Mushi

Mushi is a young boy who lives in Kamiki Village with his Mother and pet dog Hayabusa. His father however died a long time ago and Hayabusa was his dog.
Mushi has a pet dragonfly on a string, however when you go through the Spirit Gate you will see Mushi's ancestor and he has what looks like a floating Dogu head on a string.

Mushi has a lot of small roles in the storyline. He will reward you with Praise if you manage to dig up the "oddly shaped turnip" in his Mother's garden.
During the Moon Festival Mushi has a close encounter. He is right in the path of the Orochi's sacrifice arrow, however his dog pulls in out of the way just in time. This is because his dog is not a normal dog, he is in fact one of the Canine Warriors, Chu. It turns out the real Hayabusa died along with his father and Chu replaced him. However Mushi already knows this as his Father's dog would not have left him to die.
