12	[[folder:Akira Inugami]]
13	->Voiced by: Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (in the OAV's based on the original manga from TheSeventies)
14
15	The main character and one of the last remaining werewolves, Inugami has drifted through life on tides of misfortune, carrying a disdain for humanity and an uncanny ability to avoid death. He strikes up a bond with his new homeroom teacher, the kind and beautiful Ms. Aoshika, despite himself and what he's gone through. So, Inugami goes through the story facing characters that seem to lose themselves by his sheer presence and trying to make sure that his bad luck doesn't rub off on on Ms. Aoshika.
16	----
17	* AnimalMotifs: Wolves. Yes, even when he's not on all fours.
18	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:While all his family and friends think Inugami died after killing Haguro, in truth he was taken to a lab, Phoenix Organ seems to have kidnapped to perform experiments]].
19	* CelibateHero: Inugami, much to Ryuuko's dismay. Though he could simply not be interested in any girl his [[LikesOlderWomen age.]]
20	%%* DeadpanSnarker
21	* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: So Aoshika's been kidnapped, brutally gang-raped, it's the day of the new moon and Akira is as weak as human now. Plus, he got stabbed by Ryuuko and the wound is likely fatal. What to do? How about: run miles to find the warehouse Dou is keeping Aoshika trapped in, leap an eleven foot tall fence in a single bound, kill two Dobermans with his bare hands, completely wipe out a group of guards despite being fired at by a gatling gun that fires 2000-4000 rounds per minute, survive explosions from anti-tank mines, and sneak into the compound to reunite with Ms. Aoshika?]] The guy goes above and beyond to save his lady.
22	* GoodIsNotNice: He'll assist you and be your hero when you need it. But don't expect him to go all: "I helped you, my dear friend"
23	* FantasticRacism: Doesn't think too highly of humans. Later he realizes that this mindset makes him no different from them.
24	* FightMagnet: His scent makes him a macho alpha male by default, this of course, attracts delinquents and bad guys.
25	%%* TheGadfly: Oh yes, the guy loves being a dick for laughs.
26	* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:His mother, Lois, was a werewolf student that also fell in love with her human teacher, Tetsuya. Inugami was born from this union]].
27	* HalfHumanHybrids: [[spoiler: His mom was a werewolf, but his dad was a human.]]
28	%%* HeroicNeutral
29	* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Inugami dies after doing the impossible to kill Haguro, Aoshika mourns in despair, and his aunt keeps her company while she gets to know more about his life. But true to some cases of this trope, it didn't stick, as soon as Aoshika knew all about Inugami's past and found a new resolve to recover, Inugami is seen at a lab, being healed and being a subject of research]].
30	%%* {{Hunk}}: Can you believe he's 15!?
31	* IneffectualLoner: He is also AloneInACrowd and really just wants to be accepted, but doesn't know how to handle all the calamity that befalls all those around him.
32	* JerkWithAHeartofGold: he appears as a dick at the beginning, but he's actually a nice guy at heart.
33	* LadyAndKnight: The (very furry, bitter and ''hurting'') White Knight (sorta) to Aoshika's Bright Lady.
34	* LastOfHisKind: Subverted. He thinks he is, but it's revealed that [[spoiler: Akira Jin is also a werewolf.]]
35	* LockedIntoStrangeness: [[spoiler:by pulling HeroicSecondWind one after another, Inugami's hair turned white, his werewolf form also became white, it simbolizes that he was taking energy from his own life to protect Aoshika and defeat Haguro]].
36	* MeaningfulName: Inugami means God of Dogs.
37	* MrFanservice: He gets his {{shirtless scene}}s.
38	* NobleWolf: He even says so regarding Haguro and his gang.
39	-->'''Inugami:''' Those punks are nothing more than stray dogs, '''WOLVES ARE MUCH MUCH NOBLER!'''
40	%%* PointyEars:
41	%%* TallDarkAndHandsome
42	* TeacherStudentRomance: The only (living) person he shows affection to is Aoshika-sensei. Guess what happens soon... [[spoiler: This seems to run in the family, given that his father was his mother's university professor.]]
43	%%* TroubledButCute
44	* WildChild: Inugami was found with wolves in Alaska after his parents died.
45	* WildHair: He looks like [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]] but with longer hair.
46	%%* WorthLivingFor: For Aoshika.

48
49	[[folder:Akiko Aoshika]]
50	->Voiced by: Creator/YukoSasaki (in the OAV's based in the original manga from TheSeventies)
51
52	A troubled middle school teacher, who is saved by Inugami from a gang of thugs. She's somewhat nosey, more interested in proving herself right that Akira Inugami is a werewolf and less in that she's ''dealing with'' a werewolf, but is otherwise genuinely worried for her student's mental well-being. Concern turns into more complicated things, especially when their student-teacher relationship warps and she falls within range of Inugami's magnetism for mayhem.
53	----
54	* BeautyEqualsGoodness: The most beautiful person in the manga and one of the few with a fully-functional moral compass.
55	* BreakTheCutie: A kind-hearted HotTeacher in a CrapsackWorld? It'd be more surprising if it did not happen.
56	* BrokenBird: Seems to have rape in her BackStory. [[spoiler: She gets even more broken later on, especially when Hagurou decides to use her as bait for Inugami... as well as having her gang-raped. ''Repeatedly''.]]
57	* {{Ephebophile}}: She ends up in love with Inugami who's not older than fifteen.
58	* FanDisservice: Seeing her in her lacy undies should be a reason to {{squee}}. [[spoiler: Not when she's chained to a wall, and about to be brutally gang-raped by Haguro and his goons.]]
59	* HappilyFailedSuicide: [[spoiler:As if being gang-raped, drugged and recorded throughout the second half of the manga wasn't enough to push her over the edge, before her much-needed rescue, Aoshika tries to jump off the hospital's terrace when she hears about Inugami being dead; she is stopped by a wolf who resembles Inugami, and she realizes that he could be alive somewhere and that she has to live in his place and honor. In truth the wolf was Jin, and Aoshika discovers this by herself and talks to Jin in Alaska about it. Thanks to this, she now can recognize each wolf individually and finds a new respect for them. That's where she decides to live in Alaska]].
60	* HotTeacher: One of the most beautiful women in the whole series, if not the prettiest.
61	* LadyAndKnight: The (very beautiful but also very broken) Bright Lady to Inugami's White Knight.
62	%%* MoralityChain: For Inugami. [[spoiler: Once Haguro finds out...]]
63	* MsFanservice: She's a [[HotTeacher very attractive woman]], with a [[BuxomBeautyStandard prominent bust]] and [[HartmanHips hips]].
64	* PluckyGirl: After her rescue, and despite all of the horrific things that she has been through, Aoshika picks herself up and presses on.
65	* SoBeautifulItsACurse: She believes that her body is the cause of all the bad things that happened to her.
66	%%* TeacherStudentRomance: With Inugami.
67	* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:Aoshika finally seems to experience a true recovery this time, after getting to know about Inugami's past, she decides to live in Alaska, at a preservation site, where Inugami was raised by wolves. The wolves accept her presence and she starts to know them better, her body is looking healthy and she is smiling again, also she seems to know wolves so much now that when Inugami wakes up at the Phoenix Organ lab, Aoshika immediately notices something]].
68	* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:Great, Aoshika is saved, but at the moment Inugami is taken for dead; which makes Aoshika sink ''deeper than when she was getting gang raped'', she is not eating anything at the hospital, she can't take Inugami off her mind, and now her body shows signs of malnutrition]].
69	* YoungerThanTheyLook: With everything that happened to her between her [[spoiler:kidnapping and rescue]], the poor woman has visibly aged quite a bit by [[spoiler:the end of the series.]]
70	[[/folder]]
71
72	[[folder:Dou Haguro]]
73	The scariest ninth grader you'll ever meet. Son of a {{Yakuza}}, who develops a... fixation on Inugami sparked by their being near total opposites. Where Inugami is a deliberately passive physical monster that gains a MoralityPet, Haguro is a destructive human being that abuses those closest to him. As the story progresses, this contrast becomes more stark and he grows the more monstrous of the two. Which is his whole intention: to be a true monster. A werewolf around just means he'll have to kick it up a notch. Or twelve.
74	----
75	* AnimalMotifs: A hawk. Special mention goes to his eyes, which are black where they should be white.
76	* AttentionWhore: His motives are best summed up as "How the hell can I get that werewolf to look my way?!" And he persists in this behavior even when his resources would be better spent doing anything else.
77	* AxCrazy: He's an incredibly violent person and this aspect can definitely be seen whenever he's trying to get Inugami's attention.
78	%%* BadassInANiceSuit
79	* BadBoss: Just as dangerous [[YouHaveFailedMe to his allies]] as he is to his enemies.
80	* BigBad: He is the main cause of conflict in this series for the longest time.
81	* BlackEyesOfCrazy: His eyes have black sclera, making him clearly villainous. Later, he becomes murderously insane.
82	* CardCarryingVillain: His ambition in life is to be seen as a monster.
83	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Way stronger than a normal human should be.
84	* CrazyJealousGuy: Do ''not'' go near Inugami. You ''will'' regret it.
85	* CreepyMonotone: Haguro seems to speak that way, initially at least.
86	%%* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:His violent rape of Chiba hints that he's not choosy about his partner, whether they consent or not.]]
87	* DevilInPlainSight: Subverted. Black sclera'd eyes, monstrous strength, emotionless carnage, but ultimately human and vulnerable as such.
88	* DissonantSerenity: [[spoiler: Until Inugami breaks his mind.]]
89	* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:When he is killed by Inugami, the souls of Haguro's victims drag him to the abyss where he belongs.]]
90	* TheDreaded: Students have a massive OhCrap moment when they hear he is coming back to school.
91	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Subverted in one case. Haguro quickly figures out Inugami has at least one altruistic bone in his body and goes after [[spoiler:Aoshika.]] Played straight in that he wants to be Inugami's WorthyOpponent but doesn't understand what would make [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Inugami]] think such a thing about someone.
92	* {{Expy}}: Looks a bit like a younger and more emotionless version of [[Manga/BakiTheGrappler Yujiro Hanma]].
93	* {{Gonk}}: Haguro looks damn near demonic.
94	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:As he tries to hug Inugami in his new transformed state, Haguro [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impales himself on his katana]], which he had imbedded in Inagumi moments prior]].
95	* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Arguably. Haguro was, without a doubt, the strongest and most feared teenager in the city... [[AlwaysABiggerFish until Inugami showed up.]] Can't have that.
96	%%* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Does this a lot.
97	* KatanasAreJustBetter: As befitting a Yakuza.
98	* MaskOfSanity: [[spoiler:It's clear he's as twisted as a Yakuza can be, but he keeps it under control. After encountering Inugami as a werewolf, his sanity takes a nosedive.]]
99	* PowerBornOfMadness: The reason behind his seemingly inhuman strength. His hatred and envy of Inugami and anything remotely supernatural and his desire to wipe them out fuels his strength.
100	* ShonenHair: Kinda like Manga/{{Akumetsu}}. [[EpilepticTrees Wait a]] [[ShadowArchetype second]]...
101	* SlasherSmile: Some of his expressions in later chapters seem inspired by ''Film/TheManWhoLaughs''.
102	* TheSociopath: The apex example in this series. He causes people to suffer without any remorse and only cares about what he wants. He'll manipulate others and be extremely violent without much reason to do so.
103	* TheUnfettered: He'll do ''anything'' to get Inugami's attention. Including [[spoiler:having Aoshika raped on camera for him to see]].
104	* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Has an epic one after seeing Inugami's true form.]]
105	* VillainousValour: [[spoiler:When he makes a stand against Ogre-Chiba.]]
106	* WorthyOpponent: Wants desperately for Inugami to see him as one.
107	* {{Yandere}}: Towards Inugami. He cuts himself all over his arm, carves the word "Inu" onto his hand, and has an orgasm while thinking about Inugami when having violent sex with his girlfriend. He beats down, craps on, and ''rapes'' [[spoiler:his own subordinate, Chiba]] and tears out his tongue as he's kissing him. The poor guy gets put into the hospital because Haguro beat him to the point that all his organs ruptured and his bones broke and he ends up dying. [[spoiler:Though he gets better]]. All because Chiba ran into Inugami on the street and talked to him for, maybe, 15 minutes, when [[spoiler:Haguro]] wasn't around. He also rapes [[spoiler:Aoshika]] 'while recording it so that Inugami can see, practically talking to the camera (and, therefore, to Inugami) through the entire thing hoping to provoke Inugami into coming back to him, and then [[spoiler:keeps her prisoner as he and his Yakuza goons repeatedly gang-rape her ''and'' he drugs her to [[MindRape screw with her mind as well as with her body]]]]. He also [[MurderTheHypotenuse tries to kill her while telling her that Inugami is too good for her]] as well as attempting to kill Inugami when he shows up to stop this and eats Inugami's fingers that he cuts off while ''getting a boner from it''. This guy is Yandere enough to rival [[Manga/FutureDiary Yuno Frigging Gasai]] herself, and such is his monstrousness that [[spoiler:his ultimate demise]] comes as a relief to all.
108	* YouHaveFailedMe: If you are employed by him, good luck. You'll need it.
109	* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's roughly two meters tall and looks like he's in his late twenties. Lampshaded by Inugami in chapter 11.
110	[[/folder]]
111
112	[[folder:Ryuuko Kounuma]]
113	Haguro's very beautiful but also extremely messed-up girlfriend. Her interests include destruction, sadism, brutality, and having sex with the man that can deliver the most of all three, so long as it's not in her direction.
114	----
115
116	* AxCrazy: Whatever your definition of "crazy bitch", she's probably not far off. If she is, you're trying too hard.
117	* BrokenBird: See what repeated rapes ''from her dad and a pimp'' and living in a CrapsackWorld can do to a teenage girl: leave her broken and insane.
118	* CloserToEarth: She's slightly less crazy than Haguro, if only because she realizes [[NeutralFemale the limits of her own flesh.]]
119	* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Haguro punches her in the eye at one point.]]
120	* FanDisservice: She's very attractive and knows it, but she's so deranged that no amount of nudity from her can count as sexy...
121	* FilleFatale: The creepiest version ever possible.
122	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Seems to have no genuine friends or admirers whatsoever throughout the entire story.
123	* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Later chapters seem to imply she's envious of Aoshika for being the one Inugami loves.]]
124	%%* TheImmodestOrgasm: '''''HellIsThatNoise.'''''
125	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: She likes her men hot, sexy, and badass.
126	* MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration: She is a nymphomaniac middle-schooler with what appears to be profound psychological damage from repeated rapes in her past, but she's such a nihilistic sociopath that even this isn't enough to make her sympathetic. Notable acts include breaking into the protagonist's apartment to masturbate and (unsuccessfully) seduce him and climaxing on a school rooftop after a bloody shooting.
127	* MyGirlIsASlut: Not that Dou had any actual feelings for Ryuuko, but he didn't seem to have a problem with her seducing other men and actually encouraged her to seduce Inugami.
128	* NightmareFetishist: Ryuuko is a disturbingly literal example.
129	%%* PerkyGoth: A completely disturbing example.
130	* PromiscuityAfterRape: After being raped, she ended up going on to sleep with other men, upon which they end up dying with the exception of Haguro.
131	* RapeAsBackstory: The explanation of how she [[RapeLeadsToInsanity became so batshit insane]] is because of the repeated rapes at the hands of her father and a pimp from when she was younger. She doesn't seem to care as much about it anymore though.
132	* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She doesn't seem to mind being nude in front of Inugami.
133	* TheSociopath: Literally gets off on the suffering of others and doesn't care much about them. Her only concerns are getting to hook up with Inugami, killing almost everyone she has sex with, and watching as much violence as possible.
134	* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Possibly. [[spoiler:Inugami getting back up from what should have been a ''fatal'' stab wound causes her to flee in terror after giving him the address of where Haguro is keeping Aoshika.]]
135	* UncannyValleyGirl: Has this as part of her character. Only her boyfriend is scarier. By Magnitudes.
136	%%* UnholyMatrimony: With Haguro.
137	* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After Haguro's death, Ryuuko lost her mind, wandering the streets and selling her body in utter disbelief now that she lost Haguro and couldn't get Inugami]].
138	%%* {{Yandere}}
139	* YoungerThanTheyLook: She looks like a high schooler or college student, and is around 15 too.
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Chiba]]
143	A member of Haguro's gang and [[OnlySaneEmployee one of it's more sane members.]] [[spoiler: Things don't end well for him.]]
144	----
145	* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:After his resurrection, he's hellbent on getting revenge on Haguro for murdering him.]]
146	* BadassNormal: A skilled and dedicated boxer, but not in the same league as Haguro.
147	* BareFistedMonk: [[spoiler: Which is why Inugami refuses to fight him. It would cheapen Chiba's skills.]]
148	* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Inugami gives him some of his blood, which turns him into an ogre.]]
149	* CantCatchUp: He knows he'll never surpass or even become an equal to Haguro or Inugami which bothers him deeply. [[spoiler: At least until Inugami gives him some of his blood.]]
150	* HardWorkHardlyWorks: This is the only thing ([[IfICantHaveYou besides]] [[CrazyJealousGuy Haguro]] [[MurderTheHypotenuse obviously]]) that kept him and Inugami from being friends: the fact that Chiba could train forever and never be as strong as Inugami and Haguro.
151	* HomoeroticSubtext: Haguro thinks he has this with Inugami, [[spoiler: so he beats him half to death and rapes him.]]
152	* NobleDemon: He's Haguro's right-hand man, but he's not as crazy as his boss or the rest of the gang. In fact, he's a decent guy when not up to any gangster activities. [[spoiler:Even after his return from the dead, he only goes after Haguro and his men.]]
153	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He suffers this after Haguro caught him talking with Inugami. This, and getting violently raped results in his death.
154	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Following his resurrection via Inugami's blood, he gains superhuman strength and agility. However, he eventually assumes his ogre form, which is a tower, muscular, and hideous beast.]]
155	* OnlySaneEmployee: The only member of Haguro's gang who's not a depraved psychopath.
156	%%* RapeAsDrama
157	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:After returning from the dead.
158	%%* TragicVillain
159	%%* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: After going OneWingedAngel, until Haguro beheaded him.
160	* WorthyOpponent: The only one in Haguro's gang Inugami respects.

162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Akira Jin]]
165	A mysterious reporter who knows quite a lot about Inugami. [[spoiler: Is also a werewolf]].
166	----
167	%%* BadassLongcoat
168	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Jin explains to Aoshika that werewolves can sense a human's sadness or call for help, while no other human can; and in some cases the good ones ''feel obligated'' to help the human, or at least try to ease their pain a bit. [[spoiler:That's what Jin does for Aoshika, helping Inugami to rescue her and later pretending to be Inugami in wolf form to give Aoshika the hope that he might still be alive]].
169	%%* CoolCar
170	* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:With Inugami, as he has joined the guy's quest to rescue Aoshika.]]

179	* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:One of the Kurodas tried to rape her ''with his gun''.]]
180	* BringMyBrownPants: [[spoiler:As a consequence of the above incident, the poor girl is so terrified that she wets herself.]]
181	* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Inugami hides there to run away from Haguro, and bumps into her. What follows is a huge TearJerker.]]

197	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They care about each other. [[spoiler:When one of them is told that the other has died because of Inugami (A lie. [[YouHaveFailedMe Haguro]] was the one who killed the twin.), the surviving twin only hesitates to claim vengeance because he lacks resources. The moment he has some, he tries to destroy Inugami and the school.]]
