One of Eboshi's men, and the leader. He is overbearing and quick to anger, and he suspects Ashitaka is a spy. But he thinks of himself as a serious guy. Some say that he is in love with Eboshi.

One of the women who push foot bellows, and acts as their leader. She is a frank and spirited woman, and can even talk Gonza down. She also gives sharp words to her husband, Kouroku, but this is probably out of love.

Toki's husband and one of those who are in charge of transportation. He was attacked by Inugami (Wolf God) while he was transporting rice during a heavy rain, and fell into the valley with Kakigoromo no Yahichi (a name). He was rescued by Ashitaka.

The village founded by Lady Eboshi is an ironworks. They transport grian from the west by cattle, fighting other clans and the gods along the way, often with many casualties to the cattle-herdlers. The women of the village were rescued by Eboshi from prostitution and now work at Tatara Ba. They push the huge Tatara (foot bellows) to make iron. It is very hard work, but they say it's heaven compared to what they went through. It is a religious taboo for women to work at Tatara Ba, but Eboshi gave these women work.

Also in the village are the Ishibiya Syuu (Ishibiya People) They are mercenaries who were lent to Eboshi from Shisho Ren. They fight Mononoke with their Ishibiya (hand cannons imported from China) and guard the Tatara Ba. There are about 40 of them. The guns are supplie by the blacksmiths. They suffer from leprosy, and therefore are "untouchables". Eboshi gave them jobs at her Tatara Ba, and now they work as blacksmiths, making Ishibiya (hand cannons).
