Supporting Characters
Kaya
Voiced by: Mariko Honda
Kaya (加耶) is a zashiki-warashi (a child spirit that resides in a tatami mat) that lives at Yuto’s grandparents’ house. She is extremely fond of Himari and often threatens Yuto whenever he gets too close to her, as she would rather have him dead because Himari wouldn’t have to leave her by herself. She later supplied Shizuku with the Amakawa’s family book, which held information about the family itself and Himari’s ancestors. She later takes residence in Yuto’s house along with Ageha and Sasa. Kaya has the ability to generate force fields to repel enemy attacks.
Ageha
Voiced by: Chiaki Takahashi
Ageha (明夏羽) is an air demon (飛縁魔, hinoenma) that tried to kill Yuto and Himari in a nearby forest. After being saved from Himari’s Demonic Rage by Yuto, she begins to have romantic feelings for him, which is shown blatantly in the anime when she starts to wear revealing outfits. She later returns to drink Yuto’s blood under a bridge but found herself so intoxicated that she actually tried to violate him until Himari and Shizuku intervened. After the encounter with Shuten-douji and Tama, she takes residence in Yuto’s house.
As an air demon, Ageha can stretch her limbs to unimaginable lengths, can manipulate fire, and send her victims to sleep with a simple gaze. Her main ability, however, is the ability to increase her powers if she drinks a demon slayers’ blood (similar to that of a vampire’s). After drinking it, it must mix in with her own blood first or else she will be intoxicated. Her personal weapon is a single-edged sword with its hilt resembling a kunai’s ring, which was broken by Tama’s force field when Himari wielded it.
Sasa
Voiced by: Miyako Nigo
Sasa (沙砂) is a monopedal (and androgynous) cyclops (一本ダタラ, īppon-datara) boy (girl in the anime) and Ageha’s accomplice who attacked Shizuku, Kaya, and Rinko at Yuto’s grandparents’ house. He was almost killed by Shizuku until she witnessed Yuto’s Light Ferry ability. He later appears again in front of Rinko trying to keep her from seeing Yuto by getting her to play horsey. He soon takes refuge along with Ageha in Yuto’s house after a brief meeting Shuten-douji and Tama.
Sasa has the ability to summon giant pillars from the sky to crush his opponents, increase his mass at will, and fire energy beams from his eye. His kind were once excellent swordsmiths. As such, he can repair and restore broken swords to their original condition, shown when he shoots energy from his eye to repair Himari’s Yasutsuna, something that was originally done by Kuesu in the manga by recreating it through some sort of time magic.
Hyogo Kaburagi
Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara
Hyogo Kaburagi (鏑木 兵吾, Kaburagi Hyōgo) is a member of the Professional Bureau of Public Security, a department that monitors supernatural activities such as the demon slayers and the Ayakashi. He was originally assigned to Kuesu, trying to cover up any activity involving the demon slayers and the Ayakashi. He later appears to Yuto to bring news of a cannibalistic Ayakashi and to recruit him into his department. He also reminds Yuto that if humans and Ayakashi were to coexist, a king is need to maintain that order. He then makes a deal with Shuten-douji and Tama that they can attack Yuto and company, but they can’t harm any humans in the process.
Minor Characters
Gen and Sawa Amakawa
Voiced by: Sayuri Sadaoka (Sawa)
Gen Amakawa (天河 源, Amakawa Gen) and Sawa Amakawa (天河 佐和, Amakawa Sawa), referred to as “Gen-ji” and “Sawa-ba” respectively, are Yuto’s grandparents. Yuto once lived with them during his childhood until he moved out with his parents, not before Sawa bestowed him with an omamori before leaving. Gen was the one who bestowed Yasutsuna to Himari prior to his death. Upon arriving in Noihara, Yuto finally pays their respects, not realizing they were dead due to his blocked memories.
Sae Kisaragi
Voiced by: Michiko Neya
Sae Kisaragi (如月 冴, Kisaragi Sae) is Yuto, Rinko, and Himari’s schoolteacher. A smoker and a pervert, she always seems to catch Yuto in an erotic act with a girl. She is actually passively supportive of whatever erotic acts the students do as long as they do it outside of class. Rinko sometimes calls her “Sae-chan”, which she detests. It is implied in Chapter 8 of the manga that she may be a yōkai as well.
Taizo Masaki
Voiced by: Tatsuhita Suzuki
Taizo Masaki (柾木 泰三, Masaki Taizō) is a classmate and one of Yuto’s friends. Taizo is a perverted young man who is attracted to almost any beautiful girl he sees, trying to stimulate his libido, and usually gets beaten up for his actions. He was briefly possessed by a spider Ayakashi in episode 1, which was quickly dispatched by Himari after stabbing it in front of a nearby water tower when it escaped from his body. He has an obsessive attraction to Himari, one time asking her to be his model for his art project, only to be rejected in Yuto’s favor much to his disappointment.
Class President
Voiced by: Yu Shimamura
The Class President (いいんちょ, īncho) is another classmate at Yuto’s school. Her real name is unknown.
Aya
Voiced by: Mami Kosuge
Aya (文) is a fugurama-yōbi (文車妖妃, a spirit messenger that stores a multitude of items within her stomach) in the form of a young girl with light blue hair and matching eyes wearing a white yukata. She first appears in episode 8 when Himari was looking for a replacement weapon, as she lost Yasutsuna during her battle with Kuesu. She appears again in Kuesu’s hotel room along with Himari after the field set around the hotel was broken when Kuesu was pushed back towards the window by Yuto’s Light Ferry, vomiting out numerous weapons for Himari to use much to Kuesu’s disgust. She appears again to bring news of the dead Ayakashi in the West.
Ranka Mikari
Ranka Mikari (三雁 藍華, Mikari Ranka) is the sole descendant of the Jibashiri Clan and a friend of Kuesu. She doesn't have any powers as a demon slayer and was almost killed by Shuzuku out of revenge until Yuto and Himari intervened.
