Story

Template:Spoiler

Background

Dr. Redbeard founded Yakushi Village after he came across a fertile and well-lit piece of land that he could use to help the sick. However, it upsets him when nobody comes to live there. He uses his herbs to create medicines for his patients. He also has a brother called Dr. Bluebeard.

Dr. Redbeard can be found in his house bearing a large gourd on top of its roof. His life profession is mixing medicines, while also managing the economy of Yakushi Village. Chibiterasu and his partners are issued with an order by him to find some more people to stay in Yakushi, so that the town my grow.

Upon trying to seek medicine for Tama, Chibiterasu and Kuni found out that Dr. Redbeard's house has been infested by demons. The two needed to defeat every one of the demons in his house in order to ask medicine for him. After defeating all of the demons, Dr. Redbeard was very thankful, only to be stumped by another problem: his herbs lack sunlight. After using Sunrise, with Yakushi Village finally bright and crisp, Dr. Redbeard made the medicine (specifically a cure-all or some sort), he calls it the "Dr. Redbeard's Close Shave". He gave it to Kuni, only to be taken back when he said that the medicine is for Tama. He said that Tama was using his medicine to make fireworks. "Something about it producing new colors, pure crazy talk! My herbs are for healing people, not for use in fireworks! Fireworks aren't good for anything but making noise". Dr. Redbeard's implication against fireworks. Told by Kuni, Chibiterasu carried the doctor to the cliffs of Yakushi, where Ayame is; she expresses her final will to watch Tama's firework show. Moved by this, Dr. Redbeard gave Kuni and Chibiterasu the medicine and herbs needed for Tama to be cured of his illness and to create certain fireworks models.

Later, when Chibiterasu and Kagu is given the medicine from Dr. Bluebeard as a reward for catching a thief, they returned to Yakushi Village, only to know that Ayame is dying from her terminal disease. However, when the medicine of Dr. Redbeard and his brother's are mixed together, they created a solution that is capable of curing even Ayame's illness.Template:Spoiler end

Quote

• "Who can mix medicine in a situation like this?"
• "Hot darn in a hat! You got rid of all them ghosts! Much obliged, I am."
• Alright, I'll mix your medicine!"
• "Not even my medicine can cure Ayame's illness."

Trivia

• Dr. Redeard is inspired by the Template:Wp film Template:Wp, in which the titular character plays a very similar role to that of Dr. Redbeard, as well as the moniker "Dr. Redbeard".
• In Japanese, the word 「髭」 (「ひげ」^?; hige) means both "beard" and "mustache". This perhaps caused the internationalization team of Ōkamiden to mistakenly translate Dr. Redbeard's name as "Dr. Redbeard" instead of "Dr. Redmustache".Template:Refbar
