Haku is the main protagonist in the film Spirited Away. You can learn how to draw the Haku dragon with the help of this easy anime drawing tutorial.

Haku's human form is that of a 12-year-old boy with green eyes. He aids the young Chihiro in navigating the spirit world after her parents are turned into pigs.

He is trapped in this world because he forgot his real name. He can turn into a powerful flying dragon, as pictured in this drawing guide.

Haku's dragon form is similar to the classic Chinese and Japanese dragons.
