Seimei High School

Tadaaki Hayashi (林 忠明, Hayashi Tadaaki?)

Voiced by: Shinji Ogawa (Japanese), Greg Dulcie (English)

Tadaaki Hayashi is the coach for the Seimei High School kendo team. He is extremely strict with his students, and verbally and physically punishes them when they lose a match--even if it is against a stronger opponent. His tough training regiments often cause students to quit the kendo team, although he does not regret this, and considers quitters to be weak. After the practice with Muroe High, however, he seems to have changed his outlook on kendo, and is easier on his students, emphasizing the fun and excitement of kendo rather than its harshness and tough work.

Mei Ogawa (小川 芽衣, Ogawa Mei?)

Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English)

Mei is a freshman on the Seimei High School kendo team. She joined the team to be with her friends, although all of them eventually quit until she was the very last freshman girl left on the team. This discourages her, and she desired to quit the kendo team after the practice with Muroe High, but is convinced otherwise when getting fired up after practicing with Tamaki.

Reimi Odajima (小田島 礼美, Odajima Reimi?)

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)

A girl who attended the same middle school as Miyako, and became obsessed with her when she beat up a boy who Reimi had a crush on, but who liked Miyako. Since finding out that Miyako joined the kendo club, she follows her to every tournament, taking countless pictures and recording videos of her. Miyako is very disturbed by her stalking, and has lost a few matches due to being distracted by her.
