History Characters / UshioAndToraVillains

The three Kamaitachi brothers from the West, they're a murderous trio of psychos who like to take human form for trivial reasons.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the manga Hakumen is described with golden fur and a spotless white face. In the anime adaptation, Hakumen is completely white.

* ShesAManInJapan: Downplayed example, but in the original Japanese is voiced by Creator/MegumiHayashibara and, given his tendency to assume female form and ties to mythological Kitsune/Huli Jing figures such as Da Ji and Tamamo-no-mae, is implied to be female, and is referred to with feminine pronouns and adjectives in the Italian translation, while in the English one has a male voice actor and is referred to as male. Then again, given that Hakumen is an EldritchAbomination, he may not have a proper gender, but the fact that it was born of pure Yin (which has feminine attributes) lean towards that.

* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Best seen when she's naked.

* BodyOfBodies:Aside from being composed of Hiyo, there's a "face" on his back formed by naked female bodies outlining two eye sockets and a mouth.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: He seriously thinks that a little organization and a barrier-altering monster can make the difference when it comes to Hakumen.

* * UnderestimatingBadassery: Spends the entire battle treating Tora like a nuisance. Tora eventually tears him apart while inside the portrait world, allowing Ushio to recover Reiko.

* AlienBlood: Like all the other Youkai, Fusuma bleeds magenta blood.

* AbusiveParents: To her "daughter", Shizuri, who she wants to use as a tool of vengeance, threatening her beloved if she doesn't summon the blizzard on Sapporo. [[spoiler: Still loves her enough to cry upon seeing her becoming human and being together with the man she loves.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Leads the northern Youkai in the final battle against Hakumen. It's her only appearence in the anime.]]

* IasQuiteALooker: In her youth, she was just as pretty as her daughter.

* WickedWitch: She's an old, long-nosed crone with power over snow and storms. Bonus points for obstructing a love story between her beautiful daughter and a valiant human.

* NinjaMaid: A literal maid whos' a crazed water Homunculus.

* BodyHorror: Resembles a colossal,monstrous crab with screaming human faces on his claws.

* ArcVillain: The main, mindless threat in the H.A.M.M.R. arc.

* StalkerWithACrush: He's fallen for Fubuki, known as the "Stone Princess" for her emotionless face and inability to emote at all. Creepily enough, he's in love with her lack of emotions more than anything else.
* SummonMagic: He's always surrounded by a bunch of Shikigami, taking the form of hulking white monsters with large claws and fangs. He seems to be much more skilled than his colleagues, as seen when the court Onmyoji can only summon black serpent-like Shikigami which are quickly killed by his creations.

A monstrous chinese demon who lived near Guishan (Lit. Ghost Mountain), a demonic place next to the edenic forest of Tohua Yuan, resembling a monstrous spike-covered winged tiger with two heads. Qiong Qi deeply hates the Immortals of Tohua Yuan and is always ready to ambush and devour them. Based on the namesake monster from ''Myth/ChineseMythology''.

* CriminalDoppelganger: Ok, Tora himself is no saint, but the fake one lacks any standard the real one had.

* KillAndReplace: Tries to do this to Tora when found out. It doesn't go as smoothly as he thought...

An horrible toad-like Youkai dwelling in a gutter: he can grant the wishes of anyone dropping a coin down his hole... but in exchange he'll want to devour the wisher!

* BadSamaritan: You want money? He'll give you money. Don't expect to be able to spend the money because in return you must let him devour you!

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: How Ushio destroys it.

* NightmareFace: When she confirms that Kirio was just a puppet, she showcases a nightmarish KubrickStare while her lower face is shadowed, safe for jagged teeth.

A black-furred Azafuse who was found by Hakumen and persuaded to forsake revenge and side with her. Evil and despicable even as a human, Guren fights with three spiritual swords embedded in his muzzle. [[spoiler: He's also the one who devoured Hyo's family.]]

* ObviouslyEvil: Pitch black? Red eyes? Katana blades embedded in his face? Yup...

* DesignatedGirlFight: She ends up fighting Kagari twice.

* ImproptuTracheotomy: Raishin attacks him with a scythe so fast the blade, even whittled down to a sharp stick by Kyo's spinning blades, still impales him in the neck. It's not fatal, but forces Kyo to take Raishin seriously.

* CuteAndPsycho: He's rather cute looking, but is the most deranged and bloodthirsty of the three.

* FlatCharacter: Invoked, Yo's only trait is being an insane killer: when Kagari and Raishin finally realize that, they lose any simpathy he could have aroused.

* WeaksauceWeakness: According to Tora, he has but two weaknesses: fire and laquered teeth. He hangs a lampshade on how unpractical these weaknesses are.

* CharacterTic: Nadoka is often seen grasping his throat with one of his hands.

* ReadingsAreOffScale: Just like with the Beast Spear and Tora, the Kirilian's readings of the Fragments are incredibly high and growing.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Don't warn Shippei Taro".

* SuperPersistantPredator: Each year, for five years, the cat monster attacked the same man in an attempt to devour his daughter.

* {{Bishonen}}: His human form is lithe and effeminate, to the point of having {{Guyliner}}. He shreds it almost immediately though.

-->" Isn't that obvious? [[KickTheSonOfABitch You're a slowpoke]]."

* BladeOnAStick: His main weapon is a naginata, which he can employ with great skill.

* BladeOnAStick: Always carries a naginata with him.

* PinocchioSyndrome: He used to be a normal young monkey, who one day express the wish that he could be a real human. This apparently motivated him to try and become a real human, but he lost himself and claims to do it only to hunt more people.

* OverprotectiveDad: Reiko's father, who was driven mad due to his wife leaving him for one of his students. Shortly after he dies, his spirit turns into a demon which haunts her and prevents any boy from getting too close to her. At least until Ushio and Tora put a stop to it.
* PapaWolf: {{Deconstructed}}, after being abandoned by his wife who cheated on him with his best student, Michio went insane with grief and became obsessed with keeping Reiko close to him. Even as a Oni, he will harm anyone trying to "take her away" from him, but is still considerate enough to try and rescue her when she attempts suicide by falling.

* FanDisservice: She often appears in the nude, but thanks to UncannyValley she's not exactly a good looker.

* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Best seen when she's naked. While it's typical of Fujita's style, in her case it's probably for UncannyValley.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: They are all dark skinned and have fair hair on their heads. Then again, those are Youkai.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: His blades, Kenjin (Swirling Blades) rotates at high speeds, with deadly results for those caught in range.

* {{Hellhound}}: Mostly resembles a monstrous, dragon-like demonic dog, often with multiple heads. Wiki/TheOtherWiki points out that he's rather Inugami-like.

* KnifeNut: As part of his Namahage ensemble, he wields a massive butcher knife. His introductory chapter is even called "The Death with the Knife".

* PinocchioSyndrome: He used to be a normal young monkey, close to a IllGirl, who one day express the wish that he could be a real human. This apparently motivated him to try and become a real human, but he lost himself and claims to do it only to hunt more people.
