Kekkaishi is an interesting old anime. The anime tells the story of two young people who have Kekkaishi powers. They have to fight demons called Ayakashi and protect the people from theri threat.
If you love this anime, you must be familiar with some of the following characters. While being nostalgic together, let's review the following together!
10. Hakubi
Hakubi is the demon wolf of the Yukimura family for hundreds of years. Even though he is younger than Madarao, Hakubi actually doesn't want to lose in hunting Ayakashi with Tokine.
When compared to Madarao, Hakubi seems friendlier and has a strong synergy with Tokine. He also likes to give advice to Tokine at certain times. When the situation is in danger, he does not hesitate to ask for help from Yoshimori.
9. Madarao
Madarao is a demon wolf who has served the Sumimura family since ancient times. Even though he is very good at hunting Ayakashi, this dog is actually very lazy and moody.
He was also less than happy to work with Yoshimori. However, he still does his duty to hunt because he doesn't want to lose to Hakubi who is younger and less experienced than him. Besides that, Madaro really likes to eat weak Ayakashi.
8. Tokiko Yukimura
The grandmother of Tokine is the 21st head of the Yukimura family who is known as the strongest Kekkaishi of her generation. She often got into fights with Shigemori and competed with each other.
Even though she is like that, she is a very great teacher for Tokine. Not only that, she also realized the hidden power potential within Yoshimori. Because of that, she always reminded the boy to control his strength.
7. Masamori Sumimura
This man is the older brother of Yoshimori who is very strong and tough. Unfortunately, he was not the real heir to the family so he chose to leave home and join the Night Troop organization.
Apart from being strong, Masamori also cared a lot about Yoshimori's development because he knew how much potential strength there was in his younger brother. While in the organization, Masamori used to do very dangerous jobs. He is also capable of producing extremely powerful Zekkai.
6. Kaguro
Next, there is the figure of Kaguro who has a scary appearance. He is one of the strongest Ayakashi in Kokuboro. Although he rarely comes to secret meetings, he has a considerable impact on the story.
Kaguro used to come to Karasumori disguised as a human. He used to be an ordinary human who was very skilled in using a sword. However, he slowly turns into Ayakashi and becomes hostile to the Kekkaishi.
5. Shigemori Sumimura
This old man with a thick mustache is the grandfather of Yoshimori who is very loud and annoying. Despite his nature, he serves as the 21st head of the Sumimura family and is one generation with Tokiko Yukimura.
Shigemori always taught Yoshimori very hard so that he could fight against Ayakashi bravely. He was often afraid that Yoshimori would sink into darkness if his grandson was carried away by his powers. Despite that, this geezer is a very formidable kekkaishi.
4. Byaku
Byaku is the main enemy that Yoshimori and Tokine have to face in Kekaishi's story. He is the founder and leader of the Kokuboro group which has very strong Ayakashi members.
Byaku was originally an ordinary man who already has a wife. However, he has a pretty tragic past that makes his personality change. In terms of strength, Byaku has a cyborg physical body and he is able to control insect demons that he can command at will.
3. Gen Shishio
In third place, there is a boy named Gen Shishio who joins the Night Troop group. He is actually a half human Ayakashi which allows him to turn into a werewolf or werewolf.
Gen was assigned by Masamori to help Kekkaishi against the Kokuboro group. Even so, Gen was less familiar and had difficulty adapting to Yoshi and Tokine. He prefers to fight with his own strength. Unfortunately, Gen was killed in the fight against Kaguro.
2. Tokine Yukimura
This beautiful girl is one of the humans who has the gift of Kekkaishi power. She was given the task of protecting the land of Karasumori from attacks by the Ayakashi. In carrying out her duties, she usually cooperates with Yoshimori.
Tokini has a calm nature in various situations. Not only that, she also always carries out her duties as Kekkaishi seriously. Although Tokine's strength is not as strong as Yoshimori's, in fact Tokine seems more skilled against Ayakashi.
1. Yoshimori Sumimura
Finally, there is the figure of Yoshimori who is the main character in the Kekkaishi story. Just like Tokine, he also has the power of Kekkaishi within him and he was assigned by his grandfather to guard Karasumori's land from the threat of Ayakashi.
At first, Yoshimori was reluctant to take on the task. He even prefers to play soccer than practice fighting. However, the name of the obligation must still be done. Yoshimori also hunts Ayakashi every night with Tokine accompanied by their family's pet dog.
