For starters [[spoiler: he lost his memory and is always trying to get it back, and at the same time wants some sweet revenge on that evil little brother of his. How does he want to go about this?

How to best describe this sadistic ReallySevenHundredYearsOld demon? For starters [[spoiler: he lost his memory and is always trying to get it back, and at the same time wants some sweet revenge on that evil big brother of his. How does he want to go about this? KILL EVERYONE IN THE URAKAI. Together with his Numbered minions, he masterminds and manipulates events behind the scenes as The King, an aged man, and as his current container, a young boy.]]

* AbelAndCain: You might think Yumeji/Tsukihisa is the Abel to his Cain at first. [[spoiler: Turns out, in comparison, Tsukihisa is much, much worse than Nichinaga could ever be.]]

* BodyDouble: He has the old body for communicating with members, while his main body was a child.

* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Both Nichinaga and his brother are able to forcibly take over the bodies of others, transferring their own minds into a new body. They have survived this way for centuries, taking over other ability users in order to gain a second power. However, repeated use of this ability causes the memory of the user to gradually deteriorate.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: When his big brother possesses his favorite minion and sets wheels of plots in motion to make him essentially lose everything again, he remembers, the truth is revealed, and Nichinaga repents with death.]]

The chairman of the Council of Twelve and the Sousui's brother. [[spoiler: In truth, he was an individual who manipulated his "brother" to adopt and then rewrite his memories to see him as such.]]

* LikesOlderWomen: Yoshimori likes older girl Tokine. Later in the manga, he saves another girl of similar age from a high fall and she briefly becomes his StalkerWithACrush. This has led to others accusing him of preferring older girls. The previous name for this trope, CakeEater, created a pun because he's also a cake otaku.

* BiggerBad: During the Kokubourou.

* BiggerBad: His cooperation with Byaku, which allows Kaguro to gain information to unnerve Gen [[spoiler: (resulting in his death)]] and his subsequent influence over the following events [[spoiler: prior to his death]] make him this.

* BigBad: Of Kokubourou, [[spoiler: though it turns out she's not completely evil as Sen states she doesn't have an evil presence]].
* BiggerBad: While Kaguro does have a lot of influence over the arc, one forgets that she's the real mastermind of the conquering of Karasumori land.

* AxCrazy: [[HumanoidAbomination his true form]] shows that's out of his mind...All the time.

* BreakingSpeech: Delivers an extremely harsh one to Shishio. Also has the inability of having a conversion that doesn't involve [[MindRape messing the other's head]]. [[spoiler: Fails with Yoshimori because he's too [[IdiotHero dumb]] to understand what he's trying to trying to get him to do.]]
* CaptainErsatz: ''Very'' obviously based on [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Shishio Makoto]]. It doubles as FridgeBrilliance, Shishio after his death tells his loyal henchmen Hoji, that he'll conquer hell, [[spoiler: Since there's a long time between Manga/RurouniKenshin and Kekkaishi's timeline, it's possible that he did in fact do that, considering his strength, and was awarded the form of a high-ranked demon, (ignoring the anime version where he's a bug eyed freak who got scared of being caught), and began serving Kokubourou out of boredom. Since no one in his time was really an equal to him, he began to search for the one person who can truly give the "feeling" of having his life on the line, especially since he can [[CurbStompBattle beat most demons on a reflex]].]]

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He killed Gen]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: he killed Gen]], and the story gets noticeably DarkerAndEdgier from there.
* InTheBack: [[spoiler:How he kills Aihi and more notably, Gen]]

* SixthRanger: Kaguro does not fit in well with the rest of the organization, being more chaotic as opposed to their ambiguous goals
* SlasherSmile: All. The damn. Time. [[spoiler: Except when Yoshimori calls him weak for abandoning his humanity to find a purpose in life, [[VillainousBreakdown he really did not expect it]].]]
* TranshumanTreachery

->'''Voiced by:''' Atsushi Miyauchi (Japanese), Creator/PatrickSeitz (English)

* BadAss

* CastingGag: His reactions over being called short will be [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist very familiar]] to those watching the dub.

* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: The early parts of the series really love to browbeat the guy despite him trying to put his all into what he does, juggling his daily life with his duties as a Kekkashi and it being pretty stressful. Granted sometimes it's justified (he tends to favor force over finesse and that can lead into some bone-headed decisions), but more often than not it seems everyone getting on his case for no reason just because he does something they don't agree with (Making cakes as a hobby, him not knowing certain things, a technique going wrong because someone interrupted him, etc).

* {{Badass}} He has Yoshimori's level of power combined with Tokine's maturity and skill.

* {{Badass}}

* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]]

* [[spoiler: AlasPoorVillain: When his real motivations and the circumstances were revealed, it was VERY difficult not to feel sorry for him.]]

* [[spoiler: GrandTheftMe: Both Nichinaga and his brother are able to forcibly take over the bodies of others, transferring their own minds into a new body. They have survived this way for centuries, taking over other ability users in order to gain a second power. However, repeated use of this ability causes the memory of the user to gradually deteriorate.]]

* [[spoiler: OmnicidalManiac: His response to his brother's schemes is to '''kill everyone in the orgainzation'''.]]

* [[spoiler: SugarAndIce: To Suigetsu. He loves her, a lot. He just really doesn't show it much until the end.]]

The 8th seat of the group

* [[spoiler: AssholeVictim]]: [[spoiler: Killed offscreen by his brother, Shichirou, but he's such a jerk that no one mourns when he dies.]]

* [[spoiler: BodyHorror: He's actually a lump of flesh of seven siblings merged into one body.]]
* [[spoiler: CollectiveIdentity: Ichirou is actually a collection of seven siblings forcibly merged together into one body, with Ichirou as the dominant persona.]]
* [[spoiler: DroppedABridgeOnHim: By his own brother, no less.]]

* [[spoiler: HumanoidAbomination: Again, ''he is a collection of seven siblings lumped together in one body''.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]

* [[spoiler: SharingABody: The secret of Ichirou's power is that he's a collection of seven siblings working as one.]]

The former 7th seat of the group

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: By Shichirou.]]

* [[AFatherToHisMen A Mother To Her Men]]: The reason her subordinates show such UndyingLoyalty to her.

* [[spoiler: BodySurf]]: [[spoiler: Both Tsukihisa and the Sousui have survived for centuries by taking over the bodies of others. By inhabiting the bodies of powerful ability users, they effectively have access to two abilities at once. Tsukihisa's technique is more advanced than the Sousui's.]]
* [[spoiler: DeaderThanDead: When he and the Sousui are dragged into Masamori's zekkai.]]

* [[spoiler: GrandTheftMe]]: [[spoiler: On Zero, and he's done it to several others over the centuries.]]

* [[spoiler: TheManBehindTheMan: He's the real founder of the Shadow Organization.]]

[[folder: The Kokubourou]]

* [[spoiler:DeathByFlashback]]

* [[spoiler:HealingFactor]]: As she states during her bout with [[spoiler:Kaguro]], she can [[spoiler:regrow severed vines while in her Ayakashi form]].

* [[spoiler:HumanityIsInfectious]]: [[spoiler:She gradually gained her interest in humanity from living and falling in love with a human man, which she couldn't quite manifest]].
* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]: [[spoiler:By about twelve different swords, all running along her torso. [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Brr.]]]]

* [[spoiler:ManEatingPlant]]: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], actually; according to Kaguro, Aihi hasn't [[spoiler:eaten a human in a long time]].

* [[spoiler:PinocchioSyndrome]]: Implied to have this, like the rest of the Kokubourou.
* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath]]: [[spoiler:She helps save Tokine's life, lets her go when she could easily kill her, and then gets murdered by Kaguro ForTheEvulz.]]

* [[spoiler: Really700YearsOld]]: Though he looks like a man in his early thirties, [[spoiler: He's actually nine years older then his friend, Matsudo who is a peer of Yoshimori's grandpa]].

* BadAss: Creating your own dimension where you can live and having powerful minions on your side, qualifies you for this trope.

* BadAss

* [[spoiler: InTheBack: How he kills Aihi and more notably, Gen]]

* [[TheBeastmaster The Beastmistress]]: She controls spiders.

* [[DoNotCallMePaul Do Not Call Me Ginro]]

* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: He is revived by Masamori to become his familiar.]]

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: By becoming Masamori's familiar]]

* BlondesAreEvil: [[spoiler: In his first body, at least.]]

* CaptainErsatz: ''Very'' obviously based on [[RurouniKenshin Shishio Makoto]]. It doubles as FridgeBrilliance, Shishio after his death tells his loyal henchmen Hoji, that he'll conquer hell, [[spoiler: Since there's a long time between RurouniKenshin and Kekkaishi's timeline, it's possible that he did in fact do that, considering his strength, and was awarded the form of a high-ranked demon, (ignoring the anime version where he's a bug eyed freak who got scared of being caught), and began serving Kokubourou out of boredom. Since no one in his time was really an equal to him, he began to search for the one person who can truly give the "feeling" of having his life on the line, especially since he can [[CurbStompBattle beat most demons on a reflex]].]]

* {{Expy}}: His bandaged form looks remarkably similar to Makoto Shisio from ''RurouniKenshin''.

* UndyingLoyalty: The Princess is probably the only living thing he's ever truly cared about.

AmplifierArtifact: She has a shell pendant that she uses to focus her abilities. [[spoiler: It's later used by the Sousui.]]

* BodyDouble: He has the old body for communicating with members, while his main body was a child

* EnfantTerrible/ EvilOldFolks: He's both a scary brat and an old man at the same time, [[MakesSenseInContext it's very complicated]].

* EvilVsEvil: With his brother

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: When his big brother possesses his favorite minion and sets wheels of plots in motion to make him essentially lose everything again, he remembers, its reveal bombed what happened, Nichinaga repents with death.]]

* [[spoiler: OmnicidalManiac: His response to his brother's schemes is to '''kill everyone in the orgainzation''']]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: He decides to repent for all his wrong doings by [[TakingYouWithMe taking his unbelievably evil brother to death with him.]]]]

* TakenForGranite: Though rarely seen doing so, Nichinaga could control earth while in the King's body, easily raising protective barriers out of the ground that are capable of regenerating rapidly if damage

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: You must have absolute mastery of supernatural powers in order to be a member, they also are the twelve heads above everyone in the organization, only the Sousui is above them
* BiggerBad: During the Kokubourou
* FaceFramedInShadow: A lot of them before they were each revealed
* KarmaHoudini: Because the anime was cut short, members, especially Ichirou never got the comeuppance that occurs in the manga
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: Initially they were this as all of them were shrouded in darkness
* WeHaveReserves: They have a total lack of regard to the deaths of their men which infuriates Masamori

The chairman of the Council of Twelve and the Sousei's brother. [[spoiler: In truth, he was an individual who manipulated his "brother" to adopt and then rewrite his memories to see him as such.]]

* AbelAndCain: At first it seems he's the Abel to Sousei's Cain. [[spoiler: It's actually a reverse, since Yumeji is far worse than he could ever be.]]

* [[spoiler: BodySurf]]: [[spoiler: Both Tsukihisa and the Sousei have survived for centuries by taking over the bodies of others. By inhabiting the bodies of powerful ability users, they effectively have access to two abilities at once. Tsukihisa's technique is more advanced than the Sousui's.]]
* [[spoiler: DeaderThanDead: When he and the Sousei are dragged into Masamori's zekkai.]]
* EvilVsEvil: With the Sousei.

* ManipulativeBastard: He's this to the Shadow Organization, [[spoiler: even to his own brother, the Sousei]].

* BrutalHonesty: Juho is very blunt
* FinishingMove: Dragon Hole, uho draws a hole upon the ground and stands upon it creating a network of smaller holes extending from the main one. He can make fire any number of energy pillars from the holes. These energy pillars extend far up into the sky. The more spiritually powerful the land is the more powerful and limitless the dragon pulses he summons are
* TakenForGranite: Juho uses earth-based magic which requires him to be in direct contact with the ground. To preform his spells he essentially align himself with the dragon pulses of the earth and manipulate that power

* InformedAbility: He was a member of the top officials in the Shadow Organization, yet does nothing to show it [[spoiler: before being killed off by Schihirou]]
* MalevolentMaskedMan: He wears a fox mask
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Gets the least characterization of the twelve [[spoiler: and then gets killed off after his introduction]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Tsumugi has a somewhat whimsical nature: he is generally in a good mood and enjoys making small jokes or laughing to himself, but he's one of the twelve for obvious reasons
* PuppetMaster: Inanimate objects touched by Tsumugi's hair spring to life and form enormous puppets that do his bidding

* AmbiguouslyEvil: While she has traded her humanity for knowledge in the past, she also values order and the safety of normal humans
** [[spoiler: She is also very worried about how Karasumori might be very dangerous and requests that the heirs should train in order to better control it]]
AmplifierArtifact: She has a shell pendent that she uses to focus her abilities [[spoiler: later used by the Sousui.]]
* AwesomeByAnalysis: She has been shown to be a very observant person on several occasions
* BadassBookworm: With her vast intelligence and extensive archives, there were few subjects that she was unfamiliar with.
* BlackCloak: Nothing except her eyes are shown

* DimensionLord: Okuni is able to manipulate dimensions like Kekkaishi, but she uses it in a different way. She is capable of opening eye-shaped portals, which are used for remote viewing, as well as focusing tremendous amount of power on a target

* TheRedBaron: The Puzzle Eater

[[caption-width:210:He's actually more than a FatBastard [[spoiler: he's also a lump of seven bastards rolled up into one]]]]

* ArchNemesis: Masamori's first one in the Shadow Organization, [[ItsPersonal the feelings' mutual]]
* [[spoiler: AssholeVictim]]: [[spoiler: Killed offscreen by his brother, Shichirou, but he's such a jerk that no one mourns when he dies]]
* BadBoss: Kills his own men in his fight with Masamori
* BiggerBad: His cooperation with Byaku which allows Kaguro to gain information to unnerve Gen [[spoiler: resulting his death]] and the following influences over the following events [[spoiler: prior his death, make him this]]

* [[spoiler: DroppedABridgeOnHim: By his own brother no less]]

* [[spoiler: HumanoidAbomination: Overlooking the fact that he is a collection of seven siblings lumped together in one body.]]
* JerkAss: He kills his own men and then swifts the blame to Masamori

* ManipulativeBastard: He's the [[TheManBehindTheMan reason Kaguro got the information to unnerve Gen enough via Ichirou's conversation with Byaku]] [[spoiler: leading to his death]], he's also manipulated other people with little regards to the public if they caught in the crossfire
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Justified [[spoiler: it hides the fact he's really a lump of seven siblings stacked together/]]

* BackFromTheDead: Repeatedly. [[spoiler: Is still alive, although without his powers]].
* BishonenLine: Starts out as a middle-aged old man, changes to a distinctly more attractive twentyish year old (with cool boots), then finally to a cute kid.
* BrokenPedestal: To Masamori when he sees his teacher becoming a self-absorbed ayakkashi
* ColdBloodedTorture: He ''loves'' his torture. Especially when its on Masamori.
* DeathIsCheap: His power allows this. His nickname isn't the immortal for no reason.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Started out in the Urakai whose job was to stop Ayakashi from killing people. He then became an Ayakashi and started killing people.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking:
* LivingWeapon: Kurosame. Described as a curse-power ability, which manifests itself as a black threads which compose the blade, coming from the hilt of the sword. These black threads are incredibly strong and can cut through even the tough nigh-invulnerable exterior of the Kurokabuto Ayakashi. The threads can extend at will and entangle an opponent and slice through it with ease with precision through the use of bold strokes. He talks to the sword denoting that it maybe sentient

* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has one on the left side of his face
* {{Necromancer}}: He can raise the dead

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: By Schichirou]]
* MadScientist: He experiments on humans on his free time
* PeoplePuppets: He can control people

* OneWingedAngel: She can turn into a dragon with tiger stripes, unfortunately, it also leaves her naked once she turns back

* ScaledUp: As a tiger stripped dragon

* TheTease: To Masamori

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As the second highest ranking member of the group [[spoiler: later as the new commander after the death of the co-founders]]

* [[AFatherToHisMen A Mother To Her Men]]: The reason her subordinates show such UndyingLoyalty to her
* FluffyTamer: Nura is a master demon tamer. Her control over Oni is so complete that she can command an entire army of them simply by being in the same local vicinity. Just by being near her, oni naturally desire to serve her and no matter what happens, they will not betray her. The oni are simply happy to give over whatever power they have to offer.
* FountainOfYouth: She can use her ayakkashi servants' powers to make her younger in order to enhance her abilities

* UndyingLoyalty: Can invoke this onto any ayakkashi just by being near her

* AbelAndCain: At first it seems he's the Abel to Sousei's Cain [[spoiler: it's actually a reverse since Yumeji is far more worse than he could ever be.]]
* BlondesAreEvil: [[spoiler: In his first body at least]]
* [[spoiler: BodySurf]]: [[spoiler: Both Tsukihisa and the Sousui have survived for centuries by taking over the bodies of others. By inhabiting the bodies of powerful ability users, they effectively have access to two abilities at once. Tsukihisa's technique is more advanced than the Sousui's.]]
* [[spoiler: DeaderThanDead: When he and the Sousei are dragged into Masamori's zekkai]]
* EvilVsEvil: With the Sousei
* [[spoiler: GrandTheftMe]]: [[spoiler: On Zero, and he's been doing this to several bodies over the centuries]]
* GreenThumb: He has an entire forest under his control, . He has control over the growth and movement of trees, bushes, plants and roots. He can accelerate the growth of branches and vines and manipulate them as though they were appendages to bind and ensnare opponents. He can even finely control moss creating replicas of his own shape. His control even extends to the poison plants can give off.
* [[spoiler: TheManBehindTheMan: He's the real founder of the Shadow Organization]]
* ManipulativeBastard: He's this to the Shadow Organization, [[spoiler: even to his own brother, the Sousei]]

* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have Yoshimori's endless energy or sheer power but she has far greater accuracy and skill in manipulating Kekkai. The logical conclusion is that her signature style switches from giant Kekkai that she implodes around Ayakashi too small, to thin Kekkai that she uses to stab them and hold them in place.

* [[spoiler: ILetGwenStacyDie I Let Gen Die: He blames himself for being able to save Gen, and uses this as his motivation for revenge.]]

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Cockroaches]]: She's terrified of cockroaches. Probably not helped by the bug Ayakashi that scarred her hand as a child, but fear of cockroaches also runs in the family.

* HeyItsThatVoice: [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Major]], what happened to your machine guns?

* BiggerBad: While Kaguro does have a lot of influence over the arc, one forgets that she's the real mastermind of the conquering of Karasumori land

* SpoiledBrat: Acts like a spoiled little princess, despite [[Really700YearsOld age]].

* HouseHusband: Very much
