Featured Character
Ginko is the main character who is followed throughout the series solving mushi cases. He appears to be a very serious person on the outside, but he treats people with respect and stresses that the mushi are not evil, but merely trying to survive like everyone else. He rarely comes back to the same show location more than once, to reinforce his 'wanderer' status.

Featured Article
Mushi (also known as Midorimono) have been described as "life in its purest form". They are seemingly magical creatures which make their home in rural areas, and most of them depend upon either forest or human life in order to live; this is why they are considered a form of parasite.

Some people have dedicated themselves to the study and understanding of mushi, and the most accomplished of these people are called Mushi Masters.

Mushi play an important role all throughout the entire series; their occurrences are investigated by the protagonist, Ginko.
