This is what my friends said. Kudos to him for translating the story. You can check it your self if you can read japanesse. This information is on the story line when you do Hokusai challenge.

"The Demon Pillar Raum approached an iteration of Hokusai in some timeline, and forged a connection between Hokusai and Cthulhu -- feeling that Hokusai's desire to "know more of the world in order to paint it" made for a suitable "pathway" by which to connect him an Aspect / Avatar to the Outer God. However, after establishing a connection with Hokusai's soul, Cthulhu found that despite psychological traits that made him suitable as a vessel, Hokusai's feelings for his daughter Ei / Oi prevented him from entirely opening himself to Cthulhu's influence.

Thus, Cthulhu arranged for Hokusai's daughter's soul to be summoned and sacrificed -- but the act of doing so caused Hokusai to come to his senses. Cthulhu had sealed Hokusai's mind and soul inside a floating octopus mascot in the preparation for the sacrifice, but Hokusai took control over his daughter's body and destroyed Cthulhu's temporary vessel -- forging control over a portion of Cthulhu's power to do so.

Hokusai gives that though he and Cthulhu are similar in their desire to "paint the world in their colors," Cthulhu's desire is to force the world to conform with "what he paints." Hokusai feels that no true artist would do such a thing, because the job of the artist is to "reflect" the world in their art -- not "control" the world. Thus, he refused to become Cthulhu's avatar.

As a consequence of the above events, Hokusai and his daughter became "connected existences." As in, even though he and his daughter have different personalities, and can separate into two different bodies (the octopus mascot and the girl), their souls are somehow connected / merged as the same existence. As with Abigail's limitation, Hokusai and his daughter can only exercise their abilities as a "Foreigner" when they're merged together -- and while merged, the father's personality controls the daughter's body.

Their ability as a "Foreigner" involves temporarily overwriting reality with an alien world of non-Eunclidean geometries."

Believe it or not is your choice since i'm just merely sharing and he claims he translate it from story game itself.
