Tsukihime

Arcueid is a beautiful woman with short blonde hair down to her neck, and bright red eyes. Her traditional outfit consists of a long sleeve white shirt, long purple skirt, and black boots. According to Takeuchi during a Q&A along with Nasu, Arcueid is an E-Cup. [10]

Phantas-Moon is a magical girl parody of Arcueid Brunestud that is detailed in Character Material . She wields Medea 's Staff, which she stole.

Arcueid's Arc Drive cut in image in Melty Blood . Arcueid in Chibichuki! , illustrated by Hanabana Tsubomi . Fluffy Idol Morcueid illustrated by B-suke . Phantas-Moon

Arcueid is shown to be a whimsical individual who, although knowing the basics of the modern era, does not seem to know about social norms. Both Nasu and Takeuchi think of her "image color" as white because she is pure in terms of appearance and personality. Once, she shows up at Shiki's school and waves to him from the school rear courtyard, luckily for Shiki only Ciel spots her. Her behaviour is almost childlike, due to the lonely nature of her upbringing, although she is over 800 years old, she spent most of it asleep and knows nearly nothing about the world or how to interact with others. As she works together with Shiki to stop Roa, she gradually begins to enjoy life and starts to like Shiki as more than just a friend.
Arcueid does everything in her power not to drink Shiki's blood, which nearly occurs several times in game as he is practically the only human at night with her, and she has problems controlling her Vampiric Impulses (吸血衝動, Kyūketsu Shōdō ? ) after being drastically weakened by Shiki's attack. She doesn't want to drink blood, as she doesn't want to become a monster that feeds on humans in order to survive.
Arcueid seems to thoroughly enjoy when Shiki cooks breakfast for her. In Melty Blood , Shiki threatens to stop doing this for her if she doesn't meet him in the park that night. When Sion questions whether such a threat would ever have any sort of effect on a True Ancestor, Shiki recounts to her a time that he managed to get Arcueid to immediately apologize to Akiha when she and her were arguing by making the same threat. Later that night, Arcueid does, in fact, meet Shiki and Sion in the park. She apparently cannot stand garlic. In a scene in Kagetsu Tohya , Arcueid eats instant noodles cooked by Shiki that had garlic in them, and becomes sick.
She was originally a being without emotions who never spoke. She only focused on her duties and then returned to sleep in an endless cycle. Shiki, by killing her, made her interested in something on her own for the first time and essentially "broke" her. The "airhead" version of her is something that shouldn't exist alongside her purpose as a weapon, but it was present in her foundation. She is not truly an airhead, but more childish and honest. [10]
She has a constant flow of income in the form of gold, so she has no issues with obtaining money. There is a special gold exchange shop for fugitives in the Mage's Association, and the owner of the shop gives her gold because he is a fan of her. She can be called rich, but she doesn't dress like it because she has no interest in clothing. She later changes to make Shiki happy. [10] She also receives help from Merem Solomon , who reveres her as a "Princess." He helps her travel around the world without much trouble, booking plane tickets and trading gold for money, but she does not know what to do with his unconditional affection. [11] [12]
Arcueid shows up as Neco-Arc in Ciel-Sensei's lessons in Tsukihime and she randomly switches to that persona in some comedy scenes in Kagetsu Tohya , though Neco-Arc seems to be her own existence brought forth by Zelretch in the Melty Blood series.
When she loses control of her Vampiric Impulses, she is known as Red Arcueid . [13] [14] When made aware of Dust of Orisis' plans, she mentioned that it was the same delusional idea that Goetia had.

Rin decides to give Lancer to Bazett and to her surprise, he is a talking Servant. Lancer tries to convince Rin that she can’t trade him away and they are compatible like a dream team.

Tsukihime

Saber is an unborn child within their mother.

Saber in Fate/Grail League , illustrated by Riyo .

Saber is one of four Udon Servants created by Leonardo da Vinci with the intention of keeping the story of the comic busy. Found by Artoria while still an udon larva, she infuses it with her spirit to insure it will become a Saber-class Servant. She gives it to Mash because it will "surely bring harmony to the world" if she raises it. After believing herself to having not raised Rider correctly, Mash is hesitant, but decides to take Saber after noticing Artoria slowly eating the udon.
After Saber manifests, she learns from Artoria that the true Servant is the child rather than the mother. Jeanne d'Arc arrives shortly after, believing the child is the coming of her lord and rejoicing. In later strips this is proven to be untrue however, as the child speaks from inside the womb to propose to the three Servant girls, much to Jeanne's shock.


Tsukihime

Saber Lion is identical to Saber with the exception of her wearing a cartoonish male lion costume.

Although cognizant and able to articulate herself, she is only able to growl "Gao!", the Japanese onomatopoeia for a lion's roar, to speak. Her words are translated in parenthesis.


Tsukihime

In both Shirou and Rin's routes, Shinji appears as the tutorial character. He admits he was originally planned to be the boss character “General Shinji” but for various reasons was demoted to the tutorial punching bag.

In both routes, G-SAKURA squashes General Shinji upon awakening. In Rin's route, Cosmic General Shinji (シンジ宇宙将軍, Shinji Uchū Shōgun ? ) was re-modeled to have an evolved IQ of 5800 and he intentionally arrived late to take advantage of Rin and G-SAKURA fatigue after they fought amongst themselves.

In Rin's ending, he wants to trade some rare servants with her, but they're stopped by Bazett .


Tsukihime

Tsunokuma bears a strong resemblance to the protagonist of another Fate series, appearing somewhat generic with a mop of brown hair and tired expression.

In Fate/strange Fake , he is mentioned by Ayaka Sajyou as being one of her friends in Fuyuki , and the people who taught her that she was "Ayaka Sajyou". [1] He and Gai Gotou appeared in Ayaka's flashback When Fillia unlocked Ayaka's suppressed memories, she remembered more details from their meeting. Tsunokuma and Gai Gotou met her wandering around looking lost, where, while blurry from sleep, he could still see through her. He mumbled that she resembled the real Ayaka , ignoring her hair color, and did not think she was the other Ayaka. He commented that she might have lost her memory and thought they should take her to the hospital, but she rushed out before they could. [2]


Tsukihime

He, along with Rin, are the two main protagonists that the player can choose. A young Shirou journeys throughout the game encountering and defeating several masters and their arsenals of Capsule Servants.

While trying to explain her identity, Shirou points out that she quoted Napoleon , irritating her further.

Shirou and TOHSAKA ending.

She is later adopted by Taiga and raised as Caren Fujimura alongside Shirou.


Tsukihime

Although Space Ishtar is 24 years old, [5] she actually looks younger than her regular counterpart . [7] This is because servants stop aging when they are in the prime of their lives. In her case, fourteen, the age at which she left her home. [5]

Avenger Stage 2 in Fate/Grand Order , illustrated by Shidzuki Morii . Avenger Stage 2 in Fate/Grand Order , illustrated by Shidzuki Morii . Space Ishtar (Young) in Fate/Grand Order , illustrated by Shidzuki Morii . Avenger's April Fools' Day in Fate/Grand Order , illustrated by Riyo .

Space Ishtar is the "tomboy" aspect of Ishtar Ashtart . An outlaw, but a heroine of justice nevertheless. She's in a weird position where she plays with villainous tactics, but what she does is for the people. Her alignment is Evil because she perceives herself as a threat to humanity, but that doesn't mean she's wicked or evil. Her personality is pretty much the same as the Pan-Human Ishtar, except she would never thoughtlessly toy with others. She triumphantly acknowledges a person's good deeds as righteous, and rejoices inside. And the person's bad deeds are acknowledged as terrible, and met with hostile glares and unreserved insults. (And if the person in question is a scoundrel, she will mercilessly exploit their property, life and fate.) [2]
S.Ishtar has the same foolhardy personality as Ishtar and despises the human society's harshness and shallowness, but despite all this, she is relatively concerned about the people's lifestyles, and takes virtuous humans relatively seriously to heart, leading her to ultimately prioritizing everyone's victory over her own reward... a trend very unbecoming of an Ishtar. [2]
Take the Summer Race situation for example. Ishtar tried to sacrifice those around her to revive Gugalanna in order to restore her rights, but if it were S.Ishtar, she would realize her mistake at the last minute, destroy Gugalanna by her own hand and distribute its resources among the participants. "I'm going bonkers thinking about how much of a missed opportunity this was, but I just felt like this was the right thing to do! Y'know, I can't lie to myself, can I?" As you can see, she's basically Ishtar, but she'll never stay an enemy of humanity in the late game. [2]
Her attitude towards her master, Ritsuka Fujimaru is one of curiosity, interest, and fondness. She assumes all humans are weak, however, their ability to understand and learn about Servants piques her interest. While she does not respect her master, they are still very important to her. Despite the differences in their universes and her own self-deception, she cannot help but develop feelings for them. [3]

Relationships [ ]

Calamity Jane "Even Jane got summoned here. Uh-huh. What? You have a thing for older women or something?" [1] Her partner who stayed with her through thick and thin. Her family that she can rely on the most in the universe, but also the troublemaker she can trust the least in the universe. [3]

Mysterious Heroine X "Are my eyes playing tricks on me? I thought I saw a killer wearing a blue tracksuit and a blue hat pass by... Huh? She really is here? And she's been here since the beginning!? I see... So she was the cause of everything... I guess when the world around you expands, things like that can happen..." [1] A reliable comrade she got to know as a bounty hunter. She doesn't know anything about her other than that. [3]

Mysterious Heroine XX The demon-like OL that taught S.Ishtar a lesson on several occasions, after she got carried away from her goddess powers in the "Galactic 3 Goddess Alliance" volume. She doesn't know anything about her other than that. [3]

Ishtar (Swimsuit) "I'm not interested in the me in this universe, but THAT Servant's an exception! Who, you ask? I'm talking about Rider Ishtar. If only my spaceship was as cute as hers!" [1]


Tsukihime

In her first two ascensions, Bunyan is accompanied by Mike Fink . In her third ascension, she is accompanied by Rider and Assassin in her younger form. Underneath the hat she always wears are rabbit-like ears.
If she goes a while without wearing her hat, antlers like that of a deer will start to grow on both sides of her temples. She doesn't know why this happens, and she doesn't want people to talk about it so she rarely takes of her hat. For some reason she doesn't like to expose her hands and feet so she's always wearing gloves.
When she reaches her third ascension, she becomes the President of her dreams but in exchange her Spirit Origin will return to that of a child so, her power remains the same. However, due to the pressure of her duties her stress has increased. [1]

She is always on the lookout for "delightful companions" who will like and work for her and to that end has become a video streaming idol. She thought that it would be easier than serious manual labor but it was a job that required more attention to detail than she ever imagined causing her even more stress. In order to gain support she is careful to conduct herself in a cordial manner as a lovely character.
Paul Bunyan, the pioneer leader who achieved the "great feat" has a tendency to pursue usefulness and rationality a bit too much (like the original Bunyan she believes that she has to be useful to be allowed to exist and has come to demand the same of the people around her). While she wants to get along with her colleagues and to be loved by everyone she thinks about her relationships with others in a calculating way which results in her words and actions seeming thoughtless.
On the other hand unlike the original Bunyan she isn't solely focused on pioneering but believes that harmony with nature is necessary for the happiness of all humanity (this is thought to be due to syncretism and the influence of the Native American Heroic Spirits assimilated into her Spirit Origin as her words contains knowledge derived from the Native Americans that Bunyan would not have known about). She doesn't want to think about the contraction in her pioneer nature. [1]

Relationships [ ]

Paul Bunyan "Original Bunyan... Was I really that innocent back then...? Ugh, I can't even look at her. She's so young, so childish... And why's she taller than me!?" [2] " Bunyan : In the end, I wound up the same age as the original Bunyan... Does that mean we're twins? But I'm more headstrong than her, so I'm the older sister! I'm going to take the top bunk!" [2] "She's so innocent, it's hard to watch. I don't think she has to try that hard and I don't want her to have a troubled childhood like I did." [1] Calamity Jane "What? Calamity Jane? Hold on...cuz I remember Jane being more... Did she always dress so scantily!?" [2] The Calamity Jane of Proper Human History was a friend of hers and apparently didn't dress in such revealing clothes. [1] Thomas Edison " Bunyan : That lion person's president too? Hm. I don't know what it is, but when I see him, this indescribable feeling of anger starts to bubble up inside me... Something inside me is whispering to get revenge on him... Is this coming from Rider?" [2] Fuma Kotaro / Katou Danzou "Evil Wind!? ...I get it." [2] "Evil Wind is such a cool name...." [1] Mike Fink A legendary shipwright who was active at the same time as Bunyan. He is infamous for his many tales of unprincipled bravery. He is now a mute crocodile (not exactly a crocodile, but apparently a misipeshu, a monster of folklore), perhaps due to his bad behavior during his lifetime. It is unknown if he still has any self awareness as Mike. Banyan hated Mike when he was alive, but now calls him Mikey and loves him as a pet. [1] Nanabozho WP A hero/trickster mentioned in the mythology of the indigenous peoples of northern North America, mainly the Ojipwa. Super Bunyan's knowledge of the indigenous people and her special appearance are derived from this heroic spirit. In order to fulfill his own wish he snuck into Bunyan's Spirit Origin and uses it to manifest. Nanabozho eroded and completely devoured Bunyan's soul faster than they could be incorporated as part of Bunyan. The shape shifter Nanabozho mimicked Super Bunyan's soul in order to keep his existence a secret. The result is a perfect copy of Super Bunyan's personality unaware that's it's a fake and that it's real self has long since been devoured by Nanabozho. They had planned to masquerade as Super Bunyan for a while and then reveal themselves when the time was right, however the personality of Super Bunyan which they had copied had a strong teenage ego and stronger self interest than expected and so their self awareness was sealed deep inside her psyche. Nanabozho's self awareness has been completed sealed and the only knowledge of their existence is in a disoriented state within Super Bunyan. When Super Bunyan who is still soul searching one day comes to terms with herself, the world and finally finds peace of mind the sealed personality of Nanabozho will resurface, break the mimicry and take over the Spirit Origin. And then Super Bunyan's personality will disappear without a trace. [1] Glasses Wearing Servants "I knew it. Everyone who looks smart wears glasses. I'm so glad I came out wearing mine." [2] Children Servants " Bunyan : I-I'm not a child, so I don't play with the kiddos! I was playing with them for THEIR sake!" [2]


Tsukihime

At 212 cm tall, Iskandar is well-built and rather imposing. His red hair is always loose and unstyled while his beard is well kempt. He wears glasses, a red flannel shirt with ripped sleeves, a white undershirt, black fingerless gloves, light jeans, and red slippers. He carries with him a red backpack which seems to contain rolled up posters.

Though initially shy and socially awkward, Iskandar is kind and sincere. He finds himself stressing over what gift to give to Waver, showing that he feels very honest and serious about his feelings. When Waver later emails him to thank him and shows interest to meet up again, he is overjoyed.

Tsukimonogatari

Since Black Hanekawa is simply the sawarineko assuming control of Tsubasa's body, she mostly acquires Tsubasa's physical traits: long hair, a voluptuous figure and a pair of plump breasts. However, the sawarineko changes some aspects of Tsubasa's appearance, changing her hair color to a silvery white, her eyes into a golden hue with slit pupils, a pair of cat ears, and a paler complexion.
Black Hanekawa appears to prefer being scantily clothed, and is often seen wearing the underwear Tsubasa wore before the sawarineko took over.

Unlike Tsubasa, who is soft-spoken and has a reserved personality, Black Hanekawa possesses a completely different personality. She is playful and talkative, her words often laced with the sounds a cat often makes (particularly "nya "), and is sharp-tongued and blunt when talking to someone. However, she also has a more brutal side which, when combined with her superhuman strength and her distracting choice of clothing, makes her a rather frustrating and difficult opponent to face. She is also known to be a manipulative mind, faking death to attract its next victim. This manipulative character was further strengthened by Tsubasa's knowledge, which she was able to gain access to.
Surprisingly, the sawarineko which takes over Tsubasa's body has developed a degree of responsibility over Tsubasa, and has revealed that she "is inclined to help her" after understanding Tsubasa's problems at home. This implies a strong bond between Tsubasa, who was revealed to actually permit the sawarineko possessing her body, and the sawarineko , who has gained a vast amount of knowledge due to taking over Tsubasa's body, something which is completely unheard of when it comes to encounters with a sawarineko , which is known for its ruthlessness to its victims.


Tsukimonogatari

Kaiki is a tall middle aged and pale man with a very gloomy and dark appearance. He is often seen wearing a funeral suit with a red club over the knot of his rather loose necktie. He has an unsmiling face with eyes that either appear indifferent or piercing. His hair is worn back with two bangs hanging down and trying to reach the bridge of his nose. In Koimonogatari he is shown having a cold shower to make his skin deathly blue-pale.
In most of Koimonogatari , he wears a typical trench coat with his hair down short and shaggy.
In Hanamonogatari , he goes back to his typical hair, but this time with a neatly trimmed goatee-beard combo and glasses.

Designs for Nisemonogatari Designs for Koimonogatari Designs for Hanamonogatari

Kaiki has a very gloomy personality and subscribes to the view that there is nothing in the world that is inherently true. The only absolute in life for him is money, as it is replaceable and can replace any thing. A schemer at heart, Kaiki has an opaque mind to outsiders. He is fluent in the arts of lying and subterfuge, so his reasoning behind what he says is constantly blurred. He explains his name as "Kai" like a mound of clam shells, and "Ki" like a dead tree.
Kaiki is an individual who prides himself in having no pride. He openly admits to being a conman and an impostor amongst other things. But this is to his advantage as someone who deceives with wordplay extremely well. His interactions with others are very fluid, and he is willing to give and take in order to maximize the outcome, or cut his losses, in his favor.
In Koimonogatari , much more of his character is revealed, especially his own thought process. He keeps his promises despite his lying nature, and has an unexpected system of morals that he adheres to - but only if motivated to do so because he must personally benefit from the situation. Kaiki seems to take warnings or "pieces of advice" as challenges, such as when Gaen and an unknown messenger (later revealed to be Senjougahara) had told him to "pull out" of his current job. Senjougahara explained to him afterwards that she had purposefully did it to motivate him. Kaiki's narration throughout the arc reveals he has a more realistic perspective than the other characters, being very observant about the strangeness of situations around himself.
Despite the fact that he is very scheming, he seems to miss obvious conclusions. When he found the letter in his hotel room, he assumed that some third party (that wasn't Gaen or Senjougahara) had found a way to get in, but it was pointed out by Senjougahara that it could be as simple as throwing the envelope under the door. When trying to deceive Nadeko, he came up with the simple scheme of earning her trust so he can tell her that Araragi and co. were in a traffic accident so that she wouldn't kill them. It is worth mentioning that Kaiki already knew Araragi is almost immortal; and Nadeko had beaten him within an inch of his life many times within a short period, so she would have some idea of how much punishment his body can actually take, making something like a traffic accident seem less than lethal. During a discussion with Hanekawa, she described Nadeko as "snubbing everyone out", never letting others get close to her. Kaiki didn't change his plan despite knowing that she had never trusted others, and subsequently failed at deceiving her.


Tsukimonogatari

Dramaturgy appears as a giant man with a height over two meters. His common expression depicts him with a very stern, serious look. He can transform his arms into giant wavy-shaped blades which he uses in combat. His ears are pointed, a common characteristic of vampires. In order to hold down his messy hair, he wears a headband. His eyebrows make a unique "Y" shape that nearly touch his sideburns.

Dramaturgy has a very calm personality despite his appearance. He even invited Koyomi to become one of his brethren instead of fighting him.


Tsukimonogatari

Episode has blonde hair of medium length and not too neatly combed, as well as have sanpaku eyes. Art in the manga adaptation depicts him with white hair. He wears a white uniform and wields a giant cross as a weapon.
Despite his appearance, he claims to be six. He's likely gotten an abnormal maturity growth from his parent vampire, which led him to look like a teenager despite being a six year old child.
Designs for Nekomonogatari White Designs for Kizumonogatari

Episode is aggressive and arrogant, and as a half-vampire he is openly disgusted by vampires and references to his other prey as: "those who think if they have the powers of mosquitoes, then they are invincible". Shinobu Oshino states half-vampires do not belong anywhere, and consequently hate both humans and vampires. His catchphrase seems to be: "That's hilarious." In the English translation of Kizumonogatari , he says "Gotta love it."


Tsukimonogatari

Koyomi Araragi describes him as a standard man with hedgehog hair. He always keeps one eye closed and is seen wearing a priest robe with a red scarf around his neck. He does not have any weapon.
Despite being the only vampire hunter out of the three that is not a vampire himself, he has pointy, elf-like ears, a characteristic typically found in vampires and other humanoid oddities like Yotsugi Ononoki .

Designs for Kizumonogatari

Guillotine Cutter denies and eliminates the existence of oddities . Koyomi describes him as a calm but dangerous person. While the only of the three vampire hunters that is not a vampire himself, Guillotine Cutter is not an average human as he was able to take both of Kiss-shot's arms.
He refers to himself as God and will stop at nothing to accomplish his goals.


Tsukimonogatari

Hitagi is a beautiful girl with long purple hair (dark brown in light novel artwork), blue eyes and a glamorous figure, although she is also considered a "frail" girl due to her lack of participation in school activities.
She wears the Naoetsu Private High School uniform the usual way while wearing black thigh-highs and can be seen wearing dresses or similar clothing that cover up to her knees when outside of school.
In later events, she has the sleeves of her uniform rolled up and pinned in place, turning her uniform into a sleeveless blouse and has short hair.

Designs for Bakemonogatari Designs for Koimonogatari Designs for Tsukimonogatari Designs for Owarimonogatari 2 Designs for Zoku Owarimonogatari

Hitagi possesses a sharp tongue and can be quite blunt when speaking to others and while doing so she keeps a straight face making her seem quite frightening. This trait of hers makes interacting with her a challenging task, if not impossible, and is something that Araragi discovers first-hand. In spite of this, she is sincere in everything that she says.
She calls herself a tsundere (though she is more of a kuudere) and has some understanding of otaku culture, as she once mentions how "moe" Meme's name was to Araragi. She claims that due to her "high strung" nature she is generally a light sleeper. She also seems to have an aversion to kids. She used to have a habit of threatening others, especially Araragi, by using stationary supplies as weapons when feeling endangered or jealous, although grew out of it later on in the series.
After the events in Tsukihi Phoenix , she overcame all of her trauma and finally became a completely normal and cheerful girl, chuckling at small things although her sharp tongue is still present, only toned down. Hitagi further appears to be knowledgeable about astronomy, as seen during her dates with Araragi.


Tsukimonogatari

The appearance of Hitagi's father is often depicted as partially obscured, preventing his face from being fully shown. What is known is that he is a middle-aged man with a raspy voice and short gray hair smoothly slicked back. Because of his job as a salaryman, he is dressed in a black business suit.

Despite being taciturn, Hitagi's father is kind-hearted and his affection for Hitagi as a daughter motivates him to continue working in the absence of her mother. Despite this, he trusts Koyomi in making sure that Hitagi is safe as he is unable to spend time with her often.


Tsukimonogatari

Izuko is a middle-aged woman with wavy long brown hair and orange eyes. Her outfit is reminiscent of hip hop fashion with a bright color scheme, consisting of a loose light green shirt over a black sweatshirt, loose maroon pants and running shoes. She wears a white baseball cap with a light green rim, and among her accessories include a smiley necklace and a pair of orange headphones hanging on her neck.
For some reason, where ever Gaen appears, a swirl of rainbow clouds can be seen in the background.

Designs for Nekomonogatari White

Despite her looks, Izuko is actually a very knowledgeable person when it comes to the supernatural. She also apparently knows some facts about Koyomi Araragi and Tsubasa Hanekawa and is updated in current events. In fact, she boasts about her wealth of knowledge frequently, to the point of adapting the catchphrase, "There is nothing that I don't know. I know everything," which is a stark contrast to Tsubasa's catchphrase.
Although the credibility of her claims over "knowing everything" may be debatable, it can be argued that she is good in taking advantage of what she knows and what other people do not know, allowing her to break down a person's confidence, like Tsubasa's confidence in her knowledge, for example.


Tsukimonogatari

Despite being younger, Karen is taller than Koyomi — a fact that often dismays him — and is the tallest of the three siblings at 170cm (5'7"). Karen ties her black hair into a ponytail on the right side of her head and uses a similar hair accessory as her sister (both their accessories have a sunny side-up egg design). She also has dark gray irises like her siblings.
Reflecting her tomboyish lifestyle and energetic personality, Karen's outfit consists of a yellow hoodie and pants, a black tank top, red socks and white running shoes.
Designs for Nisemonogatari Designs for Zoku Owarimonogatari

Befitting her name, Karen is a hot-blooded girl who acts as if she is a superhero who has the duty of protecting others from danger. When she was in elementary school some of Koyomi's thoughtless words nearly drove her to commit suicide. It was then that she started becoming an ally of justice. She states that it was Koyomi who created the "hatred of evil in her heart". She likes to imitate characters from various tokusatsu live action series like Dekaranger . Fortunately, she manages to pull it off due to her flexibility and quick reflexes, which are a product of her constant exercise and training, which involves practicing karate and capoeira, among other martial arts.
Her personality often collides with Koyomi's more laid back personality more recently, especially since Koyomi has developed a certain degree of anxiety over his sisters' safety due to his experiences with the supernatural. In fact, he has called Karen's habit of acting like a superhero alongside her sister a "travesty". Along with her sister, Karen does not believe in the supernatural. At times, she acts like a bit of an air-head.


Tsukimonogatari

In the adaptations that depict him, Koyomi is shown to be a young man with black hair, grey eyes, and a medium complexion. His hair commonly covers his left eye, though it covers his right in the Kizumonogatari films. After Koyomi Vamp , he decides he should grow out his hair more to hide the bite marks on his neck. While it doesn't always seem entirely consistent, his hair does generally seem to get longer over the course of the chronological order in the anime adaptation, with Bakemonogatari featuring relatively short hair, Tsukimonogatari with slightly longer hair, and Shinobumonogatari with long hair.
If not wearing his school uniform, he dresses casually, often clad in a hoodie and jeans. As noted by his sisters, his fashion sense is far from admirable. A feature unique to Koyomi and his sisters is a very expressive ahoge, which often changes shape to mirror his emotions. Earlier concept art by VOFAN did not originally have this feature.
He's quite physically fit as a result of becoming a vampire, though it's normally only noticeable when he doesn't wear a shirt. Especially in the novels, he's considered to be somewhat short. Hitagi is slightly taller than him, something novel Koyomi stated he was worried people would see in the anime adaptation, though they're often depicted as having about the same height. He's still a bit taller than Tsubasa . He's notably shorter than his little sister Karen , though she's considerably tall for her age.

Designs for Hanamonogatari Designs for Tsukimonogatari Child designs for Owarimonogatari Designs for Kizumonogatari Designs for Owarimonogatari 2 Designs for Zoku Owarimonogatari

Koyomi is a laid-back individual. Prior to his experience during his last spring break where he met Tsubasa Hanekawa , he was rather asocial in high school, claiming that having friends would "lower his integrity as a human," due to a negative experience during his first year. This ideology seems to have multiple implications, as his explanations seem to change slightly in different instances. In Koyomi Vamp , he describes it as an idea that being close to others could ultimately harm him. If his friends got hurt, he would also be hurt. It gives a person more weak points. In Ougi Formula, which describes the scenario that birthed this expression, explains it in a slightly different way. Instead, it shows how he found disturbance in the fact that a "truth" can be made just by numbers. Something doesn't have to actually be true, but if a majority of people say it is, it's treated as such. He has his own sense of what's right, and doesn't want to be a part of the "majority rule" in deciding justice. In either instance, both explanations support isolation and the idea that he would be stronger as a person if he was alone.
His experience with Hanekawa caused him to open up and be more open to making friends. He's a poor academic student, close to failing every class except math. At home, Koyomi is the only person who thinks that his family relationship is bad, while his younger sisters, Karen Araragi and Tsukihi Araragi , believe differently.
It is revealed through conversations that he's quite knowledgeable on anime as noted by Nadeko Sengoku , who appears to be a bit of a closet otaku. Other characters, Mayoi Hachikuji and Hitagi Senjougahara especially, seem to speculate that Koyomi is a lolicon .
Koyomi has a desire to help those around him and believes strongly in taking responsibility for personal matters that he could have helped despite not being any of his business. This desire causes him to behave recklessly or abuse his regeneration powers when faced with dangerous situations. Koyomi's desire to help is often portrayed as his own selfish desire and seen by those around him as being too soft towards other people.


Tsukimonogatari

Mayoi is a young girl with long black hair and dark red eyes. Her hair is tied into pigtails and she wears a white headband with a white swirl on each end. Her outfit resembles an elementary school uniform: a white blouse with two straps connected to a dark blue skirt; white socks; and pink shoes.
One distinguishing part of Mayoi's overall look is the large pink backpack she always carries on her back. It is an unusual piece of baggage which looks like a large chick, containing different things such as large paw and several small plush dolls. Araragi once noted that Mayoi looks different if she takes off the backpack, as if a snail was turned into a slug.

Designs for Bakemonogatari Designs for Zoku Owarimonogatari

Befitting her age, Mayoi is cheerful, energetic and inquisitive. She makes a lot of spelling mistakes and has a habit of mispronouncing Koyomi's family name. In the end, it is revealed that she purposely mispronouncing it. On the other hand, she does not easily trust strangers, and will even fight back against them if they become too nosy. This cold nature towards strangers was later revealed to be intentional, as she was trying to discourage people from following her and becoming lost. She also shows a timid side around people whom she finds frightening (e.g. Hitagi, who admitted her dislike for younger girls). Although, she overcame her timidness after becoming a god, being able to casually greet and talk to the death-prepared, death-inevitable, death-certain vampire, Deathtopia Virtuoso Suicidemaster who was even tempted to kill and devour her, prompting the vampire to think “this girl didn’t even fear gods—though she herself was a god”.
On the other hand, despite her 11-year-old appearance, Mayoi frequently shows moments of maturity, especially when listening to Koyomi's problems and dealing with things that are difficult for people of her age.


Tsukimonogatari

Meme is a man with a lanky physique, short hair dyed blond and yellow eyes. He keeps his hair in an unruly fashion (although he sweeps it back when he performs Shinto ceremonies) and has a pair of sideburns and a goatee. His outfit consists of a pink aloha shirt left unbuttoned, a pair of dark-colored cargo shorts and black sandals that resemble the Japanese geta . Meme's notable accessories include an earring on his right ear and a necklace, both having an inverted cross on them.
Meme's overall looks give off an eccentric feel to people he interacts with, and even Koyomi calls him a "psychedelic aloha guy" because of this.
Meme is often seen with a cigarette in his mouth, although it is never lit.

Designs for Bakemonogatari Designs for Kizumonogatari

Meme's personality is quite laid-back and can be somewhat eccentric. Along with his unusual fashion sense, his current residence gives off the feeling that he is not a normal guy like most people.
As someone who is involved with the paranormal, he prefers to keep himself from directly meddling with affairs involving oddities, though he has the strength to do so if need be. He generally prefers to help out, but only if the person themselves is willing to exert effort towards returning to normal. However, putting aside his financial priorities, he can be well-trusted in supernatural affairs, with his knowledge that is useful in handling cases related to oddities.


Tsukimonogatari

In the anime adaptation, Meniko has blue eyes, slightly curled violet blueish hair of medium length and glasses. Slightly small in stature, she stands a bit shorter than Koyomi.

Design for Shinobumonogatari

Meniko is an eccentric mathematics student majoring in cryptography.  She is another one of the few friends of Koyomi's with no known attachment to oddities . Koyomi describes her as "a bit of an oddball, though not as odd as him."
She often refers to him as "Araragi-chan" and greets him with a Spanish hello: " Hola ." She has trouble breaking from her schedule, so she'll regularly attend class by herself even if it was canceled. This habit of hers is what lead to her meeting Koyomi for the first time.


Tsukimonogatari

Nadeko is a young girl with dark brown hair (black in the novels) and chocolate brown eyes. She is 153 cm(5'0") and her weight is around 38 kg. During the times when she was still cursed by the jagirinawa , her outfit consisted of a waist pouch, an orange newsboy cap , a pink blouse, an orange jacket and a pair of baggy denims — all of which were designed to hide the scars that covered her body. She also always casts her eyes downward, with long fringes covering her eyes. It can be assumed that her newsboy cap represents the "snake" that cursed her, as its shape resembles a snake's head.
She later changes her to a more comfortable set of clothes after being relieved of the curse, and she shows a preference to wearing skirts.
Later in the series, she cuts her hair short.

Designs for Bakemonogatari Designs for Otorimonogatari Designs for Owarimonogatari 2 Nisioisin is quoted as saying "She is an uglier character than we've ever had" Designs for Zoku Owarimonogatari

Nadeko has a shy personality, and can be easily amused. She's quite protective of her hair (particularly her forelocks) thinking that it's her place to guard more than her panties. She often looks at the floor during conversations with anyone. She commonly refers to herself in the first person, often considered a child-like tendency in Japanese. In combination with this, she also uses a lower case "i" as her first person pronoun in the English localization to emphasize her childish way of speaking.
Nadeko hates the feeling of direct physical contact with other people, specifically the feeling of transmitting heat, even from her own parents.
She develops a dependence towards Koyomi (whom she calls "Koyomi-onii-chan") which slowly intensified as the events relating to the snake curse puts a pressure on her.


Tsukimonogatari

Ougi has short black hair, large black irises, and pale white skin. Their most common outfit is a female uniform with long sleeves that hide their hands constantly. Because their irises are drawn black, their pupils are never seen. Ougi can be seen wearing black gloves when their hands are showing.
In Hanamonogatari , Ougi switches to a male school uniform.
It's worth noting that while light novel artwork sometimes depicts Ougi in different clothing such as a black dress, they have only ever been seen wearing school uniforms in the anime adaptation.

Designs for Kabukimonogatari Designs for Hanamonogatari Designs for Zoku Owarimonogatari

Ougi often comes off as very mysterious, typically looming in the background of most events and only appearing near the beginning, end, or climax of major story arcs. They're rarely ever not smiling and always talk in a somewhat condescending tone.
Especially upon first meeting him, Ougi seems to take an obsessive interest in helping Koyomi Araragi , much to his friends' suspicion. In the first volume of Owarimonogatari, Koyomi claims that Ougi somehow causes him to blurt out things without hesitation. He's also commented on them knowing things he's never told them.
Ougi claims to have a job of "punishing liars," and the execution of this claim implies it is connected to oddites .
As a "conventional monster," Ougi is an entity which exists solely on lying about its identity. Because they sprung from the subconscious guilt of Koyomi Araragi, their personality is designed to "punish" him with criticism, condescension, and various other personal attacks. Ougi has displayed a particular desire to maintain the illusion that they are the apparition-killing "Darkness," which lends credence to their claim that they "punish liars." Up until the conclusion of "Ougi Dark," Ougi's motivation is to sabotage and destroy the hypocritical aspects of Koyomi Araragi's personality, allowing his existence to become more "right."


Tsukimonogatari

Rouka is a girl of high-school age, with light brown hair and eyes. Her wavy hair is left unkempt, flows to her shoulders, and has a pair of locks that curl inwards from the back of her head, resembling a devil's horns.

Designs for Hanamonogatari

Because of her background, Rouka develops an obsession with misfortune, even at a young age. As a grade school pupil, she often puts herself in a pedestal by comparing her talent with the misfortune of others. However, after her life-changing injury, this eventually motivates her to collect the misfortunes of other people, justifying it as a way to ascertain that other people are more unfortunate than her. [1]


Tsukimonogatari

Mr. Sasayabu bears the appearance of a typical school teacher. He wears a brown blazer over a white dress shirt, as well as brown slacks, black shoes and a bolo tie. He usually holds a small black folder, possibly to hold important documents related to his occupation.
Interestingly, while character designs depict Sasayabu's face, his full face is never shown in the anime adaptation.

Soft-spoken and somewhat kind-hearted, Mr. Sasayabu tends to worry about his class, and especially its representative Nadeko. He often spends his time asking Nadeko about the affairs of the class for this reason. Ironically, his tendency to rely too much on Nadeko implies that he does not want to deal with the problems of Class 2-2 directly.


Tsukimonogatari

While most usually shown in a full set of samurai armor that covers his entire body, his true appearance underneath depicts a pale skin man with pointy elf-like ears and long, black hair. He wears a formal, black suit.
Like his former master, he seems to take the form of different ages depending on how much he has revived. In Shinobu Mail , he takes the form of a small child when he first meets Koyomi Araragi outside his samurai armor.

Seishirou was originally a Japanese warrior known for his ability to kill oddities by using the swords Kokorowatari and Yumewatari . During his travels, he met Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade, who assumed the role of the local god in a village in Japan, and began visiting her on occasion, although Seishirou did not show any aggression towards the vampire. Kiss-shot's presence soon took the attention of the entity later identified as Kurayami , and despite their combined efforts to stave off the effects of the Kurayami in the village, the entity continued its rampage, consuming the inhabitants of the village and Seishirou in the process.
Kiss-shot managed to escape with Seishirou's disembodied hand, which was all that remained of the warrior, and used this to revive him as a vampire, turning him into the first minion of the King of Oddities. This fate was gravely rejected by Seishirou, and he leapt into the sunlight soon after his revival, cursing Kiss-shot as well as saying her name for the first time as he turned to ash. Among the things that he left behind after his suicide was a replica of the Kokorowatari made from his own flesh, which remained in Kiss-shot's possession.
He was reincarnated fifteen years prior to the beginning of the series, four-hundred years after his first suicide attempt.


Tsukimonogatari

Higasa is a teenage girl with short, black hair and purple eyes. She wears the standard Naoetsu Private High School female uniform.

She appears to be very blunt as she calls Suruga an idiot for having bad grades much to her shock.


Tsukimonogatari

Shinobu is a young female with yellow eyes, pointy ears, sharp fangs, and very long blond hair which curls outward at the end. During the course of the series, she takes on several changes in appearance depending on how much of her vampire powers she possesses. Through most of the series, she assumes a younger form as an eight year old. She wears a loose white dress and a pair of sandals, with an aviator hat as an accessory in Bakemonogatari . Later on in the series, her eight-year old form occasionally wears dresses of other colors.
As demonstrated in Nisemonogatari , she can suck blood to become older; she appears as a girl in her adolescent years, tying her hair into a ponytail and wearing a black camisole inside a purple jacket, a black skirt and black hosiery. In Kizumonogatari , obtaining her stolen body parts causes her to age, along with gradually transforming her clothes into an appearance similar to her adult form. Her true form as Kiss-Shot depicts a woman in her late twenties wearing an old red and black dress.
The Bakemonogatari manga adaptation has Kiss-shot's appearance and clothes occasionally change in their designs throughout the story due to the manga's art style. The seventeen-year old form of Kiss-shot has two long ponytails and wears a black trenchcoat-like uniform. Her true adult form wears a revealing long black dress with bat ornaments. When Kiss-shot is fighting Koyomi in the Kizumonogatari arc of the manga, her dress transforms into black demonic armor with spikes and parts of her hair become long horns, later implied to be her vampire combat attire. A flashback of Kiss-shot from hundreds of years ago in the manga portrayed her once having much shorter hair, wearing a simple old-styled dark dress with a corset. It is unknown if the anime or light novel versions of Kiss-shot are able to have these appearances in her different forms.

After losing most of her vampire powers, Shinobu falls into a long period of stupor. She is frequently seen in Oshino's place with her hands tucking her knees in, her face always in an emotionless state. She often spends most of the day in one spot, doing mostly nothing with a bitter expression. Shinobu also does not talk to anyone, but she is familiar with Koyomi Araragi and Meme Oshino , and would follow requests from either of them.
Later she reverts back to her brighter personality after "reconciling" with Koyomi. She is rather talkative, and often asserts her superiority through her archaic speech. She mostly plays with Koyomi's tendency to act as the follower between the two. Sometime after Koyomi Vamp , she appears to find a liking to Mister Donuts and they become her obsession. She refers to herself using "washi" (ワシ), which is often used in fictional settings to represent characters of old age.
Shinobu holds affection for Koyomi stemming from him saving her in Koyomi Vamp. She is seen to show jealousy if he spends too much time around other girls or gets too close to those she does not like, notably Nadeko Sengoku. She is shown to be touched by Koyomi being willing to live and die with her, but as called out by Suruga Kanbaru, is initially unwilling to openly return the sentiment until months later in Ougi Dark . When her first minion Seishirou resurfaces, she is concerned that she might choose to return to Seishirou over Koyomi, still having some affection for him, but admits in the end that she wants to stay with Koyomi. Her liking for Koyomi leads to her desiring to restore their master-servant bond whenever it is broken, despite it restricting her abilities and movements.
Due to being around Meme for many hours while performing her silent treatment, she's obtained a bit of knowledge about different types of oddities , and often helps out Araragi in his time of need, but she still remains as no expert.
Shinobu very rarely refers to anyone by name, with Koyomi showing surprise that she called Tsukihi by hers in Tsukihi Phoenix. Instead she refers to most people by nicknames, such as calling Hitagi "tsundere girl".


Tsukimonogatari

Sodachi is a young female with long silver/grey hair, grey eyes and a pale complexion. She dresses in the typical Naoetsu Private High School uniform that Tsubasa Hanekawa and Hitagi Senjougahara also wear, and her hair into twintails. In Zoku Owarimonogatari , her Mirror World counterpart has shorter hair and is more cheerful.

Designs for Owarimonogatari Designs for Zoku Owarimonogatari

While initially introduced as a fairly intimidating person, the younger Sodachi that Koyomi once knew had shown a warm personality with a calmer demeanor.
During her years in high school, she's described as a girl who looks at others as if appraising them. Sodachi is a student with a strong sense of competitiveness. This is mainly the reason behind her more popular nickname, much to her chagrin. She loves mathematics and describes them as beautiful. Because of Koyomi's results in math, Sodachi often looks at him with a strong, almost psychotic feeling of hatred. [1]


Tsukimonogatari

Suruga is a girl with brown eyes and short dark bluish hair. Because of her club activities as a basketball varsity player, she boasts an athletic physique, although she admits that her breasts might not be ample enough for Araragi to notice.
Her clothing style reflects her boyish personality. When she is not in the uniform of Naoetsu Private High School , she often wears sleeveless clothing and shorts. Whichever clothes she wear, she is regularly seen wearing cycling shorts, which she considers to be her underwear, much to Araragi's shock upon hearing it straight from her (as it implies that she does not wear panties).

Designs for Bakemonogatari Designs for Hanamonogatari Designs for Zoku Owarimonogatari

She considers herself a lesbian, fujoshi , and masochist. Her hobbies include reading yaoi literature, running, and playing basketball. According to Tsubasa, Suruga's character is somewhat unsettling, describing her as "polite but inconsiderate". [2] She is shown to be quite sloppy when it comes to keeping her room clean and organized, relying on Koyomi to help her clean it on a regular basis. Despite her commonly immature nature, she shows a level-headed personality during serious situations.
When confronted by Rouka Numachi about the rumor of her being a lesbian, she confirms it, but claims she likes boys too. [3] Numachi suggests she's more into girls though, judging by the way she used to look at her teammates and opponents in basketball. Suruga denies ever looking at anyone in an unseemly way while playing, though realizes in her head that she isn't quite so sure herself. [4] In terms of boys, she hasn't shown much interest towards men around her other than a certain attraction towards Koyomi, often manifested in teasing or friendly flirting. Although she initially only tried to seduce him to divert his attention from Hitagi, they later became more friendly towards each other. In her conversation with Numachi, while she claims she hasn't thought much about what type of guy she'd like, she claims she likes them "on the small side and kind." As him being short is referenced a lot more in the novels, one might presume it could refer to Koyomi.
Hidden to many is her tendency to be jealous of others to the point of subconsciously wanting to harm to them. This would eventually fuel her killing intent as the Rainy Devil .


Tsukimonogatari

Tadatsuru is an adult male with pale skin, long, blue hair and a glowing aura around his body. He seems to commonly wear traditional white robes of some sort. In designing dolls of himself, he wears a white-collared long sleeve shirt with a large apron with dark colored slacks and shoes.

Designs for Tsukimonogatari Designs for Owarimonogatari

Tadatsuru was also involved in Izuko Gaen's group in college that included Meme Oshino , Yozuru Kagenui , and Deishuu Kaiki known as the Occult Research Club . Due to their different conflicting interests in oddities, Tadatsuru and Kagenui supposedly didn't get along well. After the group created the tsukomugami shikigami Yotsugi Ononoki with a human corpse, she chose Kagenui over him as her master causing a bitter rivalry between the two. Kagenui and Tadatsuru both have a curse which prevents them from touching the ground for the rest of their lives as some sort of punishment for "not knowing their place."
Tadatsuru split ties with Gaen's network to become a stray specialist and follow his own affairs. It's revealed that he had died years ago, trying to become an immortal oddity the same way as Yotsugi by using his own dead corpse. He failed, with his human self dying and going to the afterlife, but is still able to control puppets of himself that are in the real world.


Tsukimonogatari

Tooe is slightly older than her younger sister Izuko. The difference is through her shorter hair and brown eyes. Her daughter Suruga inherited the same brown eyes. Due to her death in the real world, her actual appearance is seen in the Mirror World where reality is inverted. She doesn't wear any form of clothing as she was mostly seen in the nude.

This section contains content from Hanamonogatari . In a dream, Tooe lectures her daughter for being weak. Asserting Suruga's life will be more aggravating than other people's she prays for Suruga learning to live for that aggravation. Tooe is aware of a curse from the moment people are born with. This curse also applies to her daughter. For Suruga, she can't grasp what her mother was trying to point out. [1] The reason behind it comes into play at her passing.
At the end of the arc Suruga communicates with her for once in a different dream. She listens to her daughter's encounter with an old friend despite her lack of enthusiasm. Tooe questions if Rouka Numachi was not medicine nor poison, and was water (more specifically muddy water), she asks Suruga to identify herself between the three based on the first conversation in the beginning. After Suruga acknowledging herself as a flash flood, she bids farewell in the afterlife. [2] [3]


Tsukimonogatari

Suicide-Master describes him as a blond haired, yellow eyed man with a nice face.

Despite once being one himself, Tropicalesque hates humans and considers it severely foolish to make light of them. While once an unquestionably loyal servant, Suicide-Master's ordeal with Acerola triggers a defiant side in him.


Tsukimonogatari

Tsubasa is a teenage girl with glasses, black hair, purple pupils, and a fair complexion. She is stated to be beautiful by Suruga Kanbaru , Hitagi Senjougahara , and Koyomi Araragi . She is almost always seen wearing her Naoetsu Private High School uniform, even outside of school days.
Chronologically early on in the series she wears glasses and her hair into braids. In Kizumonogatari , she has only one pony tail while in Nekomonogatari Black and Bakemonogatari , she ties them into two with a hair ribbon that has a cat design.
After the events of Tsubasa Cat , she allows Koyomi to cut her hair as a symbol of her growth (Koyomi secretly keeps her braids). She also begins wearing contact lenses instead of her usual pair of glasses. After the events in Tsubasa Tiger , her hair has silvery-white stripes, resembling a tiger's, although she commonly dyes her hair back to its normal color each morning.
As shown during her moments as Black Hanekawa, Tsubasa has a slim figure and is well-endowed. Koyomi once commented in Tsubasa Family that Tsubasa's breasts are "so appealing that one would want to cop a feel." Another interesting detail is her rather unique choice of underwear, which is often decorated with lace.

To most people she interacts with, Tsubasa is a soft-spoken girl with a kind heart and a positive personality. Her top grades make her a favorite of the teachers, while her approachable character makes admirers out of her classmates. Tsubasa is also a wealth of information due to her study habits, but keeps humble about it, always stating that "I don’t know everything, I just know what I know" to those who commend her knowledge (although it should be noted that she only says this to Koyomi as this catchphrase makes Koyomi happy). She is never seen angry, but even when she does get mad, she retains her positive appearance, and often resorts to scolding the offender like a teacher, only to show a smile afterwards. The only instance where she is seen with a genuiely angry expression is during Sodachi Lost , when she confronts the trickster Ougi Oshino .
However, those who are familiar with her true identity know that all of those are a facade that she shows to the public. The truth is that she often does things without the sentiment that comes along with it, and moves only through common sense. She also possesses a strong sense of righteousness that becomes a double-edged sword, to the point of interacting with her may cause oneself to notice one's imperfections.
In Tsubasa Tiger , her personality was described as "accepting whatever comes her way without any objections" [1] and "shunning all of her undesirable traits somewhere else" [2] . The latter was what caused the manifestation of Black Hanekawa and Kako, which symbolizes her stress and her envy and negative emotions, respectively.
Despite this, Koyomi stated that Hanekawa is the individual he respects the most. She is his first and best friend as well as his "savior" during Kizumonogatari , causing him to deify her as his "ideal girl."


Tsukimonogatari

Tsukihi appears to be a young girl in her early teens with black hair and dark gray irises. She wears a sunny side-up egg-shaped hair clip on the side of her hair like her older sister Karen, although Tsukihi has hers on her left side. Like the other Araragi siblings, she has an ahoge.
She also has a habit of changing her hairstyle constantly. Her wardrobe almost exclusively consists of bright-colored yukatas and kimonos which vary in length.

Unlike her sister Karen, she prefers doing indoor activities. Contrary to her personality, she is short-tempered to the point that Koyomi describes her as having hysteria. Rosokuzawa is mentioned to be Tsukihi's boyfriend by her brother, and she says she's in love with him but has a chaste relationship.
Despite being a member of the Fire Sisters, Tsukihi admits that she doesn't have the drive to do things like her older sister, although she says that she shares her siblings' belief in justice. [1] She's also a bit airheaded at times.
Also like her sister, she doesn't believe in oddities or the supernatural, despite being one herself.


Tsukimonogatari

Yotsugi looks like a 12 year old girl with turquoise hair, green eyes, pointy ears, and a strange orange hat with googly eyes. Her outfit consists of a frilly orange dress in varying shades of color, striped blue and grey stockings, and yellow boots.
In Nademonogatari , her hair was cut shorter after confronting God Nadeko. As a result of her clothes being cut up, she changes into a new outfit containing a yellow beanie (with her orange hat on top), green jacket, white shirt, and red pants. Afterwards, she returns to her original look.
As Tsukihi 's doll, she commonly wears a kimono, likely due to Tsukihi dressing her up to match her fashion sense.

Possibly due to the circumstances surrounding her creation, Yotsugi is seemingly void of any obvious personality traits. Her facial expression almost never changes from neutral and she speaks in a flat, monotone voice. Throughout the series she explores her identity by adopting various signature phrases and gestures. In her first appearance, she frequently ends statements with " Boku wa kimegao de sou itta ", roughly meaning "I said, with a posed look", notably using the masculine "boku wa" to refer to herself. She would later drop this phrase out of embarrassment and regret, indicating her ability to express such emotions in her own way. When Koyomi Araragi mentions the subject he is immediately hushed by her and told never to bring it up again. More explicitly implied in the novels, her fluctuating behavior is often attributed to her tenancy to be heavily influenced by those around her, much like other oddities.
She regularly retains a mannerism of referring to anyone as an older sibling, even in situations where she's technically older. She refers to Koyomi as " oni no onii-chan ", often translated as "devilish big brother" or "devil boy," referencing his relation to vampires since they're commonly considered to be demons. She has been shown to address Deishuu Kaiki as Kaiki - onii-chan as well, greeting him with a peace sign hand gesture and the words "yay" and "peace", much to his annoyance. She seems to keep the "yay peace peace" mannerism from then on.
Kagenui is the only person she calls her big sister without using it as an honorific (i.e. only Onee-chan as opposed to Yozuru-Onee-chan .) Kagenui has admitted there is some significance to this after Koyomi notices, but never explains what it is.
Despite appearing almost entirely stoic, she still has hinted at feeling genuine emotion past her facial expressions. She's mentioned how she considers Koyomi her friend on multiple occasions, such as when giving him advice "as a friend" as opposed to as an oddity specialist. She's also expressed how she wouldn't want to have to harm him despite needing to follow orders as a shikigami.  Yotsugi also often implies feelings of anger and audaciousness, especially towards Koyomi and Shinobu . In particular, she seems to hold a grudge against Shinobu, often calling her names and making fun of her old age. Through living in the Araragi household, she develops genuine contempt towards Tsukihi Araragi as well. Conversely, she comes to develop a fondness for Nadeko Sengoku , giving her nicknames and acting overtly friendly and supportive.
Yotsugi also has an appreciation for muscles.


Tsukimonogatari

Yozuru is a lady with black hair and red pupils. Her hair, which is styled in a bob cut, has red streaks on it, and is adorned with a bird-shaped hair clip. She is dressed in a khaki shirt worn over a black collared top, the latter of which is also decorated with the same bird design as in her hair clip, and wears a pair of dark red pants held in place by suspenders. Her footwear of choice is a pair of black high-heeled sandals.

Kagenui is a rather famous figure in the realm of the supernatural, to the point that Shinobu Oshino , herself a very powerful oddity, refused to divulge any information about her as a form of respect. She speaks in a Kansai dialect, and is described as having the expertise in the dialect as a native speaker. Yozuru also has an unusual quirk of avoiding to step on the ground, as if playing a game where the ground is a sea filled with sharks. She maintains this quirk at all times, and would even use her familiar Yotsugi Ononoki as a platform of sorts if needed. It is later revealed that she acts this way due to a curse.
She appears friendly to strangers, although she can be blunt when talking to oddities that are not part of her agenda. When it comes to her targets, however, she can be ruthless, attacking them without any regard for the chaos she would ensue.
Yozuru considers herself a paragon of justice, her ideology is based on exacting justice by eliminating those who should not exist (immortal oddities) and disregarding the consequences and doing such an act. To her, immortal oddities have no place in the world. Despite this, however, she has a considerate side as well, seeing people like Koyomi as a human despite having contact with an oddity. According to Koyomi himself, Yozuru reminds him of Meme somewhat.

Kako appears as a giant white tiger with red stripes and yellow eyes.


Tsukimonogatari

Kuchinawa is a giant red eyed semitransparent white snake with various kanji covering his body.
He is also able to alter his size and change shape to an extent, though he has only been turning himself into a bangle and decreasing in size to the size of a normal snake.

Shown in Otorimonogatari, Kuchinawa has a sarcastic and cynical personality, often playing a straight-man to Nadeko. He is arrogant, and has no qualms about taking advantage of Nadeko's guilt in order to find his body. Even so, he was shown to have a caring side, as he worried for Nadeko a few times.
In reality, Kuchinawa being an delusion of Nadeko's, his personality was entirely based on her image of what a god would be like. Once he was revived, he took Nadeko's imagined persona as his own and altered her appearance, once possessing her, to look similar to Nadeko's perception of the way he took shape physically.


Tsukipro

Ayumu is a man of average height with short dark blue hair thats wavy at the tips, with bangs framing his face as well as some falling between his eyes, with similarly colored eyes and long eyelashes.

Ayumu is a serious young man with a strong work ethic and incredible determination. He is brutally honest, and says whatever is on his mind. He is an introvert that gets exhausted after long periods of social interaction, and is bad at handling places with a lot of people around. Ayumu is easily flustered, which makes him the target of teasing by other members, especially Reiji .
Ayumu has a naturally weak constitution, and often overworks himself (although he is unaware of this), and can get frustrated when others don't seem to take things as seriously as him. He is insecure about his capabilities as an idol, and worries he will hold the unit back and not be able to keep up with him, but after  constant reassurance from his bandmates, he is steadily overcoming these challenges. [1]
Ayumu has a huge sweet tooth, and can eat several sweets in one sitting. He has a love for all types of sweets, even going so far as to memorize the sweets' wiki page descriptions word for word, and recite them. [2]
Despite being a bit of a tsundere, Ayumu has a soft spot for cute animals, especially cats. Around animals, he becomes much more gentle and relaxed. He is a good caretaker of Vazz and Rock, the dormitory cats, as well as house plants. [2]


Tsukipro

Dai is a relatively tall and well-built young man, with light blue hair styled to the right and similarly colored eyes. He also has a piercing in his right ear.

Despite his scary, fierce looks, Dai is actually a quiet, clumsy and straightforward individual. He seems to get flustered quite easily. Due to his past experiences with athletics, he addresses his seniors with a mix of formal and informal speech.


Tsukipro

Eichi is a relatively tall young man, with light brown colored somewhat wavy hair and bright green eyes. He sometimes has great difficulty with his hair's curliness, especially on rainy days it becomes unmanageable and messy. He has even expressed a desire to have straight, silky hair like Shu , though Shu has said he likes Eichi's hair how it is because of how soft it is. People are also sometimes surprised to learn that, due to all the physical work he did for his previous job, he has a six-pack. [2]


Tsukipro

Fumihiko is a tall man, with silvery gray hair and similarly colored eyes. He's almost always seen wearing a dark gray suit, paired with a striped blue tie and black glasses.


Tsukipro

Futaba is a tall young man with light yellow eyes and short, spiky light brown hair. Despite being brothers, he and Issa do not look particularly alike and don't seem to share any physical similarities.

Futaba is an optimistic man who dislikes conflict. He is his brother's keeper and tries to keep him satisfied and/or out of trouble. He is a bit of an airhead but possesses guardian-like skills (such as cooking and a strong will) . He often doesn't give himself as much credit as he deserves.
Futaba is a very nice young man with an equally caring personality. He is very understanding and generally tends to be a peacemaker when things in the unit go wild. He is very doting towards the younger members of the group, but is very respectful when it comes to his seniors. He is very helpful and will never turn a blind eye to those who need help especially if he knows he can offer assistance. Futaba is a very affectionate person, but isn’t afraid to be tenacious if necessary. [2] [3] [4]
Because he is the younger one out of the Kiduku brothers, he tends to spoil Nao and Yuma a lot and look over them as if they were his own younger brothers. [2] [5] Issa tends to bully him a lot, but Futaba assures that it’s normal for Issa to do and that he’s used to it. Even though he originally seemed like a simple yes-man towards Issa, Futaba knows how to stand up for himself—even disobeying Issa or straight up not listening to him. [3] [4]
He seems meek and timid, but he is very straightforward and can be blunt if he has to be. Other characters have mentioned that Futaba has a strong mentality and cannot be swayed easily when he sets his mind on something. He’s also the type who’s not easily embarrassed. [2] [6]
Despite his calm and reassuring attitude, there are a lot of times where Futaba feels insecure about work. He has consulted with senior members like Takaaki , Reiji , and Gaku regarding work. He is afraid of being a hindrance when it comes to official business, so as much as possible, he tries to do things in the best way he knows how. He has a very high sense of professionalism and perfectionism, but is still very humble and tries his best to learn more from his seniors. He doesn’t have much confidence in himself and believes that he hasn’t shown what he’s capable of yet. [7] [8]
He is a happy-go-lucky guy most of the time and one who is always smiling. He is very selfless and prioritizes others over himself.

Not much is known about Hikawa so far, including his appearance as no visuals for him have been released as of yet.

Since TOBARI joined with infinit0 to form pioniX , he and infinit0's manager, Kei Tsukiyama , take turns promoting and managing pioniX.


Tsukipro

Hinata is a man of average height, with dark sandy colored hair and similarly colored eyes. He has been noted to have a baby-face, looking no older than the idols he manages, when in reality he's already in his thirties. [1]

He has an energetic and passionate disposition to match his youthful appearance, however he also has a tendency to be restless with his work, but is known for being dependable when things get tough.
Hinata seems to be quite laidback in most of his interactions with the idols and other managers, but is shown to be a hard worker to the point of being trusted by the company president to fulfil certain vital roles.
He is also incredibly passionate about his family, often talking about how much he loves his wife, much to the disgust of some of the young idols under his management. [1]


Tsukipro

Hiro is a man of average height, with short dark gray/black hair and light magenta-colored eyes. Like the other managers working for TSUKINO, he is shown wearing a formal suit; his is patterned in a light gray plaid and paired with a dark blue tie with white spots on it.

He is a strange guy that is too nice to those around him. He always says sorry first, and often seems to be quite anxious, but is a very talkative man. He has a passion for being a manager and loves to take care of people.


Tsukipro

Ichiru is a young man of average height, with black hair with long bangs framing his face and dark blue eyes. He is distinguished from his twin, Issei , by the fact his bangs are swept to the left and he is typically seen smirking.


Tsukipro

Issa is a young man of average height with red eyes and collar length black hair, with long bangs on the left side of his face. He has a small mole under his right eye as well as four piercings in his right ear. He and his brother don't look particularly alike and do not share any physical similarities.

Issa is someone who is generally described as a person having an “ore-sama” personality but in truth, his personality is a lot more complex and deeper than he lets on. Though, in general, he has a hate-to-lose kind of personality and is proud of the skills that he possesses. [1] [2]
On the surface, he seems to be rough, sharp-tongued, and rude. While he does portray those aspects in his personality, he is also shown to be playful, caring, and even doting towards Yuma and Nao in some instances. He is also shown to be fond of Vazz , the cat that VAZZY’s taking care of and plays with him, too. [3]
He particularly likes tormenting his younger brother, Futaba, occasionally hitting him or smacking him. Issa’s used to getting his way by asking Futaba (rather forcefully) to do stuff for him, even calling him “manservant” at one point. [4] But, he’s not completely heartless as some people would assume. He just has a different way of showing affection, much to the chagrin of those on the receiving end. [1] [5]
Naosuke seems to have been weirdly attached to him and likes challenging him to “determine who’s the best” between them. Issa doesn’t acknowledge Naosuke or the challenge at first, saying that it’s annoying but, he eventually plays along. While he calls Naosuke “annoying”, “childish” , and “a brat” , he still showed great concern when Naosuke fell ill after waiting in the rain for Issa to return. He even smiles a bit when Naosuke called him “nii-san (big brother)” but he shrugs it off by saying that he’s not Naosuke’s older brother. This part of him shows that he is capable of having a guilty conscience because he felt bad that Naosuke got sick because of him. Issa does like a challenge as long as he’s the one initiating it. [6]
Issa’s the no-nonsense type of person who won’t indulge anyone if he thinks it’s a waste of his time. Issa is shown to be a bit of a sentimental person specially when it comes to memories of his former band. Though, he sometimes tries to shrug it off, he does have an honest side that’s not ashamed to show what he’s feeling. [7]
Issa doesn’t like being teased and doesn’t take kindly to anyone having any “blackmail” material against him. This is evident when Takaaki teased him by saying that he’ll show a picture of Issa sleeping after Issa refused to participate in the VAZZRadi talk. [7]
He is generally quiet and will only talk if he’s spoken to. Though, if annoyed enough (specially by Naosuke or by Futaba) he will speak in a rather annoyed tone.
He can be a bit demanding and unreasonable as shown when he smacked Futaba awake one midnight because he wanted to eat some bread. This is shown more when he said he wouldn’t eat the bread unless it’s freshly baked. He can be oblivious sometimes as shown when he didn’t notice how Takaaki curled his hair as a prank as payback for Issa waking VAZZY up to make bread at midnight. [8]
He has revealed in an official tweet that he’s not the type to get into many things at once and that he’s the type who likes to have one hobby at a time. He is rather shy and tries to deny his closeness with his brother and tries to deny that he enjoys being in VAZZY a lot. Though, his actions normally fail him as he lets out a smile here and then. And it has been hinted that he does enjoy Futaba’s company time and again. [7]
Lately, he has been more open about showing his emotions and gratitude towards the other VAZZY members. Takaaki describes Issa to be cat-like to which Futaba agrees. [9]

Issei is a young man of average height, with black hair with long bangs framing his face and dark blue-purple eyes. He is distinguished from his twin, Ichiru , by the fact his bangs are swept to the right and he is typically seen with a more neutral expression.

Tsukiyama is a rather short young man, with light brown hair and pale green eyes. Like the other managers, he is seen wearing formal business attire.

Not much is known about Kei so far other than he's been described by TSUKINO as a bit of a scatterbrain.


Tsukipro

Keito has light brown hair, with a slight purple tint similar to Shiki's towards the tips, and light purple eyes. He is slightly taller than his brother and has pierced ears. He is described as having a slim, athletic build.
In the anime, Keito has light purple hair; not as vivid as the purple of Shiki's hair.
The members of Growth upon meeting Keito remarked that Keito & Shiki looked alike yet different at the same time; however, they did agree that Keito had the same intense eyes as his older brother. [1]

Keito appears to be quite a kind and relatively gentle young man. He didn't hesitate to pick up and return an item to Mina Okui that she had unknowingly dropped, even though at the time they were complete strangers.
However, he can also be somewhat oblivious, like his elder brother, as he inadvertently ended up following Mina all the way to the TSUKINO TALENT PRODUCTION dorms after returning her item to her. She mistook this for him stalking her, when in reality he was oblivious to the fact he'd been following behind her the whole way from the station and was just incidentally walking to the same location.
He is also, by his own admission, a somewhat proud person. When he entered a graphic design proposal competition he could have name dropped the fact he was Shiki's younger brother, as SolidS were the ambassadors for that particular product; however, he chose not to, as he wanted to compete on his own merit even if that meant not winning. [1]

Kensuke is a young male of above average height, with dark blue hair and teal-green eyes.
For his appearance in the second SOARA live action movie, I will. -Kimi ga Mirai o Aruku Toki- , his hair was changed to a brown color rather than dark blue so as to look more natural for the movie's setting.

Kensuke is a young man with a very friendly and outgoing personality. He's a lot more outspoken compared to his friends Koki and Ryota . [2] Though outspoken, Kensuke has been revealed to be a person who's good at reading the atmosphere and offers advice or comment that's appropriate to the situation such as when they first reunite with ZIX in the second drama CD . He's also not the type of person who outwardly says his dislike for someone else, tending to keep it quietly to himself and with the other members only. [3]
Typical to a young man his age, Kensuke likes challenging himself with new things even if it doesn't yield any favorable results at first. [4]
Kensuke treasures his fellow Growth members a lot and will try to help them out as much as he can. He's closest to Ryota but is equally protective (although slightly less than Ryota) of Koki. He idolizes Mamoru's music a lot, too. [3] [4]
Kensuke is shown to have little care for his character image though he admits that he wants his fans to think of him as cool but he won't force himself to change just because of what others might think about him. [4]
Kensuke's sort of a pacifist when it comes to conflicts or arguments that happen between the members such as when he tried to calm down Ryota after they found out that Koki was originally invited to be a member of ZIX. Though he can tend to be a little petty sometimes such as when he found out about ZIX's fortune-telling segment on TV, which he and Ryota laughed at. [3]


Tsukipro

Koki is a young man of average height, with collar length blonde hair that has long bangs covering the left side of his face, and light blue eyes.

Makoto has black hair, with red tips, and red-brown eyes. He also has two ear piercings in each ear, along the top ridge.

The leader of ZIX, with a strong personality to match his position. [1]
Makoto is as bossy, demanding, and arrogant as he is talented. As a result, he's the type to have made a lot of enemies in the industry, but also have an equal number of dedicated and passionate fans. [1]
Despite his flaws, he's known for always having a high level of professionalism and is quite the perfectionist. [1]

Mamoru is a young man of average height, with collar length dark burgundy hair and light brown eyes. He is the oldest member of his unit, being three years older than the others.


Tsukipro

Mina has the same light blonde hair and golden eyes as her elder brother, and also bears a striking physical resemblance to him in her overall facial structure. Her hair is longer than Tsubasa's however, reaching down to her shoulders, and is accented by a large brown clip.
In her only appearances so far she is seen wearing a simple white shirt accompanied by a long, light brown skirt and a blue coat.
Upon meeting her at the TSUKINO dorms, all the members of the other units ( SOARA , Growth , & QUELL ) remarked upon how identical her and Tsubasa looked. [1]

From what little has been seen of Mina so far, she appears to be a kind and intelligent young woman.
In addition to sharing physical similarities with Tsubasa, she also seems to share several of his personality traits too. Predominantly; she is currently quite conflicted about what she wants to do with her life as a lot of different careers seem appealing to her. Tsubasa confessed that prior to settling on being an idol he was much the same, bouncing between different jobs he wanted to pursue.
Along with their shared indecisive nature, the two also seem to be naturally gifted at certain skills; in Mina's case she was shown to be quite athletically gifted and talented at the violin when she was younger. As a result, both Mina and Tsubasa tend to either downplay their talents or give up on the skill entirely so they don't make others they care about feel bad in comparison. [1]


Tsukipro

Minato is a young man of average height, with dark green hair and similarly colored eyes.

According to Kensuke , Minato at first gives off the impression of being serious and reserved, but says that he betrayed those expectations in a good way. Despite having only just met him, all the members of Growth agreed that Minato was easy to talk to and get along with.
Contrary to his seemingly quiet and reserved image, Minato actually enjoys experiencing new things and meeting new people, and confesses to love amusement parks and scary rides. [1] [2] He's also an avid gamer, and to the surprise of the members of Growth he plays a character whose image (dark knight) is quite at odds with his real-life personality and image. [3]
Minato has admitted he's somewhat lonely due to not having any friends his age because of moving around due to his work. Similarly, he is afraid of rejection and as a result cannot easily find a girlfriend. He also says he has trouble talking to people informally, even if they request it, due to having to constantly talk formally for his job. [1]


Tsukipro

Mitsuru has teal hair, with his bangs covering his right eye, and light purple-gray eyes. He has long eyelashes, and is usually seen wearing at least one necklace.

Makoto Sugai 's partner in ZIX. [1]
To his fans, he has a sweet and light-hearted image. In reality, however, his true personality is of someone who is highly ambitious, cunning, and calculating. [1]
He is the type who gets joy from bullying someone when he likes them. The more he likes them, the more he will harrass them. This part of his personality frequently annoys Makoto. [1]
Due to the gap between his stage persona and his real self, he is sometimes called "two-faced" by those who aren't too fond of him, such as Ryota Sakuraba . However, Ryota himself has relucatantly admitted that there are quite a few similarities between the two of them in terms of their personalities. [2]


Tsukipro

Morihito is a young male of average height, he has short dirty blonde hair and pale green eyes. He is the only idol in TSUKIPRO (ALIVE & SQ) who has to wear glasses.
In the live action movies his hair was changed from dirty blonde to a light reddish brown color to look more natural.

Mori's personality has, in general, been described by the other members as "motherly". He likes taking care of his friends a lot and dotes on them (especially Sora) most of the time. [3] [4]
He's pretty graceful and elegant considering how he grew up with very prim and proper parents. He loves music a lot, specially Sora's music. He's very soft-spoken and calm most of the time, to the point that it's not obvious if he's angry or irritated. [5] [6]
He's the type of person that's easily swayed, just like when he almost immediately agrees with Sora's ideas. [3] [5] He's also very diligent and is great at studying. He has good grades in school and is extremely popular not just with girls but with boys as well. [7]
He's also a little bit sensitive and sentimental from time to time. This is shown when he cried during graduation at the thought that he won't be in the same school as his friends. [4] He also sometimes feels lonely at his university since he doesn't go to the same school as Sora and Soshi. [8]
To balance out Sora's occasionally scatter-brained tendencies, Mori tends to help him with some of the responsibilities of running SOARA; to the point where Nozomu jokingly refers to him as "SOARA's real leader". [9]
