Dr. Crab - originally of noble status but without any money from it, Dr. Crab is a self-made man. He likes to think of himself as nobility and deserving of things because of his status, but he is really just a working class man. He bids against Nobu and the Baron for Sayuri's mizuage and wins. He believes Hatsumomo's rumors about Sayuri for a while, but eventually discards them and bids for Sayuri's mizuage anyway. He fetishizes blood. When he heals Sayuri's leg, he keeps a sample of her blood in a vial along with the blood of other geisha whose blood he has come across. He labels all of the vials of their blood and keeps them in a suitcase. He is a patron of the Ichiriki and the Shirae teahouse.
