- 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 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.
