This character named Vampire serves as the leader of the Western Yōkai Army in the film *GeGeGe no Kitarō: Yōkai Tokkyū! Maboroshi no Kisha*. His distinct appearance slightly differs from prior Dracula versions in the franchise, though he retains classic traits like a cape and top hat, which double as his weapons. Commanding the Western Yōkai Army, he launches an assault against Kitarō and the Japanese yōkai. A pivotal action sees the Vampire transform Kitarō into coal to fuel the Phantom Train, intending to harness its power for his forces. Kitarō ultimately reverses this transformation and defeats him. The Vampire's role is confined solely to this film, with no broader background story or development featured in other seasons, movies, or spin-offs. His characterization is limited to his antagonistic function within this specific narrative.
