25	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow.
26	* KissingUnderTheInfluence: Sorta. In the manga, a half-conscious (due to a fever) Yorihisa manages to accidentally kiss Akane when she gets too close. Might count as an inversion of DudeShesLikeInAComa.

63	* CatchPhrase: ''Mondai nai'' ("No problem").
64	* EmotionalMaturityIsPhysicalMaturity: Subverted in the manga. He is clever enough for his apparent age, but his understanding of human emotions is on the level of a small child.

66	* PaperTalisman: Uses ''ofuda'' routinely.
67	* ThePowerOfLove: Implied (and pretty much stated directly in the game) to be the means for Yasuaki to become human.
68	* TheStoic: Although how much emotions he ''does'' have varies greatly depending on the version.

73
74	* OnlyOneName.

76	!!! Akuram[=*=] (voiced by Creator/RyotaroOkiayu)
77
78	* TheBigBad: From the main characters' point of view, at least.
79	* TheChessmaster: Even uses the associated metaphors at some points.
80	* {{Guyliner}}: Not ''really'' (probably), but in ''Ajisai Yumegatari'' he does look like he is wearing lipstick when compared to the rest of the guys.
81	* MaskOfPower: Literally. This comes up near the end of ''Hachiyou Shou'' TV and subsequently in ''Oborosoushi'', when the Hachiyou need to do something to depower him.

86	* TheDragon: Explicitly identifies himself as one.

111	* SnotBubble: In one ''Hachiyou Shou'' OAV.
112	* WingedHumanoid.
113	* {{Youkai}}: Though a more human-like one, as the manga lampshades the fact that he lacks the long nose, one of the Tengu's traits.
114

116
117	* BabiesEverAfter: With Iktidar in ''Hachiyou Shou'' TV.

140

202	!! The Mikos
203
204	!!! Kasuga Nozomi - the Dragon-God/White Dragon Miko (voiced by Creator/TomokoKawakami)
205
206	* ActionGirl: In a drastic difference from her predecessors, Nozomi learns to use a sword and participates in battles directly instead of just hanging around to purify stuff.
207	* HeroesPreferSwords: The first time the franchise lives up to this trope. Nozomi fights with a double-bladed Chinese-style sword.
208	* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent.
209
210	!!! Kajiwara Saku - the Dark Dragon Miko (voiced by Creator/HoukoKuwashima)
211
212	* DarkMagicalGirl[=/=]EvilCounterpart: Unusually subverted in that while she still posesses dark powers, she is not only on Nozomi's side, but is arguably one of the nicest characters in the game.
213	* DivineDate: She was deeply in love with her dragon god, Kokuryuu, but he died shortly after they married.
214	* [[WarriorMonk Warrior Nun]]: She renounced the world after Kokuryuu's death and became a nun, but she was recruited into Minatomo no Yoritomo's forces for her ability to exorcise ''onryo''.
215

217
218	!!! Arikawa Masaomi - the Seiryuu of Heaven (voiced by Creator/ShinichiroMiki)
219
220	* {{BFS}}: His weapon is a giant Odachi.
221	* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: He was in the same grade as Nozomi before they were TrappedInAnotherWorld.
222	* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Masaomi ends up spending three extra years in the parallel world due to getting lost during the transition; therefore, when Nozomi meets him there, he is older than her, even though they were originally the same age.
223	* ReplacementGoldfish: The Taira Clan takes him in [[spoiler:based on his resemblance to Taira no Shigemori, the deceased eldest son of the clan patriarch Kiyomori. Kiyomori believes Masaomi is Shigemori reborn,]] while Masaomi is so moved by the kindness of the Taira family that he attempts to use his knowledge of the Genpei War to reverse their fortunes.
224	* TalkingInYourDreams: Before Nozomi learns Masaomi's whereabouts in the other world, they meet in her dreams.
225
226	!!! Minamoto no Kurou Yoshitsune - the Seiryuu of Earth (voiced by Creator/TomokazuSeki)
227
228	* TheExile: Matches history in that he spent some of his youth LockedAwayInAMonastery where he met up with Benkei, before going even further afield to live under the protection of the Oshu Fujiwara family in their city in the north.
229	* EveryJapaneseSwordIsAKatana: His weapon is in fact a tachi, the predecessor of the katana.
230	* HistoricalDomainCharacter[=/=]HistoricalBeautyUpdate.
231	* SkilledButNaive: He is a great warrior and leader with a talent rallying people behind him, but Yoritomo's distrust of him consistently cuts him to the quick.
232
233	!!! Hinoe - the Suzaku of Heaven (voiced by Creator/NaozumiTakahashi)
234
235	* TheCharmer: He is a shameless flirt, and a pretty effective one at that.
236	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: It's implied that "Hinoe" isn't his actual name, but something he made up.
237	* OnlyOneName: And it might not even be his real name.
238	* WolverineClaws: Fights using Katar daggers.
239
240	!!! Musashibo Benkei - the Suzaku of Earth (voiced by Creator/KoukiMiyata)
241
242	* ChessmasterSidekick: Benkei is, in accordance with folklore, a faithful retainer to Kurou (Yoshitsune). In a departure from folklore, he is also a [[TheStrategist strategist]] who will [[IDidWhatIHadToDo do what he has to do]] to insure that the Genpei War ends, and he decided that Kurou will be the means. Heaven help our heroes if he changes his mind...
243	* HistoricalDomainCharacter[=/=]HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Traditionally Benkei is portrayed as an exceptionally large and powerful man, but this game subverts the conventional portrayal by making Benkei slight of stature and delicate looking.
244
245	!!! Arikawa Yuzuru - the Byakko of Heaven (voiced by Creator/ShigeruNakahara)
246
247	* DreamingOfThingsToCome: The Arikawa family apparently has Star Clan ancestry, and this manifests in Yuzuru in the form of prophetic dreams.
248	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Yuzuru, with his serious demeanor, is definitely the responsible one; his big brother Masaomi is at best a downplayed foolish that borders on ObfuscatingStupidity.
249	* ImprobableAimingSkills: His weapon is a bow and arrows, and he takes the place of Nasu no Yoichi in a famous feat of markmanship.
250	* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: In the grade below Nozomi.
251
252	!!! Kajiwara Kagetoki - the Byakko of Earth (voiced by Creator/KazuhikoInoue)
253
254	* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Works as a spy and assassin for Yoritomo because Yoritomo holds his mother hostage.
255	* AnachronismStew: His character design features a crop top, to go along with his no less anachronistic UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} rifle.
256	* HistoricalDomainCharacter[=/=]HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Kajiwara Kagetoki is known in historical dramas for his backstabbing, but the game recasts him in a sympathetic light.
257
258	!!! Taira no Atsumori - the Genbu of Heaven (voiced by Creator/SoichiroHoshi)
259
260	* ForegoneConclusion: The historical Atsumori is known in ''The Tale of the Heike'' for his tragic death. ''This'' Atsumori [[spoiler:is also dead, although under different circumstances - but was brought back from the dead as an ''onryo''.]] He holds people at arms length because of this.
261	* HistoricalDomainCharacter[=/=]HistoricalBeautyUpdate: While the historical Atsumori was noted for youthful beauty, this Atsumori has a very different set of attractive traits.
262	* WarriorPoet: Plays the flute as an indicator of courtly refinement.
263
264	!!! Ridvan - the Genbu of Earth (voiced by Creator/AkiraIshida)
265
266	* DoomedHometown: Covers his face to conceal scars inflicted when his childhood village burned down.
267	* OldMaster: The oldest of the Hachiyou in ''Haruka 3'' at a ripe old (for shoujo) age of 34, he teaches swordplay to both Kurou and Nozomi.

269
270	!! Other
271
272	!!! Hakuryuu (voiced by Creator/IkueOtani in child form and by Creator/RyotaroOkiayu in adult form)
273
274	* GodInHumanForm: Literally the god that the main character is priestess of.
275	* EmotionalMaturityIsPhysicalMaturity: Seems to be played straight until he grows up, retaining some of the childlike traits - he is simply not used to being among humans.
276	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He is technically hundreds of years old, being a god and all, but gets a form of a ten-year-old kid (and later a twenty-something-year-old {{bishonen}}).
277	* TagalongKid: Until he grows up.
278
279	!!! Taira no Tomomori (voiced by Creator/KenjiHamada)
280
281	* BloodKnight: A fearsome opponent who lives for combat. Despite initial indications he's not AxeCrazy per se. Fighting is just his preferred method of self-expression.
282	* DualWielding: Fights with two swords.
283	* FacialMarkings: Small, un-commented-on markings under his eyes.
284	* ForegoneConclusion: The main thing Tomomori is known for in historical narratives is that he meets a watery death during the battle of Dan no Ura. [[spoiler:And he almost always meets this fate in the game as well. Nozomi has to ''really'' overhaul the timeline to keep him from dying.]]
285	* HistoricalDomainCharacter[=/=]HistoricalBeautyUpdate.
286	* WarriorPoet: As is typical with the Taira Clan, he is also a highly accomplished ''buyo'' dancer.
287
288	!!! Shirogane (voiced by Creator/KenjiHamada)
289
290	* HistoricalDomainCharacter[=/=]HistoricalBeautyUpdate.
291	* IdentityAmnesia: He is a vassal of Fujiwara no Yasuhira and cannot remember his life before coming to Hiraizumi. [[spoiler:He is eventually revealed to be Taira no Shigehira, the younger brother of Tomomori.]]

293	!!! Fujiwara no Yasuhira (voiced by Creator/KosukeToriumi)

309
310	* BunnyEarsLawyer
311	* CoolTeacher
312
313	!!! Ashvin - the Seiryuu of Earth (voiced by Creator/AkiraIshida)
314
315	* WarriorPrince: Ashvin is royalty of [[TheEmpire Tokoyo]]. Since the heroine is [[RebelLeader fighting to free her kingdom]] from Tokoyo, he's a DefectingForLove waiting to happen.
316
317	!!! Sazaki - the Suzaku of Heaven (voiced by Creator/TomokazuSeki)
318
319	* BoisterousBruiser
320	* FieryRedhead

323	!!! Nagi - the Suzaku of Earth (voiced by Creator/KoukiMiyata)
324
325	* DeadpanSnarker
326	* AnOddPlaceToSleep: He's unlikely to admit it, but Nagi loves quiet, out-of-the-way spots to take naps in.
327
328	!!! Futsuhiko - the Byakko of Heaven (voiced by Creator/SoichiroHoshi)
329
330	* BodyguardCrush: His case is unusually pronounced.
331	* {{Samurai}}: More of a proto-samurai.
332
333	!!! Hiiragi - the Byakko of Earth (voiced by Creator/ShinichiroMiki)
334
335	* {{Seers}}: He is the keeper of the game's TomesOfProphecyAndFate.
336
337	!!! Tooya - the Genbu of Heaven (voiced by Creator/NaozumiTakahashi)
338
339	* MagicMusic

341
342	!!! Katsuragi Oshihito - the Genbu of Earth (voiced by Creator/ShigeruNakahara)
343
344	* BlessedWithSuck: Has overwhelming combat abilities, but the drawbacks are severe - [[spoiler:they are simultaneously CastFromHitPoints and CastFromLifespan]].
345	* SternTeacher
346	* TheStoic: To the point of having virtually NoSenseOfHumor.
347
348	!! Other
349
