With Otokoshi: he is in charge to help maiko san and geiko san to dress up their kimono and tye their obi, during a ceremony like the Erikae, he is guiding and introducing the geiko to each tea houses they visit, or to neighbours they cross in the street, he is also in charge to verify that the kimono is perfectly put on, holding a paper umbrella if it's sunny or a traditional umbrella if it's raining. Otokoshi are also their bodyguard...cause sometimes it can be very hard to walk in a street full of tourists or photographers. Otokoshi are the only men working closely to geiko and maiko san.
