Radish Spirit

The Radish Spirit is a minor, friendly character in the Japanese animated film Spirited Away. He is also named Oshira-sama. Due to his size, he is a slow-moving spirit.

Appearances
The Radish Spirit first appears briefly while disembarking from the ferry when Chihiro's body starts to become translucent, soon after the first nightfall of the movie.

As Chihiro is being lead by Lin through the bathhouse to get to Yubaba soon after Kamaji's first appearance, they pass by the Radish Spirit. Lin politely tells him that he will need to take another elevator to go up. He follows Chihiro and Lin since they happen to be going to the same place. Lin tells Chihiro not to pay attention to him, presumably because he is not particularly liked among other spirits. Even so, he then helps to hide Chihiro in the elevator from a suspicious bathhouse worker. After Chihiro leaves the elevator, they exchange a bow, and the elevator doors close.

The Radish Spirit is not seen again until after Chihiro cleanses the Unnamed River Spirit, and then for the last time after Chihiro completes her final test at the end of the movie.
