Characters

Twin Star Exorcists

The Twin Star Exorcists (双星の陰陽師, Sōsei no Onmyōji) are a couple of exorcists destined to be the parents of the "Miko", the reincarnation of Abe no Seimei and the ultimate exorcist that is said to be capable of cleansing every kind of evil spirit. The Twin Star Exorcists also have a special, exclusive ability called "Resonance", which allows them to combine their forces to increase the power of their attacks or access abilities that no other exorcist possesses. It is also revealed that the Twin Stars are not proper exorcists, but rather "Vessels" made by Abe no Semei and Ashiya Doman. They do not have guardian spirits, but rather their powers come from the entire world around them. The Male Twin star <Sol>, made by Semei, (in this case, Rokuro) is a vessel for the Yang energy, and the Female Twin Star <Luna>, made by Doman, (in this case, Benio) is a vessel for the Yin energy. Both energies normally act as opposites to each other, but it is only through a fusion of both powers that the Miko <Taiji> is born, who is not a reincarnation of any spirit, but rather an embodiment of the two powers in one form.

Rokuro Enmado (焔魔堂 ろくろ, Enmadō Rokuro)

Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae (Japanese); Bryce Papenbrook (English)

The main protagonist. A brash and headstrong 14-year-old exorcist who was once motivated to be the strongest and cleanse all Kegare and sins. Rokuro was found by Seigen in Magano when he was 6 and had no memory of his past, after which Ryougo took him in. In the manga, he grew up in a valley of basaras before being found and taken in by humans. However, Yuuto Ijika caused a tragedy at the Hiinatsuki Dormitory which forced Rokuro to take the lives of his friends who had been forcibly corrupted. Following this, his right arm was corrupted as well and became part Impurity with great offensive power. This tragedy made him nearly abandon exorcism until he met Benio, who inspired him to fight as an exorcist again. Despite not liking the idea of being her groom at first, he later develops feelings for her. During the time skip, Rokuro elevates his studies and training, making him popular in high school. Rokuro becomes head of the former Adashino House on Tsuchimikado Island. In the climax of Kegare escaping to the surface, Rokuro and Benio are rejoined after a long separation. Benio's fate as an Impurity doesn't change Rokuro's feelings for her. The pair lived peacefully on the island for the process of four years. Rokuro soon obtains a fragment of Yuuto's yang energy that slightly awakens his own transformation. After persuading the islanders to make an exception to Benio's misconduct, she and Rokuro officially get married. When Benio couldn't keep her promise, Rokuro found it pointless and fully transformed into the <Sol>. Getting some pep talk from Seigen, Rokuro makes his quest to venture Magano to locate his wife and even forms a party with the redeemed Kamui and Suzu. Rediscovering his childhood home unknowingly kills Sutara, the Basara who raised him out of self-pity. Sutara's wife Asuha accepts Rokuro's generosity despite their differences. Rokuro happens to be an offspring of Lady Seimei herself. Once Benio is freed from her madness and King Kegare is temporarily suspended, she and Rokuro are taken into a time-accelerating dome to conceive the prophesied child, Hikaru.

In the manga, it is eventually revealed that the Twin stars are not truly human, and Rokuro is a vessel for Yang energy. He was created by Abe no Seimei, in other words, her son, so it appears as though his Guardian Spirit is Seimei, but in reality, neither he nor Benio has a Guardian spirit. In the anime, he is actually the Hajo-ó (Cataclysm King or Star Destroyer King), an extremely powerful Impurity created by Abe no Seimei who is destined to wipe out humanity should they become a threat to the world.

Benio Adashino (化野 紅緒, Adashino Benio)

Voiced by: Megumi Han (Japanese); Cassandra Lee Morris (English)

The main heroine. A serious, 14-year-old girl, she vowed to become the strongest exorcist and destroy all Kegare to avenge her parents' death, who died protecting her. She wears a fox mask during battle. Upon meeting Rokuro she inspires him to return to being an exorcist, and despite not agreeing with the idea of becoming his bride, she secretly admires him for his tenacity, claiming that it is his sole redeeming quality. Benio has a taste for Ohagi. She admires her brother Yuuto until she learns his true colors. She loses both of her legs in the battle against Yuuto, but in the process, gets Impurity legs as replacements from Kamui (like Rokuro's arm) increasing her speed abilities to fight beside Rokuro. After the time skips, both seem to have become even closer with Benio silently noting that she has fallen in love with him. When receiving Sayo's enchantment, Benio's guardian appears to be a dark entity that rivals the Basara Impurity and is revealed by Kuzunoha to be Ashiya Doman, Abe no Seimei's archrival. She later loses her ability to exorcise and decides to stay while Rokuro leaves for Tsuchimikado Island ahead of her, but before that, she confirms her love for him and kisses him for the first time. She later learns from Chinu, the first impurity, that she has not actually lost her powers, but is awakening her real powers instead; the powers of Yin, as Benio is not a human, but an Impurity in a human's skin. Experiencing the oppression of past Lunas and noticing a <Sol> wasn't beside them, Benio unlocks her Impurity transformation and rejoins Rokuro just in time for their rematch against Yuuto. After the second time skips, Benio gains an eyepatch similar to Yuuto's. Benio's secret is eventually exposed and placed in custody. Rokuro busted her out and convinced the exorcist community to trust Benio again and accept their marriage. With Tsuchimikado Island overwhelmed by a kegare pandemic, Benio is forced to give up her humanity to defeat the mayhem, only then she receives hatred from the civilians and leave for Magano. In her futile attempt to dissolve Sakanashi's plot, she is overcome by negative emotions to escape her fate and destroy the mainland in so that she and Rokuro can live together without the Twin Stars. A reform embodiment of Yuuto helps Benio merge their souls to complete the true Yin transformation siding with Rokuro to exorcise the King of Impurities.

Antagonists

Yuuto Ijika (石鏡 悠斗, Ijika Yūto)

Voiced by: Ayumu Murase (Japanese); Vic Mignogna (English)

The main antagonist of the series. Yuuto is Benio's twin brother and an old friend turned enemy of Rokuro who supposedly died two years ago at the Hiinatsuki Dormitory. The truth is Yuuto had been using the cadets as experimental subjects, including Rokuro, the only successful subject, being forced to kill them, an event therefore known as the "Hiinatsuki Tragedy", that inflicted such trauma on Rokuro that he decided to quit exorcism until he met Benio. Yuuto's objective is to become the ultimate exorcist by attaining the complete power of yang (the spiritual powers of humanity) and yin (the spiritual powers of the Kegare); which would result in eradicating all life in existence. Upon learning his plans, Rokuro and Benio started to focus on their training with the main purpose of defeating him as Rokuro wants to avenge his dead friends, and Benio intends to defeat her brother as a sign of atonement for the sake of her family's honor. His entire body had direct contact with a Fallen Impurity; transforming into one in the battle with Rokuro and Benio. In the anime, Yuuto was born with an unnecessary existence and acts as a guide for Rokuro, so that one of them can become the King of Impurities, and sees Benio as inferior to his only means of living due to her engagement with Rokuro. In the manga, Yuuto aspired to protect his family in his youth, until an accident caused him to fall comatose for half a year. Due to being a Twin Star's sibling, Yuuto experienced visions of the catastrophe prophecy of exorcists and mankind, thus rendering his personality to mental disorder and a guilty conscience. A dying Yuuto could be heard singing a song from his childhood.

Basara

The Basara are the most powerful Impurities in existence with each gaining intelligence, speech, and a human-like body by absorbing the energy of the exorcists they killed. Like exorcists, they can use their own version of enchanted gear and talismans to strengthen their powers. Unlike regular Impurities, their bodies do not disappear once they are killed. Originally, there were a total of 11 active Basara. Some of them did not appear in the anime series and were replaced by some original ones.

Chinu (千怒)

The first and oldest of the eleven Basara. She is labeled as "most powerful" though inexplicably has low enchantments and shares striking resemblances to Abe no Seimei. Chinu's actually a prototype Impurity long experimented on in Ashiya Doman's research to countermeasure the King of Impurities. Unlike other Basara, she takes a keen interest in human society. Meeting Benio in person, like many previous female Twin stars, Chinu offered her dormant powers to be awakened at the cost of her humanity. In the past, Chinu and Sakanashi have naturally fought each other face-to-face for seven decades to the point of being estranged lovers. He couldn't comprehend Chinu's flawless intentions in cultivating Magano and building a village for the sake of coexistence no matter how hopeless it seemed. After the first sighting of King Kegare, Chinu instructs the Twin Star to deliver the child in a time-limited area (539 days inside = 77 days outside) to fulfill the prophecy and use an alternative in exorcising the Kegare's second-coming to avoid any more casualties.

Sakanashi (無悪)

The second and the de facto leader of the eleven Basara. His role in the manga is the same as Kuranashi in the anime. Unlike Chinu, Sakanashi has no qualms about killing humans or impurities for power. Not only does his "Pitch Black Puppet" enchantment allow him to engulf the boundaries of physics; Sakanashi's final white form called "Unchain" can effortlessly match a Head Exorcist. He misled the Basaras into cooperating with him. By the end of the exorcist games, Sakanashi implements his diabolic plan to keep the Heavenly Commanders at bay, luring Arima onto the battlefield to kill him otherwise, and releasing a herd of Impurities through the gateway and into Tsuchimikado Island to lead humanity to oblivion. He is destroyed by a suicide attack from Arima. His death led the Yang embodiment that he confined a millennium ago to be set free and seek out its vessel, Rokuro, to devour and forcibly his awakening. Five years later, Sakanashi resurrected in child form and resumed his plan to spur Benio into following the path of <Luna> embedded with twisted idealism. Thought to be slayed by Tenma unleashes the King of Impurities from containment until now was restrained via a pure firewall of sanity generated by Sakanashi's yin energy and Abe no Seimei's yang energy.

Gabura (加布羅)

The third of the eleven Basara. His risk level is SS. In the manga, he is the one responsible for the death of Tsubaki Sada, Sakura's father. Strangely, he slightly resembles Tsubaki, having similar hairstyles. Gabura is playful in killing humans like some sport. He uses instant shock wave enchantments, similar to Rokuro's gold smash, shown while targeting the Ioroi squad. According to Lost History, Gabura was the first subject for the Fallen Impurity experiment, originally a young boy named Ariyuki from the Tsuchimikado Branch House, and his delusional family wanted him dead once it failed. Sakura and Miku arrived with reinforcements to focus all fire on Gabura for the long-waited battle. However, Gabura proved to be too much of a challenge, so Sakura and Shizuru opened a portal to transport him to a far distant location, while a dying Miku used her last remaining energy to mighty push Gabura in it. In the next battle with Sakura, Gabura's memories of sorrow resurface when witnessing a child's pain, and Sakura experiences these factors gaining small empathy with Gabura as they fall to their deaths together. Having survived the fall, Gabura lost his fighting spirit until a frustrated Shizuru pushed him to finish the score. Shizuru permanently kills Gabura, and in his final moments, he awaits to see her in the underworld.

Hijirimaru (聖丸)

The fourth of the eleven Basara. Hijirimaru enjoys toying with humans and has absolutely no pity for them. He enjoys killing his opponents to awaken the rage and hatred of their loved ones, in order to gain more power after killing them too. He and Higano kidnap Sayo into Magano in order to feed on her spiritual power but are stopped by Shimon, Rokuro, Benio, and Mayura. After absorbing Higano's enchanted powers in order to get stronger, Hijirimaru is destroyed by the Twin Star Exorcists' combined power. He is revealed to be motivated to obtain enough power to let Higano and himself watch the sky on Earth without the risk of being turned to dust by Earth's yang energy.

Shiromi (銀鏡)

The fifth of the eleven Basara. He wears a magician's outfit and hat. He summons impurities the size of fortresses to ambush Rokuro's squad with the determination to avenge Hijirimaru, his former partner. Shiromi is returning the favor by taking hostages that are close to Rokuro. Rokuro escapes from an Impurity devouring him, and his squad sets up a distraction to surprise Shiromi, while Rokuro hits him hard. Despite this, a still-standing Shiromi impales Rokuro and his team, which leaves a repeated disaster image of his peers from the Hinatsuki Dormitory in his eyes. Before Rokuro can muster an unprepared power to fight back, Arima emerges and saves the team. Shiromi then died realizing Sakanashi may have been using him.

Kaguya (赫夜)

The sixth of the eleven Basara. Kaguya is a foul-mouthed and mentally unstable impurity. She wears a lieutenant uniform and uses a whip, obsessive about her "darling," which is a male exorcist-turned-zombie. Her enchantments are based on water elements, which she can transform into a full-body liquid. The source of her hatred for all humans and Impurity comes from her past relationship with a human lover once believing that hope for love was real until she was betrayed and discriminated against. Kaguya rages further knowing the fact that Benio, who is now an Impurity could be allowed to see a human (Rokuro) and witness Kaguya's darling's corpse get smashed. In her retaliation, Kaguya completely alters her body into an effective water substance to drown Kamui and Benio, only to fail, and Kaguya's body then vaporizes leading to her death.

Gaja (臥蛇)

The seventh of the eleven Basara. He has a scarred left eye and controls yang energy to create magnetic fields. In his youth, Gaja was among many experimental subjects hoarded by the Mitejima Household until his escape. Subaru seemingly sympathizes with Gaja. Encountering Subaru again when she is left alone in Magano, she soon gets enamored with Gaja out of self-pity. Despite being a formidable foe, Gaja doesn't have any real fighting spirit.

Shioji (四皇子)

The eighth of the eleven Basara. Shioji wears a girlish custom-made private school uniform and narrates his speech. He specializes in reanimating former exorcists from the dead and enforcing them to fight other fellow brethren. The realization of Sakanashi's delude doesn't sway Shioji's strategy, as he exasperatingly resumes annihilating as many exorcists as he can. Until then Tatara ambushes Shioji and impales him in the chest. With his last thoughts in mind, he deeply wishes for rebirth but not as a mere impurity.

Higano (氷鉋)

The ninth of the eleven Basara, he has followed Hijimaru since they later found him as an ordinary juvenile Impurity. Unlike his partner, he is calm and collected and is not interested in obtaining more enchanted powers for himself. On the other hand, Higano is highly dedicated to the latter and his dream, up to the point of sacrificing himself to take a mortal attack for him and transferring his enchanted powers to Hijimaru to make him stronger.

Yuzuriha (杠)

The tenth of the eleven Basara. She wears a bunny outfit with great sensing abilities to spell power. Having to be a masochist, Yuzuriha has no qualms about posing as bait to progress Sakanashi's plan to direct Impurities out to the real world. She is seen carrying Sakanashi's disfigured head from his defeat in Arima's hands. In a turn of events, Yuzuriha claims no resentment in having no will of her own and just wants to be useful to Sakanashi. She contributes her life giving Sakanashi the chance to escape battle with Tenma, Shimon, and Mayura to instigate his rebuilt plan. Arimori censures her goal as a curse not a dream. Her body absorbs a shockwave that leaves only her head with Sakanashi telling her to rest in peace.

Kamui (神威)

Voiced by: Yūki Ono (Japanese); Benjamin Diskin (English)

The youngest and eleventh of the eleven Basara. He is also responsible for the death of Benio's parents. However, he tends to let his opponents choose the death of their preference and always gives them ten seconds to decide. He seeks entertainment by fighting humans without caring about which side (Human or Impurity) will be destroyed and loves humans because they are weak yet strive to grow stronger. Despite knowing of Benio's hatred towards him, he usually appears to help her, hoping to fight her once she becomes a worthy opponent. Kamui seems on good terms with Chinu. Throughout the series, Kamui's interest in Benio grows until he comes to care for her unconditionally without realizing it. When Kaguya severely wounded him, Kamui questioned if he should die for his crimes but Benio encouraged him not to throw his life away. He awakened his ultimate white form (Unchain) to protect Benio from Kaguya. He waits the day to willingly fight the Twin Stars and is implied to have stopped killing humans due to Benio's influence.

Other characters

Arima Tsuchimikado (土御門 有馬, Tsuchimikado Arima)

Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese); Matthew Mercer (English)

The leader of all exorcists in Japan, and the one who arranges the marriage between Benio and Rokuro. He later relocates them to a fancy villa. While eccentric and comedic, he also possesses an enigmatic, devious, and even sinister side. His greatest enchantment is summoning the Avalokiteśvara. On the other hand, he is also powerful enough that two of the Heavenly Commanders declined to join him on the battlefield as they would be merely a hindrance to him. Sometimes he appears uncaring in the case of the Twin Stars, when they are in danger, although in fact, he wants them to prove themselves worthy of their title and strengthen their powers and bonds together unlike the previous couples that were chosen to become the Twin Stars, who died due to their carelessness. In the manga, in his battle against Sakanashi, Arima executes his Fallen Impurity transformation as a last resort, sacrificing himself to defeat the Basara.

Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese); Joey Lotsko (English)

Benio's familiar who is very protective of her. He can possess vehicles and machines to assist the Twin Stars in their missions.

Sayo is the host of the guardian Kuzunoha which allows her to bestow a ceremony of divination on exorcists to see their quality essence. However, harboring such a strong guardian spirit greatly shortens her lifespan to less than two decades. Spending her entire life on the closed-off island, she gains the wonderful opportunity to visit the mainland upon Rokuro's request to be tested rather he'll be chosen worthy, making Sayo fall for him and consider him her prince and clingy towards him whenever she's near him and managed to make Benio appear envious towards Sayo in her own way. Four years later, Sayo trained to harness Kuzunoha's powers and participate in exorcising impurities. Once learns of Rokuro's proposal to Benio, she hastily challenges Benio on a mission in Magano in doing so to get Sayo's approval.

Arima is initially acknowledged by all lower clansmen until he decides to resign from living in the Enmado's house after Rokuro takes over its property as a branch member. Prideful of wanting loyalty from his father, Arimori swore his allegiance to Rokuro instead. Arimori tricked several young exorcists into signing for Enmado House, who thought it would be the Tsuchimikado House, regardless of the deception the members serve affiliation and companionship to Rokuro and Arimori. He and Kinako cheered for Rokuro's victory in the Exorcist Games. In the battle between Sakanashi and Arima, Arimori finally earns his father's acceptance. Following Arima's death, Arimori is brought back to the Tsuchimikado House as the next Head Exorcist-in-training. Arimori forges an alliance with the rebel Basara to secure the barrier in-between Magano and the real world. On the verge of giving up, Arimori receives the blessing of <Unchanied> from Tatara's will standing on the same level as his father.

Sae (さえ)

Voiced by: Hitomi Sasaki (Japanese); Tara Sands (English)

A young girl in anime-only. She is intelligent and very enthusiastic towards Rokuro and Benio. Similar to Rokuro, Sae is found in Magano with no memory. Rokuro and the others bring her to Seika Dormitory. She travels with the Twin Stars on the pursuit to exterminate the Dragon Spot outburst. It's proven that Sae possesses strong abilities she could deflect Basara's attacks. Eventually, it is revealed that Sae came from a branch broken off from the Ame-no-mihashira, a gigantic tree barrier that separates Magano and the real world, and attained human form just like a tsukumogami, upsetting the balance between both realms, which is only restored when she returns to her former self, much to Rokuro and Benio's grief. She refers to Rokuro as "Papa", possibly due to his connection with Abe no Seimei.

Suzu (珠洲)

Voiced by: Yūki Wakai (Japanese); Erica Lindbeck (English)

She prefers to fight her opponents in battle dancing performances, although she despises those who are cowards. Her music affects low spiritual users thus rendering them to mutation. She has an interest in Rokuro (who is her first time meeting a human). While she first appeared as an anime original character, Suzu officially appears in the manga as of chapter 76. She joins the Basara-Exorcist alliance with Kamui and Rokuro to rescue Benio from her demonic manifestation.

Having lived for hundreds of years as a Basara, Kuranashi has evolved long enough to display features almost human-like. His consciousness is overtaken by Yuuto when he attempts to absorb Yuuto's body, marking that Kuranashi was merely a pawn, as Yuuto had all along been waiting for him to do so to take his stolen powers.
