The Group

• Characterization Marches On: Several characters are far more different in their introduction than they are later on:
  • Gin is a total pervert and annoying, but he's genuinely kindhearted, a trusted friend and values those close to him more than anything to the point where risking his life is nothing....which is why seeing him as a manipulative Jerkass who frames Tsukune for his own perverted antics and outwardly threatens to make Moka his "woman by force" can be really, really strange.
  • Kurumu is known among fans as The Heart of the Newspaper Club, a Chivalrous Pervert who refuses to use her charm powers to take advantage of Tsukune, and has a weirdly pure and chaste side underneath her succubus persona. But in her first appearance, not only is she perfectly fine with charming people by the score, when Tsukune rejects her, she outright tries to murder him.
  • Mizore is a largely harmless Stalker with a Crush, but in her introduction, she's a Yandere who has no qualms against trying to turn Tsukune into a Human Popsicle and trying to kill Moka completely unprovoked.
• Colourful Theme Naming: All the club members, except for Ruby, have the kanji of a color in their name.
  • Tsukune - the "ao" in Aono means blue.
  • Moka - the "aka" in Akashiya means red.
  • Kurumu - the "kuro" in Kurono means black.
  • The kanji in Yukari's name means purple.
  • Mizore - the "shira" in Shirayuki means white.
  • The "gi" in Ginei means silver.
  • Kokoa - the "shu" in Shuzen can be translated to vermilion.
  • Fang-Fang - "Huang" means yellow in Chinese.
• Defeat Means Friendship: Besides Tsukune, Moka and Fang-Fang, the majority of the members were initially antagonistic forces, with them needing to be defeated physically, emotionally, or both before joining the group and forming bonds with the others.
• Easily Forgiven: Most of them have attempted to physically and/or sexually assault at least one member of the club, typically Tsukune or Moka, before being subjected to Defeat Means Friendship. Expect the rest of the group to be pretty much over it by the end of the offender's introduction.
• Marry Them All: Parodied in Chapter 23 of the second manga series where Tsukune hates himself for having a dream about it, thinking it makes him a terrible person. But when Fang-Fang suggests it while trying to recruit Tsukune in the same chapter, everyone else in the Unwanted Harem is actually pretty cool with sharing him. It's Moka, the one he's closest with, who puts her foot down at the idea, especially since not only would it involve joining the Chinese mafia, but her own family was torn apart by her father's attempts to marry two women at once.
• Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: There's a human Ordinary High-School Student, a vampire with a Split Personality, a big-breasted succubus, a stalker yuki-onna, a Child Prodigy witch, a Hot Witch who's Too Kinky to Torture, and a super-perverted werewolf.
• Reconstruction: Of the Unwanted Harem, as we see that some of the girls that are Hopeless Suitors Tsukune (who has already chosen Moka aka both of them) have more realistic, non-comedic, non-I Want My Beloved to Be Happy reactions to them getting together, rather than a typical use of the trope. Kurumu in particular has had a few heartbreaking scenes, especially when we learn that she (like other heartbroken succubi) can potentially fall victim to Death by Despair. However, everyone in the harem are still True Companions who want to stay together. Even Kurumu realizes she doesn't care only for romantic love anymore and now wants to keep enjoying her life with all of her friends instead of just Tsukune.
• True Companions: All of them grow to be close friends with each other, and all of them would willingly give their lives to save each other.

Tsukune Aono

Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (JP), Todd Haberkorn (EN)

The male protagonist of the series. Tsukune is an all around average human until one day his father comes home with an application to a mysterious academy he found. Taking it as a sign from above, Tsukune's parents send him to Yokai Academy, which Tsukune learns is a school for monsters! Luckily Tsukune meets Moka Akashiya, his main love interest who coincidentally is a vampire! Along the way, he and Moka make new friends, mostly members of his unwanted harem, and try to survive in the dangerous school. Later in the series he develops vampiric powers thanks to blood injections from Moka. His new power is sealed by a Holy Lock, which keeps him from becoming a Ghoul. Even with this detriment though, Tsukune manages to take life one life-threatening attack from a monster at a time!

---

• Above the Influence: He may very well be the living, breathing incarnate of this trope; no matter how many times girls proposition him, sometimes while half-naked, he will turn them down. It's taken up to eleven in the Flower Offering arc: in an effort to avoid an Arranged Marriage, Mizore doped him with a powerful aphrodisiac made from a local flower known to the yuki-onna, said aphrodisiac having a reputation in the monster world for being among the best, and then pretty much threw her naked body at him while literally begging him to knock her up; even with all of those factors, Tsukune still managed to resist her advances.
• Accidental Pervert: Less compared to other harem heroes and mostly in the anime; he accidentally touched Moka's legs during their first meeting. In season 2 of the anime there are some more straight examples: he accidentally gropes Moka's sister in the first episode and, much later, has a really Suggestive Collision with Kurumu and Mizore's respective mothers.
• Action Survivor: Before his badass upgrade, he adapted rather quickly to his circumstances while he was still The Team Normal.
• Adaptational Wimp: Tsukune Took a Level in Badass several times in the manga. The anime version, on the other hand...
• All-Loving Hero: With his Character Development, Tsukune wants to prove he can reach an understanding with anyone, even the evilest of monsters. The Bus Driver implies that he will become the link between the Human and Monster worlds in the name of peace. This is likely why the Headmaster and the Bus Driver picked Tsukune to someday takeover Yokai Academy in the epilogue.
• Attractive Bent-Gender: In the yuki-onna arc. You would not even know it is a guy before he took off the wig.
• Ax-Crazy: His ghoul form, what with its penchant for violence, insane laughter, and constant uttering of the word "kill."
• Badass Boast: "Out of my way Kuyou, or I'll kill you!"
• Battle Couple: With Inner Moka after he starts to develop the powers necessary to fight at or near her level. By the time of the final battle against Alucard, they've become equals in terms of power and skill.
• Beautiful Dreamer: Kurumu certainly thinks he's one.
• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Even after transforming half of his body (and face) into his Jet Black form, he's still so damn hot.
• Beware the Nice Ones: After gaining Ghoul abilities midway into the first Manga. When he first became a Ghoul (before he gained the Holy Lock), he gave Inner Moka a hard time when she tried to subdue his rampage. (although granted she was still a bit weakened from the water sprinklers from a trap by a bad guy.) While the Holy Lock does keep his Ghoul powers subdued (which allows him to keep his sanity), it starts to slip through if he gets too pissed off, or takes too much damage. Later on, he starts learning how to access and control them.
• Blessed with Suck: Moka injecting her blood into him can allow him to gain vampire-level physical abilities, but has the risk of turning into a ghoul where he's a raging killing machine that attacks everything he sees.
• Body Horror: Moka's blood turned him into a ghoul. Later, in season II chapter 41, he temporarily turns into a monster because of Touhou Fuhai's human modification procedure.
• Character Development: Tsukune starts the series as a somewhat stereotypical harem lead, but has developed into a rather confident appealing individual.
• Chick Magnet: Lampshaded by Ginei, who does not understand why. To be fair, neither does he.
  • Though compared to most harem leads he has a much more appealing personality, which makes it easier to imagine girls being attracted to him.
  • During the manga's Beach Episode, while the girls cater to the male guests at Marin's hostel, Tsukune gets a fair amount of attention from the girls. It's the first time human girls have taken an interest in him.
  • A good thing to factor in on his magnetism would be the combination of his increasingly good looks and his very well toned body.
• Chivalrous Pervert: He has his moments of perversion; for example, his initial reason for wanting to join the Swimming Club (before finding out about a vampire's Kryptonite Factor) was so he could see Moka in a bikini. Nonetheless, he's much more respectful of girls than the other boys at Yokai Academy, who openly lust after women and publicly comment on their breasts.
• Class Representative: Elected in the first season (against his vehement protests). He's not especially smart or much of a stickler, and is never seen wielding any actual authority, but most of his class sees him as a reliable person, and he is an outspoken advocate for peace.
• Conveniently Seated: Tsukune sits on the second-last seat with the window on the left. Moka sits behind him, Mizore sits in front of him, and Kurumu sits next to Moka.
• Covered with Scars: In the later chapters. Not that this makes him any less hot.
• Creepy Good: Extremely nice guy, but also becomes one of the most frightening monster in the series.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Both at the giving and receiving ends.
  • A notable example would be his trashing of Kuyou in their rematch in the Fairy Tale arc.
• Defeat Means Friendship: Most of the Unwanted Harem, and Ginei were homicidal maniacs before Tsukune and Moka came along.
• The Defroster: While Outer Moka is sweet and friendly from the start, Inner Moka is very cold and violent. Although he felt a bit intimidated at first, Tsukune later realizes Inner Moka is a part of the Moka he likes too and his kindness towards her slowly makes Inner Moka open up and fall in love with him too. By the last chapter of Season II, Inner Moka's love for Tsukune has melted her ice to the point that she acts the same as the cheerful and affectionate Outer Moka.
• Determinator: Even as a regular human, nothing short of death will stop Tsukune from doing what he feels is necessary. Turns into an Implacable Man after getting his ghoul powers, as he now has the power to completely shrug off any attempts to stop him, with not even serious injury doing anything to deter him.
• Dhampir: Because of Moka injecting him with her blood, Tsukune becomes a half-vampire and only retains some of his human side because of the lock seal on his arm. He eventually gives up the last of his humanity to save Moka and becomes a full vampire.
• Disguised in Drag: During the yuki-onna arc, Tsukune has to disguise himself as a girl to get into the coming of age ceremony, where men are not allowed.
• Dissonant Serenity: When Moka injects him with her blood during fights, he seems indifferent and detached, until he really gets going.
  • Later in the Manga, this kind of demeanor warns that his Superpowered Evil Side is starting to take over.
• Dynamic Entry: Uses this on a guy who was threatening his harem with a gun (in this verse, guns can apparently kill monsters no matter how powerful they are).
• Emergency Transformation: Kuyou fatally wounds him and to save his life, Inner Moka injects Tsukune with her blood which starts his transformation into a ghoul.
• Even the Guys Want Him: Subverted with Fang-Fang, who was actually trying to recruit him into the Chinese Mafia. That said, Fang-Fang still has his moments, such as the second panel season II chapter 28.
• First Friend: He's the first friend Moka made as she had troubles with bullying when she went to a human middle school.
• Flash Step: When using his ghoul powers, he's capable of moving so quickly it appears he's teleporting to anybody that isn't sufficiently powerful.
• Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: By the end of Season II, Tsukune is now a full vampire, yet he's as friendly as when he was human and his goal is still to create a world where humans and monsters can coexist in peace.
• Godzilla Threshold: Once or twice, unleashing his ghoul form was the only way to defeat the current Big Bad. Keep in mind that Tsukune's ghoul transformation is completely Ax-Crazy, a danger to friend and foe alike, and potentially irreversible.
• Good Is Not Soft: He's every bit a Nice Guy, willing to Turn the Other Cheek when wronged, but when pushed too far, he shows no mercy. Just ask Kuyou and Gyokuro.
• Good Old Fisticuffs:
  • In contrast to Kick Chick Inner!Moka, he fights with simple punches.
  • Later he found a way to put back his good 'ol fists into good use when he duked it out with Gyokuro Shuzen in a slug-fest of epic proportions. He won by ramming his fist into her gut.
• Good Wings, Evil Wings: His Jet Black/Ultimate Ghoul form deserves special mention.
• Grew a Spine: His most important Character Development is deciding to stop letting Moka and his monsters friends do all the fighting for him and make any risky decisions to protect those he cares about even choosing to give up his humanity to save Moka's life.
• Ground Pound: When performing his "Bakuryuujin" technique- which involves him smashing his fists into the ground , creating massive explosive shockwaves which sends enemies flying. Really a good way for clearing out a crowd.
• Heroic BSoD: Suffers one after learning that the Outer Moka is a fake personality created by the Rosario in order to keep Moka's seal safe. End result? He begins to drift away into an inescapable sea of mental darkness.
• Horrifying Hero: Being a Nice Guy does not keep his ghoul status from terrifying his friends.
• Humanoid Abomination: His ultimate ghoul mode of Season II looks like Tsukune with black skin and large bat wings. Good thing he got better.
• Innocently Insensitive: He may be a genuinely nice and considerate guy, but since he's a normal human at a school for monsters, all of whom have different needs and issues than humans, he sometimes does things that accidentally insult or upset the people he cares about, or can misunderstand how they feel about things. However, whenever it's brought to his attention the truth of the situation, he goes out of the way to clear up any misunderstandings and work things out between him and the other person.
• Instant Runes: Part of his upgrade, demonstrated in Chapter 43 of Season II.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: When he unleashes more of his power by unlocking the 2nd seal of his Holy Lock in his fight with the psychotic step mother.
• Lightning Bruiser: Becoming a ghoul gives him all of the powers of a vampire with none of the weaknesses, making him just as fast, strong, and tough as Inner Moka.
• Loser Protagonist: At the start of the series, it was pointed out how he was ridiculously average. But then he Took a Level in Badass and became Bishōnen.
• Love at First Sight: He falls for Moka from the first time he meets her.
• Love Father, Love Son: A very strange and convoluted gender-swapped example. The Outer Moka Tsukune is in love with is actually an amnesiac replica of Moka's mother, Akasha. At the end of the manga, the rosary is destroyed and Akasha sacrifices herself to destroy Alucard permanently. While Tsukune is saddened by losing Outer Moka, he stays with Inner Moka whose personality becomes indistinguishable from that of Akasha's copy.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: He is kinda a wimp at times who is either overly kind or scared, making him the Feminine Boy to Inner Moka's Masculine Girl. They outgrow this trope by the end of the manga where Tsukune is now both physically stronger and more decisive while Inner Moka has opened up to her emotions and acts girlier.
• Made of Iron: Even before he got super powers, it was almost impossible to knock him out.
• Megaton Punch: His typical finisher.
• Morality Pet: He is somewhat this to Inner Moka, and tends to keep her from going too far, first seen when he defended Kurumu.
• Mr. Fanservice: Plenty of examples in the series. Even his ghoul form looks good.
• Nice Guy: He's the kindest and most considerate male among the entire cast, never intentionally demeaning anybody, male or female. Even when he acts Innocently Insensitive, the instant he learns that he did so, he goes out of his way to make up for it and never do it again.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In rejecting Mizore's advances during the Flower Offering arc, he essentially ensured that Mizore would be stuck in an Arranged Marriage to Miyabi.
• Nosebleed: Gets these at the sight of Fanservice.
• No Guy Wants to Be Chased: Most of the girls in his Unwanted Harem are quite romantically aggressive, except for Moka who is the only one he pursues from the beginning.
• Not Afraid of You Anymore: In Season II, he's not very effective against Kuyou during their rematch, and Ruby realizes it's because Tsukune recalls how Kuyou nearly killed him before, so he's subconsciously retreating in fear. But then Ruby jumps into the way of his final blow, and Kuyou gleefully tells him that Fang-Fang and Yukari had been killed by Gairen, another subdivision leader, and actively taunting him over his weaknesses and how much he wants him to suffer in fear and despair before he kills him. At this, Tsukune manages to overcome his fear, effortlessly repelling Kuyou's attack before turning the tables on him.
  Tsukune: I don't have time for this. I've got friends to protect. Beat it, Kuyou. Or I'll slay you where you stand.
• One Hero, Hold the Weaksauce: After a series of near-death instances, Tsukune gains vampire powers from various blood transfusions. Unlike Moka, this comes without the weakness to water. He effectively has no weaknesses (well, other than the potential to go berserk and Crucifixes), which gives him an advantage.
• One-Winged Angel: When his ghoul side is taking over in the battle against Fairy Tale.
• Only Sane Man: Most of the time.
• Ordinary High-School Student: He's a completely normal high school student who just happened to enroll at a high school for monsters and gets a vampire Action Girlfriend to protect him along with an Unwanted Harem of monster girls.
• Our Ghouls Are Creepier: Ghouls are the result of a person being injected with vampire blood and managing to survive, with it noted to be a rare occurence. As a ghoul, Tsukune has all of the physical abilities of a vampire with none of the normal weaknesses, but in exchange risks turning him into a mindless beast that lashes out at everything.
• Please, Don't Leave Me: He cries and begs Akasha to stay with him after she reveals she's the original personality of Outer Moka and shares her memories of Tsukune, but she must disappear in front of him once more in order to destroy Alucard for good.
• Power Limiter: The Holy Lock around his wrist, which keeps his Superpowered Evil Side in check. If he uses his powers too much, it begins to crack. The lock's actually a tool designed to safely transform a human into a monster. It's been slowly adapting his body to the powers granted to him by Moka's blood while suppressing the negative side effects. As of Chapter 66, he's completed the transformation and become a Shinso vampire; thus, he no longer requires the Lock.
• Progressively Prettier: Can be seen as a mixture of Art Evolution, the present day Tsukune looks a lot different than what he did at the start of the series. This has been acknowledge in series as well. Turns out there's a good reason for this: Moka's blood and the Holy Lock have been slowly transforming him into a vampire. In the end he becomes a full fledged vampire with none of the ill side effects that plagued him the rest of the series.
• Psychotic Smirk: If you see him sporting one of these or a full-blown Slasher Smile, RUN LIKE HELL because it means his Ghoul powers have gone out of control.
• Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: When taking on multiple opponents, his preference is to knock opponents out with quick, 'weak' blows.
• Ridiculously Average Guy: He has got plenty of common sense, but he is not especially stupid or smart (even his test scores were right in the middle), does not have any special talents, and has lived a completely ordinary life. Yukari wasted no time lampshading this when they first met. This quickly changes.
• Second Year Protagonist: In season II, Tsukune and most of his group at Yokai Academy are sophomores, now allowing the inclusion of freshmen as well as upperclassmen in the cast.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly man to Fang-Fang's sensitive guy.
• Sensor Character: Thanks to Moka's training, Tsukune becomes able to sense the demonic aura of other monsters.
• Sham Supernatural: He's completely normal human who is accidentally enrolled in a school for monsters. He has to spend the rest of the series pretending to everyone but his close friends to be one of them, as the punishment for 'human spies' discovered by the Public Safety Commission is execution.
• Shonen Hair: Thanks to Art Evolution, his hair looks more normal and straighter later in season II.
• Shrouded in Myth: He's built up a reputation in the underworld for wiping out an entire branch of Fairy Tale, which was actually Gin and Haiji's doing. To be fair, he's still quite powerful.
• Single-Target Sexuality: Moka-sexual. No matter how much the rest of the Unwanted Harem loves him, Tsukune only has eyes for Moka and makes clear both the Outer and Inner personalities mean a lot to him.
• Stranger in a Strange School: A human who accidentally gets accepted to All-Ghouls School in Another Dimension.
• Superhuman Transfusion: Tsukune got his vampire/ghoul powers from repeatedly having Moka's blood injected into him. Considering she sucked out a lot of his original blood as well, it's not surprising that the ratio became skewed. In the series finale, he injects his own blood into Moka to save her life, turning them both into Shinso Vampires.
• Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious: Moka just cannot stop swooning over how tasty his blood is to her. The taste of his blood is the only thing Kokoa will admit to like about him.
• Superpower Russian Roulette: Both gaining vampire powers and Touhu Fuhai's 109 needle surgery have low success rates and high death rates. Being a Determinator (and the main character), he made it through both.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Too instinctive to really be actively evil, it is pretty much The Berserker, which is why he needs the Power Limiter to keep sane when it first appeared.
• Super-Speed: Not quite at Gin's level, but he's now able to outrun vampires. Later on, he's fast enough to outrun heat.
• Super-Strength: After he Took a Level in Badass, he has the superhuman strength of a vampire. A notable example would be catching a huge-ass, multi-ton pillar flying straight towards him with his bare hands.
• Supporting Protagonist: While the story is from his point of view, Moka is the arguably the heroine of the series, serving as the strongest member of their group and often taking on the Big Bad. He becomes more active in part 2.
• Tainted Veins: The usual sign of his ghoul form being in control is when he gains these across his neck and both sides of his face.
• The Team Normal: In the early part of the series, Tsukune is a human with no special powers while everyone else in the Newspaper Club is a monster with their own set of abilities. This is subverted later on, Tsukune starts gaining the powers of a vampire due to Moka injecting him with her blood.
• Technical Pacifist: He doesn’t like fighting and always wants a peaceful solution but becomes more than willing to throw down in order to protect his friends.
• This Is Unforgivable!:
  • His word-for-word reaction in chapter 50 after finding out that Miyabi not only invaded Mizore's homeland, but stole Mizore's first kiss.
  • The only time he speaks in ghoul form is to say:
  Ghoul!Tsukune: Unforgivable. You even hurt my friends. I won't let you off.
• Token Human: A human that gets enrolled in a school for monsters. Though Tsukune's been getting less human as time goes by... As of chapter 66.4 he's become a full vampire
• Too Dumb to Live: In the earlier parts of the manga, he had a tendency to throw himself in front of attacks that would have otherwise hit people much more likely to withstand said attacks.
• Took a Level in Badass: When the manga starts, he is a normal human who needs to be saved by Moka and the other girls 99% of the time. By the end of Season 1, he is a competent fighter and action hero but still not as strong as Inner Moka. Now in season II, he fought and defeated Gyokuro Shuzen, leader of Fairy Tale.
• Touched by Vorlons: Moka's vampire blood has been giving him strength for awhile, but he could not compete with a true fully trained vampire. Then Touhou Fuhai came along and modified his body, granting him full control of his power and the potential to compete with Aqua. Even worse is that Moka's mother had Alucard's blood within her and Moka inherited that. This is also within Tsukune and helped give him an even stronger boost of power.
• Tragic Keepsake: Moka's destroyed rosary.
• Tranquil Fury: When he proceeds to deliver a Curb-Stomp Battle on the Yakuza to save Moka.
• Turn the Other Cheek: He's rather quick to befriend Kurumu, Mizore, Ruby, and Yukari, forgiving and forgetting the fact that Mizore, Ruby, and Kurumu all tried to kill him when they first met and the fact that Yukari was a jerkass screwball who pulled all sorts of nasty pranks on him.
• Unfazed Everyman: Tsukune is quick to accept the fact that monsters exist and learn to operate within their world, even with no special powers of his own.
• Unstoppable Rage: When any enemy threatens to push his berserk buttons or when he loses control of his vampire blood and turns into a ghoul. Goes hand-in-hand with his title as The Berserker- also when in ghoul mode.
• Winged Humanoid: He grows bat-like wings when the True Ancestor blood inside him nearly turns him into a ghoul and later, when he becomes a full vampire.
• With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: His Power-Up lets him join in on the fight, but also turns him into a ghoul.
• Would Hit a Girl: Gyokuro found this out the hard way.
• "X" Marks the Hero: Has a X-shaped scar across his chest, which he got on the 31st page of chapter 20. It is actually pretty easy to overlook at the time, since the scar is not shown properly for several volumes.
• You Are Worth Hell: As he is slowly turning into a ghoul for overusing his power in the climatic battle, he does not care as he can use this power to protect Moka.

Moka Akashiya

Voiced by: Nana Mizuki (JP), Alexis Tipton (EN, Outer Moka), Colleen Clinkenbeard (EN, Inner Moka)

The first person Tsukune meets when he sets foot in Yokai Academy. Exceptionally sweet and kind, Moka is a vampire, and takes a liking to Tsukune after ingesting his blood, becoming addicted in doing so. When the rosario around her neck is removed, the seal keeping her true nature is released. Cold and arrogant, "Inner" Moka is a completely different entity from the kind and loving "Outer" Moka, going so far as to specifically remind Tsukune to "be kind to the other Moka". Tsukune is the only one able to remove the rosario around Moka's neck.

---

Tropes applying to both

• The Ace: Outer Moka is beautiful, sweet, an excellent student, and admired throughout the school. Inner Moka is a beautiful and intelligent badass who hands out Curb Stomp Battles.
• Betty and Veronica: In a single person. Moka is Tsukune's main love interest, but Outer has a personable Nice Girl Betty kind of personality in contrast to Inner Moka who is very much a Tsundere with the alluring vibe of a Veronica. At first, Outer Moka is the one Tsukune likes, but he later becomes closer to Inner Moka after she starts warming up to him.
• Character Development: Both personalities have matured greatly over the course of the series, with Outer Moka becoming more confident and responsible and Inner Moka becoming kinder and more understanding.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: She's the only one of Tsukune's harem to reject the idea of a Marry Them All solution. While Outer Moka shoots the idea down, Inner Moka hits everyone who suggests it.
• Daywalking Vampire: She's frequently shown walking around in the sun to no ill effect. Word of God initially Hand Waves this by claiming that Moka simply protects herself from the sun by wearing long-sleeved clothes, but then again, Moka is also shown on more than one occasion frolicking at the beach in a bikini in broad daylight.
• Determinator: She dives into a pool (despite water being a vampires main weakness) and actually not only manages to move around and fight off the pain (her sister Kahlua was rendered useless from a similar/lesser amount) but also managed to fight off a group of mermaids to rescue Tsukune.
  • In the final arc, after seeing how strong her friends have become and how determined they are to rescue her from Fairy Tale, Moka decides that now she must become stronger so she can protect them. She starts by fighting off Alucard tentacles to deliver a kick strong enough to tear off her evil step-mothers face. Right afterwards she unlocks her full shinzo power.
• Dude Magnet: She's quite admired by many boys from Yokai Academy.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Early chapters of the manga have Outer and Inner Moka look like two different characters. Both Mokas look more similar to each other in later parts of the second manga. You can mistake Inner Moka often for being Outer Moka.
• Edible Theme Naming: "Moka" is a pun on the hot drink, "Cafe Mocha" (Coffee mixed with Cocoa), referring to the 'bitter and sweet' parallels between her two personalities: Inner (Coffee/Bitter) and Outer (Cocoa/Sweet).
• Even the Girls Want Her: Yukari is infatuated with her.
• First Girl Wins: Moka is the first girl introduced, the first to meet Tsukune when he arrives at the monster academy and the only girl of the harem that Tsukune has returned affections to.
• Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Tsukune has a hard time believing an adorable and kind girl like Moka can be a vampire. Then he meets her Inner self, who is much closer to the image of a scary vampire. However, both Mokas are good girls who never prey on humans; they only drink Tsukune's blood because they like it.
• Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Outer Moka has Tareme Eyes, Inner Moka has Tsurime Eyes.
• Iconic Item: The choker with the rosary that keeps her seal in place is the item that most represents Moka.
• Idiot Hair: Neither of her personalities is an idiot, though Outer Moka can be a bit of a ditz.
• Leg Focus: No matter which personality is in charge, and thus what size her chest and bottom are, a consistent part of her appearance is her curvy legs, which are accentuated both by her short skirt and knee-socks and all the situations Tsukune gets into involving them, including grabbing them when the two first met and getting lap pillows from her.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Outer is a sweet-tempered and naive non-combatant, making her the Light Feminine while Inner is an aloof and imposing Lady of War, making her the Dark Feminine.
• MacGuffin Super-Person: Moka's shinsou blood and connection to Alucard seems to make her this.
• Magic Skirt: In the manga at least, though at least once in each serialization there is a Precision Panty Strike courtesy of Inner.
• Meaningful Name: "Moka" is a pun on "Moca", the Puerto Rican town where the Chupacabra (aka "the Moca Vampire") was first reported.
• Memento MacGuffin: Her rosary was the one thing her Missing Mom left behind before disappearing. It's more than that; the rosary is literally linked to Moka's mother Akasha and her protective maternal instincts while Akasha is sealed inside Alucard.
• Morality Pet: Her half-sister Aqua comes across as a heartless assassin, but she deeply loves Moka (maybe a bit too much) and is very protective of her, even if she's quite the Yandere about it. In the past, Aqua hesitated to kill Akasha only because Moka was watching their fight and once Alucard awoke, Aqua didn't hesitate to team up with Akasha in order to save Moka from being absorbed.
• Ms. Fanservice: While not as commonly as Kurumu, the series takes whatever chances it gets to show off Moka's very attractive body, especially her legs, with it going double for when she turns into Inner Moka.
• Mutual Envy: In the anime, Inner Moka realizes Tsukune fell for her other side first, and actually likes her other persona, because she is a way to better enjoy the outside world, and even envies her for it. In return, Outer Moka gets a little jealous Inner Moka got close to Tsukune, though she does lampshade the irony of essentially being jealous of herself.
• Non-Uniform Uniform: She is one of few female Yokai students who does not wear a neck ribbon.
• Only the Chosen May Wield: Tsukune is the only person who can remove the rosary. In one scene, Kurumu tries to remove it to release Inner Moka and turn the tide of a battle, but fails despite her Super-Strength. Although, Moka can remove it if she uses all her strength, but it is dangerous and painful. And risks permanently destroying the rosary.
• Our Vampires Are Different: Aside from the aforementioned invulnerability to sunlight, Moka has other differences from a traditional vampire. She doesn't sleep during the day and doesn't stay awake at night. She sleeps in a bed instead of a coffin and has a reflection in any mirror. She can also ingest human food without problem, even drinking tomato juice as a substitute for blood. She only drinks Tsukune's blood because she likes it. She also doesn't (or can't) turn into a bat, or wolf, or cloud of mist. Holy water is very painful to vampires, but in Moka's case, plain water will do.
• Out-of-Clothes Experience: In her mind-scape, the personality that is not in control of the body is naked. Neither make any comment about this.
• Power Limiter: The rosary around her neck, which keeps her Super-Powered Alter Ego in check. It was initially put onto her to repress her power, which allowed Moka's mother Akasha to re-seal the monster Alucard. Even when not wearing the rosary it still suppresses her shinzo power so Moka is even her unsealed vampire form is not as strong as she could be. All this is undone after the rosary is destroyed and she gets another blood transfusion from Tsukune, giving her her full shinzo power.
• Replacement Goldfish: Aqua had a little sister figure named Jasmine who was killed by humans. Jasmine happened to look a lot like Moka, which explains Aqua's borderline obsessive attachment to her half-sister.
• Romantic Vampire Boy: Rare Female Example. She's a cute vampire girl and the main love interest of Tsukune.
• School Idol: She is 1st ranked when it comes to hotness, being the most popular girl in school.
• Single-Target Sexuality: Both Mokas fall in love with Tsukune and never want to be with anyone but him. Inner Moka is just more Tsundere about it for a long time.
• Split Personality: The cute and bubbly Outer Moka is the one usually in control. When Tsukune takes off the rosary, Inner Moka comes out and her personality is much colder and menacing. Inner Moka is the original and Outer Moka was created when Akasha put the rosary onto Moka.
• Split-Personality Makeover: Outer Moka has pink hair and green Tareme Eyes, while Inner Moka has silver hair and red Tsurime Eyes.
• Split-Personality Merge: The epilogue has Issa explain to Tsukune that the woman that disappeared before his eyes was Akasha, and that while Outer Moka may have lost her form that her soul is in all likelihood is still in Moka's body. Shortly after Tsukune notices that Moka's white hair has begun to tinge pink at the tips heavily implying that the two have become one. This overlapped so completely with Inner Moka's defrosting that the merge wasn't at all clear (to Tsukune or to the audience) until Issa mentioned this.
• Split-Personality Switch Trigger: The pink-haired and sweet Outer Moka turns into the silver-haired and intimidating Inner Moka whenever Tsukune removes the rosary from her choker. It's later revealed that Outer Moka is in fact an artificial personality created by the rosary to keep Inner Moka's Shinso vampire powers sealed. Although the rosary is destroyed at the end of the manga, the personalities of the two Mokas merge into one.
• Split-Personality Team: Both personalities get along well, with Inner Moka acting as something of a big sister to Outer Moka. In Season II, Outer Moka becomes smarter and helps Inner Moka come up with a strategy in a troublesome fight with a gremlin that multiplies, proving they're the most efficient when they work together as one.
• Superhuman Transfusion: Moka was barely alive when her mother Akasha gave birth to her. To save her life, Akasha injected her True Ancestor blood into Moka. However, this also made Moka linked to the sealed Alucard and the awakening of her True Ancestor power caused Alucard to go on a rampage, forcing Akasha to seal Moka's power with the rosary.
• Talking to Themself: The two Mokas can communicate with each other through the rosary.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Outer is the cutesy Nice Girl who can't fight much (Girly Girl) and Inner is the tough, emotionally distant Action Girl (Tomboy).
• Took a Level in Badass: She was already a badass, but In the final chapters of the manga she unlocks her full shinzo power, which enhances all her other abilities and allows her to unlock new ones. Like the power of creation (to give herself a armor suit and create explosions powerful enough to destroy Alucard) and shapeshifting. Before that she gained enough strength and/or determination to deliver a kick to her wicked-step mother, fairy-Tales second strongest vampire (only behind Alucard), powerful enough to tear her face.
• Trademark Favorite Food: She just loves Tsukune's blood.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: She has a lot of attraction with Tsukune throughout both manga series.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her repeatedly injecting Tsukune with her blood to power him up or save his life eventually resulted in him manifesting a Ghoul alter-ego. She's rightfully horrified to find this out.
• Vampires Are Sex Gods: Outer Moka is a beautiful girl, but about as "sensual" and "vampish" as a cardboard box. Inner Moka, on the other hand, is very much more sensual and vampish.
• Vegetarian Vampire: Moka is usually anemic because she usually drinks tomato juice, with the occasional blood transfusion pack.
  • Double Subverted. Her first act upon running into Tsukune is to bite his neck and she becomes instantly addicted to Tsukune's blood. But her bite is treated like necking Tsukune, though it does deplete his energy. Even in the very end when Tsukune has become a full fledged vampire, a completely defrosted Inner Moka has become the sole personality, and the idea of it being more or less cannibalism still doesn't stop her from snagging a drink and swooning over how delicious it is.
• Weaksauce Weakness: The purifying properties of water are harmful to vampires like Moka. She needs to add herbs to her bath water to stop it from hurting her.

Tropes applying to Outer Moka

• A-Cup Angst: She's actually quite ample in bust size, but Kurumu tries to make her self-conscious with her own rack at least once. To be fair, ANYONE's would look small when compared to those of a succubus.
  Kurumu: Oh, sorry! Did I bump into you? Your chest is so small, I didn't even notice!
• Because You Were Nice to Me: She loves Tsukune because he accepted to be her first friend and wasn't afraid of her for being a vampire.
• Betty and Veronica: She's the wholesome Betty to the shameless flirt Kurumu's Veronica.
• Beware the Nice Ones: As demonstrated in Kurumu's introductory story, she may not enjoy fighting in this form, but you provoke her just enough...^{Case in point} Once her other self alerts her to the true danger of leaving Kurumu alone with Tsukune, she charges into the hospital wing and defenestrates the succubus effortlessly.

• Bully Magnet: She was bullied in her previous school because humans thought she was weird for believing in monsters.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef: She knows how to cook well, but the problem is that she can't drink normal water because she's a vampire. She only cooks with herbal water so all of her food tastes like grass.
• Covert Pervert: After seeing Ruby get off on being shocked, the other girls try it and Moka is the one who enjoys it the most.
• Crash-Into Hello: She first met Tsukune when she accidentally ran him over with her bike.
• Cute Little Fangs: Inner Moka's fangs are a little too long to qualify.
• Death of Personality: She's seemingly destroyed when Alucard destroys her rosary. Ultimately subverted by the end, as Outer Moka's soul remains in Inner Moka's body, leading to a Split-Personality Merge in the finale.
• Died in Your Arms Tonight: With the rosary destroyed, Outer Moka's personality slowly fades away as Tsukune holds her in his arms.
• The Ditz: She can be an airhead sometimes. She's actually matured a fair amount in later chapters.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Often accidentally sends people flying and crushes them with hugs. Inner Moka, on the other hand, is very well aware of how strong she is.
• Duplicate Divergence: According to Moka's parents, Outer Moka did start as an exact replica of Akasha occupating her daughter's body, but by the time she "died" she had already grown into her own individual and a true part of Moka's personality that stays present even after the rosary is destroyed.
• Dying Declaration of Love: After the rosary is damaged beyond repair, she and Tsukune confess their love for each other before Outer Moka's consciousness completely vanishes.
• Friendless Background: As a child, she had no friends due to other kids making fun of her for believing in monsters.
• Girl Next Door: She's by far the nicest and most relatively "normal" of Tsukune's harem as her vampire powers are sealed, making Tsukune feel at ease with her.
• The Glomp: She has the tendency to jump on Tsukune when she meets him, mostly because she wants to drink his blood.
• Grew Beyond Their Programming: She's revealed to be a magically created intelligence produced by the rosary while the real Moka is sealed, yet she has established a personal identity of her own. Mikogami notes her to be the most lifelike "fake personality" he's ever seen. At the end of the manga, Akasha explains that Outer Moka started as a duplicate of her personality without her memories. Throughout the years Outer Moka spent in Moka's body, she became a part of Moka's soul itself. Because of this, despite Outer Moka disappearing when the rosary is destroyed, her personality has already fused with the other Moka.
• Helpless Good Side: She's the nicer personality of the two Mokas, but her vampire powers are nearly entirely sealed and this makes her almost as weak as the human Tsukune in a fight. Tsukune must pull off the rosary to make Inner Moka come out when there's the need to kick some monster's ass.
• Jerkass Realization: In chapter 7 of the manga, when Kurumu skips out on the Newspaper Club, Moka speculates that Kurumu doesn't actually care about the club or think of her as friends. It reaches a head when Kurumu walks out on them again when their half-finished newspaper draft goes missing; Moka snaps, openly accuses Kurumu of only thinking about herself when everyone else is having a hard time, and orders her to just leave the club and not come back. Shortly after, they discover a blackmail letter and multiple dirty photos addressed to Kurumu in the Newspaper Club's toolbox, and they realize that Kurumu has been acting the way she is because she's being the victim of blackmail and stalking, courtesy of Nagare Kano. Moka is hit with this, and when they go to help her out, she outright bursts into tears while apologizing:
  Moka: I'm sorry! I didn't know about it and misunderstood your intentions!
• Killed Off for Real: When Alucard not only stabs her with several tentacles, but one that nearly punctured her heart destroys the rosary that created her personality.
• Last Kiss: She and Tsukune kiss before her personality disappears as a result of the rosary being destroyed.
• Magical Girlfriend: She's Tsukune's primary love interest, and is a vampire with supernatural powers.
• Meido: She's dressed as a French maid in a piece of official character artwork.
• Naïve Everygirl: She starts the series completely clueless about practically everything, and due to her past didn't feel like she'd fit in. Following her chance meeting with Tsukune, she gradually grows out of this.
• Nice Girl: She's the nicest girl in Tsukune's harem. She's usually sweet, bubbly, and cheerful.
• Pink Means Feminine: Pink hair, very girly, sweet, and bubbly.
• The Pollyanna: She lost her memories from a significant part of her childhood, and doesn't understand why her mother disappeared. She also suffered from social ostracism, being unable to talk about her problems or share her true nature with anyone (not to mention her Bratty Half-Pint little sister kept attacking her), but come high school, she's quite balanced and friendly.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the more docile and passive Blue Oni to Kurumu's more assertive and direct Red Oni. Ironically, Outer Moka is pink-haired and Kurumu is blue-haired.
• Rose-Haired Sweetie: Her pretty pink hair emphasizes her cheerful, sweet, and romantic personality in contrast to the colder white-haired Inner Moka.
• Satellite Love Interest: Outer Moka is obviously designed to be Tsukune's main love interest. Take that away and all that's left is a cute vampire girl without anything else of note. Possibly justified by the fact that she was an artificial personality based on Moka's mother created by the rosary. She apparently was close to being a Blank Slate when she met Tsukune.
• Secret-Keeper: The first, and initially only, member of the harem to know that Tsukune is human.
• Smarter Than You Look: For the most part, she's naive to the point of coming across as The Ditz. In season II of the manga, she shows that she can be quite clever and helps her Inner self come up with battle strategies.
• Strong as They Need to Be: Her strength varies according to the plot. Sometimes, she is able to knock over trees and pick up giant mallets. Sometimes, she can be restrained by human mooks.
  • Also, despite being able to knock around Kokoa and beat her every time when sparing as children (leaving her scratched and on her knees), for some reason she couldn’t lift the shape-shifting bat-weapon at that age despite Kokoa being able to carry it as a present (though it was a memory which are confirmed to be capable of beign altered). Yet when OUTER Moka was deaged to a young child she was able to wield that bat herself.
• Strong Family Resemblance: She looks like a carbon copy of her mother. Because she is!
• Tareme Eyes: Her eyes are droopy and gentle like her personality.
• Too Kinky to Torture: Like Ruby, it turns out she rather enjoys getting shocked.
• Tragic Bigot: Like many of the other monster characters, though in her case it was very brief and mild. She tells Tsukune, before she knows he's human, that she "[doesn't] like humans very much" because of how ostracized and alienated she felt when she attended a human school. When she discovers that Tsukune is a human, she takes a step back in shock and refuses to believe it, but almost immediately after Tsukune runs off she runs after him and when she finally finds him she says she doesn't care if he's human.

Tropes applying to Inner Moka

• Action Girlfriend: Every time Inner Moka shows up, it's pretty much guaranteed that someone is going to get their ass kicked.
• Adaptational Badass: While by no means a wimp, in the manga's Season II Inner Moka was sometimes likely to get her ass kicked as well as to kick ass (largely because other vampires with more powers became more prominent). Capu2, which ignored the manga's darker plots, kept her as the Invincible Hero she was in the first serialization.
• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When Gyokuro reveals the True Ancestor blood that Moka injected into Tsukune has started the process that will turn him into a mindless ghoul, Inner Moka throws away her pride and gets on her knees to beg her evil stepmother to tell her a way they can help Tsukune because he just means that much to her.
• Aloof Big Sister: Subverted. She only seems distant from her little sister Kokoa because of her naturally standoffish personality. It is actually revealed that Moka is the only one in the family who respects Kokoa as a person. She's also the nicest sister to Kokoa.
• Anti-Hero: Pre-Character Development, she's very cold and kicks the ass of the Monster of the Week because their existence annoys her before any heroic motivation. Growing to care about Tsukune and their friends makes her grow into a more properly heroic character.
• Always Someone Better: Her sister Kokoa was never able to beat her in a fight. Moka herself isnt as strong or powerful as her older sisters.
• Badass Adorable: Yes, even Inner Moka starts to have more and more Moe moments. In the final chapter, she is exactly as adorable as Outer Moka, yet she still can kick someone's ass if she wants to.
• Batman Gambit: In chapter 3, she calls Tamao and the rest of the Swim Club minnows to deliberately piss them off, figuring that they'd follow her wherever she went. She took advantage of it the instant they jumped after her when she took the fight out of the water.
• Battle Couple: Eventually, Tsukune reaches her level of power and both share very awesome moments of fighting together especially during the final battle against Alucard.
• Beware the Nice Ones: The final chapter reveals that she has become a sweetheart, almost exactly like the deceased Outer Moka. That doesn't stop her from kicking her friends in the ass when they annoy her.
• Big Sister Instinct: Funnily enough, Inner Moka can act as a protective older sister to her Outer self. She tends to make sure that Outer Moka eats, bathes and does her homework as usual and looks out for her well-being. Also, her main motive for protecting Tsukune is because Outer Moka loves him, at least until she starts falling for him herself. Given that Outer Moka is a copy of her mother, it could be said they are sisters in a sense.
• Black Comedy Cannibalism: The final chapter reveals that she's still addicted to Tsukune's blood despite the fact that he's now a full vampire. There is a narrate box that lampshades that's cannibalism.
• Character Catchphrase: "Know your place!" (Mi no hodo o shire!)
• Cooldown Hug: Tsukune gives her one in a very heartwarming scene.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: In Season I, every fight with a monster ends the instant Inner Moka comes put because her kicks are just the powerful. In Season II, her wins don't come so easy after enemies on her level are introduced.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: She was very cold at first to everyone, but eventually starts warming up to Tsukune, especially after he puts himself in danger against other monsters just to unseal her. As of late you almost can't tell that she was once very standoffish towards him. She still refuses to admit it, though, putting her into full-on Tsundere status. The epilogue chapter reveals that her personality become almost exactly like Outer Moka and all of her coldness have disappeared.
• Diving Save: Catches Tsukune as he falls down unconscious from his brutal fight with her step-mom. Complete with tears and slow motion.
• Evil Laugh: A heroic example. She does this twice in the second serialization: in chapter 1, after roundhouse kicking Tsukune as punishment for touching her, and in chapter 6, right before curb-stomping the doppelgänger that dared steal her face and mimic her abilities.
• Fight Off the Kryptonite: Pulls it off in the Beach Episode to save Tsukune from the Swimming Club mermaids.
• Girly Bruiser: She's the strongest girl in Tsukune's harem and her kicks are devastating. When she finally can have a day of being free to use the body thanks to a magic whip, Inner Moka dresses up, puts on make-up, and goes shopping with Tsukune to buy lots of pretty clothes.
• Good is Not Nice: She generally fights to protect Tsukune, but is often annoyed when she's called forth to deal with such problems as the other members of Tsukune's Unwanted Harem fighting over him in the human world and nearly breaking The Masquerade in the process. What really sealed her as this trope is her defeat of Kurumu early on: to make sure she never tried to attack them again, Inner Moka fully intended to rip off Kurumu's wings and tail, and would have done so if Tsukune didn't talk her out of it.
• Hates Being Touched: She's fine with holding hands with Tsukune, but won't allow anything more than that. Though it seems like this mellowed out, and in latest chapters she allowed Tsukune to hug her, and even hugged him herself few times.
• He Is Not My Boyfriend: Fang-Fang's impression of the relationship between Inner Moka and Tsukune gets this reaction out of her.
• Heroic BSoD: Being told by Gyokuro that she'll be the death of Tsukune due to the injections of her blood (which contains traces of Alucard's own blood) hit her quite hard.
• Horrifying Hero: In her early appearances, when she was drawn at her most menacing. Even Tsukune was afraid of her at first.
• Invincible Hero: Capu2, as it ignored the manga's darker plots, turned her into this.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's a very difficult person to deal with compared to the friendly Outer Moka, but she's not a bad person at all. Eventually, she grows to care about everyone in the Newspaper Club, especially Tsukune.
• Jerkass Has a Point: After saving Mizore from death and being explicitly told that they won't get a thank you, Inner Moka promptly kicks her into next month and tells her to actually try living before she considers killing herself; while she could have done so in a less violent way, Mizore acknowledges she has a point.
• Kick Chick: She relies only on high kicks in battle.
• Lady of War: She fights with a lot of finesse and style.
• Lazy Bum: Of a sort, she treats having the rosary removed and becoming the dominant personality to be akin to being woken from a nap too soon, complains of feeling drowsy, and requests to put her back to sleep by Tsukune.
• Lethal Chef: Her first attempt at cooking, a pumpkin pie, results in a giant slimy thing that destroys the Home Ec room and tastes so horrible that just one bite made Kokoa of all people keel over and barf, resulting in Kokoa being carried out on a gurney hooked up on an IV. Her second attempt, a cake, ended up hard as a rock, more burned than charcoal, and looked more like someone had detonated an explosive device in the kitchen than anything that could be called "cooking."
• Locked into Strangeness: After the rosary is destroyed, Inner Moka gains back full control of the body, but eventually, the tips of her hair turn pink like Outer Moka's, as a hint that both personalities have become one rather than Outer Moka completely vanishing.
• Love Is a Weakness: She initially refuses to come to terms with her feelings for Tsukune because she passionately believes that love will make her weak. She eventually accepts her feelings and stays as badass as before.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: She's a tough tomboy who tends towards masculine hobbies like kicking ass, even jokingly. Tsukune is weaker and more sensitive than her, so she's the Masculine Girl to Tsukune's Feminine Boy. By the end of the manga, Tsukune takes a level in badass and Inner Moka takes a level in cheerfulness, causing them to outgrow the trope.
• Modesty Bedsheet: The first anime ending has her naked in bed with nothing but a bedsheet covering her body.
• Ms. Exposition: Early on in the manga, when not delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle, Inner Moka's purpose is to drop some exposition about monsters' abilities or how injecting Tsukune with her blood gives him the powers of a vampire.
• My God, What Have I Done?: She's completely shocked and guilt-stricken when Gyokuro tells her Tsukune is going to transform into a ghoul because of the True Ancestor blood she injected into him to save his life.
• Mystical White Hair: According to legends, vampires of the highest order were said to possess both red eyes and silver hair. Inner Moka is proof of this.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: If she doesn't flash a creepy smile at her opponents right after transforming, it means she's so furious, said opponents had better get the fuck out of Dodge while they still can, because the curb-stomping may be more brutal than usual.
  • Up until the first Ghoul arc in the manga, Moka had delivered all her beatings via her feet. When fighting against Tsukune after he had turned into a Ghoul and she herself had been severely weakened by a water trap, she went in against him using her fists, elbows, and knees. Up until then, it was the first time that she had been so desperate during a fight.
• Power Makes Your Voice Deep: When Outer switches to Inner with the removal of her Power Limiter, Moka's voice tumbles down many pitches.
• Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: She does this quite a lot when she's in the mood (excluding her catchphrase "Know your place!", which is a Pre-Mortem One-Liner). For example:
  Inner Moka: I hope you didn't see a doppelgänger... because, you know, that means you're going to die.
  [Inner Moka emits a sinister chuckle at her own one-liner]
• Proud Warrior Race Girl: Par the course for being a pure-bred vampire, Inner Moka takes great pride in her power and dislikes being in touch with emotions because she only views them as a distraction.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Outer Moka's green eyes turn red when she transforms into Inner Moka. This is one of the traits that identify her as a Shinso vampire.
• Roundhouse Kick: She does these, and at the same time does a Panty Shot when her skirt is short enough.
• Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: Ironically, she's the original, and Outer Moka is a fake personality, so she's sealed in her own body.
• Sexier Alter Ego: She's much more alluring than the cute Outer Moka. In the anime, her chest goes up at least a cup size whenever she transforms.
• Sexy Mentor: After Tsukune develops powers of a vampire because of her blood, Inner Moka decides to train him so he can learn to control his powers and fight better. Her first lesson with him involved Moka dressing up and taking Tsukune out on a date.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: She's always beautiful, but Tsukune is still awestruck the first time he sees her wearing a dress and make-up for their "date".
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: Is prone to giving these out, typically followed by a kick to the face:
  • While dealing with Miss Ririko for brainwashing Tsukune:
    Ms. Ririko: I am a teacher!
    Inner Moka: No, you're just a pathetic excuse for one.
  • During the final episode of the anime's first season, she delivers a truly epic one to Kuyou in response to his rants about how he's in charge of preserving order and protecting the peace:
    Inner Moka: You've been swallowed up by your own vile ambition, and you and your Security Committee goons are out of control. Therefore, you've lost the right to preach about preserving order and protecting the peace. So, Kuyou, I think it's time you LEARNED YOUR PLACE! (proceeds to drop-kick Kuyou through the floor)
  • Also does it in the manga during the fight with Gyokuro. When she realizes that Moka's rosary actually doesn't give her the power to control Alucard, she begs Moka not to take it back, since it's the only thing keeping Alucard from devouring her. Eventually, Moka gets sick of it, yanks the rosary back, and leaves Gyokuro to her Karmic Death with these words:
    Inner Moka: Enough. If you want mercy, ask my mother.
• Sink or Swim Mentor: She teaches Tsukune how to sense other monsters' energy by taking him on a "date" with her and deliberately making the rest of the Unwanted Harem jealous so Tsukune can detect their presence and dodge their attacks.
• Smug Super: Being a Shinso vampire makes her one of the most powerful monsters there is. Naturally, she's confident that almost any enemy she faces won't be a challenge for her.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Inner Moka acts cold, aloof and serious, a total opposite to the sweet Outer Moka. Eventually, Inner Moka does show a softer and cute side as she develops feelings for Tsukune.
• Super-Powered Alter Ego: Inner Moka has full access to her Shinso vampire powers, making her vastly more powerful than Outer Moka, who is no different from an ordinary girl. It's revealed that Inner Moka and her powers need to be sealed with the rosary because unleashing her Shinso powers will awaken Alucard. Outer Moka is just an artificial personality controlling the body while Inner Moka is sealed.
• Terror Hero: She gives off this vibe quite a bit. One of her most obvious moments is when she strikes terror into the hearts of Wanibuchi and his cronies in chapter 5 of the first serialization.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Initially, she's cold and aloof. In the final chapter, she's much more energetic than Outer Moka ever was.
• Took a Level in Kindness: She slowly mellows out, however this trope truly comes into play in the final chapter where she's almost as affectionate as the Outer Moka was (though she's nowhere near as gentle).
• Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Her powers as a Shinso vampire first awoke after she witnessed her older half-sister Aqua cutting her mother in half. This caused a MUCH bigger problem as Moka unleashing her true power also awoke Alucard from his sleep.
• Tsundere: Harsh type. She's standoffish and intimidating, which makes her much harder for Tsukune to approach than the sweet Outer Moka. She does grow to love Tsukune like Outer Moka, but she rarely ever admits it, and often hits him when he annoys her. By the end of the series, after the rosary is destroyed and she merges personalities with Outer Moka, Inner Moka has dropped the tsun-tsun entirely and openly expresses her love for Tsukune.
• Tsurime Eyes: The most notable difference between her and Outer Moka is that Inner Moka's eyes are narrower, giving her a much more imposing gaze.
• Unreliable Expositor: In Season I, Inner Moka claims that injecting her blood into Tsukune won't turn him into a monster because she's just letting him borrow her vampire power temporarily. Turns out Moka's vampire blood did start to transform Tsukune into a ghoul/incomplete vampire and he only stays human takes to the seal given to him by the academy's headmaster.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: She was a lot less cold and way nicer when she was a child before she witnessed her mother being devoured by a monster and then had her memories altered.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Hurting Tsukune is a very good way to piss her off. Just ask Kuyo and a few others who made that same mistake.
  Inner Moka: If Tsukune doesn't make it, you'd better be ready! I'll tear your heart out and grind it under my heel!
• When She Smiles: She shows Tsukune her first truly sweet smile when he enjoys eating the pumpkin pie she made for him.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Downplayed. While she's silver-haired, she's not a bad person, but she's still cold and a dangerous opponent. She mellows out over time, though.
• The Worf Effect: While she usually didn't need help in her fights in part I, part II started subjecting her to this, starting with Kahlua, whom Moka outright admitted she didn't stand a chance against.
• You Are Not Alone: Tsukune tells her this when she decides to shoulder fighting Aqua alone and is willing to destroy her "Outer" persona to do it.
• You Are Worth Hell: Yup, she's worth it. Especially to Tsukune.

Kurumu Kurono

Voiced by: Misato Fukuen (JP), Brina Palencia (EN)

A busty succubus attending Yokai Academy. She was initially a rival to Moka, being jealous of her popularity surpassing her own, and attempted to seduce Tsukune and the male student body to find her "Mate of Fate", as her kind is near the brink of extinction. After she was badly beaten during a fight with Inner Moka, Tsukune persuades Inner Moka to spare her, and as a result, Kurumu not only became friends with the pair, but also becomes infatuated with Tsukune, and makes a decision that he will be her "Mate of Fate".

---

• Absurdly Sharp Claws: Can slice through trees and guns with them.
• Action Girl: She isn't just a hot girl that tries to seduce Tsukune. While not on Moka's level, she's fully capable of fighting other people physically.
• Alliterative Name: Kurumu Kurono.
• Attention Whore: She always tries to garner attention from Tsukune and other boys, but soon does less of it.
• Be a Whore to Get Your Man: She seduces Tsukune to get him to like her. Well she is a succubus so...
• Berserk Button: Don't call her a slut, and do not bring up that time when Keito called her a slut.
• Betty and Veronica: As Moka's first love rival for Tsukune's affection, the flirtatious and assertive Kurumu is the Veronica to Moka's Betty since Moka is much less forward... unless her Inner self comes out.
• Big-Breast Pride: Has the biggest chest of the Unwanted Harem, not unexpected since she is a succubus. She is extremely proud of them and loves to take advantage of them with the males.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: At first when she acted innocent towards Tsukune to steal him from Moka.
• Buxom Beauty Standard: She has many admirers because of her big chest and repeatedly invokes this trope as her major selling point in her quest for coming up on top of Tsukune's Unwanted Harem. She was even voted the brea- best trope picture we have got.
• Character Catchphrase: "Yahoo!", or "Yahoo-hoo!" for extra cuteness.
• Charm Person: By looking into a man's eyes, she can control him as if he were a marionette.
• The Chew Toy: You won't believe the crap that Kurumu is put through, whether that is getting hit with a basin, getting covered in blood, getting molested and/or harassed by multiple different monsters on several occasions, getting exposed, etc.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: She is very possessive of Tsukune after falling in love with him, taking any opportunity she can to try and make him her's. The first season of the anime exaggerates this.
• Character Exaggeration: The anime adaptation plays up the Succubi and Incubi aspect of her personality while toning down the more kindhearted aspects of her character; Capu2 makes it a point to make her resemble her manga counterpart more closely.
• Cute Monster Girl: Her true form is the most monstrous among the main female cast, and even then all it does is give her wings, a tail, and long, sharp fingernails, with her retaining her cute and attractive human-like appearance.
• Declaration of Protection: She has decided to stay by Tsukune's side and protect him.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: One of the few Harem manga who actually explores the suffering of the secondary girls who cannot get their Love Interest because he is committed with the female lead. Kurumu loves Tsukune, but he is in love with Moka and the fact that she is aware that she has no chance with him causes her severe psychological pain, so severe that it can literally kill her. However, it might have been reconstructed; Kurumu decides she will continue to love Tsukune even if it costs her life, but she realizes romantic love isn't the only one she wants to live for anymore because her friends from the Unwanted Harem are important to her too. The ending of the series implies Kurumu will likely be alright as long as she can stay close to Tsukune and her friends, although she still tries getting Moka's permission to seduce Tsukune in dreams so she can relieve some pain in her heart every once in a while.
• The Dog Bites Back: After an entire chapter of being tormented by Camera Fiend Nagare Kano, she deals with him by using her succubus powers against him to such great effect, Tsukune didn't need to remove Moka's rosario for once.
• Dream Walker: Succubi can enter people's dreams to seduce men and even have children. In the epilogue, Kurumu was planning on going after Tsukune this way, taking her friend Mizore along for the ride, and even managed to get Moka's reluctant permission. But so many other girls found out and wanted to join in that Tsukune woke up and she grumpily called the whole thing off.
• Dude, He's Like, in a Coma!: She came close to kissing Tsukune while he was unconscious in her room.
• Dude Magnet: Like Moka, she is quite popular in school and she knows it!
• Early-Bird Cameo: Before she's properly introduced in episode 2 of the anime, the viewer can spot her in the initial scenes in the classroom, in the debut episode.
• Easily Forgiven: She tries to kill Tsukune, but the mention that she's trying to keep her race going is all that it takes for him to get Moka to spare her.
• Everyone Has Standards: She's a succubus that is constantly trying to seduce Tsukune into giving up on Moka and being her man, but despite the fact she has all the powers necessary to make that a quick and easy task, she never uses any of that because she is genuinely in love with him and wants him to love her back from the bottom of his heart. Even as the pain of her unrequited love is quite literally killing her, she outright refuses to force him to return her affections.
• Feminine Women Can Cook: She certainly thinks so and hopes that it gives her a leg up on Moka.
• Femme Fatalons: She can lengthen the nails on her hands and feet into sharp claws.
• Flipping the Bird: Does this to Moka in chapter 2 of the manga using the V-Sign.
• Forceful Kiss: In chapter 41 she gives one that distracts the transformed Ghoul Tsukune long enough for Touhou Fuhai to give the 109th needle to complete the body modification procedure.
• Friendless Background: While she's popular at the school, Kurumu admits she never made real friends until she joined the Newspaper Club with Tsukune and Moka.
• Girly Bruiser: She's very girly, but aggressive at the same time.
• The Glomp: Does this very often to Tsukune. Mostly combined with Marshmallow Hell.
• Good Bad Girl: She is a compassionate and kind-hearted girl in spite of her seductive succubus nature. She flirts shamelessly with Tsukune, but staunchly refuses to take advantage of him, preferring to win him over fairly.
• Harem Seeker: When she arrived at the Yokai Academy, her plan was to make every single male student into a member of her harem. That quickly changes when she falls in love with Tsukune.
• The Heart: It's her influence that makes the group True Companions, instead of the bickering, jealous collection of loners they used to be. After Cerebus Syndrome hits in the Snow Village Arc, this trope comes out in full force.
• Heel–Face Turn: She originally wanted to screw over Moka simply because of jealousy. After being defeated, she becomes her ally and romantic rival. Ironically, this is MORE profound in the anime than the manga, as her animated counterpart is more of an asshole, and her Heel–Face Turn cranks this down by a severe degree.
• Honor Before Reason: As a succubus, she literally has all she needs to make Tsukune love her and only her. Too bad for her that she really is a good girl.
• Hopeless Boss Fight: Fighting Aqua was never going to end well.
• Hopeless Suitor: In Season II, she's gradually forced to admit Tsukune will never love her romantically because he only has eyes for Moka. This becomes a serious problem as unrequited love might literally kill her because of her succubus nature. However, Kurumu refuses to stop loving Tsukune and wants to stay close to him even if he won't ever love her in the same way, although she would like Moka to let her seduce Tsukune inside their dreams at the very least.
• House Wife: According to her fantasies, and the time she charmed Tsukune by mistake, she would become this if she and Tsukune got married.
• Hypnotic Eyes: Her "Charm" technique, used by succubi to control men.
• It's Personal: Her attitude towards Keito after the latter calls her a "dumb, slutty airhead".
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She might act self-centered and bratty, especially early on, but when it comes down to it she simply cannot stop herself from doing the decent, compassionate and kind-hearted thing even if it costs her own happiness.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: As soon as Inner Moka is finished kicking her ass, Kurumu agrees to stop and back off Tsukune (though Inner Moka briefly threatened to rip her wings and tail off just to make sure before Tsukune talked her out of it).
• Leg Focus: As an extension of her overall Ms. Fanservice status, her short skirt and her loose socks are prime material for Male Gaze shots involving her legs, especially the thighs.
• Love Hurts: She breaks down in tears in one of the rare moments she admits to know Tsukune will never be only hers because he only wants Moka. A succubus literally lives on love. Being heartbroken over Tsukune is LITERALLY killing her.
• Lovely Angels: With Mizore, starting in Season II.
• Magic Kiss: One of her powers as a succubus is turning anyone she kisses into her slave. She tries this with Tsukune in her introduction and does it to Mizore by accident after Kurumu kisses her to snap her out of the suicidal angst of having her first kiss stolen by her creepy fiancé.
• Manipulative Bitch: At first when she first met Tsukune.
• Marshmallow Hell: A Running Gag in the series involves Kurumu smothering Tsukune with her breasts as a greeting, often to the point of suffocation.
• Master of Illusion: One of her succubus powers is the ability to create illusions that can cause physical damage.
• Ms. Fanservice: One wonders why she even bothers wearing a skirt if she's just going to show off her panties all the time. Plus, she is the most well-endowed.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Says something along this line when she realizes in a chapter from the second manga volume that she charmed Tsukune by mistake; what follows is a tear jerker story that shows how troubled she really is and how honorable she is as well.
• Never Bareheaded: She's almost never seen without her frilly black tiara and star-shaped hairpins. And even when her hair is down, the hairpins stay.
• Non-Uniform Uniform: Wears a yellow sleeveless sweater instead of a green jacket.
• Only You Can Repopulate My Race: Claims only one man in the world can sire a specific succubus' children, and she is convinced it is Tsukune.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: By any reasonable standard she is extremely badass, but Inner Moka is, well, Inner Moka. This is shown by Kurumu lasting over a minute against her, which is indicative of fairly serious power on Kurumu's part.
• Pointy Ears: Her ears are long and pointy in her real form.
• Proud Beauty: She's quite assured in her attractiveness, with her flaunting it every chance she gets, especially in her efforts to woo Tsukune.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the more assertive and direct Red Oni to Outer Moka's docile and passive Blue Oni. Funnily enough, Kurumu has blue hair and Outer Moka has pink hair.
• Rescue Romance: She falls in love with Tsukune for real when he stops Inner Moka from killing her.
• School Idol: Only Moka is more popular than her at the Yokai Academy.
• Second Place Is for Losers: She is 2nd place next to Moka when it comes to beauty and popularity at the school. Kurumu was NOT happy with this because she wanted to be at the top and tried to steal Tsukune from Moka out of spite.
• Sexy Sweater Girl: Her regular outfit includes a sleeveless sweater, which displays her chest while also being quite chaste.
• Shipper on Deck: At one point, ships Yukari x Moka so she can get together with Tsukune.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: Gives Kiria one of these after she saves Moka's life against Kiria's expectation that Kurumu would let Moka die so she could have Tsukune for herself, telling him that while she may be competing with Moka for Tsukune, that does not mean she hates Moka or wants her dead.
• Single-Target Sexuality: She already chose Tsukune as the love of her life and nothing will change her mind about that, not even the possibility that she might die because Tsukune is Moka-sexual.
• Slut-Shaming: Often by Yukari and other girls occasionally when mad. Ironically, Kurumu, herself, calls the other girls "skanks".
• Spanner in the Works: Gin's plan to remove Tsukune forcefully from a love triangle involving Moka only failed because she was about to comfort Tsukune just as Gin intercepted him. Kurumu followed them because she wanted to see when she was able to do so and stumbled across a certain episode behind the school involving a digital camera and the girls' locker room.
• Spit-Trail Kiss: She gave one to Tsukune. Except it turned out to be All Just a Dream.
• Succubi and Incubi: She's a succubus. Before she joined Tsukune's Unwanted Harem and abandoned her Jerkass ways, she was a Femme Fatale, actively seducing the school and trying to steal Tsukune from Moka. She can create illusions and get inside other people's dreams, all of which come in handy on a few occasions.
• Succubus in Love: Kurumu is a succubus who has a crush on Tsukune. In her case, this could be lethal for her because a succubus can literally die from unrequited love.
• Supreme Chef: The cookies she bakes are delicious.
• The Power of Love: This and desire are the Power Source behind a succubus' life.
• The Tease: Always shoves her breasts in Tsukune's face.
• Took a Level in Kindness: In her first appearance, not only is she perfectly fine with charming people by the score, when Tsukune rejects her, she outright tries to murder him. After joining the Newspaper Club and befriending both Tsukune and Moka, Kurumu becomes The Heart of the group and a Chivalrous Pervert who refuses to use her charm powers to take advantage of Tsukune.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Cookies.
• The Vamp: In her first appearance, she tried to seduce Tsukune to spite Moka.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Mizore. They bicker and butt heads quite often, but they're still good friends, as proven when Kurumu saved Mizore from a suicide attempt and comforted her. They even have a Combination Attack.
• Why Can't I Hate You?: She thought several times that it would have been way easier for her if she could hate Moka for being Tsukune's love interest, but Moka is too dear of a friend for Kurumu to ever resent her.
• Winged Humanoid: A succubus' true form has bat-like wings, a tail, Pointy Ears, and long, sharp fingernails.
• Wolverine Claws: In her true form, her fingernails turn into long claws.

Yukari Sendo

Voiced by: Kimiko Koyama (JP), Monica Rial (EN)

The smartest student at Yokai Academy, and the youngest at age 11. As a witch, she has problems with her classmates discriminating against her (according to Kurumu, witches are viewed as "Beings of the Borderline", those that are something between humans and the supernatural, as it is impossible to tell their difference by appearance alone). Despite ranking #1 on the examinations, she was a lonely prankster before meeting Tsukune and Moka. She initially hated Tsukune, claiming that she has fallen in love with Moka, and uses her magical powers to try to drive them apart. However, after both Tsukune and Moka save her from bullying classmates, she falls for him too, and her obsession with both has driven her to try to create a three-way relationship between them.

---

• A-Cup Angst: She's the only flat-chested member of the Unwanted Harem and is annoyed by this in large part due to being teased by Kurumu. When she uses magic to temporarily age herself up, it's revealed that this is solely because Yukari is only 11 years old.
• Adaptational Early Appearance: In the manga, Yukari appears after the Swimming Club incident and after Ginei's introduction. In the anime, she appears before either of them.
• All of the Other Reindeer: Before Tsukune came along, she was ostracized by most of the other students and a victim of Fantastic Racism for being a witch, though her constant pranks and screwball tendencies certainly didn't help. After Tsukune and Moka save her from the lizardmen, she apologizes to the other students for her actions, who in turn feel guilty for how they mistreated her.
• Attention Whore: In her introduction, Yukari was known for being something of a problem child who pulled pranks around the school. However, Moka can figure out that Yukari was only trying to get attention because she was lonely.
• Badass Adorable: Don't think this Cute Witch can't defend herself, or those dear to her. You'll quickly get a washtub to the head or sliced to pieces by razorsharp tarot cards.
• Book Smart: She's ranked #1 in test scores at the academy.
• Brainy Brunette: Has brown hair and is intelligent.

• Dirty Kid: She's only 11, but is openly bisexual and often fantasizes about having a three-way with Tsukune and Moka.
• Drop the Washtub: Often uses her magic to do this.
• Fantastic Racism: Before her friendship with Tsukune, she disliked humans. Also, many monsters look down on witches for their resemblance to humans.
• Friendless Background: Due to being a witch, Yukari could never fit in with either monsters or humans so she never made friends until she joined the Newspaper Club and befriended its members.
• Grade Skipper: She's 11 and she's already in high school since she skipped several grades.
• Half-Breed Discrimination: Witches like Yukari are considered "half-breeds" in the monster world and this makes Yukari a target of Fantastic Racism.
• Hates Being Alone: Although she claims she's used to being alone because she's a witch, it's obvious she yearns for people who care and pay attention to her.
• Hopeless Suitor: When she is introduced, she is presented having a very open crush on Moka and later includes Tsukune in on that in a threeway fantasy. Neither of them necessarily appreciate it though, considering they are only interested in each other and Yukari is, you know, 11 years old.
• Incompatible Orientation: She has as big of a crush on Moka as on Tsukune, but Moka doesn't swing that way.
• Innocent Prodigy: She's a genius who is the best student at Yokai Academy, but she's also an 11-year-old girl and has the level of emotional maturity expected from her age.
• Instant Expert: She mastered Summoning Techniques instantly. 'Cuz she's a genius.
• Intelligence Equals Isolation: She's the smartest student with the best grades in the entire school, but before meeting Tsukune and the others, Yukari didn't have any friends because monsters discriminate against witches.
• Loner-Turned-Friend: She was a lonely witch who was ostracized because of Fantastic Racism until she meets Tsukune and Moka who let her join the Newspaper Club where she becomes part of her group of friends.
• Love at First Sight: She developed a crush on Moka by simply taking a look at her.
• Maybe Ever After: The epilogues reveal she will, in the future, become one of the leaders of the Huang mafia along Fang-Fang. Whether she becomes anything else with him is deliberately ambiguous.

• Shipper with an Agenda: She ships Tsukune-Moka, but only because she's planning to form a three-way with them after they get together.
• Signature Headgear: Yukari is almost never seen without her pointy witch hat.
• Species Surname: The "sen" in her surname can be translated to "mage" or "wizard" and the "do" means "child". As the surname suggests, Yukari is a child witch.

They will continue to be partners in the future.
• Token Mini-Moe: An 11/12-year-old among teenagers.
• Token Wizard: Out of everyone in Tsukune's Unwanted Harem (if you don't count Fang-Fang), Yukari is the only practitioner of magic, the others preferring to use raw strength and their monster powers when facing a problem.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Kokoa's Tomboy. Yukari is a Cute Witch who uses magic instead of physical combat in contrast with the battle-loving vampire girl Kokoa who fights with heavy and large weapons.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: In her debut, she is seen inappropriately groping Moka's breasts from behind in public and she uses her magic to torment Tsukune in increasingly troubling ways. The fact that she is as perverted as she is at such a young age is troubling as well.
• Verbal Tic: "Desu!"
• Yaoi Fangirl: She nosebleeds over a Boys' Love manga.

Mizore Shirayuki

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (JP), Tia Ballard (EN)

A yuki-onna who is in the same homeroom class as Tsukune and Moka, frequently seen with a lollipop in her mouth (yuki-onna are vulnerable to warm climates; doing so keeps their bodies cool). Mizore returns to school after a delayed absence and was first portrayed as a lonely, somewhat depressed, and misunderstood girl. She becomes infatuated with Tsukune, going so far as to create her own journal/scrapbook with all of his newspaper articles.

---

• Action Girl: Probably the second toughest fighter out of the main characters, behind only Inner Moka.
• Adaptational Early Appearance: In the manga, Mizore appears after the arcs involving Kuyou and Ruby. In the anime, she appears earlier than them.
• Arranged Marriage: In season II of the manga, the Yuki-Onna clan chooses Mizore to be the arranged wife/Sex Slave of a powerful and high-ranking member of Fairy Tale, all in order to stop the guy from leveling the Yuki-Onna village.
• Badass in Distress: An arc in season II of the manga centers around Mizore's friends and mother rescuing Mizore from her Arranged Marriage to a member of Fairy Tale.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: She's the most reserved member of the Unwanted Harem and can be deadly when using her ice powers.
• Broken Bird: In the past, she confessed her love to a teacher until he began taking advantage of her, freezing him as a result. With the incident and rumors spreading about her, Mizore made it hard for herself to trust anyone, but took a liking to Tsukune, believing he was just as miserable as she was. She eventually regains her sense of trust after Tsukune intervenes when the same teacher returns to kill her.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: While not as verbally blatant about it, Mizore has been shown to be just as possessive of Tsukune as Kurumu. It was at Yandere levels in her introduction, but following that lessens to just wanting to have him focus on her.
• Dark and Troubled Past: She was harassed by the gym teacher Mr. Kotsubo, who previously tried to molest her.
• Deadpan Snarker: Following her joining the main cast, she's shown to have quite the dry wit to her, making various snide remarks about the other harem members, Kurumu especially.
• Easily Forgiven: Like Kurumu, Tsukune isn't bothered much by the fact that she tried to kill him and Moka in her first appearance.
• Elemental Eye Colors: She has ice powers and blue eyes.

• Heroic BSoD: After her arranged fiance steals her first kiss, pinned her down and groped her with her unable to fight back. Although she wasn't raped it was close enough for her to make her Driven to Suicide and had to be saved by Kurumu.
• Hopeless Suitor: Like anyone in the Unwanted Harem who isn't Moka, Tsukune cares for Mizore as a friend and nothing more. Unlike the other girls, however, Mizore has come to terms with this and will continue following Tsukune even if he will never love her back.
• An Ice Person: She has ice-related powers because she's a Yuki-onna.
• Icy Blue Eyes: She's a Yuki-onna with light blue eyes.
• Important Haircut: She cuts her hair short to symbolize the lessening of her burdens (or something along those lines), which was followed by her becoming a member of the Unwanted Harem.
• Interrupted Suicide: After the trauma of being forcibly kissed and molested by her arranged fiance, Mizore throws herself off a window. Kurumu catches her mid-air to save her life.
• Leotard of Power: She's dressed as a rhythmic gymnast in a piece of official character artwork.
• Logical Weakness: As a Yuki-onna, she's vulnerable to fire and heat.
• Lonely Together: What attracted her to Tsukune was sensing he was lonely like her and she hoped they could warm each other's hearts.
• Loner-Turned-Friend: Like Yukari, Mizore was a lonely girl without friends until she falls for Tsukune and starts hanging out at the Newspaper club where she befriends its members.
• Lovely Angels: With Kurumu, starting in Season II.
• Mandatory Motherhood: Turns out yuki-onna become sterile very young and their race is endangered because of this. The village's law dictates that Mizore must marry at 17 so she can produce children while she still can.
• Meaningful Name: Shirayuki means "Snow White" and Mizore means "Sleet".

• Murder the Hypotenuse: In her introduction, Mizore tries to murder Moka by sending one of her ice clones to attack her so she could get rid of Tsukune's love interest.
• My Biological Clock Is Ticking: Yuki-Onna have a limited window of fertility (teens to early-to-mid twenties), which poses a problem. A problem that's exacerbated by her fixation on a man she can't have.
• Never My Fault: In Capu2 episode 7, she gets in a massive fight with Kurumu and Yukari over Tsukune in the human world, causing damage to the surrounding neighborhood and risking a Broken Masquerade before Inner Moka forcibly breaks them up; as a result, the entire group is forcibly dragged back to Yokai Academy. On the ride back, Mizore tells Kurumu point-blank that the incident is entirely her own fault, refusing to acknowledge her own culpability.
• Non-Uniform Uniform: Instead of the standard top half of the Yokai uniform, she wears a black tank top and an off-the-shoulder white sweatshirt with dark blue sleeves.
• Not So Stoic: While normally a major case of The Stoic, she gets an increasing number of emotional moments as the story goes on, culminating in the situation where she tries to drug Tsukune into impregnating her, being completely desperate and begging him to do so
• Oral Fixation: She is always seen with her Tootsie Roll Pop in her mouth. It's used to keep herself cool. According to an Omake, it's got a super-chilly frost core. So much so, she provides the Trope Image.
• Rescue Romance: As the Kraken dragged her into the sea, she sighed and thought she would die without ever knowing true love... until Tsukune caught a tentacle, pulled them out of the water, and kicked the Kraken's ass.
• Sacred First Kiss: After her arranged fiance steals her first kiss, Mizore completely freaks out, thinking she has been "dirtied" and even tries to kill herself.
• Self-Duplication: Her "ice clone" technique, which allows her to make somewhat-independent clones merely out of the humidity in the air. She's shown to be quite adept, as she can not only make clones of others (namely, Tsukune), but have two acting at the same time.
• Stalker with a Crush: Stalking Tsukune is her hobby. She even takes pride in her stalking skills.
• Stalking Is Funny if It Is Female After Male: Pretty much none of Mizore's stalker antics would be portrayed as funny if she was a dude and Tsukune was a girl in the harem.
• Stealth Hi/Bye: Often appears out of ridiculous hiding places, like trash cans, second story windows, dropped ceilings, the bathtub...
• The Stoic: In group reaction shots, she's often seen with a calm expression.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She initially acts cold and unapproachable, but get past that and she's actually a pretty good girl.
• Third-Option Love Interest: Mizore is the third really serious member of the Unwanted Harem introduced to add a second love rival for Moka. Yukari was technically the third to join the harem, but she isn't treated as real competition because she's eleven years old and wants to have both Tsukune and Moka.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Like Kurumu, she's considerably less kind and more murderous in her first appearance than she is later on, trying to freeze Tsukune alive and kill Moka without provocation.
• Tragic Ice Character: Mizore is a Yuki-onna with ice powers and she has some of the most painful past experiences out of Tsukune's Unwanted Harem as she was coldly rejected and sexually harassed by the men she was attracted to before Tsukune. At one point, she tries to commit suicide after she gets engaged against her will to a creep who molests her.
• Ungrateful Bitch: In the anime, after Tsukune and Inner Moka save her, she explicitly tells them not to expect a thank you. In response, Inner Moka lays her out flat and tells her to actually try living her life before she contemplates suicide, advice that Mizore takes to heart.
• Unrequited Love Lasts Forever: Seems to have accepted that she doesn't have a chance with Tsukune, but she has decided to keep following him no matter what happens.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Kurumu. They bicker and butt heads quite often, but they're still good friends, as proven when Kurumu saved Mizore from a suicide attempt and comforted her. They even have a Combination Attack, and, in the epilogue, when Kurumu is planning to slip into the dream world and have Tsukune's child there, she agrees to take Mizore along before it's too late for her.
• Weak to Fire: She's very vulnerable to fire, something that comes with the territory of being a Yuki-onna.
• Wolverine Claws: She can freeze her own hands to create claws made of ice.
• Yandere: She was depicted as a very dangerous stalker in her introduction. She sends one of her ice clones to try and strangle Moka while the real Mizore corners Tsukune and freezes his legs so he can't run away from her. This aspect of her remains a very mild comedic version in the anime, but starts resembling her manga side a lot more by the end of Season 2, though her mother, like Kurumu's, gets flanderized to accomplish this.
• Yuki-onna: Mizore is a yuki-onna with ice powers.

Despite not being an official student, she receives permission to become a member of the Newspaper Club as its assistant advisor (though she prefers to take orders).

---

• Adaptational Early Appearance: In the anime, she appears earlier on and helps fight Kuyou and the Student Police. In the manga, Ruby first appeared in the arc immediately preceding Kuyou's defeat, and never even meets him until near the end of Season II, where he reappears as a member of Fairy Tale.
• Adaptational Villainy: The anime heavily changed the plot of her introduction story by replacing Ruby's master and having Ruby attempt to carry out the plan. The changes made to Ruby resulted in her being completely insane in her first appearence.

• Brains and Bondage: She's The Smart Girl of the Newspaper Club, has extensive knowledge of various monsters and forms of magic, is a capable strategist, works as the direct assistant to the school's board chairman, and is a blatant masochist who compares tying herself up BDSM-style to winding the phone cord around your finger when you're bored.
• Broken Bird: Her parents were killed by a car collision. Her grief caused her to grow up into a sorrowful witch who blames humans for the death of her parents and wanted revenge for it. She starts to grow out of it after she befriends Tsukune and the other girls.
• Character Catchphrase: "Many things happened..." or in the dubbed version, "It's a long story..."
• Chekhov's Skill: Her training with Tsukune emphasizes how much Ruby enjoys being shocked. This comes in handy when she fights against a Raijū from Fairy Tale.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: She joins the rest of the Unwanted Harem's jealousy fits over Tsukune.
• Cosplay Otaku Girl: She dresses in different Fanservice costumes made by herself according to the occasion.
• Covert Pervert: She's a lot more of a masochist than anyone would guess.

• Demoted to Extra: In the anime, she's Put on a Bus after her first appearance since it changed the order of the story arcs it was adapting to have Kuyo appear after she did, while it was the other way around in the manga, and proceeded to play almost no role in Capu2.
• Didn't Think This Through: In Capu2 episode 7, Kurumu, Mizore, and Yukari get involved in a massive fight over Tsukune, causing damage to the surrounding neighborhood and risking a Broken Masquerade, and eventually forcing Tsukune to unleash Inner Moka to forcibly break them up. The next morning, Ruby arrives in the bus to drag them back to school; when Kurumu furiously objects, not wanting to go back to school just yet, Ruby just throws her into the bus, snapping, "Well, you should've thought of that before causing such a big ruckus in the human world!"
• Fantastic Racist: Had a hatred of humans until meeting Tsukune.
• Friendless Background: Thanks to her being a witch, she was shunned by everybody she ever met, with it only worsening after being raised to hate humans. The Newspaper Club end up becoming her first friends ever.
• Girlish Pigtails: Some of her hair is tied up in pigtails.
• Happiness in Slavery: When asked what her relationship to Tsukune is, she answers "plaything/toy".
• Heel–Face Turn: She starts out as a genuinely villainous character, albeit a Tragic Villain, with her trying to bring about the deaths of numerous humans out of revenge. Once Tsukune and his allies stop her and help her come to terms with her emotions, she drops her hatred and becomes their ally and part of Tsukune's harem.
• Hell-Bent for Leather: She's dressed as a hot racer in a piece of official character artwork, and as can be expected, she doesn't even bother with the zipper on that leather unitard.
• Heroic RRoD: Her Iron Maiden form gives her tremendous power in exchange for putting enormous strain on her body. What a delight!
• Hime Cut: She has blunt bangs, armpit-length sidelocks, and mid-back length hair. She also has a pair of side twintails jutting out from near her forehead.
• Hot Witch: She's a powerful witch, and she's a major case of Ms. Fanservice.
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Tries to pass herself off as this during the second season of the anime, but winds up achieving Epic Fail.
• Lady of Black Magic: She has access to quite the repertoire of offensive magic, much more than Yukari.
• Love Redeems: She was part of a plot to wipe out a human city, but turned around due to Tsukune's kindness.
• Made of Iron: At one point, she shrugged off being electrocuted by Raika, in part because she's Too Kinky to Torture.
• Ms. Fanservice: She's the one most likely to be found in fanservice-y clothes once her status as a Covert Pervert comes out of the bag.
• Odd Name Out: She's the only member of the Newspaper Club who doesn't have the kanji of a color in either her first or last names.
• Of Corsets Sexy: Her regular attire includes a corset, which does well to show off her curves.
• Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: She has very dark brown hair and fair skin, heck, ravens are her motif.
• Razor Wings: She sprouts six crow-like wings from her back when she puts her Game Face on. They actually serve as her primary weapon because she uses the feathers of her magical wings as Combat Tentacles and Razor Floss in battle.
• Sixth Ranger: She participates as a bonus member of the main group in the serious storylines in the manga after her introductory arc.
• Spell Book: She wrote her own spell book and uses it to cast her most powerful spells in battle.
• Straight Man: She clearly loves Tsukune but rarely engages in the same amount of harem bickering over him as the other girls do.
• Too Kinky to Torture: At one point, she actually orgasmed over too much of an electric shock. She also absentmindedly ties herself up BDSM style, a habit she compares to winding the phone cord around your finger.
  • When she handed Tsukune the magical whip, she blushed and assured him that she wasn't asking him to hit her with it — and then hinted broadly that she'd like it if he did. In the next panel, after he's told her he isn't into that sort of thing, she's clearly disappointed...
  • In a later chapter, the group is cornered by Raika, one of the six subdivision leaders of Fairy Tale, who proceeds to assault Ruby with what was presumed to be a fatal electrical discharge...and she gets up, blushing and stating "I don't hate being shocked. <3"
• Tragic Bigot: Her reason for initially despising humans with a passion was because a human drunk driver killed her parents while they were on vacation. The fact that this was in a car crash and that there were no non-humans on the road they could have collided with makes the foundation of her hatred pretty shaky, but it's made more believable in that her bigotry was enforced and nursed by her psychotic witch mentor for the entire rest of her life before the story began.
• Vague Age: She was estimated to be 17 at one point, but no one can say for sure.
• Winged Humanoid: She can sprout six black-feathered wings.

Ginei Morioka

Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (JP), Ian Sinclair (EN)

A werewolf and the president of the Newspaper Club. He is a second-year student at Yokai Academy and a shameless peeping tom who initially began as an antagonist to Tsukune, but becomes somewhat of a sempai to him and his friends.

---

• Bash Brothers: With Haiji.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: He's forever grateful to San who was the one who helped him grow out of his violent habits and made him feel he mattered by refusing to give up on him.
• Berserk Button: Harming his True Companions, or worse, San Otonashi.
• Cannot Spit It Out: It is obvious that he is in love with San, but he won't admit it.
• Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: In the epilogue, he and San are clearly affectionate with each other, but he's as shy as a kindergartener around her, in stark contrast to his usual demeanor.
• Chivalrous Pervert: Although he is a total pervert, he will fight to the end to protect his friends.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's a pervert who immediately gets his ass kicked by his victims, but he's one of the strongest characters in the series.
• Defeat Means Friendship: By San-sempai.
• Flash Step: One of the fastest characters. When Kokoa attacked him with a rapier, she made several slashes at his afterimage before she even noticed that he had moved.
• Frame-Up: In his debut appearance, he set up Tsukune to take the fall for Gin's own perversions as part of a plan to take Moka for himself. While Moka is quick to fall for it, Kurumu and Yukari play detective and manage to expose Gin to the whole school. In the manga, Kurumu follows Tsukune and gets a first-hand look at Gin setting his plan to get him out of the way in motion, then rescues Tsukune from the vengeful locker room girls, confronts Gin on the roof, and presents a testimony that confirms Moka's already-growing doubts about Tsukune's role in the incident.
• Handsome Lech: If he wasn't such a pervert, Gin's looks alone would probably net him many admirers.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he may come off as shallow and selfish, Ginei is actually a quite caring person and a good friend.
• Junior Counterpart: With Touhou Fuhai. Both are Tall, Dark, and Handsome Bishounen, Chivalrous Perverts, admire the female friend who is stronger than them, and they have a Vitriolic Best Buds relationship with Haiji and Mikogami, respectively.
• Ladykiller in Love: He's a well-known womanizer, but his feelings for San are genuine.
• Lightning Bruiser: He's got high amounts of strength, speed, and durability, with the exact level of power depending on the amount of moonlight. With no moonlight he's just below Moka, while having a full moon shine on him makes him untouchable to her.
• Logical Weakness: He needs the light of the moon shining on him to bring out his full power, so anything that obstructs it, such as a random cloud, will reduce him to his reasonably strong but much weaker base power.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: Let's allow Kurumu to explain it better:
  That guy's a pervert who gropes girls' breasts^note okay, so the scanlation read "tits" instead of "breasts", but still, same difference as a "hello", and steals things from the girls' changing room.
• Lunacy: He needs a full moon to fight at his maximum. He lost a fight to Moka when a cloud covered the moon mid-attack. He also becomes more feral in personality during the full moon.

• Near-Villain Victory: In his first appearance, the only reason Inner Moka managed to defeat him is because a cloud covered the moon and weakened him.
• Our Werewolves Are Different: He can transform at will. The level of moonlight shining on him determines his power level. The more common "vampires have speed, werewolves have strength" theme is inverted, with a note that werewolves' speed is their most powerful asset.
• Pet the Dog: Whenever he aids the Five-Man Band and his love of San. Also, he seems genuinely concerned about Kurumu.
• Ship Tease: With San.
• Strong as They Need to Be: Justified since he needs the full moon exposed to be at full strength.
• Those Two Guys: With Haiji.

• Vitriolic Best Buds: His relationship with Haiji seems to mostly be this. Anytime the two are seen together, they are constantly snarking at one another, even while teaming up to fight Fairy Tale.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: During his very short stint as a villain, he was the first to have a Near-Villain Victory against Inner Moka, only losing due to the dumb luck of a cloud covering the moon.

Kokoa Shuzen

Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō (JP), Kira Vincent-Davis (EN)

The younger half-sister of Moka Akashiya. Like her sister, Kokoa is also a vampire, but her powers are not sealed and does not carry the same level of supernatural strength that Moka possesses. To compensate for it, she has a pet bat named Kou that can transform into a variety of weapons and wields it with enough strength to make herself formidable. Kokoa despises Moka for sealing away her inner personality, whom she adores and loves. Before Moka left to study at the academy and prior to her receiving the rosario, the sisters often clashed with one another, although Kokoa could never defeat Moka in a duel.

---

• A-Cup Angst: She's very unhappy about her childlike figure.
• Accidental Public Confession: In Capu2 episode 11, after all of the chaos caused by Lilith's Mirror is resolved by Ruby, Kokoa angrily chews Ruby out for ruining everything and ends up revealing that she was the one who stole Lilith's Mirror from the academy and caused the entire mess. Ruby promptly drags her off to be punished.
  Kokoa: Me and my big mouth!
• Adaptational Jerkass: In the original manga, Kokoa started out as a Jerkass, but mellowed out into a Tsundere Jerk with a Heart of Gold over time. In Capu2, she never mellows out and is rude, disrespectful, and bitchy to everyone she talks to, especially Outer Moka. Inner Moka is the only character in the entire show she treats with anything resembling kindness or respect, and that's just because they grew up together and Kokoa worships her.
• Ambiguously Bi: She frequently reacts with Nosebleeds to the female Fanservice, but she also gets one when she reads yaoi manga. Once Haiji becomes a regular secondary character, the two start getting some serious Ship Tease, ultimately culminating in the two dating at the end of manga. Being who they are, however, dating for them means fighting.
• Anguished Declaration of Love: Kokoa has been terrified of Kahlua the entire manga, but after she's defeated Kahlua in a fight Kahlua was forced to have, Kokoa sobbingly confesses how much she truly loved her sister.
• Annoying Younger Sibling: Although Moka does love her, she initially has a hard time with Kokoa because Kokoa is obsessed with attacking Moka to bring out Inner Moka who Kokoa considers to be her "real" big sister.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: She's very easily distracted by the smell of Tsukune's blood.
• The Baby of the Bunch: She's the youngest of the Shuzen sisters and is a freshman when the main group are sophomores. She hates how everyone in her family and her seniors (except for Inner Moka) treat her like a child and wants to be taken seriously.
• Badass Adorable: While not comparable to Inner Moka, she's quite capable of fending for herself, and as she grows into being a Tsundere, she starts showing a cuter side to her when she's not fighting.
• Big Sister Worship: She idolizes Inner Moka as the role model of what a powerful and beautiful vampire should be.
• Blood Knight: Obsessed with fighting Inner Moka.
• Bratty Half-Pint: Especially in the anime, where she's openly rude, disrespectful, and bitchy to everyone she comes in contact with, especially Outer Moka, and looks down on everyone around her. Inner Moka is the only character that she's even remotely nice to, and that's just because of her Big Sister Worship.
• Break the Haughty: When she learns that Tsukune, Mizore, and Kurumu are all superior to her when it comes to training and experience.
• Brick Break: Busted through 13 tombstone slabs.
• Butt-Monkey: When she's introduced in the anime, she becomes quite possibly the most abused character.
• Cain and Abel: The Abel to Kahlua's Cain. Both sisters love each other, but Kahlua has been turned into a killing machine by their evil mother and tries to kill Kokoa when their mother orders her to.
• Can't Catch Up: All of her older sisters are far, far stronger than her, making Kokoa feel she can never get near their level.
  • Zig-Zagged or averted in the finale. Her older sisters are still physically stronger than her, but she gains enough skill after training for three months to go toe to toe with her older sister Kahlua and overpower her first release state (though she also needed help from Jin the first half and needed her bat to cut rhrough Kahlua's wings).
• Card-Carrying Villain: At least in her early manga appearances; she starts out as a mild example (compared to other examples, that is) and even claims to have been "born into a family of villains" when bringing Moka to the dungeon on school grounds in an attempt to bring out what she believes to be a massive bloodlust.
• Character Exaggeration: Capu2 exaggerated her Tsundere tendencies into borderline Jerkassery, while taking her preference for Inner Moka over Outer Moka and turning it into outright hatred for the latter, to the extent that she refuses to acknowledge Outer Moka as her sister at all.
• Commonality Connection: She bonds with Yukari over shared frustration with lack of breasts.
• Custom Uniform: She wears a red Sailor Fuku instead of Yokai Academy's actual uniform.
• Cute Bruiser: Not as strong as Inner Moka, but not too far off. Her main problem is that Moka has greater skill.
• Cute Little Fangs: Then again, what do you expect from a female vampire?
• Edible Theme Naming: Much like Moka and other members of the Shuzen family, Kokoa is named after a drink; the cocoa.
• Fantastic Racism: Believed vampires are inherently superior to everything else. Not anymore.
• Fiery Redhead: The red-haired Kokoa is by far the most short-tempered of the main cast.
• Flat "What": Somehow manages to convey this with an expression in the upper right panel Season II chapter 9 page 11.
• Girlish Pigtails: She keeps her hair tied in two bushy pigtails, which is expected from Tsundere manga/anime girls like her.
• Glacier Waif: She's quite strong physically for such a short girl but so far just about everyone else in the series is faster than she is.
• Heel–Face Turn: In the manga, she makes the turn some time after Tsukune, who she had earlier accused of staining Moka's blood and causing her to become a lot less violent in nature, saves her from the Monster of the Week. It takes quite a bit longer in the anime, and under different circumstances (specifically, when he takes on her father). See Break the Haughty for more on both incidents.
• Hollywood Genetics: Both her mother and full sister are dark-skinned blondes, yet Kokoa is a light-skinned redhead. Her father is black-haired, so she didn't get the red hair from him either.
• I Just Want to Be Special: She's accepted that maybe vampires aren't the end-all, be-all in terms of strength but she still knows that all three of her sisters are incredibly strong. Pretty much everything she's ever done was so she wouldn't feel like an outcast in her own family.
• Jerkass to One: In the anime, Kokoa is more of a straight-up bitch than a Tsundere as she was in the manga and is generally rude, disrespectful, and bitchy to everyone, causing trouble for the rest of the cast on two separate occasions due to her attitude. However, she's especially a Jerkass to Outer Moka, refusing to acknowledge her as her sister.
• Lesbian Vampire: Has shades of this since she frequently gets Nosebleeds from female Fanservice and for the longest time only showed interest in Inner-Moka. The first sign that she might appreciate guys as well was her getting a nosebleed reading some yaoi manga. Then, when Haiji became a regular secondary character, the two became the subjects of Ship Tease. She and Haiji end up dating by the end of the story, though their "dates" would not be considered romantic to most people, since to them dating means fighting.
• Little Miss Badass: Since she's a vampire, she's a much more stronger and tougher fighter than her short height would make anyone guess.
• Made of Iron: She shrugs off a steel-chair shot from Kurumu, and a kick from Inner Moka.
• Mercy Kill: Her defeat of Kahlua can be seen as this. Kahlua was already tired of living as their mother's killing machine and wanted Kokoa to kill her first so Kahlua didn't have to kill anymore. However, Kahlua ends up surviving because of Alucard.
• Nosebleed: Gets these at the sight of female fanservice and yaoi.
• Official Couple: In the epilogue, it's revealed she and Haiji get together, though neither seems to actually understand what being a couple means. They think it means being sparring partners.
• Older Than She Looks: Despite only being a year or two younger than Moka, she appears even younger than Yukari. From the “Gro-Gro” drops chapter, it seems she’s just a late bloomer but according to Ruby they just enhance the Yokai ability to shape-shift (her strength still increases in that form though).
• Only I Can Kill Him: Kokoa's 100kg transformer bat, in sword form, is the only thing shown that is capable of cutting through Khalua's wing-blades in her first release state. Though she nearly dies (and required rescuing from Haijin) twice during their fight, she eventually gains the upperhand on her sister when she discovers this. However, she needed to undergo three months of training to increase her strength and improve her form, it needed to be a direct hit on each wing individually, and each time it required her to use all of her force to do so, just barely.
• Our Vampires Are Different: Being Moka's younger sister, Kokoa is also a vampire who mostly seems like a human girl except for the fact that she also likes drinking Tsukune's blood. She has the same powers as Inner Moka, including Super-Strength and Super-Toughness, though not on par since she is younger.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Break 13 stone slabs by hand at once? Regularly carry around a 200-pound Morph Weapon like it's nothing and use it effectively? Kokoa has a pretty impressive array of powers... but when she hangs out with people who can make autonomous clones, create illusions capable of doing real harm, can summon monsters effortlessly, and can tear up steel like it's tissue paper, Kokoa seems like a much less incredible fighter. Kokoa was temporarily aged up at one point and is both fairly strong and skilled. She's just a late bloomer, lacking the experience that everyone else has.
• Sailor Fuku: Her Custom Uniform is a typical sailor fuku commonly worn by girls in Japanese schools.
• Sibling Murder: She delivers the fatal blow to her older sister Kahlua. Although, Kahlua is revived by Alucard soon after.
• Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: As the first of Moka's sisters introduced, she has orange hair and green eyes to make her stand out.
• Stalker without a Crush: After Moka moved to the human world, Kokoa kept following her everywhere to attack her in hopes that Moka would turn into her "true" self in self-defense. Moka enrolled at Yokai Academy in part because she hoped Kokoa wouldn't find her there which worked until season II.
• Successful Sibling Syndrome: She has grown up in the shadow of her older sisters who are all beyond amazing fighters, making Kokoa look average next to them.
• Super-Strength: Like all vampires she has incredible strength. However, it’s hinted that she is actually quite strong for a vampire of her stature but still looses to Moka because of her superior speed, fighting skill and ability to imbue her attacks with youki. Although, Moka is far stronger than her due to age. Moka eventually surpasses her immensely in the manga's final chapters due to unlocking her (still increasing) Shinso vampire power.
• Surrounded by Idiots: She gets annoyed by having to witness Tsukune's Unwanted Harem acting like little girls fighting for his attention.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Tomboy to Yukari's Girly Girl. She's the fight-obsessed vampire who is a tomboy compared to the Cute Witch Yukari who is much girlier.
• Took a Level in Badass: Went from the weakest of the entire group to taking on Kahlua.
• Tsundere: She can go from hotheaded and violent to cute sweetie in a heartbeat.
• The Un-Favourite: Her mother Gyokuro conceived her for the sole purpose of trying to get back some attention from Issa, who paid more attention to Akasha than to her; the plan didn't work out like Gyokuro hoped, and nowadays, Gyokuro hates Kokoa to the extent that she actually forced Kahlua to try to kill her.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Strongly implied to be the reason she lags behind the others. She's shown to be able to do several feats of strength, but she just doesn't have the experience in fighting that the others have.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Two examples, both in Capu2:
  • First, she badmouths curry in front of Apsara, who force-feeds her special curry to turn her into a "curry zombie" and then does the same to the rest of the school.
  • Then, a few episodes later, she steals Lilith's Mirror from the academy with the intent to use it to get Inner Moka back, but ends up mixing up packages with a visiting Kyouko, who inadvertently uses it to cause all of the academy's students to revert to their monster forms and go on a rampage, which nearly breaks The Masquerade.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's afraid of Kahlua. Guess who Kokoa has to face off against in the Fairy Tale arc.
• Yandere: Tried killing Tsukune and Outer Moka so she can be with Inner Moka.
• Yaoi Fangirl: She nosebleeds over a Boys' Love manga.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When Kokoa laments how she can never hope to evenly match Kahlua or Aqua, Haiji encourages her by telling her she's already the best in his eyes.

Fang-Fang Huang

The eldest and only son of a Chinese mafia family, the Huang. After hearing that Tsukune defeated the 7th sub-division of Fairy Tale (it was actually Ginei and Haiji), Fang-Fang tries to recruit him to his family... by marrying him. Needless to say, he always fails, even when offering to Marry Them All. However, it's implied that he has developed feelings for Yukari. He doesn't join the Newspaper Club until the epilogue chapter reveals that he already has.

---

• Ambiguously Bi: He clearly likes women as proven when he gets a Nosebleed from seeing women undressing while he's in Yukari's body and also gets some Ship Tease with Yukari herself later on. Still, the number of moments that accidentally telegraph him as being infatuated with Tsukune are frequent enough to warrant the idea that he actually likes him. Even when the rest of the cast tries to sabotage Tsukune's meeting with Moka's father, Fang-Fang shows up to be the "slash specialist" of the group.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Shame his Summon Magic calls creatures at random, otherwise it would be awesome.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: Turns out his true talent for combat lays in martial arts. He got it from his mother.
• Braids of Action: His hair is tied back in a long braid and is a powerful martial artist.
• Butt-Monkey: The other club members never take him seriously and make fun of how useless his summoning spells are. The fact that he sometimes brings it on himself does not help. Yukari is the only one who comes to respect him after she sees how much he rocks at martial arts.
• Child of Forbidden Love: He compares his parents to Romeo and Juliet because both belonged to enemy mafia families. As their son, Fang-Fang believes he should become a symbol of peace.
• Cool Sword: Made of Chinese coins linked together.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: When he gets his summons right, he gets them RIGHT. Also, seems to know his way around a machinegun. It's revealed the reason for his poor summoning is he's actually a natural martial artist with no innate youjutsu talent.
• Dude Looks Like a Lady: Tsukune wasn't sure about his gender when he met him the first time.
• Friendless Background: Being the son of a Chinese mafia didn't make it easy for him to make friends back in Hong Kong.
• Future Badass: According to his epilogue, Fang-Fang will become known as "the second coming of Touhou Fuhai" and will protect peace between humans and monsters in China.

• I Just Want to Have Friends: He would really like to be friends with Tsukune and the girls.
• Improbable Weapon User: His weapon are a set of Chinese coins that can take the shape of a sword.
• Inept Mage: As it turns out, he has no talent for summoning because... he has no talent for summoning. His father and grandfather show how much more competent are Yasha with real skill for sorcery and summoning.
• Lamarck Was Right: Subverted and played straight. He's not even close to Touhou Fuhai in youjutsu ability, much less able to control his summoning as well as his father and Yukari. However, he did inherit his mother's martial arts talent.
• Lightning Bruiser: He's surprisingly strong physically and fast.
• Lonely Rich Kid: His family is filthy rich, but they also happen to be a Chinese mafia and this has made it hard for him to make friends.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Pretty enough to be confused for a girl, with long hair that he keeps in a braid.
• Mafia Princess: A male example. He's the only son of the biggest yokai boss in China.
• Man, I Feel Like a Woman: He gets stuck in Yukari's body for awhile and the first thing he does is feeling up Yukari's chest. Hilarity Ensues. Especially considering that it happened on Measuring Day.
• Mistaken for Gay: People mistake his obsessive attempts to get Tsukune to join the mafia as him being gay for Tsukune. Then Yukari gave Tsukune a Love Confession while in his body. In the epilogue however, he does sort of embrace his status as the unofficial Gay Option of the harem, if only for a joke.
• Maybe Ever After: In his epilogue, he's shown as the head of the Huang family with Yukari at his side. Whether or not they hooked up is up for debate.
• Nice Guy: He's very polite and kind-hearted despite belonging to a mafia family.
• Pretty Boy: Lampshaded in his introduction where Tsukune points out Fang-Fang looks very androgynous because of his girly face, long eyelashes, and long hair.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive guy to Tsukune's manly man.
• Shipper on Deck: For Tsukune and Inner Moka.
• Shout-Out: To Ranma ½. He even has a giant panda as a familiar.
• Summon Magic: His main power as a Yasha is summoning magic creatures to fight for him. The downside is that he can't control what kind of creature will appear.
• Sword and Sorcerer: He forms this with Yukari when fighting against Fairy Tale. He fights with his martial arts and coin sword while she provides support with Summon Magic. According to the epilogue, Fang-Fang and Yukari will continue fighting as partners in the future.
• Third Eye: When he activates his Yasha powers, a third eye appears on his forehead.
• Took a Level in Badass: He's presented as a joke during most of his early appearances then during a fight with Fairy Tale, he's had enough when Yukari nearly dies trying to save him and takes on two division leaders almost single-handedly. The epilogue reveals that eventually he'll become a legendary badass on par with Touhou Fuhai.
• We Used to Be Friends: He and Xilong were inseparable as children and wished to resolve their clan war, but life got in the way. The next time they see each other, it's on a battlefield.
