He is the reason for Kanae's bad luck. He carries around a fan and has an affinity for miso.

The youngest brother after Shouka and Reishin, he acts as the proxy head of the Kou family. Because of his long rule, many outside of the clan believe him to be the true leader rather than Reishin. A man of traditions and family loyalty, Kurou wields the enormous power of the Kou to protest the arrest of Reishin, single-handedly causing nearly half the country to cease functioning when he orders clan members to not go into work. It is he who worked to get their father, the former family head, to pass over Shouka in favor of Reishin as the next clan leader, as he views Shouka as useless. In terms of personality, he and Reishin are more similar than he and Shouka. Though he may view his eldest brother with disfavor, which does not prevent him from taking action on those who would act unfavorably against Shouka. When Kurou found out that the servants of Shouka's residence stole all the valuables, while Shouka remained in shock over his wife's passing, the proxy head ordered that each servant, to the last of them, be found and shown the tortures of Hell. Not only did that happen, their severed ears and eyes were sent to their families to warn them against any such future behavior towards a member of the Kou family. Unbeknownst to Shūrei, Kurou comes to the capital in order to give her more protection than Shouka could offer that when she begins on the path of an imperial officer. To that end, he provides her the protection of the Kou clan via the travel pass made for her journey to the Sa Province to take up co-governorship. Though the mark on the travel pass was of the Kou (Yellow) clan's, as it was Kijin who issued the pass, the special "seven-colored" ink used could only be made by the Kou (Crimson) clan, marking her as a person of importance to them. He intends to have Shuurei and Kouyuu wed, with the two of them to lead the clan in the future.

Kokujin Sa is the youngest of the three brothers, whose kindness is regarded as a weakness by his family. He reminds Lady Eiki and Sakujun of a young Enjun. Kokujun is fond of his cousin Shunki, and he releases Seiran and Ensei from confinement so they can rescue her. However, Ensei lectures him harshly for letting others risk their lives, encouraging Kokujun to take action himself. As a result, Kokujun safely brings Eigetsu and Kourin to Kinka, concealing his knowledge that Kourin is not really the female co-governor. When the ring of the Sa clan is recovered, Kokujun takes on the leadership of the Sa clan with Shunki's support. He is close friends with Ryuuren Ran, who is the same age as Kokujin, and admires Ryuuren greatly. (Source: Wikipedia)

A shy and very intelligent thirteen-year-old boy from Seika Village in the Koku Province. He came to the Capital to take the Imperial Exams after passing the Provincial Exams at the age of twelve. His money was given to him by all the people in his village, to wish him well. He later lives with the Kou family since he sends most of what he earns to his village. He has another personality (Yougetsu) which comes out when he comes in contact with sake. Yougetsu unlike Eigetsu is a strong fighter and is very agile.

A boy who ended up in 4th place in the National Exams also wanting to be assigned in the same Department as Kouyuu.He idolizes Kouyuu and claims that he wants to be him.

The oldest of the Kou Family and Shuurei's father. He also took in Seiran into his home thirteen years ago. After turning down the position of being the head of the Kou family, he was kicked out of the main household. He then moved to the capital where his younger brother, Reishin, got him a job in the Palace. He works in the Palace as the head of the Royal Archives even though the pay is cheap. Ryuuki often visited Shouka in the Royal library when he was young because Shouka seemed to be one of the few people who treated him with kindness. His job is only that of a librarian, but he is highly respected by everyone. In the English version, his name is Shoka Hong since Kou is another family name in the series. Kou has two kanji symbols in Japanese, one red the other Yellow, which explains why two families have the same romanised name. To avoid confusion, 'Hong' was given unto Shoka's family, the same as the Mandarin Chinese reading. (Source: Wikipedia)

First seen as a traveler who was taken in by Shuurei when she saw him passed out, due to a summer heat wave, near the entrance of her house. She invited him into her house to eat. When Seiran returned home, Ensei recognized him and called him "The Little Whirlwind." He seems to be an old acquaintance of Seiran, but Seiran doesn't seem to like his presence even though they seem to have a friendly relationship. They were most likely old acquaintances during Seiran's time in Brown Province. Seiran assigned him to be Shuurei's temporary bodyguard while he's off fighting bandits. Also assigned to be the temporary administrator for the Department of Treasury and Taxation by Kijin. Seiren finds out he's been defending against thieves from Brown Province every night. He has a cross-shaped scar under his left eye. (Source: Wikipedia)
