Seizaemon

Seizaemon (青左衛門) is the leader of the Tanuki of the Bell Forest (鈴ヶ森, Suzuga-Mori) in Pom Poko. He was originally Gonta's enemy, but after learning of the Tama Hills crisis, the two were forced to join forces. He is more reasonable than Gonta and will often counter his rash decision making. During transformation training, he acts as Gonta's guide through the human world. Of the two leaders, Seizaemon is more adaptable. After Gonta's death, the blue army leader forgets his Tanuki origins, joins the humans and goes into real estate, selling off parts of the forest to developers. His name appropriately means "Blue left gate".
