A half-human, half-youkai [[merchant]], and one of the only few named male characters in [[Touhou]].

He runs [[Kourindou]], an antiques shop near the [[Forest of Magic]] stocked with items found in the human world outside [[Gensokyo]], sometimes supplied by [[Yakumo Yukari|Yukari]]. [[Hakurei Reimu|Reimu]] and [[Kirisame Marisa|Marisa]] often visit him, but rarely as customers.

He recently got a small [[robot dog]] pet, which he named [[Laika (touhou)|Laika]].

[[Doujinshi]] sometimes portray him either as a lecherous [[pervert]] running around wearing only a [[fundoshi]] or as an extremely [[muscular male]] with power almost equal to the rest of the cast - dubbed [[MANnosuke]].

He makes a cameo in the background of the [[human village (touhou)|Human Village]] stage in [i][[Hopeless Masquerade]][/i], his first official in-game appearance of any kind.
