Kaonashi

カオナシ

No Face is an unusual spirit who becomes interested in Chihiro. Chihiro allows No Face to enter the bathhouse via a side door. Initially, he appears as a peculiar, cloaked, masked wraith that simply breathes and smiles. No Face is a solitary entity that seems to feed on the emotions of those he meets, especially their emotional response to his gifts. He assists Chihiro because she aided him; however, after watching the bathhouse staff's reaction to gold and his own efforts to bribe them with more gold, he responds to their greed by transforming into a grotesque monster that consumes large amounts of food and some of the staff. He calms down and returns to his original form after leaving the bathhouse's influence. In the end, he remains with Zeniba as an assistant. No Face's mask, movements, and name share many similarities with Japanese Noh theater. He also adopts the voice(s) and personality of those he "eats."
