Koyomi Araragi

Koyomi Araragi, also known as Koyokoyo and Koyomin, is the main protagonist from the Monogatari Series series.
== Charactah Account ==
Koyomi is a third year high school student who survived a vampire attack during spring break and barely regained his human life in the time that followed as a boy with remnants of vampiric traits. He can see in the dark, his eyes turn red when he gets angry, and he heals incredibly fast. As a result, he questions his lifespan. He remains scared of morning sunlight despite the fact that it no longer has any negative effects on him.
Koyomi is a laid-back person whose only real friend at school is Tsubasa Hanekawa. He's a poor student, close to failing every class except math. Other characters seems to speculate that Koyomi is a lolicon, particularly Mayoi and Hitagi, with Hitagi thinking that Nadeko is a "threat" to her.
He is very noble, which is why Hitagi is attracted to him. He is willing to help others at the cost of his own life. As such, the female characters he has helped are quite attached to him. He feels most comfortable talking to Mayoi, Shinobu and, from the Second Season on, to Yotsugi about his problems. Koyomi is the only person who thinks that his family relationship is bad, with Karen and Tsukihi thinking otherwise. His parents were revealed to be police officers.

== Trivia ==
* While Koyomi is not depicted in the light novels' illustrations, he was still designed by VOFAN. It was previously believed that Akio Watanabe, who supervises the character designs for the anime series, was responsible for his design, but VOFAN later corrected this on Twitter by showing his illustration that predated the anime series.
* The kanji for his given name (koyomi) means calendar. Likely to reference the wordplay, the Koyomimonogatari app that distributed the anime adaptation of the same name features calendars.
* While there is no direct or canonical narrative reason for his hair being slightly different in Kizumonogatari, it could likely be meant to represent his difference in personality in the story. Theoretically, he could have started covering his left eye instead of his right after the events of Koyomi Vamp had changed him.
* It seems he still has vampire fangs although it's not shown much. The fangs are visible in Episode 1 of Bakemonogatari when he's about to pull a staple from his mouth.
* Later in the series when the two come to terms with each other, Shinobu Oshino commonly refers to him as "Omae-sama," meaning "you" with the -sama suffix used for extreme formality. In old Japanese when she first visited Japan, the word "omae" was formal, but it now is considered rude, making Omae-sama sound somewhat ironic, likely past her intentions.
* Koyomi has a fetish for short-haired girls; a fact that caused Tsubasa and Hitagi to change their hairstyles during summer vacation. While likely not necessarily related to his fetish, almost all heroine characters besides Mayoi are also depicted with short hair at some point in the series. The change in hair style is typically used as means to display change and or growth in their character.
* In early 2016, Koyomi won the second annual best guy voting contest on the subreddit r/anime.
