History Characters / Kekkaishi

* {{Kitsune}}: However, we don't see her fox form too much.

* RapunzelHair: Her hair is long enough to reach her hips.

* SkirtOverSlacks

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* 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).

->'''Voiced by:''' Sachiko Kojima (Japanese), Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn (English)

* {{Expy}}: He looks like a fusion of [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr. Wily]] and [[Manga/FairyTail Makarov]].

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He was KilledOffForReal just when it looked like he would form a PowerTrio with the others.]]

* CampGay: ''Floating pink hearts'' while he gushes over Master Tokimori.

* MonsterSobStory

* EvilVsEvil: With his brother.

* EvilVsEvil: With the Sousui.

* SweetTooth

* PuppetMaster: Inanimate objects touched by Tsumugi's hair spring to life and form enormous puppets that do his bidding.

* DrinkOrder: Coffee milk.

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

* YourDaysAreNumbered: Why her organization is trying to prevent the collapse of her dimension. From what can be guessed, she probably can't survive too much outside of that dimension. Eventually, [[spoiler: she concludes that she's better off dying]].

* {{Kitsune}}: However, we don't see how fox form too much.

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

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Coffee milk.

* GoodIsNotNiceL He has well-intentions but he works for the Shadow Organizatin.

* AdaptationalVillainy: She's more neutral in the manga.

* AloofBigBrother

* GoodIsNotNice

* TheStoic

* TwoFaced

* BigBad: Of Kokubourou. 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.[[spoiler: though it turns out she's not completely evil as, Sen states she doesn't have an evil presence]]. In the manga, however, the whole plan was Byaku's idea.

* {{Kitsune}}

* DoesNotLikeShoes

* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: Once from Tokine for intentionally getting captured by Kokuboro, forcing his allies to endanger themselves to rescue him, and from Tokiko, minus a slap, for trying to save the school from an Ayakashi swarm with a technique he had NO IDEA how to use and probably would have ended up killing everyone.]]

* {{Tsundere}}: Mild version. Alternates between fanship fodder moments with Yoshimori, treating him as a coworker/classmate, treating him like a kid brother, treating him like an ''annoying'' kid brother, beating him up for annoying her, and beating him up [AngerBornOfWorry while crying her eyes out for worrying her]], then playing the trope as straight as possible by beating him up while trying to apologize to him.
* 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 to small, thin Kekkai that she uses to stab them and hold them in place.

* NeverMessWithGranny: Yoshimori can't keep up with her.

* HellishPupils: With two irises in fact, that make him seriously unnerving.

* BackFromTheDead: Repeatedly. [[spoiler: Is still alive, although without his powers.]]

* 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 general 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.

* TechnicalPacifist

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

* {{Expy}}: Her human form brings [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Rukia]] to mind.

* LackOfEmpathy: He routinely treats Hime, the only being for whom he probably ever felt anything, so coldly, that you would be forgiven for thinking he has some [[EvilPlan sinister plan]] for her, and will discard her the instant she's not needed for it anymore (as he treats his minions). Actually, [[spoiler: Byaku sincerely wishes to heal Hime,]] it's just that he so out of touch with others' emotions, that not only his reaction to [[spoiler: his wife's bout of depression - after he disfigured her in an attempt to extend her life by magic - was calmly helping her to kill herself.]] He also fails to see why anyone might object to it.

* BigBad: Of Kokubourou. 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.[[spoiler: though it turns out she's not completely evil as, Sen states she doesn't have an evil presence]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: She [[spoiler: may not have an evil presence]] but, by human standards, she's pretty antagonistic in terms of what she wants.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Though [[spoiler: lacking an evil presence]] but is still an antagonist, she is puzzled by [[spoiler: Yoshimori's kindness towards her (he mistook her for another prisoner and broke her chains) and she thought about killing him but decided to let him go, instead]].
* GracefulLoser: Towards the end of her arc, in light of her dimension collapsing and her illness,[[spoiler: she realizes she can't win and, so, she decides to admit defeat, concluding that she's better off dying]]
* HandicappedBadass: Being crippled by terminal illness be damned, she's still powerful and she does put up a fight.

* NonMaliciousMonster: Oddly, unlike many other youkai/spirits we encounter in the series, she is one that [[spoiler: doesn't have an evil presence.]]

* TranshumanTreachery: As a human, he was a thief. As a demon, he's murderer.

* SmallNameBigEgo: For someone of his position, he's not very strong to back up his claims

* NiceGuy: One of the nicest and gentlest.

* TheArthurDent
* HouseHusband: Very much.

* StayInTheKitchen: He is the main chef of the household after all.

* TeamMom: With his wife away, he has to play this role

* BadassGrandpa: When the Ayakashi become too much for the kids to handle, he steps in.

* HandicappedBadass: Illness be damned and being crippled be damned, she's still powerful.

* NonMaliciousMonster: Oddly, unlike other youkai/spirits we encounter in the series, she [[spoiler: doesn't have an evil presence.]]

* BadassDecay: As the years passed, her power waned to the point that her organization tried to find ways to prolong the collapse of her dimension.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: She [[spoiler: may not have an evil presence]] but she's pretty antagonistic in terms of what she wants.
* HandicappedBadass: Illness be damned, she's still powerful.
* IllGirl: She's very sick and has been for some time.
* ItsAllAboutMe: As the below entries would state, she can't think much outside of her own whims and desires

* NonMaliciousMonster: Oddly, unlike other youkai/spirits we encounter in the series, she [[spoiler: doesn't have an evil presence.]]

* YourDaysAreNumbered: Why her organization is trying to prevent the collapse of her dimension. From what can be guessed, she probably can't survive too much outside of that dimension

* BadAssDecay: As the years passed, her power waned to the point that her organization tried to find ways to prolong the collapse of her dimension.
* BigBad: Of Kokubourou. 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.[[spoiler: though it turns out she's not completely evil as Sen states she doesn't have an evil presence]].

* CaptainErsatz: ''Very'' obviously based on [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Shishio Makoto]]. It doubles as FridgeBrilliance. After his death, Shishio 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 Kaguro's human origin is as 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]].]]
