Soma

**Yasutada Soma** (相馬靖忠, *Sōma Yasutada*) is a character in the *Demichan wa* *Kataritai* series.

## History

An eccentric college friend of Tetsuo's whose expression virtually never changes, Soma specializes in hyperspace theory, and is the one to suggest that Machi's neck is actually in another dimension, acting as a wormhole between her head and body.

Tetsuo calls him in when his niece reports being haunted by a demi. Unlike Tetsuo, who thought she was simply messing with them, Soma reminded his old friend about perception; they only see her, due to the demi's ability making them observe another dimension from the one haunted.

## Etymology

* The name **Soma** means "phase, aspect, countenance" (相) (**so**) and "horse" (馬) (**ma**). 相馬
Yuki Kusakabe

**Yuki Kusakabe** (日下部 雪, *Kusakabe Yuki*) is a deuteragonist in *Demi-chan wa Kataritai*.

She is a Yuki Onna (Snow Woman) by nature, resulting in her ability to lower the ambient temperature, which is most apparent when she is experiencing strong negative emotions.

## Appearance

Yuki resembles a Snow Woman, like fair white skin, short turquoise hair. Her body is colder than a normal human, she also has gold colored eyes which produce icy tears if caused by a negative feeling, same with the feet but produces cold air. She feels weak in an hot area that can cause her to Faint. She has very few sweat glands causing her to sweat rarely.

## Personality

Yuki is a kind, shy, timid and loving young woman with a quiet taste for the crude and silly, but she gets along very well with any that open up to her.

Despite the rather unpleasant folklore attached to her species, she is not malevolent in any shape or form; instead she is shy and very considerate. In fact, she is constantly worried if her physiology may hurt others, with little to no ability to directly control it. In reality however, the extent of her "powers" is limited to an ability to solidify her own tears and sweat, and creating a small localized area with slightly below average temperature, posing no danger to those around her.

She holds a likening for Tetsuo Takahashi as he demonstrates genuine concern for her and helps her in realizing her genuinely harmless nature, something that had been the source of a socially-crippling fear of hers; that she might flash-freeze and kill anyone she became emotionally attached to, as per the legends of her kind.

Hikari Takanashi becomes interested into her due to her skin being cold (the vampire naturally finds high levels of heat to be uncomfortable), and often clings to her. Yuki tries to avoid her at first, but after realizing her demi-traits are harmless, she is okay with it, even letting Hikari nibble her shoulder through her clothes.

Tetsuo also noted that Hikari has a kind of “attraction” to Yuki, as she sublimates the lack of a romantic experience with the guys and the fear of them in the “safe” desire to drink Yuki's blood.

## Etymology

* The name **Yuki** means "snow" (雪).
* Yuki's surname **Kusakabe** means "sun, day" (日) (**kusa**), "under, below" (下) (**ka**) and "part, department, category" (部) (**be**).

## Trivia

* Yuki gives off a cold aura when she's feeling despair or embarrassment.
* Yuki is the only character who's part in the opening titles is changed; after the episode where she learns about her harmless abilities, her portion changes from a sad look to joyfully waving, which causes her background to change to spring to symbolize her new cheeriness.
* Yuki's love of manga embarrasses her.
* Overexertion causes Yuki to overheat and faint.

It began shortly after she moved to a new city to start high school, when she was taking a bath one day and a shard of ice suddenly appeared in the hot water.

Hikari Takanashi

**Hikari Takanashi** (小鳥遊 ひかり, *Takanashi Hikari*) is a main character in *Demi-chan wa Kataritai*.

## Appearance

Hikari has shoulder-length blonde hair that resembles bat ears with bangs swept to the right side and gold eyes.

## Personality

A vampire by nature, Hikari requires blood to sustain her biological well-being. However, unlike common depiction of Vampires, she is a very active, cheerful and full-spirited girl who is more than capable of eating garlic.

She also refrains from biting others' necks (though she does have fantasies about doing so, but doesn't due to her unwavering kindness.) Instead, she takes sustenance from government-issued blood packets.

Since hunger is associated with sexual desire for vampires, she cannot drink the blood of boys, as this embarrasses her. For this reason, Hikari can sublimate the lack of a romantic experience with guys into increased desire to drink the blood of her friends, especially Yuki. It also leads to the fact that the forces of Satou don't excite her as a girl, but causes severe overeating and drunkenness.

Being a demi-human living with a normal human sister as well as human dominant society, she keeps a highly optimistic outlook of the future and a somewhat aloof image, often helping other demi-humans in gaining more confident perspective of themselves in dire times.

Ironically, she doesn't like bright lights all too much despite her name literally translating to Light. She never wishes to put her classmates in a darkened room just for her convience.

Quirky, cute, confident, kind, and caring, she can quickly become the center of attention but nevertheless puts others' well-being first in her own ways. She tends to wear clothes, accessories and other objects with bat motifs related to her status as a vampire.

## Etymology

* If written, the name **Hikari** means "light" (光) in Japanese, which is a double play on words because not only do vampires suffer from light, but also because her personality is cheery, happy and bright.
* Hikari's surname **Takanashi** means "little bird, small bird" (小鳥) (**taka**) and "play" (遊) (**nashi**).

## Trivia

* Hikari likes liver and tomato juice.
* Hikari gets supplied with blood packs once a month.
* Hikari has no experience with love, but she has lots of knowledge.
* Hikari actually wears UV blocking tights when she wears skirts.
* Hikari NEEDS blood ingested on some occasions, otherwise her predatory instinct will eventually make her attack someone for blood.

## History

A detective who works for the Demi-Human Crimes Division, he actually finds himself rarely dealing with cases involving demis in recent history compared to how things used to be, which he attributes to society becoming more open-minded and accepting of differences. The exception to this is the necessity of his work involving demis with innate abilities that can influence the volition of others harmfully. Specifically, succubi and incubi. This part of his profession seems to cause him a certain amount of distress; he cites his work as essentially needing to constantly interrogate them over a crime they may or may not even do, and worse as having to browbeat succubi or incubi who are victims of actual sexual harassment over whether or not they were "asking for it."

## Relationships

### Sakie Satou

He's known her since childhood  that the two have an almost father-daughter relationship with Sakie at one point remarking Ugaki has done more for her than her actual father ever did.

After realizing that Tetsuo Takahashi is the man who has Sakie's affection, Ugaki offers her encouragement and advice on approaching Tetsuo, though with limited results. This is not due to any shortcomings in Ugaki's advice as much as it is because of Tetsuo's politeness and understanding nature.

## Etymology

* The surname **Ugaki** means "eaves, roof, house, heaven" (宇) (**u**) and "fence" (垣) (**kaki**/**gaki**).

Himari Takanashi

**Himari Takanashi** (小鳥遊 ひまり, *Takanashi Himari*) is a deuteragonist in *Demi-chan wa Kataritai*.

She is Hikari Takanashi's twin sister who is a normal human girl.

## Appearance

Himari has red hair tied in twin tails which flow over her shoulders. She has gold eyes like her sister, but slightly darker.

## Personality

Not too dissimilar to Himari's vampiric sister, she is as kindhearted as her twin, but she is much more serious. She constantly looks over her twin sister and hopes to make the her more mature, to which she somewhat admits is a rather futile attempt.

## Relationships

### Hikari Takanashi

Himari has a good relationship with her sister that she often allows Hikari to nibble on her to sate Hikari's need to bite something.

## Etymology

* Himari's surname **Takanashi** means "little bird, small bird" (小鳥) (**taka**) and "play" (遊) (**nashi**).

## Trivia

* Though Himari flusters at the comment of her hair being an unnatural color, it's unlikely she dyes her hair, given her personality. Himari, however, does not have brown hair like her parents, suggesting its either a dormant trait from one her parents' families, or a side-effect of being a demi's twin.

Kyoko Machi

**Kyoko Machi** (町 京子, *Machi Kyōko*) is a main character in *Demi-chan wa Kataritai* series. She is a shy Dullahan who always has her head detached from her body.

## Appearance

Machi is a Dullahan, meaning her head is separate from her body. Due to this, she lacks having any neck, instead having a non-warm green flame in its place; her head also has no neck at its base.

She has fair skin and ginger hair cut short and spiking in all directions, due to her head being difficult to carry with longer hair. She is also quite a bit taller than a good portion of her classmates, despite the fact that her head isn't on her body. She is also fit with muscular arms due to her always carrying her head around.

She can often be seen in her school uniform, though she wears a blue vest in the summer as well as short sleeved shirt instead of her usual long sleeve one.

## Personality

Machi is very kind and patient having to constantly work around her head being separate from her body, she is clever enough to figure out ways to do things that require both her hands. She is extremely intelligent, having placed 5th in the midterms and 1st in the proficiency exam. Machi enjoys studying and aiding her friends.

She is easily flustered and very expressive with her body.

Machi genuinely enjoys being held by others and despises being alone, as to move around either her own body or someone else has to pick up her head.

Machi becomes interested in her demi species thanks to Tetsuo Takahashi; because ethics is a barrier for researchers, Machi believes that if she became one, she would be able to unlock the secrets of Dullahan biology.

## Relationships

### Tetsuo Takahashi

Machi has a school-girl crush on her teacher Mr. Takahashi. He has a mentor like relationship with her and treats her kindly like his other students which makes her crush even harder.

## Etymology

* The name **Kyoko** means "capital city" (京) (**kyo**) and "child" (子) (**ko**).
* Kyoko's surname **Machi** means "town" (町).

## Trivia

* Machi has to wear a sweatervest during the summer days at school due to the fact she sweats so much that her shirt becomes see through.
	+ Plus, the fact she is well-endowed means she's had managed to subconsciously find a way to balance her head while constantly bonking it against her chest, while walking; which one would think would be disorienting.
* Machi is one of three known dullahans.
* Machi is curious about the mysteries of her demi species. Soma believes the idea of finding a way to reattach Machi's head may be possible if study into dimensions progressed with her consent as a subject and researcher.
* When Machi is extremely flustered, her flame tends to rocket upwards.
* She was a normal child until her toddler years. Then her head fell off all of a sudden.

But then the school gains a new math teacher, Satou Sakie... who happens to be a succubus.

## Trivia

* It's VERY rare for even four demis to be in the same location; they're a small minority born as a result of random mutation.
