Tanigaki’s backstory is more or less what inspired this article. It’s incredibly sad and deals with his sister going to live with his new bride. Unbeknownst to him, his sister falls ill and dies of a disease that would have alienated his whole family in their hometown of Ani. When the groom, his friend, burns their house down with her inside of it, he leaves in search of this man. After drifting, he hears rumors that a man just like the groom is in Hokkaido. Years later, in a bitter battle, he sees a man mortally wounded. Tanigaki realizes that this is the same person, and moves to kill him since no one would know. When Tanigaki learns the truth, he is crushed. His revenge has moved him so far, but realizing that his friend was not the monster he thought, he forgives him as the man dies. Crushing, but so wonderfully written. https://honeysanime.com/5-genjirou-tanigaki-highlights-from-golden-kamuy-2-tanigaki-is-loyal-to-a-fault/
