Tou Handa

**Tou** **Handa** (半田 桃, *Handa Tо̄*) is a dhampir born between Akira Handa (human) and Akemi Handa (vampire) and a member of the Vampire Countermeasure Division in the Kanagawa Police branch where Hinaichi is one of his superiors in the division.

He went to the same high school as Ronaldo and Kameya where Tou considers Ronaldo as a rival due to him wanting to be a vampire hunter and eventually an enemy due to his mother being a fan of Ronaldo.

## Appearance

Handa has spiky black hair that has bangs hanging on the right side, sharp yellow eyes and he has a beauty mark under his left eye.

He is commonly seen wearing the standard uniform of the Vampire Countermeasure Division, substituting the common white shirt and light blue tie for a black long-sleeved turtleneck underneath the uniform.

## Personality

Handa is a reliable and competent civil servant with high physical skills and usually finishes his tasks accurately and efficiently. He's serious about his job as a part of the Vampire Countermeasure Division that he doesn't get fired despite his known and on-going harassment on Ronaldo. Yet, despite his hatred for the vampire hunter, Handa never makes up anything false about Ronald purely because his mother taught him that it's not right to speak ill of someone without fully knowing them nor criticize someone with falsehoods without any solid evidence. He is an honorable anti(-Ronaldo).

He very much loves his mother Akemi Handa and is seen to be gentle and tactful around her. However, the same can't be said to his interactions with any other women. Mostly with Hinaichi, where we see him make fun of her for having a boob-expander machine that Odd Creature gave which cause Hinaichi to throw him out of a window, and the other time where he stuck his hand to her chest to grab Draluc who was able to successfully transform into a cute bat. He is also a huge jerk that is not above using other people like his juniors to do his dirty work, such as Sagyou who is mostly his most commonly chosen victim. However, as the series progresses, he eventually tones down and acts more civil with other people as long as they're not Ronaldo, despite still taking advantage of Sagyou frequently.

Akemi discourages lying. Thus, he is a terrible liar and will say the most absurd things over another for the sake of supporting his lies. It stresses him to a point of sweating bullets, becoming more frantic the longer it goes on, and eventually developing a fever once over.

As a child, Handa was much more introverted until he met Ronaldo who vowed to become a vampire hunter in front of him, in high school (despite chickening out during the first day of high school), which prompted him to become more aggressive and the person he is today.

## Abilities

Despite not having supernatural abilities like vampires do, Handa is very skilled as a dhampir.

* He is able to detect vampires; however his ability is weakened when there's a huge gathering of vampires.
* He can increase his physical strength temporarily by taking blood tablets.

	+ **Tou** (桃) can also be written/read as **Momo** (桃), hence forth the nickname that Akemi Handa usually calls him.
