List of Nurarihyon no Mago characters

There is a large list of characters that appear ranging from humans to demons and various factions from Nurarihyon no Mago. Among them is the Nura household of the Nura Clan which houses yōkai who follow Nurarihyon, the master of all yōkai, the Keikain House which are all practitioners of onmyōji arts, and the yōkai of Toono and Kyoto and others who serve under them.

Nura Group
The biggest yōkai faction in eastern Japan, they use the character for fear (畏) as their symbol and rule over the Kanto area. Shiibashi describes them as a yakuza yōkai group, with Nurarihyon as their leader. There are about ten thousand yōkai who are considered members of the Nura group, and the group itself has been in decline since the death of the second head, Nura Rihan (Rikuo's father).

Nura Main House
The main house for the Nura Group, located in Ukiyoe Town. It is a large, old-style Japanese mansion which is home to Rikuo, Nurarihyon and much of the main cast. It also serves as a meeting place for the heads of other yōkai clans under the Nura banner.


 * Rikuo Nura (奴良 リクオ) / Night Rikuo (ぬらりひょんの孫)
 * Rikuo is the title character and main protagonist of the series, an average 12-year old boy who inherited 1/4 of his grandfather's yōkai blood. In times of impending danger his yōkai blood awakens and he switches into his night form to become the Master of the yōkai (the master of all spirits). His yōkai form is confident, strong and inspires "Fear" amongst his allies leading many to join him. Rikuo is destined to take over as the Third Master of yōkai from his grandfather, though the main conflict for the first portion of the series lies in his rejection of the idea. As a child, Rikuo respected and looked up to yōkai, playing pranks on members of the Nura house and often declaring he would become more yōkai-like and take over as the Third. However, after a discussion at school, he came to realize the evil nature of yōkai deeds and decided to set himself firmly on the path of living a strictly human life. Since then, he has attempted to become more like a normal human by doing all sorts of good deeds. Even though he appreciates all that his yōkai underlings do for him, he is nevertheless desperate to prevent his school friends from learning of his connection to yōkai. After being tested by Gyūki he decides to take the position of Young Head and saves both humans and yōkai.


 * He is seemingly weak but very clever, easily manipulating one of the council members into isolating himself during a meeting and rationalizing against the dissolving of the Gyūki Group. He can only transform at night or in darkness and reverts to normal in sunlight. Though originally, he had no recollection of changing to his "Night" form, by the time he faced Gyūki, he was well aware of his other half and admitted that he'd been pretending to have no recollection of it in order to distance himself from the world of yōkai. Later, he is shown interacting and communicating with his "Night" form. Together they plan to form a Hyakki Yakō of their own.


 * His night (yōkai) form is confident, strong and inspires "Fear" amongst his allies leading many to join him. He decides to leave the human side of things to his "Day" form and handle the yōkai-side of things. After losing to his grandfather, he is taken to the yōkai village to train and finally learns what type of demon he is and how to gain his Fear abilities. He has departed for Kyoto to face Hagoromo Gitsune to save Yura and avenge his father. He is currently undergoing a 3-day training with Gyūki to surpass "Himself" after losing to Tsuchigumo. He seems to get stronger when his "Day" and "Night" blood mix. But now it seems as though night Rikuo and day Rikuo are one being and are not a split personality. His primary weapon is the Spirit Blade Nenekirimaru, which was designed to only harm yōkai.


 * Techniques
 * Meikyō Shisui - Makes the enemy unaware of his presence, and shifts him to the enemy's blind spot. If Rikuo's fear is cut, the technique is dissipated.

 * Kyōka Suigetsu - Distorts his enemy's perception of him by creating an illusion akin to an afterimage.
 * Matoi - Also known as "demon clad". The Sacred Act of a Hyakki Yakō, whereby a commander clothes himself in the fear of his Hyakki Yakō. Each time the technique is performed with a new yōkai, a marking will appear on Rikuo's back as a means of symbolizing the trust between him and the member of his Hyakki Yakō. Currently, he has performed this technique with four yōkai:
 * Zen - His fear coats Rikuo's sword with the poison of his wings. Represented by a pair of wing-like black markings.
 * Yuki Onna - Her fear coats Rikuo's sword in swirling patches of ice that freeze whatever they touch. Represented by a pair of snowflake-shaped markings.
 * Itaku - His fear envelops Rikuo's sword and changes it into a larger version of Itaku's own scythe. Represented by a whirlwind-shaped swirl marking.
 * Kurotabou - His fear envelop around Rikuo like a kimono. Rikuo have the ability to use Kurotabou's weapon ability.


 * Nurarihyon (ぬらりひょん)
 * Nurarihyon is Rikuo's grandfather, known as the master of all spirits or as the Supreme Commander. It is said that he plays pranks and hates humans, but he doesn't really hate them - rather, he doesn't believe humans should interfere in yōkai affairs. He dislikes the fact that Rikuo goes to school and acts human but respects his wishes.
 * 400 years ago, he fell in love with Yōhime and fought with the Hagoromo-Gitsune in Kyoto. He won and became the master of all spirits but at the cost of shortening his life span greatly. In his prime, he and Keikan Hidemoto were considered friends. Even in his old age, he can easily best "Night" Rikuo and Muchi. Normal demons feel so much "Fear" that he is invisible to them until he strikes, that is his "Meikyō Shisui".


 * Rihan Nura

She is affectionate towards Rikuo and even gets jealous when other girls pay him attention. This is also reinforced by the fact that other characters express how bad a situation would be come if Tsurara were to see what other female characters did to Rikuo. She also admires Rikuo's yōkai form, because she finds him very reliable and magnificent. She is overprotective of Rikuo when he is his "day" or human form and expresses great concern for his well being, which is the reason why she is always around him at school (which causes misunderstandings and concern on Kana's part). She also acts as a cook and, though her food is delicious, most of the time it is chilled or cold.


 * She also has a fear of Yura as she is an onmyōji and a rivalry with Kana (going so far as to nearly freeze her), however she protects as her death would sadden Rikuo. She is in Kyoto protecting the Investigation group along with Aotabō. Later, she rejoins Rikuo but is kidnapped by Tsuchigumo.

Prior to meeting (and being defeated by) Rihan Nura, he was well known as Jōshū no Gensatsushi (lit. "the string assassin of Hitachi Province") and went around killing yōkai. Though Rihan originally intended to kill him, Kubinashi was protected by Kejōrō and ended up joining Rihan's Hyakki Yakō.

The members of the Kiyo Cross Squad frequently mistake her to be Rikuo's older sister. After Rikuo was beaten at the first seal in Kyoto and went to recover and train, she kept the Hyakki Yakō motivated with the idea of not being a disappointment for Rikuo's return. She has a history with Kubinashi, and had previously traveled together with him, even offering her life to save his when he lost to Nura Rihan, the late second head and Rikuo's father.

Their symbol is two crossed feathers.


 * Zen (鴆)
 * A poisonous bird yōkai who was a childhood friend of Rikuo's. He was disappointed that upon meeting him again, Rikuo had become so soft. Like the rest of his species, he has a short lifespan and a weak constitution, but he specializes in making medicine. When he gets overly worked up, he can lapse into bloody coughing fits. After being betrayed and nearly killed, he was rescued by "Night" Rikuo, he continues to support Rikuo and is the first to exchange Sakazuki with him. He tells Rikuo to form a new "Hyakki Yakō," as most of the yōkai of the Nura house hold loyalty to the former Nura head and don't view Rikuo as their leader. Joining the large force headed to fight Haguromo-Gitsune aboard Takarabune, he broke up the battle between Kubinashi and Itaku by pouring medicine over them - and only mentioned that it was non-poisonous after the fight stopped. Rikuo later punched him for coming along with them on board of Takarabune because of his ill health.

Gyūki clan

 * Gyūki Kumi (牛鬼組)

The Gyūki clan's mansion sits atop Mt. Nejireme in Shiga Prefecture, which forms the western boundary of the Nura Group's territory.

Four hundred years ago, the Gyūki clan was one of the strongest warrior factions, and fought against the Nura clan of the time.


 * Gyūki (牛鬼)
 * Gyūki is the name given to the fearsome yōkai which lives on Mt. Nejireme, said to have the face of a cow and the body of a spider. According to legend, he disguises himself as a human and when he reveals his true appearance, it is even more dreadful than his reputation would imply.


 * The Gyūki who is part of the Nura Group was once a human named Umewakamaru and was born into a house of nobles. At the age of seven, after his father's death, he began serving at the temple on Mt. Hiei to pray for his father's soul, and it was during this time that his mother left him there and went off on her own. Though Umewakamaru showed a great aptitude for studies and learning, his peers at the temple became jealous and injured him several times. Realizing he didn't belong there and missing his mother, he snuck out of the temple and began making his way to the capital. At Ootsu, he was tricked by a pair of yōkai who claimed that his mother was ill and staying with them on Mt. Nejireme. As a result, he was eaten by the same yōkai which had devoured his mother. However, through the power of his hatred and will, he was reborn as a yōkai after his death - destroying the yōkai which had killed his mother and himself in the process. That yōkai was the previous Gyūki, and over time the yōkai who had once been Umewakamaru became known by the same name.


 * Gyūki is a high-ranked subordinate of the Nura group, and one of its board members. He was in charge of both the Kyūso Clan's attempt at relieving Rikuo of the title of Third and the attacks on Mt. Nejireme. It was revealed that this coup was meant as a test, to see if Rikuo was capable of leading the Nura Group. Though originally, he tells Rikuo to abandon his human side (as it will likely get him killed), later, Gyūki wants Rikuo to embrace both his yōkai and human aspects in order to achieve an even greater power.


 * Gozumaru (牛頭丸)
 * Gyūki clan's young head. Cool and cruel, he wields a katana and can also make large insect-like pincers spring from his back. Though able to control creatures via string, he is not as proficient with the skill as Mezumaru. During Gyūki's conspiracy against Rikuo, Gozumaru separated Rikuo and Tsurara in order to eliminate the latter. When he was about to deliver the finishing blow, Rikuo appeared and rescued Tsurara by defeating Gozumaru despite not being in full "Night" form mode. He is fiercely loyal to Gyūki and even after Gyūki's defeat and subsequent pardon, he still holds a low opinion of Rikuo. Now he lives in Nura's house as a candidate for the Gyūki clan's next leader, though his presence there is also that of a hostage as a stipulation to Gyūki's pardon. At one point, he and Mezumaru were sent to the 88 kiyakou's base on a reconnaissance mission. Disguised as tanuki, they snuck their way into a restricted area but were discovered and attacked by Tamazuki. Heavily injured, he and Mezumaru were rescued by the Sanbagarasu.

 * Mezumaru (馬頭丸)
 * Gyūki clan's young head assistant. He wears a horse's skull on the top of his head, covering his eyes and upper facial features. Though he is a guy he has a face that looks like a girl. He can control humans with string but he doesn't have any other reason to attack so he usually becomes a support for Gozumaru. He now lives in the Nura house with Gozumaru.

Bakeneko clan

 * Bakeneko Kumi (化猫組)

A clan of anthropomorphic cat yōkai who were originally put in charge of Ukiyoe Town's First District, but were later usurped by the Kyūso clan. They are a group that has existed for a long time and had built up evil deeds as gamblers before being taken under the Nura Group's wing. Under their clan's control, the First District thrived as a place for yōkai entertainment - their specialty being gambling.

He runs a host club, Club Chu near the east entrance of Ukiyoe Town's shopping district (the name of which is a pun - in Japanese, "chu" is both the sound a mouse/rat makes, and the sound of a kiss). He calls Gyūki "boss" and acts like a cheerful playboy to attract women to the club - where he and his underlings literally devour them in the basement. In reality, he is a cruel and cold-hearted rat who takes advantage of people's weaknesses. He is able to summon regular-sized rats to do his bidding, and seems to hate rejection. Kyūso kidnaps Yura and Kana to use as bait in luring out Rikuo, and declares that his clan intends to take over as leaders of the Nura clan. He orders Rikuo to send out a decree to all the Nura Group leaders stating that he retracts his claim to be the Third, threatening to kill Yura and Kana if Rikuo doesn't comply. When "Night" Rikuo and the Hyakki Yakō of the main house thwart his plans, Kyūso changes into a large grotesque rat and tries to kill Rikuo.
