Kabane Virus

The Kabane Virus is a virus that turns humans into Kabane. It spreads through Kabane bites. It is believed by Ikoma and Takumi that, if the virus can't spread to the brain of the infected person, they will be saved from turning into Kabane. It is speculated that these people turn into Kabaneri.

The origin of the virus remains unknown. Only Ikoma and his friend Takumi know its a virus, while others believe it is a curse.
