Characters
Iori Katanagi (片儺木 伊織, Katanagi Iori)
Iori is unmotivated, lazy and obnoxious. He hates being a shaman and desires to be normal, but is often forced to do jobs by his sister. However, he is a caring person deep down, who will protect people, even if it costs his life. He has tamed the phantom Ongyoki, which gives him power over shadows. He despises Senjudoji and wants to destroy her out of anger for killing someone close to him.
Riku Aibetsu (哀別 理久, Aibetsu Riku)
Riku is a girl who likes helping people. At first, she thought she had the sixth sense to detect danger, when in reality, she is a Beckoning Hand, meaning she attracts phantoms. However, this does not weaken her resolve and even begins training to be a shaman so she can help people.
Yayoi Katanagi (片儺木 弥生, Katanagi Yayoi)
Iori's older sister. She is a powerful shaman and has multiple abilities, including clairvoyance, mind reading and the ability to obliterate phantoms. She often forces her brother to do jobs. She is often seen smiling and has a slightly playful personality. Her Phantom's abilities are related to eyes.
Kenma Oigawa (大井川 研真, Ōigawa Kenma)
Kenma is gentlemanly, respectful and serious, the exact opposite of Iori. He wants Iori to take his job more seriously. He has tamed Tengu, which allows him to manipulate sound waves.
Chihiro Kurose (黒瀬 千尋, Kurose Chihiro)
The self proclaimed "Young Star of the Shaman World". He is flashy and is usually seen flirting with women, but takes his job as a Shaman seriously. He has an unnamed phantom that grants him pyrokinetic abilities, but only if he has a source, such as a lighter.
Senjudoji
Senjudoji is a phantom that takes the form of a little girl. She is sadistic, cruel and arrogant. She is currently hunting Beckoning Hands.
