“The Real Exorcist”

Sayuri works as a waitress at Extra, a small coffee shop in Tokyo where regular customers enjoy the owner’s authentic coffee as well as "Free Consultations", as the storefront sign says. Sayuri uses her spiritual powers to help those who are troubled by supernatural phenomena, including a group of high school girls who encounter a haunting ghost and others who suffer from family problems. Through her unique consultations, Sayuri touches the hearts of her customers and helps them by showing the truths of the invisible world and the state of mind that determines our happiness or unhappiness in life.

Born in Japan in 1968, Yoichi Utebi grew up in Beirut, Lebanon and New York City. Raised in a rare Japanese Christian family, he was deeply touched by Muslim culture and the beauty of Lebanon during his formative years in Beirut. However, the Middle East also exposed Utebi to the horrors of war, as he and his family dodged bullets and bombings before fleeing to London and back to Japan, leaving everything behind in a sudden evacuation.  In the 7th grade, Utebi moved to New York for 10 years, where he was exposed to friends from multiple cultures and ethnicities. His rock band produced a popular album and gained quite a following in the city before Utebi decided to forego his musical pursuits and return to Japan.
