An eighteen year old young man in the employment of the city. He is the director of the Hiizumi Life Counseling Office and the only human who works there. He is able to perform "tuning"; an ability that can send back youkai to their world and cut off their connection to the human world. This ability can only be used by his family; The one who succeeds this ability is called oyakume. His hair grows longer whenever he uses his ability. Because of this ability, some of the youkai view the oyakume as murderers. In the manga, Akina reveals that he can use the ability in chapter eight, whereas in the anime, he is able to use "tuning" from the very start.

Hime Yarizakura (槍桜 ヒメ, Yarizakura Hime)
Voiced by: Misato Fukuen

A sixteen year old high school girl with supernatural powers. In the manga she assumed the role of mayor of the city when she was a child after her grandmother was "tuned" by Akina's grandfather; in the anime however, her grandmother simply passed away. She treasures her long scarf which was made by Akina. Her scarf was made to cover up her scar on her neck which was made by Yae Shinatsuhiko to seal most of Hime's youkai power. In the manga, all of the townspeople including her friends had their memory of Hime being a youkai sealed because when she was a child, she asked Yae to seal the memory so she can have a better perspective from a human's point of view and a youkai's point of view. In chapter thirteen however, everyone memory of her being a youkai have returned when a group who is running against Hime's little cousin, Kohime, was running as mayor in another town, wanted her to drop out of the election and Hime to give her position to their leader by threating them with a barrier that weakens all the youkai to a point that can be life threatening and because of that Yae had no choice but to weaken the barrier that they made which in turn return everyone's memory. However in the anime, it did not show this and everyone knew that Hime is a dragon descendant and that she is a youkai. Hime happens to be a glutton and loves to eat noodles especially those cooked by Akina. She is also quite sensitive about her weight; She trains using the teachings her grandmother taught her and patrols the town everyday. She uses her grandmother's teachings in the hopes that she will become a great mayor like her grandmother once was. She may appear harsh at times, but she has a kind heart. In the manga she uses a Lacrosse racket as her weapon, while in the anime she uses a contractible spear. She has a deep friendship with Akina and Gin.

Ao Nanami (七海 アオ, Nanami Ao)
Voiced by: Saki Fujita

A fifteen year old female Satori who helps run the office and is the announcer of the town as well. She has cat ears, which she usually hides with a hat or headphones, and has the ability to read people's thoughts. She can talk to animals using this ability as well. She has a stronger version called "Satellite" which can read the thoughts of everyone in the city at once, though this drains a lot of her energy. In the manga, she happens to be a glutton like Hime but doesn't indulge very often. She has an elder brother named Gin, who went missing before the series started.

Kotoha Isone (五十音 ことは, Isone Kotoha)
Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro

A sixteen year old high school student who was once a human before she was possessed by a youkai at a very young age. Because of that event she became a Hanyou, half youkai and half human. She is a Language-user (Kotodama tsukai) who can summon things when she emphasizes words. She can conjure up weapons or objects by saying one word, however there are certain objects where she needs to use a lengthy spell in order to conjure it up. She is also a gun nut which is shown in the first chapter of the manga. She once went on a vacation to Germany just to visit the Koblenz Museum of Military Technology, because of the tanks and weapons which were on display there. She is also known to be a great singer by her friends. In the manga, it is mentioned that she is only interested in girls, which is noticeable in chapter ten, when all the other characters except Gin attend the party. Even though she wears glasses, she has said they are just for decoration. When she's mad, she tends to go a bit overboard in her fights. One example of this is when Hime made Kotoha become her training partner and during the training, accidentally destroys her plane ticket to Germany. At this, Kotoha conjures up an Acht, a German army's FLAK 36.88 mm cannon, and fires at Hime. After her friends stop her from using the Acht, she noticed the damage she did and apologized for what she did. It is also of note that if she overuses her power, she can lose her voice for awhile.

Enjin Hiizumi (比泉 円神, Hiizumi Enjin)
Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki

The main antagonist. A youkai who is determined to destroy the barrier protecting the city for unknown reasons. Later it is revealed that he has no physical body and is, in fact, possessing the body of Gin who happens to be Ao's older brother, a wolf-youkai who was best friends with Hime and Akina. When Akina first met Enjin in the anime, he hesitates about using tuning on him because he knew that if he were to use the tuning ability not only will he send Enjin, but he will send Gin's body as well as Gin's spirit, which still lives in his body, to the youkai world.

Kyōsuke (岸 恭助, Kishi Kyōsuke)
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono

An eighteen year old man who is an assistant to Hime Yarizakura. He is an oni with superhuman strength, but wears a seal that looks like a bracelet around his left wrist. He appears to be harsh towards Akina sometimes because in the anime, as he believes that Akina's power is not required to protect the town. In the manga, he believes that the youkai in the human world are suffering because Akina did not succeed as oyakume. Akina makes fun of him by saying that Kyōsuke has a sister complex, which usually ends up with the two fighting.

Tōka Kishi (岸 桃華, Kishi Tōka)

A sixteen year old high school student who is Kyōsuke's little sister. She is also an employee of Hiizumi Life Counseling. Just like her brother, she is a youkai with superhuman strength.

In the anime, she appears to have better control over her strength.

Rin Azuma (東 鈴, Azuma Rin)
Voiced by: Ai Matayoshi

A fifteen year old Jiang Shi who recently moved to the city. Due to being constantly bullied by her human classmates during childhood, she loathed humans until being saved by Akina.

Taisuke meets Yuta when Yuta tried to force Ryou to stay with him as she had an uncanny resemblance to his deceased mother. After Taisuke saves Yuta from killing himself, he soon joins up with Taisuke to help him look for his friends. His power is isolation where he can hold an object inside a small space which from the outside, seems invisible. He can cut off all signals and air supply in this small space and kill a living creature by suffocation.

Nami Kusunoki
Nami has the power to freeze water to form any shape she choses. Her younger brother, Satoru, was killed by Kanon after he accidentally bumped into her. He was burned to death before Nami's eyes. She seems to be an expert fighter with a grudge against Yuta and Kanou. Satoru's death has made her hate people with powers. She accompanies Yuta and Kanou to find and kill the woman who killed her brother. She intends to kill them both after she finishes her quest. However, the kindness of Taisuke changes her view of all Comrades. It's also possible that she has some feelings for Taisuke as she names him as her reason for living in the second arc.

Yuichi Hirose
Yuichi Hirose (広瀬 雄一, Hirose Yūichi?) is Taisuke's best friend. He is small and timid for his age and is picked on by bullies.

He lives with last living family member, his mother. His mother soon commits suicide due to the virus and he ends up congratulating her on her death due to mind altering by a police inspector. Hirose gains the power to make anything "disappear" by creating holes. He later resents Taisuke and becomes ambitious and cruel. He seeks to destroy everyone in the world and be the only person alive on the planet. During his fight with Taisuke at the end of part 1, he was able to fuse with the "Heart of Akura" making him invulnerable to physical attacks. At the end of chapter 36 he dies after the fight with Taisuke.

Shigeki Katsumata
Inspector Katsumata is the lead investigator of Hirose's incident. At first glance he seems to be a kind person who is widely regarded but he too is one of the few who received powers. He teams up with Yura and starts recruiting other comrades. He rarely uses his powers but has used them once on Hirose to manipulate his thoughts. After his plan to control Hirose fails, he decides to retreat and capture Megumi. In the second arc, he has Megumi take care of "The Ghost" and is looking for ways to retrieve the "Heart of Akura". His powers include the ability to control other's minds and to kill with a blink of an eye.

Akuro
Appears to be the "master" of the group creating the revolution. He seems to be in two pieces, his heart "the heart of Akuro" is in Hokkaido and his "will" is in the body of an owl which is his own "comrade".

they are Mikoto Yutaka and Yuujiro Shihoudani.

Toru is convinced into becoming a Princess soon after entering the school though once he accepted the job, he found it to be much more enjoyable than he thought.

Characters :

Princesses
Toru Kouno (河野 亨, Kōno Tōru)

He is the primary protagonist of the story who transfers to an all-boys school and becomes one of the Princesses. He seems enthusiastic about it since all the Princesses get a lot of free stuff and added luxuries. His parents died in an accident, which is when his uncle and aunt adopted him. He seems to be very reluctant about spending time with his family, which mainly has to do with his younger step-sister Sayaka. He mainly uses his job as a Princess as a distraction from the problems he has with his family and in effect usually gets very in to acting like a Princess, much like Yuujiro. He often teams up with Yuujiro to tease Mikoto, much to Mikoto's chagrin.

Yuujiro Shihoudani (四方谷 裕史郎, Shihōdani Yuujirō)

The Western Princess, he is a confident boy and doesn't have many problems with dressing up like a girl in front of other people. He constantly likes to tease Mikoto because he thinks it's fun how Mikoto reacts. He has distanced himself from the rest of his family because he thinks that his mother, step-father, and younger half-brother together are the "perfect family". He and Toru often team up against Mikoto when Mikoto is at odds with them concerning Princess duties. This gets Mikoto to end up agreeing with them, especially since they hold leverage over Mikoto who doesn't want his girlfriend to find out about him being a Princess. He sometimes teases Toru about them being lovers and how Toru is "saying things only lovers would say to each other." To add to this through out the manga and anime there is an air of unresolved tension between the two, and they have been know to blush in each others presence.

Mikoto Yutaka (豊 実琴, Yutaka Mikoto)


The Eastern Princess, he is more reluctant than the other two Princesses to crossdress because he has a girlfriend named Megumi who he doesn't want to find out about it. As such he is nonetheless a reliable character—he often stubbornly whines and complains on things the Princesses have to do but always ends up doing them anyway whether he's forced to do them or not. He is very self-conscious about being a Princess and is mortified whenever someone else outside of school finds out about it. He is the most animated of the three Princesses, always showing a lot of emotion and expression when yelling at Toru and Yuujiro. Mikoto is also tone deaf, having never sung before becoming a princess.

He also cares a lot about the people close to him, though especially for his girlfriend. He has shown to change character and act different when around Megumi, which greatly amuses Toru and Yuujiro. Despite all the whining and complaining, however, he eventually becomes accustomed to his duty as a Princess such that he once had a brief fantasy of him and Megumi both dressed in Gothic Lolita Princess costumes. Princess Princess is not the first media series Mikoto has appeared in. Mikoto's first appearance was as a supporting character from one of Tsuda's earlier manga works, The Day of Revolution, which was about Mikoto's girlfriend, Megumi.


Student council
Shuya Arisada (有定 修也, Arisada Shūya)

The student council president, he is a very confident person who was also a former Princess one year prior to the beginning of the story. He is a very good leader and often comes up with fool-proof plans which benefit him and the rest of the student council. He can also be very intimidating to talk with and in effect people often go along with his plans regardless. He was a Princess in his first year.

Masayuki Koshino (越廼 将行, Koshino Masayuki)

The student council vice president who is very physically strong.

Wataru Harue (春江 渉, Harue Wataru)

The student council treasurer, who is very good with math and can solve equations in his head quickly.

Takahiro Tadasu (糺 孝弘, Tadasu Takahiro)

The student council secretary, who has the impressive ability of speed and sleight of hand.

Other characters
Akira Sakamoto (坂本 秋良, Sakamoto Akira)
The class president in Toru's class (1-D), he is a highly respected member of the school: due to his much-revered older brother and his own excellence in both academic performance and character, he is referred to as "Sakamoto-sama" by his peers regardless of their seniorities, and all students bow when they see him, though he feels somewhat intimidated by such reverence. For pretty much the same reasons, he has been hand-picked by Arisada as the next in line for the student council president and has on quite a number of occasions shown great leadership skills.

He has five immediate family members, all of whom are amazingly beautiful (and, in his sisters' case, androgynous as well). In the past, Akira had often been pointed out as the only "average" looking person in his family by both himself and strangers. For a while, Akira felt out of place or "unworthy" of belonging to his family. When his family found out about his worries, they quickly reassured him and dismissed such ideas. His siblings (especially his older brother and older sister) usually fight for his attention, since their brother is such a kind-hearted and good-natured boy. Akira and his family are the main characters of one of Tsuda's earlier manga works, Family Complex.

Kaoru Natasho (名田 庄薫, Natashō Kaoru)
A third-year student majoring in home economics, he designs all of the clothes that the Princesses wear. He's fairly obsessed about this and always shows a lot of enthusiasm about it. However, he holds a lot of fashion awards for all the costumes he's designed and made himself. When it comes to the Princesses, he's easily struck by inspiration for new costumes.

Harumi Sakamoto (坂本 春海, Sakamoto Harumi)
He's Akira's older brother and a former student at Fujimori who was known by all who knew him as "Sakamoto-sama" because of his amazing beauty. He comes back during the cultural festival to help the student council raise money. Harumi is usually very cool and smiles constantly. However, in the presence of his younger brother, he becomes completely emotional and is easily moved to tears (something which Toru and Yuujiro accidentally notice when visiting Akira, as seen in a manga filler chapter).

Megumi Yoshikawa (吉川 恵, Yoshikawa Megumi)
Known as Megumi-san by Mikoto due to her being older than him, she is Mikoto's girlfriend. She has a caring heart and would do things asked of her by Mikoto so as not to upset him. Also, she is not entirely sure of Mikoto's feelings towards her and once even suspected something was going on between Mikoto and the other two Princesses. Megumi and Mikoto seem to have a very good, understanding relationship between them. For instance, even when Megumi finds out Mikoto is a Princess, she says she doesn't care and Mikoto's the same person she loves either way.

She has a very prominent effect on Mikoto's personality, being able to elevate his spirits when he's feeling depressed. Similarly, when around Mikoto she is very happy and it's obvious that they enjoy each other's company. As noted by Mikoto in episode five of the anime, Megumi does not seem to like using makeup because she thinks it's cuter. Mikoto seems to have no complaints over this as he thinks she's cute regardless. Megumi is the main character of Tsuda's earlier series, The Day of Revolution, with Makoto and Mikoto as supporting characters.

Makoto Yutaka (豊 麻琴, Yutaka Makoto)
She is Mikoto's older sister and has a different personality when compared to her brother. She is very forceful and never seems to back down, especially when the scenario involves Mikoto. Ironically, while Mikoto looks more feminine in appearance, Makoto looks more masculine

Sayaka Kouno (河野 さやか, Kōno Sayaka)
The daughter of Toru's aunt and uncle that adopted him, making her Toru's younger step-sister and cousin. She is in love with Toru and is very adamant (to the point of psychosis) about them getting married one day, against the wishes of Toru himself (as his feelings for her never evolved beyond that for a sister).She is overly obsessive with him and has hurt one of Toru's previous girlfriends with a razor blade out of jealously. Her fragile grip on reality was wounded by Yuujiro's claim that he and Toru are lovers- and that Toru is not interested in girls because of this. In vol.4 of the manga, Sayaka is encountered again by Yuujiro and Toru when they are out shopping, leading to Sayaka apologising, then declairing that in her mind only Yuujiro is worthy of dating Toru and he'd better hurry up and make her "brother" his.

Shinnosuke Shihoudani (四方谷 慎之介, Shihōdani Shin'nosuke)
He is Yuujiro's younger half-brother who appears in episode nine of the anime and vol. 5 of the manga where he had come with his parents to see his brother at the school festival. He tends to be very shy and at first is especially reluctant to talk with Yuujiro. He has claimed that he wants Yuujiro home more often so he can marry "sister" (Yuujiro in his princess costume).

Ryusaki
The director of the board who is in charge of the school. He became the director after his father retired. At first, he disapproved of the Princess system and sought to abolish it. Ryusaki only appears in the anime, and greatly resembles Mitaka in appearance and personality.

Toui C. Mitaka
A transfer student who first appears in volume four of the manga. Upon returning from studies abroad and transferring to Fujimori, Mitaka learns of the student council elections and decides to run against Akira. At first he has a very low opinion of Akira, thinking of him as dull and not a worthy opponent, which causes Yuujiro and Toru to dislike him immensely. He eventually warms up to Akira, and by the end of the manga series he is so devoted to him that he is never more than a few feet away from him. Mitaka does appear in the anime in episode twelve.
