In actuality, the former Crimson King is the first of the Red Cross Knights, Kyoichiro, and is himself a construct created by the true Mibu. However, when the true Mibu wiped themselves out, the former Crimson King hid his status as one of their battle puppets and ruled over the Mibu in their stead. Over time, he was overwhelmed by the depravity and violence he witnessed in the human world and came to the ultimate conclusion that everything must be destroyed in order for there to be true peace.]]

::'''Chinmei'''
to:
Chinmei is the Goyosei of Earth, which gives him the power to manipulate gravity. This makes him a formidable combatant since it enables him to immobilize his enemies at will by increasing the gravity in their vicinity fly by eliminating the gravity in his own vicinity and do a large variety of tricks up to and including creating miniature black holes. Chinmei looks a lot like a hippie and complements his appearance by speaking a lot about "peace and love." However, this is just a cover for his real personality, as Chinmei is in fact the most evil and sadistic of the Goyosei who revels in the misery and bloodshed that he is able to sow. Chinmei is often referred to as the Joker of the Goyosei, as he is a wildcard that even the Taishiro do not fully understand. [[spoiler:In truth, Chinmei is Mibu Kyojiro, the second of the Red Cross Knights. He was the first created by the Sendai Aka no Ou and serves as his special agent and assassin. In the far flung past, Chinmei was in love with a seer who, like Sakuya, had her heart synchronized with the Former Crimson King. At her request (she was hoping that the synchronization would result in Kyoichiro dying along with her), Chinmei killed her. However, the Crimson King did not die and Chinmei's ability to resurrect her was taken away as punishment. While he presumably works for the Former Crimson King in hopes of one day being able to revive her in return for his service, the truth is that in the millennia that have passed, he has slowly begun to forget everything about her, ultimately wondering if she even existed at all, causing him to sink into absolute madness where the only solace he could find was in indiscriminate carnage.]]
-----
* AndIMustScream: Chinmei's tale about his long descent into madness as the sheer weight of times strips him of [[spoiler:his memories of the woman he loved and ultimately erasing all feeling whatsoever]] is a horrifying thing to think about.
* ArcWelder: [[spoiler: Chinmei is the one who killed Mahiro's sister (Muramasa's wife), leaving her dead body at the scene with Kyo standing over it, just in time for Mahiro to blunder in and assume that the whole thing was Kyo's fault. However, Kyo never denies this, believing that since he wasn't able to save her, it was the same as killing her himself.]]
* AxCrazy: Probably the most horrific example in the series as killing is the only thing that stimulates Chinmei at all.
* GravityMaster: Chinmei's powers allow him to manipulate gravity and even create black holes.
* KansaiRegionalDialect: Along with Benitora, Chinmei is one of the few characters to use this. However, it is used to help juxtapose his goofy image with the terrifying reality of his sadistic and twisted nature.
* MagnificentBastard: Is always moving behind the scenes, doing the Crimson King's dirty work for him, even going so far as to [[spoiler:manipulate Kyoshiro into killing Yuya's adopted and Sakuya's biological brother.]]
The progenitor of the Mibu Clan and its first ruler. The First Crimson King is encountered by Kyo as he is in fact [[spoiler:the soul of Tenro, Kyo's BFS. The Shodai Aka no Ou merely wanted his people to live lives of comfort and happiness, but ultimately realized that their godlike power only served to lead to their self-destruction, as the fulfillment of all their desires left them with only one source of true stimulation...slaughter. He grants Kyo the mark of the True Crimson King after Kyo overcomes his demon blood (the very thing that brought about the downfall of the rest of the Mibu).]]

When the Former Crimson King first appears, he seems to have strangely benevolent inclinations towards Kyo. There are also mysterious hints that he seems to be setting up a competition between Kyo and Kyoshiro to see who will be the legitimate successor to his title. In truth [[spoiler: The former Crimson King is actually a Mibu construct. Kyoshiro and the other Red Cross Knights were created from his flesh and blood to serve as his own corps of secret assassins. However, all of this masks a still greater secret. In actuality, the former Crimson King is the first of the Red Cross Knights, Kyoichiro, and is himself a constructed created by the true Mibu. However, when the true Mibu wiped themselves out, the former Crimson King hid his status as one of their battle puppets and ruled over the Mibu in their stead. Over time, he was overwhelmed by the depravity and violence he witnessed in the human world and came to the ultimate conclusion that everything must be destroyed in order for there to be true peace.]]

However, after many years had passed and Kyoshiro had fallen under the thrall of the Former Crimson King, he no longer resembled the kind boy that he once was.

The first of the Goyosei to be introduced. He represents the element of water and wields the ''Mumyo Saigyo Ryu'' that allows him to summon his waterwyrms, powerful dragons made from water. In addition to this, he can crystalize water to create blades. He is initially the most fervently loyal of all the Goyosei until it is revealed that [[spoiler: his mentor Fuyuki killed his respected friend, Taihaku.]] In spite of this, Shinrei remains personally loyal to the Mibu Clan in general but comes to believe that the Taishiro and the Sendai Aka no Ou are the true source of the evil that threatens his clan.

Secondly, even if the enemy figures out a way around the first type of attack, by the time they do so, Shinrei will have memorized their rhythm and can anticipate their moves perfectly.

The Wood of the Goyosei. Saishi is an attractive looking woman with an impressive bust, dressed in a nurse's uniform (which is perplexing since this takes place in the early years of the Tokugawa shogunate). She, along with her companion Saisei, guard the second of the five gates leading into the Mibu stronghold. In spite of her cute appearance, she is exceptionally cruel and undeniably evil. She enjoys toying with enemy and ally alike. She is armed with the ability to resurrect the dead as extremely difficult to kill zombies as well as potent regenerative abilities that allow her wounds to heal near instantaneously. After a prolonged battle, it is revealed that Saishi is the only one of the pair that is an actual member of the Goyosei and that Sasei is another of Saishi's animated corpses. She is eventually defeated by Akira after he successfully nullifies her regenerative abilities with his ice techniques.

One of the current Taishiro, thought to be the most powerful ever (which is saying something when you consider the Badassery of Muramasa and Shihodo and the rest. Was at one point the leader of the Taishiro. Uses an incredibly cool Main/{{BFS}} named Hakuya and, when all else fails, his [[spoiler: Main/EvilEye]]. Also, is unarguably the smartest character in the entire series. He makes life. He appears to be rather silent and calm at first, but as pretty much the entire cast--especially Sasuke, Kyo, Akari, Yuan and Julian--finds out, you shouldn't piss him off...

* Main/GoodScarsEvilScars: [[Spoiler: after the Devil Eyes die, he is covered in very nasty scars...]]
* Main/HoYay: With Fubuki. A lot.

*Main/DoggedNiceGuy: From early on he is this towards Yuya. Although, towards the end it becomes apparent that he's starting to develop a thing for [[spoiler: Mahiro]].
*Main/EyesAlwaysShut
*BunnyEarsLawyer: Even his closest servants can't tell when he's serious or not, most of the time.
*DynamicEntry: In what is probably Yukimura's greatest CrowningMomentOfAwesome, he [[spoiler: bursts onto the scene as the Crimson King is about to kill his men, Yuya and Sakuya, and uses his Seikireigan to cut down THREE Suzaku's simultaneously.]]
*BadassNormal: Of all the Shiseiten and even a better part of the cast as a whole, Akira stands out in this respect in that he is the only character (aside from Yuya) who does not have samurai blood, which becomes a major hurdle he has to overcome because in the context of the story, it means his ability to grow and improve is severely limited compared to the rest of the cast.
*DeadlyUpgrade: He manages to pull this off twice. The first time he invokes his Inferno's Chill power, which allows him to use his life-force in order to surpass physical laws and generate temperatures below absolute zero. Then he does it a second time in his battle with [[spoiler: Tokito, where he turns his Inferno's Chill power on himself, which activates the pressure points Jullian had stimulated earlier, giving him a huge boost in power and allowing him to use the colder still, Heaven's Chill attack. This comes at the cost of completely wrecking his body, although he is later healed by Kyo's blood.]]
*TheMole: Akari is secretly [[spoiler: Ashura, Hishigi's Imperial Guard, who was sent to spy on Kyo.]]
*StoryBreakerPower: Akari's original Medusa Eye, which has the power to instantly turn anyone who sees it into ash. Subverted by the fact that Akari uses to employ it in battle because it is a weapon for indiscriminate murder.

Ou''' [[spoiler: Mibu Kyoichiro]]
A mysterious figure in the story. His identity, nature and intentions are a mystery throughout much of the story. When the Former Crimson King first appears, he seems to have strangely benevolent inclinations towards Kyo. There are also mysterious hints that he seems to be setting up a competition between Kyo and Kyoshiro to see who will be the legitimate successor to his title. In truth [[spoiler: The former Crimson King is actually one of the last of the true Mibu. Kyoshiro and the other Red Cross Knights were created from his flesh and blood to serve as his own corps of secret assassins. However, all of this masks a still greater secret. In actuality, the former Crimson King is the first of the Red Cross Knights, Kyoichiro, and is himself a constructed created by the true Mibu. However, when the true Mibu wiped themselves out, the former Crimson King hid his status as one of their battle puppets and ruled over the Mibu in their stead. Over time, he was overwhelmed by the depravity and violence he witnessed in the human world and came to the ultimate conclusion that everything must be destroyed in order for there to be true peace.]]
*AGodIAm: Played terrifyingly straight. He even has the power to create and destroy at will. Subverted at the end when it is revealed that [[spoiler: he too is one of the Mibu's battle puppets, just one of the ones that is closest to the true Mibu, so his power rivals theirs.]]
*AllYourPowersCombined: Aside from being a master of the Mumyou-Jinpuu-Ryu, whe also has the ability to use all the skills of the lesser Mibu at will.
*ObfuscatingStupidity: In his first real appearance outside of silhouette, he appears to be incredibly near-sighted, talking to pillars and walking into walls. But when Tokito steps out of line...
*OmnicidalManiac: Comes to the conclusion that mankind is beyond redemption and decides they must all be wiped out.
*StepfordSmiler: When he first appears, the Crimson King's appearance is positively goofy. At times he makes it incredibly intimidating.
