Tanyuu Karibusa

Tanyuu is the fourth and current Scribe of the Karibusa family. A Karibusa Scribe is a person with a special coal-like birthmark. The birthmark contains a type of Mushi called The Forbidden Mushi. The curse is located on her right leg.

Tanyuu is a kind person who, despite the amount of hardship that the Mushi have brought on her life, is extremely attached to them. For this reason, she hates having to hear stories about Mushi being treated as lesser than humans or as vermin that need to be killed. She loves hearing stories about Mushi from Ginko because unlike most Mushishi, he is attached to Mushi and understands that Mushi are not just evil creatures, but simply living creatures trying to survive. She is efficient and talented at her job, something she initially hated as a child but grew to love, and is proud but compassionate towards those she loves.
