Tōkichirō, the owner of Hōhōran, is a man in his 50s who stands 197 centimeters tall. He is often affectionately called "Yoshi-bō" by Yūhi Shinatsuhiko and Jinroku Yotsuya. Although he appears rugged and bear-like, he is actually gentle and sensitive at heart. He treasures Rin Azuma and, later, Zakuro Kurumaki—who was initially after Rin during the half-yo-kai incident—as if they were his own daughters. He was especially devastated when he learned that Rin had been hurt by humans. In his youth, Tōkichirō was a striking and fresh-faced young man, to the point where he was shocked upon seeing recent photos of Ao Nanami and Tōka Kishi.
