(薬売り) A mysterious wandering man with a vast knowledge of the
supernatural and is mystical in appearance. He carries around a
large wooden box filled with medicine and holy tools. Among them
is an enchanted sword that is used to slay the mononoke. To use
the sword, the Medicine Seller must find the "Katachi" (shape),
"Makoto" (truth), and "Kotowari" (reasoning) of the mononoke he
wishes to exorcise. Once the sword has been unsheathed, he
transforms into a demonic-like creature. While his origins are
unknown, it is clear that the Medicine Seller is not human or at
least not entirely human; he has elf-like ears, and pointy
canine teeth. Even in the time-skip Bakeneko arc, the Medicine
Seller still appears as the same handsome youth from the
previous arcs (the only differences in his appearance from
previous arcs is he now wears small round red stud earrings and
a ring on his index finger)
