A member of the Seto Group. Masa is the one who stole Nagasumi's first kiss (he was actually performing CPR, but anyone would use that as an excuse to say they got a kiss from a man as beautiful as him). Nagasumi and his mother are very attracted to Masa while father is very jealous of him. He also transfers to Nagasumi's school, becoming his math teacher. (whose word problems tend to describe to the mathematical aspects of underworld gang operations). There is a running gag of Nagasumi displaying an attraction towards Masa. Masa is the only one apart from Sun's mother who doesn't object to the engagement and sometimes even gives advice to Nagasumi. Before Masa lost his memory he was Shiranui Akeno's brother.

First appearance: Battle 266 Age: Mid-30s Type: Sei Type: Satsujin Ken Yami Symbol: Flame Martial Arts: Muay Thai and Muay Boran Agaard Jum Sai is the Muay Thai Master of Yami's One Shadow Nine Fists and the master of Tirawit Koukin. He is a tall, dark-skinned and incredibly muscular man with tribal tattoos on his face, much like those of his disciple. He has dark red hair and is always wearing a smile like his fellow fist Diego Carlo, as well as having bizarre eyes wih a plus in the middle. His overall physical appearance is similar to Apachai's. Agaard is a battle-loving man who is very willing to risk his life to beat his opponent, though doesn't wish to fight unless the opponent is strong. He is also more laid back than the other Fists that have appeared and has a very terrifying ability; a powerful charismatic aura. He can bring anyone around him under him and easily influence them without any effort, and does it unintentionally. He has also shown to be rather intelligent, as he regularly quizzes his disciple on how an enemy is acting or what they will do during a mission, and is very polite, asking his disciple to be respectful to the weapon's division members even if they were weaker. Agaard's manipulation has had some positive results that contributed to his past bond with Apachai, who only listened to the then junior champion of the ring. The effect has even had mutual results, since Agaard cried at the fact that both he and Apachai were walking the same path, and would one day have to kill each other. Agaard has also been shown to genuinely care for Apachai, as he thanks Kenichi for being Apachai's disciple, furthering both master and disciple into the martial arts world. Upon falling from Apachai's attacks, Agaard recognizes the Katsujin Ken as equal to the Satsujin Ken, and even congratulates Apachai on being able to perfect his Muay Thai through being able to hold back. His disciple Koukin has shown that he is terrified of his master, hinting to a darker side to the Demon Emperor. For what reason Tirawit is terrified of Agaard is unknown, though it is connected to Agaard's power and release of Ki. Agaard himself has only seen Koukin when he was calm up until his disciple's Dou-esque rage against Kenichi, indicating that Koukin may have recognized his master's power immediately and wisely chose not to do anything that might anger him. In spite of his terrifying Ki, he is not without honor, as he admitted defeat at the hands of Apachai and willingly let him choose what to do with him afterwards. Since meeting Kenichi, Agaard has taken a liking toward him, stating to Apachai that his disciple is something else. His respect toward Kenichi has grown to the point of even instructing him on fighting the Bantou Master to save his life. As with Koukin, Agaard does care for his disciple, as shown when he did not scold him for his loss at the hands of Kenichi and said his fight with him was magnificent. As a teenager, Agaard sees a child Apachai's extreme abilities at Muay Thai in an underground Muay Thai ring in Thailand and buys him off of the crime boss who had difficulty controlling him. He easily wins Apachai's trust by promising the Muay Thai prodigy with large amounts of food. Years later, both Agaard and Apachai promise to push themselves to the top of the Muay Thai ring and are both shown in their peaceful days of training after their master died. When Agaard reaches the finals of his match, he holds his own for a while before throwing the match in order to keep Apachai, who would be sent to another gym if Agaard won the match, at his gym. Agaard is shown to later have used a killing move that took effect late on his opponent, as the opponent dies shortly after touching the belt. Around this time, Agaard leaves his gym and heads off on his own path, joining Yami sometime after and killing the members of Muay Thai gym after gym, eventually confronting Apachai. He ends his battle with Apachai casually because the latter stopped training in order to keep his strength in check. Later, Agaard attacks the headquarters of Underground Muay Thai and kills several of its members and the top three masters of Muay Boran.
First appearance: Battle 173 Age: 30 Type: Dou Type: Katsujin Ken Martial Arts: Boxing and Underground Boxing James Shiba was a former champion boxer famous in the underworld nicknamed "The God of Destruction". James' right leg was crippled and right eye lost in a fight with Fuurinji Saiga, the One Shadow of Yami. Since then he became a hermit, living under a bridge in a shack containing a boxing gym, coming out only to play Pachinko. Takeda's reaction implies that he is one of the few Master-class Boxers in the world. Shiba is a tall and lean and muscular man with pale hair parted on the sides and shaved halfway down the middle and a long pointed out mustache which, like Akisame, takes great pride in and is usually pointing upwards. He wears dark pants with knee guards on his knees and dark boots with a ripped sleeveless vest. He has a type of joints inside his right leg and an eye patch over his right eye due to his injuries from Saiga in the past. He's sometimes seen smoking a cigarette. James is comically shown to be rather dishonorable and arrogant, to the point where Akisame mentions that "even Yami would not accept him for his arrogance" (though his opinion is arguably biased due to a mustache grudge he carries against James). Such is seen in the disciple race between him and Akisame, during which he flicks a Pachinko ball at Kenichi's head and causes him to fall over, taking advantage of this to give Takeda the lead. The other example is his refusal to cut off his own mustache despite the bet, by exploiting the wording of the bet and shaving only a few hairs off and then escaped by jumping onto the nearby bullet train. James is also not above taking advantage of Takeda, having him fight in betting matches in order to supplement his own income and becomes quite wealthy because of it. James also keeps various pets and names his moves after them, such as the Giant Cat Eye Frog Punch, named after a frog with cat eyes. He apparently hates being called "Sensei" as he punches Takeda as soon as he calls him "Sensei". During Takeda's fight with Kenichi, James is shown to care about Takeda by forfeiting the match claiming that it is foolish to break his source of money and forgetting the bet of cutting off his mustache if he lost (comically in a seppuku style), which he blatantly and arrogantly refused after being reminded of it. Like Takeda, James's best punch is left straight, the knowledge of which helps form a bond between the disciple and master. James' mustache and beard also indicate his mood: when they point downward, he is in a neutral or bad mood; when they point upward, he is excited. He also made Takeda wear restraints that exercised his boxing muscles, making his training methods similar to Akisame's due to how hellish it is. A young James Shiba believed that boxing was the strongest martial art, and participated frequently in underground bouts. Though he manages to make a name for himself quickly and conveniently, everything crashes around him when he loses in a fight with Fuurinji Saiga, supposedly making him die as a martial artist and laying him to waste for several years.
Fuuma's younger sister, a delicate child with a congenital heart condition, and a developing yumemi (dreamseer). She was Kamui's very close childhood friend, and despite his initial coldness when he returns to her life, remains steadfastly kind to him. In the TV series, her dream is to become an indigo dyesmith (in the style of Japan's Edo period), well aware of the commitment necessary, and she spends time in her school's library reading up on the subject. Kotori was an important key to making Kamui choose one of the two sides. She was destined to die by the second Kamui, the only thing that was left to fate was whether Kamui was going to kill her or Fuuma. However, since Kamui decides that the only thing he wants is to protect her (and thus indirectly saying he will join the Seals to protect humanity so that Kotori won't die), the person that finally kills her is Fuuma. The way she dies in the manga and in the XTV series varies a little. In the manga, she dies by being stabbed in the chest with a sword but her body ends up being dismembered when the wires that kept her tied to the cross slice her body to pieces (manga only). In the manga Kamui keeps her severed head and buries it. In the TV series, her body isn't chopped to pieces and Kamui buries her entire body. However, since Kotori began to obtain special seer abilities little before she dies, she opens a sort of psyquic link with Kakyou even after her sudden death. Kotori Monou is Fuuma's younger sister, a delicate child with a congenital heart condition, and a developing yumemi (dreamseer). She was Kamui's very close childhood friend, and despite his initial coldness when he returns to her life, remains steadfastly kind to him. In the TV series, her dream is to become an indigo dyesmith (in the style of Japan's Edo period), well aware of the commitment necessary, and she spends time in her school's library reading up on the subject. She remembers with horror the day her mother died as she gave birth to the first shinken (sacred sword); when she sees the same thing happen to Tokiko Magami, she loses her mind, able to communicate rationally only in the dreamscape. Before she reawakens she is killed by Fuuma as he becomes the Dark Kamui. Hinoto, however, tells Kamui that she was destined to die—that whichever boy became a Dragon of Earth would have killed her. In spirit form she stays with the Dragon of Earth dreamseer Kakyou Kuzuki for a time, encouraging and thanking him, and telling him that the future has not been determined yet. In the movie, Kotori dies when the second Sacred Sword is removed from her body. When Fuuma first attempts to do it, entering the dreamscape with such a purpose, Kotori actually escapes with Kamui's help and reaches Hinoto's room where he's waiting, but ultimately Fuuma catches her and pulls the Sacred Sword out of his sister's belly with his bare hands, killing her much to Kamui and everyone else's horror (Arashi, Sorata and Hinoto are also there). Kamui takes her body to the Tokyo Tower just before the final fight. (Source: Wikipedia)
Age: 20 The first Strike Witch and sub-commander of the unit, with the commissioned rank of Squadron Leader and official rank of Major. Mio is also the oldest witch at nineteen (later, twenty) years old and, like Yoshika, comes from Fuso. She is seemingly the toughest and most mature of the Witches, being an experienced veteran of the early fighting against the Neuroi. She knew Yoshika's father while he was first designing the Striker Unit and was the first person to pilot one. Mio's usual task is to train new recruits, and in this role she becomes a very strict disciplinarian, appropriately gaining the ears and tail of a Doberman when equipped with her Striker. Otherwise she is quite friendly, if a little too forward at times, with a very distinct laugh. Under Mio's eyepatch is a magic eye that grants her increased visual prowess and the ability to spot Neuroi cores when used. Being 19/20 years old however Mio's magical power has aged too far for her to erect effective shields in combat, however she can still fly and use her magical eye. Carries a 13mm Type99 Machine-gun into a battle along with a magical katana strapped to her back capable of cutting apart giant Neuroi. Her Striker Unit is based on the A6M Zero (in second season she receives a new Striker, based probably on the Kyuushuu J7W1 Shinden) and she herself is based on Saburo Sakai and Tetsuz� Iwamoto.

Kumagami is Ota's backup. She's Kanuka's replacement after she returns to New York. She was top of her class, and is an exceptional police officer. She was courted by several police agencies, but eventually chose the SV2 because of the challenge. Kumagami seems to be very level headed and nothing seems to faze her, though the antics of her workmates sometimes annoys her. Kumagami has an irrational fear of the supernatural, especially ghosts as her father was interested in the topic and she heard many ghost stories when she was a child. (Source: AniDB)
