Kekkaishi

Yoshimori Sumimura

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Barrier Warrior: Shield and club really
  • Bunny Ears Lawyer: He gets worked up often over minor things, and is a little too preoccupied with cake, but he's good at asploding ayakashi.
  • Determinator: Boundless energy andn drive is his greatest strength. Its pointed out by his Madarou.
  • Hiroyuki Yoshino
  • Hair-Trigger Temper
  • I Am Not Left-Handed: Inverted "A lion boils even a rabbit with all its strength!" he goes all out even on punny ayakashi.
  • Idiot Hero: Somewhat. In most series he'd probably be considered a fairly smart fighter; he just stands out here because everyone else fights very intelligently and he tends to fight through instinct and pure power too often. His older brother and Tokine are the major foils.
  • The Messiah: Veers this way sometimes.
  • Must Have Caffeine: or coffee flavored milk.
  • Sitting on the Roof: He has a favorite spot to nap and everything.
  • Sweet Tooth: All those cakes....
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Coffee milk.
  • Triple Shifter
  • Unskilled but Strong: He has ridiculous amounts of power, but bad aim and form.
  • Vic Mignogna
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Once from Tokine for intentionally getting captured by Kokuboro, forcing his allies to endanger themselves to rescue him, and from Tokiko, minus a slap, for trying to save the school from an ayakashi swarm with a technique he had NO IDEA how to use and probably would have ended up killing everyone.

Tokine Yukimura

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Action Girl
  • Barrier Warrior
  • Combat Pragmatist: Observe the enemy, find any weaknesses, and then bring them down at the first opportunity.
  • Cry Cute: In the final episode.
  • Disappeared Dad: Her dad dies pre-series.
  • Laura Bailey, again playing a girl with the last name of Yukimura.
  • Scars Are Forever: Has one on her hand after protecting Yoshimori from a demon
  • Skirt Over Slacks
  • Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
  • Tsundere: Mild version. Alternates between fanship fodder moments with Yoshimori, treating him as a coworker/classmate treating him like a kid brother, treating him like an annoying kid brother, beating him up for annoying her, and beating him up while crying her eyes out for worrying him, then playing the trope as straight as possible by beating him up while trying to apologize to him.
  • Weak but Skilled: She isn't as strong as Yoshimori, but she's more accurate than he is.
    • to the point that her signature style switches from giant kekkai that she implodes around ayakashi to small, thin kekkai that she uses to stab them and hold them in place.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's terrified of cockroaches. Probably not helped by the bug ayakashi that scarred her hand as a child, but fear of cockroaches also runs in the family.
  • Yamato Nadeshiko: The rest of the school thinks she is. The main characters and her best friend know better.However, she does perform tea ceremonies with her grandmother in traditional clothing.

Zen Kagemiya

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Bishonen: The girls at school love him.
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: The bane of his existence. Also makes some of the male bonding scenes between him and Yoshimori even more confusing.
  • Femme Fatalons: male example
  • Half-Human Hybrid
  • Handsome Lech
  • The Smart Guy: From time to time, Yoshimori decides that his best plan is just to tell Zen what his goals are, then do whatever Zen says.
  • Telepathy: Limited by several things. Kekkaishi and possibly some other ability users block it and even detect or interfere with it. It also provokes a red right hand in the form of his eyes flashing demonic when he uses it. This is worse than it sounds as he needs to be close for it to work. Lastly, Zen is afraid that he will be ostracized even by the other Yagyou if they find out he is able to read their minds, so he does his best to conceal his ability, even when he has information that he desperately would like to share.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

The Sousui / Oumi Nichinaga

How to best describe this sadistic little Really Seven Hundred Years Old Big Bad? Well, for starters he lost his memory and is always trying to get it back, and at the same time wants some sweet revenge on that evil big brother of his. How does he want to go about this? KILL EVERYONE IN THE URAKAI. Together with his Numbered minions, he masterminds and manipulates events behind the scenes as The King, an aged man, and as his current container, a young boy who can best be described as Little Mister High Octane Nightmare Fuel.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Abel and Cain: You might think Yumeji / Tsukihisa is the Abel to his Cain at first. Turns out, in comparison, Tsukihisa is much, much worse than Nichinaga could ever be.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: when his real motivations and the circumstances were revealed, it was VERY difficult not to feel sorry for him.
  • Complete Monster: At first, when nobody knew why he was doing anything. Turned out, this trope more applies to his elder brother, who is not even his real brother.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: might not look like it, but he adores his minions. And especially Suigetsu. Oh, especially Suigetsu.
  • Evil vs. Evil
  • Heel Realization: [[spoiler: when his big brother possesses his favorite minion and sets wheels of plots in motion to make him essentially lose everything again, he remembers, its reveal bombed what happened, Nichinaga repents with death.
  • Hellish Pupils: with two irises in fact, that make him seriously unnerving.
  • Sugar and Ice: to Suigetsu. He loves her, a lot. He just really doesn't show it much until the end.
  • Redemption Equals Death: He decides to repent for all his wrong doings by taking his unbelievably evil brother to death with him.
  • Sugar and Ice: to Suigetsu. He loves her, a lot. He just really doesn't show it much until the end.

The Kokubourou

Aihi

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Byaku

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Badass
  • Badass Long Hair
  • Bishonen
  • Extreme Doormat
  • Lack of Empathy: Oh my God. One of the creepiest examples ever. He routinely treats Hime, the only being for whom he probably ever felt anything, so coldly, that you would be forgiven for thinking he has some sinister plan for her, and will discard her the instant she's not needed for it anymore (as he treats his minions). Actually, Byaku sincerely wishes to heal Hime, it's just that he so out of touch with others' emotions, that not only his reaction to his wife's bout of depression - after he disfigured her in an attempt to extend her life by magic - was calmly helping her to kill herself, he also simply fails to see why anyone might object to it.
  • Meaningful Name: "White," appropriate for his hair color. It also points back to his old identity; the "shiro" in "Shironuma" also means "white."
  • Really 700 Years Old: Though he looks like a man in his early thirties, He's actually nine years older then his friend, Matsudo who is a peer of Yoshimori's grandpa.
  • Roger Craig Smith
  • The Stoic
  • Transhuman Treachery
  • Two-Faced
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy

Hime

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Badass: Creating your own dimension where you can live and having powerful minions on your side, qualifies you for this trope,
    • Badass Decay: As the years passed, her power waned to the point that her organization tried to find ways to prolong the collapse of her dimension.
  • Big Bad: Of Kokubourou, though it turns out she's not completely evil as Sen states she doesn't have an evil presence.
  • Spoiled Brat: acts like a spoiled little princess, despite age.
  • Stephanie Sheh
