Shinobu and was smitten yet Shinobu who
was a little more apprehensive first thought that he was just another
jerk. Inaba, saw that Shinobu seemed depressed with her life, so he tried
to show her a better future. Soon Shinobu began to fall for Inaba. She
could see that he was a bumbling fool but was genuinely earnest and kind-hearted.
It seems that after all of her bad experiences with men, that Shinobu
had finally found what she'd been looking for.
Trying
to alter destiny and letting mortals into the room was strictly forbidden
so the rabbits had to stop him, and a long and aggressive chase ensued
which caused much damage to the Bureau. After it was over, the rabbits
decided that severe punishment was needed. At first they were going to
boil him alive, but after they had a chance to calm down they just put
him to work putting doorknobs on those seemingly infinite number of doors.
Eventually
he's let out and begins to court Shinobu. They have their initial misunderstandings,
but it's smooth sailing from then on. Although Shinobu wishes he didn't
have to wear that dumb costume all the time. Kind of makes it hard to
show him off to her friends.
