Yashiro Nene

Nene is a very outgoing and earnest girl who seems to greatly desire the approval of her peers. She is generally kind to others, sometimes to the point of naiveté. She genuinely wants to help those around her, and is even willing to risk the dangers of associating with supernaturals in order to do so. Because she is often reliant on Hanako to protect her from dangerous supernaturals and developed a habit of calling his name when she is in need of help, Nene wants to find a way to protect Hanako and her other friends.Nene is a young girl with large magenta eyes that have orange accents. Her waist-length hair is a light cream color, which gradually fades into a soft teal green at the tips and is styled with baby bangs at her forehead. She wears two dark brown magatama hair accessories that resemble horns on the side of her head, which pulls back some of her hair. Occasionally, Nene wears other hairstyles such as braids, ponytails, and twintails. Her hair color matches her signature nickname, which is "radish" due to her fat radish-like legs. Her ankles are drawn thicker than any other characters in the series.Nene's Kamome Gakuen uniform consists of a cream-colored sailor dress, which reaches her knees and has a scalloped hemline. The lining of the skirt is a deep magenta while her collar, cuffs, and pockets are all brown with cream details. Her collar bow is the same color as her dress and includes brown stripes; Nene also attaches her personal skull brooch above the bow. Nene sports her regular uniform cream-and-orange uwabaki slippers but chooses to wear dark brown tights with a small half-moon pattern near the ankles instead of the usual brown knee-length stockings.Nene is able to see supernaturals, such as Hanako, without having any prior affiliation with them. This is later revealed to be a result of her being near the Far Shore, with only about a year left her in her lifespan.

Hanako

Hanako is a very cheerful and mischievous young man. Hanako often gives the impression of being a carefree, silly child, which makes it difficult to take him seriously. But despite his childish behavior, Hanako is the leader of all the school mysteries and the strongest among them. Like all the school mysteries, Hanako must maintain a balance between the "near" and "far" shores, carefully ensuring that supernatural beings do not interfere with the world of the living, and that humans do not fall victim to their deeds. Hanako takes her duties very seriously, dealing with both weak spirits and other school mysteries. Hanako can be quite scary at times. If he wants something, he can make threats to get his demands met. However, he has never followed through on his threats, apparently just trying to intimidate.Hanako is a short boy, standing approximately 150 cm (4'11")with tousled brown hair and large, crescent-shaped eyes with amber irises. Hanako wears an old Japanese school uniform , a black gakuran with gold buttons and a red hem, a white long-sleeved Western-style shirt underneath, black shoes, and red socks. He also dons a black hat with a white inside, a gold emblem, and red strings along the front seam, matching his uniform. Hanako is often seen with two hakujodai - disembodied human souls - with pink and blue circular markings, respectively. On Hanako's left cheek is a white seal with the red kanji for seal.

Kou Minamoto

Kou is a tall teenage boy with short, spiky dirty blond hair, light blue eyes, and two protruding canine teeth. His delinquent-like personality and aura make him relatively unpopular. He wears a black shirt underneath his teal Kamome Gakuen Middle School uniform with brown stripes, which is sometimes left unbuttoned. He also sports a cream-and-brown striped tie that occasionally hangs untied around his neck and a red sweatband on his right wrist. Kou is always seen wearing a red traffic-safety amulet (omamori) as a piercing on his right ear.Kou keeps his raiteijou―a spirit staff―around with him at all times as a weapon and disguises it as a black umbrella when he is not using it. Currently, Kou cannot use the staff's full power because it has been sealed by Hanako.Kou is cheerful, direct and tends to jump into things headfirst without properly thinking them through. However, he has been shown to grow more mature as the series progresses. He is often misjudged as a bit of a delinquent or rude, but this is actually not the case. He is rash and loud but is also simultaneously very kind and caring. He makes a distinct effort to be polite, as seen when even though he was about to face off with Hanako upon their first meeting, he still took the time to be polite to Nene and warn her about the perceived danger.Kou has a strong sense of justice, and was also kind and open-minded enough to revise his opinion on Hanako and became friends with him, despite the pressure from his older brother to exorcise the ghost and the brothers' long-held belief that all supernaturals are bad.He is very loyal to his friends and helps them in any way he can, no matter the danger. He is also easily flustered and sometimes makes mistakes due to rushing into things too quickly.Being from an ancient clan of exorcists, Kou is able to see supernaturals and interact with them (such as touching them and talking to them) without needing to summon them
