Iku-Ko

Iku-ko is a former hitosume kozo, once part of a band of other cyclops that performed nightly. He likes to cook various foods using things he scavenged in the forests of Sakura Isle. He never really considers what he's putting in, so most the time these dishes end up being extremely bitter or outright poisonous to humans. Strangely he seems to stomach his own food perfectly fine...he seems almost too used to the taste...

While he looks like an innocent kid handing out tofu-based treats to passerby,  he's actually sowing the seeds for a plant-based zombie army! The  orange blots on his body are actually a strange fungi that started growing on him over time. Its spores often fall into his food as he prepares it, allowing it to infect and take control of anyone who happens to eat his tofu cakes. Iku-ko is very hyper-focused on his cooking, and he doesn't really interpret what his toxic dishes are actually doing to people. For all he knows, he's getting more people to appreciate his craft. Some think that not even Iku-ko is in control of his own body.
