     The Mekakushi Dan / Blindfold Gang 

Ayano Tateyama

Mekakushi Dan Group Member No. 0 and the original leader. For more information, see the Others folder.

Tsubomi Kido

Not what I hate, but what I like …? Eh … hi— …

Mekakushi Dan Group Member No.1, she's the leader and tends of have difficulty keeping the rest of the members in line. She's an orphan, and grew up with Seto and Kano in an orphanage.

She always listens to music through her earphones.

Her ability is "eye concealing", and it allows her to change a person's perception so as to make it seem like an object isn't there. This ability works only within a certain distance of herself.

Appears in: Mekakushi Code & Children Record

Cameos in: Souzou/Kuusou Forest, Konoha no Sekai Jijou, Kisaragi Attention, Yobanashi Deceive, Lost Time Memory & Ayano no Koufuku Riron


Kousuke Seto

It’s such nice weather~ But I wonder where this is. There’s a deer I’ve never seen before.

Mekakushi Dan Group Member No.2, he was raised in the same orphanage as Kido and Kano. He works various part-time jobs, and has the habit of wandering around.

He was the one who invited Mary to the Mekakushi Dan.

His ability is “eye-stealing”, and with it he can take information from any given target just by looking at them. He doesn't really like it though, seeing as it's an ability which makes it so that he doesn't have to communicate with others, as such he rarely uses it.

Appears in: Children Record & Shounen Brave

Cameos in: Souzou/Kuuzou Forest, Konoha no Sekai Jijou, Kisaragi Attention, Yobanashi Deceive, Lost Time Memory & Ayano no Koufuku Riron


  • Childhood Friends: With Kano and Kido.
  • Fan Nickname: Before his official name was revealed, most fans took to calling him "Forest-kun" in reference to Imagination Forest, the song he debuted in.
  • Friend to All Living Things: He seems to give off this impression, and in the manga adaptation he even talks to animals!
  • Hair Decorations: He wears a barrette.
  • He Is All Grown Up: Looks noticably older after Imagination Forest
  • Nice Guy: Jin describes him as the type of person that can get along with anyone.
  • Telepathy: His eye power.
  • Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: He is described as being very hard-working and holding down several part-time jobs. It might be in part because Mary barely makes any money with her work.

Shuuya Kano

Uwaaa! Mary, those clothes are really cute! Since you look like a seal...

Mekakushi Dan Group Member No.3, he's rather laid back and he tends to smile all the time. He likes to tease and can be a flirt, but when it counts he's very reliable.

His ability is to “deceive one’s eyes”. He can change people's perception of the things around them, making them see something different from what's actually there... though unlike Kido's ability which can affect other things within a certain distance from her, the effects of this ability are only limited to himself.

Mary Kozakura

Eek.. I’m sorry, I’m sorry...

Her ability is to “make eye contact”, which allows her to temporarily stop the movement of whoever meets her gaze.

Um... add vanilla beans as a topping for this special katsukare (curry with pork cutlet)... Ah, shirotama anmitsu (desert with sticky rice cake)! Please add this too!

Mekakushi Dan Group Member No.5, she is a very popular idol! She also has very unusual tastes...

Her ability is "eye-captivating", a power which draws people's attention to her. She had developed this ability when she was at the beach with her father where she nearly drowned. Because of this ability she had been alienated from people and had no friends, but once she had joined the Mekakushi Dan she became more bright and cheerful.

Appears in: Kisaragi Attention & Children Record

Cameos in: Konoha no Sekai Jijou & Lost Time Memory

  • Detached Sleeves: Her idol outfit.
  • Idol Singer: Though she really only became one because of her ability. She chose to take the talent scout's offer only to help with her family's financial problems.

  • Hair Decorations: Momo tends to wear her short hair with a few ribbons.

Ene

Let’s talk about not what you like, but what you hate!! Master!

She used to be human until she lost her body in an experiment, and now has the "opening eyes" ability; a power which allows her to be immortal.

He's Momo's older brother.

The main protagonist.

Lost Time Memory reveals that Ayano's death creates two Alternate Timelines for him; Route XX wherein he keeps basking in his past with Ayano and drives everyone away, and Route 1 (the in-show timeline) wherein he accepts Ayano's death and makes friends with the Mekakushi Dan.

Ayano Tateyama

Ehehe. I’m stupid, you know. So it can’t be helped.

A classmate of Shintaro from middle school, she's an ordinary girl who has difficulty in keeping her grades up. She approached Shintaro of her own volition, despite his tendency to keep his distance, and has been fairly close to him ever since. It is implied in Lost Time Memory that she may have had an eye ability.

She had committed suicide during her first year in high school for unknown reasons. This incident was what drove Shintaro to become a hikikomori.

In Ayano no Koufuku Riron, it was revealed that Ayano's family initially took in the orphans Kido, Seto, and Kano. Ayano acted as a surrogate older sister for the three of them and even inspired them to create the Mekakushi Dan. She's the original leader of the Mekakushi Dan and is member no. 0.
