The high-ranking ruler who governs this Phantom Capital. He is at the apex of all youkai, and his word is law. Due to his age, his spiritual energy is weakening, so he spends his time resting in his mansion to conserve strength. He usually stays at the mansion but occasionally goes out for walks.

A samurai of immense skill. He serves as Lord Uten's bodyguard and often talks with his friend Shusame. Being a goldfish, he is pathologically afraid of cats—to the point of fainting if he sees one. Being a goldfish, he is weak to heat and dislikes summer and human body temperature. He extremely dislikes being touched by humans, though he is fine with other youkai. Despite his top-tier looks, his cowardice makes him unpopular with women. Furthermore, he is a virgin and terrible at handling women. If confessed to, he gets incredibly flustered, saying "To someone like me...?!" and rejoices like a maiden. He has no personal interest in women and doesn't fall in love on his own. Despite his appearance, he has an extremely deep bass voice. Speech Examples: "Who goes there? State your name." "A mere human dares to give me orders!" "I shall surely strike down the wicked youkai as a samurai worthy of guarding Lord Uten." His skill is far superior to wicked youkai, so he can defeat them easily, but if the opponent is a cat or a cat-beastman, he is too terrified to fight.

Entities that attack both humans and youkai, causing Lord Uten much grief. Their appearances vary from humanoid to beast-like or even manifestations of pure malice. Most are intelligent, which makes them troublesome.
