List of Rosario + Vampire Characters - Other Characters

Other Characters

Nazo Koumori (謎こうもり, Nazo Koumori?)

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese), Jerry Jewell (English)

Known as "Kou-chan" (こーちゃん, Kō-chan?, "Batty" in the English manga), Nazzo Koumori is Kokoa's shapeshifting bat possessing the ability to transform itself into a variety of blunt weapons for Kokoa to use (in one instance, he transformed into a rapier). Weighing in at 100 kilograms, he was originally a birthday gift for Moka, but since Moka did not have superhuman strength when she was 10 years old, Nazo ended up with Kokoa. In the anime, he acts as the narrator and occasionally covers up various shots of fanservice (done in the television broadcast, while the DVD version is uncensored), and also appears to state the exact duration of a fight. In the manga, various bats of similar design are used to give information on the various yōkai encountered at the academy. He does not have any lines of speech in the manga, but in the anime, he frequently ends his sentences with dechū (でちゅー?, translated as "Squee" in Funimation's subs).

In Rosario + Vampire Capu2, Patamon takes a more active part in the story as Kokoa's pet (much to the characters' surprise, since all believed he was simply a narrator), and in one episode, assumed the guise of a student named Kotaro Ijuin (伊集院 光太郎, Ijūin Kōtarō?). His powers as Kotaro allow him to use hypnosis through the uttering of a specific word (Je t'aime, the French phrase for "I love you"), specifically to that of an incubus. He intended to use his abilities to enslave the entire female student body (including Gin and Nekonome), even to the extent of enslaving Kokoa and Moka, who attempted to resist his powers. He was swiftly defeated by the two vampires and reverted to his bat form, returning the female student body to normal after one of his teeth (the source of his incubus powers) fell out.

Kyoko Aono (青野 響子, Aono Kyōko?)

Voiced by: Sachiko Kojima (Japanese), Cherami Leigh (English)

Kyoko is Tsukune's tomboyish 17 year-old cousin with a stubborn streak. She is overprotective of Tsukune, whom she refers to as "Tsukkie" (つっきー, Tsukkī?, English manga: "Tsuki") (Tsukune calls her "Kyo" (響ちゃん, Kyō-chan?) in return), and makes her appearance on the second day of the school festival while searching for Yokai Academy. Tsukune and his friends attempt to keep her from finding out about the academy's nature and its students, as well as prevent the authorities from discovering she is human. It is later revealed that Kyoko entered the yōkai world to deliver a package that contains the Lilith Mirror under Ishigami's direction. Later on in the second serialization, Kyoko is led to believe Tsukune is involved with the Yakuza. In the anime, she was briefly mentioned in the first series, but makes a full appearance in the second season.

Kasumi Aono (青野 かすみ, Aono Kasumi?) and Koji Aono (青野 光司, Aono Kōji?)

Kasumi Voiced by: Haruha Terada (Japanese), Maeghan Albach (English)

Koji Voiced by: Uncredited (Japanese), Scott Freeman (English)

Tsukune's parents and Kyoko's aunt and uncle, respectively.

Lilith (リリス, Ririsu?)

Voiced by: Maria Kawamura (Japanese), Maxey Whitehead (English)

Lilith is a small fairy (a tsukumogami or artifact spirit) who carries the Lilith Mirror (リリスの鏡, Ririsu no Kagami?), an object allowing whoever holds it to see a monster's true form as well as their hidden desires, but at the cost of the user's soul. The mirror was given to Kyoko by Ishigami with the intention to create a schoolwide uproar by revealing the students' true forms, but it eventually failed following Ishigami's defeat. In the anime, Kyoko accidentally obtains Lilith and the Lilith Mirror following a run-in with Kokoa, who was intending to use it to split Inner Moka from Outer Moka and keep Inner Moka for herself. Lilith was eventually defeated by the teamwork of Mizore, Ruby, Yukari and Kurumu. In the manga's second serialization, Lilith appears in Chapter 15 with Mikogami, suggesting she is now working for him.

Doppleganger (ドッペルゲンガー, Dopperugengā?)

An unnamed thief who specializes in transforming into a person close to his targets and then killing them. When he transforms into a monster, he gains all of their abilities, but also gains all of their weaknesses. To compensate for his weak powers, he has learned all basic marital arts. His minions are a Minotaur and a spider-man. Despite his ruthlessness, he has an intense fear of women.

Snow Priestess (雪の巫女, Yuki no Miko?, English manga: "Snow Oracle")

The leader of the Land of Snow Fairies and elder of the Snow Village. She possesses a familiar spirit named Jack Frost (ジャックフロスト, Jakku Furosuto?), who is responsible for telling the village's predictions and prophecies.

Issa Shuzen (朱染 一茶, Shuzen Issa?)

Voiced by: Katsuji Mori (Japanese), J. Michael Tatum (English)

Issa Shuzen is Moka's father and the patriarch of the Shuzen Family, which is well-known and respected as far as China for its reputation of dealing with "problems" in the underground. It is also the only location in Japan that houses vampires. Upon Aqua's arrival to the mansion from China, he orders her and Kalua to kill each other so that he may test his eldest daughter's strength, though stops the fight before either one becomes badly injured, having measured her ability to his satisfaction.

Issa makes a full appearance in Rosario + Vampire Capu2, where he is the third Dark Lord. In this adaptation, he created Moka's rosario and the one used for the school barrier. His contempt for humans knows no bounds and according to Komori, his powers exceed that of a standard S-class yōkai, able to throw anyone with just a wave of his hand.

Issa's name translates as "One tea" in Japanese, keeping the trend of naming members of the Shuzen Family after types of drinks.

Marin Kawamoto (川本 まりん, Kawamoto Marin?)

Marin is an owner of a beach side inn and a mother figure to San Otonashi. She knows about yōkai since her husband was killed by Kanade Kamiya 4 years ago. Having her dream of opening the best inn possible damaged due to this incident, she became depressed and drank heavily until she found San struggling on the streets a year later, adopting her without knowing of San being a siren, the same species that killed her husband. When San revealed her true form after Kanade returns, Marin was at first horrified, but after San took a critical blow to protect her and defeating Kamiya, Marin came be thought of herself foolish to fear San based on her appearance, and came to accept her.

Tohofuhai (東方不敗, Tōhōfuhai?)

Tohofuhai is the second Dark Lord introduced in chapter 27 of the second serialization, and according to Ling-Ling, responsible for teaching Mikogami his sealing techniques. He is also the founder of the Huang Crime Family in China and Fei-Hong's great-grandfather, and the original user of the Hōgetsu Jigen-Tō (崩月次元刀?, "Moon-Crushing Dimensional Sword") technique that was later passed on to Ling-Ling and Aqua. It is revealed that he's an otaku and cosplay fanatic when he tricks Inner Moka into dressing up as Lum Invader from Urusei Yatsura before repairing her rosario. He claims that since he has gotten older, women are not drawn to him anymore, and in order to cope, he turned to manga. He further displays this when he shouts that "2D girls last forever", and they would never betray him. He is also an old friend of Akasha Bloodriver, Moka's mother. He reveals his true and young form in chapter 36, his elderly form having been used to conserve energy.

His name translates as "Eastern Direction Invincibility", or, more loosely, "Undefeated of the East", perhaps as homage to the G Gundam character Master Asia who had the same title, which is subsequently derived from Dongfang Bubai (東方不敗/东方不败?) of the Chinese Wuxia novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

Fei-Hong Huang (黄 飛鴻, Won Feifon?) and Tian-Tian Huang (黄 恬恬, Won Tenten?)

Ling-Ling and Fang-Fang's parents. Fei-Hong is head of the Huang Crime Family and the great-grandson of Tohofuhai who fell in love with Tian-Tian, the daughter of the Miao Family and a master martial artist. Both families are intense rivals, but were able to put their feud aside to allow them to get married. Like Fang-Fang, Fei-Hong is a highly adept summoner, while Tian-Tian is a highly-skilled and powerful fighter. Fang-Fang describes his parents as Romeo and Juliet from Romeo and Juliet, and claims Tian-Tian is stronger than Fei-Hong.

Alucard (アルカード, Arukādo?)

The Vampire Lord and one of the most powerful vampires who attempted to take over mankind. However, he was defeated and sealed by Akasha using a blood seal that synchronizes his blood with her own, putting Akasha at risk of reviving him should she use her full power, with his corpse hidden in the Shuzen Mansion. When Akasha was seemingly killed by Aqua during a fight at which Moka was a witness, Moka's Shinso Blood that was given to her by her mother at birth was activated, causing Alucard to awaken once more until Akasha used a rosario seal to seal the Shinso Blood within Moka, sealing him once more. His body (as of chapter 42) is currently held in Fairy Tale's main headquarters.

In terms of appearance, Alucard bears little resemblance to traditional vampire, bearing more resemblance to a giant Xenomorph with a bone-like exterior.

Alucard's name is an anagram of the legendary vampire Dracula, which is written backwards. It is also a reference to Dracula's son Alucard from the 1943 Universal film Son of Dracula.

Akasha Bloodriver (アカーシャ＝ブラッドリバー, Akāsha Buraddoribā?)

Akasha Bloodriver is Moka's mother, whose appearance closely resembles Outer Moka's. Tohofuhai, the second Dark Lord, is a good friend of Akasha and describes her as a strong yet sad woman who carried a heavy burden. Despite being kind and gentle, Akasha is one of the true ancestors of the Vampire race and managed to defeat the most powerful Vampire Lord of her time, thus making her a Dark Lord and leader of the three. However, when she defeated the Vampire Lord Alucard, her blood was synchronized with his blood while sealing him, meaning that if Akasha unleashed her full power, it could cause Alucard to awaken once more.

This caused even more trouble for her when she gave birth to Moka. Because Moka was on the verge of death when she was born, Akasha injected much of her blood into Moka to keep her alive. Therefore, Moka also possesses the "Shinso Blood" and could also awaken Alucard from his slumber. After Moka discovered the corpse of the Vampire Lord, Akasha forced Moka to leave her home in order to protect her. However, when Akasha was seemingly killed by Aqua, it awakened Moka's Shinso Blood, causing Alucard to awaken once more. To save her daughter, Akasha used a rosary seal to create a pseudo personality–Outer Moka–to seal her blood away, and states that it can only be removed by someone who truly cares for her, in this case, Tsukune. She later destroyed all of her photos and diaries, leaving behind no connections except the rosario seal, and left Moka in temporary care with Mikogami. It is later revealed by Aqua in chapter 42 that she has fused with Alucard to prevent him from awakening. She is the original user of the quote "Know your place" (身の程を知れ, Minohodo o shire?), a quote later taken up by her daughter.

Akasha's name comes from the Vampire Queen Akasha from Anne Rice's novel series The Vampire Chronicles.
