History Characters / ShamanKing

* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: He fell in love with a girl who had a terminal disease and became a doctor to find a cure for her. He succeeded and they got married, but she was killed by a burglar.

* BoomHeadshot: Despite being cured from a terminal illness thanks to Phausto's treatment, what ends with Eliza's life is a robbery gone wrong, when the mugger shot her in the head, and her skeleton still has the bullet hole.

* HospitalHottie: After getting cured from her illness, she married Phausto and became the nurse at their small clinic, and she is quite attractive. As an oversoul, her outfit remains the pink nurse dress.

* AffectionateNickname: His nickname "Horo Horo" was given to him by his FirstLove who he called Damko in return.
* BeneathTheMask: [[spoiler:Avaf points out that Horohoro is hiding his true self behind his "cool and easygoing" persona that's holding his true power from being released. Horohoro is actually very headstrong and analytical, but he chooses not to fall back into it because it reminds him of Damko's freezing to death when she tried to look for him in the mountains. He finally discards his mask for good when he learns what happened to her spirit.]]

* WomenAreWiser: She has quite a down-to-Earth approach to people, specially to Lyserg.

* TheHeart: Perhaps this is the main reason why his shamans friends need him and for this whole story in particular: he proves that not all people are corrupte and for the sake of such people like he it is worth fighting in the tournament and saving humanity from Hao.
* HairOfGoldHeartofGold: a nice guy with light yellow hair, which is quite weird for an ordinary schoolboy, since the only other Japanese blonde — shaman Anna.

* BreaktheCutie: Just because he’s sweet, doesn’t mean that nothing bad happens to him: already in the first chapter he is humiliated by his classmates and beaten by delinquents. He also suffers from the pressure of his family, is forced to be Anna's personal slave, along with Ryu, becomes a victim of a disgusting prank by Konchi and Ponchi, because of which Tamao almost killed him, but the worst thing: is that he sees his friends suffer and die in battles and is unable to even interfere with it.

* AnimeHair: His hair is shaped like a weapon's blade.

* GentelmanAndAScholar: He is as kind as he is smart.

* GentelmanandaScholar: He is as kind as he is smart.

* CuteClumsyGuy: Sometimes he stumbles and gets into awkward situations because of his height, but it's still adorable.

* GentelmanandScholar: He is as kind as he is smart.
* TheHeart: Perhaps this is the main reason why his shamans friends need him and this whole story in particular: he proves that not all people are corrupte and for the sake of such people like he it is worth fighting in the tournament and saving humanity from Hao.
* HairofGoldHeartofGold: a nice guy with light yellow hair, which is quite weird for an ordinary schoolboy, since the only other Japanese blonde — shaman Anna.

* TokenMiniMoe: Suitable as a male example, because he is the shortest and cutest of the boys.
* WhyDiditHavetoBeSnakes?: Has necrophobia (fear of skeletons and corpses). It is not surprising that he had a hard time during the battle between Yoh and Faust.

* CatchPhrase: "Everything will work out."

* GoodTwin: Given that Hao's an Onmyouji, it's very likely that Yoh is Hao's severed ''Yin'' half, peaceful and kind. [[spoiler:Yoh still had to undergo a small HeelFaceTurn in his childhood. Thanks to Anna, this became much easier]].

* TheHero: The main character and the guy who holds the group together.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Manta.

* ButtMonkey: Especially in the earlier chapters.

* RuleAbidingRebel: Though he looks and acts like a thug, he doesn't want to do anything illegal. When possessed by Tokageroh for the first time and demands that his posse go steal a real sword, they remind him that he carries a wooden sword because real swords are illegal, and that he shouldn't steal since he always said that stealing makes your parents sad.

* StarterVillain: He's pretty intimidating to an ordinary middle school student like Manta, but a shaman wipes the floor with him in seconds. By the time he gets tougher, he's stopped being a villain.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: After Yoh offers him his own body, Tokagero plans to take control of Yoh's body to kill him. However, he realized that he is incapable of doing it because he is touched by the blind trust Yoh gives him. He would later cross paths with Ryu and becomes his spirit companion.

* EvilLaugh: "Keh Keh Keh!"

* JerkAss: In life, he was a particularly brutal bandit. As a spirit, he pulls every dirty trick in the book to get back at Amidamaru.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After losing to Yoh, he becomes nicer and becomes Ryu's Guardian Ghost.

* UnknownRival: To Amidamaru.
* YouFool: I am the infamous Tokagero!

* BerserkButton: Faust is a master of DissonantSerenity and takes all kinds of insults thrown at him in stride. But the moment you remind him that his beloved wife Eliza is just a reanimated corpse? That is the moment the guy will completely ''flip his shit'' and go AxCrazy on you.

* CheatedDeathDiedAnyway: Eliza had a terminal illness since she was young, which motivated Faust to become a doctor and find a cure for her. He did manage to heal her and extend her lifespan... Only for Eliza to die anyway because a buglar killed her.

* InsecureLoveInterest: When Faust confessed to her, Eliza admitted she had loved him for a long time, but was afraid to confess first because she thought Faust didn't love her back and she believed her illness would make her a burden to him.

* CaptainErsatz: Of [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]].

* AnimeHair: That horn is just... yeah.

* ImprobableHairstyle: Shaped like his weapon's blade. It... it GROWS too...
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He starts off as a cold-hearted, deeply misanthropic SocialDarwinist, but it is just his way of coping with his abusive upbringing and his family's legacy. He's actually quite kind; he just finds it difficult to show it.
* TheLancer: He settles into this role when he joins Yoh. He even leads his own group in the final stage of the Shaman Fight.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Milk. He drinks three bottles of it a day.

* SlasherSmile: Has a lot of these moments before he's officially done his HeelFaceTurn. As the story progresses they reduce in number but they're still pretty prominent.

* FlatCharacter: Played with, as Bason's lack of personality is characterizing in and of itself. As a Tao family spirit, he is trained to be seen, not heard, and unswerving devoted to Ren. Unlike the more mindless spirits of the Tao, however, he genuinely cares about Ren and tends to act more like a parental figure than a servant.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are always a deep red, which makes him look terrifying. Subverted in that he's actually just a super-intimidating GentleGiant.

* EleventhHourRanger: He defects from Yoh's group to the X-Laws for the tournament, but rejoins the party as the Shaman of Fire during the final arc when the tournament is over (and all X-Laws except for Marco and Jeanne are dead).

* PintSizedPowerhouse: They have laughable mana levels, but their golem has far and above mana levels [[spoiler:because it's run by their father's spirit and he designed a unique battery that works just like a car battery but can store thousands upon thousands of mana to allow anyone to wield it.]]

* LadyOfWar: She doesn't fight herself, but her jiangshi is a force to be reckoned with.
** [[spoiler:In ''Red Crimson'' she is forced to fight herself using Pyron's soul after his body disintegrates.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: High ranking member of the Tao dynasty and a very powerful shaman.

* MakingASplash: Torara can manipulate water

* ChurchMilitant: The X-LAWS was founded by Luchist, a priest, and Marco, after they adopt Iron Maiden Jeanne and build her image as TheChosenOne, while the rest of the group firmly believes they're doing God's work.

* CloudCuckooLander: In spite of being a badass and stern leader, he has a lot of uncommon quirks: The best way of using his Spiritual power is by taking off his pants and fight with only his shirt and underwear. Also the only way to calm him down is to give him some Belgian chocolate.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to Hao's incarnation from 1000 years ago]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hao.png[[/labelnote]]]]

* AffablyEvil: He's genuinely polite and hospitable, to the point that sometimes it is easy to forget he is the bad guy. He and Yoh even share a FuroScene. It's...unnerving to say the least.

* BerserkButton: Being seen in a vulnerable state. Possibly a case of DontYouDarePityMe.
* BigBad: Of the entire series.

* CatchPhrase: He has a habit of calling those around him "so small". Unfortunately, it was LostInTranslation in the official Viz translation, most of the time it is translated as "amateurs", though arguably some meaning is lost from that, and in other instances it is translated differently as well.

* ChickMagnet: [[spoiler:It's all but outright stated that [[CuteBruiser Matti]] and [[EmotionlessGirl Mari]] are [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys in love]] [[BodyguardCrush with Hao]], which is why they follow him so devotedly.]]

* EvilTwin: Of Yoh in his recent reincarnation.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He's essentially just what Yoh would look like with waist-length hair.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: One of Hao's top lieutenants and a very powerful shaman.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Marion is blonde, Kanna has dark blue hair, and Matti is a redhead.

* {{Expy}}: Of Sherlock Holmes, from his appearance to his occupation. He even gives Lyserg his green tartan coat.

* HopeSpot: She starts trusting Yoh and his group when she learns that Horo Horo dreams of planting a big field of Butterbur. [[spoiler:Unfortunately Hao kills her right after Yoh and the others leave her place.]]

[[quoteright:205:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoh_asakura_6.png]]

Amidamaru is a samurai who died during the Muromachi period 600 years ago and is now Yoh's guardian ghost and best friend. He is very powerful and wise but quite taciturn and extremely devoted. He was greatly known for killing several hundred soldiers during a battle. For many years it was believed that he'd turned rogue, and tried to kill the emperor. It turns out that he'd only tried to protect his best friend Mosuke. He is the original handler of the legendary sword named "Harusame", meaning "Spring Rain", a sword forged by Mosuke, who also appeared as a spirit. For his tropes in ''Flowers'', see [[Characters/ShamanKingFlowers here]].

* ButtMonkey: If he's not being a badass he's usually the butt of jokes, such as the time Yoh uselessly throws him at Silva then almost sent to heaven thanks to a Buddhist chant Yoh uses in desperation. Even more apparent in ''Flowers'' where [[spoiler:Tamao and her charge Hana]] have no problems making him a punching bag whenever they're angry.

[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anna_kyoyama_4.png]]

* WellExcuseMePrincess: She can't stand her fiancé slacking off and is constantly pushing Yoh to work harder to become Shaman King.

* JerkAss: He's first introduced defacing a cemetery for the hell of it and then picking on a couple of teenagers with his gang.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Then in his next appearance, we learn that he's actually a super nice guy who acts like a delinquent to earn respect and protect his gang. He's still a little abrasive from then on, but his nicer side is more consistently shown.
* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Too bad they do. [[RunningGag Repeatedly.]]

* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:Somewhat of a father figure to Hana, Yoh's son, in ''Flowers''.]]

Tamao's specialty is her ability to perform divinations. She is also an ascetic, like Mikihisa; her spirits are Konchi, a kitsune, and Ponchi, a tanuki. Tamao is named for Tamao Nakamura. When the manga ends the Asakura family owns a resort were Tamao works and lives. Tamao also acts as the mother of Yoh's only son Hana/Han while Yoh and Anna travel the world. She also became an Enka Singer. For her tropes in ''Shaman King: Flowers'', go [[Characters/ShamanKingFlowers here]].

* HopelessSuitor: Unfortunately for her, Yoh is in a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage with Anna so he won't ever consider Tamao a love interest. Adding insult to injury, Anna doesn't even see her as a love rival and calls her a mere fangirl.

* ParentalAbandonment: She was adopted by Mikihisa.

* UnbalancedByRivalsKid: Ultimately subverted. She's initially flustered by [[spoiler:Hana, the son of Yoh and Anna, but was willing to ''raise him'' as a favor to his parents regardless, and does so fairly and lovingly.]]
* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: [[spoiler:She still loves Yoh, even in the epilogue when he's married to Anna.]]

->Voiced by: Creator/NanaMizuki (Japanese), Creator/VeronicaTaylor (English), Gabriela Guzmán (Latin American Spanish)

->Voiced by: Creator/YujiUeda (Japanese), Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas (English), Abraham Vega (Latin American Spanish)

* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was once a professional football player, before refusing to give a fan an autograph. The fan retaliated by cutting the break lines on their bus, killing everyone but Bill (who was crippled.) His loyalty to Hao comes from the fact that Hao healed him.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the 2001 anime, Lyserg abandons Morphine upon joining the X-LAWs in favor of Zeruel. Eventually they reconcile. In the manga though, he makes it clear that even if he is now using Zeruel in combat, Morphine is his close friend and he would never abandon her. And later on he even manages to use both her and Zeruel in tandem for greater power.

* {{Bishonen}}: [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zAEjnjIy5es/XdlrNsWOz7I/AAAAAAAAz_U/qLHmt4Ig4nELW5cOcWOe9a2Jos4EvurCwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/019.jpg In his human form.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Tao Ran's personal bodyguards, Shu and Kyo, are handsome guys and her main jiang-shi. Yuan doesn't want to admit that he is jealous of them.

* {{Bishonen}}: Looks like this, but you won't see it most of the time due to the mask he's wearing.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: Their team name, the Kabbalahers, comes from a Jewish school of thought, and Redseb mentions that golems like their's were created long ago to protect his ancestors, and golems come from Jewish folklore. And their particular golem has "emeth", the Hebrew word for truth written on it. Muddying the waters a bit is the fact that they are celebrating Christmas, though that may simply be an error on the Japanese writer's part since Christmas is a secular holiday for most in Japan.

* Walkingspoiler:She plays a big role in the Finale and Hao's final decision regarding humanity.

* ElementalEyeColors: [[spoiler: He has brown eyes and becomes the master of the Spirit of Earth as one of the five elemental warriors]].

* GoodTwin: Given that Hao's an Onmyouji, it's very likely that Yoh is Hao's severed ''Yin'' half, peaceful and kind. [[spoiler: Yoh still had to undergo a small HeelFaceTurn in his childhood. Thanks to Anna, this became much easier]].

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: He is incredibly calm and friendly to everyone but hides the fact he despises humanity since they ignore him for being involved with Shamans, even thinking of killing them if he became Shaman King when he was young. Across the series other characters start understanding his way of thinking and can tell when he is lying or acting strong.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/aqF4h1CUxX8 "Empathetic Heart"]].

* WalkTheEarth: [[spoiler: He travels to other countries with Anna after the Shaman fights to try and fix how the world works before the time Hao gave them runs out and he continues his plan to KillAllHumans.]]

* AlmightyJanitor: She never participates in the Shaman King due to being an itako and not a Shaman in the traditional sense [[spoiler: not to mention being pregnant at the time to fully go all out]]. In actuality, her Furyoku is abnormally high-- 370,000 initially, and by 600,000 by the end, which is stronger than any of the Five Elemental Warriors individually even after they gained their Elemental Spirits. To put into context, she's directly behind Iron Maiden Jeannne, Sati, and Hao- the powerhouses of the tournament. If she were a Shaman, she'd be a force to be reckoned with.
* AlmightyMom: [[spoiler: She's this in the sequel series, after giving birth to her son Hana.]]

* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler: Somewhat of a father figure to Hana, Yoh's son, in ''Flowers''.]]

* UnbalancedByRivalsKid: Ultimately subverted. She's initially flustered by [[spoiler: Hana, the son of Yoh and Anna, but was willing to ''raise him'' as a favor to his parents regardless, and does so fairly and lovingly.]]
* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: [[spoiler: She still loves Yoh, even in the epilogue when he's married to Anna.]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Early volumes show her displaying a crush on Manta, since he looks an awful lot like a Koropokkoru, and she's occasionally seen lovingly hugging the top of his head surrounded by [[CardiovascularLove little floating hearts]]. This trait disappears completely after the Shaman Fight officially begins and the two are never seen interacting again, with her best friend Horohoro seemingly taking Manta's place as the object of her affection. Especially after it's revealed [[spoiler: she's the reborn spirit of his childhood crush]].

* OneWordVocabulary: "Kuru" is the only word she can say. [[spoiler: She is capable of normal speech in her true form.]]

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Choco is a goofball with a terrible sense of humor, but he's a powerful shaman, [[spoiler: and later proves to be the strongest of the other Elemental Warriors.]]

* CoolMask: [[spoiler: He wears the mask out of shame for his failure during Hao's rebirth and to cover his scars from Hao's attack. It's the same mask that Yohken Asakura used before.]]

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: Killed by a mugger]] after the series' end.

* SoulFragment: [[spoiler: ''Shaman King: Flowers'' reveals that all the Archangel spirits of the X-Laws are just fragments of the original Archangels even with Luchist and Hans. When Spemia faced them with the original Lucifer, all of the X-Laws are immediately curbstomped in one hit and even Luchist can hold the Fallen Angel back for a few seconds."]]

* FakeUltimateHero: Turns out she's just [[spoiler: a sickly orphan girl with enormous spiritual power that came under Luchist and Marco's care. They lead her to believe she was the Messiah in the hopes of having enough power to take down Hao. Considering the guidance she was given and the fact that one of her mentors turned on them, no wonder her views on good and evil are so messed up.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: By the end of the manga, she's thrown her lot in with Yoh and company, [[spoiler: and by the sequel has hooked up with Ren.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: She truly believes that she is the AllLovingHero (Yoh Asakura has that role) or at LEAST the BigGood (She has only one-half that role, the other half belongs to [[spoiler:Lady Saigan Sati the leader of the Gandhara group]]).

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Averted, despite what the original manga's ending implied, ''Manga/ShamanKingFlowers'' shows that the previous Shaman Kings are ''NOT'' pleased with him being the Shaman King.]]

* FromNobodyToNightmare: In a side story, it's revealed that Hao started out as a weak little kid [[spoiler: whose mother got killed because locals thought she was a demon in disguise]]. ''Look at him now''.

* IHaveManyNames: [[spoiler: Hao Asakura is actually the name given to him by the emperor of Japan a thousand years ago. He was born with the name Asaha Douji, and nicknamed Mappa Douji (Mappa is another reading of the kanji of his first name) by the oni Ohachiyo]].

* KnightOfCerebus: Prior to him, while Tao En was [[AbusiveParents an extremely abusive parent]] whose influence was mainly to his children primarily, the only real casualties being his own jiangshi who as proven in spinoffs- could get their bodies easily replaced with their own spirits being placed inside them- with the conflict being resolved peacefully. With Hao's direct appearance, [[AnyoneCanDie suddenly living people- innocent bystanders and Shaman alike start dying at a rapid pace- including the main heroes temporally at several points in the story]] and [[spoiler: he even succeeds in his goal, which spells tremendous ramifications for the sequel, albeit sparing humanity with some convincing]]- with no one- alive or dead being capable of defeating him in a conventional manner with his victory due to both his immense power and via {{Reincarnation}} in the slim chance he did die- to repeat the rebirth process to gain even greater power due to this rebirth to try his ambitions once again- as an inevitable conclusion.

* MommyIssues: Hao's Start of Darkness is ultimately rooted [[spoiler: in his mother's murder. Resolving this is also how he is temporarily dissuaded from murdering humans]]. Now go and re-read all the entries regarding him and Anna.

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: [[spoiler: In the second Mappa Douji special, the Daitaro-Boshi tried to consume Hao's horde of oni, only to fail and get absorbed in turn]].

* YouFool: [[spoiler: Asanoha refers to him as her "stupid son" while apologizing to the heroes.]]

* ArchnemesisDad: Technically he is this to Marco, as he adopted and raised him since he was young.[[spoiler: But in ''Shaman King Marcos'', its more complicated than that.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: At some point prior to the main story, Luchist abandoned the X-LAWS and defected to Hao's side, after he was beaten by him and decided that only the winners deserved true justice.[[spoiler: But in 'Shaman King: Marcos' it is revealed that he was already in Hao's side in the first place long before the story starts. Luchist was actually planning to side with Hao even before he was reincarnated. It is also revealed that it is also protect Marco from Hao and the Lasso Family as he knew Marco would be killed in the name of revenge and the Lasso Family would manipulate him.]]
* FallenAngel: Luchist's spirit, Lucifer. He bears the name of the Morning Star himself, and was the first and strongest of the Archangels. [[spoiler: ''Shaman King: Marcos'' revealed that Lucifer is just a fragment of the original Lucifer (an actual angel) who was wielded by Luchist's relative, Spimea.]]

* SinisterMinister: He was once a good priest who took Marco under his care. He would later change sides and serve Hao. [[spoiler: ''Shaman King: Marcos'' reveals that his job as a priest was just an cover for his real job, an assassin for anyone who can be a threat to the Lasso Family.]]

* WhiteSheep: In ''Shaman King: Marcos'', which explains his origins, it is revealed that [[spoiler: Luchist was born into a ArmsDealer AncientConspiracy Lasso clan who manipulates the world through weaponry since the ancient times. Luchist actually loathed his clan for this so he was finding a way to stop them and siding with Hao is the only way he knew.]]

* BeardOfSorrow: [[spoiler: A reeeeeeeeeaaaaally long one in ''Marcos''.]]

* DeathSeeker: Has shades of this by the end of the original manga, [[spoiler: but it's taken up several notches in ''Marcos''. Peyote's so upset at being ripped away from Hao via his resurrection that he has no will to live; he even asks the X-Laws to kill him so he can rejoin the Great Spirit and be closer to Hao.]]
* FanBoy: It's clear that Peyote's loyal to Hao, but he also appears to be borderline obsessed with him. He asserts that he loves Hao more than anyone; all of his tattoos have something to do with Hao; [[spoiler: he would rather be dead if it meant he could stay with Hao]].
* NighInvulnerability: [[spoiler: In ''Shaman King: Marcos'', it's revealed that Santa Muerte (as in the Mexican ''Goddess of Death'') got obsessed with him and prevents him from dying, to the point he survives several bullets in the middle of a cartel fight.]]

* BadPowersGoodPeople: [[spoiler: In ''Flowers'', Sati revealed that her guardian spirit, Dainichi Nyorai, is one of the avatars of the ''real archangel Lucifer'', not the one created by Luchist which is only an artificial spirit. This is the reason why she's didn't want to become Shaman King when she had the power to do so.]]

* FriendlyEnemy: They never once antagonized Yoh's group outside of their designated battles and [[spoiler: resurrected them whenever they died to train their Furyoku. They even helped them gain their elemental spirits while invading the plants.]]

* BadassNormal: He is not a shaman. Despite this he manages to [[spoiler: kill Mohamed Tabarsi (by sneak attack while the latter was distracted by Peyote just killing Hang Zang-Ching, but still) and stall entire Hana-Gumi team attack before Peyote can finish them off. In manga only, him not believing in the afterlife also allows him to resist Kanna's Forbidden Killing Curse, which is otherwise an OneHitKO]].
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: Kills Mohamed Tabarsi this way]].
* ImprobableAimingSkills: [[spoiler: Kills Turbine with single shot in his face from a pistol while the latter was jumping to attack Peyote. Considering nobody noticed him before that, he was also most likely good distance from his target]].

* WalkingSpoiler: She plays a big role in the Finale and Hao's final decision regarding humanity.

* PhlebotinumMuncher: Again, these guys grow in power by eating other spirits. (The Spirit of Fire indicates this by revealing his FangsAreEvil). [[spoiler: This may or may not be the case within the Great Spirit itself, as it can be assumed the GS has enough power to allow the five spirits to assume their main forms without having to eat anyone]].

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the 4Kids dub, while she's still portrayed as Yoh's love interest. Anna's abrasiveness and arrogance is played up considerably more to a point where she became TheFriendNobodyLikes to most of Yoh's other friends and allies.
