* BadassLongCoat: His usual outfit.
* BrattyHalfPint: Half of the time, he acts like this. He proves to have sharp mind at certain situations, however.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Has this for Hamaji. It's the reason why he and Sousuke came to the capital in the first place anyway. He also has this for Kaho.
* BigEater: He packs food away like nobody's business... except Liver. He hates that.
* TheDeterminator: If he determines to do something, he won't stop.

* PingPongNaivete: Though he's really [[[OlderThanTheyLook 18]] at times he truly acts like the age he appears to be. Even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] at times by others. And at others he comes across as much wiser than his years and more in tune to what is going on.
* PowerAtAPrice: Shino can use Murasame, something no one else can, but the price is that it stunted his growth and will eventually led him to a horrible death, at least according to Satomi.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:When he goes after Satomi for his blood, he has bright red eyes.]]

* DeadpanSnarker and TheGadfly: Plenty of his lines has him play as Shino's long-suffering caretaker just to tick Shino off.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Well, to all dogs, anyway. Yatsufusa is no exception. Children also seem to take liking to him.
* HeroesLoveDogs: Sousuke tends to treat all dogs he comes across well. In turn, they are literally attracted to him to the extent that some people wonder if he's a dog-whisperer in Episode 2. Hamaji mentions that animals in general love him.

* AntiMagic: According to Saitomi, Murasame can tear through all magic.
* BigEater: Eats as much as Shino.
* BodyHorror: It is part of Shino's arm now, and when we see Murasame emerging from his arm, it is disturbing.

** KatanasAreJustBetter: Especially demonic ones.
** WeaponOfXSlaying: According to Satiomi, Murasame is a sword that can kill spirits of all kind. Even ''Gods''.

* MomentOfWeakness: The New Moon on the 29th of the month leaves Murasame quiet and inactive compared to normal.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Literally, and twice! The first time around it crashed on Shinonome's barrier, causing heavy downpour on the mountains before said guardian went berserk. The second time, it crashed on ''another'' barrier surrounding the Church, causing Lilith to come out and out for Shino's blood. In episode 22, Shino actually considers weaponising this to break the barrier in the tengu territory.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Any time Shino is mortally wounded, Murasame is able to take over completely, becoming a colossal, nigh-unstoppable canine demon hell-bent on devouring enough blood to undo the damage Shino sustained, most often by [[ImAHumanitarian eating someone whole outright]].

* DefrostingIceQueen: At the beginning of her introductory episode, she was willing to kill/maim Shino and Sousuke for trespassing in her domain. By the end, she thanks Shino for mediating between her and the Osaki to give Ayane a little more freedom, tells him her true name, and places her trust in him.
* GuardianEntity: To the Mizuki Clan and Ayane. It's noted that her clan originally owned the house the rest of the group uses and she would devour anyone who set foot on the property before they made a deal that left it forbidden for anyone other than Ayane to enter one side of the house.
* HeroicBSOD: PlayedForLaughs. When she comes dangerously close to killing Shino and Sousuke just because they happen to step on her territory, going so far as to demand Sousuke's arm in penitence until Ayane appears and calls her "mean" while running away, causing her to briefly suffer this.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Has long white hair that flows down her back.
* {{Orochi}}: Shino refers to her as one, citing that her true body is so huge that the earth would tremble if she moves because she is a goddess. This, unfortunately, anchors her to the property so that she can't leave it when Ayane wants to go somewhere.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue eyes AND [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]].
* CuteMute: Lost her voice in order to uphold her contract with Dousetsu and save his life. Shino mentions she had a beautiful singing voice until then.
* Expy: Bears a very strong resemblance to another snow spirit character who also happens to be named Yukihime from Go Nagai's Dororon Enma-Kun. They both even share the same seiyuu, Mamiko Noto.

* OnlyFriend: She cites that Shino was her only friend before she saved Dousetsu.
* ShipperOnDeck[=/=]YaoiFangirl: When Dousetsu is taken aback at Keno's beauty, she approves. This, or she is just trolling her master because she probably knows it won't end well.

* PingPongNaivete: Though he's really [[[OlderThanTheyLook 18]] at times he truly acts like the age he appears to be. Even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] at times by others. And at others he comes across as much wiser than his years and more in tune to what is going on.
* PowerAtAPrice: Shino can use Murasame, something no one else can, but the price is that it stunted his growth and will eventually led him to a horrible death, at least according to Satomi.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Well, to all dogs, anyway. Yatsufusa is no exception. Children also seem to take liking to him.
* HeroesLoveDogs: Sousuke tends to treat all dogs he comes across well. In turn, they are literally attracted to him to the extent that some people wonder if he's a dog-whisperer in Episode 2. Hamaji mentions that animals in general love him.

----
* BungledSuicide: After his fiancee's death, he repeatedly attempted to commit suicide only to be stopped by Kobungo and his own immortality. No matter how many times he tried, he simply couldn't make it stick.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: His attachment to Shino and {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendencies aside, he seems to be a competent officer.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Early on, he is on the receiving end of this by Seiran.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A bit of one.
* DrivenToSuicide: Genpachi tried to killed himself numerous times after the death of his fiancee, but his HealingFactor is so strong that he survived having his throat slit and shooting himself in the head.
* FairCop: He's a military officer.
* HealingFactor: He and his brother-in-law gained this after being on the brink of death and revived by their beads.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Seems to have this attitude towards Shino.
* TheLostLenore: His fiancee, who is also Kobungo's sister. He seems to be over it VERY quickly, though. [[spoiler: Or rather, he already exhausted himself mourning for her and decided it's about time to live.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: To Shino. Not ''quite'' first sight, but applies nonetheless considering the circumstances.
* NiceHat: In his officer's uniform.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: He'll come back if killed.
* ShockAndAwe: In demon form.

* HealingFactor: He and his brother-in-law gained this after being on the brink of death and revived by their beads.
* OnlySaneMan: At times.
* RealMenCook[=/=]SupremeChef: Since he's been running the inn with his family, he learned to cook.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Same as his brother-in-law. They're virtually unkillable.

* BestServedCold[=/=]ItsPersonal: His unfinished business with [[spoiler: Sousuke's shadow, Ao.]]
* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: Not with a spoon but he did lose his heart with a sword... poor guy. At least Kokonoe gave him her heart.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: To the point Kobungo and Dousetsu are fooled.
* InSeriesNickname: Kokonoe refers to him as "Asakeno". Once they get to know each other, so does Genpachi at times.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Sees Kokonoe as both a mother and sister since she saved him.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Probably the prettiest character in the whole series.
* MasterSwordsman: He's considered one of the most skilled swordsman. He explained he needed to be able to use his AncestralWeapon and built the skill up to match.
* TheNoseKnows: He could smell Sousuke and Shino weren't entirely human when they first met.
* TheTeamNormal: Or as close as one of the eight dogs could be to normal. Unlike the others Keno's familiar/companion doesn't grant him any mystical abilities that he uses in combat, or outside of combat for that matter. Kokonoe just gave him her heart.
** BadassNormal: But he can still fight toe to toe with Ao.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Well, unsettling for Kobungo, anyway. To be fair, he never even attempts to hide his gender.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: In episode 19, it's revealed that Keno is a minor like Sousuke except that Genpachi, Kobungo, Shino, ''and'' Sousuke were all surprised at the reveal.

* {{Megane}}: Has a nifty pair of glasses.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Let's just say he had the worst possible timing for showing up to help fight Tamazusa-hime, considering his Gem was the last one needed to resurrect Fuse-hime...]]
* SnowMeansDeath: It was snowing when he was on the verge of death.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or pink in this case.

* HappilyAdopted: By his father, a Doll-Maker.
* KindheartedCatLover: Has a pet cat. [[spoiler:Ends up saving him by giving him his bead.]]
* TheStoic: Compared to other characters, he doesn't have broad range of expressions.
* ThirdEye: Hidden under his headband that can kill spirits.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: Apparently suffers one after his near-death experience, which makes him forget that [[spoiler:both of his fathers have died]]. It is unclear whether his sister also suffers it, however.

* BlowYouAway: Gains command over wind after coming into his power.
* ClassRepresentative: Of the elementary school he attends.

* HumanMomNonhumanDad: According to his grandmother, Shinobu's father was/is a Tengu. Incidentally inhuman Dad treated him much better than his human mom ever did.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: A high-ranking official with the Church.
* BadassPreacher: He's a part of the Church.
* {{Bishounen}}: Lampshaded repeatedly. It's practically the reason why he's the Church's golden boy. His own familiar follows him for this reason.
* FamousAncestor: [[spoiler:He is the descendant of Fuse-hime.]]
* LongLostRelative: A conversation with Kaname implies that he's this to Shino.

* CainAndAbel: The Abel to with [[spoiler:Seiran]]'s Cain. His mother was a concubine to [[spoiler:Seiran's]] father.
* ChivalrousPervert
** LadyKillerInLove: Despite his reputation as a player, he's apparently met his match with [[{{Tsundere}} Hamaji]].
* KnightInShiningArmor: And played not in entirely positive light. He does nothing despite knowing Seiran's ColdBloodedTorture to Genpachi, and it isn't until [[spoiler:one of his insects gives Hamaji a papercut]] that Kaname finally takes action.
* PluckyComicRelief: When he is not pissed, he always ends as this thanks to Hamaji's attitude.
* ShipTease: With Hamaji, who does seem to like him back.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: His reaction to [[spoiler:one of Seiran's insects cutting Hamaji's cheek]] in a nutshell. He mentions that he never once hated the man until that moment, only pitied him.
!!Ayane Mizuki

----
* IllGirl: Her body is weak, which is part of the reason that Chikage can't let her leave often from her side.
* LonelyRichKid: She's essentially the owner of the manor the Sacred Beast Holders live in, but is lonely until Shino and Hamaji showed up.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: It's mentioned that the children of her clan are sensitive to the energy of others.
* NiceGirl: She stops her guardian from harming the others when they were bringing them flowers and even goes to apologize to them for it.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: At one points she walks into Sousuke sleeping on Shino's lap...to which she blushes and runs away until he calls her back.
* {{Protectorate}}: To Chikage, both due to similar appearances and being the last of her Mizuki clan.
!!Nachi Hinozuka

----
* AnimalMotif: A crow.
* AntiMagic: According to Saitomi, Murasame can tear through all magic.
* BigEater: Eats as much as Shino.
* BodyHorror: It is part of Shino's arm now, and when we see Murasame emerging from his arm, it is disturbing.
* CoolSword:[[LivingWeapon It is one]].
** KatanasAreJustBetter: Especially demonic ones.
** WeaponOfXSlaying: According to Satiomi, Murasame is a sword that can kill spirits of all kind. Even ''Gods''.
* TheDreaded: Chikage mentions that she dreads Murasame because even she, a goddess, can be slain by it.
* MomentOfWeakness: The New Moon on the 29th of the month leaves Murasame quiet and inactive compared to normal.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Literally, and twice! The first time around it crashed on Shinonome's barrier, causing heavy downpour on the mountains before said guardian went berserk. The second time, it crashed on ''another'' barrier surrounding the Church, causing Lilith to come out and out for Shino's blood. In episode 22, Shino actually considers weaponising this to break the barrier in the tengu territory.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Any time Shino is mortally wounded, Murasame is able to take over completely, becoming a colossal, nigh-unstoppable canine demon hell-bent on devouring enough blood to undo the damage Shino sustained, most often by [[ImAHumanitarian eating someone whole outright]].

----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: They're funny, but Kaname points out that when anyone tries to get rid of him they turn vengeful and heads roll as a result.
* ButtMonkey: Hamaji is quite a slave-driver to them.
* KillerRabbit: Despite their cutesy appearance, once Kaname is pissed and wants them to kill, they ''will'' kill.
* PluckyComicRelief: They're mostly there for a laugh, like when Hamaji bosses them around.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: In their tiny form.
* ShipperOnDeck: Briefly muse with each other the episode that Hamaji moves to the school dorms that she is perfectly suitable as a future bride of Kaname.
!!Chikage \ Hibiki

----
* AnimalMotif: Snakes.
* DefrostingIceQueen: At the beginning of her introductory episode, she was willing to kill/maim Shino and Sousuke for trespassing in her domain. By the end, she thanks Shino for mediating between her and the Osaki to give Ayane a little more freedom, tells him her true name, and places her trust in him.
* GuardianEntity: To the Mizuki Clan and Ayane. It's noted that her clan originally owned the house the rest of the group uses and she would devour anyone who set foot on the property before they made a deal that left it forbidden for anyone other than Ayane to enter one side of the house.
* HeroicBSOD: PlayedForLaughs. When she comes dangerously close to killing Shino and Sousuke just because they happen to step on her territory, going so far as to demand Sousuke's arm in penitence until Ayane appears and calls her "mean" while running away, causing her to briefly suffer this.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Has long white hair that flows down her back.
* {{Orochi}}: Shino refers to her as one, citing that her true body is so huge that the earth would tremble if she moves because she is a goddess. This, unfortunately, anchors her to the property so that she can't leave it when Ayane wants to go somewhere.
* PoisonousPerson: Come with the Snake Goddess territory.

* AnIcePerson: She's a snow spirit who wears a white kimono.
* BerserkButton: Don't hurt Dousetsu or you'll lose an arm.
* ClingyJealousGirl[=/=]ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Certainly acts like one. While she means well for wanting to protect Dousetsu, she can go overboard with those blizzards of hers. PlayedForLaughs.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue eyes AND [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]].
* CuteMute: Lost her voice in order to uphold her contract with Dousetsu and save his life. Shino mentions she had a beautiful singing voice until then.
* Expy: Bears a very strong resemblance to another snow spirit character who also happens to be named Yukihime from Go Nagai's Dororon Enma-Kun. They both even share the same seiyuu, Mamiko Noto.
* HarmlessFreezing: She can do this to others. A monk that she froze remained that way for at least half-a-day without any problem.
* OnlyFriend: She cites that Shino was her only friend before she saved Dousetsu.
* ShipperOnDeck[=/=]YaoiFangirl: When Dousetsu is taken aback at Keno's beauty, she approves. This, or she is just trolling her master because she probably knows it won't end well.

!!Kaede

When he went to the mansion of the Sacred Beasts that had a special barrier that allowed the unseeable spirits to be seen, Yuuri was distraught with what he saw and retreated into seclusion. Thus he had to retreat his choice and chose Nachi who is able to see him.
* ButtMonkey: Mixed with the ChewToy in episodes he appears in. Mainly in episode 19.
* MegaNeko: Can transform into one.
* TheWorfEffect: When the shadow eaters ate his shadow. They spit them out later in episode 19.

* EyepatchOfPower: He loses it later on[[spoiler: after replacing his left eye with Kohaku's]].
* EyeScream: Had his left eye slashed through by Keno after he stole Keno's heart. This left him with a scar which he hides with an eyepatch.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: Of Sousuke.
** SplitPersonalityTakeover: [[spoiler:In a sense. The Duty Gem appears to have picked him over Sousuke, which is killing the 'good' Sousuke, effectively making him the 'real' one despite being a Shadow.]]
* LivingShadow: Referred to as such. [[spoiler:There are hints that he is the real Sousuke, however.]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Platonic or otherwise, his entire actions are driven because he wants to be with Shino.
* MasterSwordsman: Good enough with a blade to carve out Keno's heart, who is already a skilled swordsman.
* PetTheDog: He's actually genuinely nice to [[ChildrenAreInnocent Kaho]] the one time he meets her. Also, evil though he is, Shino is someone he holds precious.
* {{Synchronization}}: With Sousuke.

* DisabilitySuperpower[=/=]HyperAwareness: Despite (or possibly due to) her blindness, the rest of Kaho's senses are much sharper, making her act most of the time as if she isn't blind.
