Age: 12-13 Birthday: September 23 Height: 148 cm (human); 175 cm (yokai) Weight: 48 kg (human); 66 kg (yokai) Rikuo Nura is 3/4 human and 1/4 yokai. He is the son of Rihan and Wakana Nura and grandson of Nurarihyon and Yohime. He is the third and current head of the Nura Clan. Due to having yokai blood in his lineage, Rikuo has two forms: one in which he takes a human form, and another where his yokai blood takes over and he becomes a full yokai. The former is frequently called his "day" form, whereas the latter is called his "night" form, as originally he was only able to maintain it during darkness. Rikuo was originally reluctant to accept his yokai blood and his role as the successor to the Nura Clan because he was teased at school for talking about yokai. As he ages, he realizes he has the ability to protect both humans and yokai because of his heritage, and acknowledges himself as the third leader of the Nura Clan. Rikuo has officially exchanged sakazuki with Zen, Kubinashi, Tsurara, Jami, Kappa, Kurotabo and Aotabo.

Birthday: April 9 Height: 181 cm Weight: 73 kg Rihan is Nurarihyon's son and Rikuo's father. He resembles his father and he too has long hair that protrudes out the back of his head. Unlike Nurarihyon, however, his hair is purely black and more wavy. Born the son of Nurarihyon and Yōhime, he was often taken around on his father's patrols (much to his mother's dismay). During the Edo period, he took over as the Second Head of the Nura Clan. Under his leadership, the Nura Clan's power reached its peak and he was responsible for stopping the actions of The String Assassin of Hitachi Province.

Birthday: November 16 Height: 162 cm Weight: 49 kg Clan: Kyoto Yokai Hagoromo Gitsune is the demon fox who was originally considered the master of spirits and is the head of the Kyoto Yokai. According to Keikain records, Hagoromo Gitsune first appeared during turbulent times, possessed the body of a notable child, and took control of the body to attain adult form. Gathering power by absorbing hatred, envy, anger, despair and large quantities of malice from the center of government, she continued to grow stronger and it is said that the stronger the malice in the world, the stronger she will become. Despite this, she can only live as long as a human lifetime, for when her host body's life reaches its end, she must hide her "true form" somewhere safe until a suitable candidate for her reincarnation appears. If her "true form" isn't sealed, then regardless of how many times she is defeated, she will continue to reincarnate into the next generation. As a result of this, she is said to be capable of living a thousand years.

Birthday: March 10 Height: 151 cm Weight: 42 kg Clan: Nura Clan Yohime is a noblewoman who lived 400 years ago. She is Nurarihyon's wife, Rihan's mother and Rikuo's grandmother. She has the ability to heal illnesses and injuries even though she's human. Her father took advantage of the people's desire for healing by charging exorbitant fees that only the wealthy could afford. Yohime herself was kind but sheltered and only saw the outside world after meeting Nurarihyon, who spirited her away from her family's home to give her a taste of the real world. She was targeted and kidnapped by Hagoromo Gitsune, but was rescued by Nurarihyon after a grueling battle. After their son Rihan was born, she worried constantly about her husband and preferred he not get involved in unnecessary fights.
