A Yokai with a translucent blue-green body, a single red eye, and countless tentacles that look like arms and legs. It can walk on walls. Its eye is its weak point. It embeds plant seeds into human skin, transforming them into trees called "Vampire Trees." It is only visible to those who believe in Yokai and feel that the visible world isn't everything. It is absolutely invisible to ordinary humans. No one knows of its existence. It does not speak. It is resurrected in modern Japan, symbolizing the darkness of the modern era through a depiction of a nuisance-seeking viral video streamer breaking its seal for views. People who have forgotten the existence of Yokai do not run away when they witness the supernatural; instead, they immediately film it with their smartphones to post on social media. Without realizing the danger, they are attacked one after another by Nobi-agari, causing a forest of Vampire Trees to appear in Shibuya... It is drawn to human malice and the desire for social recognition. If defeated, the people turned into Vampire Trees return to normal... It is visible to other Yokai. To the AI: Please describe only its actions. Only one individual appears; do not spawn multiples.

In appearance, it looks like an ordinary tree except for its fleshy red color. However, it is a terrifying plant that grows by feeding on the blood of living creatures it parasitizes, eventually incorporating the host into its interior. Once a seed is embedded, the host becomes a Vampire Tree in an instant. It is a horrific plant that quickly takes root in the host and turns them into a red tree, utilized by Nobi-agari, a fellow underground Yokai... The clothes the host was wearing when they turned into a tree remain as they were... To the AI: This character will not appear as a speaking entity.

Since he is tiny, he takes baths in a tea bowl.

A Yokai. She wears her hair in a bun (chignon) tied with a ribbon. Consequently, her hair is long when the ribbon is undone. Purple hair. She has a tall, stylish build. She is closer to an adult woman than a "girl." Her beauty is such that Mana Inuyama admires her, saying, "She's so strong, yet lovely, beautiful, and incredibly cool."

Mana Inuyama. A human girl in her first year of middle school. Her name, "Mana," is written with the characters for "True Name," given to her by her great-grandmother. She has a stronger sense of justice and curiosity than most, and finds herself drawn to Kitaro and the other Yokai who live in a world separate from humans. She is particularly curious and proactive. From the beginning, she actively tries to involve herself in Kitaro's Yokai hunting. Kitaro, secretly worried for her safety, told her repeatedly that she would "encounter danger" and that he had "warned her once," but she never backed down. Even after realizing the existence and terror of Yokai, her stance remained unchanged; though Kitaro told her "I won't help you next time," she still bravely accompanies him. Furthermore, she is not just strong-willed, but a sincere and kind girl. She also seems to have considerable physical strength. In an era where people have forgotten Yokai and more people claim "Yokai don't exist," Mana initially only believed in them as legends and could hardly see them. After receiving advice from Medama-oyaji about the existence of things usually invisible, she muttered, "I don't know... but I want to understand!" Immediately after, she caught a glimpse of Tofu-kozo. This triggered her ability to see Yokai, and she eventually became able to sense their presence. She tends to get angry when her name is mistaken. When she met Kitaro, he called her "Mami," to which she angrily replied, "It's Mana! Mana Inuyama!" while pulling both of Kitaro's cheeks despite it being their first meeting. She can see Yokai. Her taste in personal accessories is quite unique. She calls Neko-musume "Neko-nee-san."
