UPCYCLE: PERMISSIONS!
Natsume Yuujinchou is a series dealing with youkai, Japanese folklore, spirits, kami, and the intermingling of humans with them. Specifically, the Matoba are a clan of exorcists, raised for generations with strong spiritual senses and knowledge of creatures and techniques dealing with spirits.
Generally, in-series, humans with spiritual power are referred to as "able to see". Either "youkai" or "ayakashi" are specifically used to refer to Japanese folklore spirits in the series, though "ayakashi" is more common and I'll be leaning towards using that. Spirits bound to the service of an exorcist are referred to as "shiki".
As Matoba has a strong spiritual ability and the ability to sense the abnormal (and is also the manipulative sort of character to prey upon this), please let me know if there is anything I should know about your character and anything you'd like to opt in/out of regarding the following:
---
Is your character any manner of spirit, youkai, demon, or otherwise inhuman being? Does your character share their body with any manner of spirit, youkai, demon, Persona, etc?
If your character is human, is your character capable themselves of sensing spiritual energy, youkai, demons, etc? Further, do they have harnessable spiritual powers?
Does your character carry any manner of object or artifact that might ping as being related to spirits, demons, the underworld, etc?
Are you okay with Matoba sensing your character's inhumanness/their ability to see/their magical or spiritual artifact?
Are you okay with Matoba testing your character's inhumanness/their ability to see in minor ways (such as asking intrusive questions, summoning his youkai servants, or chanting a spell that might have physical effects *not* on your character such as surroundings)?

Human, but has a second soul inside him. The soul belongs to an elf, so it probably feels mostly human but maybe a little 'off' and a bit more powerful. It's dormant at the moment. Also there's teeny traces of curse energy lingering on him, probably.
If your character is human, is your character capable themselves of sensing spiritual energy, youkai, demons, etc? Further, do they have harnessable spiritual powers?
He can control mana. I'm handwaving that he can see spiritual presences to a degree, but without perfect clarity since mana and spiritual energy aren't exactly 1:1. Happy to fudge details in whatever direction would be more fun to play!
Does your character carry any manner of object or artifact that might ping as being related to spirits, demons, the underworld, etc?
He has a book strapped to his belt that's linked to his soul, so it probably has the same spiritual signature as him. Also he creates trees using magic, but they have the potential to 'connect worlds' so they probably ping as feeling spiritually stronger.
