Zero is Yuuki's childhood friend and student at Cross Academy. He is also a Guardian and likewise on the disciplinary committee. Zero has been living with Yuuki and Headmaster Cross, as the headmaster is his legal guardian. His family, a linear of vampire hunters, was murdered by a pureblood vampire when he was young. He harbors a deep hatred for vampires and claims to have taken on the role of Guardian to learn to hunt them better.
In truth, Zero is a vampire that was once human. He was bitten by the pureblood vampire, Shizuka Hio, during the attack on his family. He kept the secret that he was a vampire from Yuuki until he was no longer capable of controlling his vampiric urges. Zero's body rejects the blood tablets that most vampires take to control their hunger. Drinking Yuuki's blood helps him maintain his sanity, but he is destined to become a Level E vampire eventually. He has started to accept his feelings towards Yuuki and has gone as far as to almost kiss her. Zero's weapon is the gun "Bloody Rose," given to him by Headmaster Cross. He made Yuuki promise that if he becomes a Level E vampire, she will kill him with that gun.
Zero's twin brother, Ichiru, arrives at Cross Academy, with Shizuka Hio, in order to seek more power against Rido Kuran. It is later shown that Ichiru was involved in the planned attack against the Kiryuu Family. Despite learning this and his conflicting feelings toward Ichiru, he still loves his little brother.
