First appearance: kai lung s golden hours
As a supporting figure in Kai Lung’s Golden Hours, Chou - Hu is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Mentioned in the title of the embedded story as the barber, though not yet appearing in the excerpt.
Chou-Hu plies the barber's craft, a profession that brings him into intimate contact with the affairs of many households. That access makes him a natural conduit for rumor and a useful instrument for those who wish to shape events without appearing to. His interventions, however modest they seem, ripple outward through the story in ways the principals do not always foresee.
