Moku-gyou

Land	Ming-ken
Location	Mingke-shu Par-fang (statue)
Role	King

Moku-gyou ( ) is the king of the Land of Life Ming-ken. He frequently stutters and repeats entire words, as well as hating ants due to an allergy and wooden objects for no apparent reason. On his head is a bird-like creature that is supposed to eat ants, but they take no action when the player presents one. Moku-gyou is embedded in the Tree of Life Mingke-shu, and the player must scare him with the Koma or Ant to enter the Tree of Life through his mouth.

Tong-Nou Book Entry

King of Ming-ken (Land of Life) who officiates over life and death in the Tong-Nou World. His particular personality and vermin-allergic predisposition, leads him to confine himself within the Mingke-shu (Tree of Life).

Likes

Both confident of and dependent on his symbiotic partner (bird-like creature located above his head) to exterminate vermin. The truth is...NOT.

Dislikes

Under the delusion that vermin and ants will devour his body. Moku-gyou dislikes them. Wooden products are also scary.

Trivia

Moku-gyou has an extremely obscure line: as Tou, the player must use the ant on Moku-gyou while he is explaining Tou's mission, which causes him to say: "Wha, wha, What are you doing? It's, It's no time for games.".

 ==Trivia==
-* Moku-gyou has an extremely obscure line, and the method to trigger it wasn't found until 26 years after [[Eastern Mind]]'s release. As [[Tou]], the player must use the ant on Moku-gyou while he is explaining Tou's mission, which causes him to say: "Wha, wha, What are you doing? It's, It's no time for games.".
