List of Omamori Himari characters

The following is a list of characters from the Japanese anime and manga series Omamori Himari. The series focuses on Yuto Amakawa, the descendant of the Amakawa Family of Demon Slayers, and Himari, a cat demon who has sworn an oath to protect Yuto from the Ayakashi that are out to take his life. Omamori Himari features a wide and diverse range of characters, from humans to Demon Slayers and Ayakashi, some of which are allies. All of the main characters (except for Shizuku and Liz) are 16 years old at the start of the series.

Yuto Amakawa


Yuto Amakawa (天河 優人) is the protagonist of the series. He is the sole descendant of the Amakawa Family (天河家), one of the 12 Demon Slayer families who had fought and slain Ayakashi for hundreds of years. His parents died in a car crash when he was eight years old and he fell into a deep depression when he arrived in Takamiya until Rinko helped him out of it. He also has a terrible cat allergy, which would cause his eyes to water and his nose to run as well as causing him to sneeze uncontrollably whenever he's near one (i.e. Himari, with her human form being the only exception). He is a friendly and caring guy, but he can be uncomfortable and nervous in perverted situations or harem acts. He is also afraid of cliffs and he doesn't like to climb trees, which resulted from his childhood when he tried to climb a tree to get to Himari only for him to fall each time and when he fell from a cliff one night during his walk home, at which he suffered some physical trauma after Himari passed out using her demon powers to call for help.

Yuto spent most of his childhood with his grandparents in Noihara Village (now called Noihara City after revisiting his grandparents' home), where he used to play with Himari (as a white cat) all the time and had a very close relationship with her. He also had a close friendship with Kuesu Jinguji, who would later be his fiancée. However, due to the amount of magic in the amulet that his grandmother gave to him (an omamori), most of his childhood memories were erased, though they were later regained after his visit to his grandparents' home and his reunion with Kuesu. Upon learning that he is a Demon Slayer, he becomes hesitant in fighting Ayakashi, believing that he could somehow try to make peace with them, but after he witnesses Himari's demon side in Noihara and on Christmas Eve followed by Shuten-dōji's and Tama's appearance, he soon realizes that he needs to start fighting to preserve his way of peace.

As a descendant of the Amakawa Family, Yuto has the power of the Light Ferry (光渡し), an ability that imbues ordinary objects (such as a pole or twig) with light-based energy, turning them into powerful melee weapons equivalent to that of a legendary blade. He can also imbue other weapons, shield himself from harm, and enhance his physical senses with it. One instance is when he imbued Himari's Yasutsuna to defeat Shuten-dōji. He can also use it to trap other enemies as well, as explained by Hitsugi, once doing so against Tesuma. In order to control the Light Ferry, Yuto must keep a calm mind and have good composure. Prior to having some control over it, the Light Ferry ability only emerged when Yuto was in a near-death situation. In the anime, the Light Ferry is portrayed as a golden disk of light. Although the Amakawa Family is a higher-ranking family, they were not well-liked by the other Demon Slayer families due to their association with Ayakashi. In addition, the Light Ferry power has only been descended to the male half of the family. The kanji for "heaven" (天) is used in his family name, in reference to his family's ability.

Himari Noihara


Himari Noihara (野井原 緋鞠) is a bakeneko, a shapeshifting demon cat, and the series' deuteragonist who appears to Yuto as his bodyguard to protect him from the Ayakashi out of an ancient oath set by her ancestor, who was spared by one of the Amakawa's heads after the latter refused to kill her. She is armed with Yasutsuna (安綱), a katana that was made in the Heian period and the Amakawa's prized heirloom that was handed to her by Yuto's grandfather, and is never seen without it (though she lost it in Chapter 18-29 of the manga and episode 7-10 of the anime after her duel with Kuesu) and usually keeps it hidden inside a cloth. Because of this, she is known to the Ayakashi as Noihara's Crimson Blade (野井原の緋剣) and refers to herself as a "Protective Sword" (護り刀). She is usually seen wearing traditional Japanese clothes and always wears a large pink bow in the back of her hair to hold her ponytail in place. She is very close to Yuto, whom she refers to as "Young Master" (若殿), and is very flirtatious, often annoying Rinko to no end. The reason being is that she and Yuto got along well in Noihara during Yuto's childhood, at which she was a white cat at the time. In spite of this, she is very serious about her duty as a bodyguard and is willing to protect Yuto by any means necessary, even willing to sacrifice herself to ensure his safety.

As a bakeneko, Himari can shapeshift from human to cat (the latter in which she can also talk in) and she can also reveal her cat ears and tail while in her human form. Because she's a cat, she shares some of their natural instincts, such as being scared of water (save for when she's taking a bath or shower), having a penchant for seafood, and being very sensitive to winter temperatures. Aside, Himari has superhuman speed, strength, and endurance in addition to her expert swordsmanship and she is extremely agile due to her cat-like nature. She is also proficient with other bladed weapons as well (once using a scythe against Ageha in the anime) and is also skilled in close-range combat. Her abilities are weakened if she's near a Shinto temple, allowing even Rinko to beat her in an instant without using her full strength. When Himari loses her sanity during a fight, she goes on a berserker rampage, which is depecited by her having red eyes, an uncontrollable bloodlust, and (in the anime only) a dark aura surrounding her body. Shizuku states that it is part of her kind's true nature—a demon who gains pleasure from hunting and losing herself in bloodshed, and that the more she fights, the more she reverts to her kind's killer instincts to the point that she loses herself completely.

During her final battle with Tama in the anime, Himari gives her heart in to the darkness inside of her, allowing her to assume a demonic form called Ayakashi Himari (妖緋鞠), which consists of her black hair turning to its original white color (it was revealed in an omake of the manga that she dyed it black to match Kuesu's hair color ), her skin turning pale with black markings, and having red claws and a bushier tail. Himari's demon powers are unleashed to their full potential while in this state and she gains the ability to perform powerful claw swipes from a distance, though she is exteremely dangerous once she begins to lose herself, attacking anyone that comes in her sight. After she was brought back to normal by Yuto and Shuten-dōji assumes his Oni form, Yuto imbues her Yasutsuna with his Light Ferry ability, allowing her to assume a powered-up form called Super Himari (スーパー緋鞠), which consists of her wearing revealing samurai-like garments. In this state, she gains the ability of levitation and can slice the strongest of demons in two with a single blow.

Rinko Kuzaki


Rinko Kuzaki (九崎 凛子) is Yuto's tomboyish childhood friend and next-door neighbor and the tritagonist of the series. She had a very close friendship with Yuto, as she helped him out of his depression when he first moved to Takamiya and cried along with him when his parents died during their childhood. She also had close feelings for Yuto until Himari and the other girls appeared, causing her to display yandere traits as a result of their constant flirting, and suffers from an inferiority complex from their well-endowed breasts (sans Shizuku), as hers are still growing. Rinko always tends to ruin every perverted moment between them and Yuto by hitting the latter with her signature nail bat (or any other object she could find) despite the fact that Yuto had nothing to with it in the first place. Despite all of this, she still wants to support Yuto to the very end even if he does become a full-fledged Demon Slayer, as she believes the she is the only person good for him due to their long relationship and that all he ever wanted was a normal life.

Rinko is always seen wearing two red ribbons in her hair; a tradition involving them is that, every year during a summer festival, Yuto would buy her a new pair for her to wear year round and she would tie last year's ribbons to a treebranch. She owns a pet cat named Ranmaru (蘭丸).

Shizuku


Shizuku (静水久) is a Mizuchi, a water dragon deity, in the form of a green-haired child with red eyes. She first meets Yuto at a lake, where she warns him to deviate from his Demon Slayer heritage or face death before disappearing into a puddle of water. However, after seeing Yuto's kindness during her battle with Himari, she becomes puzzled about him and, in an attempt to understand him more, invites herself to live in his house, where she becomes the lolicon of Yuto's harem by flirting with him on multiple occasions. She bore a longtime grudge against the Demon Slayers as a result of her family being killed by the Jibashiri Family 100 years prior to the series' start, but lets go of it during an intervention from Yuto and Himari after meeting one of the descendants of the now-extinct Jibashiri Demon Slayers. She is often portrayed with a stoic demeanor even when flirting with Yuto, but it can quickly change to a murderous grin when her desire to kill emerges. She often ends her sentences with "nano" (〜なの) and is often shown being drenched with water.

As a Mizuchi, Shizuku can manipulate water and ice and use it as a weapon or a shield, even using it to heal the wounds of others, once doing so with Yuto after Himari's battle with Ageha. However, if the water is mixed in with another Ayakashi's blood, she cannot control it. She can also regenerate her body after being sliced in two and her hair extends whenever her desire to kill emerges. She is also very sensitive to variations in temperature, as she is cold-blooded, and needs to cool down in the summer by eating shaved ice or other frozen treats and needs to warm up in the winter by staying in warm places (such as hiding in a kotatsu). She can also extend her snake-like tongue to great lengths. She states that her kind were excellent housekeepers prior to the Demon Slayers' arrival and is very adept at cooking and cleaning as a result.

Lizlet L. Chelsie


Lizlet L. Chelsie (リズリット・L・チェルシー), nicknamed Liz by the others, is a Tsukumogami, an inamimate object that comes to life after a hundred years, that came to Japan from England as an antique teacup, her human form being a blonde girl with blue eyes wearing a maid's outfit, and has the most well-endowed breasts of all of the female characters. She works as a waitress at Café Relish (カフェ・リリッシュ), a popular tea café in which she also resides in. Liz describes herself as a "Spirit of Tea" due to her expertise with it (to the extent of having a garden that contains numerous types of tea leaves ) and has a pacifist nature, and gets intimidated easily when she sees someone powerful, often resulting in her being the series' comic relief.

Liz first met Yuto and company at Café Relish when the latter heard that Himari got a job there. When she got suspicious of Yuto's constant watching, she believed that he was an excorcist trying to kill her with Himari as his accomplice and, in a panic, spiked his tea with poison tea leaves, which was soon foiled by Shizuku tasting it (in the anime, the magic in the leaves forces whoever drinks it to leave, as shown when Taizo drank from it ). After her true identity was discovered during her fight with Himari, she tried to protect her real body from breaking but failed to recover it after Himari lost her grip on it until Yuto caught it at the last minute, saving her. Soon after the misunderstanding was cleared, Liz took a perverse liking to Yuto, seeing him as her "Special Customer" and "Master" to the others' annoyance, even to the extent of serving him "Milk Tea", in which she hugs her breasts every time she says it, suggesting she means her breast milk, and often flirts with him whenever he comes to visit.

Liz can use her magic tea leaves to attack her opponents as well as defend herself when needed and is shown to have feats of superhuman strength, as she once managed to throw Yuto at a high altitude without much stress during his training session. Because her human body is an illusion, she is immune to any damage caused by a bladed weapon, where it would just regenerate at the site of damage (her body, not her clothes). However, because Liz's human body is symbiotic to her real body, she feels whatever the teacup is feeling, meaning that if the teacup breaks, her human body will suffer the same fate. This was demonstrated in one chapter of the manga when Himari rubs and licks her teacup while she was sleeping, causing Liz to feel the same effects as a result.

Kuesu Jinguji


Kuesu Jinguji (神宮寺 くえす) is the heiress of the Jinguji Family (神宮寺家), a Demon Slayer family that uses Western dark magic, and Yuto's fiancée, stating that both of their families had promised their future marriage. She is condescending towards Ayakashi, believing that all of them must be killed regardless if they're friendly, and, unlike Yuto, is fully trained in her Demon Slayer heritage, causing her to be very arrogant and haughty at times. She also has an enduring rivalry with Himari over Yuto when they first met each other in a forest, telling Himari to stay away from him, and made Yuto allergic to cats using her magic so she doesn't get close to him. Prior to leaving for England to study magic, she and Yuto made a promise to each other to fight Ayakashi together, with Yuto promising to always watch her back. Like the other girls, she, too, has feelings for Yuto, but displays it in a tsundere fashion due to him befriending Ayakashi, to her which is contradictory of his duties as a Demon Slayer, and slowly begins to accept the Ayakashi siding with him as her comrades, though this does not change her views about them. She was previously in Palladium Garden, one of Matra's earlier hentai works, prior to her appearance in the series and she dresses in gothic lolita fashion.

Kuesu is on unfriendly terms with the other Demon Slayer families, as her family was looked down upon by them and the Ayakashi as heretics and outcasts for using Western magic. The only Demon Slayer family that didn't look down to them, however, was the Amakawa Family and because they were one of the higher-ranking families, the Jinguji Family tried to make allies with them through marriage, although it has been stated by Himari that both families would cease to exist without a successor should they succeed. One of Kuesu's notable features is the crescent-shaped mark on her forehead, similar to the one that often appears on Sailor Moon's Usagi Tsukino. Because of this and her relentless killing of Ayakashi, she is given the infamous title of "Twilight Moon" (黄昏の月). Another notable feature is her white hair. It was originally black, but it turned that color as a result of her casting a forbidden magic spell to stop an evil cult that released a demon during her time in England.

As a descendant of the Jinguji Family, Kuesu can cast various dark magic spells through her spellbook, such as creating spheres of energy and controlling fire and wind, though she can easily cast these spells without it and claims that her magical powers are powerful as that of 10 people. She also has the ability to teleport and wields a Stechkin APS machine pistol loaded with magic bullets as her personal sidearm (in the anime, she wields a M1911 semi-automatic pistol instead). Similar to the Amakawa Family's power, the Jinguji Family's dark magic has been only passed down to the female members of the family.

Demon Slayers
The Demon Slayers (鬼斬り役) are humans with supernatural powers and abilities with the duty to slay Ayakashi, which has been their primary purpose for hundreds of years. The Demon Slayers were established by the feudal lords who despised the Ayakashi and because of this, most of the surviving Ayakashi bore a grudge against them for their near-extinction. The Demon Slayers consists of twelve families, each family having their own unique powers and abilities, like the Amakawa Family with their Light Ferry ability and the Jinguji Family with their dark magic. Out of the twelve families in feudal times, less than half of the families remain in existence in present times. Each Demon Slayer family is sorted by rank, with the Jinguji Family being at the bottom (#12) and the Tsuchimikado Family (土御門家) at the top (#1).

Ranka Mikari
Ranka Mikari (三雁 藍華) is a descendant of the Jibashiri Family (地走家) (it has been stated by Kuesu that her family name has changed ) and Kuesu's friend that appeared in Chapters 31-33 of the manga. Her Jibashiri ancestors channeled the power of the Earth, giving them superhuman strength. They were later wiped out in the front lines of the Great War (World War I), but there are a few descendants like her (those without their powers) that survived. Her ancestors were also responsible for killing Shizuku's family 100 years prior to the series' start. Kuesu brought her out so that Shizuku could have her revenge, which almost succeeded hadn't it been for Yuto and Himari intervening. After the fight ends with Shizuku letting go of her grudge, she states that she would be on Yuto's side should her powers awaken before she leaves. Her former family name (Jibashiri) means "Ground Runners".

Kagamimori Sisters
Kasuri Kagamimori (各務森 飛白) and Hisuzu Kagamimori (各務森 飛鈴) are the Demon Slayers of the Kagamimori Family (各務森家), a family that uses Shinto magic to seal Ayakashi within mirrors and have been the only Demon Slayer family to do so. They are both mikos of the Kagamimori Shrine and had met with both Himari and Kaya in the past when the latter visited their shrine prior to the series' start. Kasuri, the current head of the Kagamimori family, holds the "Eye of the Beast" (獣の目), which is located in her left eye. Hisuzu, Kasuri's younger sister, is sometimes hot-blooded and arrogant, often requiring Kasuri to calm her down and, like most of the Demon Slayer families, looks down to the Kuesu and her family. The first two kanji in their family name translates to "mirror" (各務), in reference to their family's ability.

Hitsugi Yakoin
Hitsugi Yakoin (夜光院 柩) is the detective-like Demon Slayer of the Yakoin Family (夜光院家), a family that has the ability to analyze and gather information quicker than a normal human, which Himari states is similar to having the ability of seeing into the future. However, it causes sensory overload from the loss of brain cells, causing many of them to die as a result. She made her debut appearance in Chapter 38 of the manga when she aided Yuto during his training session with Himari by predicting her oncoming moves. She was after Tesuma of the Sentoro, using Yuto and Himari as bait to lure him out so she can kill him through a series of wire traps set up in the forest. After his defeat, she told Himari that she will eventually die. She gets a visit from Kuesu at her office in Chapter 40, eventually telling the latter that she is looking down on Yuto and the others and mentioning her and her family's lust for power. It remains unclear of what her current intentions are at this point.

Gennosuke and Sawako Amakawa


Gennosuke Amakawa (天河 源之介) and Sawako Amakawa (天河 佐和子) were Yuto's grandparents that lived in Noihara and Himari's caretakers, with Gennosuke being a Demon Slayer in his younger days before he retired. Prior to Yuto moving to Takamiya with his parents, Sawako gave him an omamori which, unknown to the latter at the time, had a magic spell that hid his Demon Slayer blood from the Ayakashi until his sixteenth birthday and Gennosuke was the one who bestowed Yasutsuna to Himari prior to his death. Yuto later revisits their house, now turned into a Bhuddist shrine, with Himari and the others and, upon seeing their tombstone, pays their respects to them, not realizing they were dead due him being separated from them by his parents. Himari refers to them as "Gen-ji" (Grandpa Gen) and "Sawa-ba" (Grandma Sawa) respectively.

Sae Kisaragi


Sae Kisaragi (如月 冴) is Yuto, Rinko, and Himari's schoolteacher. She always seems to catch Yuto in an erotic act with a girl and is passively supportive of whatever erotic acts the students do as long as they do it outside of class. She is also a smoker, which was shown when she preferred the smoking section upon entering Café Relish, of which she is a regular customer in and is on friendly terms with Liz. Rinko sometimes call her "Sae-chan", which she detests. It is currently hinted that she may be an Ayakashi, as Yuto explained that the customers forgot everything that happened at Café Relish when she was present. This is further implied later on when she told her colleague Yuko Akutsu (阿久津 悠子) that she's not a human.

Taizo Masaki


Taizo Masaki (柾木 泰三) is Yuto's best friend and classmate. He is a shameless pervert who is attracted to almost any beautiful girl he sees, often resulting in him getting beat up for his actions. He is attracted to Himari as well as Shizuku, one time asking Himari to be his model for his art sketch only to be rejected to his disappointment and when he convinces both of them to be contestants in a swimsuit pageant he organized at the school festival.

Class Representative


The Class Representative (いいんちょ) is a bespectacled classmate at Yuto's school, with her real name remaining a mystery. She gets along well with Yuto and Rinko (abeit from the fact she has larger breasts than the latter) and often jokes around with them when it comes to romantic topics, especially their close relationship with each other. She is also shown to be an otaku, once doing a witch cosplay at the school festival. Like Rinko, she, too, doesn't tolerate Taizo's pervertedness, which was shown in one chapter when she, along with Rinko, drowned him for peeping at girls underwater.

Hyogo Kaburagi


Hyogo Kaburagi (鏑木 兵吾) is a secretary working for Public Safety Division 4 (警備局公安4課), a secret government department working behind the scenes to exterminate Ayakashi, which has been their objective for hundreds of years. He is assigned to Kuesu, his job trying to keep any activity between the Demon Slayers and the Ayakashi away from the public. He frequently has to deal with her arrogance and is a bit concerned with her antics, once asking her how many bullets she fired from her duel with Himari. He later appears to recruit Yuto into his department, revealing to him and the others news about a cannibalistic Ayakashi, only for the latter to decline his offer.

In the anime, he left Kuesu and went to Shuten-dōji and Tama, orchestrating behind the scenes the events that will eventually lead to Himari's final battle with Tama. Because they both share similar but different goals (Kaburagi wants the Ayakashi exteminated, while Shuten-dōji and Tama want to devour them to regain their full strength), he managed to reach an agreement with them that they can proceed with their plan, but they must not harm any humans as part of his deal. It was later broken after Tama's defeat by Ayakashi Himari when Shuten-dōji betrayed him and injured him, having used him from the start. In the final episode's end credits, he is seen returning to Kuesu with a cast on his right arm. It was revealed in the manga that he has a wife and a daughter, which was mentioned by Kuesu when she stated at her Chiristmas party that he left to pose as Santa Claus for his daughter.

Ayakashi
The Ayakashi are demons and spirits based on Japanese mythology and folklore. They once coexisted with the humans until the Demon Slayers arrived and killed most of them. As a result, the surviving Ayakashi bore a deep hatred towards the Demon Slayers. Most Ayakashi, like Himari and Shizuku, can assume human forms to blend in with society and some Ayakashi, like Shuten-dōji and Ageha, can cast barriers and spells using their yōki (妖力). Although many Ayakashi serve as antagonists, there are some, like Kaya, Kagetsuki, Aya, and Kofuyu, who serve as allies.

Japan's Three Great Evil Demons
Among the Ayakashi are three powerful Ayakashi known as Japan's Three Great Evil Demons (日本三大悪妖怪), consisting of Shuten-dōji, Tamamo-no-Mae, and Emperor Sutoku. They were sealed by humans in ancient times and parts of them were spread throughout Japan until it was broken by Tama's awakening and Shuten-dōji's revival. It is currently unknown if Emperor Sutoku remained sealed after the seal was broken.

Tamamo-no-Mae


Tamamo-no-Mae (玉藻前), referred to others as Tama (タマ), is a golden white-faced nine-tailed fox and the series' major antagonist, her human form being a small blond-haired child with four curls in the back of her hair. She is a very powerful Ayakashi despite her cute and childish appearance, but because she is not as powerful as she was due to her being sealed, she eats other Ayakashi to restore her yōkai powers, once devouring an entire countryside of them in her first appearance. She initially had her eyes set on Himari, but when she first tried to eat her, she states that she wasn't delicious because she was holding back her true nature as an Ayakashi. As such, she sends numerous Ayakashi in an attempt for Himari to show her her true power, which almost succeeded during the Christmas Eve fight. She is displayed as a quiet girl who rarely speaks, having Shuten-dōji speak for her on most occasions, and is always seen eating something, be it another Ayakashi or some sweets. In the anime, she is defeated by Himari in her Ayakashi form but survives and is last seen in Yuto's house eating lunch with the other girls.

Tama has the ability to levitate, use telekinesis to move large objects or trap her opponents, and can generate force fields powerful enough to break a single sword on impact. When she changes into her fox form, a large ring with nine smaller rings appears around her neck, with the flame inside of each ring representing the number of tails she has. In Chapters 40-43 of the manga, she reveals herself in her adult form while Yuto and the others are in a ski resort owned by Yuki, though she reverts to her child form after a series of attacks from Yuto and company followed by being sliced by Himari.

Shuten-dōji


Shuten-dōji (酒呑童子) is a powerful Oni ruler from ancient times. After he was awakened by Tama's yōki, he swore vengeance against the human race and is condescending towards them as a result, finding them in modern times weak and pathetic. Because he is incomplete, he uses Tama's yōki from the Ayakashi she devours to help regain his power so he can have his revenge. He may appear as a well-dressed young man, but he is a very powerful demon that is agile and fast enough to sense the presence of incoming attacks. Tama is usually seen riding on his shoulder and he usually does most of the talking for her.

In the anime, after Tama was defeated by Ayakashi Himari, he planned to use the latter to put the human race in a state of fear, only to have that foiled when Yuto brought her back to normal and soon met his end by being incapacitated and sliced in two by Super Himari after he assumed his Oni form.

Kaya


Kaya (加耶) is a Zashiki-warashi that lives at Yuto's grandparents' house. She is extremely fond of Himari, as she once lived with her when Yuto's grandparents were alive, but does not like Yuto to the point that she would rather have him dead because Himari wouldn't have to leave her by herself. She is usually seen either cleaning up the house or reading books and scrolls in the storehouse. Kaya once provided Shizuku with the Amakawa's family book, which held information about the family itself and Himari's ancestors at the latter's rqeuest, and (in the anime only) provided Yuto and Rinko brief information about Shuten-dōji and Tama. She can generate a force field around herself and other people in her vincitiy to repel enemy attacks.

Ageha


Ageha (明夏羽) is a Hinoenma (飛縁魔), a Japanese succubus who feeds off the blood of men (akin to a vampire's), that attempted to kill Yuto and Himari in a nearby lake in Noihara. However, after Yuto blocks her finishing blow that was meant for Himari, she is almost killed by the latter in her demon rampage until Yuto intervened with the awakening of the Light Ferry. After the incident, she begins to display tsundere traits and later returns to drink his blood under a bridge. However, she found herself so intoxicated by it that she actually tried to violate him until Himari and Shizuku intervene. After Sasa stops the fight at Rinko's request, she leaves with him not before telling Yuto that she'll drink his blood next time. In the anime, she retains her role as a minor antagonist, but becomes a minor supporting character following Shuten-dōji and Tama's appearance and repeatedly tries to drink Yuto's blood (which how she says is an euphemism for sex).

In her first appearance, she wears an outfit similar to that worn by mikos, but has a sleeveless kimono top with the sleeves located on her forearms in addition to her having boots and a beret-like hat. In her second appearance, she wears modern-day clothing, consisting of her wearing a violet tube top underneath a tan jacket, a miniskirt, silver and black boots, and violet sunglasses. She can stretch her limbs to unimaginable lengths, use pyrokinesis, and hypnotize her victims with her eyes. She can increase her powers by drinking the blood of a Demon Slayer, but the blood itself must have enough time to mix in properly; if she uses too much power while it is still mixing, she will be paralyzed for a short period. She wields a single-edged sword modeled after a kunai as her personal weapon, which was broken in the anime by Tama's force field when Himari wielded it.

Sasa


Sasa (沙砂) is an ippon-datara (一本ダタラ), a monopedal cyclops-like demon that lives in mountains. He is Ageha's accomplice that attacked Shizuku, Kaya, and Rinko at Yuto's grandparents' house and was almost killed by Shizuku until he was spared when the latter saw Yuto's Light Ferry ability. In his second appearance, he assumes a bipedal form and a rather feminine-looking appearance. After Rinko took him out to eat ice cream at Café Relish, he stopped the fight between Ageha and Himari at her request. Sasa can summon giant pillars from the sky to crush his opponents, increase his mass at will, and fire energy beams from his eye. It is mentioned by Ageha in the anime that his kind are excellent swordsmiths. As such, he can repair and restore broken swords to their original condition and strength. He is rather childish and playful at times, which was shown in his first appearance when he created a "game" with the falling pillars, stating whoever gets crushed by them loses, and in his second appearance when he/she wanted to have a piggyback ride with Rinko upon falling on the latter.

In the anime, Sasa is bipedal in both of his appearances and his gender has been changed to a girl, as his mentioning of him being a boy was omitted. Also, like Ageha, he/she becomes a minor supporting character and plays a key role in restoring Himari's Yasutsuna by shooting it with his/her eye, something that was originally done by Kuesu in the manga by recreating it through some sort of time magic.

Kagetsuki
Kagetsuki (影月) is a Kasha, a cat-like monster that steals and devours corpses, with his human form bearing a strong resemblance to L Lawliet from Death Note. He made his debut appearance in Chapter 16 of the manga when he rescues Shizuku from Kuesu's fire spells and later becomes Yuto, Himari and Shizuku's informant. He is one of the monsters that likes to be an ally to Yuto due to his kindness, leading to a time that he once killed an Ayakashi for Yuto right after he awakens his Light Ferry power, saying that he was not ready to fight monsters due to him making them his allies. Aside from his human form bearing a physical resemblance to "L", he also has the same personality as the latter, being calm, smart, having good composure, and being quiet most of the time. His name means "Shadow Moon".

Aya


Aya (文) is a fugurama-yōbi (文車妖妃), a spirit messenger, working under Kaya's wing. Her original form is a magical envelope that can be used to summon her in her human form, which consists of her having long blue hair with matching eyes wearing a long light blue yukata. She makes her first appearance in Chapter 21 of the manga (episode 8 of the anime) when Himari was looking for a replacement weapon from Noihara's vaults, as she lost Yasutsuna during her battle with Kuesu, and again in Kuesu's hotel room after the field set around the hotel was broken when the latter was pushed back towards the window by Yuto's Light Ferry powers, vomiting out numerous weapons for Himari to use. Aya can store multiple objects inside her stomach and regurgitate them when necessary to the disgust of anyone who witnesses it.

Kofuyu
Kofuyu (小冬) is a Yuki-onna who owns a ski resort on Mount Hakugin. She invited Yuto and company to her ski resort to stop Tama, as she, like Yuto, wanted humans and Ayakashi to coexist. She has also taken quite a liking to Yuto, once flirting with him in an onsen underneath the ski lodge. She can control ice and snow and use it to trap her opponents, once doing so against Tama in her adult form.

Other Ayakashi

 * Tsuchigumo (土蜘蛛)
 * A spider demon that possessed Taizo and attacked Yuto and Rinko on the school rooftop. Himari managed to expel it from Taizo's body before she kills it by impaling it in front of a water tower. During its possession, Taizo's skin became blue and numerous leg-like projections protrude from his body. He can also fire energy spheres while in this state. It is an anime-exclusive Ayakashi, as its spider form was never shown in the manga, only appearing as a floating mass of fog that was later pierced by Himari.
