Kamui Shirou
Kamui is the main character of X. He and his mother left Tokyo six
year's ago after the death of Sayo Monou (Fuma and Kotori's mother).
He has now returned to Tokyo only to discover that the fate of the
world rests in his hands. Initially, Kamui is very cold, arrogant,
and mistrustful, even to his childhood friends, Fuma and Kotori. However,
Kamui is just trying to keep his distance to protect them from the
chaos that surrounds him. When he lets his guard down, Kamui actually
is a very caring and loyal person. More than anyone else, Kamui cares
about and wishes to protect Fuma and Kotori. This desire to protect
them and their future is what ultimately leads Kamui to become a DoH.
Sorata Arisugawa
Sorata is a very lively, funny, cheerful young man from Osaku. Since
he was three, he was raised by Stargazer Chuu at Mt. Kouya. Stargazer
Chuu told Sorata that his destiny is to fight alongside Kamui as one
of the Seven Seals, however, he will die for the sake of a woman.
Sorata knows that Chuu's stargazing has never been wrong, so he prefers
to die for a beautiful woman. When Sorata meets Arashi Kishu for the
first time, he immediately decides on her as the woman he will sacrifice
his life to protect, much to Arashi's consternation.
Arashi Kishu
Arashi is the first DoH to be gathered up by Hinoto. She is the Kakushi
Miko "Hidden Shrine Maiden" of the Ise Shrine and carries
all the power of the shrine within her. This power, takes the form
of a hidden sword sheathed in Arashi's hand. Arashi is cool, calm,
and serious and a very capable fighter. Arashi is also the object
of her fellow DoH member Sorata's affections.
Yuzuriha Nekoi
At fourteen, Yuzuriha is the youngest member of the DoH. She is from
the Mitsumine shrine which uses dogs as servant spirits. Her "spirit-dog"
is Inuki. Inuki can change into any form according to Yuzuriha will.
In the tv anime, Inuki always changes into a sword which Yuzuriha
wields in battle. When Yuzuriha was a child, she had a reputation
as a liar among her peers because only people with powers can see
Inuki and therefore none of her classmates believed he existed. The
first person Yuzuriha encounters who can see Inuki is Kusanagi Shiyu,
one of the DoE. Yuzuriha is so happy that he can see Inuki, she breaks
down in tears and hugs a very surprised and perplexed Kusanagi. Despite
being on opposite sides, Yuzuriha and Kusanagi develop a very close
friendship.
Seiichiro Aoki
Seiichiro Aoki is a friendly, mild-mannered gentleman who loves his
wife and daughter very much. In the anime, he files for divorce because
he feels his family would be safer away from him since he is one of
the DoH in the upcoming battle for the fate of the Earth. However
he plans to remarry his wife if he survives. Aoki is a "windcaster"
and is often seen with Karen Kasumi. He has told her he would be sad
if she died (which she believed nobody would) and has made her promise
not to do anything to make him sad.
Karen Kasumi
Karen Kasumi is a lovely, kind, self-assured woman. However, on the
inside, she is very lonely. She seems to believe that she is the most
"expendable" of the Seals and if there is danger she should
be the first to face it because no one would cry for her if she were
to die. Karen is a "firecaster" and has developed a friendship
with Seiichiro Aoki. Even though she finds herself attracted to him,
she respects the fact that he has a family and decides to protect
Aoki for their sake.
Subaru Sumeragi
Subaru is the 13th head of the Sumeragi Clan. He is very quiet and
somewhat of a loner but he has a very kind heart and at one point
in X TV he reaches out to a catatonic Kamui with his memories and
emotions and is able to wake him and give him renewed hope and inner
strength for the imminent battle with the DoE. Subaru had a twin sister
named Hokuto who was killed by Seishiro Sakurazuka, a DoE.
