Minamoto Kou

Minamoto Kou (源光) is a student at Kamome Academy's Middle School Division, and a member of a renowned family of exorcists, the Minamoto Clan.

Appearance
Kou is a tall boy with short, spiky blond hair and blue eyes. He wears a traffic safety amulet as a piercing on his right ear.

He wears a black shirt underneath his Kamome Middle School uniform, which is usually left unbuttoned and his tie hanging untied around his neck.

Kou always brings the raiteijou―a spirit staff around with him. He puts it in an umbrella cover when he is not using it. Currently, Kou cannot use the staff's full power because it has been sealed by Hanako.

Personality
Kou is cheerful, direct, and tends to jump into things headfirst without thinking it through. He has been shown to grow more mature as the series progresses.

Relationship
Minamoto Teru Teru is Kou's older brother, and Kou has always looked up to him. When he was little, his goal was to be an exorcist as great, or even greater than his brother.

Kou trusts Teru very much and takes his words to heart, which was why he believed and accepted Teru's order that he must expel any of the Seven Mysteries should he ever encounter any of them.

However, after seeing him in battle with Hanako, he grew to doubt if the things he'd been taught all his life was really right, and stood up to Teru for perhaps the first time.

Hanako

Kou first met Hanako when he tried to exorcise him because he believed him to be an evil spirit and that he was a threat to the students at the school.

Yashiro Nene

Almost immediately after they meet, Kou developed a crush on Nene, and is often shown blushing and getting flustered aroung her.

Mitsuba Sousuke Kou declares himself as Mitsuba's friend. Even though they didn't get along well at first, Kou only accompanying Mitsuba so he could take care of his unfinished business and move on, they grew close pretty quickly.

After Mitsuba's disappearance, Kou is often shown thinking back to the incident, as he deeply regrets not having been able to do anything to prevent it.
