* {{Intersex}}: [[spoiler:The reader (and even most characters, apparently) start out believing that Yoite is a boy. Later, it turns out that he's actually intersex.

Miharu and Kouichi's 25-year-old teacher in the front world. Born in Ireland, he was forced by his grandfather to go to Japan and learn to become a ninja. Among the Banten ninja, Thobari is the most vehement dissident against Miharu using the Shinrabanshou, instead advocating its permanent seal.

* AfraidOfNeedles: Thobari's irrational fear of vehicles of all sorts. Apparently he used to be an award-winning choirboy in Ireland, but being forcibly brought over to Japan in an airplane traumatized him so much he became tone deaf.

[[MayDecemberRomance Tobari's girlfriend]]. She's completely uninvolved with the world of Nabari and treats everyone (including enemy ninjas) kindly, much to [[VillainOverForDinner Thobari's horror]].
