Takamoto Chikahito

An ordinary high-school student with a strong interest in Kyoto and its history. After meeting Hana, Tachibana and Sakura, he finds out that he is resistant to their powers, is invited into the Urashichiken by Hana and starts living with them.


  • Anti-Magic: His Not property allows him to "clean up" other people's powers that would affect him but he can still be enclosed and see Oni.
  • Ascended Fanboy: A history nerd gets trapped in a war between the reincarnations of many famous figures of the Sengoku era. Almost a dream come true.
  • Audience Surrogate: Chikahito is practically the audience's avatar in Gate 07, as he discovers the misteries of the Urashichiken and is left outside of them at the same time the audience does.
  • Expy: Unruly black hair, glasses, and great cooking skills: sound familiar?
  • Fanboy: Whenever he gets all fanboy over his passion for Kyoto and its history.
  • Foil: To Hana. They're very different but still they're similar since they're different types of "Not".
  • High-Pressure Emotion: When he gets some Ship Tease with Hana.
  • In-Series Nickname: Sakura and Hidetsugu call him "Chika-chan".
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side: Chikahito not only cooks, but thanks to his past work in a cafe, his meals are both delicious and cute-looking.
  • Late to the Punchline: He doesn't realized he was the delivery to Hidetsugu until everybody tells him.
  • Living with the Villain: He doesn't know that Yuu Aoi is really Tokugawa Iemitsu and they go to the same school, same class.
  • Luminescent Blush: He furiously blushes in the presence of anyone he finds to be beautiful.
  • Mr. Exposition: Comes with being a history nerd in this series.
  • Naïve Everygirl: Gender-flipped. Chikahito is affable, kind and quite perceptive but not very world-savvy.
  • Naïve Newcomer: Chikahito still has a lot to learn about the people he lives with.
  • No Indoor Voice: Tends to yell his lungs out whenever weird stuff happens around him but people already consider normal. Also screams whenever caught in a supernatural fight as he can get enclosed by accident. He mellowed down after getting used to most of it.
  • Pretty Freeloader: Rare Male Example; and he's even of the rarest gems that actually do something to help around the house he's freeloading in.
  • Reincarnation: While it's unknown who he was, it seems his past self is the one Hana's waiting for.
  • Supreme Chef: Tachibana lets him stay in the Urashichiken not only because Hana wants to, but because Chikahito can cook meals of the busy group.
  • Squee:
    • His reaction to anything ancient Kyoto relevant.
    • He squeed over being investigated by the Sanada Ten Braves.
    • Also squees in delight at Hana's cuteness.
  • The Team Normal: Or is he?
  • Tender Tears: Oh boy, does he ever. At first it was mostly Tears of Fear because of the weird stuff happening around him, but he tunes them down after getting more or less used to them.
  • Through Her Stomach: Luckily, Hana has an endless appetite.
  • Wild Card: Since he's "Not", he doesn't have a specific side, but just because of that, he's the only one Sugihime's voice can reach.

Hana

The main fighter of the Urashichiken. They fight with Myouhou ("mysterious way") techniques and the weapons that Tachibana and Sakura generate for them.


  • Ambiguous Gender: Hana is very gender neutral. Chikahito is is convenced Hana's a girl for how beautiful Hana is but Sakura don't feeling like explaining just confuses him about their gender.
  • Animal Motifs: Cats. Chikahito compares them with a begging-for-food cat, they put on adorable cat smiles and Masamune call them his kitten.
  • Badass Adorable: There's two things everybody agrees on: Hana is the most adorable thing ever, and Hana is a deathly fighter.
  • Big Eater: Hana's stomach seems to never get satisfied. Undestandable, Hana is the one that fights and consumes energy the most.
  • Cheerful Child: In their free days.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Very subtly, but it seems they don't like Chikahito being worried over other girls.
  • Daddy's Girl: Though Tachibana is not their blood relative, Hana know he'll never say no to them; as soon Hana said they brought the Ridiculously Cute Critter, Tachibana was completely ok with it.
  • Dissonant Serenity: In contrast to Chikahito's No Indoor Voice.
  • Elemental Powers: Some of their Myouhou techniques have elemental attributes.
  • Foil: To Chikahito. They're very different but still they're similar since they're different types of "Not".
  • Heavy Sleeper: Sakura says that Hana would sleep all day if given the chance.
  • I Will Wait for You: Likely a non-romantic version. Together with their clone/twin(?), they are waiting for someone. It hasn't been revealed yet for who, but it's known that whoever they are, they were reincarnated in Chikahito.
  • Master of None: While Hana's ability to power copy allows them a wide variety and versatility, without the "arms" Tachibana and Sakura generate for them these copies are not as powerful as the originals.
  • Morality Pet: Hana's interactions with Tachibana help to highlight that he has a soft spot.
  • Mysterious Waif: Not much has been said about Hana's past or their reasons to fight.
  • Power Copying: Hana's Not property allows them to "take in" every magic that Hana has fought before, adapting it to their convenience.
  • The Promise: To somebody who has not been revealed yet who is the one who they are waiting for.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: They are usually a cute, nice person but not for nothing they're the main fighter of the Urashichiken.
  • Speaks Fluent Animal: Can talk to supernatural creatures.
  • Super-Deformed: Noodles at the table? Chibi-Hana appears.
  • Third-Person Person: To emphatize their childishness and avoid Pronoun Trouble.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Noodles.
  • Verbal Tic: Tends to say "Ugo, ugo~" while waving their hands.
  • Will Not Tell a Lie: Part of The Promise.

  • Gender-Blender Name: The third "Sakura" in CLAMP's work is a very manly man.
  • Living Emotional Crutch: to Tachibana, to the point Hidetsugu and Mikoto compares Sakura to a "husband calming down his hysterical wife". Tachibana is not amused.

  • Really Gets Around: Apparently, he can't sleep without "human warmth" so he has plenty of "companions"

Date Masamune

The reincarnation of the "One-eyed Dragon" is an 11-years-old elementary student. While he loves to fight, he mostly joined into Hidetsugu's forces in order to aid Hana, to whom he's attracted to. He's always followed by his loyal subordinate, Katakura Kojuurou.

  • Bishie Sparkle: Whenever he's trying to look cool or when he's flirty with Hana.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: Because he's so sure about his abilities and knows his past life is a legend, Masamune always looks to act like an adult and to be treated as such, which only makes him seem more childish. Kojuurou even says Masamune is in a "fifth-grade syndrome"note , and he reveals that Masamune has said he's in sixth grade ever since he was in kindergarden.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: From his behavior you'd never guess that he's an excellent swordfighter and a good student.
  • Calling Your Attacks: Because he's also a kid mentally, and thus thinks it's cool. To make matters funnier, the attack's name means "unrecognized genius".

  • Eyepatch of Power: Well, he is the One-eyed Dragon.

  • Their First Time: His dream and reserved best day ever is to have this with Hana.
  • Victor Gains Loser's Powers: He took possesion of Gracia's Oni, Nigemizu, after he defeated her.

  • For Science!: His main motivation is undercovering the secrets of Oda Nobunaga by finding and studing his body and Oni.
  • Hot Teacher: He turns out to be Chikahito's science teacher.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Unlike his ambitious past self, Akechi doesn't waste time and energy when he sees the tides of a fight are not on his favor. Mikoto lampshades it, describing him as pragmatic.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gatesevenenka_7953.jpg

  • Rescue Romance: Maybe. That face seems to say so.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nigemizu_2897.gif

  • Kimono Fanservice: Unlike Mikoto who's dressed as a shrine maiden, Nigemizu is dressed to resemble a tempting High-Class Call Girl.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gateseveniemitsu_7642.jpg

  • Bishie Sparkle: Lampshaded by Chikahito.
    Chikahito: It like he's glittering!
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Settles to meet the new member of the Urashichiken by acting ill to get his sympathy. He's actually a ruthless psychopath.
  • I Have Your Wife: He kipnapped Sugi, Tachibana's sister
  • I Love You Because I Can't Control You:

Tenkai

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ishida_2999.jpg

Ishida Mitsunari


  • Face–Heel Turn: Unlike while in Sengoku era, when he sided with Toyotomi's allies, this Ishida sided with the Tokugawa.
  • Foil: To Yukimura. In the Sengoku era, both Ishida and him fought on Toyotomi's side and lost against the Tokugawa; this time though, Ishida allied with Tokugawa, considering the battle already won because of the past, while Yukimura continued loyal to Toyotomi's cause after they proved their strenght since he believes no battle is won before the fight itself.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: He doesn't want to fight for the "losing side" again. Yukimura remembers that Ishida has a strong sense of justice, so he thinks Ishida must have some reason to join with Tokugawa.
