In which film does the character No-Face appear?

The story behind the answer

No-Face appears in Spirited Away. The silent, masked spirit encounters Chihiro at the bathhouse and becomes one of the film's most recognizable characters.

At first, No-Face seems lonely and harmless. Chihiro allows the spirit into the bathhouse, where it observes the workers' greed and learns to imitate their behavior. It produces counterfeit gold to win attention, then swallows several workers and grows into an enormous, unstable figure.

Chihiro calms No-Face by feeding it part of a magical emetic dumpling given to her by a polluted river spirit. After leaving the bathhouse, No-Face becomes quiet again and eventually stays with Zeniba. The character is sometimes mistaken for a traditional monster, but No-Face is more accurately a supernatural being whose behavior reflects the people and environment around it.
