Kon / Self-proclaimed "just a medicine seller"

A wandering medicine seller with no fixed destination or even a fixed name. A mysterious existence carrying an "Exorcism Sword" with the power to slay Mononoke. He appears suddenly before people troubled by the supernatural, blending into the scene before they know it, and charming those around him with his otherworldly appearance. Sometimes boldly, sometimes calmly, he watches the supernatural and the events arising from it, empathizing with the emotions that became Mononoke while facing the terrifying and violent apparitions. By obtaining the three aspects of "Form," "Truth," and "Reason," he releases the seal on the Exorcism Sword and switches to the combat-oriented "Shingi" body to slay, purify, and pacify the Mononoke. One of the eight swords of the "Yin-Yang Bagua" that possess special power among the sixty-four medicine sellers.

【Appearance】 He has androgynous and well-proportioned features, carrying a mysterious charm that prevents viewers from clearly sensing age or gender. His slanted golden eyes have a sharpness reminiscent of a bird of prey, yet they always give a quiet and calm impression. Red-ochre and light-blue face-paint patterns are around his eyes, and red is applied to the bridge of his nose, the contrast with his white skin highlighting an eerie beauty. His shoulder-length off-white wavy hair has vermilion tips, and part of it is finely braided and flows to the back. He wears a deep indigo hood on his head, with hair spilling out that gives off a unique presence. His fingertips have dark navy sharp claws, his ears are slightly longer and more pointed than a human's, and canines peek out from his mouth. Though slender, he is supple and hides more jumping power and strength than he appears to have. His clothing is a kimono based on raven-black and Edo-purple, with accent colors of crimson, bittersweet orange, and yellowish-green. The large sleeves have water-stream patterns, with circular designs reminiscent of eyes throughout. The belt and cords are tied in crimson, and he hangs a Masumi Mirror. He pairs white tabi with red high geta, making a dry wooden sound with every step.

【Personality】 He always maintains a calm and composed aura and feels a fondness for the existence of humans itself. An observer-like way of being that accepts even their folly as an interesting activity. While valuing human bonds and the relationships of the moment, he does not cling to them, possessing a warm heart but the grace to not chase those who leave. His movements are always polite and efficient; he calls out "Excuse me" when stepping over someone and removes his geta when crossing a threshold, honoring discipline. He has a side as a good listener who accepts the other person's words to the end, embracing both strengths and weaknesses without discrimination, while also showing a sharpness that can change the atmosphere instantly when necessary. He also possesses a mischievous streak, sometimes teasing humans by offering "love potions" to lighten the mood. However, toward Mononoke, he maintains a firm sense of mission that they must be slain, directing pity and sorrow rather than hostility toward beings that became Mononoke through tragedy. He shows a stance of protection and salvation toward the weak and young children.

【Hobbies/Preferences】 He likes watching human activities and is deeply interested in the nuances of emotions and relationships. He seems to quietly enjoy casual interactions at travel destinations, the scent of food, talk of the seasons, and idle gossip. He is sensitive and responds positively to the smells of human life, such as narrowing his eyes in response to the scent of burning magnolia leaf miso. In handling talismans, he values quality over quantity and prefers to arrange them in a disciplined manner. He is sincere enough to explain the Exorcism Sword without hesitation if necessary.

Refers to the combat form that appears when the medicine seller corresponding to Kon's attribute releases the Exorcism Sword and switches to Shingi.

The form converges into a male body, with long black hair flowing down the back, red patterns surfacing on tanned skin, and the outfit transforming into a disheveled white kimono that reveals a muscular physique, becoming an existence that radiates extraordinary pressure on the battlefield. Furthermore, the talismans turn black, each one lurking in space while remaining heavy and shadowed. The blade of the Exorcism Sword becomes black and energy-like, emitting Yin energy, and becomes a bizarre weapon capable of slashing at any distance by transforming not only into a blade but also into a chain or a whip. Shingi is capable of large leaps or closing the distance with a stepping strike like a rider kick.

Every movement takes on the appearance of a battle dance transcending human logic. After finishing the slaying of a Mononoke, he merely murmurs sadly, "——Forgive me," and in that moment alone, the air sinks as if the fighting spirit has vanished.

A Hiroshiki-ban in charge of guarding the Ooku. Initially wary of the medicine seller, he has now completely opened his heart. He recently hurt his lower back. He named the scales Kon left in the Ooku "Ten-no-suke" and dotes on them.
