The main protagonist and the son of the branch family of Tsuchimikado clan. Despite being born into a distinguished Onmyouji family, he has no magical powers. He had been living a normal and laid back life seeing that he could not accomplish anything without any magical powers. When he was young, he made a promise with Natsume to become her shikigami and protect her. After witnessing the death of Hokuto, he became Natsume's shikigami to keep his promise he made to her many years ago. He seems to have some sort of 'Bad luck' which he considers an ancient curse passed down by his ancestors. <!--He is really weak in studies and is usually tutored by Natsume to avoid being held back a year.-->

A former delinquent and Harutora's best friend from school. He is capable of special spirit sensing and has a vast knowledge on Onmyoudou. He was a victim to the Spiritual Disaster from two years ago. Harutora's doctor father treated him although the after-effects remained. He realized way before Harutora that Natsume was the one who conjured Hokuto. He enrolled the Onmyou Academy in Tokyo along with Harutora. He usually helps Harutora whenever he gets in trouble. He is always seen wearing a green bandanna. <!--Two years prior to the story, it was revealed that he was possessed by the Ogre which caused the Spiritual Disaster. Thus in the end he became a Half-Ogre and now tries to gain control to contain the Ogre within himself. The reason he enrolled to Onmyou Academy was to purify the Ogre inside him.-->

She is part of the top students in the school and one of only 3 known students to possess a Gohou-Type shikigami which consists of two Yaksha demon class warriors called Hakuou & Kokfuu. Initially she appears antagonistic towards Harutora (and by extension Natsume) due suspicion of using his family's fame and status of being Natsume's shikigami to suddenly enroll directly into the elite academy at mid semester. <!--After a series of events, she reconciles with Harutora, establishing a friendship based on common ground. she also reveals two surprising truths; first being, that Kurahashi's were once a branch family of the Tsuchimikado's. Second, she had once visited Tsuchimikado's home as very young child and Kyouko had made a certain promise with Natsume at the at time. But once they had reunited again Natsume treated her like a complete stranger, frustrated at having her feelings trampled she used Harutora as a pretext to start fights with Natsume. However ironically in reality, the person she met that day wasn't Natsume, but Harutora who she mistook as Natsume. After helping Harutora save Natsume from a Yakou Disciple the two make up. This later causes her to admit to Harutora that she is in love with Natsume, being oblivious to the fact that she is a girl. Kyouko now plans to further her relationship with Natsume and forces a reluctant Harutora to help her as payment for the Yakou Disciple incident.-->
