Lord

Haku looks about 12 years old physically. He has straight, combed dark green hair and slanted green eyes. When human, Haku wears a traditional white robe that closely resembles a tied Karginu with a lavender sash, a short traditional indigo-dyed Sashinuki (a type of kuribakama) underneath, and beige sandals. A darker blue Hitoe can be seen on the sides and shoulders of the dress. When he transforms into a dragon, he has teal and mint green mane, with a white, scaly body.

Nigihayami Kohakunushi (ニギハヤミ コハクヌシ , Nigihayami Kohakunushi, lit. "God of the Swift Amber River"), referred to throughout much of the film by his name given by Yubaba: Haku (ハク, haku), is the protagonist of the 2001 animated film Spirited Away.

Haku first appears when Chihiro is on the bridge leading to the bathhouse. He quickly asks her to leave the town and cross the river again before nightfall. But when Chihiro fails to do so, she runs away in panic. Haku goes to find her, and when Chihiro realizes she has become invisible, she gives her something to eat so she won't disappear. Haku unties her when her legs get stuck and takes her to the bathhouse. Afterwards, he helps her cross the bridge and, in the garden, tells her that she has to find a job to survive with Kamajī, the tinker.

When Chihiro manages to find a job, Haku entrusts her to Lin. The next morning, he takes her to his parents, who have been turned into pigs. Haku warns Chihiro that if she forgets her real name like he has forgotten hers, she will be trapped in the spirit world forever. That's when Chihiro knew she could trust him. Haku then leaves and returns a few days later, badly injured by the paper birds and with blood dripping from his body in the form of a dragon. Now Haku finds himself in Yubaba's office, bleeding and close to death. With Chihiro in tow, they end up falling down a well and into the boiler room with Kamaji.

Then, just as Chihiro has gone to bring back the seal that Haku supposedly stole, Haku tells Yubaba that he is going to get her son back and flies to Zeniba (Yubaba's twin sister). Yubaba agrees to leave Chihiro, but he has to test her. Zeniba tells them that only true love can break the curse. Flying through the night with Chihiro in tow, Chihiro tells him that when she was little she fell into a river to retrieve a small pink shoe and thought she would drown, but he saved her. She goes on to say that the river's name was the Kohaku River, thus revealing its true name. The two return to the bathhouse and say goodbye to the river, which has now been filled in.

Haku promises, however, that he and Chihiro will meet again one day, as he lets go of her hand and watches her set off in search of her parents.

Haku has many personalities. He can be kind and cooperative at times, strict and uptight at others. He is wise and able to act according to the situation. He is more than willing to compromise when someone matters to him. From the beginning of the story to the end, he does everything in his power to keep Chihiro from getting hurt and to help her get out safely. His unwavering determination helps Chihiro eventually trust him, despite the conflicting information the other characters in Spirited Away have about him.

Of course, Haku always told her that she could trust him. Lin, however, was unsure of Haku's intentions and told Chihiro not to trust him. Zeniba, Yubaba's twin sister, insists that Haku is a greedy thief who stole her golden seal. In the end, Chihiro trusts Haku. Later, it is revealed that Haku is Yubaba's slave, controlled by a black worm in his body.

Haku's Skills dragon haku

As the spirit of the river, Haku possesses supernatural powers associated primarily with the element of water. Here are some examples of the powers he possesses:

Asian Dragon Physiology: Being a Japanese river spirit, Haku has the ability to take the form of an Asian dragon, and has been shown to be able to fly in this state. Arcane Knowledge: As a river spirit and Yubaba's apprentice, Haku possesses extensive knowledge of magic and the spirit world, which he has regularly used to keep Chihiro out of trouble and ultimately free her and her parents from the spirit world. Flower Petal Manipulation (Possible): Although it has never been specifically confirmed, it is possible that Haku has the ability to create, shape, and manipulate flower petals. When he attempted to help Chihiro escape the Spirit World when they first met, he blew petals out of his fingertips to distract those who might have detected his presence. Spell: Haku has the ability to cast spells, allowing him to alter reality to achieve various effects. He used a spell to allow Chihiro to regain the use of her legs when she was still adjusting to the Spirit World. Telekinesis: Haku has the ability to move objects with his mind, which he channels through his hands – while trying to escort Chihiro to safety, he has opened doors remotely simply by gesturing with his hands. Concealment (Limited): Haku has the ability to conceal his or others' presence, preventing others from detecting or discovering his position. However, this ability is limited: when Chihiro gasped at the sight of Aogaeru,

The cloak Haku was wearing was torn, allowing Aogaeru to identify her as a human by her scent. Force Field Imprisonment: Haku has the ability to bind, imprison, or restrain objects and people using force fields. When Aogaeru attempted to attack Chihiro while she was exposed as a human, Haku stopped him by imprisoning him in a force field. Flight: Even while in human form, Haku has the ability to defy gravity and propel himself through the air at considerable speeds and heights. Memory Implantation: Haku has the ability to implant memories into the minds of others, which he has used to guide Chihiro into a job at the Yubaba Bathhouse. Supernatural Cooking: Haku has the ability to cook anything with supernatural or magical properties. During his second encounter with Chihiro, he gave her a berry that allowed her to take corporeal form in the spirit world, and much later, gave her rice cakes that restored her physical and mental strength, as well as her optimism.
