History Literature / TokyoDemons

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Jo Oda, the street smart classmate of Ayase. His acquaintance pool has some of the same people as Ayase's (Kiyoshi being his roommate and Sachi and Kadoyuki being his classmates), and his [[spoiler: eventual admittion into Byakko]] help shed some light on the gang aspect of the series, which goes hand in hand with the supernatural elements. [[spoiler: Especially so, as he'said revealed to have a power of his own later on.]]

* AccidentialKiss: In Book 1, when Ayase and Kiyoshi are trapped together in a broom closet, they do this while she's struggling to break free and while he's barely conscious.

* DoggedNiceGuy: Sachi appeared to be this to both Ayase and [[spoiler: Kadoyuki]] during the beginning of [[spoiler: and before]] the first book , often trying to talk to them constantly and learn more about them. Not only do they feel it unnecessary, they (as well as Jo in one instance) outright tell him that his behavior is creeping them out, and he's forced to reevaluate his approach torwards them. [[spoiler: In reality, he was trying to help them by using his power to read their emotions, but it still came across as creepy.]]

* RealityEnsues: After [[spoiler: Jo]] joins Byakko, he's instructed to get a 'sign' of sorts (specifically, something white on his right wrist) to show he's in the gang. He settles for a plain white wristwatch so it wouldn't look too suspicious. However, some local thugs, a couple of classmates, and a policeman are able to quickly assume his membership. Makes sense, since the story takes place in a city with some pretty high gang activity.

** [[spoiler:Sachi]] can sense others' emotions when he touches them. It's pretty useless in fights and leads to a lot of awkwardness. It's most useful in interrogations as it make him into a LivingLieDetector.
** According to [[spoiler:Daniel]], powers like this one frequently lead to "more sexual partners than the average." So, depending on where one's priorities lie, it could be taken as HeartIsAnAwesomePower.
** Ayase's power can be seen as this to some extent. Essentially, she can break up into a swarm of injects, and if any part of her is injured in that form, it can manifest in her losing a limb. This doesn't seem all too great of an abilty, but she can use it for a variety of abilities, such as surveillance, getting out of chains, and even for biting the living hell out of her opponents.

* TheNapoleon: Miki, the second in command of Byakko.

* CoolTeacher: Priest Daniel Ozimek: Though not one of the empowered, he knows a lot about supernatural abilities in general and acts as a mentor to [[spoiler:Sachi]] long before the events of Book 1.

* BadassNormal: Jo Oda: Despite being one of the protagonists and POV characters, he's really just a skilled pickpocket with moderate fighting talent and excellent survival instincts.
