Taro

Taro (太郎, Tarō) is Hanako's lover and character that appears early on in the series.

Appearance
Taro's black hair is cut into a choppy bowl cut, with a lock of hair sticking straight up from the top of his head.

He wears a light tan hoodie.

Personality
Taro is an aggressive skeptic of the supernatural and psychics. He seems protective or relatively concerned about his lover, Hanako.

Spring of Youth Arc
Taro is introduced accompanying his lover, Hanako, to see the apparent psychic Reigen. A ghost has haunted Hanako in her dreams, and Reigen offers to help her by exorcising the ghost. Taro is immediately suspicious of Reigen's "exorcism courses" and conflicts with and questions Reigen as the three head to a building where the ghost is. Taro is surprised by the ghost's appearance, and Reigen attempts to exorcise the ghost, Ceiling Crasher with salt. However, that fails. Then, Reigen calls Mob to help with the exorcism. Mob successfully completes the exorcism with Taro in the background.

Separate Ways Arc
Taro later talks about Reigen and how Reigen "scammed him".
