* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Acts like a perverted idiot most of the time, but plenty of people have noted how tenacious he is at getting a glimpse of some booty (though he fails most of the time) and people like Shouryuuki and Mikami's mother have noted his incredible [[MagikarpPower growth potential]] which, according to the latter, surpasses even Mikami and Saijo. Heck, he managed to almost ''beat'' Mikami during his special training (he had aready beaten twice the number of monsters Mikami did on that same training her first time around), only losing due to hesitation. Heck, even in the first chapter clearly stated that has enormous spiritual powers. [[spoiler: Also, he was the one who delivered the killing blow to Astaroth.]]

* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler: He ultimately rejects Astaroth's offer to bring Luciola back from the dead in favor of destroying Astroth's plans.]]

* NiceGirl: Hands down the kindest person in the series. She's so nice that Yokoshima never tries to do his stuff on her.

* DirtyOldMan: Gets along well with Yokoshima...as long as he's not using him as a lab-rat...

* OlderThanTheyLook: One arc shows him as a strapping 'young' man...who's at least 200 years old.

* BerserkerTears: She cries and her Shikigami goes ballistic...which happens ''a lot''.
* CloudCuckooLander: She could function somewhat normally in society, but when Nightmare invades her mind, he has no idea what goes on in her head...so much so he had to abandon his attempt.

* TarotMotifs: XIV Temperance

* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler: He ultimately rejects Astaroth's offer to bring Luciola back from the dead in favor of stopping Astaroth.]]

[[WMG: Inukai/[[spoiler: Fenrir]]]]

* NiceGirl: Hands down the kindest person in the series. She's so nice Yokoshima never tries to do his stuff on her.

[[WMG: Okinu/[[spoiler: Kinu Himuro]]]]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Glimpsed in the "Yokoshima's TimeTravel" saga ([[spoiler: a kindergarten age Mikami talks kindly to a baby Yokoshima and kisses him on the cheek]]), confirmed by Santa Claus in then ChristmasEpisode.

* [[spoiler: TomatoSurprise ((It turns out that her existence began in the Heian era as the artificial demon Mephistopheles. It helps explain why she's ChaoticNeutral, for starters...)]]

* NameOrderConfusion: A dub example. The much reviled Manga Entertainment dub of the movie reversed the order of her name to "Mikami Reiko" which doesn't make sense for an English translation [[note]] unless if its historical figures or time periods or to preserve the pun [[/note]], you'd think someone would've spot checked that, but no it made it through.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Very greedy and self-centered and is certain to overprice her services a ''lot'' while paying her employees peanuts. That said, she does care for her companions' life and goes berserk or nearly has a HeroicBSOD when [[spoiler: Yokoshima is killed]] and genuinely cares for Kinu's well-being. There was also instances where she chose to ''not'' do her job and get the money, or when she gave someone else the profits ([[spoiler: like when Meiko led a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind to save her]]).

* {{Greed}}: She could easily take that spot in the pantheon of this site.

* BlackEyesOfEvil: ''Sparkling'' Black Eyes, at that. Not really evil though. It's actually a dig at the BishoujoGenre of the era, which features such eyes prominently.

* AdaptationExpansion: Narrator for the anime adaptation, where he gets a shaku (ritual baton) when speaking to the audience.
* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: An old-fasioned doll wearing an eboshi hat.

* [[spoiler: AstralProjection: After she is revived, she gains this ability. Unlike most examples, she can still move objects.]]
* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: After Shizumo-hime is slain.]]

* [[spoiler: MayflyDecemberRomance: He abjured a relationship with Princess Maria precisely because he knew he'd outlive her, and she deserved a more mortal mate. Nonetheless, he made sure her image lived on as the mystic robot Maria.]]

* IWasQuiteALooker: Not too bad on the eyes when he was younger.

* [[spoiler: {{Reincarnation}}: During the battle on the moon, she had to do this after getting shot by Mikami. She did it by performing mouth-to-mouth on Yokoshima and nearly going out ChestBurster style into a younger, "fresher" version of herself. Also resurrected in the battle against Astaroth.]]

* Proto-{{Otaku}}: In the ''GS Mikami '78'' arc, he is seen playing the original SpaceInvaders and takes offense at Mikami's mother branding fans of SpaceBattleShipYamato and StarWars, as well as cosplayers, as weirdos.

* BadAss: She's stronger than Mikami in most of her appearances.

* BadAss: The entire GS troop couldn't take him down the first time they fought him.
