Hippocrates is a mysterious and eccentric alchemist who appears from a basement the day before the main character Akane's birthday. Hippocrates recruits Akane, believing she is the "Goddess of the Green Wind," to help him save his world from a severe drought.

His appearance is characterized by:

• Formal Attire: He typically wears a sharp, dark suit with a waistcoat, a white dress shirt, and a tie, giving him a professional and gentlemanly look.

• Distinctive Mustache: He has a well-groomed, prominent mustache that is a key feature of his design.

• Accessories: He often wears a classic top hat or a similar formal hat, along with round spectacles that emphasize his scholarly nature.

• Stature: He is a tall, slender man with a composed and often serious facial expression, though he can be quite animated when discussing alchemy or his mission.

His look without the hat includes:

• Slicked-Back Hair: He has dark hair that is neatly slicked back, maintaining his refined and orderly aesthetic.

• Widow's Peak: His hairline often features a subtle widow's peak, which adds to his distinguished facial structure.

• Focus on the Face: Without the hat, his prominent mustache and round spectacles become even more of a focal point, emphasizing his scholarly and eccentric personality.

• The Reveal: His striking blue eyes are often a surprise because they contrast so sharply with his dark brown hair and formal, somber clothing.

• The "Otherworld" Look: Having eyes like sapphires helps establish him as someone not from our world, giving him a magical or "otherworldly" quality despite his very human-looking suit and tie.

Master Hippocrates

experiences notable frustration during the film, primarily stemming from his loss of dignity and the challenges of his mission.

• Physical Transformation: His most significant source of frustration occurs when he is transformed into a small fly-like creature. This "low-class pest" form is a humiliating contrast to his usual status as a dapper, well-dressed alchemist, and he is visibly aggrieved by this change.

• Akane’s Initial Reluctance: Hippocrates is an urgent and serious character who believes the world is in grave danger. He faces immediate frustration when he first meets Akane, as she is passive and initially refuses to help him.

• The Drought Crisis: As a refined intellectual, the ongoing water shortage and the threat to his world weigh heavily on him, contributing to his serious and sometimes stressed demeanor.

In contrast, characters like Chii provide a foil to his frustration with their more relaxed and casual attitudes.
