Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan/Characters

Nura Clan
The clan to which Rikuo and his Nakama belong to. Created by Rikuo's grandfather and later led by his father, the Nura clan rules over eastern Japan. There are about ten thousand youkai in the clan's ranks, divided into roughly 70 sub-groups. The group is kind of like a youkai yakuza, getting its funds from land gods who pay for protection (land gods in turn get money from offerings humans leave at their shrines) and members providing various services for both youkai and humans.

Rikuo Faction
The group of Rikuo's Nakama who support him as the candidate for the third Head. They form Rikuo's Hyakki Yakō, and support him during battle. Its members wear black jackets with the symbol for "fear" emblazoned on the back, which can only be worn by those Rikuo has acknowledged. The first members of Rikuo's group were his bodyguards.

Rikuo Nura
""Being the master of all spirits doesn't mean piling the corpses of your clan on top of you!!""

The protagonist of the manga, Rikuo is a human-youkai hybrid and the grandson of Nurarihyon, the leader of the Nura clan. As such, he is entitled to become the third head of the clan. Since he is a quarter youkai, Rikuo spends the day as a human and turns into a youkai at night. His day and night form have a bit of a Split Personality going on, as they often have different opinions on many subjects, though it was more apparent in the beginning.

As a Nurarihyon, Rikuo possesses power over the perception of others, allowing him to become functionally invisible or appear where he isn't. Additionally, his mixed lineage allows him to wear the "fear" of his followers, resulting in a Fusion Dance of sorts.

Voiced by: Chikao Ohtsuka (his current form) and Koji Yusa (his past form) The Supreme Commander of the Nura Clan, he's also Rihan's father and Rikuo's grandfather.

He and his descendants can ramp it up to create functional invisibility, for use in combat, stealing, and dine and dashes.
 * What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Nurarihyon is described as "A yokai that sits in someones house and drinks their tea," which sounds pretty lame when you first think about it. Essentially this is the ability to enter and leave without being noticed. But since it ends up being a kind of invisibility, it turns out that Heart Is an Awesome Power.
 * Also lampshaded in the manga, where everyone pretty much reacts by going "Wut?"

Not exactly part of the Kyoto youkai, he only helps Hagoromo Gitsune because he wants to fight powerful adversaries. He is often likened to natural disasters like typhoons, earthquakes and plague.

Hyaku Monogatari Clan
Can be considered as the main antagonist group of the series together with the Kyoto youkai, since Hyaku Monogatari Clan is behind almost all the incidents Rikuo and his group faced.

Sanmoto Gorōzaemon
""I Absolutely will become a buddha... I will not be destroyed... even if this vessel of flesh is gone... I will inherit all the Fear in the world!!""

The leader of the Hyaku Monogatari clan, he was original an ordinary, albeit gigantic and obese, human merchant living in Edo. Having grown bored of the usual entertainment, however, he acquired the Hyakki Teakettle and devised the creation of a Hyaku Monogatari to gather fear into it and use the fear to control Edo.However, when he was killed during a Nura clan assault, he made himself a yokai, which transformed himself and his bodyparts into yōkai. While his main body and consciousness ended up in hell, the yōkai who comprised the rest of his body remained to cause chaos. The strongest among them even seemed to develop their own consciousnesses.


 * Body Horror / Squick: Freaking huge and ugly and fat even as a normal human, and his transformation MELTED AND SPLITTED HIS FLESH INTO HUNDRED PARTS, which in turn become grotesque Yokai themselves. Example:
 * Minagoroshi Jizou (Sanmoto's left eye) (in the middle).
 * Maou's Hammer, which is a katana sword with numerous slimey tentacles, started out as his heart that he pulled out.
 * Chekhov's Boomerang
 * Enchou (Sanmoto's mouth) (on the right)
 * Kyosai (Sanmoto's hand)
 * Sanmoto's Duodenum looks like it wandered out of one of Junji Ito's nightmares. In the present time, "she" got a human disquise and went by the name of "Akujiki no Nokaze".
 * Dumb Muscle: Probably the dumbest of the body parts that gained consciousnesses. She is more of a beast than an intelligent being when she really goes wild.
 * Elite Mook
 * Glass Cannon
 * I'm a Humanitarian: One half of her powers.
 * Rubber Woman: The other half of her powers.
 * More of Sanmoto's body parts
 * Another three body parts of Sanmoto
 * Raiden (Sanmotos bones) and Tamasaburo (Sanmoto's facial skin)
 * A baby like demon that was found after the death of his largest bodypart.
 * Big Bad Ensemble/Hive Mind/Mental Fusion: This seems to be what are turning out to be, working towards the same goals, but doing it in their own way.  is a special example in that he is.
 * Brainwashed: What he does to others who drink the Conquerors tea. Kurotabō was one of them.
 * Complete Monster: Was probably one when he was a human. His body parts after he became a demon are definitely this though.
 * Corrupt Merchant
 * Dirty Coward: Was one as a human. His body parts after he became a demon are not.
 * Emergency Transformation: How he became a yokai.
 * Fat Bastard, Villainous Glutton, Gonk, then finally Dead Weight.
 * Five-Bad Band: The body parts who were made into excecutives (and Yanagida) can be considered this:
 * The Big Bad:
 * Co-Dragons: Enchou (Sanmoto's Mouth) and Kyosai (Sanmoto's Hand). Yanagida may also count.
 * The Evil Genius: Minagoroshi Jizou (Sanmoto's Left Eye)
 * The Brute: Raiden (Sanmoto's Bones)
 * The Dark Chick: Tamasaburo (Sanmoto's Facial Skin)
 * The Sixth Ranger: Yanagida (the unofficial Ears of Sanmoto), though he could also be counted as another Dragon.
 * From Smug Snake Coward To Nightmare
 * Shout-Out: His "mutated" form looks rather like the god-thing in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
 * Smug Snake: Sanmoto was one as a human when he desired to become a Buddha. His body parts after he became a demon are not.
 * From Smug Snake Coward To Nightmare
 * Shout-Out: His "mutated" form looks rather like the god-thing in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

 * Body Horror:
 * Chekhov's Gunman
 * Evil Weapon: Maou's Hammer is usually in his possession when it's not lent out to an affiliated enemy or another one of his clan.
 * : He doesn't appear to have any fighting ability, just the power of sensing what the other body parts were up to. He is also the part that is the most connected to Sanmoto and is the one who cares about his revival the most.

He possessed, taking advantage of the latter's weakness. The possessed battled against Yura and Ryuuji but ultimately lost. Jizou survived however, and regrouped with Hagoromo Gitsune.
