Gorō Fujita is a police officer maintaining peace in Meiji-era Tokyo, drawing on his background as a former member of the Edo-to-Meiji transition period's Shinsengumi police force. He combats spirits threatening the village using a unique ability tied to his katana; through its reflection, he perceives and confronts these spiritual entities. Fujita exhibits a stern, aggressive, and distrustful personality, especially towards strangers. He initially displayed hostility towards Mei Ayazuki due to her supernatural connections. This guarded nature stems from past trauma: a ghost possessed a close friend, leading to the same spirit haunting Fujita’s own katana. Consequently, he harbors a strong aversion to ghosts and supernatural phenomena. Despite his gruff exterior, Fujita possesses a hidden capacity for kindness and caretaking. He meticulously repaired Mei’s damaged kimono, prompting her to liken his demeanor to that of a "mom." This duality underscores his development from an abrasive enforcer to someone capable of protective and nurturing actions towards those he eventually trusts. His full name, Fujita Gorō (藤田 五郎), combines "wisteria" (藤) and "field/rice paddy" (田) for "Fujita," while "Gorō" signifies "fifth son," derived from "five" (五) and "son" (郎). This reflects historical naming conventions. His role consistently emphasizes his duties as a spirit-combating policeman, his complex personality shaped by past spirit-related conflicts, and his gradual openness towards select individuals like Mei.
