!Northern Territory
[[folder:General]]
* AbsoluteCleavage: Tsukiumi, Matsu, and Kazehana all show a good portion of their cleavage in their usual outfits.
* ActionGirlfriend: Meeting the Sekirei turns Minato's life upside-down and he finds himself in an immense battle of super-powered HumanAliens. Since Minato is a NonActionGuy through and through, the girls are in charge of the fighting and they all are capable of kicking ass.
* ActOfTrueLove: Minato does this with everyone in his harem:
** He protects Musubi from being killed by Hibiki and Hikari despite knowing he's no match.
** He shields Kusano from Yomi's scythe knowing he'll die in the process.
** He (indirectly) saved Matsu from her years of loneliness and gave her a reason to finally be active outside her room.
** He protected Tsukiumi from being winged by Seo and gave her a home to come back to instead of living alone as she has been for the last few years.
** He mended Kazehana's broken heart and moved her with his love for his Sekirei and accepted her for who she is despite her flaws.
** He saved Homura from killing himself and winged him despite the two being reluctant that he's a guy and getting himself burned in the process to save him from himself.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Every single girl in the harem has shown perverted behaviors towards Minato in one way or another. Homura, the only man in the harem, is the one member who never tries to get in bed with Minato and that despite Homura being an experienced host.
** Musubi has no problems with Minato seeing her naked and (accidentally) kissed Matsu without even flinching and enjoyed having Yukari groping her.
** Downplayed on Kusano, but she seems to have picked up some of Matsu's bad habits which is not fitting for a little girl.
** Matsu makes no shy effort to try to "experiment" on Minato's body repeatedly or trying to sneak into his room at night.
** Tsukiumi is mostly reluctant, but she's okay in allowing Minato to stare at her body or place his hand on her bare breasts to entice him.
** Kazehana loves to dress sexually around Minato (sometimes even naked) and makes multiple statements in her desires to make love with him while teasing him on how she intends for it to be "intense" once they finally have sex.
* BabiesEverAfter: The author confirms Minato will have children with all of his Sekirei harem (minus Kusano since she's a child and Kagari who's a man).
* BadassCrew: The six Sekirei in Minato's harem fit this with all of them capable of handling themselves in a fight. Later becomes more of a BadassFamily after Minato marries them all.
* BalancedHarem: Minato has specifically stated that he loves all his girls equally, and wants to return ALL their feelings. Initially there was a disproportionate emphasis on Musubi, but over time Musubi lost her camera time edge and was often paired off with Tsukiumi during any scenes showing her, allowing the other girls their chance to shine. This has helped the balance greatly. Minato eventually [[MarryThemAll marries them all]], as he loves them all the way they are and refuses to favor one over the other and loves every single member equally.
* BattleHarem: The six Sekirei in Minato's harem not only fight other Sekirei to protect him, but also fighting each other (mostly for comedic affects) for his love and attention and who gets to go on a date with him at times.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: They are some of the most fun loving and nicest people all around who usually prefer not to engage in fighting unless their lives are at stake. But when pushed, they ''will'' push back. As any time Minato's life is in danger, they will kick anyone to the curb who dare to harm their beloved.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: They are some of the oddest and quirkiest groups of Sekirei in the series, but they are also one of the most powerful forces ruling the Northern Territory. And unlike other territories, they have not ever lost a single member of the group when in a fight.
* BigBreastPride: Musubi, Tsukiumi, Matsu and Kazehana all have large breasts and are proud of themselves for it. A running gag is that ''many'' characters comment on how endowed the girls are compared to other Sekirei's (as well as their jealousy that Minato has such beautiful women in his harem). A recurring theme of them is that they often argue who's the bustiest of the girls or who use their assets the most. An OVA special features them measuring their sizes, with (in order of who's the bustiest) features Kazehana (B98/W60/H92), follow by Musubi (B97/W58/H89), Matsu (B95/W59/H91), and Tsukiumi (B94/W57/H88).
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Of the girls, Matsu and Kazehana were the most excited when they first saw Minato naked for the first time and seeing that he is [[GagPenis ''hung like crazy'']]. While Musubi and Kusano are too innocent to understand, Tsukiumi tries to divert herself in shyness while Homura tries to ignore it, but Matsu giggles obscenely in delight while stating that the "data" down there is MUCH MORE than she'd expected, and Kazehana smiles obscenely in absolute delight seeing how manly her husband is down there.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: They're an utterly random collection of individuals, quirky as hell (even the relatively saner ones), and about as far from normal Sekireis one can get. Get on their bad side, though, and they will show you how Minato earned the title of "Ashikabi of the North". In order of when they joined Minato's harem:
** Musubi has super human strength, a bottomless stomach to eat, can cook only curry, and can be a total moron with no common sense in regard to the norms of nudity around Minato, but is a total sweet-heart.
** Kusano is just a child, but is capable of growing a tiny plant in a pot to the size of a small forest when her emotions get out of control. Even still she tries to fit in the sexy trope of all the other girls, but never gets a chance largely due to her young age.
** Matsu lives in a hidden wall in the Izumo Inn, has amazing hacking skills with the capabilities of destroying a city in a flash, a massive pervert towards Minato with no shame in trying to "experiment" on him, and largely serves as the MissionControl for the group with key intel.
** Tsukiumi, while one of the saner members, lets her temper get the better of her to which she's one minute loving Minato and acting like a {{Tsundere}} another, either splashing him with water, or clinging to him not wanting the other girls to take him.
** Kazehana is a former Disciplinary Squad Member who can wipe the floor with almost anyone in her way, control the wind to her command, and dresses the most sexualized of the girls and just loves to drink all the time and laze about at the Inn while flirting or dressing in something to entice Minato.
** Homura is the only guy of the harem, has a "complicated" body due to him reacting to Minato, serves as more of an AloofAlly and watcher of the other Sekirei and those outside. His disguise is also very poor at best yet it fooled Tsukiumi and Musubi for half the series till he was winged, to which he's the only of the group who doesn't exhibit jealousy towards Minato the most and blames Tsukiumi for "infecting" him.
* BuxomIsBetter: While most Sekirei are fairly endowed, the girls in Minato's harem (minus Kusano) are ''stacked''. And they are proud of it. And Minato knows [[ThanksForTheMammary better than anyone]]. Many who commented on his girls comment how lucky a man he is.
* CantHaveSexEver: Miya ''will not'' allow Minato or his girls having sex in the Izumo Inn. ''Ever''. Later strongly implied (and later confirmed) is not out of any malice, but concern for their well-being at the thought of any of them dying and not wanting them to get too close to Minato and having them suffer a broken heart due to losing any of them. Once the Sekirei Plan is finally over and Miya is reunited with her husband, Minato and his wives (except Kusano and Homura) are free to finally have sex with him.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** Minato started out as rather meek and insecure with himself both as a man and his ability to believe in himself. With the love and encouragement, he gains from his Sekirei he learns to be more confident and outgoing with himself as well as learning that he's actually a lot smarter than he believes. He was also very nervous when it came to his girls, what with him being a normal Ronin surrounded by a harem of Beautiful women lusting for him on a regular basis made him shy half the time. As the series progresses, he becomes more comfortable and intimate around them. By the time after Musubi's return from Kouten, Minato has become much more comfortable with his Sekirei and fully embraced them all as his wives and engages in sexual moments with all of them (except Kusano) rather than them making the first move as they have before. A testament to this is that he even kisses ''Homura'' of his own free will without any discomfort as before despite being of the opposite gender.
** Musubi was very naive and thoughtless towards common norms around her such as modesty and thinking in combat. Thanks to Minato's influence and the other girls she becomes more independent with herself and able to think ahead of her opponents rather than rushing in without thinking.
** Kusano was often frightened very easily by almost anyone to the point she hid behind Minato when she saw anything scary. After realizing her own potential as a Sekirei she learns to take a more active role in fights to the point now she isn't as scared of other and even ''bites'' Seo anytime she sees him bullying others.
** Matsu always stayed at the Inn while the others were out fighting for their lives while she was the MissionControl of the group. Once she realized how much everyone was putting their lives on the line, she realized she also needed to be more active and stop hiding, to which she engages in the 4th stage of the Sekirei Plan of her own free will and took and active role in that stage.
** Tsukiumi was very aggressive and stubborn viewing herself and superior towards others as well as considering herself as Minato's "legal" wife and the other girls as nothing but concubines despite them having been with him far longer than she has. After Musubi was almost terminated due to her negligence in not assisting them with the ordeal with Shigi and Kuno, Tsukiumi realized how petty she was behaving and took it upon herself to change for the better. She becomes much warmer and considerate of all the other Sekirei's feelings rather than her own and learns of her own limitations rather than denying them. In Sekirei 365 Days Without Her, she takes her role as one of Minato's wives very seriously such as doing all the house chores due to Miya's illness and refuses to be intimate with Minato as before out of respect till Musubi's return, a far cry from the previous EntitledToHaveYou behavior she had.
** Kazehana was often lazing about everywhere she went drinking all the time due to her suffering a broken heart and trying to find something to fill that void. After seeing Minato's love for his Sekirei, she realized her newfound love for him and let him wing her to take her on as his Sekirei. With that Kazehana was able to engage more openly with others and be much more upbeat and cheery with everyone at the Inn and regain her desire to find love again in Minato.
** Homura was obsessed with finding a female Ashikabi made him feel insecure with himself due to his body reacting towards Minato. He acted out being cold and brutal, refusing to accept he had feelings for a guy. After Minato winged him and saved his life stating it doesn't matter if he's a guy but he is someone who is special to him just as the others. After this Homura finally came to terms of his sexuality and grows to be more open and honest towards others as well as accepting himself for who he is. By the time of Musubi's return he's fully embraced his love for Minato and is much friendlier to everyone else in the harem.
* ClingyJealousGirl: All the girls exhibit jealousy to different degrees and engage in competitions over who will sit next to Minato at the dinner table and so on.
* CommonLawMarriage: Minato isn't ''legally'' married to anyone in his harem (as in the eyes of the real-life law in Japan, it would be illegal to marry six people at once especially when one of them is a child). However, the laws of Sekirei states that when an [[TrueLovesKiss Ashikabi wings a Sekirei]], that is considered a form of marriage. Upon the end of the series, Minato's Sekirei consider themselves married to him and they'll continue living happily by his side as a family for the rest of their lives.
* DevotedToYou: Minato is completely and absolutely devoted to everyone in his harem. The others fully feel the same way and love him unquestionably.
* DynamicEntry: A RunningGag is that Minato tends to meet (or be greeted by) his girls when they land on top of him from either the sky or from a high location.
* EndearinglyDorky: All of them are likable and have an adorable side which makes them more appealing. Most notably is Musubi and Kusano's childish and GenkiGirl behavior or Kazehana acting all giddy when romance is involved.
* EveryoneHasStandards: They all may be part of the Sekirei Plan, but they will not tolerate abusing Sekirei for other people's selfish desires. The whole group especially hates Higa for how he forces his Sekirei to do his dirty work against their will.
* FiveManBand:
** Minato is TheLeader: Capable of formulating strategies and thinking on the fly with his Sekirei.
** Musubi and Kazehana are {{The Big Girl}}s:
*** Musubi is the most skilled in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts.
*** Kazehana is the CoolBigSis who looks out for others and ensuring they are all safe when Miya is not around. She's also Minato's most powerful Sekirei in direct combat by default thanks to being one of the first five single numbers who formed the first Disciplinary Squad.
** Kusano is TheHeart: Young child who stops the arguments between the haremettes are getting out of hand and helps them to get along with each other.
** Matsu is TheSmartGirl: Responsible for giving key details and information when needed.
** Tsukiumi is TheLancer: Whenever Minato is not around, she keeps everyone else in check in fights and the most reliable whenever the others have to fend for themselves. Her abrasiveness and hot temper serve as a direct contrast to Minato's and Musubi's nicer and idealistic personalities.
** Homura is the SixthRanger: Starting as an AloofAlly, he's the last to join the established team.
* FourElementEnsemble: There are four elemental-type Sekirei in Minato's harem, each controlling one of the four primary elements of water (Tsukiumi), wind (Kazehana), fire (Homura/Kagari), and earth/plants (Kusano).
* FunbagAirbag: Minato is often greeted from above when he comes home by his girls, boobs-first landing on his face.
* GagBoobs: Excluding Kusano and Homura, the rest of the girls in Minato's harem have huge breasts. Made more notable is that while most Sekirei are fairly endowed compared to human women, Minato's girls are the bustiest characters in the whole series. At one point, Benitsubasa makes a call to the Izumo Inn and asks for the woman with big breasts. Kuu is understandably confused as it causes her to think of ''all'' of the girls at the Inn due to them having big breasts.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Excluding Kusano, Minato's girls tend to ''really'' bounce their breasts around him to please him or whenever they are in a fight (or both).
* GoalInLife: Every single member of the group, Minato included, only had one single goal in life: ending the Sekirei Plan so they could live together forever as a family. Upon Musubi's return from Kouten, that wish is finally granted.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: While Miya refuses any sexual relations at the Inn, after her reunion with her husband seems to somewhat changes that. And of his wives, Musubi, Matsu, Tsukiumi and Kazehana all consider Minato to be an ''incredible'' lover once they finally get the chance to sleep with him.
* HappilyMarried: The moment [[TrueLovesKiss an Ashikabi wings a Sekirei through a kiss]] is equal to a marriage ceremony to a Sekirei, therefore Minato is technically married to his six Sekirei. All of Minato's Sekirei have a healthy and joyful relationship with him where he treats them with equal love and affection.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Out of all the girls, [[ActionGirl Musubi]], [[HotScientist Matsu]], [[{{Tsundere}} Tsukiumi]], and [[CoolBigSis Kazehana]] fit this the most, with many other Ashikabi who have meet or at least heard of them have commented on how lucky Minato is to have such beautiful women in his harem.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: While Miya and Uzume are not part of Minato's harem (Miya has her husband and Uzume her Ashikabi) Minato and everyone else consider them family because of how much they mean to the group as a whole.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: It's more apparent in the anime with Minato's girls having very narrow waists and figures. The most notable is Kazehana having the most fit figure of all the girls.
* InnocentCohabitation: Minato lives at Izumo Inn with his Sekirei harem, but no one is having sex with Minato. Miya has threatened to kick them out, if it doesn't ''stay'' that way. A RunningGag is that, prior to Kazehana and Homura being winged, all the girls would sleep in his room and even in the same bed trying to snuggle with him. After Miya catches them all together she sets up a living arrangement so as they all get their own rooms. Ironically, Minato actually misses sleeping with them despite being so hard to sleep that now he finds it even harder to sleep without them.
* InterruptedIntimacy: It's like Miya just '''knows''' when to pop in to ruin any romantic moment the girls have with Minato. Largely the reason why everyone in the group are still virgins is because of Miya.
* InterspeciesRomance: Sekirei are a race of super-powered HumanAliens. The Ashikabi (a human with Sekirei blood) Minato forms a harem of six Sekirei and eventually marries all of them.
* LetsWaitAWhile: Excluding Kusano and Homura, Minato's Sekirei ''really'' want to make love to him, but Miya will not allow any form of sexual relations in her inn so Minato's Sekirei are frequently thwarted by Miya and threatened to be kicked out if they break her rules. Even so, on one way or another, all the girls (except Kusano) have attempted to sleep with Minato who ''is'' sexually attracted to his Sekirei (apart from [[TokenMiniMoe Kusano]]), but he remains a gentleman due to respecting Miya's rules. He's resolved to avoid sleeping with any of them until they've triumphed over the Sekirei Plan and ensured that they can be together forever. ''After'' the Sekirei Plan is finally over, Minato will father children with all his wives (except Kusano and Homura), so it's safe to assume Minato's girls will have a healthy and sexual marriage with him.
* LimitedWardrobe: They wear the same clothes every single day. In fact, MBI provides the Sekirei clothing for the excessive amount of ClothingDamage in battle... and the sets of clothes are always identical.
* LivingWithTheVillain: Excluding Kazehana (who kept it to herself out of respect for her friendship with her), no one at the Inn were aware that they live under the same roof as the infamous Sekirei Hunter, Uzume's SecretIdentity.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Excluding Homura, all the girls fell in love with Minato from the moment they met him, even before they realized they were falling for him.
* LoverTugOfWar: Minato is often the target of this, usually involving Tsukiumi and Musubi.
* MaleGaze: All of Minato's Sekirei are subjected to this:
** Musubi - Her large breasts and cute smile.
** Kusano - Primarily her cute eyes and feet.
** Matsu - Her good legs and very large butt.
** Tsukiumi - Her large bust and her panties being flashed a lot.
** Kazehana - Her long slender legs and the largest bust of all the girls.
** Homura - The camera often reminds us he grew breasts after reacting to Minato.
* MarshmallowHell: Minato is often pleasured by his harem because of this, thanks to his incredibly well-endowed harem. Competition between Musubi and Tsukiumi often involves him being squished dangerously between their breasts. Matsu loves to pounce on Minato while landing on top of him with her breasts when she tries to "experiment" on him. Kazehana takes the cake, though, having the largest chest in the entire series and a tendency to shove his face into her cleavage when excited or hug him from behind and press them against his back. Even more so that he almost ''immediately'' knows who suffocating him with their breasts is because of how often his girls do this. Granted, he's fine with it given how beautiful his girls are and because he loves them all.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Matsu and Kazehana look only a few years older than their 20-year-old Ashikabi Minato, but they were fully grown adults when he was an infant and haven't aged since. According to Matsu in the final epilogue, Sekirei age at a slow pace and Kusano, the youngest, will have twice the lifespan of a regular human.
* MsFanservice: Even by Sekirei standards, the girls in Minato's harem (excluding Kusano who's just a child) are ''amazingly'' beautiful, which is given what with their rather noticeable [[BuxomIsBetter "assets".]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Even Tsukiumi and Homura, who are arguably the sanest and most mature of the group, have their comedic moments. One minute, Tsukiumi is fine then she flies off the handle when one of the girls are clinging to Minato, while Homura whenever someone makes fun of him to which he resorts to using his fire powers to give someone a fuzzy afro.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Miya and Tsukiumi are usually the ones Minato is trying to explain himself to after they catch him in easily misunderstood situations with his harem.
* OneTrueLove: Minato is considered the love of their lives, and no one will ever replace him.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Usually played for laughs, as whenever the girls get a chance to go on a date with Minato they all take it so serious their willing to fight each other in order to spend time with him.
* OutOfClothesExperience: They all have this during the final stage of the Sekirei Plan and their effort to revive Minato after he's been poisoned.
* PantyFighter: Musubi, Kazehana and Tsukiumi are the primary victims of {{Panty Shot}}s.
* {{Polyamory}}: Minato loves all of his Sekirei equally and affectionately to which they reciprocate happily. Except for Tsukiumi, Minato's Sekirei are alright with sharing him from the start. If anything, they fight over who he pays the most attention to. By the end of the story, Minato gets to stay with his six Sekirei and is married to all of them under the Sekirei customs.
* ThePowerOfLove: The primary reason they are all so strong. As because of how much Minato cares and loves for them all, and because they reciprocate that love. As there is nothing anyone of them would not do for each other because of the love they all have for each other.
* PrettyFreeloaders: Miya complains that almost none of Minato's harem (except for perhaps Matsu and Homura) are paying the rent. An omake clarifies that Matsu is the one who has been paying the share for everyone besides Minato and Homura.
* ProudBeauty: Excluding Homura who keeps neutral about this, all of Minato's Sekirei all enjoy flaunting their looks around him to either entice him or argue with each other who's breasts are larger (Kazehana being the bustiest).
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The group as a whole has Musubi, who can be a total moron with super strength to destroy a house, Kusano who's just a kid yet can grow a small forest with her emotions alone, Matsu who's extremely perverted and can hack MBI satellites and level an entire city if she wishes, Tsukiumi who can manipulate water, is very hot-tempered and is known for having her panties flashed, Kazehana who drinks all the time and can control the wind to do her bidding anytime she wants, and Homura, whose body is "complicated" due to him being artificially created which means he can have [[{{Hermaphrodite}} both male and female parts]], a fact he constantly tries to hide. The group as a whole are feared because of how many Minato has gathered under his wing, yet ironically are completely unaware that he himself is just a plain ordinary guy while others are unaware just ''how'' strong everyone in his harem is thanks to him.
* RescueRomance: Minato ended up saving all of them in more than one way that made everyone in the group fall for him.
** Musubi was almost terminated by Hikari and Hibiki and saved her from the duo.
** Kusano was targeted by Hayato and saved her from being abducted and forcibly winged.
** Matsu was always living in hiding and finally broke out of that after Minato arrived at the Izumo Inn giving Matsu a reason to finally be active.
** Tsukiumi was alone and nearly forced to be winged by Seo had Minato not proclaimed her to be his Sekirei instead.
** Kazehana suffered a broken heart for over 20 years and Minato managed to become her SecondLove and help her move on and fill the void in her heart.
** Homura was on the verge of killing himself due to his body burning up till Minato stepped in to save him and help him regain his will to live.
* RunningGag: ''Everyone'' in Minato's harem (himself included) all have something quirky about them that differentiate themselves from each other.
** Minato gets a nosebleed from everyone (minus Kusano and Homura) when they do something perverted towards him and having to explain to Miya when he gets in a perverted situation with his harem that it's not what he thinks.
** Musubi's inhuman brute strength usually causes collateral damage around the Izumo Inn and gets her clothes torn to the point she's almost naked.
** Kusano cares around a small plant which grows enormous when she cries or is upset that entangles others to stop fighting. She also loves to dress up as little animals thanks to Uzume's collection of costumes.
** Matsu tries to pounce Minato to engage in intimacy only to be thwarted by Miya and denied food as punishment.
** Tsukiumi has her panties flashed most of the time which embarrasses her and tries to claim herself as his "legal" wife which riles the other girls up.
** Kazehana drinks a large sum of alcohol or acting very clingy and affectionate to Minato when she sees his "manly" qualities claiming how much she loves him.
** Homura using his fire powers to burn anyone who makes fun of him (usually Matsu) giving them a fuzzy afro. And in regard to his ambiguous gender, he can't decide whether to go in the male or female side of baths or changing rooms.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Excluding Kusano who doesn't know any better, all the girls have no qualms in showing off their naked bodies to Minato, whether it's an accident or on purpose to entice him because of how much they love him.
* ShipperOnDeck: One of the very few harems in which the main character has a harem and the girls in it are ''completely ok'' with him adding more members to his growing harem. Best shown after winging Kazehana Musubi was perfectly okay and even praised Minato in winging a fifth member. And later with the ordeal with Homura all the girls (even Tsukiumi) were okay in Minato winging Homura. As in a way, the group also can consider that they gain not just another love rival, but a family member.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Since reacting towards Minato, everyone in his harem never once show a hint of interest towards any other character other than him.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: The primary reason everyone of Minato's wives loves him so much is because of how selfless and kind he is to them and others. It was also largely the reason they chose him as their Ashikabi is because they saw his compassion for them even before they were interested in him.
* ThanksForTheMammary: A running gag is that Minato has at least groped all the girls (except Kusano) multiple times due to perverted antics at the Inn. Even more so is that they all enjoy when he does this due to how much they love him and enjoy being intimate with him. Hell, even ''Homura'' was groped by him at least once.
* TookALevelInBadass: All of them, Minato included, have all grown and improved themselves as the story progresses and made a name for themselves and become feared in the Northern Territory.
* TopWife: Surprisingly averted, as Minato very much seeks to avoid favoritism and prefers to love them all equally rather than favor one over the other and the Sekirei he's winged generally respect this, though they can ruffle each other's feathers from time to time.
* TrueCompanions: No matter how much they argue with each other or bicker over Minato's affections, everyone in the harem love and care for one another like family.
* TrueLovesKiss: This is usually how they are winged by Minato and join the harem. It does get played straight as even ''after'' kissing him they still fall in love with him.
* TrueLoveIsExceptional: All of them have expressed their desires on finding someone who was either manly (Kazehana), kind (Musubi and Kusano), a woman (Homura), who was intelligent and confident (Matsu), or brave (Tsukiumi). Every single member has all come to find Minato their OneTrueLove despite all his flaws and imperfections as well as accepting their love for him.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Because Minato is such an ordinary guy, almost no one takes him serious in a fight. Yet he has 6 Sekirei, four of which are single numbers and two are former Disciplinary Squad members. This ''really'' comes back at their enemies who underestimate them.
* UndyingLoyalty: No matter how dark it has gotten for them, Minato would gladly lay his life down or even die for his Sekirei. They fully reciprocate this for him even knowing if he dies, they all die.
* VaporWear: Judging from their usual outfits and the faded nipples from their usual clothes shown, excluding Homura, none of the girls wear a bra. Possibly PlayedForLaughs given that the girls are so busty that they ''can't'' find a bra to fill their bust sizes. Though considering their clothes usually get destroyed in combat, it's likely justified due to knowing it would just get destroyed.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: If there is one thing they all have in common, is that they ''will not'' tolerate anyone daring enough to harm their beloved Minato.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinnosukeTachibana (JP), Creator/JoelMcDonald (EN)

The Ashikabi of the North, and the main protagonist of the story. He has failed college entrance exams twice, due to his inability to deal with pressure. As a result, he's considered as an idiot and a loser. His life changes immensely when he first meets Musubi and becomes her Ashikabi. As he gains more Sekirei over the course of the story due to his kind heart, he becomes a pivotal and powerful player in the Sekirei Plan.

'''Sekirei:''' Musubi, Tsukiumi, Matsu, Kusano, Kazehana, and Homura
----
* AboveTheInfluence: Minato is trying his best to remain a gentleman... even with all his Sekirei hitting on him.
* AccidentalPervert: Erotic accidents are ought to happen when his harem has several {{Shameless Fanservice Girl}}s.
* ActionSurvivor: He has no special powers of his own beyond being able to wing his Sekirei. Still, he's gutsy enough to put his life on the line on the battlefield.
* AllLovingHero: He has unlimited compassion and will lend a hand to anyone in trouble.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: He cares about the safety and happiness of his Sekirei before anything else.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He feels protective towards his little sister Yukari, but in the past he was bad at following through with it. He's doing a much better job with Kuu.
* BigGood: He becomes the biggest force of good in the Sekirei Plan for being the most benevolent of the territory leaders and having a lot of very powerful Sekirei.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's a slender, boyishly-handsome young man, though unlike some of the other Ashikabi, his feminine looks emphasize his own apparent weakness rather than his attractiveness. Regardless, everyone in his harem find him handsome.
* BloodSplatteredInnocents: In the manga, [[spoiler: Uzume]] dies in his arms. He's left covered in her blood, shocking the others when they return home.
* ButtMonkey: Minato's never safe from the suffering his mother and sister put him through.
* CallingTheOldWomanOut: Subverted when Minato finally calls out Takami while protecting his Sekirei. She's proud of him for what he's done, but, being the {{troll}} she is, ends up arresting him and the Sekirei anyway.
* ChickMagnet: He's gained the affections of 6 Sekirei in his harem. All the girls find him very handsome.
* ChivalrousPervert: He's a good guy and a gentleman, but there are moments where he does give in to temptation towards his Sekirei. And considering how ''all'' of them try hitting on him despite him trying to be modest, it's not all that surprising he'd give in on occasion. He does love and respect his Sekirei as individuals, expressing disgust at other Ashikabi's such as Higa who use their Sekirei's for their own selfish purposes. He also will ''not'' take advantage of Kusano since she's a child and was ''very'' disturbed when she tried to hit on him and let him stare at her chest.
* ClassicalAntiHero: At the start of the series, he's a down-on-his-luck {{Ronin}} without any self-confidence nor courage. As the series progresses, he becomes braver and more heroic because he gains the will to win the Sekirei Plan and not allow himself to lose any of his Sekirei.
* ClosetKey: Kagari wanted a female Ashikabi, but his body reacted to Minato on its own. Despite some initial reluctance, Kagari accepts Minato as his Ashikabi and joins his Sekirei harem.
* CooldownHug: Gives a literal one to an overloaded, suicidal [[spoiler:Homura]]. Lampshaded after he attempts to resolve a conflict by hugging [[spoiler:Uzume.]]
-->'''Homura''': ''Is hugging....one of your specialties or something?''
* CowardlyLion: Normally meek and insecure, but when push comes to shove he's stood his ground against enemy Sekirei without a second thought.
* DareToBeBadass: [[spoiler:After Uzume's termination]], Miya tells him there's only one way to restore the broken bonds of defeated Sekirei.
-->'''Miya''': ''Hope lies in the last remaining one who has overcome every catastrophe since the time of legends. Sahashi-san, do you have the courage to take that position?''
* DeclarationOfProtection: He wants to protect the Sekirei who eventually choose him.
* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: Unfortunately for him in episode 5. Matsu's secret visit to his bedroom caused Miya to deny him breakfast. This doesn't seem to actually happen though.
* TheDitherer: Because of his insecurities, before his CharacterDevelopment.
* TheDreaded: Minato is surprised to learn people are 'terrified'' of the "Ashikabi of the North". Suffice to say, he doesn't live up to his reputation.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: He's rarely wrong about people, seeing the good in the JerkWithAHeartOfGold while steering clear of the ManipulativeBastard trying to make friends.
* FromZeroToHero: He went from an unlucky ronin college school student to a powerful Ashikabi involved in the Sekirei Plan.
* GagPenis: Matsu is rather.....''pleased'' the first time she sees Minato naked.
-->'''Matsu''': ''But Mina-tan, the data down here is much more than I expected..!''
* GameBreaker: An in-universe example. Minato gets called out by Higa as being one during the 4th stage of the Sekirei Plan; thinking that Minaka had purposefully set the system up so that Minato would end up with a majority of the top-level Sekirei.
* GenerationXerox: As shown by Miya, his ancestor was an ordinary human who had at least eight Sekirei in his harem (most of which strongly resembled the ones in his own harem), married them all, and had children with all of them to which he is a descendant of them. The epilogue shows he also marries everyone in his harem and will eventually have children with everyone (minus Kusano and Kagari) in his harem as well.
* GoodIsNotDumb: Once Matsu hammers into him how capable he is, he begins taking an active role in strategy and tricking the enemy.
* GoThroughMe: He shields his injured Sekirei from attackers on multiple occasions, refusing to back down even from the very real possibility of being squished like a bug.
* GrewASpine: He starts off as somewhat of a submissive wimp who only gets dragged into the mess with the Sekirei. His experiences and love for his Sekirei has allowed him to become a much stronger person, impressing Seo with his determination. He states it's his desire to become "someone worthy" of the faith everyone has in him.
* GuileHero: Thanks to Matsu, he's finally realizing how to best take advantage of his NonActionGuy status. He's managed to run a gambit on Higa, and came up with effective strategies to outsmart enemies.
* HaremSeeker: Unlike most examples he does this either to help them (which he ends up winging them) or because they choose to be with him because they love him. He effectively chooses the latter because of his love for everyone in his harem.
* HeroicBastard: His mother keeps refusing his father's requests to get legally married. While a bastard, Minato is one of the best people one could ever meet.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Due to his low confidence, though he's improving.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: He has a reputation as a DepravedBisexual among the Ashikabi community, due to his harem. People are ''shocked'' to learn the Ashikabi of the North is a pretty mild guy.
* HopeBringer: He's decided to become this, and it shows.
* HouseHusband: Handles all manner of household chores, and generally plays the supportive domestic to his Sekirei.
* HumbleHero: Despite all his accomplishments, he remains entirely modest and humble with all his achievements.
* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: All of Minato's Sekirei were already turned on from simply being around him due to their reactions to him, but even AFTER winging his Sekirei, most of them still get horny and want/find ways to get laid by him. They HORRIBLY fail thanks to Miya.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: He's generally heterosexual, yet he makes Kagari his sixth Sekirei while fully embracing Kagari's male identity and has no intention of changing his gender.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He experiences temptations, but his moral compass is strong enough that he rejects them.
* InsecureLoveInterest: He often worries that a NonActionGuy {{Ronin}} like him doesn't deserve a harem of hot {{Action Girlfriend}}s. In Sekirei 365 Days Without Her, Kazehana correctly guesses Minato feels inferior towards Minaka, his father, who was her FirstLove and he sees himself as her second choice. Even though Kazehana already thinks he's a great man, Minato promises Kazehana he will become a man even more amazing than his father so he can make her happy.
* TheJailBaitWait: Kuu is the only girl in his harem he shows no sexual attraction to because she's, well, [[TokenMiniMoe a child]] and he's no criminal pedophile. The author states Kuu is the only girl he won't have children with immediately after the ending of the series. He could get sexually involved with her when she's of age. As its strongly implied she will also bear children for him like the other girls as she had a dream where she's older and has a womanly figure like the other girls with Minato and Kusano romantic with each other like he is with the other girls. Given how dreams revolving around Minato and his girls usually come true, it's implied this will come true someday.
* JustTheWayYouAre: As Kagari's Ashikabi, Minato has the power to determine his gender and mentality, but chooses to let Kagari remain who he is for now.
* KarmicJackpot: He started out as a total loser unable to get accepted into college and lacking confidence in himself. After meeting Musubi and winging other Sekirei's, he gets to live at the Izumo Inn and labeled at the Ashikabi of the North, becomes feared for his group of powerful Sekirei's. Even more notable is that aside from finally ending the Sekirei Plan for good, he will get to live a happy life with all his Sekirei and live as a happy family with them all.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He's only told key info when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, he's kept in the dark. For example, he initially knows absolutely nothing about his father, unlike pretty much every single other character. When Higa accuses him of gaining so many powerful Sekirei because of his father, Minato is understandably confused.
* LoserProtagonist: Initially comes off as one, having failed his college entrance exam twice and being unemployed and all, but we come to learn that [[SubvertedTrope he was never one at all]]. He possesses a near genius level IQ and proves himself to be TheParagon time and time again.
* LustObject: Excluding Kusano who's too innocent to understand, and Homura who keeps his relationship with Minato cordial at best, everyone in the harem is very perverted for Minato and very eager to sleep with him, only to be thwarted by Miya with her threatening to kick them out if they do so (at least till the Sekirei Plan ends for good). Matsu and Kazehana take the cake, being the most perverted of the girls. Matsu loves to pounce on Minato and try to "experiment" on his body via sex, while Kazehana loves to show off her body and use her assest on him in any way possible, going as far as to proclaim she and Minato will engage in "something wet and sticky" after a kiss (which is her way of saying sex).
* MagneticHero: He has a way of bringing together other Ashikabi, who are inherently rivals due to the nature of the game.
* AManIsAlwaysEager: Subverted. He's generally more flustered and nervous about the idea of sex than most of his harem.
* MarryThemAll: His intention is to be with each of his Sekirei for the rest of his life. In the end, after Musubi returns, his wish comes true as he ended up marrying everyone in his Sekirei harem who he'd already married to under the Sekirei laws.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The feminine boy to his sister Yukari's masculine girl.
* MemeticMolester: While discussing over-the-top ideas about the major powers in the Game, a group of Ashikabi express their fear of being molested by the Ashikabi of the North. %%invoked
* MistakenForBadass: Due to various rumors around him, many characters believe him to be very strong and powerful due to being the Ashikabi of the North, unaware that he's very a plain and ordinary guy with six very powerful Sekirei.
* NiceGuy: A kindhearted, thoughtful, selfless, brave and understanding guy all around. His kindness is also the [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan is the primary]] reason all the girls (even Kagari who is a man) are attracted to him is because of his kind heart.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Nice to Higa's Mean and Mikogami's In-Between. Minato is the kindest and most compassionate of the three Ashikabi territory leaders. His Sekirei all chose him because of his good heart and he treats them all with the biggest love and care he can give them.
* NomDeMom: He has his mother's surname because she doesn't want to take Minaka's surname.
* NonActionGuy: He has no fighting ability, and spends most of the early series leaving the action to his Sekirei. Later on he graduates into being something of an ActionSurvivor, as while he still does almost no fighting on his own, he becomes much more active on the battlefield when supporting his Sekirei.
* NoseBleed: For appropriate comedic effect.
* NotSoWeak: Minato is often pushed around by his sister and mother, but stands up for his friends when it counts.
* TheParagon: Routinely shows himself to be devoted to helping others and inspiring them to improve themselves, regardless of who they are or if it means putting his life on the line.
* PerformanceAnxiety: He does not do well under pressure. When Matsu gives him a sample college entrance exam, he aces it entirely, causing her to wonder how the heck he failed it twice. She also mentions that the test she gave him was a lot harder than a normal exam as well. Once he learns to believe in himself, he grows out of this.
* PowerOfTrust: Considers himself unreliable, but inspires trust in others. His faith in others is almost always rewarded.
* ProperlyParanoid: When he went to Seo for help with the ordeal with Higi and Kuno, Minato correctly guessed he would try to make them pay him for his help. So he calls Miya before hand and forces him to help for free or else he won't get any more free meals at the Izumo Inn.
* {{Protectorate}}: All of his Sekirei have the main purpose of protecting him.
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom:
** Of all Sekirei he has, ironically, Kagari is the only one who punched him to the point he fainted for a while.
** Tsukiumi also did the same but using her water.
* TheRedBaron: "The Ashikabi of the North". In fitting with the others that control a territory, he's also sometimes called "Minato of the North".
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: Downplayed. At the start of the series, he seems like any other average {{Ronin}} protagonist. Later on, it's revealed he's actually an excellent student with top grades and is able to ace sample exams that are harder than regular ones. He's just bad at doing tests under pressure.
* {{Ronin}}: He has failed college entrance exams twice.
* RunningGag:
** Usually gets a nosebleed when he sees something naughty with his harem and nearly passes out from it.
** Prior to Miya enforcing where everyone would be sleeping, his Sekirei (which was Musubi, Kusano, Matsu and Tsukiumi at the time) all slept in his bed on top of him, which made him hard to sleep. Ironically, after Miya enforced sleeping rules, Minato finally slept by himself, begain to secretly miss sleeping with them all.
** Getting doused in water by Tsukiumi when she feels jealous
** Having to explain to Miya when he gets in an odd situation with one of the girls, which happens nearlly all the time.
* ScrewDestiny: Determined to do this, and earn a happy ending for ''all'' the Sekirei and their Ashikabi.
* SecondLove: In his harem, only Kazehana fell in love with a man before him and that man happened to be his father Minaka. After being coldy rejected by Minaka, Kazehana suffered a broken heart for the next 20 years and refused to either associate herself with any concepts of love or the Sekirei Plan, which is primarily why she was never winged. After meeting Minato, she noticed she was reacting to him, and decided to see if he could prove himself as a man. After seeing the love and dedication towards his Sekirei, she was moved by his actions and found Minato as the man of her dreams.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Seo and Kagari's Manly Men.
* SexualKarma: '''Big time.''' Aside from having a total of six Sekirei's, at least four are ''extremely'' beautiful and attractive woman, who are all powerful in their own right, have large breasts, and are all deeply in love with him and all desire to marry him and bear children with him.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: A few years after becoming the head of MBI's Sekieri Plan shows him occasionally wearing glasses and becomes much smarter.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "[[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday I'm happily hetero]]!" Unconvincingly said by Minato to Tsukiumi to try reassure her when she thinks he's cheating on her with Kagari.
* TellMeAboutMyFather: He attempted to ask about his father, but Takami understandably refuses, given his father is the BigBad.
* ThanksForTheMammary: Happens accidentally to him a few times (mostly Musubi, Matsu, Tsukiumi and Kazehana). It even happens to him with ''Kagari'' after the latter grows boobs.
* ThisLoserIsYou: He's a pretty average guy, right up until Musubi literally crashed into his life.
* TiredOfRunning: Rejects multiple chances to quit the Sekirei Plan and escape the city, and after [[spoiler: Uzume's termination]] makes the decision to fight with the intention of winning.
* UnbrokenVigil: After Homura passes out in the aftermath of his winging, he wakes up at Izumo Inn with Minato at his bedside.
* UnderstandingBoyfriend: He accepts all the flaws and imperfections about everyone in his harem, is there for them when they need him most, and spends time with each equally and never favors one over the other.
* UnevenHybrid: It's later revealed that like other Ashikabi, Minato's ancestors were Sekirei who married humans long ago.
* UnwantedHarem: Subverted; while at first Minato's reluctant and unwilling to take responsiblity, he eventually goes after four of his eventual [[spoiler: six]] Sekirei.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Both the giver and receiver of this trope, in particular when talking down a suicidal Kagari.
* YouAreNotAlone: A defining part of his interactions with others, especially as the series progresses and he becomes more confident.

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/musubi_1248.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyakoKawasumi (Drama CD), Creator/SaoriHayami (Anime) (JP), Creator/AlexisTipton (EN)

Minato's first Sekirei. She is somewhat dim-witted and clueless, but holds an incredible strength of will and compassion for others. A power-type Sekirei.

'''Ashikabi:''' Minato Sahashi
----
* AffectionateNickname: Karasuba calls her "Mu-chan".
* AllLovingHeroine: Musubi treats everyone with unending kindness and compassion, even the murderous Karasuba. Her goal is ultimately to win the Sekirei Plan, in order to teach Karasuba to believe in ThePowerOfLove and in order to free all the Sekirei so everyone can be happy.
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: She doesn't remember anything that happens around her when Yume is the one controlling the body.
* AmbiguouslyBi: She accidently kissed Matsu one morning, but wasn't really bothered by it. This never gets brought up again as she's clearly only interested in Minato.
* AnimalBattleAura: She occasionally manifests a bear aura behind her, which terrifies others.
* AnimalMotifs: She has a bear AnimalBattleAura and her special attacks are bear-themed.
* BadassAdorable: She's adorable, even when she's smashing buildings with her fists.
* BareFistedMonk: Unlike other Sekirei who have superpowers and/or use weapons, Musubi is a power-type whose only weapons are her fists and legs.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: She can block and break blades with her bare hands.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Her infatuation with Minato starts when they first met because he was kind to her, let her stay at his place (even if it later got them evicted) and fed her when she was hungry. Her love for him only grows from onward.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Musubi is one of the sweetest characters you'll ever meet, but is a force to be reckoned with when pushed if you hurt her loved ones.
* BigEater: The first time Minato feeds her, she leaves him broke.
* BoobsOfSteel: A power-type Sekirei with super strength, and a big deal is made of her enormous chest.
* BuxomIsBetter: Musubi is compared to (and considered sexier) than [[TheLoad Kuno]] because of her big boobs. She's also one of the bustiest girls in Minato's harem, second only to [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure Kazehana]].
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''By the fists of my contract, my Ashikabi's perils will be shattered.''
* CatSmile: She does this on occasion, in particular with Kusano.
* ClingyJealousGirl: A very subtle example. When someone else in the harem (usually Tsukiumi) is getting more attention from Minato than her, Musubi doesn't hit anyone and keeps smiling like usual yet the bear aura behind her makes her true feelings clear.
* CloseRangeCombatant: She is a close-combat fighter with amazing strength.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her train of thought can get weird at times.
* CovertPervert: Though Matsu is more obvious about it, ''Musubi'' might actually be the most perverted of Minato's Sekirei; [[LesYay she kisses Matsu without batting an eye, likes having her breasts fondled by Yukari, enjoys groping Tsukiumi]], gets off on being BoundAndGagged by Karasuba...
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She's a total moron half the time, but in a battle she's ''not'' to be underestimated and has grown to the point she can hold her own against the Disciplinary Squad members.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair to go with her brown eyes.
* CuteBruiser: Cute as a button with BoobsOfSteel and a tendency to solve problems by smashing them with her fists.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Her standard outfit has a pink mini skirt and she's a power-type Sekirei specialized in martial arts.
* {{Determinator}}: Musubi is the biggest representation of determination and willpower in the series.
* TheDitz: She's not the brightest Sekirei around.
* DueToTheDead: Musubi is shown to take ''very seriously'' the rule about guarding a terminated Sekirei until they can be retrieved by MBI.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Upon Tsukiumi's entering the harem while declaring herself as Minato's true wife, Musubi claims she has no right to call herself that since she's as much as his wife as her. Granted, Musubi has no real idea what she's talking about, but she is right since Tsukiumi ''just'' joined the group and has no right to proclaim herself as his wife when she barely knows anything about Minato.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: After spending a year as the core after facing #00, she returns home and thanks to her efforts, all the terminated Sekirei are revived as she wanted and are free to live the lives they want as opposed to be forced to. She reunites with Minato and will live her life with him as one of his wives back at the Izumo Inn with everyone else.]]
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: While she's pretty naive, when it comes to Karasuba, Musubi reveals she's not once been fooled by her and has known all this time how evil she really is, but shares Yume's desire to teach Karasuba the error of her ways, even describing her as a child that just doesn't understand a Sekirei's true nature and purpose.
* ExpressiveHair: Her IdiotHair tends to react depending on her emotions.
* FirstKiss: She's the first person in Minato's life who ever gives him his first kiss.
* FingerlessGloves: She wears fingerless gloves with extra padding to protect her knuckles.
* FriendlyRivalry:
** With Tsukiumi. They both compete in competitions to sit next to Minato for dinner or to declare themselves as his official wife. It becomes friendlier after Musubi was almost terminated that Tsukiumi starts caring for her more. After Musubi's disappearance for a year, Tsukiumi, despite wanting to win, respectfully waits until Musubi returns to start up their rivalry again.
** She insists her friendship with Kaho is ''really strong'', partially because they promised to fight next time they met. HilarityEnsues when they meet pre-battle, and are forced to hide from each other to avoid breaking their promise.
* GiantWaistRibbon: She wears an obi belt with a big ribbon at the back.
* GirlyBruiser: She's very girly, bubbly, and a power-type Sekirei with powerful fists.
* HaremPowered: [[spoiler: In chapter 177, she temporarily assimilates the Sekirei core of the rest of Minato's harem, and their powers, in order to revive Minato and take on #00.]]
* TheHeroine: She drives the story with her personal quest to free all Sekirei.
* IdiotHair: She has a long and prominent strand of hair sticking up atop her hair, showing her innocence.
* IdiotHero: The dumbest of Minato's Sekirei, but has her moments of intelligence.
* ImmuneToBullets: She found being shot, and hit, by machine guns near the end of the fourth stage "annoying."
* TheIngenue: She's naive and pure like a child. Sexual innuendos can't get through to her.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Because she lacks any common sense about modesty, for most of the series Musubi has no problems undressing or appearing in front of Minato naked. She only tries covering her breasts because Minato asks her to. She gets better over time.
* KamehameHadoken: Her ultimate move named Kuma no Te (Bear Palm) lets her unleash a light blast shaped like a bear paw from her core. Karasuba says it's a technique she inherited from Yume.
* KindheartedSimpleton: Though the least intelligent of Minato's Sekirei, she's easily the nicest, and the only one who respects his boundaries and/or isn't [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale comically abusive]] towards him.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: She's the sweet-tempered, naïve, and cheerful Light Feminine contrasting the imposing, aloof, and haughty Tsukiumi.
* LimitBreak: Kuma Ryusei (Bear Meteor).
* LoveAtFirstSight: She fell for Minato the first moment they met.
* MagneticGirlfriend: Winging her unlocked Minato's potential, allowing him to slowly attract all the others in his harem.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: To a degree. She literally falls out of the sky into Minato's life and ends up kicking off an adventure that makes him a more confident person. However, while she's quirky, she herself is only as responsible for Minato's CharacterDevelopment as any other Sekirei is.
* MeaningfulName: Musubi's name is spelled with this kanji 結, which can mean something like "to bind" or "contract".
* MegatonPunch: One of her signature moves.
* MoralityPet: Karasuba is in relatively friendly terms with Musubi considering Karasuba only wants to slice up any other Sekirei. [[spoiler:Subverted in that Karasuba doesn't give a damn about Musubi herself; she only sees her as the vessel of her old partner Yume.]]
* MsFanservice: Just her casual outfit is enough to show how beautiful she is, and that doesn't take into account she has the 2nd largest bust out of all the Sekirei in the series.
* NiceGirl: Not only is she nice to her beloved Minato, but to everyone. Even to her love rivals. In fact, she never gets angry with Minato. Not even once.
* OneNoteCook: She's good at making curry. And.....more curry.
* PerpetualSmiler: She almost never stops smiling, even when she's mad or jealous.
* PluckyGirl: Perky, sweet, and ''never'' one to give up.
* ThePollyanna: Optimistic, and full of hope even in the direst of circumstances.
* ThePromise: She promised Yume she would defeat Karasuba and free all the defeated Sekirei, as well as promising Karasuba that they would be the final two Sekirei, and promising Kaho they would fight the next time they met.
* SharingABody: Yume continues to exist within her soul, and sometimes takes control. [[spoiler:After Musubi makes her Sekirei declaration to Minato, Yume's soul disappears from the core.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: She's more than willing to help Haruka and Kuno escape the capital due to their love for each other. The same can be said about whenever Minato gets another Sekirei, however unlike Tsukiumi, Musubi seems to encourage him on the grounds that she considers this to be more of Minato getting another family member rather than love rival.
* ShortHairWithTail: Her style is essentially a chin-length bob with a long ponytail.
* SpiritedCompetitor: She loves to take on strong opponents.
* SuperStrength: Her primary ability as a Sekirei.
* ThirdPersonPerson: She refers to herself in third person, showing her ditzy personality.
* TookALevelInBadass: She went from barely being able to handle herself against the Disciplinary Squad to the point she can face Miya, the Sekirei Queen, in a one-on-one fight and emerge victorious. By the end of the series, she's considered one of the most powerful Sekirei out there.
* YouAreNumberSix: #88

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kusano_5692.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukariTamura (Drama CD), Creator/KanaHanazawa (Anime) (JP), Creator/TiaBallard (EN)

Minato's second Sekirei, who considers him her "big brother" and future husband. The youngest of the Sekirei, she is a cheerful and innocent girl with the power to control plants. She was forced out into the world early, after Mikogami attempted to capture her and used her powers to build a forest to protect her. Dubbed the "Green Girl", she called out to Minato in dreams until he was able to rescue her.

'''Ashikabi:''' Minato Sahashi
----
* AffectionateNickname: "Kuu-chan"
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She's the youngest and most innocent of the girls. Everyone in the harem looks after Kuu like she was the cute little sister in their family. Kuu gets annoyed that everyone in Izumo Inn tells her she's too young to participate in many activities around the house.
* BabySeeBabyDo: She often mimics the mannerisms of the older harem members, usually Tsukiumi.
* BadassAdorable: The cutest around, and far more of a badass than people would expect.
* BigBrotherAttraction: Towards Minato who she sees as an older sibling ''and'' her future husband.
* BigBrotherWorship: She worships the ground Minato walks on and clings to him like white on rice.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''Life of my Pledge, Shine on my Ashikabi.''
* CatSmile: She often does this in conjunction with Musubi.
* CheerfulChild: She's a sweet little girl with a constantly sunny disposition.
* ClingyJealousGirl: After Tsukiumi starts mentioning being Minato's "true wife", Kuu starts clinging to his arm a lot more. Later, she starts imitating Tsukiumi's "jealous wife" behavior when Tsukiumi accuses Minato of being unfaithful.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: She tends to dress up in some of Uzume's costumes. This only adds to her cuteness.
* TheCutie: She's an absolutely adorable child anyone would love to hug.
* DirtyKid: Minato worries that some of Matsu's perversion has rubbed off the little Kuu, seeing how eager she is to kiss Minato for her Norito and the way she kisses him isn't fitting of a child at all.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: She's always barefoot. Although, she does wear sandals when going outside sometimes.
* EarthyBarefootCharacter: She walks around barefoot to show her close connection to nature due to her GreenThumb powers.
* ElementalEyeColors: She has green eyes and her power is controlling plants.
* ExpressiveHair: The tip of her hair takes the shape of a heart when she wants to kiss Minato for her Norito.
* FlowersOfNature: She has GreenThumb powers and sometimes wears sandals decorated by flowers.
* GirlOfMyDreams: Her first meetings with Minato were dreams.
* GreenThumb: Her power allows her to grow and control plants.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's a sweet and innocent child with long golden hair.
* IGotBigger: The epilogue has Minato commenting that Kusano is growing taller and more mature looking.
* IJustWantToBeBeautiful: She's absolutely adorable for her age, but Kusano is fully aware that she's just a child and this causes Minato to be unable to think of her as a lover unlike the rest of the harem. She has a dream about herself and Minato where she's an adult woman like the other girls in the harem, where she's taller and her figure is just as endowed as the other girls with Minato being romantic towards her like everyone else in the harem. However, it is implied this may be the case when she does reach adulthood.
* KindheartedCatLover: She adores kitties.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She shares a sibling-like bond with Shiina.
* LittleMissBadass: This cute little girl can hold her own in a Sekirei battle.
* LittleSisterHeroine. A non-blood related example. Kuu calls Minato her older brother and he treats her more like a little sister than a lover because of her young age, but she's still a member of his Sekirei harem and becomes one of his many wives later on.
* ManBitesMan: PlayedForLaughs; she's prone to biting Seo when [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend she thinks he might be bullying Minato]], but her bites are so harmless that Kuu only looks cute and funny while doing it.
* MeaningfulName: Kuu's means "Grass and fields".
* MysticalWaif: She was introduced as a mysterious Sekirei child who communicated with Minato through dreams and visions where she was crying and asking for his help. Because of her outstanding plant powers, she was targeted by Mikogami's group as he wanted to forcibly wing her, motivating Minato to protect her.
* NiceGirl: Her kindness rivals that of Musubi's.
* TheNicknamer: She has cute nicknames for everyone in Izumo Inn. "Onii-chan" for Minato, "Mu-chan" for Musubi, "Tsu-chan" for Tsukiumi, "Ma-chan" for Matsu, "Fu-chan" for Kazehana, and "U-chan" for Uzume.
* PetitePride: Proudly asks Minato to look at her flat chest. He.....points out how ''wrong'' that is.
* PowersDoTheFighting: Although she can't actually fight due to being a child, she can grow giant plants to defend herself and immobilize people.
* PrecociousCrush: While she's the only child in the harem, Kuu loves the 19-year-old Minato just as much as the women closer to his age. She asks Minato on more than one occasion to marry her when she's older. While she technically becomes one of his wives, Minato clearly doesn't see her in a romantic light because that would make him a pedophile. Kuu deeply wishes she could grow up faster so Minato would treat her as a lover.
* ProneToTears: Because she's a little kid, she cries easily.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes down to the back of her knees.
* TheRedBaron: The Green Girl.
* SmarterThanYouLook: While the youngest and most naive of the girls, she's surprisingly more insightful than she looks. She actually was the one to call out Tsukiumi for not helping Minato with the ordeal about Haruka and Kuno claiming someone who claims herself as the legal wife has no right to address such a claim if she won't even help her so-called husband. She also is fully aware Minato doesn't see her as a woman but a kid or little sister due to her size and age, but is determined to change that when she's older.
* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:Kuu's Norito is possibly the most broken of the series because it has the power to revive terminated Sekirei as long as their core hasn't stopped functioning entirely. However, Matsu believes Kuu's power could become that great because of Minato's bonds with his Sekirei becoming so strong during the game, so Kuu probably wouldn't have been able to save Uzume at the time of the latter's termination. This helps justify why Kuu could only unleash her Norito's full potential during the final battle.]]
* TalkingToPlants: Able to communicate with plants, even over a distance. She was able to "ask" a tree to catch Minato, and learned from it about Shiina being released from the labs.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Tsukiumi. She coldly tells her off saying that she has no right to call herself Minato's wife if she won't even help him with the ordeal with Haruka and Kuno like the others. She then ups it further stating if she really loved Minato like she claims she'd help him no matter what. Tsukiumi was appalled that a child just lectured her, but in the end, admitted Kusano was right.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Because she's a small child, she calls herself "Kuu" instead of using a pronoun.
* TokenMiniMoe: She's a very young child in a harem of otherwise adult, voluptuous Sekirei.
* TokenWholesome: Due to being, y'know, [[TokenMiniMoe a kid]], she's the only one of Minato's Sekirei who always dresses conservatively and isn't sexualized.
* WhatTheHellHero: She angrily calls out Tsukiumi for refusing to help Minato with Haruka and Kuno's escape from the capital, stating she has no right to call herself his wife if she won't even help her so-call husband. Thankfully, after also being lectured by Matsu and Miya, Tsukiumi acknowledged Kusano was right.
* WorldHealingWave: [[spoiler:The power of her Norito is generating a massive wave of healing energy that can reactivate terminated Sekirei in the surrounding area, along making nature bloom.]]

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/matsu1_4309.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukiMatsuoka (Drama CD), Creator/AyaEndo (Anime) (JP), Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard (EN)

Minato's third Sekirei, a perverted technopath in hiding from MBI. She originally viewed Musubi as a rival, but quickly decides watching the others fight over Minato is more entertaining. As Sekirei #02, she knows many secrets about the Sekirei Plan and provides the others with information and tactical support from the safety of her room.

'''Ashikabi:''' Minato Sahashi
----
* TheAgeless: She appears about the same age as all the others, but she was an adult at a time when even Homura was still an infant. By the time the Sekirei plan has ended and she and the other Sekirei's are free from the plan, it's strongly implied she will age like normal.
* AmbiguouslyBi: It's heavily implied that Matsu is bisexual, having not even flinched when Musubi (accidentally) kisses her.
* BadassBookworm: As an "intellect"-type Sekirei, she makes use of things such as a KillSat and various gadgets when forced to deal with enemies. And as Miya points out, she's actually one of Minato's most ruthless Sekirei when necessary, and considering how she can hack the MBI satellites and destroy a portion of the city if she chooses, it is no wonder she was on the Disciplinary Squad.
* BikerBabe: She rides a bike in the anime and can kick major ass as well.
* BrutalHonesty: She ''unloads'' on Minato when they first met about his shortcomings and how he's failed the entrance exam in college twice.
* ButtMonkey: Out of all the girls in the harem, Matsu is this, primarily towards Miya for when her perverted behavior gets out of control or with Homura when she annoys him about his condition, to which he replies by burning her to the point her hair looks like an afro.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''Wisdom of my Pledge, Bestow the Teachings of the World to my Ashikabi!''
* CleavageWindow: Her dress has a diamond-shaped opening showing off her cleavage.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She was mad at seeing Musubi get so close to Minato prior to being winged by him. She then tries to blast Musubi with satellite lasers. This gets downplayed later, as she loves seeing his harem get clingy with him, but that won't stop her from doing the same in private.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Auburn eyes to match her hair.
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: Even she is freaked out by the massively destructive power she gains by hacking control over [[spoiler:Kouten and briefly stealing it from Miya]]. She fires a laser beam all the way to ''space'' when ordering the device to take down some helicopters. She then changes the order to "gently" blowing the helicopters away instead.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: She's often trying to jump Minato, which is played for comedy.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: When the others learn she was on the original Disciplinary Squad twenty years ago, Minato and the others (except Kazehana who was her squadmate) find it hard to believe this to be true, making Matsu upset stating she's strong just like the others in her own way.
* TheGadfly: She just ''loves'' to mess with others.
* GadgeteerGenius: Her various inventions come in handy, from tracking devices to hidden radios to net-launchers.
* GoodBadGirl: While a total pervert, she's a sweet and kind person at heart.
* GreenEyedEpiphany: After realizing her jealousy when Musubi was so close with Minato, Matsu realizes she's reacted to him and is in love with him as well. This led her to willingly allow herself to become winged by him.
* GuyOnGuyIsHot: She's ''very'' curious to know how Mutsu ended up with a teenage boy as his Ashikabi and gets excited when she hears they're going to kiss to activate Mutsu's Norito.
* HackerCave: Her bedroom is full of computers screens that let her watch several parts of the city through the satellites she hacks.
* HandHidingSleeves: Her sleeves usually cover her hands, only showing her fingertips sometimes.
* {{Hikikomori}}: She's forced to be one by circumstance instead of choice. She's in the wanted list of MBI, so she never steps outside the Izumo Inn and stays hidden inside her secret room.
* HotScientist: Like all Sekirei, she's extremely attractive and one of the smartest characters in series.
* InSeriesNickname: Perverted Glasses (Miya), The Pervert (Mutsu)
* ItAmusedMe: She loves seeing Minato's harem mold into a soap opera drama, to which she lets the chaos unfold for her amusement.
* LovableSexManiac: While a complete pervert, people genuinely like her anyway.
* MaleGaze: She has a noticeable large butt that she tends to show off quite often.
* MissionControl: While she seems capable of holding her own in a (non-melee) fight, she prefers not leaving Izumo Inn so MBI can't catch her. She mostly sticks to monitoring the harem's battles from the computer screens in her bedroom.
* MsExposition: She's the one Minato turns to, whenever he needs information. As such, she's the major source for info-dumps in the series.
* MsFanservice: Her usual outfit shows off a lot of legs and a good portion of her breasts in the middle. Her glasses up her beauty. When sleeping with Minato she has the most provocative sleeping wear with a fancy nightgown that shows most of her legs and underwear even her breasts when sleeping.
* NakedFirstImpression: Minato meets her for the first time in the bath when she's wearing nothing but a bath towel...that falls off to see her completely naked and nearly get a nosebleed.
* TheNicknamer: She has a habit of addressing others with "tan" at the end of their names.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She appears as a woman in her twenties and looked exactly the same twenty years ago.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The moment Karasuba enters the fray, Matsu becomes terrified of her and drops her playful behavior and takes the situation very seriously.
* PlayfulHacker: Even when it isn't necessary, she likes to peek in on systems. Her powers actually allow her to monitor computer systems, though her own hacking skills are necessary to do anything beyond looking.
* ProperlyParanoid: She's often the one to plans ahead of certain events in the series just in case something were to happen to Minato, which actually plays off. Best shown that after the ordeal with the Disciplinary Squad she has one of the other girls tag along (which they count as a date) to keep him safe just in case someone comes along. This pays off as other Sekirei and Ashikabi visit them out of the blue wanting their help.
* {{Qipao}}: Her main outfit closely resembles this.
* RapunzelHair: She has long hair that goes past her butt.
* RunningGag:
** When she tries to mess with Homura, she gets blasted by his fire and given a fuzzy looking afro from her burnt hair.
** Everytime she tries to seduce Minato, Miya magically shows up and punishes her (and Minato) without a meal.
* SecretKeeper: She's the only one in the harem who knows about Kagari's SecretIdentity as the Sekirei Guardian Homura and also about the "special" conditions of his body. Because Kagari will burn her alive if she spills out any of his secrets, she holds it in until Kagari shares the truth himself.
* SexySpectacles: She's bespectacled hottie with a voluptuous figure.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She has no qualms showing off her naked body when she first met Minato or undressing to her underwear when he was doing laundry.
* ShesGotLegs: Her usual outfit shows off a lot of her legs in a slit on both sides.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She wears glasses to easily identify her as TheSmartGirl of the harem.
* StalkerWithACrush: When she reacted to Minato, she spied on him through her cameras and carefully researched all his biography before she sneaked into his bath.
* SuperPrototype: She's one of the first five single number Sekirei and her abilities are among the most powerful due to the special adjustments Takehito gave her.
* TheTease: Not to the same extent as Kazehana, but she really enjoys seeing the chaos unfold in Minato's harem and chooses engage in it privately.
* {{Technopath}}: She can access computers and satellites with her mind.
* ThirdPersonPerson: She refers to herself in third person.
* AThreesomeIsHot: She's very eager at the idea of having ThreeWaySex with Minato and Musubi at the same time.
* {{Troll}}: Rather than give Higa the data he needed, she gave him a digital image of herself with her giving the peace sign as payback for [[spoiler:getting Uzume terminated]].
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Matsu pulls a tracking device out of her cleavage during the hunt for Homura.

[[folder:Tsukiumi #09]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsukiumi_4364.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieTanaka (Drama CD), Creator/MarinaInoue (Anime) (JP), Creator/LydiaMackay (EN)

Minato's fourth Sekirei, a proud and bad-tempered woman with control over water. She is the youngest Single Number, and initially holds a deep contempt for Ashikabi to the extent she planned to kill Minato. After he defends her, though, she is deeply moved and agrees to become his wife -- considering the other Sekirei his "concubines". She fights constantly with the others for Minato's affection, but also cares deeply for them and considers them her comrades.

'''Ashikabi:''' Minato Sahashi
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her usual outfit shows off the most amount of breasts out of all the woman in Minato's harem.
* AlwaysSecondBest: A RunningGag for her is her rivalry with Musubi is that no matter how hard she tries, Tsukiumi almost always loses to Musubi at almost everything. Whether it be their shopping races, sitting next to Minato at dinner, being intamite with him, or even in the size of their breasts.
* AnimalMotifs: Snakes, both in terms of her ExpressiveHair and snake-themed attacks.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: She speaks in ancient Japanese, such as using the archaic "warawa" to refer to herself.
* BadassArmFold: She keeps her arms folded when she's acting tough.
* BadassLongcoat: Black with red lining, and often used for dramatic shots.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''This is the water of my pledge, purify the evil residing in my Ashikabi.''
* ClingyJealousGirl: She is the only one in Minato's harem who isn't ok with him having so many Sekirei vying for both his attention and desire to be his wife. Although, she would begrudgingly accept Minato having concubines as long as she gets to be the TopWife. Over time, she comes to (reluctantly) accept all the harem loves him and wish to be with him forever as a family.
* CombatStilettos: She's amazingly agile in those high-heeled boots.
* ContraltoOfDanger: She has the lowest voice out of the harem and is one of the most prominent fighters.
* CoolBigSis: She seems to have formed this dynamic with Kusano, who seems to have picked up on some of her habits.
* CovertPervert: She isn't sexually aggressive like Matsu and Kazehana, but she allows Minato to stare at her body or place his hand on her chest in an effort to entice him.
* CryCute: She's such a haughty {{Tsundere}} that seeing her shedding tears is especially moving.
* CuteLittleFangs: Her canine fangs stick out when she's angry.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Her underdress is so short that she occasionally [[PantyShot flashes her panties]] to the extent others comment on it.
* DefrostingIceQueen: When she first reacted, she immediately hated Minato and wanted to kill him because she refused to let herself be winged by ''any'' of the humans she looks down on as monkeys. After Minato defends her from Seo and calls her his Sekirei, Tsukiumi joins his harem without protest. Learning to care about Minato and the rest of the harem makes her less cold over time.
* DoesNotLikeMen: As vouched by Matsu, Tsukiumi is a notorious man-hater. A large portion of that is due to Ashikabi's forcing Sekirei to be winged by them against their will. Minato is the only exception (and Homura to an extent) who Tsukiumi will never hate.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: While regularly PlayedForLaughs, she tends to let her temper get the better of her and attacks Minato with a large amount of water that looks like a serious attack. Though given he's just wet afterwards implies she's holding back and not seriously trying to hurt him. Gets played straight when she resorts to physical abuse, such as jumping on him or grabbing him by the collar when she thinks he's spending too much time with the others.
* ElementalEyeColors: Her eyes are blue to match her water element.
* ElementalWeapon: She can create a water sword.
* EmbarrassingNickname: She's called "Ms. Panty Flasher" because she's such a big PantyFighter and she hates it.
* EntitledToHaveYou: She started out as this due to thinking only she had the right to be Minato's legal wife. After Musubi was nearly terminated she moves past this and starts to care for the other girls in the harem.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** While she can be cold and a bit of a jerk at times, when she thought Minato forced Kusano to be his Sekirei (which many Ashikabis have done prior to meeting her), she was disgusted at the thought someone would do that to a small girl.
** Despite very much wanting to be Minato's only wife at the start she never tries to seriously harm or remove the others from the picture.
* ExpressiveHair: It tends to [[IncrediblyLamePun wave]] around like snakes whenever she's angry.
* FreudianExcuse: When she ran away from her modifier's house as a small child, some creep almost kidnapped her. This is the reason why she hated men until she met Minato.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Musubi. Despite their quarrels with each other, the two are actually like sisters with their various competitions to vie for Minato's affections. Both grow to care for one another to the point that Tsukiumi refuses to hit on Minato until after Musubi returns from Kouten.
* GiantPoofySleeves: Her black dress has puffs on the shoulders.
* GirlOfMyDreams: Minato first sees her in dreams where she threatened to kill him.
* GirlishPigtails: In several side-stories, she ties her hair into twintails, a common hairstyle for {{Tsundere}} girls like her.
* GoodIsNotNice: Not to the same extent as Homura, but Tsukiumi is the coldest of the girls in the harem who's not above using intimidation or violence to take down her enemies.
* GracefulLoser: Part of her character development is to accept losses when she knows she's been bested at something and take it in stride.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's a massive {{Tsundere}}, and can be blunt, cold and harsh, but deep down is a good and noble woman at heart who loves Minato unconditionally and cares for the rest of his Sekirei even if she considers them her rivals of love.
* HairIntakes: She has two intakes in her hair that look like cat ears.
* HairTriggerTemper: Quick to anger, and quicker to react with violence.
* HappilyAdopted: Tsukiumi was adopted by her modifier Miyajima who raised her like she was her own daughter. Tsukiumi is afraid of Miyajima because of how strict she was with her, but they care about each other like real mother and daughter.
* HonorBeforeReason: She sometimes gets so hung up on what is honorable, that she puts herself or others at a disadvantage.
* HotBlooded: She's the most passionate of the girls and can be very stubborn and driven at anything she does to win Minato's attention.
* {{Housewife}}: After the final battle, Tsukiumi is the one in the harem who is looking after the household chores of Izumo Inn and cooking for Minato and the others [[spoiler:because Miya is still ill from her link to Kouten being severed]].
* HypocriticalHumor: She constantly scolds Minato's other Sekirei for spending too much time alone with him or even to Minato himself yet she does this all the time while telling them off for easedropping. Pretty much everyone in the harem call her out on that.
* InSeriesNickname: Ms. Panty Flasher (Kazehana), Walking Tap (Miya), or when Miya's less charitable, "Water Ecstasy Girl."
* InconvenientAttraction: When she reacted to Minato, she was furious because she was disgusted by the mere idea of being winged by one of the Ashikabi she viewed as lowly apes and she was dead set at proving she could defeat all Sekirei without an Ashikabi. When she saw the NiceGuy Minato is, Tsukiumi quickly gives in to her reaction and accepts Minato as her future husband.
* ItsAllMyFault: When Musubi was terminated by Benitsubasa, Tsukiumi blamed it all on her knowing had she just helped Minato when he asked her, then maybe Musubi wouldn't have nearly died. Thankfully, Yume saved her.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's cold, blunt, and a huge {{Tsundere}} with Minato, but she's a noble and honest woman at heart who loves him dearly, and gradually grows to care greatly for the rest of the girls in his harem despite wanting him all to herself.
* JerkassRealization: After refusing to help Minato with the incident with Haruka and Kuno escape the capital, and arriving too late to see Musubi having been terminated by Benitsubasa, Tsukiumi, realizing her stubbornness and pride cost Musubi her life, she ''painfully'' accepts she is the real reason Musubi died while apologizing to her and Minato for not helping them when they really needed her. Thankfully, Musubi survives thanks to Yume being inside her, to which Tsukiumi vows to make up from the ordeal.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: She's dressed in a black dress with a white underdress, a choker on her neck, and long brown high-heeled boots with black stockings. While this looks like the get-up for a ball, she instead wears it for the battlefield.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: She's the imposing, aloof, and haughty Dark Feminine contrasting the sweet-tempered, naïve, and cheerful Musubi.
* LimitBreak: Shiomitsu Tama (High Tide Jewels).
* LongRangeFighter: Her fighting style focuses on long-ranged elemental attacks, rather than up-close-and-personal fighting. She avoids CripplingOverspecialization with [[ElementalWeapon Water Sword]], her only but powerful short-range attack.
* MakingASplash: Her particular power is water.
* MasterOfDelusion: Completely oblivious to the fact she'd been having breakfast with her rival for months. It took seeing him use his powers, remembering there's only one flame-type Sekirei, ''and'' Musubi pointing out their resemblance to make her realize that Kagari and Homura are the same person.
* MeaningfulName: Tsukiumi's name means "Moon Sea".
* MegatonPunch: Her water blasts pack enough kinetic force to send Minato flying, although she stops doing this later on.
* MsFanservice: As if her usual outfit wasn't enough, Tsukiumi likely would be the most attractive example of a {{Tsundere}} beauty. Minato himself thinks she's very cute when she drops her tough attitude.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Upon arriving too late to save Musubi from her fight with Benitsubasa, Tsukiumi realizes that her own pride and petty behavior cost the life of not only her rival in love, but a good friend made her feel terrible with herself and blame Musubi's death on her part. Thankfully, Yume saved her giving Tsukiumi a second chance.
* OfCorsetsSexy: She has a corset built into her coat, accentuating her breasts.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou:
** She promises Minato only she is allowed to kill him, as a ''romantic gesture''.
** She also has this sentiment towards Homura/Kagari, who she considers her rival she will not let die until the day she beats him.
* PerpetualFrowner: Her default expression is an angry frown. It's rare to see her smile.
* PluckyGirl: Brave, strong-willed, and eager for a challenge.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: She's a water-type Sekirei, but her HotBlooded {{Tsundere}} personality is closer to what one would expect of a fire-type.
* ProudWarriorRaceGirl: Often boasts that it is a Sekirei's duty and honor to fight.
* RapunzelHair: One of her most striking features, golden blonde and past her waist.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She's the only of the girls who seems to be against or embarrassed to dress immodestly believing it's shameless and not fitting for a warrior (which is odd given her usual outfit is quite revealing). She does break away from this at times if it will please Minato.
* RunningGag: Her panties tend to be flashed quite often, much to her embarrassment.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Her water attacks can take the form of mythological creatures like dragons and the {{Orochi}}.
* ShowgirlSkirt: She wears a black dress with a long skirt that splits at the front to display her legs.
* SoreLoser: A mix of GracefulLoser when she loses competitions with Musubi or other girls vying for Minato's attention.
* StockingFiller: She holds up her [[ZettaiRyouiki stockings]] with a pair of garters.
* SupremeChef: Her ability to cook ''greatly'' improves by the finale.
* TookALevelInKindness: She started off cold, arrogant and selfish. She refused to accept the rest of the girls as potential wife materials for Minato and believed she ''alone'' was the only one who deserved to be his wife. Musubi and Kusano call her out on that. After Musubi nearly dies from her pettiness, Tsukiumi finally learns to put others needs before herself and treat the other members of the group in a much friendlier and respectful manner. By the end of the series, she's taken her role as a wife much more seriously to the point she refused to vie for Minato's affection like usual until after Musubi returns from Kouten out of respect for her rival.
* TopWife: Subverted. She tries to claim the position of Minato's only true wife while writing off the rest of the harem as concubines. However, no one in the harem takes her claims seriously since they all consider themselves Minato's wives. Eventually, Tsukiumi more or less accepts everyone in the harem is equal, but she still competes with Musubi for Minato's attention.
* {{Tsundere}}: Harsh type. She's aloof, short-tempered, and extremely prideful to the point she ''threatens to kill Minato'' in their first meeting. After she falls for Minato, she shows more of her warmer and loving side although she never completely loses her abrasive nature.
* TsurimeEyes: To match her proud, aggressive personality.
* TwinkleSmile: Gets one in the anime after meeting Minato's first 3 Sekirei.
* UnbrokenVigil: After the first battle against the Disciplinary Squad, an injured Minato wakes up at the hospital with Tsukiumi sleeping at his bedside.
* UnknownRival: She calls Homura her ultimate rival who she wants to defeat more than any other Sekirei. Homura, for his part, is busy with other things like his job as the Sekirei Guardian and his issues with his unstable body so he doesn't really care about Tsukiumi's wish to fight him.
* WackyMarriageProposal: Once she accepts to be Minato's Sekirei, she claims him as her husband by [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou swearing that only she can kill him]].
* WaterIsWomanly: Tsukiumi is the most feminine among Minato's Sekirei, has a {{Tsundere}} personality, wears a black and white dress, and has water powers.
* WhenSheSmiles: When she drops her cold demeanor and smiles, its actually ''very'' cute and adorable of her. Minato himself notes she's very cute when she does that.
* WouldntHurtAChild: Despite fighting the other girls for Minato's affection, Kusano is the only person Tsukiumi will not fight nor harm in any way because she's just a child and doesn't have it in her to do any harm to her.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: She speaks this way in the Creator/FUNimation dub, as a {{Woolseyism}} way of translating her old-fashioned dialect for English-speaking audiences.

[[folder:Kazehana #03]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kazehana_3385.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Yukana}} (JP), Creator/StephanieYoung (EN, as Kelly [=McHalen=])

Minato's fifth Sekirei, a deeply romantic woman that has power over the wind. A shameless flirt, she drinks heavily and enjoys pushing the limits of the rules at Izumo Inn in terms of "indecent behavior". She challenges Minato to prove himself to her, and agrees to become his Sekirei when she witnesses the depth of his love for them. While rarely serious, she is a skilled fighter and one of the strongest Sekirei.

'''Ashikabi:''' Minato Sahashi
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her dress is slit down past her navel.
* TheAgeless: She looks only slightly older than the others, but has been an adult since Homura was an infant. Upon the end of Kouten and the Sekirei Plan along with all the Sekirei's being freed, it's strongly implied Kazehana will age normally now.
* TheAlcoholic: She's a heavy drinker, almost always at least a little buzzed. Her drinking habits are derived from having been rejected by the first man she loved Minaka. After falling in love with Minato, she still engages in drinking now primarily because she loves to do so.
* AlmostKiss: She does this prior to Haruka and Kuno trying to escape the capital with Minato but stops inches away from his face when he wakes up.
* BerserkButton: She states she only allows ''three'' people to talk down to her. Minato, #01, and the president of MBI.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's flirty, often drunk, and squeals about ThePowerOfLove in the middle of a serious situation. She's also one of the strongest Sekirei, with more combat experience than most put together.
* BigBreastPride: She has the largest breasts out of all of Minato's harem and the female cast and is proud of herself for that as she uses that to her advantage with Minato to please him.
* BlowYouAway: A powerful wind elemental.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's the most powerful Sekirei under Minato and has the largest bust of all the girls in the series.
* BuxomIsBetter: She's got the largest breasts of all the female characters and is the most sexualized out of all of Minato's Sekirei.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''By the forewinds of my contract, my Ashikabi's dark clouds will be blown away.''
* CherryBlossoms: These are the kinds of petals she summons with her powers.
* ClingyJealousGirl: While the least jealous of the girls, she has her moments, most notably whenever Tsukiumi gets on her nerves and tries to fight her. When Musubi (who had merged with Houken at the time) interrupts her attempt to (presumably) make love, she is more than willing to fight her even though said fight could level the entire northern area.
* CombatStilettos: Her heels don't look battle-ready, but she's amazingly agile in them.
* CoolBigSis: Minato correctly guesses that she feels this way towards most of the Sekirei, viewing herself as their big sister.
* CurbStompBattle: To demonstrate was a former member of the Disciplinary Squad is capable of, after Kazehana was winged by Minato, Benitsubasa and Haihane didn't even stand a chance against her once she got serious. She easily sent Benitsubasa and Haihane flying with her powers with just one move.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Black hair to go with her black eyes.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: The dress she wears just covers her thighs to the bare minimum that show her legs off to a fantastic degree.
* DramaticWind: Brings her own.
* DrowningMySorrows:
** She picked up her heavy drinking habits when she was suffering of a broken heart from being rejected by the first man she ever loved.
** After the final battle, [[spoiler:Miya's weak condition]] causes Kazehana to drink several times more cans of beer a day than before [[spoiler:because she's so bummed out that Miya can't yell at her for doing this]].
* EthicalSlut: Hinted to be one, readily encouraging others to follow their hearts regardless of social expectations/norms, and playfully scolding Minato for worrying about gender and sexuality when it comes to ~love~.
* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: Minaka's rejection was the reason why she refused to ever associate herself with romance ever again to the point she refused to let herself be winged until she's won over by Minato's kind heart.
* {{Foil}}: To Miya.
** They both suffered a broken heart from the loss of love (Kazehana was rejected by Minaka while Miya lost Takehito because he sacrificed himself to save everyone).
** They both were part of the Disciplinary Squad 20 years ago and while Kazehana is still a fighter, Miya retired after her husband's passing.
** Kazehana is a flirt who loves to drink and can be rather lazy and childish, Miya is reserved and mature who keeps others in check and even Kazehana.
** They both dress differently to represent their stark different behavior's. Kazehana dresses immodestly showing most of her body, while Miya wears a conservative kimono that makes her look mature and elegant.
** While the both of them suffer from a broken heart, Kazehana was able to move on finding a new love in Minato and desire to live with him and let him wing her, Miya is still in love with Takehito and never moved on from him and even now has never been winged.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Uzume. The two have fought many times, but neither really want to kill each other and engage in drinking buddies at times. [[spoiler:She was also left sad to see Uzume be terminated.]]
* GoodBadGirl: She's about as perverted and lustful as Matsu, being equally open about her sexual desires for Minato. She's still a good person like everyone else in the harem.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She loves to drink and party.
* HasAType: She initially wanted someone who's "manly", but in the end she defies this and wants a man who's just as manly as he is kind, which she found in Minato.
* HeadAndHipPose: She almost always has one of her hands behind her head. It's like her default pose.
* HotWind: Generates her own, almost constantly.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Since she was rejected by the first man she loved, Kazehana became depressed and sought to find love for herself and not just others. After meeting Minato and seeing the love and dedication he has for his Sekirei, she found him as a new love, to which she managed to melt her former feelings away from the MBI President and found new love in Minato, to which she managed to make peace with herself in her new love in Minato.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: Before the plan to escape the capital with Haruka and Kuno, Kazehana sees Minato sleeping and realizes her bodies reacting to him. The way her legs shake clearly shows how arrosed she was just being close to him.
* InSeriesNickname: Public Obscenity (Miya), The Drunk (Mutsu)
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: She wears a tight purple dress showing off a lot of her legs, and wears high heel pumps and can beat virtually anyone that dare stands in her way.
* LazyBum: When she isn't sleeping in and hung over, she's getting wasted.
* LimitBreak: Hana Senpu (Flower Whirlwind). During her fight with Kaie, her Norito attack is called Kamikaze (Flower Beauty Wind).
* LongRangeFighter: Her fighting style focuses entirely on long-ranged, wind-based attacks.
* LovableSexManiac: Kazehana has ''zero'' qualms in expressing her desires to make love to Minato or wearing any revealing outfit in his presence (courtasy of Uzume's collection of clothes).
* LoveFatherLoveSon: She first fell in love with Minaka, Minato's father. When she meets Minato, she's immediately attracted to him due to seeing how he looks similar to Minaka and becomes Minato's Sekirei soon after that.
* LoveFreak: She's known for acting all giddy and silly when love is brought up or hearing about romance. Best shwon when Haruko and Kuno explain how they first met, Kazehana went on a rant over how precious there love was to the point her face becomes very goofy looking. She's prone to interrupting serious moments by squealing about how wonderful ~love~ is.
* MadeOfIron: The amount of alchohol she's drank in the last 20 years would have killed an ordinary person. Played straight in an actual fight. As out of all the girls in the harem she's capable of taking the most amount of damage and keep fighting without it affecting her. Best shown during the fight against one of Higa's strongest Sekirei Kaie, the two deal a lot of damage and clash with their most powerful techniques and Kazehana emerges with serious wounds and just casually walks it off like nothing after defeating her opponent.
* MarryForLove: A ''firm'' believer in this trope. As when Haruka and Kuno wanted to elope and escape the capital from the Sekirei Plan, Kazehana whole-heartedly supported their desire to be with each other. It's also largely the reason why she never got winged until she met Minato as she refused to do so until she met someone she loved with all her heart, and once she was touched by his kind heart, she desires to be one of his wives along with the other girls.
* MeaningfulName: Kazehana means "Wind Flower".
* MinidressOfPower: Her cheongsam just covers the bare minimum of her thighs.
* MsFanservice: Obvious from the work.
* MundaneUtility: She uses her wind powers to lighten the weight of the shopping bags from the grocery store she carries so she can more easily win a race against Tsukiumi.
* NakedApron: Tried this on Minato once. Miya was not pleased (Minato however, was).
* NakedFirstImpression: Minato first meets her the morning after she (along with Uzume) walked into Minato's room naked after drinking too much.
* NavelWindow: She wears a cheongsam with a diamond-shaped cutout around her navel.
* NiceGirl: She's a shameless flirt who loves to drink and can be rather lazy, but she's a total sweetheart who thinks the world of others close to her.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks like she's in her mid to late twenties, but she's one of the oldest Sekirei and was already an adult twenty years ago.
* OneWomanArmy: As a member of the Disciplinary Squad, she effortlessly destroyed an entire squad of helicopters.
* PersonalityPowers: She's a wind-type Sekirei with a free-spirited, cheerful, and carefree personality.
* PetalPower: She can generate whirlwinds of flower petals.
* PiningAfterProtagonistsParent: She was turned down by her first love Minaka because he already had Takami. She didn't get over him until twenty years later when she meets Minaka's son Minato and reacts to him because of his physical similarities to his father.
* ProudBeauty: She loves to sexualize her appearance not just to flaunt her beauty, but to turn her beloved Minato on and to please him in any way.
* PurpleIsPowerful: She wears a skin tight purple dress and has dark purple hair. She's also one of the most powerful Sekirei in the series.
* RapunzelHair: She has dark purple hair that reaches past her butt.
* SadClown: Underneath her HardDrinkingPartyGirl exterior, she's suffering from having her heart broken by the man she loved. Minato becomes her SecondLove, helping her to recover from her past heartbreak.
* SecretKeeper: She knows Uzume is the Veiled Sekirei, but doesn't reveal her identity out of admiration for Uzume's devotion to her Ashikabi.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: During the ordeal with Haruka and Kuno's escape, she stood on the sidelines from afar wanting to see him prove how "manly" he is. After seeing Musubi's termination, she witnessed his sorrow and grief over her death, resulting in her feeling pain herself over his broken heart. After Musubi's return thanks to Yume, Kazehana considered Minato worthy of being called a man after seeing his actions. This was more than enough to have her choice in being his Sekirei.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She has no qualms in dressing in revealing (or even naked) appearances around Minato to please him and loves to dress up in Uzume's outfits to entice him, much to Miya and Homura's annoyance.
* ShesGotLegs: Her usual outfit shows her legs ''to the bare minimum'', and are shown to be very trim and slender out of all the girls in the harem.
* ShipperOnDeck: She was completely supportive of Haruka and Kuno being in love with each other and assisted the two in escaping.
* SmarterThanYouLook: She was on the Disciplinary Squad for a reason. Despite her flirty behavior, Kazehana is very perceptive when she wants to be. She could tell when Uzume was acting out due to her distant behavior and correctly deduced she tried to terminate her when her back was turned on her when changing clothes.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's quite tall (standing around 5'7 to 5'8) and just an inch or two under Minato, and arguably the tallest of the girls.
* SuperPrototype: She's one of the first five models in the Sekirei series and also one of the most powerful due to the special adjustments Takehito gave her.
* TheTease: She ''loves'' to tease everyone. No one is safe, except for Miya. For example, she has no problems letting Minato patch her up when she was injured in a fight to the point she ''willingly'' places his hand on her bare breasts when he was putting ointment on her (and only stopped because Miya threatened to kick her out).
* {{Underboobs}}: Her dress has a cutout at the front that reveals the underside of her breasts.
* WalkingTheEarth: Claims to have done this for a while, but admits it turned into a national Sake taste-testing tour.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: For a while, Musubi and Tsukiumi questioned what exactly Kazehana saw in Minaka. Kazehana, however, based by her speech about him in the past, suggests he may not have been such a bad person in the past prior to becoming TheChessmaster he is now. She never shows interest in him again after falling for Minato.
* WorthyOpponent: She considers Kaie to be one having fought her multiple times. Miya especially given Kazehana openly states she is the only Sekirei she considers above her in terms of strength.
* YouAreNumberSix: #03

[[folder:Homura #06/Kagari]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/homura-kagari_9733.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiromiHirata (Drama CD), Creator/YukiKaida (Anime) (JP), Creator/LeahClark (EN)

Minato's sixth Sekirei. One of the residents of Izumo Inn, he goes by the alias of "Kagari" and works at a HostClub while concealing his identity as a Sekirei. He also serves as the Sekirei Guardian and wields power over flames, protecting unemerged Sekirei from harassment by humans or attacks by other Sekirei. Stated to be a prototype, his powers are extremely unstable and he has no fixed sex, though he identifies as male. Over time, his body begins to change sex in reaction to Minato and in despair, he attempts to either kill Minaka or himself. After being talked down by Minato and be emerged, he comes to accept himself.

'''Ashikabi:''' Minato Sahashi
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Once he's emerged, he starts wandering around with his shirt unbuttoned very low. An omake features Minato worrying about how Kagari doesn't seem to realize it, and he's not sure where he's supposed to [[MaleGaze look]] anymore.
* AloofAlly: Before becoming Minato's sixth Sekirei, Homura liked playing the role of a mysterious ally helping the main group from the shadows.
* AttractiveBentGender: Homura is introduced as a very handsome young man, but after beginning to react to Minato he starts to turn into a woman. He's still really attractive in his new feminine form.
* BadassLongcoat: He wears a black longcoat as the Sekirei Guardian.
* BigDamnHeroes: He is this to unemerged sekirei he saved.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''These are the flames of my pledge, burn the Karma of my Ashikabi.''
* CannotSpitItOut: He's unable to confess his feelings for Minato. [[spoiler: Until the second chapter of Sekirei: 365 Days Without Her.]]
* TheCasanova: Before reacting to Minato.
* ChickMagnet: The most popular Host at his club. When he isn't feeling well, he gets one call after another of women who wanted a date with him.
* CompensatedDating: Shown going on one with Takami, in order to make up for the time he took off to protect Kusano.
* CrazyJealousGuy: ''Very'' {{downplayed|trope}}. Homura is by far the least openly jealous member of Minato's harem, but he can't deny it does make him uncomfortable to see women all over his Ashikabi. He readily blames Tsukiumi for "infecting" him.
* DefrostingIceKing: He starts as the most aloof member of the harem and refuses so strongly to accept Minato as his Ashikabi that Minato has to more or less wing him against his will to save Homura from being killed by his own flames. Some time later, Homura realizes he has long stopped hating Minato and is falling as hard as the girls for him, but still doesn't show it openly. By the end of the series, Homura has fully accepted his love for Minato and no longer tries to deny or hide it around him and becomes more open with him than before.
* DontYouDarePityMe: When Minato asks Homura to become his Sekirei, Homura writes him off as one of those shallow Ashikabi who only care to have as many Sekirei as possible and accuses Minato of stopping Homura's suicide attempt out of pity for a "broken" Sekirei who has no control over his physical sex and powers. Minato responds by insisting it isn't pity; he and his other Sekirei want to help Homura because he's their precious friend and they all genuinely care about him.
* EffeminateVoice: Homura is an androgynous-looking Sekirei with an unstable physical sex that adjusts according to the sexuality of Homura's Ashikabi, but Homura firmly self-identifies as male. In all languages, even before developing female characteristics, Homura is voiced by a woman doing a somewhat boyish voice.
* ElementalEyeColors: He's the only known fire-type Sekirei and his eyes are red-brown to show this.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He can be a bit of a jerk himself, but Homura is disgusted when Ashikabi's force Sekirei's to be winged rather of their own free will. It's for that why he acts out to protect Sekirei's who are not winged yet.
* ExpositoryPronoun: He uses "boku" as a first-person pronoun, which is expected from young, unassuming men.
* FalseReassurance: Homura's infamous "This doesn't interest me at all" line.
* FieryStoic: He's the only Sekirei with fire powers, yet he's generally the most cool-headed and collected of Minato's harem. He's still warm-hearted and displays {{Tsundere}} tendencies for some time when he's still conflicted by feeling attracted to another man.
* FlawedPrototype: Homura is considered a "defective" Sekirei prototype because his powers and physical sex could never be made completely stable no matter the modifications the MBI scientists did to his body.
* {{Gayngst}}: He goes through a ''lot'' of emotional problems after he starts reacting to Minato. These only become worse as his body begins to become female as a result of them.
* GayOption: The only male in Minato's harem. While he begins developing female characteristics after reacting to Minato, he continues to identify as male, and his relationship with Minato is for all intents and purposes treated as being between two men. The girls are madly jealous that Homura is the only one who can sleep in the same room as Minato without Miya getting angry because both are guys.
* GenderBender: Once he began to react to Minato's presence, Homura's body became like that of a female's while retaining his male mind. However, it's heavily implied that the transformation wasn't completed and he retains a certain significant male part.
* GenderBenderAngst: Homura is a Sekirei with a unique trait of his physical sex automatically adjusting itself to the preferences of Homura's Ashikabi. He has a male body by default, after reacting to Minato who is a heterosexual man, Homura's body starts changing to resemble a woman's including growing breasts. Homura hates his own body for being this way, calling it ugly and proof that he's "broken." After Minato wings him, Homura is resigned to Minato turning him into a woman in mind and body, but Minato refuses to force that on Homura and lets Homura stay the way he is.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While Homura is honestly a good man, he's arguably the most ruthless and violent out of all of Minato's group and won't shy away from using force or even murder to solve a solution (especially with Minaka).
* GreenEyedEpiphany: After being winged, he's still in denial about having feelings for Minato until he keeps getting "uncomfortable" when he sees the girls of the harem hugging or kissing Minato.
* {{Hermaphrodite}}: Implied. Ever since he began to react to Minato, Homura has gained a feminine body structure and breasts, but he compares himself to a slug (an animal with both sexual organs), and implies that while his overall appearance is female, he still has certain male parts intact.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He scolded Tsukiumi for not getting winged by an Ashikabi stating she would eventually need to and should swallow her pride, yet he would refuse to be winged by an Ashikabi out of his own pride. Tsukiumi ''rightfully'' calls him out on his hypocrisy.
* HypocriteHasAPoint: As hypocritical as Homura was behaving towards Tsukiumi about finding an Ashikabi, he still was right to point out she would need to get winged eventually due to the danger she posed. This would be proven true during her fight with Hikari and Hibiki where she would have fallen had Minato winged her.
* HypocrisyNod: See AbsoluteCleavage above, in the same omake Homura scolded Kazehana for wandering around only in a bathrobe and exposing a good portion of her chest. In case of Kazehana however, her everyday outfit expose as much so it's a wonder why Homura is bothered by her lack of modesty. Homura himself as mentioned above starts buttoning his shirt very low since he became Minato's sixth sekirei. Lampshaded by Minato, the lack of modesty also applies to Homura but for some reason he didn't notice. It's ironic, considering that, even before his winging, Homura was one of the characters most prone to pointing out the other Sekireis' lack of modesty.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: He wanted to have a female Ashikabi, but ended up reacting to Minato, a man. Homura isn't happy about it and acts quite {{Tsundere}} to Minato, but is slowly accepting his feelings for him.
* IncompatibleOrientation: A more complicated case than the usual. Since Minato is heterosexual, Homura [[GenderBender began to turn into a woman]] after reacting to him.
* InterruptedSuicide: Refusing to be a trophy in Minaka's "game," Homura attempts to commit suicide through self-immolation. Minato and his Sekireis arrive just in time to stop him and Minato initiated his emergence, saving Homura's life.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's cold and can be quite rude at times, but is a good-hearted man who serves as a guardian of all Sekirei's due to his desire to see them be free.
* LadykillerInLove: He's a very experienced and popular host at a nightclub. He got intimate with many women while trying to find a female Ashikabi, but his body ultimately only reacted to Minato. After the Sekirei Plan is over, Homura doesn't return to working as a host because he already has Minato (and Homura's breasts would make the job awkward).
* LastNameBasis: Homura still uses Minato's family name, unlike his other Sekirei.
* LeaveMeAlone: Often throws this at Minato, when he tries to help.
* LimitBreak: Gouka no Tsubasa (Wings of Conflagration).
* LivingADoubleLife: He has two identities; the popular host of a night club Kagari and the mysterious protector of unwinged Sekirei Homura.
* MeaningfulName: Homura simply means "Flame". His alias of "Kagari" also counts, as it was purposefully chosen for its meaning, "Bonfire". He explains it as reflecting his wish to protect and guide unemerged Sekirei. Later, he admits this desire to protect and guide now applies to Minato.
* MysteriousProtector: Was this at first for wingless Sekirei at Takami's request.
* MysticalWhiteHair: A hint of his true nature, as a Sekirei and a rare elemental type.
* NavelWindow: He leaves the bottom of his shirt unbuttoned, creating a gap that exposes his navel.
* NervesOfSteel: He keeps his cool even in the direst of situations.
* TheOneGuy: He's the only male member in Minato's harem. Granted his body has breasts, but Homura always identifies as male.
* OnlySaneMan: He's the most mature and levelheaded member of Minato's harem. He never tries to seduce Minato nor joins the jealous antics of the girls, choosing to be more reserved about his feelings for him. This is why he's the only one in the inn who never gets scolded by Miya.
* PaperThinDisguise: Lampshaded by Homura himself that he only wears face mask, and is baffled that Tsukiumi didn't recognize him. To be fair, he didn't mean to use his Sekirei outfit to hide his identity at all, and most likely the face mask is simply a practical clothing due to his [[PlayingWithFire elemental power]].
* PlayingWithFire: His elemental ability is fire, and stated by Tsukiumi is completely unique among the Sekirei.
* PowerIncontinence: Over time, he has less and less control over his fire powers which leads to him burning himself just as much as his enemies. After he's winged by Minato, his flames become stable.
* SamaritanRelationshipStarter: Homura admits he always saw the worst in people and never believed anyone would really try to understand and empathize with others' suffering, which is why he could only think an Ashikabi would only try to wing him to add him to a shallow Sekirei collection or they just pitied him. Minato showed him he was different when he didn't hesitate to jump into his flames to stop his meltdown attempt and give him a much needed CooldownHug. For that reason, Homura pledges his loyalty to Minato as one of his Sekirei lovers.
* {{Seme}}: He has elements of this since he's a suave and cool {{Bishonen}} working as a host at a nightclub, eventually develops a conflicted attraction for a meek NonActionGuy and fights to protect him. Minato openly admits he likes and looks up to Homura for his manly and strong qualities.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Minato's Sensitive Guy, ironically. Despite Homura's body having female sexual characteristics, he's more confident, cool, and a powerful Sekirei in contrast to Minato who is a meek and insecure NonActionGuy.
* SexGod: Prior to being winged by Minato, Homura was quite a lover to several women in his quest to find a female Ashikabi. After accepting his feelings for Minato, he stops this.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Some of his fire attacks are shaped like snakes or dragons.
* SharpDressedMan: Always dressed in fashionable clothing, and Minato admires him for this.
* SmokingIsGlamorous: His smoking is typically portrayed as part of his allure.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: While he's very cool and distant, he's a good person who wants to protect others in trouble.
* TookALevelInKindness: After coming to terms with his sexuality, Homura has become friendlier and more relaxed.
* TransgenderFetishization: Homura identifies as male, but that doesn't stop the manga from showing the audience his breasts nearly as frequently as those of the actual girls.
* TransparentCloset: He fervently denies he has fallen for Minato, even though he blushes and thinks about his Ashikabi a lot. He readily places the blame on Tsukiumi for "infecting" him. None of his fellow Sekirei believes him, especially Tsukiumi who feels jealous towards him if he gets too close to Minato and call him cheating for using "we're both guys" as an excuse to offer Minato his room to rest when the others stole Minato's room.
* {{Tsundere}}: Harsh type, although a less abrasive one than Tsukiumi. He's having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the Ashikabi he reacted to is a man when he would have preferred a woman. Homura once loses himself to the reaction and tries to kiss Minato, only to snap out of it, punch Minato in the face and almost burn him alive. After Minato wings him, Homura still keeps his affection for him way more distant than the rest of the harem even though he's obviously just as loyal and protective towards Minato as the girls.
* WhichRestroomDilemma: There's a RunningGag where he can't decide whether to go in the male or female side of baths or changing rooms.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He has white hair, and while he's a very heroic person, he has a tendency to be blunt and cold towards others.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: When he can't control his fire powers anymore, Homura goes in a rant as he tells Minato how a "broken" Sekirei like him can't live by his own will when even his gender depends on his Ashikabi's choice and there was never any meaning to his life. Minato gives him a CooldownHug, reminding him all the good he has done for him, his Sekirei, and other Sekirei who wouldn't have found their Ashikabi without his protection. Minato proclaims that Homura is an invaluable friend to everyone in Izumo Inn and none of them wants to lose him.
* YouAreNumberSix: He's the Sekirei #06.

[[folder:Miya Asama]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/asama-miya_7934.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SayakaOhara (Japanese), Creator/MonicaRial (English)

The landlady of Maison Izumo. Her late husband was the head researcher of the Sekirei Plan, giving her considerable insight into its secrets. She is a skilled swordswoman, and offers training to help improve the skills of Minato's Sekirei.
----
* TheAgeless: [[spoiler:She hasn't aged at all in the 20 years since Minaka and Takami found her. After the Sekirei Plan is finally over and she's reunited with her beloved husband Takehito, it's implied Miya will finally age like everyone else.]]
* AllPowerfulBystander: She could defeat almost every Sekirei in the game without effort, but for some complicated reason she chooses to stay neutral and live peacefully at her husband's inn. [[spoiler: Her neutrality is vital to keeping Karasuba in check.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite being so calm and kind towards everyone, she gets pretty scary whenever her DemonHead pops up, despite having a nice smile on her face.
* BrutalHonesty: She is always the first to call Seo out on how much of a scumbag he really is and regularly threatens him if he crosses the line.
* CatchPhrase: "(Insert phrase)...is forbidden at the Izumo Inn."
* CoolBigSis: When called a mother figure, she [[DemonHead corrects]] it by stating she's this instead.
* CruelToBeKind: Strongly implied to be the real reason she forbids the girls from engaging Minato in romantic moments in the inn. As Miya, having lost the man she loved due to her getting too close with him and suffering a broken heart, she doesn't want to see them go through the same which is why she enforces such harsh rules on all of them to ensure they don't suffer from a broken heart if Minato should die. Considering the cruel fact that only one Sekirei can win this, it's safe to assume this is the case.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She was very clumsy when she was just married to Takehito, leading her to cause damages around the house while trying to do the chores. She only got better thanks to Seo's teachings.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Implied her kind and sweet nature was developed from her husband's influence on her to the point she adopted it because of her love for him turning her away from her cold and ruthless self.
* DemonHead: She is a master of this, able to use it to intimidate over the phone.
* DeterminedWidow: An adviser to Minato, especially since he's [[TakeUpMySword taken up]] her husband's task.
* TheDreaded: The legendary "Hannya of the North", a being so feared that the North remains relatively peaceful and the various forces controlling the rest of the city normally ''stay out''.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: After living for the last 20 years a widow and blaming herself for her husband's death, Minato is successful in reviving him and she's tearfully reunited with him and may finally be winged by him to end the Sekirei Plan for good.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Miya is the last Sekirei the winner of the game must defeat to take the throne of the Sekirei Queen in Kouten.]]
* GeneticMemory: [[spoiler: She possesses all the collective memories of the other 7 pillars from the past, who she states are all her other selves.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Whenever she's particularly angry. It's played completely for laughs.
* GodsHandsAreTied: [[spoiler: Her neutrality is essential to keeping Karasuba in check.]]
* GodWasMyCopilot: [[spoiler: Miya keeps her true identity hidden from Minato, Musubi, Kusano, and Tsukiumi for much of the story. After Uzume's termination, she finally reveals herself to Minato and agrees to share all her knowledge with him.]]
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She's an elegant YamatoNadeshiko and LadyOfWar who always wears a kimono with purple hakama pants.
* GuyOnGuyIsHot: She blushes when Homura confides in her that he might [[BlackComedyRape attack and rape Minato's behind]].
-->'''Homura''': I'm already at my limit. At this rate even my male side will react, and will I assail that moron's back?
-->'''Miya''': [[LuminescentBlush That is... A serious situation]].
* HairColorSpoiler: Her lilac hair is one of many hints that she's a Sekirei.
* HaremNanny: She keeps the antics in Izumo Inn to a minimum, sometimes with threats of physical violence or even kicking out the tenants.
* HeartbrokenBadass: She's ''the'' most powerful Sekirei and remains in mourning for her deceased husband, even years later.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: People are genuinely surprised to learn she isn't evil, as her reputation suggests.
* TheHighQueen: [[spoiler: She is the Queen of the Sekirei, though what exactly this means is unclear. Regardless, once she retired and became a neutral player, she settled into this role.]]
* HimeCut: As an epitome of YamatoNadeshiko, Miya has blunt bangs, collarbone length sidelocks, and hip length straight hair.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Her signature style, with not a single movement wasted.
* IllGirl: [[spoiler: Once defeated by Musubi and brought back from Kouten, she suffers severe "core poisoning." Matsu theorizes that if she becomes winged, this will pass, but Minato is not the guy to do it.]]
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Her forte, allowing her to perform amazing feats.
* ItsAllMyFault: Blames herself for what happened to her husband.
* JerkassToOne:
** She hates Seo and does ''not'' try to hide it. In fact, if not for Seo's friendship with her late husband, she would have nothing to do with him and regularly insults him to his face when he comes over for free food.
** She drops her calm and kind behavior whenever Minaka is involved and becomes more cold and ruthless to the point she outright stated she wouldn't hesitate to assist Homura in killing him. Considering [[spoiler:Takehito had to sacrifice himself to prevent a disaster at MBI because of an experiement Minaka was performing on the jinki went wrong]], it's no wonder Miya holds a grudge against Minaka.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: When she fights with a sword, it's going to be a katana.
* KimonoIsTraditional: She always wears a kimono styled like a {{Miko}}'s uniform to show her YamatoNadeshiko character.
* LadyOfWar: An elegant, composed lady who practices Iaijutsu. Everything she does is pure elegance.
* LethalChef: Originally, her cooking was so terrible that Takehito couldn't even swallow it. It turns out that Seo taught her how to cook.
* MamaBear: While she does not acknowledge herself as a mother figure it still counts since she does look after everyone in the Inn. Played straight with Kusano as she's not above attacking Seo whenever he bullies her.
* MarryForLove: [[spoiler: Miya states she's never been emerged, because her OneTrueLove wasn't an Ashikabi.]]
* MasterSwordsman: THE master swordsman of the series.
* TheMourningAfter: She still mourns Takehito's death. She ceremoniously visits his grave every month at the date of his death.
* NiceGirl: She's a very loyal ally and friend to her tenants.
* TheNicknamer: Doles them out to her tenants, often unflattering ones.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Once Karasuba drops by unnanounced at her Inn, Miya takes her "greeting" colding and knows she did it for a reason. They remain tense with one another with Miya coldly reminding her to never come by again other wise she'll finish what she started with her.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks like she's in her late 20s to early 30s. Twenty years ago, she looked exactly the same. [[spoiler:In fact, based on the story about Minato's ancestor, it's implied she's the oldest Sekirei of them all and is well over 100 years old.]]
* OneWomanArmy: [[spoiler: Sinking aircraft carriers with a single stroke.]]
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Seo is her favorite target, but few people are safe.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler: Those who know her true identity have stated that if she were to actually fight, the capital would be completely destroyed. Merely speaking to her on the street was enough to make BloodKnight Karasuba so excited that she needed to kill someone RIGHT AWAY.]]
* PhysicalGoddess: [[spoiler: The Pillar of the Sekirei, and mistress of Kouten. Takami once told Kusano that #01 was the "queen", but Miya corrects this by stating she's a goddess.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her signature color is purple, being the color of her hair and hakama, in line with her mysterious and regal nature.
* QuittingToGetMarried: She quitted the original Disciplinary Squad when she married Takehito.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair reaches past her back.
* RazorWind: [[spoiler: Her signature technique back in the day.]]
* TheRedBaron: The "[[{{Youkai}} Hannya]] of the North".
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She's strict with the rules at the Izumo Inn, but Miya has shown to be fair and just with her tenants and will watch over them as family so long as they follow the rules and help out around the inn.
* RetiredBadass: She was the captain and most powerful member of the first Disciplinary Squad. She stepped away from the events of the capital, choosing to live a quiet and humble life as that was her husband's wish. Everyone knows it's a ''really'' bad idea to get her out of retirement because she hasn't lost her touch from her old days in the battlefield.
* RunningGag: Using her demon face when scaring others into submission.
* SilkHidingSteel: She's a gentle and graceful lady with the ability to manifest her true strength with a scary demon aura that lets others know they shouldn't mess with her.
* SingleStrokeBattle: To ''Karasuba'' with her ''bare hands'' after [[spoiler: learning of her husband's death]], though Miya does not finish her off.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Even after 20 years, she's never shown any other interest in anyone other than Takehito whom she considers the love of her life.
* StoryBreakerPower: As many have stated, if Miya ever became an active participant in the Sekirei Plan, the game would be over in an instant because everyone would be crushed by her. For the sake of keeping the story going, she must remain an AllPowerfulBystander.
* SuperPrototype: She's the Sekirei No.1, one of the first five considered the most powerful thanks to her husband's modifications. [[spoiler:In fact, she's even more powerful than the others Takehito adjusted because she's a Pillar, making her basically a Sekirei goddess.]]
* SwordBeam: Included in her signature technique back in the day.
* TeamMom: She acts like a kind yet strict mother towards Minato's group as their landlady.
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: After Minato is successful in reviving her husband, she has a tearful reunion with him.]]
* TokenWholesome: She's insistent about modesty and very conservatively dressed. Her few scenes that feature nudity are also significantly less gratuitous than those of nearly every other Sekirei.
* WhenSheSmiles: Her romance with Takehito started when his comedic arguments with Seo made her smile for the first time.
* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: She's relied on this ever since her retirement.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: She's regarded as ''the'' strongest Sekirei ever born. [[spoiler: At least till defeated for the first time by Musubi.]]
* YamatoNadeshiko: In addition to looking the part (see [[KimonoIsTraditional the kimono]]) Miya has the composed, articulate charm of a classic matron. Even while training swordfighters. She can deliver deadly warnings with the same sweet civility.
* YouAreNumberSix: [[spoiler:Originally #00, but renumbered to]] #01.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or lavender hair, at least.

[[folder:Uzume #10]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uzume_7203.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuKobayashi (Drama CD), Creator/HitomiNabatame (Anime) (JP), Creator/JamieMarchi (EN)

She is a resident of Izumo Inn, and becomes good friends with Minato and his Sekirei. However, she is being blackmailed by Higa and forced to hunt down other Sekirei in violation of the rules. This double-life weighs heavily on her, and she is desperate to keep her secret from Chiho and her friends.

'''Ashikabi:''' Chiho Hidaka
----
* ActionGirlfriend: A rather tragic and dark example. Uzume's Ashikabi is an IllGirl who can't leave her hospital bed, so Uzume is even more on her own than other Sekirei who can take their Ashikabi to the battlefield. To make it worse, Higa is holding Chiho hostage by threatening to stop treating Chiho so Uzume acts as his personal Sekirei hunter.
* AloofAlly: Attempts to keep her distance from the others, for their own good.
* AmbiguouslyBi: She's utterly devoted to her female Ashikabi, Chiho. While her and Minato are firmly LikeBrotherAndSister, her teasing makes one wonder...
* AntiVillain: She's killing off other Sekirei, but she hates herself for it and is only doing it to save Chiho. Other than that, she's kind to Minato and the others and never does anything truly evil in the series.
* AtLeastIAdmitIt: When other Sekirei call her a coward and cruel for what she's doing, Uzume does not deny this and declares herself as such knowing what she's doing is wrong but feels like she has no other choice.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Uzume ends up performing a HeroicSacrifice to save Minato (Musubi in the anime), but she is revived by the end of the manga and reunites with Chiho who restores her memories by winging her again.]]
* BareYourMidriff: As the veiled Sekirei, she wears a midriff-baring top.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''By the veil of my contract, my Ashikabi's nightmares will be dispelled.''
* TheChampion: There's nothing she wouldn't do for Chiho's sake.
* ChastityCouple: Her relationship with Chiho is relatively subdued, at least physically. Considering Chiho's extremely [[IllGirl weak health]], this makes some sense.
* ClothingCombat: Her veil doubles as her weapon.
* CombatStilettos: When wearing her Sekirei gear, she's got no problems kicking ass in high heels.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: She has numerous costumes, all worn to entertain Chiho.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Golden brown hair and eyes.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: She fights in a mini skirt when wearing her Sekirei gear.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: [[spoiler: One of her special moves involves doing this ''literally'', by wrapping her target in her veil and then SHREDDING them with thousands of tiny cuts. It's one of the more vicious attacks in the series.]]
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After taking a fatal hit for Minato, Uzume bleeds out in his arms and ceases functioning.]]
* DressedLikeADominatrix: As the Veiled Sekirei, she wears a very revealing white outfit with opera gloves and high-heeled boots. Her weapon is a long cloth that she can wrap her opponents in.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: She gets revived, reunited with Chiho and they move back in to House Izumo.]]
* FirstFriend: Her Ashikabi Chiho is an IllGirl who spent all her time in the hospital and could never make friends until she met Uzume.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Higa is holding her Ashikabi Chiho hostage to force Uzume to eliminate other Sekirei. She knows it's wrong, but feels like there is no other choice.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Kazehana, whom she refers to as "Big Sis".
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's usually feminine, but has had moments of not being afraid to be rowdy towards others for fun.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She throws herself in the way to protect Minato (Musubi in the anime).]]
* IconicOutfit: Out of all the Sekirei clothes we've seen, from kimonos to battle wear, Uzume is known for pretty much being the most normal-looking Sekirei when not in battle mode. Simple jeans and a shirt, not standing out at all.
* ImCryingButIDontKnowWhy: [[spoiler:When she finally reunites with Chiho, she still doesn't remember her yet she starts crying as proof that their bond wasn't severed by her termination.]]
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Those paper wraps should not be so sturdy with all her flipping and whatnot.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her very close relationship to Minato ultimately amounts to this, although some serious flirting and teasing have taken place with Minato.
* NiceGirl: She's a friendly and good person at heart even with her actions genuilly trying to save Chiho.
* TheNotLoveInterest: She's the only resident of Izumo Inn who doesn't join Minato's harem. Justified since Uzume already has her own Ashikabi (Chiho) so she and Minato naturally only see each other as friends.
* PaperCutting: [[spoiler: With her veil, in particular when she attempts to intimidate Minato into getting out of her way.]]
* TheRedBaron: [[spoiler: The Veiled Sekirei, The Sekirei Hunter]]
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She comes out of her bedroom in her underwear with no regards to Minato seeing her. When Kagari berates her for this, Uzume says she's at least wearing something.
* ShipperOnDeck: Any time Minato gets another Sekirei, she supports him and his growing Harem, much to his annoyance.
* StepfordSmiler: She tries very hard to present a cheerful front to others, ''especially'' Chiho. Chiho, however, points out that their bond means she knows Uzume is really crying.
* TheTease: She has a tendency to flirt with Minato as a part of her fun sometimes.
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: When reunited with Chiho, Uzume starts crying from happiness of seeing her Ashikabi again even though she can't remember her yet.]]
* TokenYuriGirls: Her Ashikabi is a girl and they're deeply in love.
* TomboyishPonytail: She has some of her hair tied on the side of her head and the least typically girly girl in the inn.
* {{Underboobs}}: In her Sekirei garb exposes the undersides of her boobs.
* YouAreNumberSix: #10

->'''Voiced by:''' Sayori Ishizuka (JP), Creator/KaraEdwards (EN, as Janét Mason)

Chiho is Uzume's Ashikabi, and has been confined to a hospital since the death of her parents. Suffering from a terminal and incurable disease, she feels helpless to do anything for Uzume, who she knows is hiding something from her. Because of her condition, the owner of the hospital (Higa) is able to blackmail Uzume into working for him.

'''Sekirei:''' Uzume
----
* ChastityCouple: She and Uzume barely touch each other while being in a clear relationship. Justified by Chiho being bedridden. [[spoiler:In the epilogue, it looks like they have the chance to get more intimate now that Chiho is healthy and they're living together at Izumo Inn.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: A soft, light golden brown.
* DamselInDistress: Higa is holding her hostage at his family's hospital without her knowledge. If Uzume ever refuses his orders, Higa will have the hospital stop treating Chiho's illness, which would kill her in a few days.
* DisabledLoveInterest: To Uzume, her Sekirei girlfriend. Chiho is a wheelchair-bound IllGirl who is always bedridden. Because of her condition, Uzume is forced by Higa to do dirty work because he threatens to stop treating Chiho's illness at his family's hospital. [[spoiler:In the finale, Chiho's condition is cured by MBI and now can be with Uzume in perfect health.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: She's cured and reunited with Uzume in the finale.]]
* FriendlessBackground: She couldn't make friends before meeting Uzume because she was hospitalized from a young age.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Her room is filled with stuffed animals.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: Her parents passed away when she was young, leaving her completely alone.
* HostageSituation: The victim of one, and kept very much in the dark about it.
* IllGirl: Chiho is terminally ill, and constantly apologizes to Uzume for her failing health. [[spoiler:Chiho is eventually saved through Minato's efforts. But then Uzume sacrifices herself to protect Minato.]]
* TheIngenue: Sweet, innocent, and utterly kind-hearted.
* IntimateHairBrushing: Why Uzume wears some of her hair in a side ponytail? Chiho styled it like that for her.
* LipstickLesbian: The more feminine of the pair, though only because Uzume is an ActionGirlfriend.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She has no idea that the man who owns the hospital treating her is threatening to stop her treatment so Uzume eliminates Sekirei for him. While she doesn't know what Uzume is being forced to do to protect her, she can sense Uzume is very troubled about something.
* LonelyDollGirl: Before meeting Uzume, the only company she seemed to have were her stuffed animals.
* LoveAtFirstSight: When she first saw Uzume, she blushed and compared her to a pretty bird.
* NiceGirl: One of the few Ashikabi that is good to the core.
* ParentalAbandonment: Has felt lonely ever since her parents died. Uzume changed that.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: The only things known about her is that she's a cute IllGirl and Uzume's Ashikabi/girlfriend. It makes a bit of sense as Chiho had no family nor friends in her life before she met Uzume.
* SoapOperaDisease: Suffers from a vague disease that kept her wheelchair-bound.
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: She can't hold back the tears when reunited with Uzume in the final chapters.]]
* TokenYuriGirls: She loves Uzume completely, though their relationship is somewhat chaste.

!Disciplinary Squad
The Disciplinary Squad is a specialized unit used by [=MBI=] to enforce the rules of the Sekirei Plan. Their membership has changed over the years, but their purpose in eliminating threats remains the same. They are the primary antagonists of the series.
----

[[folder:General]]
* TerribleTrio: The Disciplinary Squad is formed by three Sekirei. Their job is to terminate any Sekirei who tries defying MBI or running away from the game. Kasuba is the deadliest one, while Benitsubasa and Haihane are more used for comedic moments even if they can be competent fighters.
* ThemeNaming: Karasuba means "crow feathers", Benitsubasa means "crimson wings", and Haihane means "grey wings".

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KosukeToriumi (JP), Creator/AnthonyBowling (EN)

An MBI clerk for the pharmaceutical department and Ashikabi of the Disciplinary Squad. He is a deeply cynical person, and harbors a deep hatred of the world because of the death of his lover, a military doctor. To most, he comes across as casual and unconcerned about the events taking place around him, with his true intentions known only to Karasuba.

'''Sekirei:''' Karasuba, Benitsubasa, Haihane
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: A brunette in the anime, but his [[WhiteHairBlackHeart hair is white]] in the manga.
* {{Bishonen}}: Well-dressed and very easy on the eyes.
* CoolCar: His car resembles a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_F430#F430_Spider Ferrari 430 Spider]]. He likes to take rides in it with Karasuba.
* DeathSeeker: There's many times where he looks pleased at finding himself in a situation where he could die and seems somewhat disappointed when he survives.
* DespairEventHorizon: His lover was a military doctor, killed in action. As a result, he's given up on the world.
* DissonantSerenity: Nothing fazes him, and he keeps smiling cheerfully whether his life is in danger or his Sekirei are brutally slaughtering their victims.
* ExcessiveMourning: The death of his lover left him "empty" inside and with no interest in forming new bonds with people. [[spoiler:Near the end of the series, he realizes the warmth of his Sekirei's love for him which he had ignored until then. He finally understands those bonds can give him a new purpose in life.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: He seems very friendly and polite. However, it's all a cover for how utterly empty inside he is.
* {{Foil}}: To Karasuba, surprisingly enough. [[spoiler:Both lost the most important person in their lives, leaving them empty and with the sole goal of destroying the world. At the end, Natsuo learns to appreciate his bonds with his Sekirei and this makes him value life once more. In contrast, Karasuba rejects those bonds and walks down the path of self-destruction because she never wanted to care about anyone but Yume.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Once the Sekirei Plan concludes, he, Benitsubasa, and Haihane turn good, with Natsuo striking a friendship with Minato.
* IcyBlueEyes: Completely cold and dispassionate.
* InterruptedSuicide: [[spoiler:The day he winged Karasuba, he would have thrown himself off the MBI building if Karasuba haven't asked him to help her destroy the world.]]
* ItAmusedMe: Responded to Karasuba's request to help her destroy the world was, "Sure, why not?". She describes him as a whimsical man.
* MrExposition: A source of valuable information when Minato first meets him, revealing just ''why'' attacking an Ashikabi is forbidden by the rules.
* NietzscheWannabe: He casually wonders why Minato doesn't kill him, since doing so would eliminate the Disciplinary Squad and remove much of MBI's power over the Sekirei.
* NonActionGuy: As typical of an Ashikabi, he sits back and lets his Sekirei do all the killing.
* SharpDressedMan: As befits a representative of the company.
* StepfordSmiler: A more low-key example. He seems cheerful and carefree, but he's really dead inside and just waiting for the world to end.
* TheStoic: He doesn't show much genuine emotion, unconcerned about the carnage and chaos that go on around him.
* StraightGay: He's so lacking of stereotypical homosexual traits that one would never guess Natsuo is gay unless Haihane said so.
* {{Synchronization}}: [[spoiler: Karasuba forcefully ripping out her wings really took a toll to Natsuo.]]
* TheTease: Playfully strings Benitsubasa along, giving her an AffectionateNickname and doing absolutely ''nothing'' to discourage her from being a HopelessSuitor.
* WhileRomeBurns: It doesn't matter what kind of chaos the Sekirei Plan has caused or currently causing. He remains calm and isn't bothered. He's angry at the world and no longer cares what happens to it.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In the manga, describing himself as "empty" and genuinely unconcerned about the horror Karasuba intends to unleash on the world. SubvertedTrope after he realizes he [[YouAreNotAlone isn't alone anymore.]]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[OmnicidalManiac Karasuba]] offered him the means to destroy the world he hates, during his DespairEventHorizon.
* WorthLivingFor: [[spoiler:Natsuo had lost any will to live after the death of his lover. When he realizes how much Benitsubasa and Haihane love him and want to live alongside him, Natsuo decides to live and be happy with his Sekirei.]]
* YouAreNotAlone: [[spoiler: He comes to realize this was the purpose behind Minaka assigning Benitsubasa and Haihane to him, providing him with two Sekirei that would eventually help push him past his despair]].

[[folder:Karasuba #04]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karasuba_4292.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RomiPark (JP), Creator/ChristineAuten (EN)

The "Black Sekirei", and longtime member of the Disciplinary Squad. She is the primary antagonist of the series, and fully intends to destroy humanity if she claims victory. She longs for the end of the Sekirei Plan.

'''Ashikabi:''' Natsuo Ichinomiya
----
* TheAgeless: She looks the same age as other Sekirei, but was an adult when all the others were still infants and hasn't aged in nearly twenty years.
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:She falls into despair after learning Yume's soul merged with Musubi's core and dies without ever getting the chance to fight the one person she respected more than anyone. Both Musubi and Natsuo are visibly hurt by how Karasuba dies having lost her will to live.]]
* ArchEnemy: Eagerly waiting the day that she becomes this to Musubi.
* AxCrazy: Death, destruction, and suffering are her bread and butter.
* {{BFS}}: Her ''nodachi'' is nearly as long as her body.
* BigBadEnsemble: Along with Minaka and Higa, Karasuba serves as one of the main antagonists of the series.
* BloodIsTheNewBlack: Played straight, and also used for ''comedy''. She's often left splattered with blood after dealing with targets, and a side story parodies this with Musubi's flashback of a SuperDeformed Karasuba coming to tell her about the new hot springs that just opened. Arrows point to splatters of blood, noting it to be from her victims.
* BloodKnight: She lives to take on strong opponents, which is the ''only'' reason she keeps Musubi around as a MoralityPet. She's grooming her to be an opponent worthy of the Final battle.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''This is the Blade of my Pledge. Exterminate the sworn enemies of my Ashikabi!''
* CloseCallHaircut: [[spoiler: Ends up losing her long hair, when she narrowly escapes Kaho's Norito. Since she's [[CombatPragmatist pragmatic]] to the extreme, she uses her coat and lost hair as a decoy....]]
* CoatCape: She wears her grey coat this way, as did most of the original Disciplinary Squad.
* CombatSadomasochist: ''Excited'' by killing, as well as the very idea of facing opponents capable of killing her. [[spoiler: She discusses almost dying at Miya's hands as something positive, and longs to experience it again.]]
* CombatStilettos: She fights really well while wearing high-heeled boots.
* DarkActionGirl: She's a deadly swordswoman dressed in black that terrifies everyone but Musubi.
* DeathByDespair: [[spoiler:She could have been revived after her defeat, but chooses not to due to realizing Yume could not be brought back.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:When Musubi reveals Yume is no longer within her because her core was completed by her love for Minato, Karasuba goes off the deep end and rips off her own Sekirei wings, symbolizing how she's rejecting all connection with Ashikabi and the world. After her termination, Karasuba apparently refuses to be revived by Musubi because she lost all will to live after knowing Yume was gone for good.]]
* DodgeTheBullet: Shown to be able to dodge automatic weapon fire at close range, in both the anime's prologue and the Kamikura island flashback. She does it while wearing a full-on SlasherSmile.
* TheDreaded: She is feared by other Sekirei as a monster because of her strength and blood lust. That Musubi gets along with her shocks many.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She openly cannot comprehend ThePowerOfLove that drives other Sekirei, and expresses disgust upon sensing positive emotions through her bond with Natsuo.
* EvilWearsBlack: She's known as "The Black Sekirei" because of the color of her clothes. She's also one of the most villainous and bloodthirsty Sekirei.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Early on, she constantly keeps her eyes closed. She opens them more often later on.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She comes across as very nice most of the time. It's probably because she's thinking about killing everyone around her.
* ForTheEvulz: She doesn't seem to have any reason for doing things other than because she loves destruction.
* FourIsDeath: And few people survive an encounter with Sekirei #04. [[spoiler:Karasuba is also the only Sekirei who stays dead even in the epilogue.]]
* HeroKiller: The only time anyone has survived facing her was either because they managed to escape, or she lost interest in them. [[spoiler: With the one exception of Miya...]]
* IcyGrayEyes: Her gray eyes signify how cold, uncaring and dangerous she is.
* IdiotHair: She has a long and prominent strand of hair sticking out atop her head.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: She can dodge bullets at close range, slice and dice with amazing precision, and stop a full charge within a second.
* INeedYouStronger: She actively encourages Musubi to become strong enough to challenge her in the final battle.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her main weapon of choice is a katana.
* KickTheDog: Aside from causing needless bloodshed, she ruthlessly kills innocent Sekirei and even their Ashikabi ''just for fun''.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Even after the "game" is over, she is still "terminated" because she ripped out her own wings, and Musubi can't revive her even with the power of Kouten. It's implied this is Karasuba's own choice as she lost the will to live the moment she knew Yume was really gone forever.]]
* LadyOfWar: An antagonistic version of this trope. And her reason for fighting is simply "to watch the world burn". [[SarcasmMode Classy...]]
* LimitBreak: Mei no Tachi - Kuon (Blade of the Underworld - Eternal Rage). [[spoiler: Her Norito is revealed to actually be quite weak, due to lacking any emotional bond with her Ashikabi.]]
* MasterSwordswoman: She's an incredibly skilled swordswoman.
* MinidressOfPower: Her uniform as a member of a Disciplinary Squad is a black mini dress.
* MurderBySuicide: She goaded [[spoiler:Takehito into making his HeroicSacrifice, by asking if he intended to abandon the Sekirei. He took the bait]].
* {{Necromantic}}: [[spoiler:Her true goal is terminating Musubi in hopes that will bring Yume out of her core and Yume will take full control of Musubi's body. However, in their final fight, Musubi reveals Yume's personality is no longer within her after the complete fusion of her cores. Karasuba doesn't take it well...]]
* OlderThanSheLooks: She looked the same as she does now twenty years ago.
* OmnicidalManiac: She wants to watch the world burn.
* OneWomanArmy: Once left a pile of corpses for Yume to see, after slaughtering human soldiers.
* OnlyMostlyDead: Subverted, sort of. [[spoiler:At the end of the series, she's technically not dead, just in suspended animation like any other Sekirei that stops functioning. However, she's the only one who doesn't wake up after Musubi revives all terminated Sekirei as she lost all hope of getting Yume back.]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In the past, her one goal in life was defeating her partner and rival Yume. [[spoiler:She was distraught when Yume sacrificed her life to save Musubi before she ever came close to surpassing her.]] In the present day, the feeling has been passed on to Musubi, reminding her to not let anyone take her out of the game before she terminates her herself.
* PetTheDog: After her final defeat by Musubi, and being comforted by Natsuo despite earlier cruelly ridiculing him, Karasuba finally relents and realizes how much Natsuo and the other squad members mean to her. She apologizes to Natsuo and admits he really means a lot to her.
* PsychoForHire: The one reason why she's still on the Disciplinary Squad is because the job gives her the chance to cut people up.
* PsychoLesbian: Obsessed with Yume, and by extension, Musubi. Further hinted at, when Natsuo talks about his deceased lover. His comments about "hating the world where the person he [[TheLostLenore loves]] no longer exists" makes her think of Yume.
* RedBaron: The Black Sekirei.
* TheRival: To Musubi (or more accurately, to Yume).
* {{Sadist}}: She loves killing.
* ScarsAreForever: Hints at the existence of a scar left from [[spoiler: when she almost died at Miya's hands.]]
* SingleStrokeBattle: Dishes these out like ''candy''. [[spoiler: She was once on the receiving end of one thanks to Miya, who did it with her BARE HANDS. Karasuba recalls it fondly and wants to experience that "fear and pain" again.]]
* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler:It's implied that Karasuba could never react to an Ashikabi because the only person she ever wanted to be bonded with was Yume.]]
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: A same-sex example. [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that she doesn't love Yume because of her [[InLoveWithYourCarnage immense power]] but for her idealism.]]
* SlasherSmile: When she gets worked up.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Her hatred of humans is based on them being [[PunyEarthlings "weak"]]. Similarly, she once tried to kill Kaho as a small child, because she considers weak Sekirei useless.
* SuperPrototype: She's one of the first five Sekirei models and one of the most powerful due to the special adjustments given to her by Takehito.
* TomboyishPonytail: She's a powerful DarkActionGirl who ties her hair back in a ponytail.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She seems to be incredibly fond of apples. At one point, she brings a basket of them to Musubi and offers her one with a creepy smile.
* VillainRespect: After Kaho gave her a tough fight, where even after using her Norito, she had to turn to fighting dirty to win, she stops, looks upon Kaho and promises to never forget her name again. Now remember that the reason she forgot Kaho in the first place, is that she considered Kaho a pathetic weakling for not being able to protect herself from armed soldiers as a small child.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Her hair is light gray to identify her as a main villain.
* WorthyOpponent: She respected Yume as the strongest and greatest Sekirei she wanted to surpass no matter what. She wants to fight Musubi for this very reason since she posseses Yume's core.
* WouldHurtAChild: She threatened Musubi and Kaho when both were small children.
* YouAreNumberSix: #04
* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: [[spoiler: She really lost it when Yume sacrificed her core to save Musubi, in which Karasuba blames the latter upon the former's death. She seems alright around Musubi during the series because she knows Yume still lives as a dormant personality inside Musubi. That's until their final match in which Karasuba learns Yume's personality has disappeared forever as a result of assimilation between Musubi's and Yume's cores after Musubi's Sekirei declaration to Minato. Karasuba then goes into a murderous rage, blaming Musubi and Minato for "killing" Yume.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (JP), Creator/TrinaNishimura (EN, as Anita Neukar)

Known by the title of the "Red Sekirei". She has a vicious temper, as well as serious insecurities about her figure, and enjoys causing pain to her opponents. Her abilities allow her to cause massive destruction. Completely in denial of her Ashikabi's sexuality, she is often the butt of her squadmate's jokes. After the battle on the bridge, she becomes obsessed with killing Musubi.

'''Ashikabi:''' Natsuo Ichinomiya
----
* ACupAngst: ''Don't'' tell her she's on the itty bitty titty committee.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Shijime, who calls her "Beni-ko" and glomps her.
* BadassDecay: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in the second phase along with Haihane.
* BareFistedMonk: Like Musubi, she's a Sekirei specialized in hand-to-hand combat.
* {{Bokukko}}: She uses the boyish pronoun "boku" and a very masculine language.

* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''Palm of my pledge, crush the stones torturing my Ashikabi!''
* CloseRangeCombatant: She's a close-combat fighter like Musubi.
* CombatPragmatist: She'll cheat in a heartbeat to win.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Pink hair and eyes.
* EvilCounterpart: To Musubi - though they're both hand-to-hand fighters, Benitsubasa's (relative) intelligence and viciousness forms a polar opposite contrast to Musubi's ditziness and sweetness.
* EvilRedhead: Cruel, spiteful, and just plain mean.
* FieryRedhead: She has reddish pink hair and a really nasty temper.
* FingerlessGloves: Like Musubi, she wears fingerless gloves with extra padding to protect her knuckles.
* GiantWaistRibbon: She wears an obi belt with a large ribbon at the right side of her waist.
* HairTriggerTemper: Hers is even worse than Tsukiumi's, and she's definitely a lot more sadistic.
* HeelFaceTurn: Once the Sekirei Plan concludes, she, Natsuo, and Haihane turn good, though she still holds some animosity towards Musubi, waiting for her to return for a rematch.
* IncompatibleOrientation: She's utterly in denial over the fact that her Ashikabi is gay, and will never fall in love with her. She's convinced she can make Natsuo heterosexual with her [[ThePowerOfLove pure love]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She has an awful temper and anyone who isn't Natsuo is garbage in her eyes, but she does care for her squadmates and especially Natsuo.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: She's expressed the desire to murder Karasuba and Haihane, so she can have Natsuo all to herself.
* TheNicknamer: Variously refers to Musubi as "boobsy", "big breasted bimbo", "the big breasted woman" and "the girl with the pneumatic knockers".

[[folder:Haihane #104]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haihane_2879.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsukiSaiga (JP), Creator/ClarineHarp (EN)

Known by the title of the "Blue Sekirei". She is far more laidback than Benitsubasa, and takes any opportunity to mock her over her various shortcomings. Her weapon is a pair of clawed gauntlets, and her body is covered in scars from injuring herself on multiple occasions. Unlike her partner, she is an intelligent and level-headed fighter....as well as completely aware of their Ashikabi's sexuality. She claims to simply admire his personality, but is extremely protective of him and easily flustered when he mentions kissing.

'''Ashikabi:''' Natsuo Ichinomiya
----
* AmusingInjuries: Prone to these.
* BadassDecay: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in the second phase along with Benitsubasa.
* BandageBabe: She's covered from her neck down in bandages.
* BeadyEyedLoser: Beady-eyed and unkempt, making her look slightly plain.....at least by [[HollywoodHomely Sekirei standards]].

* CantHoldHerLiquor: She gets totally shitfaced just from inhaling the fumes from alcohol, let alone actually drinking.
* CollaredByFashion: She wears a leather dog collar for no apparent reason other than odd fashion sense.
* CombatPragmatist: Not above cheap shots or cheating to win.
* CoveredWithScars: Under all those bandages, she has scars all over her body.
* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Usually shadowed further by her hair.
* DeadpanSnarker: A fountain of snark, especially concerning Benitsubasa.
* EvilCounterpart: To Tsukiumi - though they both fight with bladed weapons, Haihane's level-headedness and underhanded tactics form a stark contrast to Tsukiumi's temper and chivalry.
* HighPressureBlood: Whenever she's injured.
* HeelFaceTurn: Once the Sekirei Plan concludes, she, Benitsubasa, and Natsuo turn good.
* IronicFear: Afraid of heights. When questioned by Benitsubasa, she claims to only remember her phobia when not fighting.
* NoodleIncident: We never find out how she obtained the extensive scars all across her body.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Her beady and tired-looking eyes make her stand out when alongside the other Sekirei, and cause her to look creepy and ([[HollywoodHomely comparatively]]) less attractive.
* OnlySaneWoman: In spite of her creepiness, she is actually the most emotionally stable and sensible of Natsuo's Sekirei.
* PeekABangs: One of her eyes is usually hidden under her bangs.
* PerkyGoth: Though creepy looking, she's actually laid back and comical.

* SuperDrowningSkills: Her claws make it impossible for her to swim, resulting in several near drownings.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Benitsubasa.
* VillainBall: Invoked by Benitsubasa in-universe; "you're so useless today!"
* VillainDecay: A legitimately terrifying opponent during her introduction, she goes on to mostly serve as comic relief.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: She enjoys her role as one of MBI's enforcers, showing no mercy to fellow Sekirei or even humans. SubvertedTrope when she, Natsuo, and Benitsubasa have a HeelFaceTurn.
* WolverineClaws: Her weapons are clawed gauntlets.
* YouAreNumberSix: #104

!MBI
A pharmaceutical company that rose dramatically in prominence roughly twenty years ago, thanks to the discovery of the Sekirei. Utilizing the technology discovered on the crashed vessel, it has become an incredibly powerful company and owns almost everything in the capitol. With their own private military force and the Disciplinary Squad, the company has almost unlimited resources and command of the city. It oversees the care and maintence of the Sekirei, as well as forcing them to participate in the Sekirei Plan.

The eccentric chairman and founder of MBI. Hiroto has completely taken over the city with MBI in order to implement Sekirei Plan in which all Sekirei and their Ashikabi must participate.
----
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Attempting to be this, prior to discovering the Sekirei.
* AffablyEvil: Dude might be the power mad head of MBI, but dude's got style.
* BigBad: The main antagonist of the series who is behind the entire Sekirei Plan, controlling everything.
* BigEntrance: Hanging from a rope ladder, extended from an MBI helicopter. [[spoiler: ....it turns out it's ActuallyADoombot, which warns that is about to explode. Homura cannot resist the chance to KillItWithFire anyway]].
* CheshireCatGrin: Sports one often.
* TheChessmaster: The head of the Sekirei Plan, literally using everyone involved as his game pieces.
* CommonLawMarriage: He and Takami are in a complicated relationship and have two children together. Minaka is asking her to get legally married all the time, but Takami keeps refusing.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: ''The'' corrupt corporate executive of the series. He can pretty much do whatever he wants, due to his power and influence.
* CrazyPrepared: Escape hatches? Robotic messengers? An emergency escape rocket? He apparently keeps stuff around ''just in case'' he gets a chance to use them.
* DiabolicalMastermind: He always seems one step ahead of everyone else, with everything playing into his game.
* DisappearedDad: It is shown that he hasn't been in touch with his children for years or never met them to begin with. Minato doesn't even know Minaka is his father until near the end of the series because his mother told him his father was dead. Minaka has shown interest in knowing how Yukari turned out to be, but Takami doesn't want him near their kids.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely cares about Takami, and has expressed interest in being a father to Yukari and Minato, despite Takami's objections.
* EvilLaugh: He loves to do this one. Lampshaded in the anime, when his laugh tapers off to coughing when he pushes it too far.
* {{Fiction 500}}: His company is one.
* FirstLove: She was the first man Kazehana ever loved. After being rejected, Kazehana was hung up on him for 20 years until she falls for Minato.
* GameMaster: Fancies himself one.
* HybridPower: His Sekirei ancestry is what allowed him to enter and reactivate the crashed Sekirei ship.
* IGaveMyWord: He honored [[spoiler:Takehito]]'s request to not involve [[spoiler:Miya]] in the Sekirei Plan.
* ItAmusedMe: Pretty much his reason for doing anything.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He pretty much acts like a child wanting the game to go the way he wants for his own amusement and cares more about how fun it is for himself despite others dying from the cause.
* IGaveMyWord: He's an amoral scumbag to the core, but when he gives his word, he ''will'' honor it.
* LargeHam: He ''loves'' being overly dramatic and flashy, especially during his speeches.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Zig-zagged. He's still alive in the end of the series running MBI, but upon the Sekirei Plan being over, his organization is suffering from his actions, all the Sekirei are now freed, and despite Minato now working for MBI to help the Sekirei, he and Yukari have no desire to be with him or get to know him and will live forever never getting to know his own children.
* LaughablyEvil: While he's a shifty CorruptCorporateExecutive, it's hard to not get a laugh out of his hammy and trickster character.
* LawEnforcementInc: Turned MBI into this when he took control of Tokyo and all authority.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: Takes full advantage of the Bridge escape to justify stricter control of the capital, claiming it to be a "terrorist attack".
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Flashbacks show that he, along with Takami, had black hair before they found the Sekirei ship.
* MadScientist: To the core. Everything he does seems to be for his own amusement and SCIENCE, with no concern for the morality of his actions.
* NiceShoes: Hidden platforms in his boots, to make him look taller.
* NonActionBigBad: He's not a fighter at all, relying on his soldiers and the Disciplinary Squad to handle all violent matters.
* OlderThanHeLooks: He looks older than most of the male characters, but not old enough to have two adult children.
* PetTheDog:
** He's willing to use MBI's resources to save the fatally ill [[spoiler:Chiho]]. He may have some [[XanatosGambit ulterior motive regardless of what happens]], but he's not all bad.
** When Takehito was willing to sacrifice himself to save the Sekirei from terminating and the civilians around, Minaka was against it but reluctanly gave in and apologized to him. Upon his last moments, he begged Minaka to not let Miya be involved in his plan, and Minaka promised him he would. True enough, Miya is never involved in his plans and has stayed away from her since then.
** He gave Natsuo Benitsubasa and Haihane as a way to help him move on from his lover's death and find TrueCompanions in the two of them.
* PrematurelyGreyHaired: He and Takami discovered something during their researches. It also gave them white hair.
* ThisPageWillSelfDestruct: A [[spoiler: life-like robot]] states this after delivering a message to the heroes. Homura takes the chance to KillItWithFire on reflex.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: He's a LargeHam who rarely acts seriously, whereas Minato is quiet, emotional and very serious.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The Sekirei Plan indeed put the Sekirei and some Ashikabi through a lot of pain, but Minaka organized it all because he truly wishes to set the Sekirei free from the Kouten's system that trapped them. In the epilogue, Minato can figure out everything Minaka did was in order to save the Sekirei.]]
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Beneath his eccentric behavior is a ruthless individual toying with the hearts and lives of human and Sekirei alike.
* TheWonka: Eccentric, but undeniably brilliant and ruthless.

The mother of Minato and Yukari, MBI's head researcher, and the person in charge of the Sekirei Plan. She often expresses disapproval over how Hiroto is going about the plan.

* BoyishShortHair: Her short hair shows her headstrong and assertive personality.
* BrutalHonesty: She's often blunt whenever she criticizes Minato for disappointing her.
* CommonLawMarriage: With Minaka. They have two children together, but live separately and Takami refuses to take his surname despite Minaka's persistent requests.
* DragonInChief: While Minaka is the titular head of MBI, she's the one who really runs the show, although she will obey his orders even when she strongly disagrees with them.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Downplayed. Takami isn't evil herself, but she still serves as TheDragon to the BigBad who is also the father of her children. Through her two children's entire lives, Tamaki did her best effort to keep them away from any contact from their father so he wouldn't be a bad influence to them.
* EyeScream: A flashback shows that one of Mikogami's Sekirei, Yomi, slashed one of her eyes with a scythe while trying to kidnap Kusano, leaving her grievously wounded and traumatizing the young sekirei. While Minaka may overlook this, she does not, and the final chapters show that she is quite bitter about it. Mikogami remains completely unrepentant, only realizing that she hates him but utterly refusing to admit he was wrong.
* HotScientist: She's an attractive woman who works as a scientist for a MegaCorp.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Minaka is her superior, but she's far more competent than he will ever be, and she knows it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even though she's often tough on Minato, Takami's a good-hearted mother underneath it all.
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: She wears a labcoat to show her profession as a scientist.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Flashbacks show that she, along with Minaka, had black hair before they found the Sekirei ship.

* PrematurelyGreyHaired: She and Minaka discovered something during their researches. It also gave them white hair.
* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:She refuses to tell her children that Minaka is their father under any circumstances. As it turns out, Minaka is the main villain in the series.]]
* ScarsAreForever: She's left with a scar down her face, after being attacked by Yomi.
* SecretRelationship: Minaka is the father of her children, and is forbidden from joining the Sahashi family or telling anyone he's their father.
* SlasherSmile: Now we know where Yukari got it.
* SmokingIsCool: She's frequently shown smoking, playing up how cool she is.
* SmokingIsGlamorous: When dressed up for a night on the town, she immediately has Homura give her a light.
* SoProudOfYou: She's genuinely proud of Minato for standing up to her. But [[spoiler:she gleefully has him arrested anyway.]]
* ToughLove: Takami is harsh towards Minato for being unable to deal with pressure, but she does it out of love.
* {{Troll}}: After Tsukiumi spent all night by Minato's hospital bed, after the Bridge incident, Takami asks Tsukiumi "shouldn't you be addressing me as 'Mother' by now?" and when Tsukiumi complies due to her extreme dedication to proper manners, Takami then turns away and proclaims she was just kidding. It took Minato restraining her to keep Tsukiumi from blasting Takami through a wall with water pressure.
* {{Tsundere}}: Harsh type towards Minaka. She's infuriated by his overall irritating character and underhanded way of doing things, but his rare human moments make it hard for her to fully hate him and they have two children for that reason.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: ''The'' biggest question is what she ever saw in a sociopath like Minaka given she gave birth to two of his children yet refuses to ever marry him or let her children near him. It is implied he wasn't as bad as before yet the whole Sekirei Plan ordeal made him get an enourmous ego in the process.
* UnevenHybrid: Like Minaka and her children, she's a descendant of ancient Sekirei and she inherited their traits.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Minato mentions that she worked a lot, so both him and his sister didn't get to spend much time with her. When we do see her, she clearly has a lot going on since she works for MBI.
* YearsTooEarly: When Minato calls her out, she captures him and proudly tells him that he's "100 years" too early to do that.

* SorryThatImDying: Apologized to Miya prior to dying.

When Tsukiumi tells Minato some "scary tales" about Miyajima, all Minato takes of it is how much Miyajima loves Tsukiumi as her own child.
* TheDreaded: She's the only person Tsukiumi is absolutely terrified of.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunFukuyama (JP), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (EN)

The Ashikabi of the South. A wealthy and spoiled teenager, he is known as a [[TheCollector collector of Sekirei]] and aggressively pursues any target that catches his interest. While extremely cunning and ruthless, he is also very childish and treats the Sekirei Plan like a very exciting game rather than a serious life-and-death conflict. Because of this, he tends to stick to the rules and will step in to prevent others from cheating.

'''Sekirei:''' Mutsu, Akitsu, Yomi, Mitsuha, Mitsuki, Taki, Himeko, Juusa, and Momo
----
* AbductionIsLove: Infamous for aggressively pursuing Sekirei, and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything forcefully]] winging them. It's unclear how many of his Sekirei were victims, but the trope is played straight in that they all seem genuinely fond of him.
* AdoptTheDog: Mikogami is a neutral character with morally questionable methods for gathering Sekirei, including the use of violence. Therefore, the flashback to him gently asking Akitsu to join his team and enjoy the "game" with him is one big PetTheDog moment.
* AffectionateNickname: "Miko-sama", by most of his Sekirei.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Ignores his harem of [[BuxomIsBetter attractive]] female Sekirei, but expresses interest in whether the male one will react if "[[DoubleEntendre kissed]] [[FemaleGaze anywhere else]]".
* AnimalMotifs: He's explicitly compared to an "abandoned dog" that Mutsu picked up.
* AntiVillain: He's an antagonist to the protagonist group because they're in rival factions and he caused the mess with Kusano growing a forest to defend herself from being winged by him without consent early in the series, but his characterization in later chapters make clear Mikogami isn't evil. He's just a LonelyRichKid who sees the Sekirei Plan as his escape from his previous empty life, not fully understanding what should be wrong with eliminating rival Sekirei or winging Sekirei by force because it's all "part of the game". Also, unlike Higa, Mikogami respects the rules and actually cares for his Sekirei as his friends because he finally stopped feeling lonely thanks to them.
* ApatheticStudent: At school, he was bored out of his mind because he already finished his ''college'' education back in America. This is one of the reasons why he was all for joining the Sekirei Plan when Mutsu found him.
* AscendedFanboy: An avid gamer playing a real life game. He's the only one thrilled whenever [[BigBad Minaka]] announces some new rule or twist.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: His Sekirei note his tendency to be easily distracted by anything new, interesting, or rare.
* BenevolentBoss: Despite his [[AbductionIsLove questionable methods]] for gathering Sekirei, Mikogami treats his Sekirei very well, considers them his important friends, and provides them a good life at his mansion. His response to Mitsuha's termination is to immediately fret over Akitsu and then order everyone to be careful.
* BigFancyHouse: A western-styled mansion, filled with his collection of PrettyFreeloaders.
* {{Bishonen}}: Hikari and Hibiki even comment on his looks, as one of the ''many'' things about the Southern Sekirei that make them jealous.
* BlitheSpirit: His stated intention if he were to win, as he considers the world too restricting and unexciting.
* BoomerangBigot: Despite being human himself, Mikogami hates humans for being so shallow and dishonest. He thinks Sekirei are much better friends than humans ever could be because they have cool powers and are unquestionably loyal to their Ashikabi.
* BrattyHalfPint: He's much younger than the other Ashikabi, and seems to actively attempt to get on their nerves.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: In an otherwise ordinary side story, he yells at the narration to shut up.
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: He goes into his match with Sanada confident, but quickly finds himself helplessly watching his Sekirei get slaughtered in rapid succession]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: At first, he's [[ObviouslyEvil ruthless and cruel]] with his FaceFramedInShadow. Subsequent appearances portray him to be extremely cunning, but also [[{{Keet}} hyperactive]] and easily distracted by anything he considers exciting.
* ClassicVillain: In his first appearance. Later on, not so much.
* ClassyCravat: He wears an elegant cravat as part of his rich boy getup.
* ClosetKey: Similar to Homura and Minato, Mutsu was expecting a female Ashikabi only for the one who he was drawn to turning out to be a boy. Subverted since Mutsu doesn't feel any romantic or sexual attraction for Mikogami, acting as a mixture of a bodyguard and caretaker instead.
* TheCollector: His reputation proceeds him as a collector of Sekirei.
* CompulsorySchoolAge: Even though he already has a college degree at fifteen, his parents still sent him to school under the excuse that he needed to try making friends around his age.
* TheDandy: He's a rich boy with a very elegant fashion sense.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: He states that prior to meeting Mutsu, his life was empty and he always longed for "something amazing" to happen to him.
* DitzyGenius: He's book smart, and able to outwit adults.....but he's also got ZERO common sense.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He expresses disgust at how Higa treats his Sekirei like disposable things, and wonders if he actually ''hates'' them. Mikogami also makes clear he hates scheming cheaters like Higa and he intends beating Minato in the game fair and square.
* FairPlayVillain: Generally, he considers it important to stick to the rules of the Sekirei Plan. This brings him into direct opposition with the East, since Higa continually [[LoopHoleAbuse cheats]].
* FreudianExcuse: His relationship with his parents is....poor at best. His parents' treatment made him feel like he had no control over his own life, leaving him deeply resentful of the world and terrified of further abandonment. As a result, he calls his defeated Sekirei "useless" and claims to hate them, since they abandoned him.
* FriendlessBackground: He never got along with the students at the school his parents sent him to. During his battle with Sanada, he describes his Sekirei as the only friends he's ever had.
* GottaCatchThemAll: Approaches the Sekirei Plan like a game of Pokemon.
-->'''Mikogami''': ''It's a natural element! It's fire! It's rare! I want one!''
* GradeSkipper: He's only fifteen years old, but he already finished ''college'' at America.
* HappilyAdopted: He's a neglected kid who was "picked up" by Mutsu who since then has acted as his unofficial guardian and babysitter.
* HatesBeingAlone: Before the Sekirei Plan, he was bored and lonely because his parents were always busy with work and his peers envied him for being rich. So, he's filled his home with as many Sekirei as possible. He hates losing his Sekirei because he's afraid of being left alone again and makes Mutsu promise to never abandon him.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mutsu, his first Sekirei. They're a rare same-sex Ashikabi-Sekirei pair, but their relationship doesn't have a single romantic or sexual hint in it. Yet, they share one of the strongest bonds in the series.
* HiddenDepths: Easily one of the most complex characters in the series.
* HowDareYouDieOnMe: His anger towards his terminated Sekirei is actually this, as he states they abandoned him.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: This is his real reason for winging as many Sekirei as he can. Mikogami could never make any human friends, so he wants to be surrounded by Sekirei who love him and never leave him.
* ImprobableAge: He's already a college graduate at the age of 15.
* InnocentProdigy: Despite being intelligent enough to finish college at fifteen, Mikogami is still an excitable teenager who yearns for loyal friends and needs Mutsu to babysit him.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: And he cites his intelligence as one of the reasons he could never make friends.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's fairly self-centered, and primarily concerned with his own enjoyment of the "Game".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Arrogant, bratty, and utterly ruthless when it comes to getting what he wants. He's prone to insulting rival Ashikabi, and considers most people stupid. He has more redeeming qualities than it seems at first glance, though. He truly cares about his Sekirei and considers them his only true friends. He's also a fair player who won't forgive those who cheat like Higa.
* JumpedAtTheCall: He's an enthusiastic participant in the Sekirei Plan, having ''finally'' gotten the chance to live a more exciting life.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He seems to have escaped punishment for the attack on Takami, possibly because this allowed the "Green Girl" game to occur. However, his karma eventually does catches up to him later on. [[spoiler: Sanada's ''real'' AmazonBrigade slaughter almost all his Sekirei in a matter of moments, with Akitsu sacrificing herself to defeat them]].
* {{Keet}}: Veers into this on occasion, especially when something exciting happens.
* LastNameBasis: His butler is the only one who calls him by his personal name, Hayato.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Akitsu. She was a Sekirei who was called a failure and discarded for not being able to be winged by an Ashikabi. When she was sad and alone, Mikogami happily asked her to be his Sekirei even though he can't wing her, which gave her a reason to live. Akitsu calls Mikogami her home and would do anything to protect him, [[spoiler:even sacrificing herself for him near the end of the game]].
* LonelyRichKid: While he's rich and can have pretty much any material goods he wants, he was ignored by his parents, and completely friendless until he met Mutsu.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: His first few appearances suggest this, but it's quickly blown out the window when it's revealed he's simply a bratty teenager.
* MoralMyopia: He's not above crossing lines to get what he wants, such as attacking other Ashikabi in his quest to obtain a new Sekirei. However, he reacts poorly to slights against him, even ordering Mutsu to take care of Yukari after she hits him.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: "''I broke the ship!''" [[spoiler: The ship was damaged during his match against Sanada, allowing a military force to launch an invasion of Kamikura Island]].
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The In-Between to Minato's Nice and Higa's Mean. Mikogami is very much a SpoiledBrat who is not above attacking people to get his way and winging Sekirei by force after cornering them. Despite that, he treats his Sekirei as his friends and equals, hating when they get hurt or terminated because he doesn't want to lose them. He also wants to win the Sekirei Plan while playing by the rules and will step in to stop cheaters like Higa from ruining the game.
* NonActionGuy: He ''claims'' to know "self-defense". He doesn't.
* OffToBoardingSchool: It's mentioned that his parents punished him for acting up in the past by sending him to [[MinorLivingAlone live by himself]] in America for a while. This seems to have been their version of grounding him.
* ParentalNeglect: He states his parents have always ignored him, other than when he got into trouble or proved useful in raising their status. They threatened to send him off to live alone on the other side of the planet ''again'' if he misbehaves a second time.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: In Chapter 116, he grabs Mutsu's scarf and asks him if he won't ever leave him while giving him the PuppyDogEyes.
* PragmaticVillainy: He sends some of his Sekirei as reinforcements to help Minato's Sekirei during Higa's attack to Izumo Inn during the fourth round. It's not that Mikogami likes helping Minato; if Higa's Sekirei make the mistake of pushing [[WorldsStrongestWoman Miya]] to join the battle, the game will be instantly over and that won't be any fun for Mikogami.
* PrincelyYoungMan: The SpoiledBrat type, although a sympathetic one. He's very wealthy, dresses elegantly, and his Sekirei treat him like their adored prince.
* PuppyDogEyes: Described by Mutsu as his "abandoned dog" expression. It is super-effective against him.
* TheRedBaron: "Mikogami of the South", in acknowledgement of his control of the southern portion of the city.
* RichBoredom: Expresses that he hated his dull and uneventful life, prior to joining the Sekirei Plan.
* TheRival: While all of the Ashikabi are in competition with each other, he tends to be Minato's most direct and consistent opponent. He also possesses a fairly strong moral code and is willing to work alongside Minato in more dangerous situations, making the two of them have a much more cordial relationship compared to most other Ashikabi.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Mutsu's Manly Man. Mikogami is the pampered and easily lonely PrincelyYoungMan as well as a NonActionGuy, in contrast to his stoic swordsman Sekirei.
* ShooTheDog: When his Sekirei are getting mercilessly eliminated by Sanada's Sekirei, Mikogami tells Akitsu that she's free to run away since she's not really his Sekirei and doesn't have to fight for him anymore. While she initially fears that she's being discarded again, he makes it clear that isn't the case; he just doesn't want to lose more of his dear friends. However, Akitsu still chooses to stay and protect her master.
* SoreLoser: He ''hates'' losing.
* SpoiledBrat: The "lavished with material goods in place of affection" variant.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: His method for recruiting rare Sekirei he wants, such as Kusano and Shiina, is sending his Sekirei after them and then trying to forcibly wing them to add them to his collection.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He delivers an extremely effective one to Higa. He berates Higa about the way he treats Sekirei like disposable tools and is taking the fun out of the "game" with his dirty tactics instead of letting the Sekirei help him find a chance to free himself from the restrictive society. He also makes Higa see that the real reason why he's attacking Minato's group is because he's jealous of Minato, although Mikogami doesn't believe that's a bad motivation to compete with a rival as long as Higa starts playing fairly.
* TsurimeEyes: To match his temperamental personality.
* VillainousRescue: Rescues Minato and his Sekirei when they're ambushed by [[spoiler: Uzume]], forcing her to retreat. He later shows up during the assault on Izumo Inn, sending Mutsu to protect Miya and eventually forcing Higa to retreat after lecturing him on his failure as an Ashikabi.
* WalkingTheEarth: In chapter 184, he winds up searching the world for clues about Sekirei, joined by a large group of his own Sekirei. He is shown to be happier than ever, as he gets to live out his dreams of adventure.

[[folder:Mutsu #05]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mutsu_2536.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Daisuke Matsubara (JP), Creator/RobertMcCollum (EN)

A reserved and [[StraightMan serious]] swordsman, as well as one of the few male Sekirei. He is one of the founding members of the Disciplinary Squad, and now serves as the bodyguard for the Ashikabi of the South, Mikogami. More often than not, he serves as a voice of reason and attempts to keep his master out of harm's way, a duty that has thus far kept him out of battle. He is noted by his former allies as being a difficult person to get to know, but is deeply devoted to his young master and turns out to be surprisingly kind, even to his enemies.

'''Ashikabi:''' Hayato Mikogami
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: A male example.
* AdoptTheDog: An in-universe example: [[spoiler: Miya]] expresses surprise at him settling down after being emerged. Mutsu even describes it as losing to Mikogami's "abandoned puppy" expression.
* AloofAlly: Veers into this when interacting with the original Disciplinary Squad.
* {{Bishonen}}: Tall, handsome, thin as a rail.
* BlitheSpirit: He answered Mikogami's wish to meet someone amazing who would change his boring life forever.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''Earth of my pledge, spread to protect the territory of my Ashikabi!''
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Mutsu is Mikogami's bodyguard and caretaker, whether it's keeping him from starting fights they can't win or lecturing him about his bed time.
* DishingOutDirt: The Sekirei of Earth, powerful enough that Mikogami considers him a game-breaker. [[spoiler: He uses his LimitBreak to ''raise new islands'' from the ocean floor, stabilizing the ship in the process]].
* FirstFriend: By becoming Mikogami's first Sekirei, he also became the first friend the LonelyRichKid ever had.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mikogami. Mutsu wanted to have a female Ashikabi and unlike Homura, he never shows romantic or sexual attraction for his male Ashikabi, as seen when he's ''not'' happy about having to kiss another guy for his Norito. Still, Mutsu is Mikogami's loyal right-hand man and protector who is always by his side.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Though he rarely draws it, using the scabbard instead.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Usually by carrying Mikogami off before he can do something foolish.
* LeanAndMean: Subverted. A tall, thin antagonist in black.....who turns out to be a pretty nice guy without any malicious intentions. He, along with Akitsu, are the only Southern Sekirei that aren't {{Jerkass}}es.
* MasterSwordsman: Though he rarely draws it, the anime shows him to be able to take on Karasuba and live.
* MrFanservice: ArtEvolution has resulted in greater focus being given to just how low his shirt hangs open, and how chiseled his abs are.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: Blows open a hole in the ship's hull, disabling the defense system for Kamikura Island. This allows a military force to launch an invasion of the island]].
* NiceShoes: His geta.
* TheNicknamer: He has ''several'' unflattering nicknames for Matsu and Kazehana.
* NobleTopEnforcer: He's honorable and actually quite kind, though fully devoted to his Ashikabi no matter how much of a SpoiledBrat he is.
* OlderThanHeLooks: He appears the same age as most Sekirei, but he was fully grown when even Homura was still an infant.
* TheOneGuy: He's the only male Sekirei on Mikogami's faction and the original Disciplinary Squad. His [[WithFriendsLikeThese experience]] with [[BewareTheNiceOnes the]] [[LovableSexManiac other]] [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl members]] leads him to express his sympathy to [[StraightMan Homura]].
* OneManArmy: During his days in the Disciplinary Squad, he decimated dozens of tanks with a single attack.
* OnlySaneMan: He's relatively calm and reasonable, in contrast to his many overly emotional and childish companions.
* ParentalSubstitute: Unlike other Sekirei, Mutsu behaves like Mikogami's parent figure rather than a lover. Mikogami even calls him out on how Mutsu acts like he was his mom.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: He gives Akitsu a piece of clothing to cover her chest after her kimono was torn [[spoiler:in her fight against Sanada's second Sekirei trio]].
* {{Samurai}}: Heavily invokes this aesthetic, being a noble MasterSwordsman devoted to a wealthy master.
* SarcasticDevotee: He frequently complains about Mikogami, but is willing to kill for him in a heartbeat. The only orders he won't carry out are the ones that [[KnowWhenToFoldEm will endanger]] Mikogami.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: He wears a yellow scarf around the neck and being one of the first five Sekirei makes him one of the most powerful.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Mikogami's Sensitive Guy. Mutsu is a powerful swordsman who doesn't show much emotion, in contrast to his childish and spoiled NonActionGuy Ashikabi.
* ServileSnarker: He's quick to call his Ashikabi Mikogami on his [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny mistakes]].
* ShockwaveStomp: Uses his [[SwordPlant scabbard]] to smash the ground, suggesting that he may have [[DishingOutDirt earth-related]] powers.
* TheStoic: He never loses his cool and his default facial expression is a distant gaze.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Though normally distant and cold, he reveals gentler side to himself towards Mikogami who he cares deeply about.
* SuperPrototype: He's one of the super powerful first five Sekirei models who were given special adjustments by Takehito.
* {{Tsundere}}: He generally acts like an annoyed babysitter towards Mikogami, but faithfully recognizes him as his Ashikabi.
* WouldntHitAGirl: He states he's got no interest in killing girls. This ''would'' put him at a serious disadvantage, since almost all Sekirei are female......but his strength means he rarely has to fight seriously.
* YouAreNumberSix: #05

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akitsu_4614.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuKobayashi (JP), Jenny Jaffe (EN)

A Sekirei that was discarded, after her tuning failed. She is not considered officially part of the Sekirei Plan, but considers Mikogami her master after he took her in. Quiet and subdued, she often forgets to wear her underwear but is one of Mikogami's most trusted and powerful Sekirei alongside Mutsu.

'''Ashikabi:''' Hayato Mikogami (unofficially)
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: The front of her kimono is almost completely open, exposing most of her breasts.
* AdaptationDyeJob: She has white hair in the manga as opposed to the melon hair color from the anime.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: While the MBI scientists deemed her a disposable failure, Mikogami saw the value in her "rareness" and took her in as his Sekirei even though he can't officially become her Ashikabi. That's why Akitsu swore loyalty to him.
* BloodSplatteredInnocents: Escaped MBI wearing nothing but a lab coat and a man's shirt, splattered in blood. [[TheDogBitesBack It was not her own blood]].
* BrokenAngel: She was deemed a failed product of the Sekirei Plan because her modifier messed up and her Sekirei crest is on her forehead instead of her back, meaning she can never be winged by an Ashikabi. [[spoiler:Near the end of the series, Akitsu can finally be winged through the miracle of ThePowerOfLove.]]
* BrokenBird: Being rejected as a failure by MBI's scientists made her nearly emotionless. She's terrified Mikogami could throw her away too if she ever fails him, but fortunately her master cares about his Sekirei too much to ever do that.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: [[spoiler: ''This is the ice of my pledge.... shatter the misfortunes of my Ashikabi!'']]
* ChainedByFashion: She wears a chain around her neck and uses it to hold her kimono shut. [[spoiler: It shatters just prior to her finally being emerged]].
* TheChampion: She lives for her Ashikabi, and for her fellow Southern Sekirei.
* CombatPragmatist: She's very practical, using her environment and powers to her advantage. She also knows when to bow out of a hopeless battle.
* DarkChick: Humble and soft-spoken, in contrast to Mikogami's many loud, obnoxious Sekirei. She's also a LadyOfBlackMagic as opposed to his many weapon users.
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:She declares her love for Mikogami, who has become her official Ashikabi, and asks him to take care before she uses a suicide attack to terminate Nishi's deadly Sekirei trio.]]
* ElementalHair: In the manga, she has white hair to go along with her ice powers.
* ElementalRivalry: Due to being an [[AnIcePerson ice-type]] Sekirei, she fights the [[PlayingWithFire fire-type]] Homura when he confronts Mikogami's group. Amusingly, Homura complains that their fight can't really go anywhere when their elemental attacks only cancel each other.
* EmotionlessGirl: She has a calm, seemingly-emotionless demeanor.
* EtherealWhiteDress: She evokes the classic image of a Japanese ghost, clad in a white kimono and surrounded by a supernatural chill.
* FacialMarkings: The Sekirei crest is on her forehead, rather than on her back.
* FateWorseThanDeath: She can never be emerged, the very thing all Sekirei are born to experience. She seems resigned to this, but expresses that she is jealous of Homura because it's a possibility for him.
* FreakinessShame: How Mikogami won her over. When she protested that as a Scrapped Number, she was broken and worthless, he stated it didn't matter....and instead made her special and rare.
* GoingCommando: It's usually only because she forgets to wear panties, not necessarily by choice.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Before she sacrifices herself to protect Mikogami, she smiles to her master for the first time.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She performs a suicide attack to save Mikogami and Mutsu from Sanada's deadly Sekirei trio.]]
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Akitsu's main wish is to find someone who will love and care for her.
* IOweYouMyLife: When she had lost all hope in life because she could never have an Ashikabi, Mikogami gave her a home and companions. Even though she isn't officially his Sekirei, she would even die to protect her master who saved her. [[spoiler:And in the end, she does terminate herself to protect him.]]
* AnIcePerson: She has the power to create ice.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Her kimono is barely held closed by her obi and chains.
* KillingInSelfDefense: She apparently killed her modifier when he blamed her for Takami firing him and tried to strangle her to death.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Knows when to retreat from a fight which Mitsuha didn't.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: A graceful fighter using her elemental powers.
* LimitBreak: [[spoiler: Hishoku (''Ice Erosion'')]]
* LuckySeven: [[spoiler: Subverted. She was originally Sekirei #7, but her modifications went wrong and she was discarded as a failure.]]
* MarkOfShame: The location of her crest marks her as a Discarded Number. [[spoiler: It vanishes when the strength of her feelings make emergence possible.]]
* TheQuietOne: She rarely speaks, and when she does, her voice remains soft.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Her reaction to Homura seeing she isn't wearing panties is an indifferent "Oh, forgot to put them on."
* TheStoic: Her facial expression very rarely changes from a melancholic and distant gaze.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Beneath her cool exterior, she's actually kind and gentle. These glimpses primarily show when interacting with her companions.
* SuperpowerMeltdown: [[spoiler: Being emerged and using her Norito causes her to overload.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Terminates Chiyo, Hatae, and Yuna with her Norito, overloading herself in the process]].
* TragicIceCharacter: She's the only Sekirei with ice powers and she was unfortunately discarded of the Sekirei Plan because her Sekirei crest didn't appear on her back. Her modifier was fired from the project for ruining a Sekirei and he tried to kill her, but she managed to escape and wandered on the streets until Mikogami took her in.
* TrueCompanions: She feels this way about her comrades, and it seems the feeling may be mutual.
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite being discarded, she's ever loyal to her would-be Ashikabi.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In the manga at least, Akitsu is depicted of having white hair but she's far from evil and just followed Mikogami's orders.
* YouAreNumberSix: [[spoiler: #07]]

* CombatStilettos: Wearing high heels doesn't inconvenience her during her fight against Musubi.
* DefeatByModesty: Completely lowers her guard when she suffers ClothingDamage.
* DepravedBisexual: Clearly in love with her male Ashikabi, but [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence really enjoys]] stripping Musubi.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Extremely perverted, but seems to believe AllMenArePerverts. Hikari and Hibiki call her on it.
* MeaningfulName: "Yo" and "Mi" are alternate pronunciations for the numbers four and three in Japanese, respectively, which ties in with her being number 43.
* NoblewomansLaugh: She engages in this, while mocking others.
* RazorWind: Firing wind blades is one of the powers of her scythe.
* RichBitch: She's convinced she's better than everyone else, due to her Ashikabi's wealth.

* ThanksForTheMammary: By Minato, naturally.

[[folder:Mitsuha #38 and Mitsuki #39]]

Two of Mikogami's Sekirei who are identical to each other in appearance and personality.

'''Ashikabi:''' Hayato Mikogami

!!Both
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: It's never explicitly stated that they're twins, but they look the same and are sequential numbers like Hikari and Hibiki, so they might as well be.
* DumbBlonde: Both are blondes and lack lots of common sense.

* RazorFloss: She uses multiple wires made by the MBI to constrict her opponents.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She functions as Mitsuha's replacement in Mikogami's faction after Mitsuha's termination and she's identical to her predecessor, both in personality and appearance.
* TooDumbToLive: Using metal wires to fight Sekirei with [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] powers? Not smart.

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Himeko_251.png]]

One of Mikogami's Sekirei, first appearing during the 3rd stage. She expresses sympathy for Hikari and Hibiki's difficult life, but proves to be quite violent and even slightly cruel in battle. She wields a special, double-sided blade as her weapon.

'''Ashikabi:''' Hayato Mikogami
----
* BigSisterInstinct: Despite Sanada's lovelies annoying her so much, she can't stand to see the three young girls being attacked and asks for her Norito to help them.
* BloodKnight: She's thrilled at the idea of slicing up her foes.
* ButtMonkey: In several of her scenes, Sanada's lovelies chase after her to flip her skirt and see her panties, to Himeko's annoyance.
* CuteAndPsycho: She smiles sweetly while offering to cut people in half.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She feels so sorry for poor Hikari and Hibiki. That's why she's going to kill them.
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: She's a young girl wielding a large, double sided blade.

!Eastern Territory
[[folder:General]]
* BodyguardBabes: Higa's Sekirei serve as his bodyguards. [[spoiler:After the end of the Sekirei Plan, Higa's Sekirei who choose to stay loyal to him are still working as his personal bodyguards.]]
* CheatersNeverProsper: The group as a whole won't hesitate to blackmail or cheat to win, which ends up usually biting them in the ass when Minato's group outsmarts them.
* DysfunctionJunction: The group as a whole are very messed up with Higa's spiteful and manipulative behavior. None of his Sekirei are capable of getting along, have poor communication with each other and do not work well together in a fight.
* EvilCounterpart: To Minato's own group of Sekirei. While Higa's group are largely dysfunctional due to his cruel behavior, Minato and his group are TrueCompanions who love each other like family. Higa has nearly twice as many Sekirei while Minato has 6. Higa and his Sekirei won't hesitate to cheat or blackmail others to do his bidding, while Minato and his fight honorable and value fairness. Higa's Sekirei do not fight well together while the teamwork with Minato's are near flawless in combat. Higa has his family's company and is rich, while Minato's group just struggles to get by at the Izumo Inn. Due to Higa's LackOfEmpathy, his Sekirei's strength is held back because of his poor bond with them, while Minato's [[ThePowerofLove undying love]] for his Sekirei makes them extremely powerful and usually defeat Higa's in combat. Higa's Sekirei are afraid of him due to their fear of failing him, while Minato's are completely devoted to and love him with all their heart. [[spoiler: Upon the series end, almost half of Higa's Sekirei leave him due to secretly hating him, while Minato's stay loyally by his side and are HappilyMarried to him upon Musubi's return from Kouten.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: After Kouten is gone, many of Higa's Sekirei, who have been revived thanks to Musubi, understandably leave him due to the cruel behavior he did to them and how he forced them to be winged by him. The only ones who stayed are the more loyal ones and due to seeing him trying to be better them them afterwards.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Higa's Sekirei do not work well together, largely due to their fear of failing him. It's also largely due to their tendency to rely on underhanded tactics that leads to their defeat at the hands of Minato's group.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Any time one of Higa's Sekirei fail him, he either leaves them behind or seriously hurts them as punishment. Mikogami himself even wonders if Higa even hates his Sekerei for his abuse towards them.

The Ashikabi of the East, and the head of a powerful pharmaceutical company. He is extremely ambitious, cunning, and ruthless to the point that he treats his own Sekirei as disposable tools. Using his influence, he blackmails Uzume into serving him and bribes other Ashikabi into serving him. He opposes the Sekirei Plan, and seeks to undermine [[MegaCorp MBI's]] authority.

'''Sekirei:''' Toyotama, Ichiya, Oriha, Katsuragi, Shi, Sai, Kaie, Oshino, Kujou, Kaiha, and two unnamed.
----
* AbductionIsLove: He is one of the Ashikabi that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything forcefully]] wings Sekirei, though he makes it clear love isn't even on the table. He also [[spoiler: kidnaps Yukari and intends to marry her]]. It doesn't work out as he'd planned.
* AmbitionIsEvil: He's by far the most ambitious character, and [[KickTheDog kicks many a dog]] along the way towards his goal.
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: He holds Yukari hostage, while proposing marriage to her. It is, of course, all a plot to take advantage of who her parents are. When Yukari realizes how stupid the whole situation is, she sets fire to his penthouse and smashes a window so she and Shiina escape.
* AppealToForce: Prompted by Mikogami's [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech harsh advice]], uses his Sekirei to perform a hostile takeover of his family's company.
-->'''Higa:''' ''I'm taking over this company by force. Tell that to the old farts. From now on, I do as I want.''
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Receives several from Mikogami during his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. It forces him to completely re-evaluate his methods and leads to a PetTheDog moment and the hostile takeover of his company.
* BadBoss: Treats his Sekirei as {{Mooks}}, making it clear that they are completely disposable to him. [[spoiler: Toyotama's defeat seems to have made him finally realize his failings as an Ashikabi.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: Yukari felt charmed by his pretty boys looks the first time they meet.
* BodyguardBabes: Toyotama and Ichiya often act as his bodyguards.
* CheatersNeverProsper: Higa engages in a variety of schemes to defeat MBI and Minato, including blackmailing Uzume [[spoiler: and Shiina]] into working for him, kidnapping [[spoiler: Yukari with the intention of forcing her to marry him]], and stealing the Jinki from others. This eventually leads [[FairPlayVillain Mikogami]] to [[EnemyMine step in]], as well as triggering his VillainousBreakdown after [[spoiler: Minato's team rescues Chiho, terminates four of his Sekirei, Uzume betrays him, ''and'' Yukari sets fire to his penthouse before escaping with Shiina]]. Even though he's one of the last Ashikabi standing, he's completely outmatched by the others and has essentially lost all his former edge.
* ConsummateLiar: Deception is one of his favorite tools, and he plays his various pawns like fiddles.
* CombatPragmatist: He's so dirty he won't hesitate to hold others as hostage so long as he can win at anything.
* CorporateWarfare: His company is TheRival to the primary company, and counters their actual private army with an army of Sekirei.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: To the t.
* DiabolicalMastermind: He tries to be this, but is ultimately out-witted by various parties.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He views his Sekirei as pawns for his ambitions and is unable to understand why Minato would care for his to the point he'd put his life on the line to protect them. In his eyes, he finds it unprofessional to be on the front lines and would have his Sekirei do his work for him.
* EvilCounterpart: To Minato. As while Minato struggles with money half the time and is trying to get by, Higa owns his family's company and is very wealthy. Minato has a total of 6 Sekirei, while Higa has nearly twice as many. Minato's Sekirei are all very powerful largely due to their strong bond and how much they care for each other due to Minato's love for them, Higa's are held back due to his LackOfEmpathy and due to his cruel behavior and using them to further his ambitions and they lose against Minato's group quite often. Minato is usually timid but is a kind and selfless man, Higa is cold, cruel and selfish who only seems to care about himself more than anything.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He usually introduces himself in a very polite manner, often seeming like a reasonable and friendly individual. But he quickly drops this, in favor of showing just how ruthless and cruel he can be.
* GracefulLoser: Implied, surprisingly enough. While he doesn't have any lines in the final chapters, he seemingly abandons all thoughts of vengeance against Minato, and seemingly starts running his company honestly and above board.
* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler: He greatly resents Minato, convinced that the other has benefited so much from his father's position as Gamemaster. Even when he learns Minato was unaware of his father's identity and obtained everything through his own efforts, he actually hates him more]].
* HumiliationConga: Goes into a board meeting. Comes out to learn [[spoiler: four of his Sekirei have been terminated, his hostage has been rescued, his blackmailed assassin has been terminated, and to top it off? The girl he'd kidnapped with the intention of forcing her to marry him has set fire to his penthouse before escaping.]] He's understandably less than pleased by the news.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: He keeps his Sekirei under his thumb by forcibly winging them and [[YouHaveFailedMe discarding of them if they ever become useless to him]]. This ultimately backfires on him because it's his abusive and uncaring treatment of his Sekirei what keeps them weak since Sekirei gain their strength from ThePowerOfLove.
* IHaveYourWife: He holds Chiho and Yukari hostage to force their Sekirei to do his bidding.
* IWillFindYou: [[spoiler: Promises a defeated Toyotama that he will come for her someday, and asks her to wait for him.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Readily uses other people to accomplish his own goals, using Chiho's life to force Uzume to do his bidding and subjecting his own Sekirei to all manner of emotional abuse.
* KickTheDog: His manipulating of Shiina and Uzume to do his bidding holding their loved ones hostage is nothing short of deplorable.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him by his last name.
* LoopholeAbuse: During the 3rd Phase of the Sekirei plan when he brings in more Sekirei and claims it's not breaking the rules so long as they don't fight.
* MagneticHero: A villainous example. He regularly recruits other Ashikabi, often through his claimed goal of ending the Sekirei Plan and allowing all his followers to remain with their Sekirei. He's.....telling the truth about the first part, at least.
* ManipulativeBastard: What he does to poor Uzume and then to Shiina.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Oh, so very much. He's got the nice suit, the penthouse apartment, and the CoolCar to prove how wealthy he is.
* MeddlingParents: His family, as the senior board members of his company, ''constantly'' get in his way. This comes to a head when he's dragged into a meeting with them, and comes out to a HumiliationConga. He's beyond furious and declares his intention to kill them all someday.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Mean to Minato's Nice and Mikogami's In-Between. Higa is a {{Jerkass}} to Ashikabi and Sekirei alike, plays dirty by manipulating and threatening other players, and only sees his Sekirei as pawns he will discard as soon as they stop being useful to him.
* NonActionGuy: Implied to ''not'' be the case, surprisingly enough. Upon witnessing Seo and Sanada's BigBallOfViolence, he remarks that it's a good thing he took up boxing.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: At least two of the Sekirei under his command were there because of him [[HostageSituation using their Ashikabi]] as leverage.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: His heartfelt apology to a defeated Toyotama for being a BadBoss.]]
* TheRedBaron: "Higa of the East", since he holds control over the Eastern portion of the city.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Comes dangerously close in his grudge against Minato, losing an enormous amount of his Sekirei and much of his influence within the Game as a direct result.
* SharpDressedMan: His tailored suits and obvious fashion sense make him stand out from other Ashikabi.
* SmugSnake: Oh, so very much. He's the smuggest of the smug, but quickly loses his cool if things don't go his way.
* TheSociopath: He shows most of the traits of this, at least early in the story. His attachment to everyone, except ''maybe'' his subordinate Kakizaki is purely a facade, at best, and he sees absolutely nothing wrong with any criminal or outright abhorrent behavior, so long as he doesn't actually face any consequences, and ''if he does'' it's always [[NeverMyFault because of someone else]] [[MurderIsTheBestSolution who has to die]]. To wit, he has engaged in kidnapping, outright assault, assassination by proxy, hostage taking, threatening the life of an invalid in his hospital, with whom he had a prior legally binding contract for treatment, has actually engaged in murder (of his own company's board of directors and employees), attempted to murder both Minato and Natsuo using MBI's KillSat, and treated his Sekirei, who are strongly implied to be with him against their will as nothing more than expendable pawns, regretting their termination only because it inconveniences him, and absolutely throws a murderous fit when things don't go his way, even if it's a direct result of his own actions.
* SoreLoser: As he continues to be thwarted by Minato and his group he slowly loses it to the point he whines like a child believing that because Minaka is Minato's father is solely the reason he's gotten so far due to having so many powerful Sekirei with single numbers.
* TookALevelInKindness: The epilogue reveals that [[spoiler: he chose to allow almost all of his Sekirei to refuse being winged by him again, allowing for the ones that he forcefully winged to live their lives free of the memories of their time as his slaves while also allowing the ones most loyal to him faithfully stay by his side.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Higa made the mistake of thinking he could hold the "Demon Ashikabi" Yukari prisoner until she agreed to marry him. ''Boy'', did he get that one wrong. She sets fire to his penthouse on her way out.
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: He always wears a nice white suit. He's also an arrogant and manipulative Ashikabi acting as a major villain.
* VillainousBreakdown: The cracks are definitely showing in his cool exterior, and at this point he's lost much of his former bite. By the time of the end of the 4th stage, and Mikogami's speech and Minato ruining his plans he finally loses it to the point he's screaming at Minato over how he keeps him from achieving his ambitions.
* VillainousDemotivator: His Sekirei know they have ''two'' options: Victory or termination. Several have mentioned being told they couldn't come back unless they were successful.
* VillainousFriendship: Type 1. Kakizaki describes himself as Higa's OnlyFriend and states the two have been good friends for many years.
* WeHaveReserves: Tends to throw his Sekirei into battle, and makes it clear that he has no more use for them if they can't win.
* XanatosGambit: His participation in the 3rd Match, as if he managed to win he got a second Jinki. And if he lost, he still [[spoiler: only sacrificed his weaker Sekirei while gaining valuable information about his opponents ''and'' could still have Uzume steal the Jinki from the winner afterwards. When Uzume was intercepted, he still benefited by being able to order her to lead a direct attack on Maison Izumo]]. However, things eventually derail after a combination of TheDogBitesBack, the dropping of the DistressBall, Mikogami's [[EnemyMine interference]], and Minato running his own gambit. Cue his VillainousBreakdown.

Higa's personal secretary, and longtime friend.

'''Sekirei:''' Kochou
----
* ConsummateProfessional: Handles himself with utter professionalism, even in the midst of a Sekirei battle.
* TheDragon: Higa's secretary, and the field handler for all his Sekirei.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's completely professional, but just as much of a jerk as his employer.
* TheHandler: To Uzume, and all the other Sekirei working for Higa.
* {{Jerkass}}: He rivals Higa in this department. Which is largely how the two are actually friends.
* KickTheDog: Whenever Uzume tries to spend time with Chiho, he interrupts with a cruel smile saying she doesn't have much time left and seems to enjoy forcing her to do Higa's bidding.
* MoralDissonance: (Actually legal dissonance) Knowing he's an accomplice to aggravated kidnapping, and illegal imprisonment (both felonies) his immediate response upon seeing Higa's penthouse on fire is to rebuke Yukari "You set the fire, didn't you? That is a crime, you know." She immediately calls him out on it.
* NonActionGuy: Along with his Sekirei, who is an EvilCounterPart to Matsu.
* OhCrap: Has a rather large one when his usual SmugSnake tactics don't work on Yukari, and she breaks the plate-glass penthouse window before jumping out.
* OnlyFriend: To Higa.
* PragmaticVillainy: To the core, he's a pragmatist willing to take whatever measures are necessary.
* SharpDressedMan: In line with being a true professional.
* {{Sadist}}: While Higa's ruthless cruelty does have something to gain, Kakizaki's only goal in his actions is his own personal enjoyment. He interrupted Uzume's time with Chiho purely to tell the former that she "doesn't have much time left" to make Uzume suffer and outright cheered when Higa pushed Shiina over the DespairEventHorizon by making the latter think that Yukari preferred humans over Sekirei.
* SmugSnake: Seems his greatest joy in life is (as handler) to openly torment those already under Higa's heel. Case in point, telling a distressed Uzume "you don't have much time left" regarding Chiho's health, and he does so with a cruel smile.
* StoicSpectacles: Calm and composed, at least when he's not directly in the line of fire.
* VillainousFriendship: Type 1, as it seems he and Higa are genuinely good friends that care for the others well being.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KisshoTaniyama (JP), Charles Baker (EN)

The Ashikabi of the West. Though a hot-tempered and violent biker, he is actually a good person that deeply cares for his trio of Sekirei. After befriending Seo, he is convinced to become another of Minato's ally and supports him during the 4th match. He is something of a pervert, and seems to develop a crush on almost every woman he meets.

'''Sekirei:''' Kuzuri, Kujika, Shijime, Chiyo, Yuna, and Hatae
----
* AmazonBrigade: The South and East Ashikabi each had a dozen or more Sekirei under their command. Minato has six, almost all of which are Single Numbers. And Sanada, the fourth Ashikabi that controls territory in the city? He's got ''three'', but is still considered a threat by the others. [[spoiler: This is because he actually has ''six'' Sekirei, and his concealed Sekirei are ruthless and powerful low-digits]].
* AmazonChaser: Thinks Miya's strength makes her even ''more'' attractive.
* AmusingInjuries: Prone to these almost as much as Seo.
* BadassBiker: Pretty much his thing.
* BadassNormal: He fights right alongside his Sekirei.
* {{Bishonen}}: In a manly kind of way.
* BoisterousBruiser: Rather loud but tough in a fight.
* ChivalrousPervert: He's much like Seo in this regard.
* ComedicSociopathy: Again like Seo since their violence is often PlayedForLaughs.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Becomes good friends with Seo once they finish beating the crap out of each other.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Gets into a lot of fist fights. Start a major brawl in the anime to help Minato out.
* HellBentForLeather: His jacket and pants.
* HopelessSuitor: Considers Miya's [[TheMourningAfter devotion]] to her husband a bonus, rather than a negative.
* HotBlooded: The hottest of all! He shouts, throws punches, and emotes with the best of them.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler: In his battle against Mikogami, he reveals that he actually has ''six'' Sekirei. His real AmazonBrigade proceed to tear through most of Mikogami's Sekirei in moments, and are strong enough to prove a challenge to Single Numbers like Mutsu and Akitsu]].
* IdiotsCannotCatchColds: He proudly declares that he's never caught a cold. Mikogami thinks this makes perfect sense, pointing out the belief about idiots being immune to colds. Sanada...is less than amused.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may seem like a thug, but he's actually a pretty decent guy. At least, if you don't accidentally piss him off.
* LeeroyJenkins: Unlike Seo, his general strategy seems to be limited to "jump into battle and hit things". Because most Ashikabi are {{Non Action Guy}}s, this usually works out for him.
* LikesOlderWomen: THRILLED when he learns Miya is a "beautiful, older woman".
* MarryThemAll: Implied he marries his PowerTrio upon the series end. As for the more violent trio of girls he has, this is left ambiguous.
* MeaningfulName: Lampshaded, since "Nishi" means "West".
* MrFanservice: Bare chested and in leather.
* PipePain: Wields a section of metal pipe as a weapon.
* TheRedBaron: "Sanada of the West", which leads to confusion when he introduces himself.
* RomancingTheWidow: Even more thrilled when he learns Miya is a widow.

'''Ashikabi:''' Sanada Nishi
----
* AmazonBrigade: Strong enough to secure Sanada's place as one of the top four Ashikabi, with the smallest group.

* BadassAdorable: They're absolutely adorable, and also enjoy a good fight.
* BalancedHarem: Nishi showers them equally with affection, and it's clear all equally care for each other.
* BareYourMidriff: The three of them wear midriff-baring tops.

** Kujika: ''These are the elbows of my pledge, smash and clear the wall before my Ashikabi.''
* ClothingCombat: Shijime's Norito implies her sleeves are her weapon. Kuzuri also uses the pair of straps hanging from her top to parry attacks, showing they are strong enough to withstand blows from another Sekirei's sword.
* CloudCuckooLander: They're constantly off in their own world, and rarely see the seriousness of a situation.
* CombatStilettos: Kujika goes into the battlefield wearing high heels.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Kujika has dark skin and blonde hair.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Kuzuri and Kujika wear outfits that show off a lot of skin.

* TheDividual: Like Sanada's other trio, these three act and think the same.
* DualWielding: Hatae fights with two claw-knives.
* FashionableAsymmetry: The three wear pants with the left leg cut short. In addition, Chiyo has mismatching socks and Yuuna has mismatching gloves.
* LeanAndMean: All three are reed-thin, moreso than most Sekirei. And so vicious even their Ashikabi finds them frightening.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: Not only does Akitsu ''not'' react well to her comrades being slaughtered, but their vicious actions are the push necessary to allow her to finally be emerged]].
* RazorFloss: Yuuna's weapon is a wire saw.
* {{Sadist}}: They take great pleasure in slaughtering their opponents.
* ScaryTeeth: They have creepy shark-like teeth. Sanada doesn't like kissing them because it really hurts being bitten by those teeth.
* SinisterScythe: Chiyo's weapon is a massive scythe.
* SlasherSmile: All three of them constantly sport deranged grins while dishing out suffering.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: The three fight while wearing very revealing tops.

* YouAreNumberSix: #14, #17 and #20.

!Ashikabi

Humans with a special genetic trait that allows them to bond with Sekirei, a process known as "Winging".
----
[[folder:General]]
* BlessedWithSuck: Having a beautiful MagicalGirlfriend? Awesome. Having to watch her fight to the death against another MagicalGirlfriend, knowing the odds are stacked against you and losing means never seeing her again? Yeah, not so awesome. Little surprise that most Ashikabi are desperate to escape the Sekirei Plan.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Many Ashikabi experienced this in some form, prior to encountering their Sekirei. Minato and Haruka were both losers unable to find their place in the world, while Oosumi and Mikogami both experienced extreme boredom and acted out in an effort to fill that missing something. All Ashikabi find their purpose, and tend to undergo significant changes as people once bonding with their Sekirei.
* DevotedToYou: Sekirei are naturally devoted to their Ashikabi, to one degree or another.
* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: A Sekirei reacting to them tends to get.....''excited''. It makes for an interesting first impression.
* InterspeciesRomance: Almost all bonds are explicitly romantic in nature, and Sekirei often refer to their Ashikabi as their spouse.
* AMagicContractComesWithAKiss: This is how they wing their Sekirei.
* MagicContractRomance: The majority of bonds are exactly this.
* MagicKiss: Their main role in a battle is providing the kiss a Sekirei needs to activate their Norito.
* NonActionGuy: The vast majority of Ashikabi are just normal people. Seo and Sanada are the exceptions, and readily ignore that whole "no Ashikabi fighting" rule.
* PunyEarthlings: Natsuo points out just ''how'' vulnerable Ashikabi are during a Sekirei battle, and how easy it would be for one to be killed by accident if they were in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
* RedStringOfFate: Each Sekirei has a destined Ashikabi, that they are meant to be with. Powerful Ashikabi are capable of attracting [[BattleHarem multiple]] Sekirei.
* UnevenHybrid: Modern Ashikabi are the descendents of ancient Sekirei and their human masters, and are as a result not completely human.

[[folder:Kaoru Seo]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seo-kaoru_1831.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuyaNakai (Drama CD), Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi (JP), Creator/IanSinclair (EN)

The first Ashikabi that Minato encounters, Seo is a shady but kind-hearted man that becomes one of his most vital allies. His Sekirei are the twins Hikari and Hibiki, and he was once the best friend of the deceased scientist, Takehito Asama. This friendship allowed him to learn many secrets about the Sekirei, and also granted him a special ability that allows him to weaken enemy Sekirei.

'''Sekirei:''' Hikari and Hibiki
----
* AmusingInjuries: Seo always getting hurt by his Sekirei is usually PlayedForLaughs.
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: He winds up making four babies, all boys, with Hikari and Hibiki.]]
* BadassNormal: He's one of the few Ashikabi to get involved in the action, and can hold his own pretty well.
* BeadyEyedLoser: He's not unattractive, so much as scruffy and lazy as hell. When he tries to greet Kusano, she cries.
* {{Bishonen}}: Handsome, beneath all his scruff and bad attitude.
* BrilliantButLazy: To the absolute core.
* BromanticFoil: To Minato. He's a much more openly-perverted guy who is explicitly in a sexual relationship with both of his Sekirei, whereas Minato is a more CovertPervert who intentionally resists entering into such relationships with his own Sekirei (at least till the Sekirei Plan is over).
* ButtMonkey: To Hikari and Hibiki. [[spoiler: And his four kids who also have electric powers.]]
* CasanovaWannabe: Of course Hikari and Hibiki just won't let him.
* ComeBackToBedHoney: Attempts this on Hikari. She responds by electrocuting him.
* ComedicSociopathy: His shady antics are typically played for comedy, such as stating he's going to substitute a random cat for one he was hired to find.
* ChivalrousPervert: At least, he ''tries'' to be.
* DeadpanSnarker: He's rarely phased by things, responding with sarcasm and snark.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Once the fists stop flying, he forms a strong friendship with Sanada.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Aside from Minato (and Musubi and Sanada to a lesser extent) almost no one can stand him for his lazy and leachurous behavior.
* HarmlessElectrocution: Near constantly. [[spoiler: If it isn't Hikari and Hibiki, it's his four sons.]]
* HouseHusband: Surprisingly enough. Before Miya got the hang of married life, he was the one that handled all the domestic stuff for Takehito. Miya teasingly refers to him as an "adulterer" for keeping house for her husband.
* IronButtMonkey: The amount of times he's been electricuted would normally kill an ordinary man.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Beneath his tough exterior, he's actually a pretty decent guy and becomes one of Minato's most important allies.
* LastNameBasis: Almost always referred to as Seo by every other character.
* MarryThemAll: Considering he has two sets of twin boys upon the series end, it's pretty much confirmed he married Hibiki and Hikari by the time his sons are born.
* MrFanservice: Moreso than any other Ashikabi, he's often seen wearing a tight tank top and even has a couple shirtless scenes.
* PerpetualPoverty: He and his Sekirei are seen working but still never have enough to feed themselves consistently.
* PowerNullifier: His 'Matsurou Ashikabi' ability given to him by Takehito.
* PowerPerversionPotential: He tends to use his power to weaken Sekirei to grope them.
* TheRedBaron: "Worst Ashikabi"
* RunningGag: He's always seen getting shocked by his Sekirei or going to Miya for a free meal.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The manly man to Minato's sensitive guy.
* TheStrategist: He formulates the plan to help Kuno and Haruka escape the city. He also helped Minato to find Kusano when she first appeared. And in the end of Season 2, he's hired by Higa to break into MBI's headquarters and steal their company secrets.
* SupremeChef: Really! He's the one that taught Miya how to cook.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Check, check, and check.
* ThanksForTheMammary: Unlike Minato, he always does this on purpose and often gets zapped for it.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaAsumi (JP), Creator/BrinaPalencia (EN)

Minato's younger sister, a cheerful but violent girl obsessed with pretty boys. After becoming Shiina's Ashikabi, she promises to help him find Kusano and hunts other Ashikabi looking for information. This leads to her earning the title of the "Devil Ashikabi", making her something of an urban legend feared by other pairs. She is completely unaware that her brother is also an Ashikabi, and that Kusano is one of his Sekirei.

'''Sekirei:''' Shiina
----
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:After retiring from the Sekirei Plan due to finding Kuu, Yukari and Shiina return to action and defend MBI headquarters during the final battle.]]
* BigBrotherWorship: She does it without even knowing she does it. The majority of the reason she likes Shiina in the first place are because of his similar qualities to Minato.

* TheCavalry: [[spoiler: She arrives to defend [=MBI=] headquarters from a Special Forces team sent to capture the terminated Sekirei]].
* DaddysLittleVillain: Played with, since she's considered a monster by other Ashikabi. Yukari isn't exactly ''evil'', but she's certainly just as ruthless as her father and regularly hospitalizes other Ashikabi.
* DamselOutOfDistress: Held hostage by Higa, until she realizes she's holding the DistressBall and breaks out.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Though as she doesn't directly involve herself in action very frequently, she doesn't suffer from it nearly as much as Tsukiumi does from hers.
* TheDreaded: Undefeated, ''and'' noted to disregard the rules about Ashikabi fighting. It's stated she's hospitalized most of the Ashikabi that have encountered her. Ashikabi and Sekirei alike piss their pants and run away screaming when they find out she's the infamous "demon" Ashikabi.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: Oh, does she like looking at pretty boys and sexy girls.
* TheGlomp: Likes to do this to Musubi.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: She is often seen with these, and she is just as scary as Miya.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While she's a nice person and her motivations are heroic, her methods are extreme and relentlessly violent.
* GroinAttack: Her standard approach to men that piss her off is stepping on their balls with her ''high-heeled boots''.
* HasAType: She ''loves'' guys who have slender figures and pretty faces like Shiina.
* HeroicBastard: Like her older brother Minato, Yukari is a heroic character whose parents are unmarried because her mother refuses to take her father's name and raised her children on her own.
* HostageSituation: Ends up in one, with Higa using her to control Shiina.
* InnocentCohabitation: She shares an apartment room with her Sekirei Shiina, but they aren't doing anything more than kissing yet.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she's brutal towards her enemies, she's generally kind and empathetic towards her allies and civilians, ''especially'' Minato.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Like Brother, Like Boyfriend in her case. Yukari already loves Shiina for his {{Bishonen}} looks, but what attracts her to him personality-wise are his BigBrotherInstinct and kindness which remind Yukari of her older brother Minato's virtues.
* LovableSexManiac: She's pretty open about her interest in attractive people, and will go so far as to grope other women as a greeting.
* LoveAtFirstSight: She fell for Shiina from the moment she first laid her eyes on him because he's the type of {{Bishonen}} she's crazy about.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The masculine girl to both Minato and Shiina's feminine boys.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Being called the Devil Ashikabi discourages anyone from messing with her.
* NoEscapeButDown: Dives out of a window in a high-rise building to escape Higa, trusting that Shiina will catch her.
* NomDeMom: Yukari and Minato have their mother's surname since she never took the Minaka surname.
* NoseBleed: As prone to them as her brother.
* OfficialCouple: She and Shiina are dating in the epilogue.
* OppositesAttract: Yukari is bold, fierce, and ruthless in battle, total opposite to her Sekirei/boyfriend Shiina who is mild, sensitive, and hates violence.
* PluckyGirl: She rarely gives up, and her brief moments of despair don't last long.
* RedBaron: The "Devil Ashikabi."
* SacredFirstKiss: Given to Shiina, when she emerged him.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: After finding out that Kuu is with Minato and somehow managing to survive the end of the Third Stage, Yukari and Shiina decide they've had enough and exit the game via a raft as it starts the Final Stage.]]
* SecretSecretKeeper: Turns out Yukari has known all about who her father is since she was a kid because her and Minato's mother wasn't really that good at hiding the secret.
* SharedFamilyQuirks:
** Like her brother, Yukari is prone to having {{nosebleed}}s when having physically intimate moments with her own Sekirei.
** She and her mother make the same cartoonish devilish face when they're being scary.
* SiblingYinYang: She's outgoing and confident, but also incredibly ruthless and indifferent to those she considers to be her enemies, whereas Minato is timid and passive, but also an AllLovingHero who wants everyone involved in the Sekirei Plan to have a happy ending regardless of their allegiances.
* SkinshipGrope: She's often trying to cop feels on the big breasted women running around.
* SlasherSmile: Probably one reason why she earned her nickname.
* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: How she gained the title of "Devil Ashikabi".
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: If you even try laying a finger on her beloved Shiina, prepare for Yukari's painful punches or kicks.
* WifeBasherBasher: Ruthlessly deals with anyone that makes girls cry, which leads to hilarity when she [[spoiler: mistakenly believes Minato was mistreating Kusano and kicks him across the room, then threatens to kill him]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (JP), Creator/JoshGrelle (EN)

An Ashikabi with many things in common with Minato, including living in his old apartment. His sekirei, Kuno, is extremely weak and unable to fight, so he requests Minato's help in escaping from the capital. Though prone to mocking Kuno as weak and useless, he is kind-hearted and loves her deeply.

'''Sekirei:''' Kuno
----
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler: He decides to return to the capital during the looming final battle, determined to help Minato.]]
* CaughtTheHeartOnHisSleeve: Kuno did this to him when they first met.
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler: He returns to help defend [=MBI=] headquarters from a Special Forces team sent to capture the terminated Sekirei]].
* ChastityCouple: He and Kuno sleep in separate beds when they share a bedroom. Kazehana can deduce they haven't gone beyond kissing and thinks their "innocent love" is ''adorable''.
* DeclarationOfProtection: The reason he wants out of the Sekirei Plan is to protect Kuno.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: A letter sent to Minato reveals what happened to them after the escape. [[spoiler: They're happily living with Haruka's parents, after a vague explanation of them being engaged. His parents ADORE her.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: When Minato comments on how nice he and Kuno must be to be newlyweds, Shigi retorts that he doesn't want to hear that from someone who has a harem.
* NiceGuy: He met Kuno, because he couldn't bear to see a girl crying. His kindness inspires Minato to help him.
* NonActionGuy: Like most Ashikabi, he's not a fighter. That's why he runs into trouble when his only Sekirei can't fight either.
* OfficialCouple: He admits that he and Kuno are officially married in chapter 184 when Minato invites them over for a celebratory feast.
* OlderThanHeLooks: He's twenty years old, around the same age as Minato, but Minato and Seo mistake him for a teenager because he looks like a 16-year-old.
* {{Ronin}}: Like Minato, he failed the college entrance exam twice.
* ScrewDestiny: Was the first Ashikabi to successfully escape from the city with his Sekirei.
* ThisLoserIsYou: Has a lot in common with Minato when it comes to failure.

'''Sekirei:''' Kaho
----
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He helps Minato during the 4th match, to express his gratitude towards Homura for protecting his Sekirei in the past.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Back when he and Kaho were total strangers, Orihiko couldn't turn his back away when some thugs were sexualy assaulting Kaho.
* {{Foil}}: He seems to be a calmer, more well-informed, and proactive Minato.
* LoveEpiphany: At first, he avoided Kaho because he thought she was crazy for keep asking people if they were Ashikabi. When he saw her being sexually assaulted by some thugs, he couldn't leave her alone and stepped in to protect her even though he normally wouldn't have done that for someone else, making him realize he was in love.
* MrExposition: Provides Minato with information concerning the goings-on during the 4th Match.
* NiceGuy: Another kind Ashikabi, though he's a bit more clever and sneaky than the average nice guy.
* PlayfulHacker: He's skilled enough to breach MBI's databases, and has had previous contact with Matsu.

->'''Voiced by:''' [[spoiler: Creator/SaoriHayami (JP), Creator/AlexisTipton (EN)]]

The mysterious [[RedBaron Sekirei of Bonds]].

'''Ashikabi:''' None
----
* ACupAngst: According to Karasuba in an omake, Musubi's BoobsOfSteel are a manifestation of Yume's will as Yume herself was only a B-cup (although Karasuba says she was an A-cup wearing breast pads).
* AffectionateNickname: Karasuba called her "Yu-chan."
* AllLovingHeroine: Pure, kind, and personally driven to free the Sekirei from their sad fate. Her greatest wish, passed on to Musubi, is that all Sekirei will learn to love.
* AnimalMotifs: Flashbacks show her with a bird on her finger.
* BadassAdorable: Cute, sweet, and the most powerful Sekirei since Miya.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: She blocked Karasuba's sword with her bare hands in their first meeting.
* BequeathedPower: She gave her Sekirei core that is both her power and life source to Musubi, resulting in Yume's death.
* BlessedWithSuck: She had a perfect core and full crest that let her reach her full potential without an Ashikabi. However, this meant she could never experience the special bonds Sekirei and Ashikabi share, something she yearned for badly.
* TheCaptain: Of the second Disciplinary Squad.
* CurbStompBattle: She effortlessly defeated Benitsubasa and Haihane after being awakened by Minato.
* DeathOfPersonality: [[spoiler:For a long time, Yume continues to exist within Musubi as they have the same Sekirei core. After Musubi's Sekirei declaration to Minato, her soul has completely merged with Yume's core, effectively ceasing Yume's existence.]]
* DodgeTheBullet: She's seen dodging multiple automatic weapons AT CLOSE RANGE in the prologue of the anime.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: When she's in control of Musubi's body, her eyes' pupils change into a yin-yang symbol.
* GirlyBruiser: She's very innocent and girly, but a physical fighter capable of going toe-to-toe with Karasuba and Miya.
* FriendlyRivalry: She saw Karasuba as terribly misguided and became her biggest rival as well as partner so Karasuba would be less lonely.
* HeroicSacrifice: She gave up her core, and therefore her own existence, to save Musubi as a child after some invaders destroyed Musubi's own core.
* HolyHandGrenade: One of her abilities.
* IdenticalStranger: Musubi grew up to look exactly like her.
* IdiotHair: She had one just like Musubi, showing her innocence.
* ImmuneToBullets: Bullets couldn't even leave a scratch on her.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: Flashbacks show Karasuba was extremely attached to Yume and took losing her very badly. It's up in the air whether Karasuba's feelings towards Yume were deep respect for a rival, companionship, or romantic love. It's notable that Karasuba thought about Yume when she heard Natsuo talk about his dead lover.
* KamehameHadoken: Her punches could release the energy of her Sekirei core, creating a blast of light. This eventually becomes Musubi's Bear Paw technique.
* KungFuJesus: A Messianic figure that was the second leader of the Disciplinary Squad.
* LightEmUp: She appears to have light-based abilities.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Karasuba. Competing with Yume was her whole reason for living and she might have been in love with her. After Yume gave her core to Musubi, Karasuba intends to terminate Musubi so Yume comes back. When Musubi reveals that's no longer possible because Yume's core fused with her soul, Karasuba rips off her own wings and is terminated by Musubi. It's implied that Karasuba never wanted to live in a world without Yume, so she chooses to not wake up even after Musubi revives all the terminated Sekirei.
* TheLostLenore: It's heavily implied Karasuba was in love with Yume, explaining her current obsession with fighting Musubi who inherited Yume's core. Near the end of the manga, it's revealed the reason why Karasuba wanted to terminate Musubi was that she hoped Yume would come back to life.
* LoveFreak: She loved to preach about the importance of love and bonds between Sekirei and Ashikabi.
* MartialPacifist: Though the leader of the Disciplinary Squad, she despises killing because death is the ultimate destruction of bonds between people.
* MessianicArchetype: Yume was very special among Sekirei because she had both a Sekirei core and an Ashikabi core, meaning she was more powerful than winged Sekirei without need for an Ashikabi. Despite being this, all Yume tried to do was get Karasuba to understand the meaning of ThePowerOfLove. In the end, she sacrificed her physical existence to save a child Musubi who was about to die. Yume's personality remains dormant within Musubi and comes out to save the heroes in battle a couple of times. [[spoiler:In the end, Yume's consciousness is erased for good so Musubi can reach her full potential through her bond with Minato.]]
* TheRedBaron: The Sekirei of Bonds
* SharingABody: She gave her core to Musubi, and now lives on within her. [[spoiler:After Musubi's Sekirei declaration to Minato, Yume's soul vanishes from within Musubi.]]
* ShortHairWithTail: Just like Musubi, she has a bob haircut with a tail growing from the nape.
* SuperPoweredAlterEgo: The first time she takes control of Musubi's body, Yume can almost instantly wipe the floor with Benitsubasa and Haihane when Musubi just nearly got terminated by them. However, Musubi eventually grows even more powerful than Yume because of her love for Minato so Yume doesn't need to come out ever again.
* SuperStrength: One of her abilities is her incredible physical strength.
* SympathyForTheDevil: She was the only person who never saw Karasuba as a bloodthirsty psycho. Instead, she saw her as a lonely woman who tried to fill her inner void through endless fights without understanding what she truly needed was the love and warmth found in the bonds the Sekirei form with Ashikabi.
* TakeUpMySword: She charged Musubi and Kaho with defeating Karasuba, and freeing the Sekirei to find love.
* WalkingSpoiler: There's quite a bit of white in this article.
* WorthyOpponent: She was the only Sekirei who had Karasuba's deep respect because she didn't need an Ashikabi to reach her full potential.
* YouAreNotAlone: She was released initially and thus could do whatever she wants, but stuck to Karasuba in order to invoke this trope and thus forming the second incarnation of the Disciplinary Squad.
* YouAreNumberSix: #08

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: They are identical twin sisters. The only physical difference between the two is that Hikari's bust is significantly larger than Hibiki's.
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:After the final battle, Seo gets them pregnant at the same time and both give birth to twin sons on the same day.]]
* BareYourMidriff: Their {{Stripperiffic}} outfits reveal their midriffs.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''By the thunderstorm of our pact, our Ashikabi's perils will be destroyed.''
* ClingyJealousGirl: Neither of them stands to see Seo flirting with other women. Hikari is WAY more extreme about it, sometimes even just some wildly perverted comments Seo makes often result in a DeathGlare at best, or ElectricTorture at worst.
* CombatStilettos: They fight in high-heeled boots as suits their S&M styled gear.
* CruelToBeKind: The twins hunt and attack unemerged Sekirei, stating it's better to defeat them before they're able to find their Ashikabi as they believe they should protect other Sekirei from potentially being winged by a lowlife like Seo.
* DressedLikeADominatrix: Their combat outfits are revealing leather suits with opera gloves and high-heeled boots. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Minato who calls them the "S&M outfit girls".
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: The only ways to tell them apart are their bust sizes and the colors of their clothes (Hikari wears purple, Hibiki wears red).
* IdiotHair: Both have a small cowlick sticking up from their heads.
* LimitBreak: Kaminari (lit: "Thunder")
* {{Meido}}: They have a job that requires them dressing like maids.
* NoAccountingForTaste: They can't say anything in defense of Seo when people call him trash because they're painfully aware that's the truth. He's still their Ashikabi so they can't help but love him.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Hikari is short-tempered and violent, totally opposite to her twin sister Hibiki who is calm and gentle.
* {{Polyamory}}: Both twins are in a sexual relationship with Seo. [[spoiler:Both eventually give birth to Seo's sons.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Hikari is the hot-tempered, abusive, and dominant Red Oni, Hibiki is the calm, sensible, and passive Blue Oni. Ironically, Hikari favors blue/purple clothing and Hibiki favors red clothing.
* ShockAndAwe: Their elemental abilities allow them to generate electricity.
* SiblingTeam: They're twin sisters who always fight together and have the exact same powers.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Their battle gears are skintight and show off quite some skin.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: [[spoiler: Their sons can also generate electricity.]]
* ThemeTwinNaming: Hikari means "light", with her sister Hibiki meaning "sound". Or, thematically, "lightning" and "thunder".
* ThreeWaySex: Seo proudly declares he was late to the 4th Match because the twins "kept him up all night". The embarrassed reaction from the twins and Hibiki's pleas about children being present suggests he wasn't making it up. [[spoiler: It's more or less confirmed at the finale when it's revealed that his four sons were all born on the same day.]]
* WonderTwinPowers: Their [[LimitBreak Norito]] requires the two to hold hands in order to activate it.
* YouAreNumberSix: Their Sekirei numbers are #11 and #12 respectively.

* BuxomIsBetter: Seo tends to grope her over Hibiki for obvious reasons.
* ComicalAngryFace: She does it constantly.
* CuteLittleFangs: Bares them when particular angry.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Even Seo seems to agree with this being okay, and he's the one getting abused.
* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't take much to set her off.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: She'll berate and hit Seo any chance she gets, but you try to do it, that's your ass.
* RunningGag: Whenever she meets one of Mikogami's Sekirei, she insists that Seo is better than their "handsome, smart, and rich" Ashikabi. Hibiki notes this doesn't even count as SourGrapes.
* {{Tsundere}}: With the Tsun TurnedUpToEleven that's even worse than Tsukiumi. Hikari yells at, hits, and zaps Seo in nearly every scene they're together. When asked about her feelings for her Ashikabi, Hikari proclaims that she loves Seo "enough to kill him."

He is very soft-spoken and kind, and considers Kusano his younger sister. His powers are related to death, and he is known as the "Death God" Sekirei, with many urban legends surrounding him. While extremely powerful, he dislikes violence and expresses remorse for having to hurt others in battle.

'''Ashikabi:''' Yukari Sahashi

* BadassAdorable: No one expects such a cute, gentle boy to kick so much ass. Shiina eliminates most of his opponents without [[CurbStompBattle much effort]], and practically destroys Yashima in one hit.
* BadassLongcoat: He begins wearing a black one later on, to complete his "Death God" image.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: While his powers are death-related, Shiina is one of the purest characters in the series.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He thinks of Kuu as his little sister and is looking for her out of worry that she might be attacked by other Sekirei or abused by a bad Ashikabi.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's extremely pretty with an androgynous face, MUCH to Yukari's delight.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''By the corpse of my pact, my Ashikabi's burdens shall withered.''
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler: He returns to defend the [=MBI=] headquarters from a Special Forces team sent to capture the terminated Sekirei]].
* TheChampion: He fights for the sake of protecting Yukari and Kusano.
* CurbStompBattle: Almost all his battles are this.
* DarkIsNotEvil: One of the sweetest Sekirei around, not what you would expect from the Sekirei of Death.
* DisguisedInDrag: Yukari puts him in a dress when taking him around town, hoping it will conceal him from enemies. It doesn't work much.
* DoYouWantToCopulate: His attitude towards sex with Yukari. He's ready, and whenever she says the word, he'll comply.
* DraggedIntoDrag: Poor Shiina, most of the time he doesn't find joy in Yukari making him crossdress.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: An Ashikabi found it hard to identify Shiina as a boy or a girl because of how pretty he is.
* EarnYourTitle: There is a reason why he is known as the "Death God", despite being so kind-hearted. His powers are very destructive.
* EffeminateVoice: He's a girly-looking boy with a voice done by a woman.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Like Uzume, Shiina is forced by Higa to hunt Sekirei and jinki for a while because Higa is keeping Yukari hostage. Thankfully, Uzume talks him into escaping because his Ashikabi isn't helpless like hers.
* IGotBigger: He's slightly shorter than Yukari at the time of their first meeting, but stands taller than her by the end of the manga. His face is also noticeably more mature-looking. This is especially notable as it makes him the only Sekirei who appears to physically age in anyway on-screen.
* InnocentGrayEyes: His gray eyes signify innocence (and [[WhatBeautifulEyes beauty]], according to Yukari).
* InsecureLoveInterest: Higa seeds a lot of insecurity in Shiina in regards to his relationship with Yukari, as Higa claims Sekirei only ruin humans' lives and this means Yukari can only be happy if she marries another human. Shiina nearly believes this due to a misunderstanding with Yukari, but they later clear any doubts that they love each other and want to be together no matter their race.
* IWillFindYou: Determined to find Kuu at all costs.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: He and Kuu care about each other as if they were siblings.
* LimitBreak: World's End Garden, Death Wings
* MagicalBoyfriend: Just as Musubi did for Minato, Shiina is Yukari's Sekirei who drags her into his world of supernatural battles and makes her fantasies of living with a pretty boy come true.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The feminine boy to Yukari's assertive and masculine girl.
* MeaningfulName: Shi means "Death".
* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: ''Number 107, Shiina. I'm your grim reaper.''
* MysticalWhiteHair: His white hair hints at his mystical abilities.
* MythicalMotifs: The {{Shinigami}} symbolism is heavily tied to his character, powers, and reputation.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The "Death God" Sekirei.
* NiceGuy: He's a meek and polite boy.
* TheNudifier: His attacks leave his enemies completely naked.
* OfficialCouple: He and Yukari are dating in the epilogue.
* OppositesAttract: Shiina is mild, sensitive, and hates violence, total opposite to his Ashikabi/girlfriend Yukari who is bold, fierce, and ruthless in battle.
* PsychicLink: With Kuu, heightening the fact that they were pretty much designed to complement one another. Shiina and Kuu appear to sense how the other is faring, and are capable of knowing if the other is nearby.
* TheRedBaron: The {{Shinigami}} Sekirei, often translated as either "Death God" or "Grim Reaper".
* ReluctantWarrior: He'd rather not fight, if given the choice.
* RescueRomance: When he and Yukari first meet, she protects him from Mikogami's Sekirei who were trying to capture him. He quickly reacts to Yukari and asks her to be his Ashikabi.
* ShareTheMalePain: He cowers or covers his eyes, winching in sympathy whenever Yukari delivers her signature GroinAttack to a rival Ashikabi.
* ShoutOut: "World's End Garden", his first [[LimitBreak Norito]] shares it's name with a short story by the same author.
* StandardFemaleGrabArea: A rare male example. Mikogami is able to restrain him simply by grabbing his wrist, requiring Yukari to intervene and rescue him. This, after his first appearance had established that Shiina was already a powerful Sekirei with a TouchOfDeath.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: His time forced to work for Higa]] made him [[UpToEleven even stronger]].
* TouchOfDeath: His "Death Wings" technique.
* WalkingWasteland: The effect of his special abilities, in particular his Norito, is decomposing all matter around him.
* YouAreNumberSix: #107

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatomiAkesaka (JP), Creator/KateBristol (EN)

A weak Sekirei that wanted out of the Sekirei Plan with her Ashikabi, Haruka Shigi. Her power is a sonic scream.

'''Ashikabi:''' Haruka Shigi
----
* ACupAngst: Compared to the buxom Musubi, she feels completely plain and jealous over her figure.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:She returns to the capital to help when it's clear the final battle has arrived.]]
* BlessedWithSuck: Her sonic attacks are very weak and only are useful for distraction at best. Her Norito can be helpful as a support in battle, but she can't use it without vomiting blood and passing out.
* BloodFromTheMouth: She vomits blood when she overuses her Norito.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''This is a song of my vow, please light the path of my Ashikabi.''
* CatchPhrase: Whenever someone calls her a no-good Sekirei, she retorts "It's not no-good, it's Kuno."
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler: She uses her Norito to help defend [=MBI=] headquarters from a Special Forces team sent to capture the terminated Sekirei]].
* ChastityCouple: With Haruka. They aren't doing anything more intimate than kissing and sleep in separate beds when staying in the same bedroom.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Unlike most Sekirei, she's incredibly weak and clumsy. But she's cute enough that Haruka forgives her for being useless.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: A letter sent to Minato reveals what happened to them after the escape. [[spoiler: They've happily living with Haruka's parents, after a vague explanation of them being engaged. Haruka's parents ADORE her.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's a cute, nice, and (pathetically) harmless Sekirei with blonde hair.
* TheLoad: Even though she's a Sekirei, she's so weak and useless in battle that she requires her Ashikabi to protect ''her''. It's subverted since her powers are actually useful; it's just they're better suited for support. Using her Norito against the Disciplinary Squad most likely saved her and her allies, by giving Tsukiumi more time to arrive.
* MagicalGirlfriend: Though not very "magical", much to Haruka's disappointment.
* MagicMusic: Her Norito is a beautiful song that drains the strength from other Sekirei and caused Haihane to become so relaxed she began to fall asleep right there.
* MakeMeWannaShout: She has a sonic scream.
* OfficialCouple: By the epilogue, she and Haruka are officially engaged.
* ProneToTears: She often breaks into tears.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Her only ability is generating a sonic scream, which basically just hurts her opponent's ears, but has no offensive capability.

A strong and exceptionally skilled Sekirei, wielding a naginata in battle. Her Ashikabi is Oosumi Orihiko, who she found with Homura's assistance.

A long-time friend of Musubi, the two share a significant history and have promised to face each other in battle.

'''Ashikabi:''' Oosumi Orihiko
----
* ActionGirlfriend: Meeting her transformed Orihiko's boring life into an exciting one. Like many Sekirei, she's the one who does all the fighting because her Ashikabi is a NonActionGuy.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Homura once protected her as the Guardian, leading her to rescue his Ashikabi when they meet in the 3rd Stage.

* TheDogBitesBack: One of her major goals, after being [[KickTheDog tormented]] by Karasuba as a child.
* EarlyBirdCameo: We got a brief glimpse of her in Homura's flashback when he recalled the Sekirei he helped in the past. Her official introduction is several chapters later during the Third Stage's final round.
* FriendlyRivalry: Musubi is her dearest friend, but they promised the next time they met they would fight.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Karasuba stabs her through the chest.]]

* NaginatasAreFeminine: She's the very image of a proper Japanese lady, complete with her weapon being a naginata.
* NiceGirl: She's every bit as kind-hearted and sweet as Musubi.
* PaperCutting: To [[spoiler: ''Karasuba'']].
* ThePromise: That the next time they met, she would fight Musubi. When they meet pre-battle, they avoid facing each other so they ''technically'' aren't breaking the promise.
* ProudWarriorRaceGirl: She's proud of her warrior heritage as a Sekirei, and deeply honorable.
* RazorWind: Her primary means of attack when wielding her naginata.
* RescueRomance: Orihiko became her Ashikabi after he defended her from some thugs that [[AttemptedRape tried to rape her]].
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: She's terminated by Karasuba, after a particularly difficult battle.]]
* SpiritedCompetitor: The first few times, Oosumi was a bit frightened of how eager she is for a good fight.
* UnknownRival: Her main goal is fighting Karasuba and show her she isn't the weakling she used to be. Karasuba doesn't even bother to remember who she is, at least until their final duel where Karasuba realizes Kaho isn't so easy to defeat.
* WistfulAmnesia: [[spoiler:When she's revived, she shouldn't be able to remember her Ashikabi. However, she's overcome with emotions when she meets Orihiko again and senses her bond with him even though she was forcibly winged by someone else.]]
* WorthyOpponent: Mutually with Musubi, and hopes to be viewed as this by Karasuba.
* WouldntHurtAChild: She states that even though Kusano is a fellow Sekirei, attacking her is completely off-limits due to her age.
* YamatoNadeshiko: She evokes the image through her appearance, choice of weapon, and dance-themed attacks.
* YouAreNumberSix: #87

An Ashikabi that approaches Minato during the 3rd Stage, and proposes a mass escape attempt. However, he is cold-hearted towards the plight of other pairs and even mocks those he defeated in the past. After mocking Haruka and Kuno, his request is rejected and he is forced to flee when discovered by the Disciplinary Squad. Karasuba later terminates his Sekirei, and he is taken into custody.

'''Sekirei:''' Nanami

* FourEyesZeroSoul: He doesn't seem to have much compassion or sympathy for others.

* {{Jerkass}}: He's such an asshole that Minato refuses to help him and his Sekirei escape.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He had his fun bullying weaker Sekirei and Ashikabi, but the moment the game gets too hard for him, he asks Minato to bail him out only for Minato to refuse. Karma gets him in the form of Karasuba, who hunts him down.

* PerkyGoth: She's initially energetic while wearing a black gothic fashion dress, though becomes more subdued once Amebane takes the lead.

* BattleAura: Uses his to [[KickTheDog knock]] his Ashikabi out of the way.

* TheCoatsAreOff: He wears a coat over his fighting gear, which makes him look [[BlatantLies incredibly innocent]].
* CuteBruiser: In looks only, as his personality is ''horrible''.

* LimitBreak: Megafist
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: He smashes Yukari's boarding pass, which ends up [[spoiler: preventing Shiina from being terminated at the conclusion of the 4th Match]].

----

* ClassicalAntiHero: At the start of the series, he's a down-on-his-luck {{Ronin}} with no self-confidence nor courage. As the series progresses, he becomes braver and more heroic because he gains the will to win the Sekirei Plan and not allow himself to lose any of his Sekirei.

* ExtremeDoormat: Eventually subverted. Minato's often pushed around by his sister and mother, but stands up for his friends when it counts.

* BigGood: He becomes the biggest force of good in the Sekirei Project for having a lot of loving, very powerful Sekirei.

* ClassicalAntiHero: At the start of the series, he's a down-on-his-luck {{Ronin}} with no self-confidence nor courage. As the series progresses, he becomes braver and more heroic because he gains the will to win the Sekirei Project and not allow himself to lose any of his Sekirei.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: A few years after becoming the head of MBI's Sekieri project shows him occasionally wearing glasses and becomes much smarter.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She's a total moron half the time, but in a battle she's ''not'' to be underestimated and has grown to the point she can hold her own against the Discipline Squad members.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: When the others learn she was on the Disciplinary Squad a long time ago, Minato and the others (except Kazehana who was her squadmate) find it hard to believe this to be true, making Matsu upset stating she's strong just like the others in her own way.

* UnbrokenVigil: After the first battle against the Discipline Squad, an injured Minato wakes up at the hospital with Tsukiumi sleeping at his bedside.

* CurbStompBattle: To demonstrate was a former member of the Disciplinary Squad is capable of, after Kazehana was winged by Minato, Benitsubasa and Haihane didn't even stand a chance against her once she got serious.

** They both were part of the Discipline Squad 20 years ago and while Kazehana is still a fighter, Miya retired after her husband's passing.

* OneWomanArmy: As a member of the Discipline Squad, she effortlessly destroyed an entire squad of helicopters. In the current story, she easily sent Benitsubasa and Haihane flying with her powers after being winged by Minato with just one move.

* SmarterThanYouLook: She was on the Discipline Squad for a reason. Despite her flirty behavior, Kazehana is very perceptive when she wants to be. She could tell when Uzume was acting out due to her distant behavior and correctly deduced she tried to terminate her when her back was turned on her when changing clothes.

* LadykillerInLove: He's a very experienced and popular host at a nightclub. He got intimate with many women while trying to find a female Ashikabi, but his body ultimately only reacted to Minato. After the Sekirei Project is over, Homura doesn't return to working as a host because he already has Minato (and Homura's breasts would make the job awkward).

* QuittingToGetMarried: She quitted the original Discipline Squad when she married Takehito.

* StoryBreakerPower: As many have stated, if Miya ever became an active participant in the Sekirei Project, the game would be instantly over because everyone would be crushed by her. For the sake of keeping the story going, she must remain an AllPowerfulBystander.

* NietzscheWannabe: He casually wonders why Minato doesn't kill him, since doing so would eliminate the Discipline Squad and remove much of MBI's power over the Sekirei.

* StraightGay: Much to Benitsubasa's frustration.

* CoatCape: She wears her grey coat this way, as did most of the original Discipline Squad.

* MinidressOfPower: Her uniform as a member of a Discipline Squad is a black mini dress.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: As a member of the Discipline Squad, she enforces the rules, among which is "Sekirei can not kill Ashikabi." She has tried to kill Ashikabi on several occasions.

A pharmaceutical company that rose dramatically in prominence roughly twenty years ago, thanks to the discovery of the Sekirei. Utilizing the technology discovered on the crashed vessel, it has become an incredibly powerful company and owns almost everything in the capitol. With their own private military force and the Discipline Squad, the company has almost unlimited resources and command of the city. It oversees the care and maintence of the Sekirei, as well as forcing them to participate in the Sekirei Plan.

* NonActionBigBad: He's not a fighter at all, relying on his soldiers and the Discipline Squad to handle all violent matters.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The Sekirei Project indeed put the Sekirei and some Ashikabi through a lot of pain, but Minaka organized it all because he truly wishes to set the Sekirei free from the Kouten's system that trapped them. In the epilogue, Minato can figure out everything Minaka did was in order to save the Sekirei.]]

* AdoptTheDog: Invoked in-universe with his relationship with Mutsu, as he's explicitly compared to an "abandoned dog" that Mutsu picked up. In turn, his relationship with Akitsu is one big PetTheDog moment.

* AntiVillain: His later development makes him into a Type II, in contrast to his first appearance.
* ApatheticStudent: At school, he was bored out of his mind because he already finished his ''college'' education back in America. This is one of the reasons why he was all for joining the Sekirei Project when Mutsu found him.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: At first, [[ObviouslyEvil ruthless and cruel]] with his FaceFramedInShadow. Subsequent appearances portray him to be extremely cunning, but also [[{{Keet}} hyperactive]] and easily distracted by anything he considers exciting.

* HatesBeingAlone: Before the Sekirei Project, he was bored and lonely because his parents were always busy with work and his peers envied him for being rich. So, he's filled his home with as many Sekirei as possible. He hates losing his Sekirei because he's afraid of being left alone again and makes Mutsu promise to never abandon him.

* InnocentCohabitation: Shares his mansion with nearly a dozen Sekirei.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The In-Between to Minato's Nice and Higa's Mean. Mikogami is very much a SpoiledBrat who is not above attacking people to get his way and winging Sekirei by force after cornering them. Despite that, he treats his Sekirei as his friends and equals, hating when they get hurt or terminated because he doesn't want to lose them. He also wants to win the Sekirei Project while playing by the rules and will step in to stop cheaters like Higa from ruining the game.

* ShooTheDog: To Akitsu, telling her that since she's not really his Sekirei, she doesn't have to fight for him anymore. While she initially fears that she's being discarded again, he makes it clear that isn't the case.

A reserved and [[StraightMan serious]] swordsman, as well as one of the few male Sekirei. He is one of the founding members of the Discipline Squad, and now serves as the bodyguard for the Ashikabi of the South, Mikogami. More often than not, he serves as a voice of reason and attempts to keep his master out of harm's way, a duty that has thus far kept him out of battle. He is noted by his former allies as being a difficult person to get to know, but is deeply devoted to his young master and turns out to be surprisingly kind, even to his enemies.

* TheOneGuy: He's the only male Sekirei on Mikogami's faction and the original Discipline Squad. His [[WithFriendsLikeThese experience]] with [[BewareTheNiceOnes the]] [[LovableSexManiac other]] [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl members]] leads him to express his sympathy to [[StraightMan Homura]].
* OneManArmy: During his days in the Discipline Squad, he decimated dozens of tanks with a single attack.

* ParentalSubstitute: Unlike other Sekirei, Mutsu behaves like Mikogami's parental figure rather than a lover. Mikogami even calls him out on how Mutsu acts like he was his mom.

* BrokenAngel: She was deemed a failed product of the Sekirei Project because her modifier messed up and her Sekirei crest is on her forehead instead of her back, meaning she can never be winged by an Ashikabi. [[spoiler:Near the end of the series, Akitsu can finally be winged through the miracle of ThePowerOfLove.]]

* TragicIceCharacter: She's the only Sekirei with ice powers and she was unfortunately discarded of the Sekirei Project because her Sekirei crest didn't appear on her back. Her modifier was fired from the project for ruining a Sekirei and he tried to kill her, but she managed to escape and wandered on the streets until Mikogami took her in.

* BodyguardBabes: Higa's Sekirei serve as his bodyguards. [[spoiler:After the end of the Sekirei Project, Higa's Sekirei who choose to stay loyal to him are still working as his personal bodyguards.]]

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Shijime behaves like this, much to Benitsubasa's frustration and Haihane's amusement. That's right, her big sisters are the ''Discipline Squad''.

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:After retiring from the Sekirei Project due to finding Kuu, Yukari and Shiina return to action and defend MBI headquarters during the final battle.]]

* TheCaptain: Of the second Discipline Squad.

* KungFuJesus: A Messianic figure that was the second leader of the Discipline Squad.
* MessianicArchetype: Yume was very special among Sekirei because she had both a Sekirei core and an Ashikabi core, meaning she was more powerful than winged Sekirei without need for an Ashikabi. Despite being this, all Yume tried to do was get Karasuba to understand the meaning of ThePowerOfLove. In the end, she sacrificed her physical existence to save a child Musubi who was about to die. Yume's personality remains dormant within Musubi and comes out to save the heroes in battle a couple of times. [[spoiler:In the end, Yume's consciousness is erased for good so Musubi can reach her full potential through her bond with Minato.]]

* MartialPacifist: Though the leader of the Discipline Squad, she despises killing because death is the ultimate destruction of bonds between people.

* YouAreNotAlone: She was released initially and thus could do whatever she wants, but stuck to Karasuba in order to invoke this trope and thus forming the second incarnation of the Discipline Squad.

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:He and Yukari withdraw from the Sekirei Project after they find Kuu. They come back in the middle of the final battle to help protect MBI headquarters from enemy forces.]]

* CowardlyLion: Using her Norito against the Discipline Squad most likely saved them all, by giving Tsukiumi more time to arrive.

* TheLoad: Even though she's a Sekirei, she's so weak and useless in battle that she requires her Ashikabi to protect ''her''.

An Ashikabi that approaches Minato during the 3rd Stage, and proposes a mass escape attempt. However, he is cold-hearted towards the plight of other pairs and even mocks those he defeated in the past. After mocking Haruka and Kuno, his request is rejected and he is forced to flee when discovered by the Discipline Squad. Karasuba later terminates his Sekirei, and he is taken into custody.

* AssholeVictim: Such an asshole that Minato refuses to help him.

* {{Jerkass}}: So much so that Minato and Musubi flat-out refuse his request for aid.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In the form of Karasuba, who hunts him down.
* SmugSnake: He brags about prior victories, but sees nothing wrong with fleeing once he realizes he's got no chance of winning.

* TopWife: She ''really'' wants to be this, given she knows the other girls are all very beautiful, as since addressing herself as such causes the others to declare the same with Minato. She is however perfectly content if the others are considered concubines instead while she is the true wife. Sadly, they all disagree as Minato himself would rather treat ''all'' of his Sekirei as wives.

* WackyMarriageProposal: Once she accepts to be Minato's Sekirei, she claims him as her husband by swearing that only she can kill him.

* ChastityCouple: Minato ''is'' sexually attracted to his Sekirei (apart from [[TokenMiniMoe Kusano]]), but he's resolved to avoid sleeping with any of them until they've triumphed over the Sekirei Plan and ensured that they can be together forever.

* LetsWaitAWhile: Excluding Kusano and Homura, Minato's Sekirei ''really'' want to make love to him, but Miya will not allow any form of sexual relations in her inn and Minato's Sekirei are frequently thwarted by Miya and threatened to be kicked out if they break her rules. Even so, on one way or another, all the girls (except Kusano) have attempted to sleep with Minato, but he remains a gentleman due to respecting Miya's rules. ''After'' the Sekirei Plan is finally over, Minato will father children with all his wives (except Kusano and Homura), so it's safe to assume Minato's girls will have a healthy and sexual marriage with him.

* BigBreastPride: Musubi, Tsukiumi, Matsu and Kazehana all have large breasts and are proud of themselves for it. A running gag is that ''many'' characters comment on how endowed the girls are compared to other Sekirei's (as well as their jealousy that Minato has such beautiful women in his harem). A recuring theme of them is that they often argue who's the bustiest of the girls or who use thier assests the most. An OVA special features them measuring their sizes, with (in order of who's the bustiest) features Kazehana (B98/W60/H92), follow by Musubi (B97/W58/H89), Matsu (B95/W59/H91), and Tsukiumi (B94/W57/H88).

* CantHaveSexEver: Miya ''will not'' allow Minato or his girls having sex in the Izumo Inn. ''Ever''. Later strongly implied (and later confirmed) is not out of any malice, but concern for their well-being at the thought of any of them dying and not wanting them to get too close to Minato and having them suffer a broken heart losing any of them. Once the Sekirei Plan is finally over, and Miya is reunited with her husband, Minato and his wives (except Kusano and Homura) are free to finally have sex with him.

* EverybodyHasLotsofSex: Excluding Homura (prior to being winged), the girls ''really'' want this, but Miya will not allow any form of sexual relations in her Inn with Minato and are frequently thwarted by Miya and threatened to be kicked out if it doesn't stay that way. In one way or another all the girls (except Kusano) have attempted to sleep with Minato, but he remains a gentleman due to respecting Miya's rules. ''After'' the Sekirei Plan is finally over this is subverted, since Minato is confirmed that he will father children with all his wives (except Kusano and Homura), so it's safe to assume Minato's girls will have a healthy and sexual marriage with him.

** Musubi her large breasts and cute smile.
** Kusano primarily her cute eyes and feet.
** Matsu having good legs and a very large butt.
** Tsukiumi having a large bust and her panties being flashed a lot.
** Kazehana having long slender legs and the largest bust of all the girls.
** Homura having {{Bishonen}} looks and a "complicated" body.

* WackyMarriageProposal: Invoked by Tsukiumi, as according to the laws of Sekirei, when they are winged by an Ashikabi, they declare that as a form of marriage. This could explain why the others in the harem consider themselves as his wives. Regardless, Minato embraces them all as his wives.

!Disciplinary Squad
The Disciplinary Squad is a specialized unit used by [=MBI=] to enforce the rules of the Sekirei Plan. Their membership has changed over the years, but their purpose in eliminating threats remains the same. They are the primary antagonists of the series.

[[folder:General]]
* TerribleTrio: The Disciplinary Squad is formed by three Sekirei. Their job is to terminate any Sekirei who tries defying MBI or running away from the game. Kasuba is the deadliest one, while Benitsubasa and Haihane are more used for comedic moments even if they can be competent fighters.
* ThemeNaming: Karasuba means "crow feathers", Benitsubasa means "crimson wings", and Haihane means "grey wings".

[[folder:Chiho Hidaka]]
[[quoteright:126:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Chiho1_4290.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Sayori Ishizuka (JP), Creator/KaraEdwards (EN, as Janét Mason)

Chiho is Uzume's Ashikabi, and has been confined to a hospital since the death of her parents. Suffering from a terminal and incurable disease, she feels helpless to do anything for Uzume, who she knows is hiding something from her. Because of her condition, the owner of the hospital (Higa) is able to blackmail Uzume into working for him.

'''Sekirei:''' Uzume

* ChastityCouple: She and Uzume barely touch each other while being in a clear relationship. Justified by Chiho being bedridden. [[spoiler:In the epilogue, it looks like they have the chance to get more intimate now that Chiho is healthy and they're living together at Izumo Inn.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: A soft, light golden brown.
* DamselInDistress: Higa is holding her hostage at his family's hospital without her knowledge. If Uzume ever refuses his orders, Higa will have the hospital stop treating Chiho's illness, which would kill her in a few days.
* DisabledLoveInterest: To Uzume, her Sekirei girlfriend. Chiho is a wheelchair-bound IllGirl who is always bedridden. Because of her condition, Uzume is forced by Higa to do dirty work because he threatens to stop treating Chiho's illness at his family's hospital. [[spoiler:In the finale, Chiho's condition is cured by MBI and now can be with Uzume in perfect health.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: She's cured and reunited with Uzume in the finale.]]
* FriendlessBackground: She couldn't make friends before meeting Uzume because she was hospitalized from a young age.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Her room is filled with stuffed animals.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: Her parents passed away when she was young, leaving her completely alone.
* HostageSituation: The victim of one, and kept very much in the dark about it.
* IllGirl: Chiho is terminally ill, and constantly apologizes to Uzume for her failing health. [[spoiler:Chiho is eventually saved through Minato's efforts. But then Uzume sacrifices herself to protect Minato.]]
* TheIngenue: Sweet, innocent, and utterly kind-hearted.
* IntimateHairBrushing: Why Uzume wears some of her hair in a side ponytail? Chiho styled it like that for her.
* LipstickLesbian: The more feminine of the pair, though only because Uzume is an ActionGirlfriend.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She has no idea that the man who owns the hospital treating her is threatening to stop her treatment so Uzume eliminates Sekirei for him. While she doesn't know what Uzume is being forced to do to protect her, she can sense Uzume is very troubled about something.
* LonelyDollGirl: Before meeting Uzume, the only company she seemed to have were her stuffed animals.
* LoveAtFirstSight: When she first saw Uzume, she blushed and compared her to a pretty bird.
* NiceGirl: One of the few Ashikabi that is good to the core.
* ParentalAbandonment: Has felt lonely ever since her parents died. Uzume changed that.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: The only things known about her is that she's a cute IllGirl and Uzume's Ashikabi/girlfriend. It makes a bit of sense as Chiho had no family nor friends in her life before she met Uzume.
* SoapOperaDisease: Suffers from a vague disease that kept her wheelchair-bound.
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: She can't hold back the tears when reunited with Uzume in the final chapters.]]
* TokenYuriGirls: She loves Uzume completely, though their relationship is somewhat chaste.

[[folder:Haruka Shigi]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Haruka_Shigi_9181.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (JP), Creator/JoshGrelle (EN)

An Ashikabi with many things in common with Minato, including living in his old apartment. His sekirei, Kuno, is extremely weak and unable to fight, so he requests Minato's help in escaping from the capital. Though prone to mocking Kuno as weak and useless, he is kind-hearted and loves her deeply.

'''Sekirei:''' Kuno
----

* CantHaveSexEver: Miya ''will not'' allow Minato or his girls having sex in the Izumo Inn. ''Ever''. Later strongly implied (and later confirmed) is not out of any malice, but concern for their well-being at the thought of any of them dying and not wanting them to get too close to Minato and having them suffer a broken heart losing any of them. Once the Sekire Plan is finally over, and Miya is reunited with her husband, Minato and his wives (except Kusano and Homura) are free to finally have sex with him.

** He (indirectly) saved Matsu from her years of lonelyness and gave her a reason to finally be active outide her room.

** He mended Kazehana's broken heart and moved her with his love for his Sekirei and accepted her for who she is depsite her flaws.

** Musubi has no problems with Minato seeing her naked and (accidently) kissed Matsu without even flinching and enjoyed having Yukari groping her.

** Tsukiumi is mostly reluctant, but she's ok in allowing Minato to stare at her body or place his hand on her bare breasts to entice him.

** Tsukiumi was very aggressive and stubborn viewing herself and supperior towards others as well as considering herself as Minato's "legal" wife and the other girls as nothing but concubines despite them having been with him far longer than she has. After Musubi was almost terminated due to her negligence in not assisting them with the ordeal with Shigi and Kuno, Tsukiumi realized how petty she was behaving and took it upon herself to change for the better. She becomes much warmer and considerate of all the other Sekirei's feelings rather than her own and learns of her own limitations rather than denying them. In Sekirei 365 Days Without Her, she takes her role as one of Minato's wives very seriously such as doing all the house chores due to Miya's illness and refuses to be intimate with Minato as before out of respect till Musubi's return, a far cry from the previous EntitledToHaveYou behavior she had.

* ShipperOnDeck: One of the very few harems in which the main character has a harem and the girls in it are ''completely ok'' with him adding more members to his growing harem. Best shown after winging Kazehana Musubi was perfectly ok and even praised Minato in winging a fifth member. And later with the ordeal with Homura all the girls (even Tsukiumi) were ok in Minato winging Homura. As in a way, the group also can consider that they gain not just another love rival, but a family member.

* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: All of Minato's Sekirei were already turned on being around him, but even AFTER winging his Sekirei, most of them still get horny and want/find ways to get laid by him, they HORRIBLY fail thanks to Miya.

* GoThroughMe: Shields his injured Sekirei from attackers on multiple occasions, refusing to back down even from the very real possibility of being squished like a bug.

* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: Most Ashikabi get past this after the winging, poor Minato still has to deal with this.

* LoverTugOfWar: Often the target of this, usually involving Tsukiumi and Musubi.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Miya and Tsukiumi are usually the ones he's trying to explain himself to.

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: How they joined the harem is because Minato saved them all in one way or another. As everyone in the group comes before anything else.

* CovertPervert: Every single girl in the harem has shown perverted behavior's towards Minato in one way or another.
** Musubi has no problems in Minato seeing her naked and (accidently) kissed Matsu without even flinching and enjoyed having Yukari groping her.
** Downplayed on Kusano, but she seems to have picked up some of Matsu's bad habits which is not fitting for a little girl.
** Matsu makes no shy effort to try to "experiment" on Minato's body repeatedly or trying to sneak into his room at night.
** Tsukiumi is mostly reluctant, but she's ok in allowing Minato to stare at her body or place his hand on her bare breasts to entice him.
** Kazehana loves to dress sexually around Minato (sometimes even naked) and makes multiple statements in her desires to make love with him while teasing him on how she intends for it to be "intense" once they finally have sex.

* LustObject: Excluding Kusano who's too innocent to understand, and Homura who keeps his relationship with Minato cordial at best, all the girls are very perverted for Minato and very eager to sleep with him, only to be thwarted by Miya with her threatening to kick them out if they do so (at least till the Sekirei Plan ends for good). Matsu and Kazehana take the cake, being the most perverted of the girls. Matsu loves to pounce on Minato and try to "experiment" on his body via sex, while Kazehana loves to show off her body and use her assest on him in any way possible, going as far as to proclaim she and Minato will engage in "something wet and sticky" after a kiss (which is her way of saying sex).

* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: She doesn't remember anything that happens around her when [[spoiler:Yume]] is the one controlling the body.

* FriendlyEnemy: Insists her friendship with Kaho is ''really strong'', partially because they promised to fight next time they met. HilarityEnsues when they meet pre-battle, and are forced to hide from each other to avoid breaking their promise.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Tsukiumi. They both compete in competitions to sit next to Minato for dinner or to declare themselves as his official wife. It becomes friendlier after Musubi was almost terminated that Tsukiumi starts caring for her more. After Musubi's disappearance for a year, Tsukiumi, despite wanting to win, respectfully waits until Musubi returns to start up their rivalry again.

* KamehameHadoken: Her ultimate move named Kuma no Te (Bear Palm) lets her unleash a light blast shaped like a bear paw from her core. [[spoiler:Karasuba says it's a technique she inherited from Yume.]]

* ThePromise: She promised [[spoiler: Yume she would defeat Karasuba and free all the defeated Sekirei]], as well as promising Karasuba that they would be the final two Sekirei, and promising Kaho they would fight the next time they met.
* SharingABody: [[spoiler: Yume continues to exist within her soul, and sometimes takes control. After Musubi makes her Sekirei declaration to Minato, Yume's soul disappears from the core.]]

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Rather than give Higa the data he needed, she gave him a digital image of herself with her giving the peace sign as payback for getting Uzume terminated.

* TheGadfly: She just ''loves'' to mess with others. The best example is the time she screwed over Higa when forced to get the data to save Chiho which was shown to be a digital image of herself giving the peace sign to him letting him know she screwed him over.

* DomesticAbuse: Those water blasts pack enough kinetic force to send Minato flying, although she stops doing this later on.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's cold, blunt and a huge {{Tsundere}} with Minato, but she's a noble honest woman at heart who loves him dearly, and gradually grows to care greatly for the rest of the girls in his group despite wanting him all to herself.

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: For a while Musubi and Tsukiumi questioned what exactly she saw in Minaka given how much of an evil bastard he is. Kazehana, however, based by her speech about him in the past, suggests he may not have been such a bad person in the past prior to becoming the monster he is now. She never shows interest in him again after falling for Minato.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's cold and can be quite cruel at times, but is a noble and honest man who serves as a guardian of all Sekirei's due to his desire to see them be free.

* PurpleIsPowerful: Her signature color, in line with her mysterious and regal nature.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Even after 20 years she's never shown any other interest in anyone other than Takehito whom she considers the love of her life.

* SwordBeam: [[spoiler: Included in her signature technique back in the day.]]

* AmbiguouslyBi: While her and Minato are firmly LikeBrotherAndSister, her teasing makes one wonder...

* FriendlyRivalry: With Kazehana, whom she referes to as "Big Sis".

%%* AscendedFanboy: And ''how''.

* LaughablyEvil: While he's a shifty CorruptCorporateExecutive, it's sometimes hard to not get a giggle out of his hammy antics and trickster character.

* MegaCorp: MBI and his control over it and Tokyo.

** He gave Natsuo Benitsubasa and Haihane as a way to help him move on from his lovers death and find TrueCompanions in the two of them.

* YearsTooEarly: When Minato calls her out, she captures him and proudly tells him that he's "100 years" too early to do that.

* BoyishShortHair: Cropped extremely close to her skull.
* CleavageWindow: A bit of fanservice, for her (relatively) modest outfit.

* SleevesAreForWimps: Her bared armed as muscular and toned.

* FriendlyEnemy: To Minato.

* AllLovingHeroine: Pure, kind, and personally driven to free the Sekirei from their sad fate. Her greatest wish, [[spoiler:passed on to Musubi,]] is that all Sekirei will learn to love.

* BequeathedPower: [[spoiler:She gave her Sekirei core that is both her power and life source to Musubi, resulting in Yume's death.]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Effortlessly defeated Benitsubasa and Haihane after being awakened by Minato.]]

* ExoticEyeDesigns: When she's [[spoiler:in control of Musubi's body]], her eyes' pupils change into a yin-yang symbol.
* GirlyBruiser: She's very innocent and girly, but a physical fighter capable of going toe-to-toe with Karasuba and [[spoiler: Miya.]]
* FriendlyRivalry: [[spoiler: Towards Karasuba, who she sees as terribly misguided.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: [[spoiler: Flashbacks show her with a bird on her finger.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She gave up her core, and therefore her own existence, to save Musubi as a child after some invaders destroyed Musubi's own core.]]

* IdenticalStranger: [[spoiler:Musubi grew up to look exactly like her.]]
* IdiotHair: [[spoiler: Had one just like Musubi, showing her innocence.]]

* KamehameHadoken: [[spoiler:This eventually becomes Musubi's Bear Paw technique.]]

* MessianicArchetype: Yume was very special among Sekirei because she had both a Sekirei core and an Ashikabi core, meaning she was more powerful than winged Sekirei without need for an Ashikabi. Despite being this, all Yume tried to do was get Karasuba to understand the meaning of ThePowerOfLove. In the end, she sacrificed her physical existence to save a child [[spoiler:Musubi]] who was about to die. [[spoiler:Yume's personality remain dormant within Musubi and comes out to save the heroes in battle a couple of times. In the end, Yume's consciousness is erased for good so Musubi can reach her full potential through her bond with Minato.]]

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler:To Karasuba. Competing with Yume was her whole reason for living and she might have been in love with her. After Yume gave her core to Musubi, Karasuba intends to terminate Musubi so Yume comes back. When Musubi reveals that's no longer possible because Yume's core fused with her soul, Karasuba rips off her own wings and is terminated by Musubi. It's implied that Karasuba never wanted to live in a world without Yume, so she chooses to not wake up even after Musubi revives all the terminated Sekirei.]]
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied Karasuba was in love with Yume, explaining her current obsession with fighting Musubi who inherited Yume's core. Near the end of the manga, it's revealed the reason why Karasuba wanted to terminate Musubi was that she hoped Yume would come back to life.]]

* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler: Awakened within Musubi by the strength of Minato's love.]]

* SharingABody: [[spoiler:She gave her core to Musubi, and now lives on within her. After Musubi's Sekirei declaration to Minato, Yume's soul vanishes from within Musubi.]]
* ShortHairWithTail: [[spoiler: Just like Musubi, she has a bob haircut with a tail growing from the nape.]]
* SuperPoweredAlterEgo: [[spoiler:The first time she takes control of Musubi's body, Yume can almost instantly wipe the floor with Benitsubasa and Haihane when Musubi just nearly got terminated by them. However, Musubi eventually grows even more powerful than Yume because of her love for Minato so Yume doesn't need to come out ever again.]]
* SuperStrength: One of her abilities.
* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler:Charged Musubi and Kaho with defeating Karasuba, and freeing the Sekirei to find love]].

* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler: Her rivalry with Karasuba, which has been passed on to Musubi.]]
* YouAreNotAlone: [[spoiler: She was released initially and thus could do whatever she wants, but sticked to Karasuba in order to invoke this trope and thus forming the second incarnation of the Discipline Squad.]]

* ActionGirl: Meeting her transformed Orihiko's boring life into an exciting one. Like many Sekirei, she's the one who does all the fighting because her Ashikabi is s NonActionGuy.

* BladeOnAStick: A naginata, as befits her ladylike manners.

* ChildhoodFriends: She and Musubi became friends after an incident in their childhood were some rivals of MBI try to kidnap them.

* MagicalGirlfriend: To Oosumi, though he initially tried to reject her.

* NaginatasAreFeminine: She's the very image of a proper Japanese lady.

* UnknownRival: Karasuba even responds by asking who she is.
* WistfulAmnesia: [[spoiler:When she's revived, she shouldn't be able to remember her Ashikabi. However, she's overcome with emotions when she meets Orihiko again and senses her severed bond with him even though she was forcibly winged by someone else.]]
