List of Strike the Blood characters

The following is a list of characters from Strike the Blood.

Main characters

 * Kojo Akatsuki (暁 古城)
 * Three months prior to the beginning of the story, typical Saikai Private Academy (私立彩海学園) high school student Kojo Akatsuki became the Fourth Progenitor (第四真祖)) vampire, made so by his predecessor, Avrora Florestina who also blocked his memories of the event. When sexually aroused, he suffers nosebleeds and succumbs to a bloodlust eased only by drinking blood — early on, his own. Kojo possesses common vampire traits, such as superhuman strength, speed, reflexes and regeneration, but as a progenitor, he also possesses greater powers, especially the capacity to control familiars (眷獣) of which he inherited twelve from his predecessor. Each time he preys upon another human, he gains control over a familiar, which do not acknowledge him beforehand. In the future, he marries both Yukina and Asagi.

 * Yukina Himeragi (姫柊 雪菜)
 * A middle-school sword shaman (剣巫) from the ancient Lion King Agency (獅子王機関), Yukina was sent to 'observe' the Fourth Progenitor with special instructions to eliminate him should she deem him dangerous. To aid her in her duties, she is equipped with a magic halberd or lance named Sekkarou (雪霞狼). Taking her role as observer (監視者) overly seriously, she moves into the apartment next to Kojo's and follows him everywhere. Unbeknownst to her or anyone outside the Lion Kings' directors, her actual purpose is apparently to become the Fourth Progenitor's first blood partner and mate. Like many of its members, she was sold to the Lion Kings by her parents. While initially positioning herself exclusively as the observer of a dangerous threat to humanity, she soon begins exhibiting trust and romantic feelings towards Kojo and jealousy towards other women. During their battle against the Lotharingian exorcist Rudolf Eustach, she gives herself to Kojo, enabling him to first gain control of a familiar. In a glimpse into the future, she is presumed married to Kojo and has a daughter from him named Reina.

 * Asagi Aiba (藍羽 浅葱)
 * Asagi is Kojo's friend and classmate. She is an impossibly expert programmer and hacker who works part-time for the Itogami Island Management Corporation (絃神島管理公社) which administers the city and island; this provides her with access to powerful, hidden systems and information. She has a crush on Kojo but does not act upon it until feelings of jealousy are provoked by Yukina's arrival. Despite knowing that the island is deeply connected to supernatural persons and creatures, she is unaware that her friends are among them until Kojo and Yukina finally reveal the truth to her. Her own hidden identity is that of the Priestess of Cain (カインの巫女).

 * Sayaka Kirasaka (煌坂 紗矢華)
 * A war dancer (舞威媛), which specialize in hexes and assassination, in the Lion King Agency, she is Yukina's former roommate and best friend. She wields a transforming sword/bow named Koukarin (煌華麟) in its sword form and der Freishütze (デアフライシュッツ) in its bow form. She is both overprotective of Yukina and androphobic, which gets Kojo off on the wrong foot when they first meet. Forced by circumstances to work closely with Kojo, she warms to him and eventually offers herself, gaining him control of a second familiar. Subsequent to this, she develops romantic feelings towards him. While her regular duties involve investigating international magical crimes, her encounters with Kojo were apparently similarly arranged by the Lion Kings with the same objective in mind as with Yukina.
