Bekira (汨羅)

Voiced by: Masumi Asano

Bekira is a bokor who is an employee of the Department of Custody's Group 1. She specializes in magic-based therapies against all spiritual and other diseases which she treats accordingly as well as treating Tsukuyomi's disease. In response to the question of what species she is, she answers with "I chose to stop being human." When she first appears, she is traveling with Tsukuyomi searching for Byakki (who had been stolen from their custody). She helps Kūgen stop Momiji Miyabe when she controls numerous people she had bitten.

Miyako Takagami (高上 美夜子, Takagami Miyako)

Voiced by: Yui Horie

Miyako is Tōru's and Noboru's mother, who died shortly after Tōru's birth. She had a friendship with Kūgen, and adores cute things, including animal mascots. Early in the series, Ebisu informs Kūgen that her spirit had not yet passed on, which leads her to do a Soul Ascension, both for Miyako to pass on, and for Tōru to meet her.

Haruki Takagami (高上 春樹, Takagami Haruki)

Voiced by: Mitsuru Miyamoto

Haruki is Tōru's and Noboru's father. He has been raising his sons since Miyako's death. He has an amazing tolerance for the mystical.

Ebisu (恵比寿)

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono

Ebisu is the local deity of the area where the Takagami brothers live. Ebisu is the "god of commerce". He runs a convenience store close to his shrine where he has two stone imperial guardian lions named Kōga and Eiga, which he can bring to life. He is a real god unlike a yōkai like Kūgen Tenko, so he is able to overpower Kūgen without trying too much especially by using kotodama, since he is the most powerful while in his territory. He appears jovial and friendly, but is extremely sharp, sly, and sometimes harsh. He keeps note of any new yōkai that enter his domain.

Enjyu (槐, Enju)

Voiced by: Yū Asakawa

Enjyu is an oni with orange hair, usually done up with two buns covering her horns. She is the leader of the local group of oni that runs a church. She desires Byakki as whoever is imprinted by her will be recognized as the king of the oni. She is very kind and cares about all of her people; she would not kill Tōru despite him being the one currently imprinted by Byakki. She and the other oni have a love for the internet and online shopping, having paid for Byakki's delivery and obtained various other powerful items that way.

Byakki "Shiro-chan" (シロ, Shiro)

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya

Byakki is a White Oni (the only one of her kind). Unlike other oni, she does not have horns, and her entire appearance is white. Her skin and hair are both naturally white, and she only wears white (though she is not seen dressed in anything but wraps that seal her powers most of the time). The other non-white feature she has is her eyes, which are a deep red. Byakki has extreme offensive prowess at the cost of virtually no defensive capabilities. Along with her offensive abilities, she feeds off of the forces of other beings, absorbing from them with no more than a momentary contact with her hand or even her clothing; the amount she drains varies, usually just leaving the being affected weakened but can cause them to collapse for several days if she takes a large amount. She was given the name Shiro by Tōru when he first met her, since no one there knew her real name.

Gyokuyou Tenko (天狐玉曜)

Male Voiced by: Wataru Hatano

Female Voiced by: Mikako Takahashi

Gyokuyou is a silver fox deity who is the half-brother/sister of Kūgen (it has not been clearly stated which, though female appears the most likely). Unlike Kūgen, Gyokuyou does not prefer to live with humans, largely due to Kūgen's sealing. Gyokuyou was given the nickname "Tama" by Tōru when they first met.

Mubyou (六瓢)

Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi

Mubyou is the "God of Vagabonds" of a nearby land that protects the Sakasaen, as well as several other lands. She travels between each of them, residing in each for a year before moving on to the next. She wears a mask resembling an owl, but most people see it as that of a tanuki. Because she cannot watch one area constantly, she has a duplicate puppet of herself watch the lands she is not in.

Mubyou (duplicate puppet)

Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi

Mubyou has a puppet that appears like herself and fills in for her while she travels between the lands she watches. Her two sock puppets, which also act as her hands, take the form of a guardian wolf beast and a guardian sheep beast. After they were destroyed, as well as herself getting injured, Mubyou repaired her, as well as giving her new, human-style hands. Because of her desire to be complimented and cared for by Mubyou, she threatened Tōru and tried to get Mubyou and Kūgen to fight to the death. When her plans failed, resulting in herself being temporarily consumed in flames, she cries, telling Mubyou why she did it all, and apologizes. Afterwards, she continues to watch the land in Mubyou's absence and helps the other characters.

Momiji Miyabe (宮部 紅葉, Miyabe Momiji)

Voiced by: Shizuka Itou

Momiji Miyabe is a purple-haired student at Akagi High School (which Noboru goes to) where she is the school diva. Her family is the benefactors of the Department of Custody. She has been living alone since her parents are both gone as her father Jyuzou works away from home, which leads Momiji to eventually try to attack the Takagami brothers, hoping she could get her father worried and come home. Momiji has a tendency to flirt with Noboru after developing a liking for him. Momiji is actually a Golden Werewolf who can temporarily turn others into werewolves that she controls by biting them. Her victims can be cured by the effects by a specialized injection that is either the same or similar to the one that suppresses Momiji's own powers, which her back to her human form. When Kūgen defeats Momiji, Bekira arrives and throws a special injection needle at her. Noboru and Kiyomaro tell Momiji that her father still cares for her despite being away and not to be angry with him.
