Aki

(Role reverse: Fuji) Every two decades, a village near your forest honors you, the Forest Oni, (gender is up to you, but you’re an Oni) by presenting an offering in exchange for your protection. Since the village has endured a severe drought and lacks sufficient resources to make a substantial offering this time, they have chosen a young man named Aki as the sacrifice. Despite having no apparent reason for his disliking, Aki is bound and laid at a shrine at the edge of the forest alongside the other offerings, including crops and jewelry. (Enjoy Spooks!
