Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Garyū Inugami-ryū===
The personal style of Kotarou Inugami: a mix of martial arts, Ninjutsu, and his powers as an Inugami (Dog Spirits) User.
*Kuuga (空牙, Vacuum Fang): A long-distance attack used by Kotarou against Wilhelm. The attack shoots a blast of ki from a distance in the form of a fang.
*Kuon Bakusaiken (狗音爆砕拳, Howling Burst Knuckle): Kotarou focuses a massive amount of his dog spirits into his hand to release a highly destructive burst-like punch. This technique is able to rival Negi's Oukahouken and Raika Houken.
*Rouga Soushouda (狼牙双掌打, Black Wolf Fangs Dual Palm Attack): A dual-palmed ki blast at close range, further powered by his dog spirits.
* Shikkuu Kokurouga (疾空黒狼牙, Black Wolf Rapid Air Fang): Kotarou fires a large amount of strong dog spiirts off at high speed to attack his enemies.
===Hanyo heritage===
Kotarou can transform parts of his part into beast form. He usually does this for his hands to increase their power. He can also transform into a normal dog.
*Kuzoku Juuka (犬族獣化, Dog Tribe Beast Transformation): In this form, he invokes his beast powers. Though still looking human he gains a beast like an appearance. All of his abilities are greatly increased while in this form.
*Kuon Eisou (狗音影装, Howling Shadow Cloth): A secret technique among his Garyū Inugami-ryū and is also his strongest form, where he transforms into a black dog that has a glowing symbol on his forehead. In this form, Kotarou gains enhanced strength and is able to travel as a shadow, as well as firing exploding shadow spheres from his mouth.
===Other techniques===
Besides his fighting skills, Kotarou also has some ability to manipulate chi as part of his combat style rather than using magic to fight from a distance.
*Shundō (瞬動; Instant Movement): By focusing ki or mana into the feet, the practitioner can cross distances in a burst of extreme speed (enough to appear almost instantaneous). However, unlike true teleportation, the movement itself can be intercepted, and the exit point calculated; once began, the technique cannot be stopped. It must also be performed on some sort of foothold or surface.
**Kokū Shundō (虚空瞬動; Void Instant Movement): Instead of using a fixed surface, the practitioner simply uses air as a foothold. As this can be performed in mid-air, movement in any direction is possible, eliminating the base weaknesses of Shundō.
*Kage Bunshin (影分身, Shadow Clone): This technique allows Kotaro to split into multiple shadow clones. These clones can act independently of her, and all have almost the same density, mass and strength as his real body.
*Shikigami: Kotarou is also skilled in using shikigami and paper charms, being able to create monsters when he first fought Negi and Asuna.
