Hijiri Minase first appears in the Devil's Trill Arc as a young violin prodigy. After getting an operation to save his vision via a cornea transplant Hijiri becomes bound to a contract with a demon Satanogas. The former owner of the cornea made a deal with this demon so that his violin playing would be ungodly but it was at the expense of his daughters life. After the man dies his corneo which was containing the contract goes to Hijiri whom therefore continues the contract unknowingly. It is at this point Satanogas comes looking for Hijiri in order to kill him to complete the contract that was foiled.    Hijiri was originally a failed version of Hisoka in the initial rough phases of the characters; thus there almost identical appearance. Yoko Matsushita however liked the sketch of him and decided to write him into the story.     Hijiri harvests a strong liking of Tsuzuki seeing him like an angel in how hard he works. This results in a little bit of jealousy on the part of Hisoka whom has alot more trouble expressing himself then confident Hijiri. 

Even after death, life is full of paperwork and criminals. Tsuzuki Asato is a 26 year old, happy-go-lucky, and dorky shinigami (god of death) whose job is to makes sure that those who are dead remain dead and stay in their proper realms. Even though he's had this job for over 70 years, he is in the worst division with horrible pay. He also has a knack for not keeping partners (since shinigami work in pairs), but now he seems to have one that will stick around; stubborn, smart-mouthed, serious and defensive 16 year old, Kurosaki Hisoka. With each case they investigate, they come closer to the conspiracies of the serial killer Dr. Muraki Kazutaka. Tsuzuki's relationship with Hisoka is growing stronger and closer...but there is a dark past to how Tsuzuki died that will not give him peace.
