History Characters / GugureKokkurisan

* AmbiguousDisorder: Kohina is very intelligent for a person her age, has a ''very'' peculiar way of speaking and can rhetorically out-fox Kokkuri regularly, but she has severe emotional detachment and, oh yeah, doesn't believe she is a real person.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Kohina is obviously very intelligent for a person her age, has a ''very'' peculiar way of speaking and is able to rhetorically out-fox Kokkuri on a regular basis, but she has severe emotional detachment and, oh yeah, doesn't believe she is a real person.

* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: In the first episode, she's annoyed about Kokkuri suddenly moving in with her and getting in the way of her and her beloved cup noodles. After she seemingly gets rid of him, Kohina begins to feel lonely and miss Kokkuri to the point of crying.

* ComicallySmallBribe: It is rather easy for somebody to bribe Kohina. Literally, a cup of instant noodles is all it took for her to allow Inugami to stay in the house.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: There are occasional hints that whatever happened in Kohina's life that caused her to live alone in a fairly large house, call herself a doll, and become so invested in curses and divination, it's not pretty.

* HappilyAdopted: Kokkuri basically appointed himself as Kohina's adoptive father. Kohina isn't fond of him at first, but eventually warms up to him and they mostly act as a true family.

* LonersAreFreaks: Pretty much sums up how the rest of society views her. Kokkuri is of this opinion also and is actively trying to make her a more social person to avoid this trope.

* TheStoic: The expression on her face almost never changes and she claims to lack emotions. [[NotSoStoic But she has her weak spots]] - namely Kokkuri and [[TrademarkFavoriteFood cup noodles]].

* TouchedByVorlons: Kohina eventually gains the ability to see ghosts and minor spirits as a result of living in close proximity to powerful spirits like Kokkuri, Inugami and Shigaraki. This is not a good thing, as most of these spirits are hateful and hungry.

* AndroclesLion: Many hundreds of years ago, [[spoiler:Kokkuri was saved by Kohina's past incarnation after he was shot by a hunter. To repay her, Kokkuri decided to devote himself to take care of her and try to make her smile. Thinking that he still haven't repaid his debt enough when she died, Kokkuri swore to keep taking care of her in her next incarnations.]]

* PeekABangs: His left eye seems to be perpetually hidden by his hair.

* GoodParents: He may have [[OverprotectiveDad his missteps,]] but he honestly does try his hardest to be a good father-figure to Kohina. She just happens to be wily enough to wiggle out of his attempts at parenting of her own accord.

* OverprotectiveDad: Well, he is Kohina's self-appointed foster father and he can be a bit overprotective of her at times, but he means well. With people like [[StalkerWithACrush Inugami]] and [[CollectorOfTheStrange Tama]] around, one can hardly blame him.

* {{Keigo}}: He speaks in a formal tone, which suits his butler nature.

* ShanaClone: She's a young and tiny {{Tsundere}} with long orange-brown hair and small pigtails on the sides of her head.

* {{Expy}}: Of Asuka from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', although her personality resembles her incarnation in ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion''.
* FieryRedhead: Sports orange hair and is a {{Tsundere}}.
* GirlishPigtails: Has the stereotypical twintails of a {{Tsundere}}.

* LovingBully: A platonic version: she's always bullying Kohina because she wants to befriend her, but her inept social skills screw it up. Her usual method of bullying isn't really bullying, though...

* PokeThePoodle: She really thinks that putting a vase of flowers on Kohina's desk every day is a way of bullying her.

* TheUnsmile: Whenever Kohina tries to force herself to smile, her face [[UncannyValley distorts]] and sometimes her eyes and mouth fall off.

* {{Bishonen}}: He works really hard on his appearance to keep up with this trope.

* {{Bishonen}}: His male form.

* {{Bishonen}}: When describing him to Kokkuri, Kohina says he's the "intelligent-looking slim boy with the bright eyes", leading Kokkuri to picture him as one. His expectations are immediately subverted when he gets a peek of him and sees that he's... an alien.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoHirohashi (Japanese)

* HappilyAdopted: Kokkuri basically appointed himself as Kohina's adoptive father. Kohina isn't fond of him at first, but eventually warms up to him and mostly act as a true family.

* SuperDeformed: How she usually looks though once-in-a-while she is portrayed in a realistic fashion.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeOno, Creator/RyokoShiraishi (female form) (Japanese)

* AsianFoxSpirit: He's a centuries-old fox spirit. More specifically, he's who the fortune-telling game "Kokkuri" is named after, as it's often believed that the being summoned by the game is a fox spirit.
* BerserkButton: Mentioning his non-existent hair loss problems or calling him an old man.

* IOweYouMyLife: This is the real reason behind his devotion to Kohina. [[spoiler:Kohina saved him in a past life and when she died, Kokkuri swore to keep looking after her in her next lifetimes to repay his debt.]]

* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Shigaraki.

* MysticalWhiteHair: Well, he has white hair and he definitely ain't human.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Let's put it this way, if he lent money to Shigaraki in the Meiji Era he sure as hell ain't twenty-five.

* SoBeautifulItsACurse: The reason Kokkuri doesn't like to turn into a woman is because men won't stop hitting on "her" in that form.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: He had watched Kohina from a distance since she was little, since she'd been the only person who ever came to his shrine. He calls it being a guardian. She calls it stalking.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: He has the trademark Kitsune eyes.
* TeamMom: He plays the role of the mother in the unusual FamilyOfChoice he has formed with Kohina and their two housemates/pests. Kohina shows her appreciation by giving him a carnation during ''Mother's'' Day.
* {{Tsundere}}: When he's stuck in female form, Kokkuri acts like this towards Shigaraki. He keeps insulting and beating up Shigaraki as usual, but when Shigaraki shows his gentleman side Female!Kokkuri can't help to blush.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Shigaraki.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai, Creator/ChiwaSaito (female form) (Japanese)

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Inugami often presents himself as male, but he mentions he actually doesn't remember his original gender and can freely switch between male and female forms. Inugami can easily be seen as gender fluid.
* AttractiveBentGender: At least to Shigaraki, who only likes him when he is a girl.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He may be a {{Yandere}} creep but he has good fashion sense.

* GunsAkimbo: When he fights his preferred weapons of choice is a pair of semi-automatic pistols.
* TheGunslinger: So far the only character in the show to use firearms and promotional artwork often shows him with a gun in hand.

* PeekABangs: His left-eye seems to be perpetually hidden by his hair.

* TheRunaway: In episode 9, he decides to run away to get Kohina worried about him... However, he only hid in the garden and nobody wants to go look for him. At the end, he really runs away from the house, but he returns on his own.

* {{Yandere}}: Oh, where to begin with this description...we could start with the fact that he points a ''gun'' at Yamamoto just so he could have the seat next to Kohina.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JojiNakata (Japanese)

* BreakoutCharacter: Has his own two-volume spin-off manga, ''Gugure! Shigaraki-san''.
* ChivalrousPervert: He loves his women (even if they're a GenderBender such as Inugami), but his actions towards female Kokkuri show that he can be a gentleman towards them too.

* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Kokkuri. He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it when Kokkuri turns into a woman and Shigaraki proposes to "her" since leaving aside their genders, they are an old married couple already.

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Kokkuri treats him as such, both in the present and in the past.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Kokkuri.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Just ask Tama.

* WeirdnessMagnet: If things keep going the way they are she could reclassify her house as a {{youkai}} zoo.

* PlayingWithFire: Turns out he can summon fireballs.

* TeamMom: He's the one who takes on the household chores, manages the budget, and does his best to make sure that his "daughter" can live a healthy and happy life. Kohina shows her appreciation by giving him a carnation during ''Mother's'' Day.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Kohina was the only one who took notice of him and held him when he was an abandoned puppy, and thus he has become Kohina-sexual as a result.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Nobody in the house likes him and only treat him as an annoyance. The only one who occasionally enjoys his company is Shigaraki, only because he thinks Inugami's female form is hot. When he runs away to get some attention, nobody bothers to go look for him, even though he was right at the garden.

* LovableSexManiac: He ''really'' wants to get into Kohina's pants and he uses his female form to bath with her. Fortunately, Kokkuri is around to keep him in line.

* CatGirl: She's a cat deity who takes the form of a cute girl. She evens peppers her speech with "nya"s.

* LittleBitBeastly: She has cat ears and cat tail, although her ears are rarely seen since she wears her headdress most of the time.

* RoseHairedSweetie: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She takes the appearance of a girl with pink hair and seems fairly cute and harmless, but her true self is a NightmareFetishist who kidnaps a little girl she mistook for a doll.

!Jimeko

* {{Determinator}}: When Jimeko sets her mind to something, she won't give up. Deconstructed, however, in that setting out to put a vase of flowers on Kohina's desk every day to bully her only hurt her wallet, and finding out what she'd been doing only caused Kohina to worry Jimeko wasn't looking after herself more.

* NoSocialSkills: She even manages to screw up bullying.

-----

!Tama

* CatGirl: She evens peppers her speech with "nya"s.

* CuteAndPsycho: On one moment she's cute, cheerful and friendly. Then she turns into a violent and creepy nutjob.

* KnifeNut: Her weapon of choice is a very large kitchen knife.

* RoseHairedSweetie: She's energetic, cheerful and playful. She's also quite a whacko with creepy tastes.
* StalkerWithACrush: She's first introduced when Kokkuri notices her shyly following him and Kohina around, and he assumes she likes him. When they finally confront each other, Tama makes her confession... [[BaitAndSwitch to Kohina]], whom she fell in love with at first sight because she thinks she's a doll.

-----

!Tengu

* {{Tengu}}: It's right there in his name, and he wears the traditional long-nosed mask and has wings to complete the image.

* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:She's the reincarnation of a young IllGirl who saved Kokkuri hundreds of years ago.]]

* CryCute: In the very first episode, the girl who claims to be an emotionless doll cries when she thinks Kokkuri has abandoned her.

* {{Yandere}}: She manages to be [[UpToEleven even creepier and more possessive than Inugami]] with her obsession with Kohina.

* AsianFoxSpirit: He's a centuies-old fox spirit. More specifically, he's who the fortune-telling game "Kokkuri" is named after, as it's often believed that the being summoned by the game is a fox spirit.

The deuteragonist of the series, Kokkuri is a {{Kitsune}} who is centuries old. He was summoned into the house by Kohina when she played a divination game by herself. Horrified by her terrible eating habits, her lack of friends and lack of adult supervision; he decides to stay and watch over her.

* {{Kitsune}}

->'''Voiced by:''' Kazutomi Yamamoto

* RapunzelHair: He has very long hair. It becomes even longer when he turns into a woman.

* RapunzelHair: Her pigtails go past her waist.

* {{Tsundere}}: To a ridiculous degree. She's even referred to as a tsundere by the narration. She's also a deconstruction of the trope: not only does she come off as an ordinary {{Jerkass}} to everyone (and thus alienating the entire class), but also she fails to earn Kohina's friendship, only provoking mild irritation in her. And earns an uppercut for her efforts.

* SingleTargetSexuality: He is Kohina-sexual. Kokkuri is [[AdultFear understandably horrified.]]
