Yuuri ShibuyaThe Two Forms of Yuri: Maoh and teenager Name: Yuuri Shibuya ( Shibuya Yri). Aliases: Yuuri, Your Majesty - by subjects and foreign citizens/rulers, Your/His Majesty, the Demon King, King Yuuri, Double Black Demon King - by Dragon poachers, Wimp(Henachoko) - by Wolfram, Shibuya - by Murata, Yuu-chan - by his family, Young Master (bocchan) - by Yozak, Shibuya Yri Harajuku Fri, Harajuku Fri used by Yuri as an alias when he is outside the castle Race: Demon Gender: Male Age: Episodes 1-78: 15, Episodes 79-117: 16 Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Black Weight: 52 kg Birthday: July 29 Status: Demon King (Maoh), engaged to Wolfram von Bielefeld Clothing: Black Japanese School Uniform described by von Christ as cloaked in the night The stories protagonist. Born in Boston, America and grew up in Saitama prefecture. A high school student who enjoys baseball more than textbooks. He was 'named' by Conrad when he mentioned to Yuuri's mother how, where he comes from, Yuri means July. Early in the show, bullies make fun of Yuuri's name by calling him "Shibuya Yri, Harajuku Fri" (advantage Shibuya, disadvantage Harajuku) a reference to popular districts of Tokyo. In the English dub, this becomes a pun on "Yuuri is short for urine." When Yuuri arrives in Shin Makoku, he is declared the 27th Maoh of the Mazoku ("Demon Race"). Yuuri easily gets caught up in his emotions to the point of losing control of himself. He is a little bit quick to anger, and once he's on a rampage he can't even stop himself. A music teacher he once had dubbed his rants "the Turkish march". When he is angry or sad or has a strong emotion his natural powers emerge. Yuuri uses expressions from historical dramas when he gets this way, which probably has to do with the fact that he loves historical dramas. They call this condition is sometimes called Maou mode

( (uesama mo-do) (emperor mode) in Japanese). In the anime this form can be recognized mainly by the longer hair and demon eyes. He can summon powerful magic (majutsu), even in the human territories (a notable feat as most Mazoku cannot perform magic outside their country), and even more remarkable he can use majutsu in souseki filled areas such as the souseki mines where other mazoku have difficulty standing and even breathing. Yuuri's magic is manifested in various shapes - usually one or more great water dragons, or some messy magical "creature" made from mud, food morsels etc. After spending time in this form, Yuuri becomes worn out and in some cases passes out and doesn't remember what happened afterwards. Later, Yuri learns to control his power and uses it to close the first of the Forbidden Boxes. In the beginning of season 1, he often fainted after he used Maryokou (especially in Human land) due to exhaustion. But later on he was able to maintain his consciousness after returning to his "former self". Yuuri is in fact the reincarnation of, and therefore is, Susanna Julia von Winncott, who died during the war against humans 20 years ago. The pendant Conrad gave to him belonged to her. He retains some of Susanna's skills, as demonstrated when Adalbert brought out his stored language memory in his soul; he begins to understand the mazoku language but because Suzanna Julia was blind he is unable to read the language, although, he can read raised letters with a finger. And sometimes when he goes into a crisis mode Julia's influence comes to the front of his brain and he temporarily loses eyesight. Yuuri has many allies and friends. His closest allies are Wolfram, Conrad, Gnter, Gwendal, Murata, and Josak. They help Yuri throughout the series. At his first encounter with Wolfram von Bielefeld he ends up engaged to him due to a mishap: Wolfram, angry that Yuuri has been chosen as the Maoh, makes the mistake of insulting Yuuri's mother - which earns him a slap. Slapping another noble on his or her left cheek is the way in which Mazoku propose marriage (some consider the slap as unmanly, but Yuri explains in the light novel that he only slapped Wolfram because he has a beautiful face, otherwise he would have punched him). Incensed by this insult, Wolfram challenges Yuuri to a duel, which is also mistakenly accepted because of Yuuri's unfamiliarity with Mazoku custom (he picked up the knife that fell off the table). Throughout the series, his main goal is to create a world in which Mazoku and humans can live together in peace, something that progresses slowly but surely as the series goes on. Yuuri is said to be the greatest Maoh after defeating Soushu and freeing the Original King from the dark power. Because of that, Yuuri is able to travel between worlds even without the help of the Original King. Seiyu: Takahiro Sakurai Voice actor: Yuri Lowenthal

Conrad/Conrart WellerName: Sir Conrad/Conrart Weller (/) Aliases: The Lion of Ltenberg ()), The Patriot of Ltenberg, Commander, Captain - ( Taichou) by Josak, Lord Weller - ( )by people in general, including Wolfram, Conrad - by Yuri and, later on in the series, Wolfram and Gwendal, Man who named me - ( Nazukeoya) by Yuri, Little Big Brother (Chiisai aniue) - young Wolfram, Sir Weller - by Suzanna Julia von Wincott Race: Half human, half Mazoku Gender: Male Birthday: summer Age: 96 (Appears 20+) Hair Color: Light Brown Eye Color: Light Brown with silver specks Status: Second son of the previous Maoh, Commander- oversees Yuri's Safety Clothing: 1914 German Infantry Uniform His given name is Conrart; Yuri nicknames him "Conrad," which is "closer to English" and easier to pronounce with a Japanese tongue. Conrad is the second child of the previous Maoh, Cecilie von Spitzweig. His father was human (also considered the greatest swordsman in the Demon Kingdom; Dan Hiri Weller). His ancestor, Lawrence Weller, fought alongside the Original King during the war against Soushu.On his 16th birthday, he decided to live as a Mazoku instead of a human. He fought on the front lines for the Mazoku during a war against the humans. He and Yozak are the only two survivors of the Battle of Ltenburg. He was also put in charge of the soul at the request of Suzanna Julia von Wincott, that was to be the new Maoh, and brought it safely to Earth so that it could be born. Furthermore, he was the one who was the inspiration for Yuri's name. He stated that "Where I come from, the month of July is called Yuri", which made Yuri's mother name him Yuri because he was born in July. For this reason, Yuri dubs him 'Nazukeoya', which is a person who names someone (Conrad is also known as Yuri's Godfather by his mother). Cecilie named the blue flowers she grew "Conrad Stands Upon Earth". When Yuri first came to Shin Makoku, Conrad was the one to find him (after some humans and Adelbert) and bring him safely to the castle. He acts as Yuri's bodyguard and vows to protect Yuri with his life. He was described by Yuri as almost perfect with fine looks and a mild demeanor but he makes the worst jokes.Conrad is a swordsman ("the best swordsman in Shin Makoku" - according to Wolfram who looks after Yuri. Conrad possesses no

maryoku (demonic magic) due to his mixed heritage of human and mazoku. Eventually it is discovered that Conrad's left arm is one of the keys to the 4 magical boxes ('The End of the Wind') that have the power to destroy the world. His ancestor, Lawrence Weller, fought along the Original King. As Conrad's father was not a Mazoku noble, he doesn't have "von" in his name. After he loses this arm in a battle, he disappears after swearing to Yuri that he'll never die and leave him alone. Later, he reappears with a new arm, and seems to have betrayed Shin Makoku by joining their human enemies, Big Cimaron, who were after the four boxes. However, it is learned that Conrad only betrayed them to learn about the whereabouts of the boxes. His plan was, when the four boxes were gathered, to steal them and return to Shin Makoku. He went as far as pushing Jozak off the edge of the cliff to show his alliance to Big Cimaron. When King Belar orders Conrad to execute Yuri, Conrad instead frees them, and protects Yuri from arrows. He was also very close to Suzanna Julia von Wincott, whose soul is inside Yuri. Seiyu: Toshiyuki Morikawa Voice actor: Doug Erholtz

Wolfram von BielefeldName: Lord Wolfram von Bielefeld () Aliases: Little Lord Brat/Spoiled Prince/Arrogant Poo - ( wagamama puu in Japanese (Puu short for Prince)) - by Gnter, Gwendal, Anissina, Bishnen - (-pretty boy) by Yuuri, Otokomae -( Handsome man) by Yuuri, Sannan Boy ("The Third Son") - by Adalbert, Wolfie - by Cecilie, Lord Von Bielefeld - by Murata and Shinou, Wolf-chan - Miko (Jennifer) Shibuya, Mr. Wolfram - ( - Wolfram-san) by Yuri, Wolf - () by Yuri, Cecilie, Honey-chan - by Cecilie (when Wolfram was young in the novels), Yuri (once in the novels) Race: Mazoku Gender: Male Age: 82 but looks around 15-16 Birthday: spring Hair Color: Blonde Eye Color: Emerald Green Height: 165 cm or 5.5 feet

Weight: 42 kg Status: Third son of the previous Maoh, engaged to Yuri Clothing: United States Officer's Uniform from during the Mexican American War A young man who finds himself engaged to Yuri after a mistake. He is a 'bishnen', which means a beautiful boy. He has slightly rumpled blond hair and emerald green eyes. His handsome appearance is so influential, that several dying people in the hospital have a miraculous recovery after laying eyes on him. Wolfram possesses fire magic, as well as being adept with a sword. He is the half-brother of Conrad and Gwendal. He has extremely high pride and is hot-headed. He is arrogant and short-tempered but can also be quite compassionate at times. He is called "little lord brat". He is the only one of the previous queen's three sons who inherited her emerald green eyes and blonde hair, bearing a striking resemblance to her. It seems he inherited fire magic and selfishness from his fathers side. Wolfram is obsessed with Yuri and insists on following him everywhere as he claims it is his duty to protect his fianc, though he also seems to want to prevent him from cheating on him. His ancestor, Rufus Bielefield, fought alongside the Original King (the great one). Near the end of the second season, there is a time when Wolfram is possessed by Original King, who in turned was possessed by Soushu. The key he possesses, his heart, is ripped out by Original King in order to open one of the four boxes, 'Hellfire in Frozen Land' ('Hellfire on Frozen Tundra' in Japanese translation). Because of this, Wolfram temporarily dies, but is revived when the Original King returns the keys to their owners. Wolfram is the youngest son of the former Maoh, Cecilie von Spitzweig. He initially dislikes humans, even Conrad's father. Because of his mazoku pride, he does not like to admit that Conrad is his brother, even though he cares for Conrad (Wolfram always referred to Conrad by his last name - Lord Weller; however, after Conrad's return from his supposed betrayal, Wolfram refers to Conrad by his first name). In the graphic novels, it is hinted that this hatred towards humans stems from his late father's prejudice against humans. His liking for humans improves throughout the series, progressing to the point that he adopts the human girl Greta as his daughter, starts acknowledging Yuri's parents as his future "in-laws" and also runs into a raging fire to save a human child. Years ago when he was a child, Wolfram accidentally slapped Elizabeth, Raven's niece, on her left cheek. Elizabeth never forgot this incident, insisting that they swore everlasting love that day, while Wolfram insists he forgot why he slapped her in the first place. Some time after collecting three of the Four Forbidden Boxes, Elizabeth becomes Stoffel's tool to separate Yuri from the three brothers, pronouncing an engagement proposal to Yuri. Elizabeth's real goal is to marry Wolfram Onii-sama, but Wolfram says that his only fiance is Yuri. During the duel which ensues, (as

Yuri accidentally picked up a knife and a fork pointing it at Elizabeth; symbolizing a fight to settle a triangle love affair), Yuri turns into the Maoh, protecting Wolfram from being hurt by fire maryoku that Elizabeth summoned. He proclaims the two go on the date and remember their childhood memories. It is eventually learned that Wolfram slapped Elizabeth because he wanted to touch a butterfly that flew past, and Conrad was watching the entire event. He claimed he forgotten about it because he didn't want to embarrass Elizabeth. Wolfram is an extremely beautiful person - Yuri calls him this upon first meeting him (specifically using the term 'bishnen' in the Japanese version and very often in the light novel). This is also why Yuri slapped Wolfram when he badmouthed Yuri's mother instead of punching him, stating that it's a pity to dirty such a pretty face. In the novels, Yuuri even refers him as 'angel' and 'Prince Charming' and their relationship has a nice progress through out the series. When he first becomes engaged to Yuri he is extremely upset, but the idea quickly grows on him. He takes the engagement much more seriously than Yuri does. He follows Yuri practically everywhere so he can keep an eye on him and even sneaks into Yuri's bedroom at night. He gets extremely jealous when Yuri talks to a girl or goodlooking guy and often accuses him of being unfaithful which is sometimes used as comic relief, but as a character he is popular between fans and is considered to be the anime's breakout character. The original author of this story, Tomo Takabayashi also said that Wolfram is her favorite character. Even if he does not like to admit it, the series hints that Wolfram deeply cares about Yuri. He tends to think Yuri can be saved from bad situations because of his cuteness. By the end of the anime, he is making blatant declarations of love. A major weakness is that he gets sea-sick. Yuri also says that Wolfram cannot paint well, even though he insists on painting. For example, he tries to paint Yuri, although it turns out unintentionally impressionistic. He also sometimes got low-blood-pressure from Yuuri's observance in the novel. During the end of season two and the beginning of season three, Wolfram is chosen by the Ten Noble Families of Shin Makoku (Christ, Voltaire, Grantz, Bielefeld, Karbelnikoff, Wincott, Spitzberg, Gyllenhaal, Rochefort, and Radford) to become the next Maoh, due to the belief that Yuri would not be able to return to Shin Makoku at the time. When Yuri does in fact return, Wolfram's uncle, Waltorana, places pressure on Wolfram to obtain the throne. Because of this, Wolfram dissolves the engagement with Yuri and travels back to his homelands, in hopes that he would not be used to sabotage Yuri. Discovering of Wolfram's predicament, Yuri and his retainers travel to the Bielefeld lands in the hopes of persuading Wolfram to return to Blood Pledge Castle, only to be forced into a formal duel by Wolfram himself. The battle becomes quite intense, as Wolfram gives his all against Yuri and Yuri trying his best to persuade Wolfram to stop the duel. At the climax, Yuri was forced to protect himself by becoming the Maoh and, angered by Wolfram's reckless dueling, prepares to hit Wolfram with a potentially fatal attack. In the process

of hitting Wolfram with the attack, Yuri watched as Wolfram prepared himself for what seems to be his last moment and gave his final words to Yuri: "Yuri. Be a good king." Realizing that Wolfram had planned the whole thing from the beginning so Yuri could remain the Maoh, Yuri absorbed the attack onto himself at the last moment, sparring Wolfram of the damage. The Ten Noble Families then changed their decision to keep Yuri as their king and Waltorana steps down from forcing Wolfram onto the throne. After a reconciliation between the two, Wolfram happily decides to annul the disengagement to a comically shocked Yuri and proceeds to return to his normal attitude towards their engagement. During the course of the series, Wolfram has grown exponentially from a spoiled prince to a selfless young man who stands by Yuri with no question. Though, he had no plans of becoming Maoh in the first place, he was willing to protect and serve Shin Makoku when it was resolved that Yuri would not be returning back at the end of the second season, wanting to protect the beautiful job Yuri did as Maoh. Seiyu: Mitsuki Saiga Voice actor: Mona Marshall

Gwendal von VoltaireName: Lord Gwendal von Voltaire () Alias: Gwen - ()by Cecilie and Greta), Gwendal - by Conrad, Yuri, Big Brother - ()by Wolfram, Mr. Cool Ponytail - by Jennifer of Yokohama, Race: Mazoku Birthday: autumn Age: 125 Appears 30+ Gender: Male Hair Color: Dark Grey Eye Color: Blue Status: First son of the previous Maoh, Commander of the Mazoku Army Clothing: WWII British Officers Great Coat The eldest son of Cecilie. From the beginning, Gwendal has objections to Yuri becoming the Maoh. He is a skilled tactician and is capable of using earth magic and can cast barriers. When not otherwise busy, Gwendal indulges in his hobby of knitting and sewing but often his creatures look nothing like what they're supposed to (for example a bear got mistaken for a black pig or a cat that looks like a raccoon). He is adamnant that knitting helps him sharpen his concentration but actually its a stress reliever for him since

childhood. He is also quite fond of cute animals or cute objects such as the dolphin keychain (Bandou-kun) Yuri received at the dolphin show and later gave to him. His childhood best friend is Anissina von Karbelnikoff, an inventor who often tests out her inventions on him, much to his displeasure. Anissina is also the one who taught Gwendal how to knit. Gwendal's left eye is a key to one of the four Forbidden Boxes, the "End of the Earth". Gwendal is a tough guy except when it comes to his childhood friend, Anissina, and his brothers. He is afraid of Anissina and often hides from her so he can prevent being used in one of her crazy experiments. He is even seen sweating in panic at the thought of her. While he does not outwardly show much affection towards his brothers, he shows in times of great stress that he does care, an example being his decision to stand against the Original King to save his little brother, Wolfram. Jozak, who was sent to locate one of the Four Forbidden Boxes, tells Conrad that Gwendal really cares for Conrad's wellbeing and doesn't want Conrad to worry despite the Original King's wishes for Conrad to find the Boxes. His ancestor, Siegbert Voltaire, fought along the Original King. When he was younger, Gwendal despised humans, a habit called the Mazoku Pride by Dan Hiri Weller. On Dan Hiri's last journey to a nameless village, he told Gwendal to enjoy the ride before their last duel. Upon arriving in the village, Gwendal is shocked that the village isn't recognized by Shin Makoku, and leads the attack on the bandits which targeted the village. In this duel, Gwendal sees Dan Hiri for who he really was, an old man, not the agile man he knew when he was younger. Dan Hiri later dies of old age, and Gwendal buries him near the tree where Dan Hiri told Gwendal what he was looking for. Years later while on a picnic with his family and Yuri, Gwendal admits that Dan Hiri was a larger existence than anyone else within him, because he hated that man. When he and Yuri were alone in the desert following a sand trap that sucked in Wolfram and Conrad, Gwendal showed certain care he tried to hide towards Yuri. It was at that time Yuri later commented to Conrad that all of the siblings have similar kind smiles, even though Gwendal's is covered up by his "scary face". Gwendal has no interest in love affairs, and even points out that issues coming from love affairs are beyond his abilities to influence. He does occasionally show care towards Greta, often being in charge of her while Yuri and Wolfram are in one of their adventures. Gwendal knows how to bake, as he does so for Greta when Gnter, who would usually bake cookies for Greta, leaves the castle for a short journey. Greta comments that Gwendal's cookies look cute while Yuri comments Gwendal is good at baking as Gwendal's cookies are made into animal shapes, similar to the ones he knits.When Greta asks Gwendal if she is disturbing him while he is doing work, Gwendal says "Since it's you, I don't mind". He is the commander of the demon army and often comes with reinforcements when Yuri finds himself in big trouble. He is also the one who does the paperwork and essentially runs the kingdom for Yuri.[36] Often enough, when Yuri leaves the castle, Gunter is seen barging into Gwendal's office, demanding where Yuri is.

Gwendal would usually look tired and suggest an idea which sounds appealing to Gunter, for example locking Yuri up in a room where no one will interfere. He also has quite a resemblance to real-life Gwendal Peizerat, Marina Anissina's skating partner. Seiyu: Akio tsuka Voice actor: Dan Woren (a.k.a Jackson Daniels)

Gnter von ChristName: Gnter von Christ () Aliases: Snow Gnter (Yuki Gnter in Japanese), GnGn - by Gnter himself while under the influence of Ulrike's spirit, Lord Gnter, Gnter von Kleist - in Japanese Race: Mazoku Gender: Male Age: Appears 30 (Novels) Mentioned to be almost 150 by Wolfram (novels) Hair Color: Lilac Eye Color: Violet Status: Adviser to the Maoh Clothing: No historical reference A teacher and swordsman who adores Yuri. Gnter is a skilled swordsman and magician, but has retired to teach Yuri about Shin Makoku and his future duties as the Maoh. Gunter once stated that he was the one who taught Conrad to "become His Majesty's sword and shield" indicating that perhaps Gunter was once Conrad's teacher. When Gnter accidentally travels to Earth, he becomes a model in New York City for a brief period of time so that he can earn money to find Yuri.He is a very whimsical person and poetic in his thoughts. Gnter is another test subject of Anissina. Gnter, along with the three brothers, helps Yuri run the country. He is Yuri's adviser and mentor, teaching Yuri various aspects of Shin Makoku.He usually spends his time doing numerous duties for Yuri and Shin Makoku. When Gunter was shot with a poisoned arrow containing the Wincott poison, his soul was temporarily housed in an Okiku Doll that flies, shoots lasers from its eyes and has hair that grow naturally. During this time his body was known as Snow Gunter and can be controlled by or released from the effects of the Wincott Poison by

anyone of the direct line of the von Wincotts like Julia's father and nephew. Gnter's personality is usually that of a good nature, but when he puts on his serious face he can be awe-inspiring. He has an extremely strong attachment to Yuri and tends to pine when Yuri has been gone from the Shin Makoku for any considerable amount of time. He is very popular among females and males because of his good looks. Gnter's political views make a radical change due to Yuri's influence. In the beginning, he was the one pushing most strongly for the war that would exterminate the human race. As the series goes on, Yuri's views are impressed upon him, and he begins to truly believe in and work for a peaceful alliance between Mazoku and humans. Gnter's only family seems to be his adopted daughter Gisela. Seiyu: Kazuhiko Inoue Voice actor: Jack Lingo

Ken MurataName: Ken Murata ( Murata Ken?) Aliases: Murata - Yuri, Ken-chan - Miko Shibuya, MuraKen - ()Yuri, Mura-Mura - Himself, Wolfram and Gunter (episode 44), The Great Sage ( , "Daikenja")- Shinou (voiced by: Nozomu Sasaki), The Great Wise Man of Double Black ( "Soukoku no Daikenja"), Your Highness/Your , Eminence/Your Grace/Your Holiness (, "Geika") - by those from Shin Makoku, Mr. Straight A's - by bullies in episode 1, Friend of My Little Brother ( Otouto no tomodachi) Shori Shibuya, Yuri's brother Race: Unknown (assumed to be half-Mazoku, half-human) Gender: Male Age: 1516 years Hair: Black Eyes: Black Clothing: While in Shin Makoku, wears a black uniform similar to Yuri's, but with gold trim. On Earth, wears casual clothing or his school uniform. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Japan. Murata Ken met Yuri in middle school, where they were in the same class for two years. He now goes to a famous private school. His name is similar to Yuri's favorite historical drama actor Matsudaira Ken, so he is the only one of Yuri's former classmates that he remembers the name and face of other than baseball club members. Ken is known to smile often and keep relatively quiet. He often tells jokes which

don't suit his age which makes Yuri ask "how old are you really?". Dr. Rodriguez was responsible for handling his soul, around the same time when Conrad transported Julia's soul. He is the reincarnation of the Great Sage. The double black tactician and strategist to the Original King of Shin Makoku. He remembers parts of the past lives he has had over the past 4000 years. Other people in the story don't seem to remember any of their past lives, so his remembering some seems to be very special. Because of his past lives he is able to speak Shin Makoku's language, English and French. His parents are always busy with work so he is home alone a lot. He also spends a lot of time with Yuri's family. Since Yuri became the Maou (and saved him from getting mugged) they have become very close. He has become the captain, owner, and manager of Yuri's grass lot baseball team in the novels. It was established in a drama CD that he Placed 2nd in the country on the trial entrance exam to the University of Tokyo. Also, even though he's still a high school student he's developing software and trading stocks. In Murata Ken's last life before this one he was an adult film actress named Christine who lived in Hong Kong. And the life before that he was a French doctor named Henry Rgent, He appears in the extra story novel "Ojyousama to wa Kari no Sugata!" His other lives include a Spanish bread maker, a Venetian bakery worker, an ancient Egyptian mummy maker, and a knight in the crusades. In the novels, 4000 years ago, right after Soushu was sealed in the boxes they took two of them to earth and he was reincarnated there. But in the anime it seems like he and Shinou were closer and around 2000 years ago he was reincarnated as Jeneus and made an organization in Shinou's memory called the white crows.

Yosak Gurrier/GrieName: Yozak Gurrier () Alias: The Spy, Ms. Biceps- Yuri at the beginning, Powerful Old Man (Powerful Ojii-san), Warrior of Ltenburg, niwaban - ()Yuri, Grie-chan ()Yuri Race: Half human, half Mazoku Gender: Male Hair: Orange Eyes: Blue

Status: Spy of the Demon army, Maoh's personal guard Clothing: Plain Clothes or Drag He was introduced by Conrad to Yuri during the episode where they are captured on a ship (episode 5). He originally doubted Yuri, but Yuri eventually gaines his trust by entrusting him with Morgif's Jewel. This is Morgif's source of power, and Yozak later returns it so Morgif can help Yuri defend a human village from a stolen Holy Sword and its not-quite-human wielder. He goes back a long way with Conrad: they've known each other since they were children. Yozak and Conrad are the only survivors of the Rtenburg army, a portion of the army of Shin Makoku that fought in the past war with the humans for the mazoku. The Rtenburg warriors were all half-human halfmazoku fighters that wished to prove their loyalty to Shin Makoku. Halfbloods were - and are - looked down upon by both mazoku and humans because of the hatred between the races. It can only be assumed that as relations between the species change, so will the treatment of halfbreeds. Yuri's efforts to unite humans and mazoku are one of the main reasons Josak supports Yuri. He is the first one to find out that Ken Murata is the person with the soul of the Great Sage, the Original King's trusted friend. He's a kind hearted man despite his huge appearance, and no matter how masculine he looks, he seems to enjoy cross-dressing as he frequently dresses as a woman in his work as a spy, and even dresses as a nurse to aid a human village in distress, complete with make-up . He carries a dress around as a good-luck charm because dressing as a female has saved his life many times. Seiyu: Masanori Takeda Voice actor: Marvin Lee

Shori ShibuyaName: Shori Shibuya ( Shibuya Shri?) Alias: Sho-chan - young Yuri, Jennifer, Older brother of my friend - ( tomodachi no onii-san) Ken Murata, Race: Half human, half Mazoku Gender: Male Age: 18 (Novels) Hair: Black Eyes: Black

Status: Successor to the Maoh of Earth Yuri's older brother who is apparently a genius, likes to play dating simulators and is very protective of Yuri (once described by Murata as having a "brothercomplex"). He is to become Bob's successor as the Maoh of Earth.When he was younger, he met Bob who rescued Yuri and him from some bullies. While initially despising his parents for having a divorcement argument, he also resented the fact that Yuri will have to go to Shin Makoku eventually. Bob explained to him it will happen in the future, and Shori was contented being with Yuri for the time being. Shori wanted Yuri to call him "oni-chan" but Yuri refused to and became more independent when he went to elementary school. It is seen that Shori communicates regularly with Bob, who he complains emphasizes his age more than anything else. Apparently his short term ambition is to become the Governor of Tokyo. Often carrying a cold attitude, he did not welcome having Wolfram and the others in his house. He seems especially distasteful to Conrad, and makes a point of demanding that Conrad returns his clothes to him properly cleaned (since the two of them are about the same build and size, Jennifer usually lends Shori's clothing to Conrad). Later, he and Conrad form an understanding based on their mutual desire to protect Yuri. Once Shori ends up in Shin Makoku, he becomes suspicious about the Original King, Ken Murata, and the four forbidden boxes. Shori eventually goes to Shin Makoku where he learns to use the powerful maryoku he possesses. Wolfram gave Shori a pact to the elements, somewhat like how Odine (Andine by some translations) gave a pact to Yuri to gain control of his maryoku. Shori's maryoku is like of Yuri's, the control of water, but initially Shori's maryoku takes the form of a giant hand. He is, however, seen to be able to shape his maryoku into water dragons after some training with Ulrike, who comments that Shori is extraordinary because he learned to control his maryoku slightly in a short span of time.
