Main Characters' Family

Toraji's father (虎侍の父, Toraji no Chichi?)

Voiced by: Jūrōta Kosugi (Japanese), Charlie Campbell (English)

Toraji's father is seen briefly in the anime when he forces his son to work at the family store during his visit. He is a tough man and a hard worker.

Toraji's mother (虎侍の母, Toraji no Haha?)

Voiced by: Keiko Han (Japanese), Wendy Powell (English)

Toraji's mother is not seen in the series, but she frequently sends packages of faddish health foods to her son. However, the food is usually insufficient nourishment for the poor Toraji, or of minimal use. She is shown briefly in the anime and forces her son to work at the store when he comes over to visit.

Tamaki's father (珠姫の父, Tamaki no Chichi?)

Voiced by: Katsumi Chō (Japanese), Mark Stoddard (English)

Tamaki's unnamed father is the head of the Kawazoe dojo. He encouraged Tamaki to take up kendo at a very young age, and is therefore responsible for her amazing skill in kendo. Tamaki's father is possibly in his mid-50's as he keeps saying "I'm at an age where I can't even understand Tama-chan anymore" in one episode of the anime. That said, he is in practice a kind, loving, considerate and doting father who merely lacks articulate skills and confidence to express his affections for Tamaki. He constantly worries every time Tamaki brings up Yūji, mistakenly believing that he and Tamaki are seeing each other, to the point he spies on them at training camp to make sure nothing is happening and constantly frowning or making an angry face whenever Yūji's name is brought up.

Tsubaki Kawazoe (川添 椿, Kawazoe Tsubaki?)

Tamaki's mother, who died when Tamaki was very young. Tamaki has only a few memories of her mother, but greatly respects her and remembers that her mother was amazingly talented at kendo. She seemed to have been fond of the high stance, and Tamaki becomes distracted whenever an opponent uses it against her.

Kirino's mother (紀梨乃の母, Kirino no Haha?)

Voiced by: Kanako Hirano (Japanese), Cynthia Cranz (English)

Kirino's mother helps run the family's deli. She collapses from exhaustion in the middle of the series, which causes Kirino to become distressed and more withdrawn, although her seriousness improved her skills in kendo. In the middle of a match, however, her brother yelled out to her that their mother was all right, in which she immediately lost focus--and the match.

Kirino's younger brother (紀梨乃の弟, Kirino no Otouto?)

Kirino's younger sister (紀梨乃の妹, Kirino no Imouto?)

Kirino's father (紀梨乃の父, Kirino no Chichi?)

Miyako's older sister (都の姉, Miyako no Ane?)

Voiced by: Natuki Mori (Japanese), Martha Harms (English)

Sayako's mother (鞘子の母, Sayako no Haha?)

Voiced by: Hiroko Katsura (Japanese), Melinda Wood Allen (English)

Sayako's younger brother (鞘子の弟, Sayako no Otouto?)

Voiced by: Kiyomi Yazawa (Japanese), Lindsay Seidel (English)
