Cute, but I read it this way: "Kojima ... his two sisters who have not been given names." Because, sexism. It's not like he had any particular role to play, but the story centered him anyway.

Anyway, I really liked the details, and the ending, when the tengu was so jealous and irate that he shook himself off the wall, and broke his nose: "It served him right." Heh.
