Nanami is depicted as a gentle and soft-spoken girl who seems weak, but she is actually very strong. However, she is downright terrifying to face during a fight. She displays a critical lack of basic human understanding or empathy, much like Shichika did early on in the series. However, Nanami's disregard for basic human values is even more severe than Shichika's, possibly due to her father trying to kill her. She also flashes very creepy and dark smiles on occasion, hinting at a bloodthirsty nature that lies beneath her fragile exterior. As the seasons go by, her inner murderer gains more sway, and she becomes noticeably insane and even fatalistic, in part due to the increasing suffering her body is undergoing.

According to Rinne Higaki , he was quite cheeky and lively just like his daughter. He also had an honorable side as he sacrificed himself for the sake of history and his daughter.


Katanagatari

Togame is petite and often claims to be physically fragile. As a child, she had black hair and dark pink eyes. After she witnessed the death of her father, her appearance changed. Her hair turned white from the shock and the eye that saw his murder through the doorway gap takes on a crucifix / cross-like appearance whenever she schemes. One of the Maniwani notes that it "shines with ambition". Later in the series, her long hair is chopped off by a brutal attack from Nanami Yasuri .

A piece of half-armor covers one shoulder, referencing her samurai lineage. Her skirt has an intentionally torn appearance. She wears traditional geta. In the novels, Togame states that fashion is important and she dresses as she does to give herself a more imposing appearance.

Full Appearance Eye color change when scheming. Her hair cut by Nanami.

Togame has a strong will and a high intellect, but she is also very clumsy and not immune to bad judgment. She calculates brutal schemes that surprise even her partner / sword, Shichika Yasuri . Despite this, Togame is a cheery girl that handles herself as royalty, as is shown with her habit of wearing extravagant clothing and way of speaking. Her catchphrase is "Cheerio!", which she shouts while striking Shichika. Togame explains that this is a foreign word for "Chesuto!" (the Kagoshima dialect equivalent of "Ganbare!") only to discover later that this is incorrect. After some embarrassment, she tries to pass it off as an intentional choice.
Togame announces that she is the "general strategian" for the shogun himself, an odd self-chosen title for a person that takes on odd work, such as finding the 12 Deviant Blades of myth. She is rarely fazed by anything they encounter and is driven by the necessity to do what needs to be done to complete the quest, no matter what the cost.
Togame is wary of trusting others as she has been betrayed before on her sword-collecting quest. She orders Shichika to fall in love with her as she believes that only love surpasses all other temptations, including money or honor. Togame defines herself as a strategian, but emphasizes that what she concocts are not normal strategies or plans. She asserts that she instead makes schemes: haphazard plans made by the destitute and desperate to achieve success in the face of impossible odds. Her schemes focus on survival instead of complete victory, though she admits that sometimes, miracles can happen.

Kekkai Sensen

Despite being a Beyondian, she looks extremely human, or at least on the surface. She wears a metallic mask over her face that looks similar to Femt's except hers can open in the middle to reveal a single Cyclopean eye.

As the Queen Of Monomania, Aligura focuses on a single thing to the detriment of all other things, willing to kill and/or maim anything and anyone who dares stand in between her and what she wants and with no regards for how much money and resources she must expend to complete her goal. At the moment, she is focused on getting her boyfriend and his vessel body back, and her love has mutated into a twisted, violently possessive devotion.
When in situations that don't involve her obsession,  she is one of the more level headed Kings met in the series, willing to give Leo well meaning relationship advice or spend a day just watching fireworks. Still, she won't pass up a chance to cause mayhem if another King makes the offer.


Kekkai Sensen

Due to his memory loss of the amnesia spores from his head, he may have forgotten his background or psychology. Despite this, he says he is not an idiot. He will come to his senses and talk, like when Leo mentioned if Nej's mom taught him to be patient.


Kekkai Sensen

Barborossa's distinguishing feature is the mask that covers roughly two-third of his face, including his nose and mouth. The part of his face not covered by the mask is pure black, including his ear and neck. Only his right eye is visible.

Not much is known about Barborossa's motivations, although he agrees with Femt that "letting things unfold naturally would have been much better" after the Great Collapse . [1] He seemingly has some empathy, as he acted against his own preferences in order to placate Amnes , who wished for the inhabitants of Hellsalem's Lot to get along.


Kekkai Sensen

He seems to be a man who takes pride in his children and doesn't treat them any differently. He is a loving and protective father to his family.


Kekkai Sensen

A young man with short blonde hair and blue eyes, he wears a black hooded jacket and round glasses.

Black is a fairly talkative person with a sweet and caring nature. Upon meeting Leonardo for the first time, he readily introduces himself and acts in a relaxed and friendly manner.
During Leo and Black’s lunch together, it is established that the two have a lot in common, especially when it comes to having low self-esteem. Black is shown to feel rather insecure about himself and his abilities, showing no hesitation in talking down on himself when recounting memories of being bullied in his younger years. Along with this, Black is also shown to be awkward and clumsy when he spills his drink all over himself in front of Leo, and is shown to panic in the embarrassing situation in an exaggerated manner.
Despite his insecurities, Black seems to have no trouble poking fun at Leo in a good natured way, often laughing at Leo when he gets flustered and teasingly referring to him as a ‘Tortoise Knight’ after Leo tells him that is the nickname Michella gave him. He also seems to enjoy sharing the knowledge he has with others, as seen when telling Leo about the Halloween traditions of his hometown in Episode 7, and when recounting the events of the collapse he has memorized to Leo and some passing school children in Episode 8. When a little girl tells Black that her parents are casters, he expresses that he believes that is something to be proud of. However it is also hinted that the great collapse has caused Black to not want to be a part of the casters himself, implying that the events of it have caused him trauma that he does not want to think about.
Black is incredibly protective of his younger twin sister White, as seen in multiple occasions throughout the series, especially when he is seen desperately trying to keep the King of Despair from involving her in his plans. As children, he and White were raised lovingly by their parents; however, Black began to develop feelings of being lesser than his family due to the fact he saw himself as emotionally weak. He came to this conclusion when he and White were making mud balls together when they were very little, and when White made better a mud ball than him he used his psychic powers to burst the ball out of frustration. He expected White to start crying, but instead she just went straight to making another mud ball, and Black ended up being the one crying. Due to this, Black felt as though he was much weaker than his sister, and showed great self-restraint in distancing himself from his powers as much as possible in order to try to better himself as a person, even going as far as letting bullies beat him up without fighting back.
Another trait of Black’s is that he is rather sensitive, and this is especially exhibited in flashbacks to his childhood in Episode 11 where he is shown to cry very easily, such as when the family dog knocked the ice cream he was eating out of his hand and when he started crying because White was crying.


Kekkai Sensen

A tall older man with short black hair, mustache, and goatee, typically dressed in a suit & tie under a brown overcoat.

Outwardly jovial for the most part, he seems entirely unaware why people go out of their way to avoid him, and can come off as insensitive, such as when he chastised Leo for damaging an eye, telling him to "sacrifice an arm" next time.
Despite this, whenever it comes to the job at hand, he becomes decidedly more serious & cold, going so far as to threaten Deldro Brody with coagulation when the latter attempts to threaten him.


Kekkai Sensen

Chain is a young woman with chin-length black hair and dark purple eyes. She is seen clad in a black suit with a white shirt underneath it, black pants and shoes.

Despite this, she can also be quite sadistic, often causing physical harm to others, usually Zapp Renfro , with whom she doesn't get along. However, she does show some protectiveness towards her friends, as shown when she refused to give her friend Angelica's phone number to Zapp who kept pestering her.
While she shows Leo and Zapp little respect (the two often being the ones she steps on - though in Leo's case she never causes him much physical harm in stark contrast to the daily amount of pain she inflicts on Zapp), she seems to care for Leo as she is the one that has helped him on two separate occasions (one in helping getting his money back and the second when he went to get Zed's pods back), having followed him to ensure he was alright, implying she cares for him like a younger brother. She also has feelings for Steven which he is oblivious to. In fact, her link to the world is her attachment to her apartment and Steven.


Kekkai Sensen

Daniel is a man with brown hair and bangs that covers his left eye. He wears a maroon tie, a white shirt with a brown vest and a tan trenchcoat.

Dog has the appearance of a slim, dark skinned man in his early 20s. His attire consists of a long sleeved white shirt with the sleeved rolled up to his elbow. He wears blue skinny jeans and his shoes are white and light purple. Deldro, before being liquefied, had the appearance of a tall slim grey demon-like creature. The bottom half of his face was black with light blue lips. Now he is blood red substance. As Brody&Hummer he transforms into a gargantuan red and black demon with beady yellow eyes. Although the body itself is an exoskeleton so Dog's body remains intact.

Dog is seen to be overly ecstatic and optimistic about nearly everything to the point where other characters question him. His very polite and carefree personality matched with his good looks are what makes him so popular.
Deldro is the exact opposite of Dog: he is pessimistic, crude, and was said to be cold-blooded and ruthless before he was forcibly injected into Dog's body to become his blood. Since becoming Dog's blood, Deldro seems to have mellowed out a bit as he shows concern whenever Dog's antics might endanger his real body when they become Brody&Hummer.
Together their personalities don't clash as much as it would seem; rather, both keep each other in check and think of the best possible solutions to a problem.


Kekkai Sensen

A bulbous insect-like beyondian with claw like limbs, all wrapped in a black cape. Underneath the cape is his massive brain, surrounded by all the smaller brains he has taken from opponents who could not endure a prosfair game against him.

Considered one of the most influential & mysterious Mob bosses in the Beyond, very little is known about him, save that he is an avid Pross-Fair player & is willing to offer favors to anyone who can 'entertain' him for a set period of time in proportion to the magnitude of the request.
Despite his skill, he is not above using psychological tactics & hostages in order to control his opponents, such as arranging for Klaus to be present for Ulchelko's match, knowing he'd offer himself to save the chessmaster, & informing the Libra Leader of Ulchelko's addendum that the Don kill him & K.K to keep his presence a secret hoping it would break Klaus's will at the last second.
Despite the dirty tactics he used in their match, he truly does consider Klaus something of a friend.


Kekkai Sensen

Dr. Gamimotz appears as a skeletal creature with numerous sharp, insect-like limbs, dressed in a high-collared cape and wearing a top hat over his bald head. Several of these limbs are altered into the shape of surgical equipment. He carries four coffins chained to a length of bone behind his back. The skull of a previous holder of the ' All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods ,' along with an intact left eye, is attached to the hollow right side of his head, allowing him to use its powers. According to him, the eye he possesses is at least 150 years old. His possessed victim is mummified and attached to him via cords running from the victim's mouth. Because he hides his actions by manipulating visions, Dr. Gamimotz has altered himself to make his body extremely light so as to become as quiet and nimble as possible.


Kekkai Sensen

Emma Macbeth was a woman of average height and slender frame. She had dark green eyes-a trait she would pass on to her daughter Mary as well as short dark jacket showing her belly button with black hair, slightly longer from the front with the left side reaching past her face and stopping near her chin. Her attire while seen in the anime reflected her roles as a housewife and investigator; alternating from bright to dark clothing.


Kekkai Sensen

A tall, thin Beyondian with long limbs & blonde hair who wears a steel mask to hide his upper face along with a black suit & white gloves. In the anime, he wears an expensive lab coat over his suit.

Sadistic and clearly insane, Femt lives for excitement & can't stand anything 'normal'. In a city full of diverse species fighting to get along, even Zapp acknowledges that Femt is the worst.
Despite his cruel nature, Femt wants entertainment above all else, and always offers humanity a fighting chance. Considering his powers, he could easily level Hellsalems Lot by unleashing all his scientific abominations at once, but that wouldn't be nearly as fun to watch. Ironically, he is a sore loser, and throws tantrums whenever mankind uses that fighting chance he gives them and wins.


Kekkai Sensen

Gilbert is an older gentlemen with grey, wavy hair and pale skin clad in typical butler attire. His most notable feature are the bandages which cover the majority of his face save for his eyes, mouth and hair.

Superhuman Regeneration : Gilbert's body possesses an extremely fast rate of regeneration which is only active when he's been inflicted with grave injuries or blows which cause instant death. This ability is shown after Gilbert's head was cleaved in two by an Alterworld creature, who'd stolen Phillip's brain, but managed to hold onto consciousness and kill it shortly afterwards. However, despite being able to heal from pretty much any wound, this power doesn't nullify the pain which comes from his injuries.

That slip, made Leonardo realize this was a set-up by Zapp and Gregor assures Leonardo that everyone will be okay. Leonardo wonders why people are gathering to see blood, when they can see it in every corner of Hellsalem's Lot , but Gregor explains that while people can easily pull a trigger and kill someone, people here are not for the blood, but for the love of the bare-knuckle combat.

Typically cheerful, she cares deeply for her comrades & sons, whom she treasures above all else.
She seems to have a slight complex about her age and figure, and openly dislikes being around Steven, whom she refers to as 'Scarface'. She shares a much closer relationship to Klaus, whom she describes as a perfect gentleman and the leader of her organization. In fact, she worried and cried for Klaus after he was put at the brink of death and coughing blood from playing Prosfair for 99 hours in exchange for valuable information, and threatened to kill her subordinates if they couldn't use that information to good use as it nearly cost her friend his life. despite her confident and brave demeanor, she can be very emotional, such as being hurt over her son's declaration she was a bad mother because she couldn't make it to parent's night (having broken such promises multiple times due to her obligations with Libra) and crying over soap operas. She was also enthusiastic to learn her son had interest in a female classmate and was mutually interested in Leo's family drama in episode 11 season 2.
Possibly due to her strong relationships with her children she is also protective of children, as shown in episode 8 when she saved two children stuck in a car from being killed.
In season 2 episode 11, it is shown in her character card that she loves gossip shows, soap operas, women weeklies and gossip.


Kekkai Sensen

Klaus is a large, red-haired man with a distinctive under-bite, green eyes, and side-burns. He wears a white shirt with a red tie under a black waistcoat, as well as black pants with brown dress shoes. He also wears glasses. The back of his vest is adorned with a small silver cross.

Known for his gentlemanly composure, honest to a fault nature and unshakable will, he typically conducts himself in a calm, polite manner unless suitably angered, in which case he will lash out with a beast-like level of savagery.
Due to his nature, he tends to over-stress himself worrying for the safety of others (particularly Leo ) and will often put himself on the line to save them, something Zapp and Daniel Law , a HLPD lieutenant, have taken advantage of.
An avid botanist and Prosfair player, his office contains several potted plants which, if damaged or otherwise upset, is a sure-fire way to anger him according to Zapp.
It is implied during Gilbert 's injury that Klaus will not accept tea brewed by anyone else, though he is later shown to be quite adept at brewing it himself.


Kekkai Sensen

A middle aged man with short, pale blonde hair. He always wears a formal suit and tie.

He is an ambitious individual, and very confident in Prosfair game.


Kekkai Sensen

Leonardo is a young adult man with a below average height, standing below most other members of Libra in terms of height. He has messy, maroon-colored hair that goes out in many angles, with a few bangs long enough to cover his eyes. He wears a long sleeve, bi-colored shirt, with a unique collar that widens around the base of his neck, and covers most of it. The shirt has a black collar and sleeves with a yellow body (blue and white in the anime, respectively). Around his neck sits his signature goggles, which are black with yellow-orange tinted lens. He wears a pair of dark blue pants, along with  round blue sneakers that have white and orange highlights.

Aside from his eyes, Leo is a decidedly normal young man and can be somewhat of a coward, easily intimidated by the bizarre nature of Hellsalem's Lot. Though, he bears an adventurous and courageous side as well, growing less cowardly as he gets used to his new home. He tends to express his emotions openly, whether they be excitement at something new and enjoyable, fear of the insanity and dangers of Hellsalem's lot or annoyance at Zapp 's negligent and irresponsible attitude. Guilt-stricken that he was not courageous enough to speak up and prevent his sister's sight from being taken away, Leo is determined to uncover the secrets of his All-Seeing Eyes and try to find a way to restore his sister's sight.
He is a very kind person, as he works very hard to earn money to support his sister but refuses to be paid by Libra more than he feels he deserves and takes a second job as a pizza delivery man to cover the fees. In addition, he quickly becomes friends with a mushroom monster in episode 6 despite the common prejudice humans have towards monsters from Hellsalem's Lot. He even offers to meet him at a specific time any day he can to buy him burgers as his friend had been conned and forced to pay quadruple the amount of money needed to pay for the soda since monsters weren't allowed into the burger establishment.
While he lacks the combat skills of his fellow Libra members, he is quite clever and quick to adapt to situations. Michella fondly calls him her "Tortoise Knight", because Leo never runs away even if he freezes up and cannot move, even if he is at a loss, and will endure until the moment he can take a step forward.
Despite having the powers of the All-seeing God's eyes, he refuses to abuse them for his own benefit. When an arrogant tourist beats Leo and takes his wallet, Leo refuses to use his eyes to attack the aggressor. Leo later tries to confront the aggressor with nothing more than an electrical katana which would not kill the man but only hurt him (despite having access to a large number of weapons that could've easily killed the man), demonstrating Leo's pacifistic nature and kind heart.
He is usually partnered with Zapp Renfro , and is typically forced to put up with the man's shenanigans, often voicing his displeasure towards them.

Not wanting to escalate the situation as that would cause them trouble and seeing Nej keeps talking about burgers, Roger tells Martin to give Nej Roger's half-eaten burger which Nej happily accepts.
Later they buy Nej buy 4 burgers on the price of 16, knowing that Nej can't buy them himself and charge him extra.
They got in trouble and need to get some money fast. Scared Roger pisses himself and Martin puts on a gas mask as he can't stand the smell. They end up hitting Nej again and Roger gets angry and starts beating him. Martin tries to stop him, but as Roger keeps hitting Nej, he turns red and releases spores, causing everyone to collapse. Martin is surprised of what's going on and takes Roger and leaves.
On the next day, Martin realizes that Roger has no memories of what happened and its because of Nej's spores. He finds him and kidnaps him along with Leonardo .

In order to stop them, Leonardo uses his eyes, but that makes Martin angry who hits him with his bat. Seeing that, Nej gets angry and releases big amount of spores affecting everyone and causing them to forget the last two weeks.


Kekkai Sensen

A tall, grim-faced man dressed like a typical Diner-chef with casual clothes under a white apron and short chef's hat.

Despite his gruff exterior, he's kind enough to allow Leo to wash dishes in exchange for a meal the boy otherwise couldn't afford.
He clearly loves his daughter, as he purposefully used his body to sheltered her from the debris when his diner was destroyed during the Yog-Gphot's rampage. He also shows he trusts Leo enough with Vivian's safety when he urges him to escape with her.
Like Vivian, he has clearly adapted to life in Hellsalem's Lot, as even after his Diner is destroyed he continues to work out of the ruins until it is rebuilt.


Kekkai Sensen

She has long, light brown hair tied up in a black ribbon and wears a warm jacket and gloves, a lap blanket over a green dress, and brown boots; however, in Volume 10, she wears different clothes. She sits in a wheelchair as a result of her inability to walk.

Michella cares greatly for her brother, having a strong bond with him since they were kids, and often calls him her "tortoise knight." She is also very brave, allowing her own eyesight to be taken in exchange for her brother to gain sight.
According to Leonardo, she can sometimes get very childish and easily moody. In volume 10, it appears that Michella always jokes about her disability to walk.


Kekkai Sensen

Neyka is a young woman with green eyes. She has light brown hair that is tied up into a ponytail with an aqua-colored ribbon. She is the shortest member of Libra .

Kekkai Sensen

He is an alien whom seems to have lost most of his body during blood training, being only an arm and a barely visible face under a tattered robe & a wild boar skull.

With a biting personality and brutal discipline of training, he and Zapp stood on acrimonious terms. Zapp notes that Raju is only concerned with blood techniques, and to the point where he is able to move around without many limbs, using blood techniques to do so instead. Raju does, however, acknowledge that Zapp is his best disciple.
Raju does not speak Japanese, instead speaking in what seems to be a mechanical voice resembling the sound of a didgeridoo that only Zapp can decipher. In his introduction, Raju simply held Zapp by his head while the latter translated it into something comprehensible. Later, Hidekatsu Shibata's voice is superimposed on top of his natural voice for the viewers to understand.
Raju considers the majority of Libra to be inexperienced newcomers, disdainfully belittling K.K. and Steven A. Starphase for being unable to tell on sight which of the two was the Blood Breed he was fighting. He notes that Klaus Von Reinherz lacks experience in leadership, citing Zapp's lack of discipline in his judgment.
Despite his rather scathing personality, he may have a bit of a sense of levity; in the Season 1 finale, he is briefly seen tapping his staff on the ground in rhythm with the song while Zed looks on with complete shock.


Kekkai Sensen

Riga El Menuhyut is a massive, monstrous entity wearing a purple cloak with four arms, one pair being much larger than the other pair, and two wing-like protrusions on either side of its bulbous head with a single eye nestled in its mouth.

Sonic is a small white monkey with a large head and thin body with big yellow eyes. His eyes are full of hope and love.

He seems to have a quirky scaredy-cat personality and is a bit of a glutton. Sonic seems to have his own will, and follows Leonardo at a whim.
He can be curious and fun loving, and enjoys eating and dancing around as common for monkeys. He is also very agile. In addition, he is very perceptive, often telling Leo of his surroundings, such as poking Leo when Zedd entered the room as they were talking about him and telling Leo where Mr. Riel was.
He tends to be easily frightened by bigger threats, and it is common for a member of his species to run away at the first sign of danger, as he often does even when Leo can be in danger. Despite this, he seems to have developed a sense of loyalty to Leo because, despite the number of different life-threatening situations Leo finds himself in, Sonic always remains at and/or returns to Leo's side (though does tend to run away when Leo gets mugged which is often). He has been shown to even warn Leo of incoming danger and does tend to worry about Leo. He is also shown to have human-level intelligence and despite being unable to speak, always understands what is told to him and follows Leo's commands when he is needed, whether it be finding a stray cat through a maze of pipes or going inside a monster to neutralize the threat (as shown in season 2 episode 9).


Kekkai Sensen

A tall man with short black hair and a thin scar running down the left side of his face. He typically wears a dark grey suit, blue shirt and a yellow tie.

Seemingly laid back, he gives off an air of a suave businessman, always with a quip or sardonic comment to make about the situation. When crossed, however, he shows a ruthless side, and is not above using his connections to make 'problems' disappear.


Kekkai Sensen

He dressed in a white suit & shoes over a purple shirt with the collar and top two buttons undone.

A run-of-the-mill mafia playboy, Tonio was devotedly loyal to his boss, Lorenzo the Frank, for picking him off the streets and basically letting him do as he pleased.
Considered loud and immature by the more serious members of the gang, he could be unusually perceptive, especially in regards to the boss's condition.

Girika has light pink hair, getting darker closer to the tips. Her hair is relatively short, using a stereotypical vampirie M shape cut. She wears a black sweater dress with the sleeves pulled up and thigh high black boots. Her skin is a pale grey, similar to other vampiric representations. Her eyes are a crimson red like most other Blood Breeds , and she wears dark lipstick to match,

As noted by her friend, Ramiella Gordokillia Gulzargeil Zonazreka , Girika was a free spirited Bloodbreed that enjoys wandering around from place to place that catches her interest. [1] As shown, Girika had chosen to travel to Hellsalem's Lot due to hearing about unique humans with the power to pose a threat to her fellow Bloodbreads. Causing her to go there and cause a ruckus to attract these “ special humans ” to satisfy her curiousity.
Girika was shown to be very whimsical, having decided to turn Tonio Andretti after spending the night with him and relegating her deal with Lorenzo the Frank. Showing that Girika was mainly driven by whatever she finds amusing at the momment and she has no problem relegating on deals and agreements she made beforehand if she no longer finds it amusing.


Kekkai Sensen

Her face is roundish with no discernible nose, with a cross shaped mouth low on her face and two drop ears like tentacles. She has red skin with black patches on the tips of her limbs and top of her head, and her arms have short tentacles along them.
She is seen wearing a white coat with a cream colored knit cap. For work, she wears a green shirt, an apron and a bandana.

While working, Veded comments she is glad how Steven seemed excited for the party because he is usually tense, surprising him because most people tell him he is hard to read. She gets a little nervous thinking she overstepped the bounds, but Steven calms her worries.
Veded spent the day helping Steven with the party’s preparations, and at his request cooked her special roasted beef. He dismisses her after his guests arrive, probably because he realizes their ploy, and she reluctantly complies.
A little later that night while driving through the city, she finds Mizaria the cat and the walking-heads of the thugs that mugged Leo earlier fighting so she picks them up before continuing her way. She then sees Steven alone in the road, surprised by this she stops to ask if the party is already over. Two children leave the car so she proceeds to introduce them to Steven as her daughter Emilida (エミリーダ) and her son Gamiel (ガミエル). Soon they are spotted by Leo and Zapp, who were searching for the cat.


Kekkai Sensen

She looks completely different from when she was working for the Bureau. Velvet has now multiple arms and tendrils extending from her head that she extends to perceive all. She has various piercings.


Kekkai Sensen

Veneno is a lean tall man with short hair and a long, narrow mustache. He wears a black cape over a white shirt with a bow, black trousers, white gloves and a top hat. Over the right side of his face he wears a mask that keeps his eye hidden.


Kekkai Sensen

A young woman presumably Leo's age, with short blonde hair & blue eyes. She typically wears a white short-sleeve shirt over blue jeans & a green apron with a red baseball cap worn backwards.

Described by Leo as being a 'busybody' in the anime, she seems very-down to earth & isn't above giving him a piece of her mind.
Like many residents of Hellsalem's Lot, she seems indifferent to the weirdness that surrounds her, though she may simply have chosen to ignore it.


Kekkai Sensen

White is a seemingly young girl with pale skin and green eyes. She has her hair up in two long blonde pigtails. She wears what could be assumed as a hospital gown with black cuffs and collars, with a slit running from her knee down to the end of the dress.

When she first met Leonardo, she claimed herself to be a Ghost. She was not at all shy when asking Leo to be her friend when the two first met during Episode 2 . She sometimes gets moody as seen in Episode 5 and get upset for an undisclosed reason. But she can also get emotional as seen in episode 5 as well.
She gets along quite well with her brother Black as seen in Episode 6 . Black have stated in Episode 7 that she's a tomboy, headstrong and selfish sometimes.


Kekkai Sensen

A tall, lanky, white haired man with dark skin. He typically wears a black, long-sleeved muscle shirt under a white suit and shoes and is often seen smoking a cigar.

Described as a hotheaded, hyper-sexual juvenile punk, he is easily annoyed and quick to lose his temper; his juvenile actions often get him and others into trouble.
Despite this, he is supposedly good at looking after new members, and so was assigned as Leo's partner/bodyguard. He is also something of a ladies man, possessing several lovers in town.
For reasons unknown, he regularly tries to fight Klaus to beat him, only to be routinely smacked down.


Kekkai Sensen

As a merman, he has yellow eyes, blue skin with black markings adorning his head & wrist-blades that extend backwards like fins. He wears a black, sleeveless muscle-shirt, finger-less gloves & green cargo pants with metal sneakers. There is also a water breathing apparatus around his neck with a very sleek design, making them look like headphones.

A stark contrast to Zapp, Zed is a decidedly serious individual who has little patience for nonsense, particularly that of his fellow disciple. However, he's not above lashing back at Zapp, making it seem like he was okay with the sushi place Zapp picked out in order to mess with him only to reveal later that he disliked eating raw fish. This shows that he only said that to Zapp in order to fire back with his own brand of playful vengeance, knowing that Zapp wouldn't admit defeat and leading to the full events of Run! Lunch!! Run!!!. He is very polite and soft spoken though does tend to get annoyed when people laugh at him or try to insult him. He is also usually quiet and easy to get along with, going with the flow of events and tries to be agreeable. He is very well read, often seen reading books in his spare time due to the fact in the past his creator, an unknown count, talked with him a lot about poetry and music, art and science, philosophy, astronomy etc. In addition, he feels a strong sense of loneliness as he is the only one of his kind as he is a heteromorph who is half fish half human and is therefore not human but also not a creature from Hellsalem’s lot and as a result is rejected by both species. He does find friends within Libra and seems strongly connected to them, as he was looking forward to a New Year’s party to meet the other Libra members. He seems to be a loner, as he rarely hangs out with the other members except Leonardo, who often invites him to eat lunch and Zapp whom he often fights with.


Kekkaishi

Aihi most often appears in her human form: a woman with dark blue hair. She wears a white lab coat, which has a black armband with a white cross pattern on the left arm (all of her subordinates wear this armband in the manga [3] ), a black top underneath, bluish-green leggings, and sandals. [1] Aihi's true form is an enormous, somewhat humanoid blue flower with a large, single eye at the center of her petals, and countless vines for attacking. [2]

Aihi tends to be quiet and introspective. She is greatly interested in understanding humans [2] , and dislikes her work being wasted or destroyed. [4] [2] Though she is frustrated by her inability to leave the castle, she also displays concern for Hisui , her only subordinate. [1]


Kekkaishi

Byaku has long, gray hair which usually covers the left side of his face. This hides his over-sized left eye, but still reveals a large, X-shaped scar centered on his nose. [3] Both the left side of Byaku's head and most of his left arm are composed of mechanical parts. Unlike the other members of Kokuboro, Byaku is actually still human, though he has heavily modified his body. [4]

While he was entirely human, Byaku rarely showed any emotion. He claims to have never loved his wife, believing that she was only using him to fulfill her own selfish desires. [4] Byaku is a master manipulator [5] , and remains calm in almost any situation. Though he rarely fights, in all of Kokuboro, only Princess and Kaguro have no fear of him. [6] He is entirely devoted to Princess, and she appears to be the only one he ever truly cared for. [7]


Kekkaishi

Gagin normally appears in a human skin that resembles a very tall man with spiked-up gray hair wearing battle armor. When he gets excited or angry enough, he begins to transform [1] into his true self: a six-armed centaur with a horse head, sharp red fangs, and three horns emerging from his head. His mane, tail and ankles seem to have flames emerging from them. [2]

Gagin is basically a hothead that loves a challenging fight. Most of Kokuboro's motives are secondary to him, he just wants to seek out and defeat strong opponents. [1] He is at first disappointed when he sees that Karasumori 's guardians are basically children, but quickly becomes excited when he sees their power. Though he is one of Kokuboro's best fighters, he allows his thirst for battle to overtake his senses. [2] His office is full of various weapons, neatly arranged along the walls. [3]


Kekkaishi

Gen had a very serious appearance for a teenager, possessing sharp eyes (due to being half Ayakashi) like an animal's, with sharp spiky black hair with a green tint and a apricot skin tone. His clothing mainly consisted of two outfits, the one he wore during battles consisted of a ninja like outfit, with purple pants and a short sleeved robe, which opened slightly at the top, along with a black sash around the waist. He also wore a green mesh long sleeved shirt, with guards on both his arms and legs, which had a swirly pattern on them, and plain black shoes. Along with that his outfit also carried The Shadow Organization Star symbol on both the backside of the robe, and on both sides of the front. And during his stay at Karasumori Academy , his regular clothes mainly consisted of the Middle School's uniform, with the only difference being that he kept the jacket unzipped revealing a orange shirt underneath and various shoes. He also carried a special blue flame tattoo around his body, given to him as a boy in order to keep him from fully transforming, he also has a muscular build (most likely a result from his training with Atora). After he transformed, Gen's body took on a Wolf-Man like form, growing taller than he was before. He also had brown fur all over his body, with long flowing hair running down his back. His eyes became light green with slitted pupils and his body gained markings over his face and limbs, Furthermore the flame tattoo around his waist changed from blue to red after his transformation.

Gen had a very solitary nature, and was slow to trust or even interact with anyone. He had trouble understanding the way other people behave, and spent a great deal of time observing them and reflecting. He was particularly puzzled by the partnership between Yoshimori Sumimura and Tokine Yukimura (since their families are supposedly still feuding), and could not understand what Yoshimori sees in such a "scary girl". Even when around people he considered friends, Gen only opened up so much. Like Yoshimori, Gen thought nothing of stepping in to save someone despite any danger to himself, though his reasons stem from Masamori entrusting him with his duties, which he felt gave his life purpose. After some time, it was revealed that Gen was reluctant to get close to others out of fear that they might witness his powers, and either label him as a monster or be hurt by him. [4]


Kekkaishi

Likely due to the inhumane spell that combines their bodies, the six brothers that compose Ichirou's giant body are all disfigured in some way. Gorou's left eye is unusually pale and narrowed, and his hair, while dark and long, appears to be thinning. [1] When venturing out, he conceals his face beneath a hood and mask, and also wears an eyepatch over his left eye. [2]

Gorou seemed just as cruel and calculating as his older brother Ichirou. [2] That Ichirou was willing to separate solely to free Gorou implies that he had great faith in Gorou's ability to carry out his orders. [1]


Kekkaishi

In human form, Haizen is a bald man with a tattoo on the left side of his head. The head of his demon form somewhat rese
Haizen's human form
mbles a silkworm, with the rest of his body being black, tall, and rounded.

He seems to be the least intelligent of the four. He seems to have a hard time remembering speeches, and seems to be uncomfortable in speaking as well. Once he reveals his true form, he doesn't speak at all, even when he was about to be destroyed.


Kekkaishi

Haroku's human disguise is a man with long, green hair. [1] In his true form, Haroku has a single eye, four powerful arms, a dark gray body, and dark green hair. [2]

While in human form, Haroku appears to be somewhat shy and unsure of himself. [1] In his true form, he is completely focused on doing his part in battle and says very little. [2]


Kekkaishi

Matsudo is a short, older man with gray hair. He wears glasses. [1]

Matsudo has a sly, playful nature. He enjoys teasing his friends [1] and toying with his enemies, and always seems to have a winning strategy in place no matter the situation. [2] Matsudo is entirely devoted to avenging the death of his lost love, Risa Kagami, and has a deep loathing toward her former husband, Shiranuma, who he felt sacrificed her in search of power. [3]


Kekkaishi

Hekian always wears a green cloak and dark green necklace, as well as a pale green face wrap and a white turban that conceals his face. His style of dress and attitude are very similar to The Shadow Organization 's Okuni .

Hekian's entire purpose is to investigate: the deeper the mystery, the more pleased he is while exploring it. He is especially intrigued by the Kekkaishi's Kekkai. [2] Hekian appears to get along well with Koshu , and generally treats everyone (even enemies) with respect unless thoroughly provoked. He later reveals that this attitude was partially due to Byaku's mind control: once free of Byaku's bug, Hekian's attitude and speech are less formal.


Kekkaishi

Ichirou is an enormous man, both in height and weight. He is rarely ever seen without either the mask that covers his entire head, or the small fan that he carries. [1]

Ichirou is calculating and cruel, actively plotting the demise of Masamori, the Night Troop, and the entire Sumimura Clan while still serving on the Council of Twelve. He is harsh with nearly everyone he views as being beneath him, especially his brothers if they should disappoint him. Ichirou is powerful enough that he never hesitates to threaten others, and even those who know what he is guilty of do not dare to challenge him directly, unless left with no other options.


Kekkaishi

Kaguro is always wearing a human skin disguise while in Karasumori: a tall, pale man with red eyes and dark hair. Though it is an older model and Aihi has designed more up-to-date ones, Kaguro prefers it, considering that the limits it places on his powers provides a fun challenge. [3] When not in his human skin disguise, Kaguro appears as a mummy with large eyes with red irises and yellow sclera, and always wears a black robe with red, frayed trim. [4] The exposed portions of his skin are badly burned, as his transformation into an Ayakashi greatly resembled him being struck by lightning. [2]

Kaguro is calculating, sadistic, and cunning. He hangs back and observes in many battles, looking for a single opponent who captures his interest. Once found, he pursues and provokes them with mind games until the two meet for their final battle. [3] He also enjoys manipulating the other demons in Kokuboro, and does not consider cutting them down a betrayal, because in his own words, he has no allies. [1] Kaguro also has some sense of personal honor: he despises taking hostages and prefers to challenge enemies directly in combat.


Kekkaishi

Koshu's human form is a very short, black-haired man with glasses. His true form is that of a red octopus demon, and oddly enough, he stays the exact same size.

Koshu is a devoted follower of Princess, and is obsessed with the state and cleanliness of the castle, which he considers his.


Kekkaishi

Kurohime looks like an average black fish, and is female. When she communicates with Masamori, her mouth makes the similar motion of a fish swimming in water. Her fins flap to stay airborne.


Kekkaishi

Mikeno is a female calico cat . The upper left portion of her face is black, while the upper right portion is most likely orange. A large portion of her back and her right front foreleg are also black. Her tail (which is totally white save for black sections at the tip and middle) is long enough that it can easily wind around her body at least four times. She wears a sealing collar with a single charm on it. [1] She also has cartoonishly prominent eyelashes to denote femininity, as opposed to Shimano.

Mikeno is very formal, generally referring to Legitimate Successors by their titles, rather than their names ( Tokiko is "21st," Tokine is "22nd"). [1]


Kekkaishi

Rokurou usually wears a hood and mask that conceals everything but his eyes. Judging by the star symbol on his clothing, he has some function in the Shadow Organization, but has so far only been seen working alongside the Investigation Department as a temporary guide.

Rokurou tends to be cold and quick to anger. He held a grudge against his older brothers for betraying him, but his first allegiance is ultimately to his clan. He criticizes Yoshimori for not appreciating his position as a Legitimate Successor, and holds the entire Sumimura family in low regard. However, Rokurou has a softer side: he accepted a gift of candy from some younger Night Troop members while he was recovering, and returned the majority so they could enjoy it. Rokurou has a somewhat strained relationship with his younger brother: he fears Shichirou and resents any attempts by him to become closer, even though Shichirou seems to genuinely prefer Rokurou to his other brothers (especially considering that they are all dead by Shichirou's own hand). At the end of the series, Rokurou and Shichirou are on slightly better terms, and Rokurou no longer seems to fear him.


Kekkaishi

In contrast with his former commander, Sakon has a refined appearance that fits with his tactical nature, a handsome man with pointed eyelashes and blond hair that is pulled back to reveal two large bangs that hang above his head like horns as well as a braided ponytail that is held by a steel hairband on the top of his head. His garb consists of a dark indigo Mandarin style robe with blue outline and red outline around his neck collar, two light blue sleeves and baggy pants, and black knee-length stockings ending in sandals. His demonic features are his blackish eyes that are shaped in a deranged oval shape and pointed teeth. [1]

In contrast to his former commander Gagin, Sakon is respectful, reserved and composed around his superiors, usually addressing them with "-sama" or "-san". He is a skilled tactician and prefers to keep his motives hidden [1] , to the point that even Princess cannot tell what he is thinking. He is also arrogant, looking down on his foes and believing that he is capable of taking over Karasumori by himself, and does not hesitate to use hostages. [2] He is very devoted to Gagin [1] , and takes the mission to take over Karasumori in part to avenge him. Sakon also has a short temper and greatly resents being criticized, going so far as to kill a subordinate for suggesting he enter the battle field because most of his men were being killed, before immediately doing just that.


Kekkaishi

S
Sanan's human form
anan is a brown bat demon with two large eyes, one situated directly above the other on his face. Both of his wings have a sharp edge that can easily cut through flesh. [2] His human form is a man with dark brown hair. [1]

Quite intelligent and very confident in his ability to lead, Sanan commands his comrades without hesitation, [1] and is quickly able to form new strategies that take advantage of their strengths. He does not particularly care about any of them, however, and would instantly sacrifice them if it meant that he alone would survive. [2]


Kekkaishi

Sandy is an attractive young woman with light hair. Yoshimori is made so uncomfortable by her beauty that he can barely speak to her, overly self conscious of how unattractive he must seem to someone like her. [1]

Sandy is friendly and outgoing, but is very afraid of Kokuunsai, who she (rather accurately) believes to be an old pervert that constantly follows her around. [1]


Kekkaishi

His original form is a giant squid-like demon who can shoot lasers from his head's blood-red tentacles and having fun while doing it and making funny shooting noises like a kid. Sekia in his human appearance appears to be a skinny, pasty young man with spiky red hair.

Sekia is an outgoing, fun-loving Ayakashi, portrayed with a childlike, raspy voice in the anime. When he was able to enter the human world during the day for the first time, he seemed very intrigued with many of the human necessities and attachments.


Kekkaishi

Shigemori is an old man with white hair and a white mustache. His hair is white and only covers the back and the sides of his head, leaving his crown exposed. In Kekkaishi uniform, he wears the exact same attire Yoshimori wears. His Houin mark is located on the palm of his left hand.

Shigemori is typically very loud, obnoxious, and strict, but takes his responsibilities as both the Sumimura clan head and a Kekkaishi very seriously. Inwardly, he worries about his grandsons: that Yoshimori is too reckless and immature, and that Masamori is steadily immersing himself in darkness. Shigemori scolds Yoshimori often, constantly pushing him to put aside childish things and focus on Kekkaishi training. [1] Shigemori regularly gets into fights with Tokiko Yukimura over which family is the true successor of Tokimori Hazama, and views most nightly Ayakashi hunts as a chance for Yoshimori to prove the Sumimura's superiority by overshadowing Tokine's skills (though it is often Tokine who beats Yoshimori). Despite this, when there is real danger, he is usually among the first to suggest working with the Yukimuras, but never fails to loudly point out Yoshimori's failings once the danger has passed. His relationship with Tokiko was once very similar to the connection that Yoshimori and Tokine have now, though appears to have become strained over the years. [2]


Kekkaishi

Shimano's sealed form is a tiger-striped cat with a seal around his neck. He has two very long tails. In his unsealed form, he is much larger and more fierce.

Shimano tends to be fairly serious most of the time, but seems to take a certain pleasure in torturing Yoshimori in the name of training, much like Shigemori does. Both Shimano and Mikeno are very formal, and usually refer to the Legitimate Successors by their titles (Shigemori is 21st, Yoshimori is 22nd) rather than their names. [1] Shimano also shows great responsibility in the job that was assigned to him and tried to help Yoshimori in any way he could.


Kekkaishi

Shion is a slender woman with black hair and pale skin. She typically wears violet earrings (with matching lipstick, and nail polish on her fingers and toes), a white cloak with spiderweb designs, a small armored chest-plate, ripped violet leggings, and a short wrap skirt of spiderweb. Her arms are always wrapped in spider thread, and she has a large, dark blue spider tattoo on her back.

Shion has a relaxed, almost lazy approach to her role in Kokuboro. [1] She is easily bored, and often will not do anything she sees as requiring too much effort. [2] She admits to only having joined Kokuboro because she liked the castle.


Kekkaishi

Like their namesake, Shirahago's human forms are a set of child-like female triplets with long, pale hair, but their speech implies that they are significantly older than they appear.

Adding a depiction of their names matched to colors.

They all wear long-sleeved kimonos (Hizuki's is pink, Fuzuki's is green, and Mizuki's is pale blue) that hide their hands, and have overly large feet. Each triplet's forehead has a different number of black dots: Hizuki has only one, Fuzuki has two, and Mizuki has three in a upward-pointing triangle pattern. When they begin to transform due to Karasumori's power, they gain dark red markings that stretch from the bottom of their eyes to their chins. [1] In their combined form, they take the form of a huge, white owl with large, orange eyes.

They are confident in their abilities and eager to fight, but detest weakness in themselves and being made to follow orders. Though they tend to argue with each other at times, there is a clear bond between them that goes beyond merely needing three members to transform. [1] The triplets are unwilling members of Kokuboro, and their greatest wish is to obtain greater power solely so they can one day be free. [2]


Kekkaishi

They all wear black, tight-fitting bodysuits and white masks. [1]

They follow Shion's orders without hesitation and communicate via high-pitched squeaks. [1] While not very expressive, they have displayed shame while Shion was upset with them, [2] and pride when she depended on their skills. [3] They are not very smart, usually doing things wrong (such as accidentally dropping a large rock on Yoshimori when ordered to put it down gently).


Kekkaishi

The spy is the first to use the Q-type human skin disguise (one of Aihi 's first models) to conceal his Ayakashi aura and body. It takes the form of a red-eyed man with dark blue hair and pale skin, dressed in a business suit. [1] The basis for the Q-type's appearance is a man that Aihi once lived with. [3] Though only briefly seen, the spy's actual body is dark green and skeletal. [2]


Kekkaishi

Tokiko is a short, older woman with gray hair that ends in a peculiar curl on her forehead. She sometimes wears reading glasses.

Tokiko enjoys teasing Shigemori Sumimura , who has been her colleague since they were young [3] , and they argue on almost a daily basis, frequently escalating into fights that their families tend to ignore. However, Tokiko takes her Kekkaishi duties very seriously. She tends to be overly critical of all Sumimura in general and she is always reminding Yoshimori Sumimura that he should be using his power, rather than letting it use him. [4] However, Tokiko's sternness toward Yoshimori especially may be because his reckless, impulsive nature reminds of her similar faults she had in her own youth. Tokiko is also a strict but effective teacher for Tokine, who despite not having Yoshimori's power, can often accurately analyze and respond in a variety of dangerous situations, usually in ways that Yoshimori either cannot or simply does not take the time to think of.
