Uzumaki is a Japanese horror manga series created by Junji Ito. The plot centers around Kirie Goshima, a high school student, her lover Suichi Saito, and the residents of Kurouzu-cho, a quiet small Japanese village surrounded by spiral-related occurrences.

Yasuo Goshima is the father of the main character, Kirie Gishomia, in the Uzumaki series. He is a potter in the town of Kurouzu-Cho. He is one of the very few individuals in the story to get contaminated by the spiral (several times, at that!) and recover. It suggests that he may or may not have some immunity to the spiral.

Yasuo Goshima’s Obsession with Spirals

Yasuo is a passionate potter who loves what he does. He catches the spiral curse through The Firing Effect and, as a result, keeps removing cursed clay from Dragonfly Pond, which causes his artwork to take the shape of twisted spirals.

By praising his work and persuading him of the artistic value contained within a spiral, it is claimed that Mr. Saito was the one who introduced him to the spiral obsession. Kirie Goshima might have inherited Yasuo's calm and easygoing personality when he was not affected by the spiral.

However, the curse itself is known to devour the entire population of Kurouzu-Cho every once in a while and so he was found in the City of Spiral underneath the town.
