Kūgen Tenko (天狐 空幻, Tenko Kūgen?)

Female Voiced by: Yukana

Male Voiced by: Yuichi Nakamura

Kūgen is a fox deity that has been the Guardian of the Mizuchi family for centuries. Kūgen was sealed by one of their Water Priests because of her mischievous behavior, and was only let out when her services were needed. She was fully released by Noboru after Tōru was targeted by a demon and now serves as their guardian (she herself insisted on it, as her being fully released made her "out of a job"). Her powers are so great that she can defeat most opponents with just her own offensive techniques. She has demonstrated her great knowledge often, being able to figure out ways to beat an opponent even though having a disadvantage. Her natural element is metal (which is attributed to furred animals in the five phases) though she often uses fire magic and she has also shown control over water if it's present. Despite her great knowledge, she is often amazed by many things due to her having been sealed for such a long time with little time out. As such, especially early on, she is excited or surprised by various technology and their uses (such as first seeing a television, her reaction was the same as most depictions: "how did a person get in this box?").

Being what she is, she is capable of transformation, often appearing as either a human female or human male in addition to her natural form. When speaking, she uses the pronoun ore (俺?) to refer to herself which is usually only used by males in Japan. She attracts a fair bit of attention in either human form because of her blonde hair and blue eyes, often resulting in a crowd of the opposite gender (in an omake, she is in male form while at the beach since she doesn't want to be bothered by a bunch of guys; that didn't work either, as a crowd of girls gathers instead). In human form, she also often leaves her fox ears visible, choosing to either fully transform or simply wear a hat over them (they can involuntarily re-appear if she gets significantly distracted or excited). Kuu has a great love for food, and will happily do various things to get some, such as taking a part-time job thinking she'll get free food for her work.

Noboru Takagami (高上 昇, Takagami Noboru?)

Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima

Noboru is the eldest son of the Takagami family. He is sixteen-years-old and was made aware that he is the head of the Mizuchi family in the beginning of the series. He is in the badminton club with Misaki Sakura. He has no spiritual powers, but he is very calm in many situations and can understand others well; he often can handle situations by talking it through, such as how he managed to calm Miyabe down when she was despairing and raging at the same time. Despite his lack of any spiritual power, he has become able to more easily recognize human-transformed beings.

Tōru Takagami (高上 透, Takagami Tōru?)

Voiced by: Yu Shimamura

Tōru is the youngest son of the Takagami family. He is eleven-years-old and has strong Yin in his blood, as stated by his grandmother. This is why Tōru may be sought after by Youkai for various reasons. Thanks to this, however, he also has a sense of spirits (although weakly), and was able to fully see and talk with his mother during the Soul Ascension for her.

Kō (コウ?)

Voiced by: Saori Hayami

Kō is the "sentinel" of the Mizuchi family. She is sent to keep an eye on the Takagami brothers and Kūgen, and therefore must live in Noboru's house for the time being. She tries to be helpful, is dedicated to her job, and does not want to be a bother. She initially is very poor with common household tasks, and is mainly proficient in combat (she was raised honing her skills as a sentinel, not as a housekeeper); due to this, she has broken a large amount of the dishes the Takagami's own, as well as managing to burn the bottom of a pot while trying to boil water. She also is rather socially inexperienced, among other things (such as her method of describing things, which is to try to mimic the action/sounds, with little comprehension resulting) which tends to lead her to be seen as a bit of an oddball despite her very serious manner.

Misaki Sakura (佐倉 美咲, Sakura Misaki?)

Voiced by: Yui Kano

Misaki is a friend of Noboru's from school who wants to be more than friends with him. Due to a number of things, often beyond her control (such as Kūgen erasing her memory of an event), she hasn't gotten much closer. She has an overactive imagination, jumping to conclusions about other people's relationship to Noboru, especially Kuu and Kou, as they are living in his house. At one time, Kuu put a technique that will make Misaki into a temporarily powerful guardian for Noboru. She herself has no knowledge of this, as she is unconscious while in that state.
