He is a high school student who is able to see yōkai and a part-time employee of the Mononokean. Hanae has a cheerful, amiable and straightforward personality and can easily sympathise with both human and yōkai. As Hanae can act rather childlike at times, with his naive innocence, impulsiveness and abundance of energy, he is quite often compared to and referred as a five-year-old (mostly by Haruitsuki).
