Characters
Twin Star Exorcists The are a couple of exorcists destined to be the parents of the "Miko", the reincarnation of Abe no Seimei and the ultimate exorcist, who is said to be capable of cleansing every kind of evil spirit. The Twin Star Exorcists also have a special ability called "Resonance", which allows them to combine their powers to increase the strength of their attacks or access abilities that no other exorcists possess. It is also revealed that the Twin Stars are not proper exorcists, but rather "Vessels" created by Abe no Seimei and Ashiya Dōman. They do not have guardian spirits; rather, their powers come from the world around them. The Male Twin Star <Sol>, created by Seimei (in this case, Rokuro), is a vessel for Yang energy, and the Female Twin Star <Luna>, created by Dōman (in this case, Benio), is a vessel for Yin energy. Both energies normally act as opposites, but it is only through a fusion of both powers that the Miko <Taiji> is born. The Miko is not a reincarnation of any spirit, but rather an embodiment of the two powers in one form.
The main protagonist. A brash and headstrong 14-year-old exorcist who was once motivated to become the strongest and cleanse all Kegare and sins. Rokuro was found by Seigen in Magano when he was 6 years old and had no memory of his past, after which Ryougo took him in. In the manga, he grew up in a valley of Basara before being found and taken in by humans. However, Yuuto Ijika caused a tragedy at the Hiinatsuki Dormitory that forced Rokuro to take the lives of his friends who had been forcibly corrupted. Following this, his right arm was also corrupted and became part Impurity, gaining great offensive power. This tragedy made him nearly abandon exorcism until he met Benio, who inspired him to fight as an exorcist again. Despite not liking the idea of being her groom at first, he later develops feelings for her. During the time skip, Rokuro advances his studies and training, making him popular in high school. Rokuro becomes the head of the former Adashino House on Tsuchimikado Island. At the climax of the Kegare's escape to the surface, Rokuro and Benio are reunited after a long separation. Benio's fate as an Impurity doesn't change Rokuro's feelings for her. The pair live peacefully on the island for four years. Rokuro soon obtains a fragment of Yuuto's yang energy that partially awakens his own transformation. After persuading the islanders to overlook Benio's misconduct, she and Rokuro officially get married. When Benio could not keep her promise, Rokuro lost hope and fully transformed into the <Sol>. After receiving encouragement from Seigen, Rokuro sets out into Magano to locate his wife and forms a party with the redeemed Kamui and Suzu. While rediscovering his childhood home, Rokuro unknowingly kills Sutara, the Basara who raised him out of pity. Sutara's wife, Asuha, accepts Rokuro's generosity despite their differences. Rokuro is a descendant of Abe no Seimei. Once Benio is freed from her madness and King Kegare is temporarily suspended, she and Rokuro are taken into a time-accelerating dome to conceive the prophesied child, Hikaru. After sealing themselves to suppress King Kegare, he and Benio do not see their son again until Hikaru performs a reunion spell so they can embrace. In the manga, it is eventually revealed that the Twin Stars are not truly human, and Rokuro is a vessel for Yang energy. He was created by Abe no Seimei, her son, so it appears as though his guardian spirit is Seimei, but in reality, neither he nor Benio has a guardian spirit. In the anime, he is actually the Hajo-ó (Cataclysm King or Star Destroyer King), an extremely powerful Impurity created by Abe no Seimei that is destined to wipe out humanity if it becomes a threat to the world.
The main heroine, a serious 14-year-old girl, she vowed to become the strongest exorcist and destroy all Kegare to avenge her parents, who died protecting her. She wears a fox mask in battle. Upon meeting Rokuro, she inspires him to return to being an exorcist and, despite not agreeing with the idea of becoming his bride, she secretly admires him for his tenacity, calling it is his sole redeeming quality. Benio has a preference for ohagi. She admires her brother Yuuto until she learns his true nature. She loses both of her legs in the battle against Yuuto, but in the process she receives Impurity legs as replacements from Kamui (like Rokuro's arm), increasing her speed and ability to fight beside Rokuro. After the time skip, both seem to have become even closer, with Benio silently noting that she has fallen in love with him. When receiving Sayo's enchantment, Benio's guardian appears to be a dark entity that rivals the Basara Impurity and is revealed by Kuzunoha to be Ashiya Dōman, Abe no Seimei's archrival. She later loses her ability to exorcise and decides to stay while Rokuro leaves for Tsuchimikado Island ahead of her; before that, she confirms her love for him and kisses him for the first time. She later learns from Chinu, the first Impurity, that she has not actually lost her powers but is instead awakening her true powers—the powers of Yin—as Benio is not human but an Impurity in human form. Experiencing the oppression of past Lunas and noticing that a <Sol> was not beside them, Benio unlocks her Impurity transformation and rejoins Rokuro just in time for their rematch against Yuuto. After the second time skip, Benio gains an eyepatch similar to Yuuto's. Benio's secret is eventually exposed, and she is placed in custody. Rokuro helps her escape from custody and convinces the exorcist community to trust Benio again and accept their marriage. With Tsuchimikado Island overwhelmed by a Kegare pandemic, Benio is forced to give up her humanity to defeat the crisis; she then receives hatred from the civilians and leaves for Magano. In her futile attempt to stop Sakanashi's plot, she is overcome by negative emotions and seeks to escape her fate by destroying the mainland so that she and Rokuro can live together without the Twin Stars. A reformed embodiment of Yuuto helps Benio merge their souls to complete the true Yin transformation, siding with Rokuro to exorcise the King of Impurities. She and Rokuro experience many obstacles in King Kegare's dimension but never falter. They leave their son Hikaru behind to seal the Impurity. Ten years later, Hikaru tirelessly works to see his parents again and succeeds.
The human–impurity hybrid 10-year-old son of Rokuro and Benio. He was born in Magano and baptized as the Miko. His parents conceived him with the help of Chinu, the midwife. Hikaru surpassed all distinguished prodigies from early childhood, as he already possessed self-awareness, though he feigned ignorance of his parents' fate under the guidance of his legal guardian, Mayura, for the following seven years. He speaks in an adult manner, and his academic talents as an exorcist are overwhelmingly high despite Mayura's objections. Despite not wanting their son to follow the Miko path, Hikaru secretly coordinates with a young Basara named Mirai to formulate a powerful spell to reincarnate his mother and father. When the plans are finalized, Hikaru announces them to the exorcist community, and they proceed with them. Arriving in the Outcast Valley, Hikaru and Mirai summon the Twelve Guardian familiars to rebirth King Kegare and transform it into King Purification, thereby separating Benio and Rokuro from its body. With the remaining Basara disappearing to their newfound planet, Hikaru and the surrounding people shower the Twin Stars with smiles.
Seika Dormitory
Rokuro's friend and fellow exorcist who often acts as a surrogate older brother. During the first few chapters of the manga and the first few episodes of the anime, Ryougo continuously pesters Rokuro to become an exorcist again. He is engaged to fellow resident Haruka, whom he marries at the end of the anime.
An exorcist whose face is covered by his hair.
An exorcist with a red streak in his hair.

Twelve Guardians The Twelve Guardians, literally meaning "Heavenly Commanders", are a group of twelve elite exorcists stationed on Tsuchimikado Island, where Magano was first created, to prevent the Impurities from overrunning the mainland. Second only to Arima Tsuchimikado in power among the exorcists, each uses one of the twelve familiars of Abe no Seimei and inherits a portion of his power through that familiar. The twelve families from which they come are descended from the twelve original companions of Abe no Seimei. In the anime, they are not stationed on Tsuchimikado Island and usually perform missions across the country in pairs.
Current members
Rokuro's childhood friend and the daughter of one of the most powerful exorcists in the world. Mayura is described as having a large bust. She is forced by Yuuto to become a Fallen Impurity and then goes on a rampage before being cleansed by Rokuro and Benio. After recovering, Mayura dedicates herself to following Rokuro's path as an exorcist and asks Seigen to train her for the next two years. Initially lacking confidence, she acquires Seigen's charm, Byakko, and soon takes her father's place as head of the Amakawa House and as one of the Heavenly Commanders. She has feelings for Rokuro and initially feels envious of Benio's relationship with him and of her strength, but later becomes Benio's closest friend and decides to support their relationship instead. Mayura eventually develops a romantic interest in Shimon and forms a partnership with him. She takes responsibility for raising Hikaru, though she is annoyed by his mature manner of speaking, and remains single unless her two important friends return. In the video game, Mayura is one of the Twin Star candidates along with Benio and three other new characters.
Considered a child prodigy, Shimon has attained the rank of Heavenly Commander, despite being only two years older than Rokuro, holding the title "Suzaku". Shimon is also Seigen's former student. He possesses the ability to fly and hates vehicles. His goal is to end the 1,000-year war and relieve Sayo of her heavy burden so that she can live a long and free life. While he initially looked down on Rokuro and company, after they saved Sayo from two Basaras, he came to see them in a new light and with newfound respect, stating that he looks forward to the day they will fight together. Shimon aims to surpass Tenma due to their childhood rivalry. When Tenma used a prohibited enchantment that severed Shimon's leg during the Exorcist Games, he believed that his days as an exorcist were over. He later received a prosthetic replacement and proved to Tenma that fate was not predetermined.
She is an exorcist who holds the title "Tenkō" and is Benio's former master. Subaru appears to be a young woman with long blonde hair who wears a white hat and a white dress. She is somewhat eccentric. Like Arima, she intends to improve the Twin Stars' marital relationship and arranges for them to spend time together. She unleashes talismans from her fan deck, which form into numerous weapons, including guns. In the manga, after a match with Mayura in the Exorcist Games, Subaru takes Mayura as her new apprentice. It is later revealed that Subaru is fond of Gaja, and their relationship eventually develops into a forbidden romance that leads to their demise in a battle in Magano. Their final scene together depicts them sharing a dream of starting a family.
