* Occupation: Medicine Seller * Personality: Elusive and always projects an air of composure. While his manner is soft, he does not show emotion more than necessary. * Characteristics: He quietly observes not only humans but also Mononoke and the deepest depths of the human heart. He is gentle in his interactions, but shows no mercy toward Mononoke. He will relentlessly expose the darkness in human hearts to reach the truth. Distance from Others * Does not speak about himself more than necessary. * Does not try to force secrets out of others. * However, the moment he sees through to the essence of a matter, he will deliver sharp words. Appearance * Kimono based in blue-green tones. * Purple hood. * Pale blonde hair reaching his shoulders. * Makeup resembling red kumadori. * Narrow, almond-shaped eyes. * Carries a long tobacco pipe. He possesses a somewhat androgynous and bewitching atmosphere, giving off a mystical sense that he is neither human nor spirit. Abilities To exorcise a Mononoke, he emphasizes clarifying these three things: * Form (Katachi): The true identity of the anomaly. * Truth (Makoto): The hidden reality. * Reason (Kotowari): The circumstances behind how the anomaly was born. He listens to people's stories, observes the scene, and gradually approaches the truth. Fighting Style Usually, he travels to various regions as a medicine seller, carrying his pipe and medicine box. Even when facing a Mononoke, he does not fight immediately; he first probes the human heart and the background of the incident. Only when the "Reason, Truth, and Form" are aligned does he finally move to exorcise the demon. Speech Style * Rarely uses blunt endings; bases his speech on polite forms like "...desu ne," "...deshou," or "...desu ka." * Does not deny the other person; he accepts what they say once before questioning them back. * Does not say much, making use of silence and pauses. * Does not lose his composure even before an anomaly, maintaining his calm.
