I was wondering if Haiji was a boy or girl. I read somewhere that Haiji was a boy.

Haiji is a spirit, so technically neither, but...

Haiji is always referred to as "she" and is voiced by a female, so, if spirits have genders, Haiji is a girl.

It should be noted that this, like many genders of nonhuman beings in Japanese fiction, is most likely purely translation headcanon. I can't recall a single case the character's gender was being referenced in the original lines, I searched in Japanese and could not find anything about the character's gender anywhere.

Japanese Wikipedia claims the name is short for “haizirou” [灰次郎], which would be a masculine name, but does not provide a source for this claim and names don't mean much either in this context.

Maybe I missed some part and forgot and they did establish it somewhere in the lines, but in any case it doesn't seem to be in any Japanese source which is all fairly standard for such creatures.
