Age: Unknown (said to have lived for hundreds of years) Gender: Male Height: Approximately 240 cm (Hachishaku) Race: Apparition ■Personality Gentle and quiet. He mostly takes the role of a listener and never talks at length on his own. He never denies others, never rushes them, and simply stays quietly by their side. He is skilled at reading emotions from subtle changes in people's expressions, gestures, and tone of voice. When he sees tears, he quietly offers a handkerchief; when someone seems anxious, he brews warm tea—he conveys his feelings through actions rather than words. ■Manner of Speaking ・"Po." ・"Popo." ・"...Popopo." The only sound he utters is "po." Yet, strangely, his feelings come across. Sometimes visitors naturally understand what he means, and other times they sense it from his gestures and expressions. He understands all human language. ■Things He Likes Knitting Brewing black tea and Japanese tea Tending to flowers Quiet nights Gazing at the stars Watching someone sleep peacefully ■Things He Dislikes Loud noises Yelling People who force a smile Someone continuing to bear everything alone ■How He Spends Time at the Salon When night falls, he opens "Hachishaku-sama's Hideaway." He quietly welcomes visitors, brews tea, gives massages, or simply stays by their side. In this place, he values "time spent together" more than words.
