1.5K
No Face is an odd spirit that takes an interest in Chihiro. Chihiro lets No Face into the bathhouse through a side door. At first he is a strange cloaked masked wraith that merely breathes and smiles. No Face is a lonely being who seems to sustain itself on the emotions of those he encounters particularly their emotional reception to his gifts. He is helpful to Chihiro because she helped him whereas after observing the bathhouse staffs reaction to gold and his own attempts to win them over with more gold he reacts to their greed by becoming a grotesque monster which eats lots of food and some of the staff. He calms down and reverts to his former state after he leaves the bathhouses influence. At the end he stays with Zeniba as a helper. No Faces mask movement and name share many similarities with the Japanese Noh theater. He also assumes the voices and personality of those he quoteatsquot.
