The infamous "demon lieutenant" of the Youra Police Department, Fujita Gorou leads special forces dealing with cases involving mononoke despite not having any spiritual affinity of his own. He deeply distrusts all kinds of ghosts, thus often coming into conflict with mononoke lovers such as Koizumi Yakumo and Mei.

He has an unexpectedly gentle side, too, being good with all domestic chores and acting as a cat magnet.
