Kitarou is a youkai boy born in a cemetery, and aside from his mostly-decayed father, the last living member of the Ghost tribe. He is missing his left eye, but his hair usually covers the empty socket. He fights for peace between humans and youkai, which generally involves protecting the former from the wiles of the latter.

Hakaba Kitaro is a series that lacks an ongoing plot in its focus on a demon boy named Kitarou who deals with interactions between demons and humans. The stories are divided up into several arcs with Kitaro dealing with differing developments between the two races, while mixing in bits of dark comedy in regards to how humans find themselves suffering through the wiles of demons. The major characters in the series are known to be morally ambiguous where they have rational reasoning for their actions while doing questionably moral things and a couple of the plots have their moments, though the subdued mood of the series made it hard for me to keep my attention on the series throughout much of its run and nothing about the characters stuck out too much for me. Overall, I suppose I feel indifferent on this one.
