Main characters

Tsukune Aono (青野 月音, Aono Tsukune)

Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio

The male protagonist of the series, Tsukune Aono is mistakenly enrolled in an academy for monsters. He soon meets Moka Akashiya, a vampire who takes an interest in him, due to the sweet taste of his blood (an ongoing gag that occurs throughout the series with her catching Tsukune off-guard and biting him on the neck). Fearful for his life and ready to leave the school, it is only his affection for Moka that gets him to continue attending Yōkai Academy. Though he has no special powers of his own, he constantly risks his life to protect his friends. Later on, he acquires vampiric abilities, then ghoul-based powers (the latter of which puts his humanity in jeopardy), but allowing him to fight toe-to-toe with almost any supernatural foe.

Though ordinary and often cowardly in the beginning, Tsukune's willingness to protect his friends without thinking twice about it earns him many new companions and the affection of the girls surrounding him. He is both gentle and understanding, and displays great courage when his friends are threatened. Later in the series, Aono is infused with Moka's blood and starts to undergo changes, such as gaining vampire fighting skills when him or one of his friends is threatened. At first, Moka feels responsible for this, but Aono says that he doesn't blame her for his transformation. After he and Inner Moka defeat a monster, she tells what is going to happen to him.

Moka Akashiya (赤夜 萌香, Akashiya Moka)

Voiced by: Nana Mizuki

Moka Akashiya is the first person Tsukune meets when he sets foot in the yokai Academy Exceptionally sweet and kind, Moka is a vampire, and takes a liking to Tsukune, after ingesting his blood, and becomes addicted in doing so. When the rosario around her neck is removed, the seal keeping her true nature is released. Cold and arrogant, the inner Moka is a completely different entity from the kind, loving Moka, going so far as to specifically remind Tsukune to "be kind to the other Moka". Tsukune is the only one able to remove the rosario around Moka's neck.

Revealed in an omake, she loves tomato juice, but prefers Tsukune's blood. Her name is perhaps a pun on the word "mocha" (モカ), as well as reflecting her split personalities, as mocha is a combination of coffee (representing inner Moka) and cocoa (representing outer Moka, as well as being the namesake of her half-sister).

Newspaper Club

Kurumu Kurono (黒乃 胡夢, Kurono Kurumu)

Voiced by: Misato Fukuen

Kurumu Kurono is a succubus and is initially jealous of Moka's popularity overshadowing her own, though she eventually considers Moka a friend. She tries to seduce Tsukune and the male student body, using her charming techniques (through her succubi abilities, including her busty physique), making them her slaves. This is so she can find her "Destined One", in order to save her diminishing species, with the (mistaken) assumption that Moka is blocking her path. After a pitched battle between Kurumu and the unsealed Moka ends with Kurumu being badly beaten, Tsukune persuades the unsealed Moka to spare her. As a result, Kurumu not only becomes friends with the pair, she also becomes infatuated with Tsukune and makes a decision that he will be her "mate of fate". Described as a tough character, Kurumu sports a pair of bat wings, tail and razor-sharp nails in her true form, and has notable body strength (seen when carrying people during flight). The use of illusions and reality-bending techniques make up for her lack of combat abilities. Kurumu also carries a unique, innate sense of knowing when danger might occur. As of the second manga serialization, she is learning basic witchcraft.

In an omake, Kurumu reveals she has a serious weakness for sweets, to the extent that she once ate poisoned cookies she made and planned to give to Moka. Kurumu's mother is Ageha Kurono, who appears during the start of the school festival under the belief that Tsukune is her daughter's fiancé.

Yukari Sendo (仙童 紫, Sendō Yukari)

Voiced by: Kimiko Koyama

Yukari Sendo is one of the smartest students at Yōkai Academy, and the youngest at age 11. She is a witch, and always wears a typical witch costume (consisting of a hat and cape), which is considered by some students to be a violation of the school rules, and occasionally ends her sentences with "desū", which roughly translates to "it is". As a witch, she has problems with her classmates discriminating against her (in the series, witches are viewed as "border beings", those that are something between humans and the supernatural, as it is impossible to tell their difference by appearance alone). Despite ranking #1 on the examinations, she was a lonely prankster before meeting Tsukune and Moka. She initially hates Tsukune, claiming that she has fallen in love with Moka, and uses her magical powers to try to drive them apart. However, after both Tsukune and Moka save her from bullying classmates, she falls for him too. Her obsession with both has driven her to try to create a three-way relationship between them. She is the only girl of the group to actually kiss Tsukune. Yukari has, on occasion, developed some bizarre items, often leading to hilarious results or farfetched situations. Items she has developed includes the voodoo doll, Suku Suku Drops, and Ishin Denshin.

Yukari's parents, both highly skilled and adept in magic, appear during the start of the school festival seen in the anime adaptation, when they repair the torn-up academy.

Mizore Shirayuki (白雪 みぞれ, Shirayuki Mizore)

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya

Mizore Shirayuki is a yuki-onna. Keeping in line with Japanese mythological creatures, she has the ability to control the element of ice at will, and can form clones composed of said element. Frequently seen with a lollipop in her mouth (yuki-onna are vulnerable to warm climates; doing so keeps their bodies cool), Mizore returns to school after a delayed absence and shows an immediate interest in Tsukune. In truth, she becomes infatuated with him, going so far as to create her own journal/scrapbook with all of his newspaper articles. In the past, she confessed her love to a teacher until he began taking advantage of her, with the result that she froze him. With the incident and rumors spreading about her, Mizore made it hard for herself to trust anyone, but took a liking to Tsukune, believing he was just as miserable as she was. She eventually regains her sense of trust after Tsukune intervenes when the same teacher returns to kill her. Unfortunately, this leads Mizore to stalk Tsukune on a daily basis, from around 340 spying locations, according to her.

A running gag in the series is that Mizore always appears unexpectedly in the oddest locations (under tables, behind doors, the ceiling, bushes, even in the bathroom), and throws ice-based projectiles to disrupt any sort of tender moment Tsukune is having with any other girl. Mizore's mother is Tsurara Shirayuki, who appears during the start of the school festival under the belief that Tsukune is her daughter's boyfriend, while her unnamed father appears in the second anime adaptation. Her family name translates to "White Snow", in reference to her yōkai powers.

Ginei Morioka (森丘 銀影, Morioka Gin'ei)

Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki

The president of the newspaper club, Ginei Morioka, commonly referred to as "Gin", is a werewolf from Osaka who speaks in an Osakan dialect. He is a shameless peeping tom who began as an antagonist to Tsukune, but becomes somewhat of a senior to him and his friends. Though he ceases his schemes (so other students will stop calling him a pervert), his affections lie with Moka. It should be noted he has no second thoughts about trying to impress other girls. While working in the club, he tends to leave all the work to his subordinates, including the distribution of the paper. Ginei has proven himself a loyal friend and has provided the group with helpful information, often acting as the pervert. It is shown he has feelings for Sun. In his first year at Yōkai Academy, all he did was fight. Because of this, he was known the "Rabid Dog" until Sun put him in his place by being his opponent.

As a werewolf, when a full moon shines brightly, his abilities are heightened to a point where his speed exceeds Moka in her super-vampire state. While werewolves in general are stated to have their power wax and wane with the lunar cycle, it is unknown if all werewolves receive this much of an increase. Regardless, Ginei is still exceptionally fast, even when the moon is not full.

In the second manga serialization, it is revealed he was Kurumu and Mizore's sparring instructor.

Ruby Tojo (橙条 瑠妃, Tōjō Rubi)

Voiced by: Saeko Chiba

A witch from the human world, Ruby Tojo was part of a plot to destroy mankind as a response to a large garbage dump polluting her mistress' sanctuary. Her hate for humans stems from a car accident caused by a human drunk driver that took her parents' lives while the family was vacationing in the human world. Upon remembering the kind of love her parents had given her, she attempts to persuade her mistress to call off her plan, but to no avail, as her mistress was bent on destroying the human world. She disappears after her mistress is defeated and put to rest. Ruby reappears when Tsukune becomes out of control as a ghoul, and helps the exorcist in sealing his abilities. She now resides at Yōkai Academy as the board chairman's aide and continues to work for him in the second manga serialization. Despite not being an official student, she receives permission to become a member of the newspaper club. Exclusively in the anime, a running gag involves her randomly switching positions to help the school. When asked why, she states "many many things" have happened, though it is believed these are orders from the chairman as a debt of gratitude for providing her with a new magic wand.

In an omake, the reason Ruby works under the board chairman is her infatuation with Tsukune, and by working at the academy, she could be near him. The anime omits the presence of her master or the inclusion of her parents, drastically changing the events surrounding her, including the reasons behind her return. Much of Ruby's magic revolves around a motif of ravens and flora, both as familiars and alternate forms for her to take. Apparently, Ruby has shown that she is a masochist and the biggest pervert of them all during a training exercise for Tsukune to control his yōkai powers. She even admits to Tsukune being his toy.

Kokoa Shuzen (朱染 心愛, Shuzen Kokoa, Koko in the English Manga)

Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō

Introduced in the second manga serialization and anime adaptation, Kokoa Shuzen (pronounced Ko-ko-ah) is the younger half-sister of Moka Akashiya. Bearing a similar appearance to Moka with her green eyes, except for her orange hair and her "uncool" vampire attitude, she arrives as a first-year student to Yōkai Academy. Like her sister, Kokoa is also a vampire, but her powers are not sealed and does not carry the same level of supernatural strength that Moka possesses. To compensate, she has a pet bat named Kou (Nazo Koumori in the anime) that can transform into a variety of weapons and wields it with enough strength to make herself formidable.

Kokoa despises Moka for sealing away her inner personality, whom she adores and loves. Before Moka left to study at the academy and prior to her receiving the rosario, the sisters often clashed with one another, although Kokoa could never defeat Moka in a duel. She constantly attacks Moka, in hopes of drawing out the "inner Moka" and feels angry that Tsukune has the ability to unlock Moka's true nature and begrudgingly accepts the presence of her sealed sister. Unlike Moka, Kokoa harbors a deep-seated fear of their older sister Kahlua Shuzen: known as the kindest amongst their family, Kahlua continuously babies Kokoa and has a "smile of an angel", something Kokoa is frightened of. Also, in the final episode of Rosario + Vampire Capu2, Kokoa has started to have feelings for Tsukune when he was getting beaten up by her father. She also gradually accepts him as a friend.

As a parallel to her sisters, Kokoa's name may be an intended pun on the word "cocoa" (ココア).

Sun Otonashi (音無 燦, Otonashi Sun)

Also known as Sun-sempai, she's a graduate of the school and the former president of the Newspaper Club. She rarely speaks and carries around a sketch book to write on instead of talking. She was the one who taught Ginei how to use a camera and stopped him from fighting everyone in his first year. She lives with Marin who found her after she had nowhere to go. She is a Siren who has a perfect song of protection. However her true power lies in her offensive ultrasonic which slowly breaks her opponent's body internally. Gin has remarked that Sun's sketch book is actually her power limiter. Sun is also called the "Strongest Of The Generations" in Yokai Academy. She is shown admiring Tsukune.

Faculty

Shizuka Nekonome (猫目 静, Nekonome Shizuka)

Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue

One of the many school teachers at Yōkai Academy, Shizuka Nekonome is Tsukune and Moka's homeroom teacher and also the advisor for the Newspaper Club. A nekomusume (cat lady), she is rather carefree in her attitude and somewhat oblivious to certain things. The manga reveals she likes to eat raw fish, but specifically, as shown in the omake, goldfish. Her animated counterpart does not seem to show any hatred towards humans, unlike the rest of the teachers in the school. This is particularly shown prior to Tsukune's execution incident, when she worries about his fate and argues how the school was built to promote human relationships with yōkai and vice versa. She is also said to own a villa in the human world.

Ririko Kagome (籠女 李々子, Kagome Ririko)

Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa

Ririko Kagome is a teacher at Yōkai Academy, specializing in mathematics. Seemingly innocent and deeply concerned for her students' grades, she offers private lessons to anyone willing, though at a price. In the dark recesses of her chambers, she becomes a lamia, with the head and torso of a beautiful woman, but the body of a serpent, and uses her abilities to drain students' emotions in exchange for knowledge; she does this through a flower-like appendage on her tail. She also seems to have a fetish for S&M outfits. Ririko is only lascivious to males; any girls that need lessons are made to dress up in maid outfits and serve her tea. It is important to note that unlike other antagonists, she is not inherently evil, but rather very passionate about the education of the academy's students, as well as the status between teachers and students.

In the manga, Ririko tries to enslave Tsukune when he is forced to have tutoring by her in order to correct his failing grades in math, and when Moka attempts to rescue him Tsukune snaps out of Ririko's control long enough to remove Moka's rosario. Naturally, Inner Moka is easily able to defeat Ririko. She reappears later (apparently not holding a grudge) to warn Tsukune and Moka about Okuto Kotsubo.

Hitomi Ishigami (石神 ひとみ, Ishigami Hitomi)

Ishigami is the art teacher at Yōkai Academy, and is the legendary gorgon, Medusa, with her braided hair standing in for the snakes of a gorgon. Her bite can instantly turn its victim into stone, but she lacks to ability to turn people into stone with a gaze. Ishigami has a desire to turn any attractive female student into stone to add her to Ishigami's collection of living art, but is stopped by Tsukune and Moka, resulting in her immediate sacking from the faculty. Ishigami returns, secretly informing the Student Police Committee of Tsukune's human nature, but immediately leaves the scene when the head of the Student Police is soundly defeated.

In the final chapters of Series I, Ishigami reveals it was she who gave Kyouko, Tsukune's cousin, the Lilith Mirror, with the intention of stealing his soul and the added bonus of releasing all the students into their monster state through the powers of the artifact in order to create an uproar that will destroy the school. She states how death and destruction is the purest form of art. Ishigami is defeated a second time and arrested.

Mikogami Board Chairman (Exorcist)

Voiced by: Masaharu Satou

A mysterious exorcist, who is an old friend of the bus driver, he is always seen hooded beneath his garments and possesses extremely strong, anti-demonic powers, having the ability to seal Tsukune's ghoul nature. He has the same strange eyes as the bus driver.

The chairman is, in fact, one of the three Dark Lords or Hell-Kings, the creators of Yōkai Academy, and the ones who placed a barrier separating the human world from the supernatural world. Carries Rosary of Judgement used to make barriers He is also aware Tsukune is human, but allows him to stay at the academy in exchange for performing favors and tasks, including rooting out members of ANTI-THESIS. He seems to also be immortal (or at least in possession of very strong regenerative abilities), having been severely wounded (impaled in the back by the leader of ANTI-THESIS) but recovering after.

Okuto Kotsubo (小壷 奥人, Kotsubo Okuto)

Voiced by: Yasuyuki Kase

The physical education teacher at Yōkai Academy and a kraken. Mizore once confessed to Kotsubo she liked him and he tried to take advantage of her, thus she froze him. When he returns, Kotsubo effortlessly attempts to pin the injuries of two students on Mizore to have her expelled and tries to kill her. With the help of Moka's blood infusion and the borrowed vampire power, Tsukune soundly defeats him and exposes the truth to the whole school.

Apsara (亜婦皿, Apusara)

Voiced by: Kyoko Hikami

Appearing exclusively in the anime, Apsara-sensei is the Indian cooking teacher of Yōkai Academy and an apsara. Her favorite dish is curry and is very passionate about the dish. Unfortunately, the curry takes a side-effect of turning anyone who eats it into a "curry zombie".

Student Police

A group of enforcers on school grounds charged with protecting the academy, these members use their status to their advantage, similar to hall monitors. Anyone who opposes them is delivered swift punishment through methods of imprisonment and torture. They collect tribute and bribes from clubs; if they do not pay, they will be shut down. The corrupt Student Police have a long-standing rivalry with the Newspaper Club. According to Deshi (anime only), she, Kuyou, a bespectacled male who becomes a cerberus, and a tall, sadistic male who becomes a golem are referred to as the Student Police's Four Kings.

Kuyou (九曜)

Voiced by: Ikeda Shuichi

Head of the Student Police Committee, Kuyou enforces the group's rules with a tyrannical and sadistic iron fist, going so far to state if someone goes against him, they are against the school. He is a yōko (kitsune), bearing four tails, many fire-based abilities and able to take on a hybrid form between his human and yōkai appearance. He believes yōkai and humans will always remain enemies, claiming friendship between the two only occurs in fairy tales. He and the other members of the Student Police decimated the previous Newspaper Club, leaving Gin the only remaining member.

Keito (蛍糸)

Voiced by: Yukana Nogami

Ordered by Kuyou to keep an eye on the Newspaper Club (to make sure it wasn't doing anything the Student Police considered "illegal"), Keito is a spider-woman. Her animated incarnation places her in charge of a rival "super newspaper club" which would have replaced the current one. Keito also has 3 underlings, whose names are Tonko Oniyama, Shijimi Chouno, and Sumae Mizuno. The three girls were all insect monsters who were made servants by her venom, and all of whom were members of past clubs who the Student Police shut down; she also wanted to add Kurumu to her clique.

Deshiko Deshi (でし でし子, Deshi Deshiko)

Voiced by: Saori Goto

A red-haired member of the Student Police; she appears as a generic member of Student Police in the manga, but her role is expanded in the anime. She is perhaps classified as a Jiang Shi. She becomes the first girl on campus to fall under Koumori's hypnosis, after he takes a human appearance. She may be an homage to Lei-Lei of Darkstalkers, as Capcom is one of the anime's sponsors.

ANTI-THESIS (Anti-Schoolers)

A group mainly composed of hybrid yōkai, half-breed monsters that take no definitive, physical form of anything classified as a supernatural creature (such as vampires and werewolves), who wish for nothing more than to destroy the current school system. They have an extreme hatred of pure-blooded yōkai, who they claim look down on half-breeds, forcing them to become subservient to their pure-blooded masters. In the English manga, they are referred to as "Monstrels" and Anti-Thesis is called "Anti-Schoolers".

Most members of ANTI-THESIS do not appear in the anime adaptation, as the anime focuses more on the romantic-comedy aspect of the series.

Hokuto Kaneshiro (金城 北都, Kaneshiro Hokuto)

The current president of the Yōkai Academy School Committee, Hokuto Kaneshiro is a charismatic individual and strikes up a quick friendship with Tsukune, after he is forced into the school committee. In actuality, Hokuto is the leader of ANTI-THESIS and a hybrid yōkai, determined to bring a swath of destruction and chaos upon the academy. However, he intends to break the barrier separating the human and yōkai worlds, flooding the supernatural creatures into city streets, igniting a bloody war between them.

Hokuto was originally human, and following years of physical abuse from his father, he accidentally enrolls himself into Yōkai Academy to escape from him. Unfortunately, all he found there was death and unlike Tsukune, he admits he never had anyone to protect him when he first arrived. His true form is repressed by a Holy Lock, similar to Tsukune's. Unlike Tsukune, Hokuto monster form is a giant insect-like creature with massive blades for appendages that can cause massive damage. Even with his true form suppressed, Hokuto is intelligent and a powerful practitioner of martial arts, which, when combined with his ability to unwrap and extend his fingers to strike with rock-shattering force, makes him a deadly foe. Hokuto attacks the board chairman and claims his rosary, entering the basement of Yōkai Academy, where the mechanism controlling the barrier is located. Tsukune and Moka manage to bring him down, but it takes a combined effort from Tsukune, his friends and Hokuto to restore the barrier, with the hybrid recalling Tsukune's promise to bring some form of order back into the student body. Hokuto reconciles with Tsukune, but summarily leaves after the school festival begins.

He is currently with Fairy Tale and is confined to a wheelchair. His position is 1st Subdivision Staff Officer.

Kyria Yoshii (吉井 霧亜, Yoshii Kiria)

The second-in-command of ANTI-THESIS, Kiria Yoshii is occasionally seen carrying and reading a small book called "No Longer Human". Calm and collected, he appears to be interested only in seeing how the events surrounding his superior, Kaneshiro Hokuto, will work out, and shares his view of releasing violence acted out on the students. Like Hokuto, Kiria is a hybrid, where his right arm becomes a scythe. It is revealed Kiria injected his blood to Hokuto, transforming him into a monster, so that he could "survive" the dangers of the academy. Ironically, he also appears grateful to Tsukune for changing Hokuto after his foiled attempt in destroying the barrier separating the human and yōkai worlds. He leaves Yōkai Academy with Hokuto after the school festival begins.

Kiria is currently affiliated with the Fairy Tale organization and is last seen airlifting Miyabe and Kalua Shuzen to safety. He made another failed attempt by crashing the plane Tsukune, Moka and her friends were on. His position in Fairy Tale is 1st Subdivison Deputy Leader.

Mizuki Ueshiba (植芝 蚓希, Ueshiba Mizuki)

A member of the School Committee, Mizuki Ueshiba approaches Tsukune after he is nominated to participate with the School Festival Committee. Unfortunately, he accidentally reveals himself to be the mole Tsukune is looking for in the Student Committee, alerting him to the presence of ANTI-THESIS. Ironically, his own abilities and true form reflect that of a mole, able to bury his victims underground.

Mako Yakumaru (薬丸 麻子, Yakumaru Mako)

Disguised as a nurse in the school's hospital, Mako Yakumaru is first sent to assassinate Midou Kusabi after he fails to kill Tsukune. In order to sow dissesion among Tsukune and his friends, Mako controls and manipulates Moka's body after injecting her with a hypnotic fluid, forcing her to try to kill him. When this tactic fails, Mako injects her fluid into a multitude of bystanders, all forced to attack Tsukune.

She appears in the second season of the anime and designated as the actual school nurse, rather than in disguise as one.

Kusabi Midou (御堂 楔, Midou Kusabi)

One of the many enforcers within ANTI-THESIS, Midou Kusabi takes it upon himself to kill Tsukune, after witnessing his temporary vampiric powers, but faces super-vampire Moka, instead. Despite being thoroughly outclassed, he manages to disable her and deal a fatal blow to Tsukune, forcing Moka to inject too much of her blood into Tsukune, causing him to succumb and transform into a ghoul. Midou is brutally pummelled within an inch of his life by the berserk Tsukune, only to be dispatched later by Yakumaru Mako.

Saizou Komiya (小宮 砕蔵, Komiya Saizou)

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama

A typical class bully, Saizou Komiya attempts to rape Moka, but is knocked out by her super-vampire self, and disappears from Yōkai Academy for a while. The anime classifies him as an orc, while in the manga he was left unclassified. In the manga only, he reappears when Tsukune is elected class president. He joins ANTI-THESIS in the hopes of exacting revenge, but ends up defeated when Tsukune temporarily transforms into a vampire. For hastily rushing ahead and bringing other members of ANTI-THESIS without consent, Saizou is killed for insubordination.

Saizou's anime incarnation is portrayed with less brutality and is actually on amicable terms with Tsukune after his first appearance. When his parents come to the academy for a visit, his father is revealed to be a past object of affection Tsurara and Ageha had fought over, only now he has become bald and overweight.

Other Students

Jyunya Inui (乾 潤也, Inui Jyunya)

A second year student who appears in the special chapter of the manga, Jyunya Inui claims to be vampire and is particularly familiar with the rules of the species. He becomes interested in Moka and reminds her vampires cannot have relationships with other races. Tsukune is able to deduce his nature, stating he lacks the strength of a real vampire, after he takes a punch. In fact, he is an onimodoki, creatures who often pretend to be powerful monsters and intimidate other races, but are weak and frail.

Haji Miyamoto (宮本 灰次, Miyamoto Haji)

Captain of the Yokai Academy Karate club, he is a very skilled fighter. He first appears in Chapter 8 of the second serialization and is a self-proclaimed lolicon. He may be obsessed with Sun as well since when he heard Gin had left to meet her he got on the next bus. He and Gin have fought together in the past and he is currently fighting against Fairy Tale. He also has a Technique called "Empty Fist Thrust", similar to a Touate attack. He and Gin beat the entire 7th Branch of Fairy Tale, and he also has feelings for Sun. It has yet to be revealed what kind of monster Haji is.

Fong-Fong Wong

An effiminate first year student who first appears in Chapter 23 of the second serialization. Fanfan is a Chinese yokai whose father is the leader of a major Chinese Mafia organization, and entered Yokai Academy to recruit powerful subordinates. He is a Yasha, and can summon other monsters to fight on his behalf, though only one can be summoned at a time. He is occasionally accompanied by a giant panda, which he claims is his servant. Fanfan is particularly interested in recruiting Tsukune, having heard of his taking out a human Yakuza group and mistakenly believing that he, not Gin and Haji, was responsible for destroying Fairy Tale's 7th Branch. When he first asked Tsukune to join he accidentally painted himself as a homosexual. After witnessing Inner Moka's power, he decides that Tsukune and Moka are an "invincible partnership" (also assuming without basis that Inner Moka is Tsukune's wife) and wishes to recruit them both. Recently, he knows of Moka's Rosario when he heard a "creak" from the seal. In Chapter 28 he leaps for joy as he has friends over to his house for the first time.

Ling-Ling Wong

Fong-Fong's older sister who appears just a chapter after her brother's introduction. Lin-Ling is a Jiang Shi (a Chinese hopping corpse) who commands an army of similar beings. Being a Jiang Shi, Ling-Ling is actually dead (she died due to an illness) and makes this point so clear to others that it becomes her catchphrase. She can also disembody herself without harm, as shown by her head being removed multiple times in her introductory chapter. Ling-Ling wants to kill Tsukune so that she can make him into a Jiang Shi and add him to her army. Ling-Ling transfers to Yokai Academy as a third year student, since no one knows her true age and thus no one can prove that she isn't a third year student.

Fan Club Leaders

The Fan Club Leaders are three anime original characters. Their names are Kouzou Kasahara, Bouzaburou Taira and Kubisaku Nagai. The three boys are obsessed with, respectively, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari, and each heads a fan club devoted to the said girl of their obsession. It is revealed in the anime that they start the fanclubs because they want to latch onto the girls so they will not be laughed at ever again (they do so because of the rather comical appearances of their true forms: Kouzou is a karakasa, Bouzaburou is a noppera-bo and Kubisaku is a rokurokubi). Although they are not quite strong as monsters, but when transformed, they can merge their true forms into a giant monster known as "Daidarabochi", but this does not stop them to be defeated (to their awe) by the unsealed Moka.

Ran Otonashi (音無　蘭, Otonashi Ran)

Voiced by: Megumi Takamoto

She is one of the characters exclusive to the PS2 video game. She is a new first year student attending Yokai Academy, and is the eldest of the three Otonashi sisters. She is a siren and along with her sisters, attempts to gain the affection of all the boys in the school with their abilities. Ran is revealed to be very shy around boys, and is also an otaku, as it is mentioned that she reads BL and Shōjo manga.

Rin Otonashi (音無　凛, Otonashi Rin)

Voiced by: Megumi Takamoto

Rin is a character exclusive to the PS2 video game along with her sisters. She is a new first year attending Yokai Academy, and is the middle child of the three sisters. Like her sisters, she is also a siren and attempts to entrance the boys of the school. Rin the most active and energetic one out of the three sisters, but she is revealed to have incredibly bad memory. If she does not have her headphones on, she cannot remember anything.

Ren Otonashi (音無　蓮, Otonashi Ren)

Voiced by: Megumi Takamoto

Ren is the youngest of the three sisters exclusive to the PS2 game, and is a first year attending Yokai Academy. She is a siren and with her sisters, attempts to gain popularity and affection from the male students through their abilities. Ren seems to be the one with the most common sense out of the sisters, but she has a habit of only seeing the negative side of things and rarely the positive side.

Kotori Ginryu

A character exclusive to the DS video game.

Omaji Natsuhiko

A character exclusive to the DS video game.

Fairy Tale

A group of yōkai dedicated to throwing harmony into chaos and ruling over the human world. They appear in the second serialization of the manga series.

Miyabi Fujisaki

A member of Fairy Tale who was in charge of the operations in the yuki-onna village. Miyabi was arranged to marry Mizore, and forcibly kissed her before she was rescued by Tsukune and company. He seems to have an obsession with the concept of perfection, and is quite strong physically, though apparently less so than Tsukune when using his vampire powers. Miyabi stops the fight between Kahlua and Moka, canceling Kahlua's orders to kill everyone present, because Kahula would have been at risk of dying from her injuries even if she won, had the fight continued.

Kahlua Shuzen (朱染 刈愛, Shuzen Karua)

Kahlua is the older sister of Moka and Kokoa. Carrying a child-like personality, Kokoa is deeply afraid of her and claims Kahlua is the best assassin in the Shuzen family, but ironically hates to hurt others, the reason why she cries whenever she kills. Her earrings are a limiter, akin to Moka's rosario; once taken off, Kahlua has access to further transformations that allows her arms to develop razor sharp bat wings. According to Yukari, all vampires were able to take forms of other animals, but due to a vampire's vanity of beauty over form, this is considered a lost technique. She is also "Charmed" so she feels no pain and can ignore injuries easily, but in the end she could die once it wears off. Kahlua could have easily killed Moka in their battle, but tried to hold back because of the love for her sister, she is one of the most powerful encountered by Tsukune in the series, even surpassing the power of Kaneshiro Hokuto.

Kahlua appears in the land of the yuki onna, hired by the Fairy Tale organization to assist Miyabe and kill everyone in the snow village and fought against the Newspaper club decimating them until inner Moka showed up. She removed her one of her two rosarios and fought her using her awakened form, only stopping when Miyabe stepped in.

Similar to her sisters, Kahlua's name is perhaps a pun on the Kahlúa drink.

Akuha Shuzen

Akuha Shuzen is the oldest sister in Moka's family. Like Kahlua, she is also a member of Fairy Tale. Not much is known about her, but it was suggested by Kahlua that Akuha is not on good terms with Moka, as something happened between the two in the past. It was later revealed that she had come to the family to try and steal the power of Moka's mother, one of the strongest vampires in existence and the sealer of Alucard; an ancient vampire who once aspired to destroy the world. Akuha's mother died when she was young and she had lived with a relative in China before coming to live with the Shuzen family. She is extremely skilled in Chinese kung-fu, as her "Yōho Saishusui" (translated as "Twist Step, Plucking Hand Strike") would knock a person out for at least three days. In addition, she has also mastered the "Hōgetsu Jigen-Tō" (translated as "Moon-Crushing Dimensional Sword"), a technique used by Tōhō Fuhai. Ahuka has amazing insight in battle as she was able to see the truth behind Kaluha's "tears". She is known to the Chinese mob scene even as a child. She is called "The Black Devil" because of her black clothes and lethal kung-fu. Even Moka is in awe of her as Akuha saves her from Chinese mobsters. Akuha's name is perhaps a pun on "aqua", the Latin word for water.

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu

Called "Kou-chan" in manga, Nazo Komori was originally a birthday gift from Kokoa to Moka. According to Kokoa, he is a bake-bake bat that can transform into any weapon. However, he weighs 100 kilograms, and since Moka did not have superhuman strength when she was 10 years old, Kou-chan ended up with Kokoa. In the anime, he acts as the narrator and occasionally covers up various shots of fanservice (done in the television broadcast, while the DVD version is uncensored), and also appears to state the exact duration of a fight. In the manga, various bats of similar design are used to give information on the various yōkai encountered at the academy.

In Rosario + Vampire Capu2, Nazo takes a more active part in the story as Kokoa's pet (much to the characters' surprise, since all believed he was simply a narrator), possessing the ability to transform itself into a variety of blunt weapons and in one instance, a rapier. Nazo can also take human form, specifically of a incubus, transforming into a teenager with the power of hypnosis through the uttering of a specific word (Je t'aime, the French phrase for "I love you").

Despite being kind and gentle, Akasha is one of the true ancestors of the Vampire race and managed to defeat the most powerful Vampire Lord at her time, thus making her a "Dark Lord" and the leader of the three. However, when she defeated the Vampire Lord, Alucard, her blood was synchronized with his blood, meaning that if Akasha unleashed her full power, it could cause Alucard to awaken once more. This caused even more trouble for her when she gave birth to Moka. Because Moka was on the verge of death when she was born, Akasha injected much of her blood into Moka to keep her alive. Therefore, Moka also possesses the "Shinso Blood" and could awaken Alucard from his slumber. After Moka discovered the corpse of the Vampire Lord, Akasha forced Moka to leave her home in order to protect her. She destroyed all of her photos and diaries, leaving behind no connections, except the rosary seal to protect Moka.
