Appearance[]
Gozuka is a tall, bald man with intense eyes, downward-slanted eyebrows and an incredibly intimidating aura. He has scars going across his nose, along his left cheek and across his lip. His most notable feature are the ornate tattoos covering his forearms and on his neck and head.
He is surrounded by two, light-coloured cat spirits with forked tails who rest on his shoulders.
Gozuka wears a dress shirt and trousers helped up by a belt, as well as a chain necklace.
Personality[]
At first glance, Gozuka appears as a ruthless, intimidating man. However, his appearance belies his personality.
He is shown to be incredibly caring, taking in a stray cat and being incredibly patient and kind even when it clawed his face and destroyed his socks.
His warm personality is also implied through the spirits of his cats and wife, who seem content to be in his presence and unlike other spirits, retain a normal appearance instead of a horrifically mutated one.
Biography[]
At one point, Gozuka's wife and two cats died.
He approaches Miko and Hana at the park, where he offers to take in a stray cat. He is initially rejected in favour of Zen, though soon after he returns to pick up the cat.
He is later shown taking care of the cat in his house.
