At one point, the monk was spotted by a {{Nihongo|'''Bear'''|クマさん|Kuma-san}}, who was ready to eat him for dinner, but left him alone after witnessing the monk eat a dozen dumplings at once, which disgusted the bear.

He was later spotted in the mountains by the {{Nihongo|'''Circus Ringmaster'''|園長さん|Danchō-san}}, who was so impressed by the monk's eating abilities, that he hired him at once. Life on the glittering stage held no appeal for the monk and he vanished soon after.
