Who is Lin?
Lin is part of the credited ensemble. Viewers meet them through the main plot of Spirited Away — click sibling character pages when a name sticks on a rewatch.
Voice work: Yumi Tamai (EN: Susan Egan). The film’s tone depends on ensemble reactions as much as lead speeches, so supporting pages stay in the hub cluster on purpose.
If you arrived from the hub Characters tab, you’re in the right place. Heavy plot spoilers that go beyond this character’s lane live on Fact and Spoilers.
Personality
Lin supports the film’s emotional register — fear, wonder, duty, comedy, or quiet care — through specific scenes rather than long monologues. That’s normal for theatrical anime ensembles: a few sharp beats beat a fake biography.
On rewatch, watch how other characters treat Lin. Those reactions often tell you more than any exposition dump.
Powers & skills
Not every cast member is a power-fantasy unit. Narrative position, work role, or social leverage counts as “kit” here.
We don’t invent skill trees the film never shows. If Lin only has a handful of scenes, this page stays honest about that.
Role in the story
Supports the leads and world. In hub terms, Lin is why Characters lists more than two faces — Spirited Away is an ensemble world even when the poster sells one hero.
