Chihiro: Will we meet again sometime?
Haku: Sure we will. Promise.

Haku is the deuteragonist in Spirited Away,

Looks

Haku appears to be around 13 years of age in physical age. He has straight black hair in a bob haircut and light green eyes when he is human. Haku wears blue short hakama, white kariginu with blue kimono underneath. When he transforms into the dragon he has a mint green mane and a white scaly body.

In film

Haku first appears when Chihiro is on the bridge of the bathouse. At this, he quickly yells to her to "Get out!" and get across the river before nightfall. But, when Chihiro fails to do this, she runs off. Then, in a panic, he goes in search for her and tells her that she is becoming invsible. Haku then unbinds her when her legs become stuck and takes her to the bathouse. Then, he helps her cross the bridge and in the garden outback, he tells her that she needs to get a job to survive from Kamaji the boiler man.

After Chihiro succeeds in geting a job, Haku then hands her off to Lin. The next morning, he takes her to her parents who have turned into pigs. Haku then warns Chihiro that if she forgets her real name like he forgot his, then she will be trapped in the spirit world forever. Then, Haku leaves and comes back days later gravely injured by paper birds and blood dripping from his body. Now, Haku ends up in Yubabba's office bleeding and close to death. Having Chihiro on his back, they end up falling down a mine shaft and into the boiler room with Kamaji.

Then, while Chihiro is off returning the seal that Haku allegedly stole, he then tells Yubaba that he will get her son back and flies off to Zeniba's (Yubaba's twin sister). Flying in the night with Chihiro on his back, Chihiro tells him that when she was little she fell into a river to retrieve a little pink shoe and that she thought she would drown, but, he saved her. She then tells him the river's name was the Kohaku river and thus revealing his real name. Both of them return to the bathouse, and they say their good-byes at the river which has now been filled in.

Haku promises, however, that he and Chihiro would one day meet again as he lets go of her hand and watches her leave to go find her parents.
