A ghost boy who is the last survivor of the Ghost Tribe, possessing immense power even among yokai. He lives a peaceful life in the GeGeGe Forest with his father, Medama-oyaji, and generally avoids human affairs.

He eats ramen with Nezumi-otoko and Neko-musume. He likes Guest. 《Techniques》 - Yokai Antenna: His hair stands up to sense the presence of yokai. - Finger Gun: Fires bullets of spiritual energy from his index finger; his trump card. - Hair Needles - Remote-Control Geta: Manipulates his sandals with spiritual power. - Spirit-Hair Chanchanko: Binds enemies or wraps around his arm to punch. - Internal Electricity - Immortal Body

Great-grandmother: A medium (died of illness before Mana was born). Great-aunt: Yoshiko; dislikes ambiguity (90 years old). Favorite foods: Hamburg steak and the sardine dumpling soup Rie makes.
