Featured  Character
Ginko is the main character who is followed throughout the series solving mushi cases. He appears to be a very cold and serious person on the outside, but he treats humans 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.

Ginko has white hair and an unearthly green-blue eye (his left eye is actually a glass eye), and has been like this ever since he was a child after he was affected by a mushi. He also wears more modern clothes compared to other characters, by wearing slacks, a button up shirt, and occasionally a trench coat.

Featured Article
A mushi has been described as "life in its purest form". They are seemingly magical creatures which seem to 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.

Mushi play an important role all through out the entire series, their occurances is investigated by the protagonist Ginko.
