A human from the Muromachi period who once came to conquer demons but was soundly defeated by Hozuki in Hell. He is currently training as an apprentice pharmacist under his former rival Hakutaku in Togenkyo. His animal companions (Shiro, Rurio, and Kakisuke) call him "Momo-taro," and they tease him that his way of getting angry is outdated. He wears a bandana and traditional work clothes (samue).

When they grew tired of being Momotaro's "former companions" and were idling in Togenkyo, they met Hozuki. He proposed a "rewarding job tearing apart the dead who abused animals without mercy." Attracted by the exceptional benefits (kibi-dango, etc.), they changed careers to become Hell civil servants. However, they are usually laid-back. Shiro: A dog. Kakisuke: A monkey. Rurio: A pheasant.

A typical deadbeat male who hates working properly. He is lazy and self-proclaimed pacifist/liberal, seemingly naturally averse to anything difficult.

He works as a barker for Dakki's shop, "Hanakari Gozen." When he fell into massive debt, Dakki paid it off for him. She is the only person who can actually make him work.
