11	-> Voiced by: Creator/RieKugimiya (JP), Creator/BrinaPalencia (EN)
12	The apathetic 14-year old protagonist of the series. Although Nabari's most powerful secret art, the Shinrabanshou (lit. All Things in Nature), is literally written into his body and he is venerated by all of Nabari's ninja as king, Miharu cares little about his gift's profound merits. His only goal is to [[IJustWantToBeNormal inherit the family's okonomiyaki store]].
13
14	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Male example. He’s not exactly interested to [[JumpedAtTheCall jump at the call.]]
15	* AmbiguouslyGay: Is extremely devoted to another boy, will manipulate other boys with his own cuteness either to his own advantage or [[ItAmusedMe just for fun]] and never seems interested romantically in girls.
16	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Fuuma killed him as a child, but his mother revived him.]]
17	* BirdsOfAFeather: Seemingly the basis of his friendship with Yoite; both are [[JadeColoredGlasses jaded]], withdrawn [[TheStoic stoics]] ([[NotSoStoic at first]]) fighting a war with little personal meaning to them. Miharu even calls Yoite "another me."
18	* BlessedWithSuck: He has the Shinrabanshou, meaning he’s a potential target.
19	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The Shinrabanshou.
20	* DeadpanSnarker: Prone to snarking others.
21	-->'''Miharu:''' (''after Tobari tells him he's a ninja'') Prove it.\
22	'''Tobari:''' Here's (''does'') a ninja pose. (''beat'') That didn't prove anything, did it?\
23	'''Miharu:''' (''with fake enthusiasm'') Wow! You really are a ninja! (''Tobari does a FaceFault while Miharu sprouts little [[GoodWingsEvilWings devil wings]] and a tail'')
24	* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Uses his charm to get out of bad situations.
25	* EmotionlessBoy: Starts off the series with a very muted, apathetic personality. [[spoiler: He becomes much more expressive over the course of the series.]]
26	%%* ForgetsToEat
27	* FriendlessBackground: He doesn’t have a lot of friends at the beginning. He doesn’t exactly care.
28	* FuumaShuriken: Sometimes creates large shuriken (manga only)
29	* IJustWantToBeNormal: Doesn't want to have anything to do with the world of Nabari.
30	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's aloof, snarky, and apathetic, but when you really get to know him, he's a sweet kid.
31	* LackOfEmpathy: One of his defining traits at the beginning of the manga.
32	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: Barely remembers anything from his childhood. It slowly comes back.]]
33	* PickyEater: Miharu lives on a diet of mostly sweets and liquids, which would explain why he weighs all of 77 pounds.
34	* RaisedByGrandparents: His grandmother looks after him. [[spoiler: With his parents dead, he kinda has to live with her.]]
35	%%* SavedByCanon: [[spoiler: Sort of.]]
36	* SayMyName: Says Yoite's name a lot, though given his [[EmotionlessBoy subdued nature]] it's less loud than the the typical example. In the manga's last chapter when he calls Yoite's name [[spoiler: as they reunite, and repeats it while gazing at the scar on his hand after they separate.]]
37	* ScarsAreForever: The scar Miharu gets on his hand from stopping Yoite from killing Yae Oda [[spoiler: is brought up again at the very end of the manga]].
38	* TheStoic: Is apathetic to pretty much everything. [[NotSoStoic Once Yoite is in the picture, though...]]
39	* StoppedCaring: At least in the beginning where he doesn’t exactly care about his duties.
40	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks nearly identical to his mother, Asahi. It's almost kind of creepy.
41	* SugarAndIcePersonality: He’s usually snarky, apathetic, and just doesn’t care about anything. At least on the surface and at first. He shows he cares about his friends greatly.
42	* UsedToBeASweetKid: He wasn’t always a stoic kid. [[spoiler: He lost his parents as a child and the memory is blocked in his head.]]
43	* {{Troll}}: Whenever his "little devil" persona kicks in. Complete with little wings and a tail popping up out of nowhere.

48	-> Voiced by: Creator/SatoshiHino (JP), Chris Burnett (EN)
49	One of Miharu's classmates, Aizawa is the leader of the school's Nindou club.
50
51	* BadassBookworm: Aizawa Kouichi seems like a mild-mannered and well-spoken young man often taken aback by his friends' quirks and isn't the best at ninja techniques...except when push comes to shove, he becomes a cool, level-headed, and actually professional ninja who doesn't hesitate to kill, brainwash, and [[spoiler:do whatever it takes to free himself from the curse of immortality, even if it means siding with the enemy village.]]
52	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He’s a kind and thoughtful person, but you shouldn’t push his buttons.
53	* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler: Views his immortality as a curse, having grown weary after living for so long.]]
54	* CuteAndPsycho: [[spoiler:Can come off as crazy when he's defeating people and [[PsychoticSmirk smiling]] while he does it.]]
55	* FuumaShuriken: Enlarged a shuriken (anime only)
56	* HellishPupils: At times. [[spoiler: Presumably because he's not completely human.]]
57	* IJustWantToBeNormal: He and [[spoiler: Shijima]] never wanted [[spoiler: their immortality]] and have grown weary of it over time.
58	* {{Immortality}}: [[spoiler: As it turns out, he’s not exactly human, but rather an owl with immortality. He’d like nothing more than to be free of it.]]
59	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Has shades of this relationship with Shijima.
60	* MysticalWhiteHair: Unlike raven-haired Miharu and Kumohira and blonde Raimei, he has white hair. [[spoiler:Because unlike them, he's not human.]]
61	* NiceGuy: In contrast to Miharu, he’s shown to regularly be friendly.
62	* OfficialCouple: With Raimei, bordering on being a BetaCouple to [[AmbiguouslyGay Miharu and Yoite]].
63	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler: He’s been around for a long time and would like to die.]]
64	* RedEyesTakeWarning: While he apparently isn't evil, he's certainly more ruthless than he first appears, and he's definitely planning something behind his team's back. Plus, he's [[spoiler:immortal, and not exactly human]].
65	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Raimei's Red. He’s smart and calculating while the latter tends to go into combat without thought.
66	* ScaryShinyGlasses: If his glasses get to this, you’re likely on the verge of an ass-whooping.
67	* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:He dies in the manga, finally getting his wish to be free of his immortality, but lives in the anime]].
68	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[spoiler:He's actually an owl with a human heart who was made immortal by a previous hijutsu user. He wants Miharu to free him from the "curse" of immortality.]]

72	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/39416_6356_1029.jpg]]
73	-> Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (JP), Creator/EricVale (EN)
74	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, Tobari is the most vehement dissident against Miharu using the Shinrabanshou, instead advocating its permanent seal.
75
76	* AfraidOfNeedles: Tobari'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.
77	* ButtMonkey: He can't ever seem to catch a break.
78	* ButNotTooForeign: Partially Irish.
79	* {{Determinator}}: Nothing will stop him from protecting his allies.
80	* FailureKnight: His devotion to Miharu is partially because of his guilt from failing to seal the Shinrabanshou 10 years ago.
81	* FatalFlaw: He's [[ThouShaltNotKill morally unable to take a life]], which makes it hard for him to protect Miharu. Multiple characters call him out on this. [[spoiler: He finally gets over it by killing Hattori in the anime and Fuuma in the manga]].
82	* TheMentor: Of sorts. He’s Miharu, Koichi, and Raimei’s teacher and helps guide them at times.
83	* MyGreatestFailure: Not protecting [[spoiler: Akatsuki, Asahi, and his grandfather]] and failing to seal the Shinrabanshou. The guilt from this incident weighs pretty heavily on him, compounded by the fact that he's the only person who remembers what happened.
84	* PapaWolf: Towards his students.
85	* PhenotypeStereotype: Averted: Kumohira is partly Irish, and he does have blue eyes, but with dark hair instead of blond.
86	* {{Oireland}}: Averted: Kumohira averts almost all of the typical Oirish stereotypes, including drinking.
87	* ThouShaltNotKill: His personal moral code won't let him kill anyone. While this makes him one of the more honorable shinobi, it also complicates his mission to protect Miharu.

93	[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Raimei_7776.png]]
94	-> Voiced by: Creator/AyumiFujimura (JP), Creator/KateOxley (EN)
95	The female lead of the series. She is a samurai of the Shimizu clan and has sworn to kill her older brother Raikou, who annihilated the clan 5 years ago.
96
97	* ActionGirl: A capable young samurai.
98	* BadassAdorable: A blonde girl with pigtails and can kick your ass with ease.
99	* BreakTheCutie: Being the SoleSurvivor of your brother’s massacre of your clan will do that.
100	* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Raikou's Cain. She’s firmly on the side of good while he fights against her. [[spoiler: [[HeelFaceTurn At least at first.]]]]
101	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was the SoleSurvivor of her brother’s massacre of their clan for reasons she doesn’t know.
102	* {{Determinator}}: Nothing will stop her from getting the job done.
103	* HeroesPreferSwords: Wields a katana and is the only one of the main characters to do so.
104	* GenkiGirl: She's energetic and friendly, but does have her angsty moments.
105	* GirlishPigtails: Her hair is tied up in pigtails and can be feminine on her off time.
106	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She’s blonde and despite her HotBlooded attitude, she’s a honest girl and tries to protect her allies.
107	* HonorBeforeReason: She refuses to trick her opponents, preferring to face them head-on.
108	* HotBlooded: Very. She’ll dive into combat first thing if it’s possible.
109	* NewTransferStudent: Raimei's case is a little strange in that she just sort of...invades. The other students seem to love her, though.
110	* ObliviousToLove: She doesn't appear too aware of Kouichi's romantic feelings for her. [[spoiler:At least, until Kouichi has to go.]]
111	* PluckyGirl: Remarkably cheerful considering [[DarkAndTroubledPast her past]]. She's also a {{Determinator}} when fighting and in regards to her RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Raikou.
112	* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Kouichi and Miharu's Blue.
113	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against Raikou for killing their family. [[spoiler: She stops after learning that he was acting in self-defense and didn't kill their parents.]]
114	* RunningGag: Her tendency to mistake people for each other when she's excited about something.
115	* {{Samurai}}: A self-styled one. She's HotBlooded and more focused on honor than most of the ninja around her.
116	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She’s a samurai, but she wears pigtails and typically wears a skirt.
117	* TownGirls: The Butch to Saraba's Femme and Juuji's Neither.
118	* {{Tsundere}}: She's a minor example, but she still retains aspects of a Type B around Kouichi, Miharu, and Kumohira.

123	-> Voiced by: Creator/RyotaroOkiayu (JP), Creator/SonnyStrait (EN)
124	The leader of Fuuma Village. He loves women as he claims that if he had the power of the Shinrabanshou, he would turn the Fuuma Village into a paradise where all the world's women are in love with him.
125
126	* BigBad: [[spoiler:Turns out to be the series' true villain, wanting the Shinrabanshou to himself]].
127	* BewareTheSillyOnes: [[CampStraight Flamboyance]] aside, he's a competent leader and can be quite the ManipulativeBastard. [[spoiler: He's also the BigBad and has been manipulating ''everyone'' in order to get the Shinrabanshou.]]
128	* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Appears as a benevolent, if silly leader, but he’s the BigBad and [[WouldHurtAChild killed Miharu when the boy was]] ''[[WouldHurtAChild four]]''.]]
129	* CampStraight: Wears a big white bow in his hair, teases male characters and invades their personal space, and talks in an exaggerated, flowery manner...but he also wants to turn Fuuma village/possibly the entire ninja world into his harem.
130	* DoubleAgent: [[spoiler:He’s the founder of both Kasa and Fuuma, meaning he’ll trick anyone should he need to.]]
131	* EvilAllAlong: At first, he seems to be a benevolent leader despite some of his antics. [[spoiler: He’s the true BigBad.]]
132	* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler: He’s cheerful, but it hides a dangerous immortal that will do anything.]]
133	* ForScience: In stark contrast to Tobari, he's willing to sacrifice the lives of his own men to achieve his goals [[spoiler: and willing to kill countless others to gain the power of the Shinrabanshou]].
134	* FourEyesZeroSoul: Proves himself [[spoiler: soulless by killing a four-year-old.]]
135	* HandsomeLech: He may be a CasanovaWannabe, but no one can deny he’s pretty.
136	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Loosely based off of the real-life [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fūma_Kotarō Fuuma Kotaro]].
137	* {{Immortality}}: He’s been around for a very long time.
138	* LackOfEmpathy: Despite his apparent benevolence, he's not the most sympathetic. When Kato is revealed to be TheMole, Fuuma is far from sympathetic to him or Oda. [[spoiler:Makes sense since he's the true BigBad.]]
139	* LargeHam: He has very flamboyant mannerisms.
140	* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: He’s responsible for everything wrong in the series and messed with everyone.]]
141	* ManipulativeBastard: It turns out that [[spoiler: Fuuma's been tricking, playing with and manipulating everyone from the very beginning.]]

154	* CoolBigSis: To Raimei and Juuji, so long as they’re not in combat.
155	* NoNameGiven: Her full name is never given.

170	* ShipTease: It doesn't go anywhere, but she's noted to have a small crush on Miharu. It may be IncompatibleOrientation, given the implications Miharu is gay.
171	* TokenMiniMoe: The youngest of the main cast.
172	* TownGirls: The Neither to Raimei's Butch and Saraba's Femme.

181	The leader of the Iga clan and the Kairoushuu. His ideal is to change history and achieve equality among humans with the Shinrabanshou. Hattori takes in many outcasts, offering them a place in the Kairoushuu. Despite this kindness, though, Hattori has little qualms about [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness eliminating those who oppose him.]]
182
183	* BigBadWannabe: He looks like the BigBad of the series [[spoiler: but it's actually Fuuma]].
184	* DarkMessiah: He’s pretty dangerous and thinks he’s the equivalent to a god.
185	* TheHeavy: Hattori appears to drive most of the plot, though he [[spoiler:isn't actually the]] BigBad -- [[spoiler: [[TheManBehindTheMan Fuuma]] is]].
186	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hattori_Hanzō Hattori Hanzou]], who, unsurprisingly, was the rival of the real-life Fuuma Kotarou.

197	* AffablyEvil: Is nice enough to [[spoiler:thank her boss for his help as he lays there dying--after ''she'' stabbed him]].

199	* DeadpanSnarker: Never wastes time with a cutting remark.

203	* NoNameGiven: Her full name is never given.
204	* OlderThanTheyLook: She's supposedly ''49''.

212	-> Voiced by: Creator/MitsukiSaiga (JP), Creator/JoelMcDonald (EN)
213	A 16-year-old ninja who uses the Iga's kinjutsushō "Kira", a technique that shoots the user's ki into the target's body and controls it from the inside out, causing the target's bones to break or their body to completely explode. The cost of using this technique is the [[CastFromLifespan loss of the user's life force]].
214
215	* AbusiveParents: His mom died of childbirth and spent most of his childhood locked up.
216	* AmbiguouslyGay: Like Miharu--he seems to see Miharu as his main reason for staying alive.
217	* BadassLongcoat: Yoite is almost never seen without some sort of thick, black coat. He won't take it off, even if it's the middle of summer or if he's soaking wet.
218	* BigEater: Yoite can be seen eating huge amounts of food in the background of various scenes. He'll eat just about anything since [[spoiler:his Kira skill is robbing him of all his senses, and has already taken his sense of taste.]]
219	* BerserkButton: Being called an Emo Kid, in the dub. In the manga, it was being called "cute".
220	* BlessedWithSuck: Kira is a huge advantage in battle, but is also CastFromLifespan.
221	* BrokenBird: Due to [[spoiler: his abusive childhood]] and the fact that he's going to die soon.
222	* CastFromLifespan: The Kira technique is powered by Yoite's LifeEnergy.
223	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Kira, which is cast from his lifespan and thus slowly killing him.
224	* {{Deuteragonist}}: According to the author, Yoite and Miharu are the series' two protagonists [[spoiler:despite Yoite's absence after his death]].
225	* DisproportionateRetribution: Tried to kill a delivery guy for calling him "an emo kid" ("cute" in the manga).
226	* TheEeyore: Starts out under a permanent {{Angst}} cloud (PlayedForDrama since it's due to his [[DarkAndTroubledPast very troubled past]]). He becomes happier over the course of the series.
227	* EnigmaticMinion: Works a lot on his own, including his request to Miharu. Unlike some of his teammates, he doesn't care about Kairoushuu's mission at all; rather, his greatest desire is for his wish to be granted.
228	* HandicappedBadass: Regularly faints, always coughing his lungs out, can barely hear or see by chapter 50. Not that his opponents can tell.
229	* HatesBeingTouched: Though he ends up allowing Miharu to touch him sometimes, "'''Don't touch me''" is easily the phrase he says the most.
230	* HiddenHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: Yoite reveals to Miharu that he didn't really ever have his friends as hostages because he didn't want them to die with him if he ever died unexpectedly]].
231	* IJustWantToBeNormal: He’s handicapped and has so little time to live.
232	* IncurableCoughOfDeath: One symptom of Yoite's condition.
233	* IntersexTribulations: [[spoiler:We don't learn the specifics, but Kazuho says he's "neither male nor female." It's taken by his parents and Yoite himself as another sign that he's cursed and shouldn't have been born.]]
234	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: [[spoiler:Everyone calls him Yoite, but his actual name is Sora Koudou.]]
235	* OnlyOneName: He seemingly doesn't have one. [[spoiler:His real name is Sora Koudou. Considering his abusive childhood, it makes sense he doesn’t use it.]]
236	* TheQuietOne: Actually gets tired from talking for a few minutes since he's used to being silent.
237	* RetGone: [[spoiler:His final fate. While Miharu and Yukimi remember his impact on them, they forgot everything else.]]
238	* RavenHairIvorySkin: Has dark hair and pale skin, but is very beautiful.
239	* TheRunaway: [[spoiler: Ran from home after his family tried to kill him.]]
240	* ScarsAreForever: Has a scar [[spoiler: on his neck from when his parents tried to kill him.]]
241	* {{Shinigami}}: Called one by multiple characters. Flashbacks reveal that [[spoiler: he was called this even before he obtained Kira; family members (possibly his parents) claimed he was a shinigami who had killed his mother.]]
242	* WhenHeSmiles: ''Wow''. When he does, it is absolutely adorable.
243	* YourDaysAreNumbered: When Yoite is introduced, he has only a few more months to live.

253	* BadassNormal: No ninja arts and physical abilities, yet holds a gun with no problem.
254	* BoringButPractical: Yukimi doesn't do very many fancy ninja techniques or amazing physical feats. He does, however, have a gun.
255	* ChildHater: Self-claimed. It doesn't stop him from being a PapaWolf, though.
256	* GoodAllAlong: At first he seems like an antagonist, but he’s a PunchClockVillain who takes a HeelFaceTurn rather quick.
257	* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Loses his arm, yet can still fight like normal.]]

277	-> Voiced by: Creator/JunichiSuwabe (JP), Creator/JMichaelTatum (EN)
278	A 20-year-old samurai of the Shimizu clan. When he was fifteen, he single-handedly massacred his entire clan, with the exception of his sister Raimei.
279
280	* AloofBigBrother: To Raimei. [[spoiler: He does love her in the end.]]
281	* AmbiguouslyGay: Like with Miharu, there are hints that he’s gay. [[spoiler:He goes through a lot to save Gau.]]
282	* BigBrotherInstinct: On occasion, he displays hints of this trope towards Raimei. It's rare.
283	* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Raimei's Abel.
284	* ComedicSociopathy: His abusive treatment of Gau would actually qualify as [[DomesticAbuse domestic violence]] if Gau actually minded it.
285	* DefiantToTheEnd: In the manga. Luckily, he [[spoiler:doesn't die from it.]]
286	* {{Determinator}}: He will get anything done and won’t stop.
287	* TheDragon: Was Hattori's right-hand man at one point.
288	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Manages to drive his car into a river on his first try.
289	* FailureKnight: His decision to save Gau despite his being from the surface world stems from the regret he felt from not saving his best friend five years ago.
290	* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Raikou is convinced that Gau won't wake up from his coma because he doesn't want to see his face. Which might be justified if it was anyone else, but it's ''[[HeroWorshipper Gau]]'' we're talking about here...
291	%%* HonorBeforeReason
292	* IconicOutfit: His infamous [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WAAAAT_1901.png "USA-CHAN" outfit]]. It's amazingly well-known for something he was only shown wearing for a ''single panel'' in the manga.
293	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Has long hair and is amongst the prettiest of the male characters.
294	* MustMakeAmends: After accidentally [[spoiler: causing Gau to fall into a coma, Raikou does everything in his power to find a way to save him, including reading tons of medical books and going to Alya Academy in hopes of using Daya on Gau.]]

306	-> Voiced by: Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (JP), Creator/GregAyres (EN)
307	Raikou's extemely devoted partner. He assists Raikou with his responsibilities to the Kairoushuu, usually compiling reports and taking samples from their targets.
308
309	* ButtMonkey: Often on the receiving end of Raikou's physical abuse.
310	* DistressedDude: He gets kidnapped and would end up being a cause in [[spoiler: Raikou’s HeelFaceTurn.]]
311	* FanBoy: Of Raikou. Bordering on AmbiguouslyGay.
312	* HeelFaceTurn: He was barely a Heel, but he’d eventually defect from the Kairoushuu.
313	* HeroWorshipper: He’s firmly loyal to Raikou.
314	* HotBlooded: Gau's [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/24-10_2989.jpg default mode]].
315	* HypercompetentSidekick: To Raikou. Despite being a very talented swordsman, Raikou isn't very competent in the more real-world life skills, particularly admin work, which is where Gau dutifully and diligently picks up the slack.
316	* {{Keet}}: Very energetic and usually cheerful.
317	* MoralityPet: Stops [[TheDragon Raikou]] from going too far [[spoiler: by [[TakingTheBullet blocking a katana slash meant for Raimei]]]]. Later on, his concern for [[spoiler: Yoite]] drives Raikou's [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]].
318	%%* PayEvilUntoEvil
319	* TenderTears: Cries when he meets Raikou for the first time, when Raikou tells him about his past, when he gets slashed by Raikou, when he intervenes in [[spoiler: Raikou and Yukimi]]'s fight, when he calls Yukimi on the cellphone, when [[spoiler: Raikou gets stabbed]], etc, etc...
320	* TokenGoodTeammate: He’s the most idealistic and easily the nicest of the Kairoushuu. He barely picks a fight with the protagonists and tries to reason with them. [[spoiler: His sacrifice is what causes a chain that would get Raikou to pull a HeelFaceTurn.]]
321	* {{Tsurime Eyes}}: Has slanted, cat-like eyes, although they get a bit droopier through ArtEvolution.
322	* UndyingLoyalty: Completely devoted to Raikou. He only disobeys him once, [[spoiler: and was willing to die as punishment for that]].
323	* WideEyedIdealist: The most idealistic member of Kairoushuu. He believes they're changing the world for the better and can do so even more using the Shinrabanshou.
324	* YesMan: Gau is described as being "Raikou's little yes-man". So much so, that Kazuho and Yukimi are both taken-aback when Gau absentmindedly expresses doubt in front of Raikou on his course of action.

377	* YamatoNadeshiko: By virtue of being TeamMom and probably the nicest character in the series. The "core of steel" part shows through when she thinks Yukimi might take her hostage; she offhandedly comments that it probably wouldn't work on Tobari.

385	* MamaBear: Sought revenge for her daughter. [[spoiler:She doesn't take it well when her employees are murdered.]]
