| 2 | |
| 3 | The clan to which Rikuo and his TrueCompanions belong to. Created by Rikuo's grandfather and later led by his father, the Nura clan rules over eastern Japan. There are about ten thousand youkai in the clan's ranks, divided into roughly 70 sub-groups. The group is kind of like a youkai yakuza, getting its funds from land gods who pay for protection (land gods in turn get money from offerings humans leave at their shrines) and members providing various services for both youkai and humans. |

| 9 | The group of Rikuo's TrueCompanions who support him as the candidate for the third Head. They form Rikuo's Hyakki Yakō, and support him during battle. Its members wear black jackets with the symbol for "fear" emblazoned on the back, which can only be worn by those Rikuo has acknowledged. The first members of Rikuo's group were his bodyguards. |

| 16 | The protagonist of the manga, Rikuo is a human-youkai hybrid and the grandson of Nurarihyon, the leader of the Nura clan. As such, he is entitled to become the third head of the clan. Since he is a quarter youkai, Rikuo spends the day as a human and turns into a youkai at night. His day and night form have a bit of a SplitPersonality going on, as they often have different opinions on many subjects, though it was more apparent in the beginning. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | As a Nurarihyon, Rikuo possesses power over the perception of others, allowing him to become functionally invisible or appear where he isn't. Additionally, his mixed lineage allows him to wear the "fear" of his followers, resulting in a FusionDance of sorts. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | He also makes an appearance in the smartphone RPG ''VideoGame/Onmyoji2016'' as a limited-offer SSR ''shikigami''. |
| 21 | ---- |
| 22 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: Downplayed. His eye colors are yellow like his grandfather and father in the manga. But they are red in the anime, but they were also originally red in the manga. |
| 23 | * AllYourPowersCombined: He later masters Matoi, an ability which was also used by his father Rihan, to absorb the fear of his youkai followers into himself and use it as his own. |
| 24 | * AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Initially, he claims he can't remember anything his youkai form does. After he faces Gyuki, he admitted to [[FakingAmnesia pretending to have no recollection]] to distance himself from the world of youkai. |
| 25 | * BadassAdorable: He’s a cute young boy who can still kick your ass if you’re his enemy. |
| 26 | * BenevolentBoss: He leads his group of Yokai and treats them as family. |
| 27 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Particularly as a human, he is all smiles and sunshine unless you make him pissed by hurting his human and youkai friends. |
| 28 | * BrutalHonesty: PlayedForLaughs. While drunk and [[CasanovaWannabe trying to flirt with Keijoro]], he also calls him out because [[CantSpitItOut he didn't spill what he feels for her]]. Kubinashi is shocked, Aotabo and Kurotabo shouts that was a low blow, but Keijoro actually finds it funny. |
| 29 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: [[JustifiedTrope To be fair]], this happened after he drank the ''strongest'' youkai sake. |
| 30 | * TheCasanova: Apparently [[CantHoldHisLiquor getting smashed]] turns his night form into this. And he targets every lady [[DudeLooksLikeALady (and one dude)]] in the vicinity, [[CasanovaWannabe though only few girls blushed because only a few attended]]. |
| 31 | * ChasteHero: He's mostly oblivious to Tsurara's and Kana's affections for him. He doesn't even seem to realize why Tsurara gets flustered when he licks her ice cream (as she thinks that counts for an IndirectKiss). An omake in the final volume does show him [[spoiler:trying to kiss Tsurara]] so maybe he will show more interest in romance with her later on. |
| 32 | * CheerfulChild: When he was a boy, it was hard to get him down. |
| 33 | * CoatCape: His youkai form wears his haori like a cape. |
| 34 | * {{Determinator}}: He will go to Hell and back to make sure all is done. |
| 35 | * DueToTheDead: When Danuki begs Rikuo to spare his son's life, all Rikuo asks for as a condition is that all the Shikoku youkai who were killed by Tamazuki should be given a grave to pay their respects. |
| 36 | * {{Hammerspace}}: A dramatic variant; where does he keep that sake bowl? |
| 37 | * HotBlooded: He does maintain an air of calmness, but it becomes more apparent the further a fight goes on. |
| 38 | * HybridPower: Like his father before him, Rikuo can use Matoi, a technique that consists of letting another youkai's fear possess his human half so his youkai half can use it as his own. |
| 39 | * IAmWhatIAm: A big part of his character arc is accepting his heritage. First, he must accept his youkai blood so he resolves to lead the youkai. Later, he must accept that his human blood doesn't make him weaker than full-blooded youkai. |
| 40 | * IdenticalGrandson: Rikuo looks almost exactly like his grandfather did when he was young. |
| 41 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: At first, he insisted all he wanted was to live as a normal human because he was convinced by his classmates that all youkai were bad and Kana told him he should become a great civilian. But as he realized youkai would still come after his human friends, he realized he needed to be badass and rule the youkai. |
| 42 | * InVinoVeritas: Becoming drunk makes him a flirt who wants some action with any pretty girl in the vicinity. Though he forgets what happened in the morning. |
| 43 | * InfinityPlusOneSword: Nenekirimaru. |
| 44 | * KidHero: He's the 12-year-old heroic protagonist fighting evil youkai. |
| 45 | * MagneticHero: Like his father and grandfather, one of Rikuo's greatest strengths is his ability to attract yokai to his side and make allies with almost anyone. The Tonou Yokai are a living example; when asked why they came to Kyoto with Rikuo in the first place, they stumble for an answer until Itaku being the {{Tsundere}} he is states that Rikuo wouldn't last in Kyoto without them. Though this is definitely true, you can see that that they already accepted Rikuo as one of their own. |
| 46 | * MrFanservice: As his youkai self. |
| 47 | * NiceGuy: He's a kind-hearted boy who wants to protect his family and friends. |
| 48 | * NighInvulnerability: Played straight earlier on, but is eventually subverted as tougher enemies appeared, beginning notably with Hagoromo's group. |
| 49 | * NighttimeTransformation: He normally can only transform into his youkai form at night, although he can transform during the day if he's at a dark place or there's a lot of youkai in the atmosphere. |
| 50 | * OlderAlterEgo: [[YoungerThanTheyLook Played with]]. While his youkai side looks older than his human side, he is ''still'' only twelve years old. This may have something to do with how a youkai is considered to be an adult when they turn thirteen. |
| 51 | * PerceptionFilter: His early fear makes him appear to be invisible to all those except the ones strong enough to see through it. When he learns how to better use the power, he adds decoys to trick his opponent with. |
| 52 | * PlayingWithFire: One of Rikuo's techniques is to ignite a bowl of sacred sake, and breathe lightly into it, causing fire to go everywhere. As long there are ripples in the bowl the fire will keep burning. |
| 53 | * PowerDyesYourHair: His "Offense" fear adds more black to his hair. |
| 54 | * PowerTattoo: By using Matoi, he gains a tattoo on his back that represents the youkai who has lent him their power. |
| 55 | * PowersViaPossession: The essence of Matoi. Another yokai(s) let their fear possess Rikuo's human half, tremendously increasing his power and being to use said yokai's special ability. |
| 56 | * ThePrankster: When he was a child, he enjoyed playing pranks on the youkai in his house. He grew out of it. |
| 57 | * PurelyAestheticGlasses: Rikuo has excellent eyesight. He wears his glasses to better establish his diligent human persona, not because he needs them. |
| 58 | * RaisedByGrandparents: While his mother is still alive, his grandfather takes care of him in place of his father. |
| 59 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes turn red in his youkai form in the anime and early manga. |
| 60 | * RefusalOfTheCall: Initially, he strongly refuses to assume his position as the third head of the clan. He eventually comes to accept it and [[TookALevelInBadass takes several levels in badass]]. |
| 61 | * SexierAlterEgo: While his human form is more on the cute side, his youkai form is a handsome young man. |
| 62 | * ShipTease: He gets quite alot of shipping moments with several females during the course of the series, such as Tsurara, Kana, Yura, and even Awashima (though the latter is just teasing him but she did admit to liking Rikuo, of course not romantically). |
| 63 | * SplitPersonality: Downplayed, but it's still there. Day Rikuo is your [[TheEveryman Generic]] NiceGuy human and Night Rikuo is more mischevious but more mature and HotBlooded (not unlike his grandfather in his youth). But they're essentially the same person. |
| 64 | * SuperPoweredAlterEgo: Rikuo's youkai form is the one who can use the powers of his youkai blood. |
| 65 | * TheTease: In Youkai form. And he ''enjoys'' it a lot. |
| 66 | * TookALevelInBadass: After the Gyuuki incident, he finally accepted his destiny to become the third and stopped being a wimp. |
| 67 | * UnevenHybrid: He is 1/4 youkai. |
| 68 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: Both sides need to be on agreement first to do it. |
| 69 | * WorthyOpponent: He's the first opponent who can motivate the BloodKnight Tsuchigumo to go all-out in a fight after 1,000 years. |
| 70 | * YouKilledMyFather: He's ''not'' pleased when he discovers that Hagoromo Gitsune was the one who murdered his father. It's ultimately subverted; [[spoiler:Yamabuki Otome was BrainwashedAndCrazy, and had actually killed Rihan ''before'' Hagoromo Gitsune possessed her.]] |

| 79 | Tsurara is Rikuo's trusted attendant and bodyguard, one of the first members of his Hyakki Yakō. She's a cheerful and dedicated Youkai who plunges wholeheartedly into any task, whether it's guarding Rikuo or taking care of the main house. As part of her bodyguard duty, she follows him to school as Tsurara Oikawa. |
| 80 | ---- |
| 81 | * ActionGirl: She’s a bodyguard, after all. |
| 82 | * TheBait: In the Kyoto arc, Tsuchigumo takes Tsurara as prisoner to lure Rikuo into a fight because Rikuo has the potential of being a WorthyOpponent. |
| 83 | * BadassAdorable: She looks like a pretty and lovable young girl, but she's still a very capable youkai who can freeze anyone who attacks her and Rikuo. |
| 84 | * BodyToJewel: Her tears immediately crystallize after falling from her eyes. |
| 85 | * BodyguardCrush: As one of Rikuo's bodyguards, it's her duty to protect him. She also happens to have a huge crush on him, so she's more than happy about her job. [[MaybeEverAfter The manga ending hints]] that they may have become an OfficialCouple. |
| 86 | * BreathWeapon: She can blow out cold air from her mouth. |
| 87 | * BreakoutCharacter: During the series’ original Japanese run in Weekly Shounen Jump she quickly became popular among readers who eventually made sure to get Tsurara to rank high in the magazine’s official popularity polls, going on to become the female character with the most votes by the final poll; all of that can be seen with Tsurara’s presence in the series growing as it went, early on in the manga she was mostly a supporting character, by the end of it she had as much panel-time as several other main characters, which she by then was one of, in fact, by the end of the manga Tsurara is effectively the girl who Rikuo has associated with the most. |
| 88 | * ClarkKenting |
| 89 | --> "I wonder who that blue-eyed girl is... Her features are identical to Tsurara's... ''[[SarcasmMode Obviously not Tsurara!]]"'' |
| 90 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She never likes to see Rikuo around other girls. |
| 91 | * CoolBigSis: To Shouei, young Rikuo and technically the Arawashi Clan. |
| 92 | * DamselInDistress: She's beaten and kidnapped by Tsuchigumo in the middle of the Kyoto arc, as Tsuchigumo knew Rikuo would come to rescue her. |
| 93 | * DeclarationOfProtection: She repeatedly states that she ''has'' to protect Rikuo. |
| 94 | * DisappearedDad: Her father is never brought up. |
| 95 | * ElementalWeapon: She can create a naginata made of ice. |
| 96 | * EtherealWhiteDress: As expected from a {{Yukionna}}, she always wears a white kimono in her {{yokai}} form. |
| 97 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Her eyes have a circle parallel to the iris. |
| 98 | * EyeColorChange: The only difference between her human and yokai forms is that she has [[SupernaturalGoldEyes gold eyes]] as a yokai and [[ElementalEyeColors blue ones]] as a human. |
| 99 | * ForcedSleep: She can use her breath to blow cold air and make people fall asleep. |
| 100 | * GenerationXerox: Like her mother before her, Tsurara is the yuki-onna of the Nura Clan and has a crush on its leader. |
| 101 | * AnIcePerson: Her "fear" is the ability to manipulate ice and cold wind, which primarily enables her to release a long breath of snowstorm that can freeze her opponent. |
| 102 | * InterruptedSuicide: When she was trapped by Tsuchigumo, she knew that she had almost no chance of defeating him so she decided that she would rather kill herself than be a bait to lure Rikuo in a fight with Tsuchigumo... Luckily, Rikuo arrived to save her just in time. |
| 103 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She lives and breathes by this trope. For her, as long as Rikuo is happy she is willing to do ''ANYTHING''. For example, she's willing to let Kana be near Rikuo as his human side would be the happiest. Of course, she also knows in 100 years, Kana will surely be dead and she can move in and be close with Rikuo. |
| 104 | * LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: Whereas her mother was a {{Tsundere}} who openly flirted with Nurarihyon, Tsurara is a NiceGirl who is much more subtle in her affections for Rikuo. |
| 105 | * MeaningfulName: Tsurara is the Japanese word for "Icicle". However, the characters for her name literally translate to "Ice Beauty". |
| 106 | * NaginatasAreFeminine: She's the most feminine youkai girl in Rikuo's faction and her weapon is a naginata. |
| 107 | * NiceGirl: She's a kind and friendly girl. |
| 108 | * PluckyGirl: She may lack experience and power, but not spirit. |
| 109 | * ReflectionlessUselessEyes: Her eyes usually don't reflect highlights. They gain shine when she takes human disguise. |
| 110 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: She is always seen wearing a white scarf, befitting her ice powers. |
| 111 | * SpikedBlood: Some mice freeze solid from drinking Tsurara's blood. |
| 112 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: She's the spitting image of her mother. |
| 113 | * SubordinateExcuse: She's so devoted to Rikuo not only because she's his servant, but because of her huge crush on him. |
| 114 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: A distinct characteristic of her youkai form. When she's in her human disguise she has blue eyes. |
| 115 | * TeamChef: She's in charge of the cooking for the Nura Clan's main house. |
| 116 | * UndyingLoyalty: Towards Rikuo, of course. She respects and admires him not because he is the third heir, but because of whom he is as a person. |
| 117 | * {{Yukionna}}: Tsurara is a female spirit of snow in a pure white kimono who can freeze her enemies with her breath. |

| 158 | * FriendToAllChildren: Incarnated, he was born of a tale about a monk with infinite arsenal appearing wherever children were threatened and saving them from bad guys. |
| 159 | * HeelFaceTurn: The story of how he joined the Nura Clan is the setup for the Hundred Tales Arc. The Hundred Tales overrode his original tale and turned him to their side, making him work as their personal assassin. Eventually, he was sent to kill Rihan who overpowered him and asked him to join his Night Parade. When Kurotabo realized Sanmoto was an evil monster and remembered who he really was, he made a pledge with Rihan so they could defeat Sanmoto together. |

This is because Hagoromo Gitsune's curse reduced his lifespan. |

| 329 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Nurarihyon is described as "A yokai that sits in someone's house and drinks their tea," which sounds pretty lame when you first think about it. However, his PerceptionFilter is actually a powerful ability since it ends up being a kind of {{invisibility}}. The way he describes his own power when fighting Muchi could double as a BadassBoast. He basically says that he's so overwhelmingly powerful that lesser beings stop being able to perceive him ''out of sheer terror''. |
| 330 | * IWasQuiteALooker: Compare his wrinkled dwarf current self with his PrettyBoy past self. |
| 331 | * LoveAtFirstSight: It only took him giving Youhime one look to decide making her his wife. |

| 333 | * MasterOfIllusion: His fear allows him to create illusions, such as appearing as his young self in front of Hagoromo Gitsune. |
