* MagneticHero: Kazuha natural charisma allows him to befriend so many people on his journey, due to his flexible nature, kindness [[spoiler: and the fact his achievement on tanking Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi makes him a LivingLegend]], this makes Kazuha a very popular figure in Teyvat with him able to befriended someone like [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Hu Tao]] or [[{{Chuunibyou}} Fischl]], [[spoiler: even [[TheCynic the Wanderer]] likes him because of the fact he inherited his own Ancestor kindness and finding out about his achievement]].

* GyaruGirl: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]; while she doesn't wear a uniform, Yoimiya's outfit draws parallels to the ''Kogal'' style, wearing a short skirt below her yukata, geta sandals in place of platform shoes, and having painted nails, noticeable red eyeliner, and blonde hair fading to red at the tips (albeit naturally) that's worn in a messy ponytail.

!!Miscellaneous

[[folder:Katou Brothers]]
!!The Katou Brothers, Youhei and Shingou
->'''Katou Youhei Voiced By''': Henry Schrader (English)
->'''Katou Shingo Voiced By''': Calvin Joyal (English)
Two brothers who dreamed of establishing their own dojo. After Shingou was kicked out from the Meikyou Shisui Arts Dojo, Youhei witnessed the popularity of the book titled ''A Firsthand Guide to Summoning Spirits'', so they performed the summoning ritual to perform a swordmanship mastery. When things went wrong, Youhei ended up pleading with Yae Miko to perform an exorcism on Shingo.

* DemonicPossession: Katou Shingo was possessed by [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Arakawa Kouji]], the Ancient spirit of The Oni in Samurai armour.
* GoneHorriblyRight: The brothers are performing a summoning ritual that would make him a great swordfighter that would compete against Domon's students. However, the ritual worked and Shingou becomes a BloodKnight as a result, and Youhei fears his brother's safety, have been begging Yae Miko for help for 5 days.

[[folder:Kids Kujirai]]
!!Kids Kujirai
Eight young boys and identical brothers scattered throughout Inazuma, who challenge passersby to a game of temari, where they must find the eponymous ball within a time limit.

* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: The Kid Kujirai are multiple children in seperate locations.

[[folder:Masakatsu]]
!!Masakatsu
A craftsman who has been creating fake Visions to fool Shogunate officers and protect Vision wielders from the Vision Hunt Decree.

* CallBack: The Traveler recalls Venti's fake Vision when Ayaka mentions how they had Masakatsu craft the fake Visions to defend their Visions from the Raiden Shogun, with one of the Traveler's voice dialog wondering if Masakatsu's where Venti got his fake Vision from.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Is subjected to one by the two Tenryou soldiers who beat him savagely to teach him a lesson. Kujou Sara isn't pleased with their actions.
* DistressedDude: As he can make and craft convincingly real-looking fake Visions, the Raiden Shogun had captured him.
* MasterForger: Is able to make fake Visions that are indistinguishable from the real thing to give it to the Shogunate forces in place of their actual Visions. Unfortunately, the Tenryou Commission caught wind of this and had him arrested.

[[folder:Tomoki]]
!!Tomoki
An Inazuman vendor who specializes in creative cooking.

* BornInTheWrongCentury: His creative cooking has a lot of food that could blend with modern food trends (like creating flavored milk and essentially bubble tea), but for the people of Inazuma it's just weird combinations.
* CelebrityEndorsement: Ei loves his product and orders a batch of it. Considering [[GodEmperor what]] [[PhysicalGod she]] [[GodOfThunder is]], that's pretty about as high as this trope can go.
* CordonBleughChef: When the Traveler arrives to Inazuma, he explains that his "Creative cooking" isn't popular because people find weird some of his creations. Once the Shogun tries and actually likes his Dango Milk, he manages to expand his business model into milk with different toppings, with ''[[LethalChef Ayato]]'' as his regular costumer. Even if he finds some of Ayato's requests bizarre.
* JustHereForTheFreeSnacks: [[PhysicalGod Ei]] knows what she came to Tomoki's Shop for, and fortunately for her, he is in the process of selling Dango Milk. This actually helped boost his sales to the point the Traveler can buy it from him.

!!Ritou
A port town on the western end of Narukami Island and the main access point for people going in and out of Inazuma, as well as the headquarters of the Kanjou Commission.

!Kannazuka
The easternmost of the twin islands (alongside Yashiori) that lay on the frontline of the civil war between the Shogunate and Watatsumi, with the former currently securing the island, in particular the Mikage Furnace in Tatarasuna island to the south, which recently suffered an overload of the Tatarigami powering it, forcing most of the islanders to flee elsewhere.

[[folder:Kaoru]]
!!Hanayama Kaoru
A Tatarasuna islander and florist evacuated following the malfunction of the Mikage Furnace. Once the Furnace was stabilized, she was among the first islanders to return out of worry over her flowers.

* GreenThumb: She loves flowers, and tends to them regularly. She even refused Xavier's request to shoot a film there because the flowers might get trampled.
* MeaningfulName: Her surname, Hanayama (花山) means "flower mountain," befitting a flower enthusiast.

!Yashiori
The other twin island on the frontline of the Inazuman civil war, which took a severe toll on its mining industry and forced its residence to flee elsewhere safer, leaving a few stragglers apart from Watatsumi islanders, specifically the Sangonomiya Resistance, who hold the island sacred as the site where their patron deity Orobashi was martyred at the hands of the Raiden Shogun.


[[folder:Granny Oni]]
!!Granny Oni
A Yashiori islander who took care of Itto during his childhood.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Granny Oni is only nicknamed as such due to being one of the few humans in Yashiori who would take care of Itto, where most of her fellow villagers discriminated upon him for his oni lineage.
* SacredHospitality: Aside Itto, she is now taking care of Daisuke, whom Itto challenges him a Onikabuto fighting.

[[folder:Kaji]]
!!Kaji

A Yashiori islander and former worker of the Jakotsu mines. He's the quest giver of the "Orobashi's Legacy" World Quest series.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As the quest giver of the "Orobashi's Legacy" series, completing it clears the skies of Yashiori and vanquishes the Tatarigami for good. That said, the Tatarigami doesn't completely go away from enemies who are already infected ''before'' you take this quest.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Discussed. After you cleared "Orobashi's Legacy", Kaji takes refuge in the Kujou Encampment and mentions that the Shogunate forces wouldn't really believe that it's the combined efforts of both him and the Traveler that helped clear the Tatarigami and would just credit the Shogun for it instead. Kaji personally doesn't care as long as the Tatarigami no longer plagues his homeland.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: After finding notes about how radicals within the Sangonomiya Resistance had destroyed the wards that hold off the Tatarigami [[spoiler:at the suggestion of their Mondstadtian ally Nathan, who is much later revealed to be a Fatui saboteur]], he decided to do something about vanquishing the Tatarigami and had been trying to get help with little success until the Traveler came by. Without him, the Traveler wouldn't have found a way to clear off the Tatarigami that plagued Yashiori.

[[folder:Washizu]]
!!Washizu

Former chief of the ghost village of Higi and its only remaining citizen. He's found meditating at a lone shrine near Serpent's Head.
----
* EldritchAbomination: Describes the entity of the shrine as [[spoiler: having "Eighteen pairs of blood-red eyes! Thousands of sharp, venomous fangs! Countless mouths and numberless tongues, ever thirsting after blood!"]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: {{Downplayed}}. Washizu tells the Traveler to pray continuously at the shrine, and to try and hear the shrine entity's voice. On the fourth day, the Traveler does, indeed, hear a voice -- [[spoiler:a voice that warns them about Washizu sneaking up on them, leading to the Traveler killing Washizu in self-defense]].
* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler: He makes constant references to the need to keep the shrine entity that instructs him happy through regular offerings. After defeating him, you can opt to uncover an incomplete registry of names in Higi Village that starts out as a census of the village's residents, but then descends into chronicling the names of his sacrificial victims.]]
* MadnessMantra: [[spoiler: The third day of praying ends with him repeating "Please forgive me..." over and over. The fourth day has him chant "Continue to endure... Continue to worship..." as encouragement for the Traveler to continue praying.]]
* {{Permadeath}}: [[spoiler:A NPC example. By the fourth day of the shrine praying quest, Washizu makes his move and attempts to kill the Traveler as a sacrifice to the entity of the shrine. However, in self-defence, the Traveler defeats him in battle and he dies instead, [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration and his death carries over for the rest of the game]]]].
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Strongly Implied. His incomplete register reveals his slow descent into madness as each of the villagers succumbed to the Tatarigami, which eventually culminates in him killing off the remaining villagers as sacrifices]].
* SerialKiller: [[spoiler:Fits most of the criteria, being an insane lunatic who slaughtered his entire village and any unlucky bystanders as sacrifices to the god of the shrine, even making a list of his victims that the Traveler can find. Chouji's mother and the Traveler would potentially have been the next victims of his killing spree.]]
* SoleSurvivor: He's the only member of Higi Village left after all other villagers died from the Tatarigami.
* TerseTalker: Starts off as one during the first few interactions with him. [[spoiler: He becomes more incensed and verbose as you continue to pray at the shrine each day, culminating in feverish rhapsodies of the shrine entity's power and his duty towards continuing to appease it.]]
[[/folder]]

!Watatsumi
->See their individual page [[Characters/GenshinImpactWatatsumi here]].

!Seirai
[[folder:Neko]]
!!Neko
A talking cat and provisional guardian of the Asase Shrine in Seirai Island, who is trying to restore the Shrine to its former glory in anticipation for the return of her master, Asase Hibiki. She is the quest giver of the "Neko Is a Cat" World Quest series.
----
* ADogNamedDog: Downplayed; Neko's name is homophonous to the Japanese word meaning "cat," but uses different characters that mean "sleeping child."
* DramaticIrony: If the players have read the lore, they will know that the person Neko is waiting for, Asase Hibiki, was a historical figure that is likely long dead by the present time. Even when told outright that Hibiki lived four to five hundred years ago, Neko does not make the connection that Hibiki is dead because as a cat she has no comprehension of time.
* IWillWaitForYou: Neko is dutifully waiting for her master Hibiki to return and believes that renovating/restoring the Asase Shrine will cause Hibiki to someday return once business is booming.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Neko requests the Traveler's help to repair her shrine since as a cat, there is only so much Neko can accomplish with her paws alone.
* TalkingAnimal: Unlike the [[{{Ventriloquism}} stunt]] Thoma pulled with Taroumaru in Act I, Neko is an actual talking cat who the Traveler meets in Seirai Island.
[[/folder]]
!Tsurumi
A fog-shrouded island on the southernmost end of the Inazuman archipelago, once home to an ancient civilization that worshipped Kanna Kapatcir, a thunderbird goddess.

[[folder:The Boatman '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]
!!The Boatman

A spirit responsible for leading the spirits of Tsurumi Island to the afterlife.
----
* BeleagueredAssistant: His lamentations are primarily because the "golden lady" is upset with his failure to pass the souls of Tsurumi Island on.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He speaks in riddles and only seems vaguely aware of the Traveler as it is not yet their time to pass.
* DontFearTheReaper: He's strange, but overall not unpleasant. He will not force anyone to pass on, merely lamenting that he cannot leave until everyone agrees to go.
* TheFerryman: He is meant to guide the souls of Tsurumi Island's residents to the afterlife.
* NumberTwo: He is second-in-command to a mysterious "golden lady", possibly the god of death.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ruu '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]
!!Ruu

A little boy found on Tsurumi Island who is seemingly one of the last residents living there. He guides the Traveler across the island in his preparation for the ceremony to appease the Thunderbird Kanna Kapatcir.
----
* TheChosenOne: He was chosen by his tribe to be [[HumanSacrifice sacrificed]] to appease the Thunderbird, because they believed that the favor the Thunderbird showed him made him a worthy sacrifice. Because of this, Ruu can perceive the elements when no one else in his people can.
* DeadAllAlong: Ruu is already long dead as a result of being sacrificed by his people to Kapatcir thousands of years ago, so the current Ruu the Traveler and Paimon interact with is his lingering spirit sustained by the leyline disorder post-destruction. Ruu's existence is so tied to Tsurumi Island itself that he simply cannot leave it without touching one of Katpatcir's feathers to act as a temporary vessel, and even then, merely leaving the island was enough to tire him out, implying his spirit cannot last for very long once out of the island.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When the Thunderbird, who he named Kanna Kapatcir, began to befriend Ruu and treated him with kindness, he and the islanders came under the impression that she wanted him as a HumanSacrifice to appease her, when she was simply glad to have a friend. Ruu himself further suffers this after Kapatcir destroys Tsurumi Island and curses it in outrage; it doesn't seem to occur to Ruu that she was upset at his death and subsequent broken promise to sing for her again, but that the ritual went wrong somehow, and so he spent the GroundhogDayLoop plaguing the island to do the sacrifice over and over again thinking that getting it "right" would fix things.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Ever since the incident when Kapatcir went berserk and destroyed Tsurumi Island and its inhabitants in a blind rage for killing Ruu, Ruu became trapped in a never-ending cycle caused by the leyline disorder where he was doomed to repeat the same events leading up to the disaster. No matter how many times he tried to rectify his mistakes, each repeat of the ceremony ends in failure, even when getting help from outlanders that manage to arrive on the island. Only by singing to her once again on Seirai Island can he finally break the cycle.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Feeling that he's only a child, the Traveler and Paimon have to lie to him when he asked where Kapatcir is, saying that she's on Seirai Island. In truth, she's long dead, and the Thunder Manifestation is what's left of her. Though when they go to Seirai, he says that he figured out about what happened to him and to Kapatcir.
* StupidSacrifice: He willingly allowed himself to be offered as a HumanSacrifice to the Thunderbird to help his tribe, unaware that not only did Kapatcir not care about the sacrifices, but that sacrificing himself after befriending her would do nothing but upset her.
* TagAlongKid: He tags along with the Traveler throughout the Tsurumi Island investigation quests and asks for their help in preparing for the ceremony.
* VagueAge: Despite being a child, when the Traveler asks how long Ruu has been on Tsurumi Island, he says he's been there for over a thousand years, with his age being called into question due to the people of the island telling yearly passes through thunderstorms instead of the usual day-night cycle because of the perpetual fog. This is justified because he's a lingering spirit trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop.
* WhatTheHellHero: Calls out the Traveler for destroying the Thunderbird Perches and ruining the ceremony, even though the Traveler is only trying to save Ruu from getting sacrificed and end the neverending cycle of the leyline disorder.
* WowingCthulhu: His BeautifulSingingVoice captivated Kapatcir, who claimed that she also had heard the song of the "dragon of the far north". He promises to sing to her again if they meet each other again. This is partly why she flies into an uncontrollable and intense rage after Ruu was sacrificed, regretting that he can never fulfill his promise to her.

->''"Every moment of the summer festival is a moving tale. Those who meet under the light of fireworks grow up, mature, and grow old. When they set off the same fireworks as they did in the beginning, the skies reflect that same image from years ago... Fireworks are not eternal, but I believe that the wonderful emotions behind them should walk alongside Inazuma into eternity."''\\\

'''Affiliation:''' Naganohara Fireworks\\\

Inazuma's best pyrotechnician and current proprietress of Naganohara Fireworks. Friendly and passionate, she makes a point of helping anyone she comes across.\\
\\
Much like the fireworks she makes, Yoimiya combines agility and explosive flair, with a unique ability to further charge up her shots into up to three "Kindling Arrows" that home in on nearby enemies. Her Elemental Skill, ''Niwabi Fire-Dance'', summons the "Niwabi Enshou," a ring of saltpeter that turns all her subsequent shots into Pyro-elemental "Blazing Arrows" in exchange for being unable to fire Kindling Arrows, while her Elemental Burst, ''Ryuukin Saxifrage'', has her rain down a barrage of fireworks on her enemies, one of which would be marked with an "Aurous Blaze," which will trigger wide-ranging explosions whenever they are hit by any of Yoimiya's allies, and which can be transferred to other enemies if the first marked opponent is defeated before its timer runs out.\\
\\
As Yoimiya whips out increasingly bigger and brighter fireworks, the Niwabi Enshou gains the ability to temporarily allow her to build up stacks of energy that increase her Pyro Damage Bonus, and ''Ryuukin Saxifrage'' can now temporarily increase her allies' Attack, with further boosts based on the number of the aforementioned stacks. Once she brings out the biggest and brightest of them all, the Aurous Blaze gains the ability to temporarily boost Yoimiya's Attack whenever the marked enemy is defeated, in addition to an extended duration and a reduction to the cooldown time of ''Niwabi Fire-Dance'' whenever it detonates; the active character (not just Yoimiya) gains a temporary boost to their Pyro Damage Bonus whenever their Pyro-aligned attacks score critical hits; and the Niwabi Enshou can now randomly give Yoimiya the ability to fire an additional, less potent Blazing Arrow.\\
\\
Yoimiya can only be obtained when the ''Tapestry of Golden Flames'' Character Event Wish is active.

[[folder:Ayaka's Three Wishes]]
!!Tejima, Kurosawa Kyounosuke, and Domon
->'''Tejima voiced by:''' Creator/DamanMills (English)
->'''Domon voiced by:''' Creator/MattShipman (English)
Three former allogenes who fell victim to the Raiden Shogun's Vision Hunt Decree, and as a result their lives took a turn for the worse after being stripped of their dreams and ambitions. The Traveler goes to help them at Kamisato Ayaka's request so that they can see the damage the Vision Hunt Decree has on Inazuma's Vision bearers.

* BelatedHappyEnding: Even though the Traveler managed to help them cope and put their life back on track after they lose their Visions, they all still remain broken on the inside and cannot truly recover unless they get their Visions back. Subverted following the abolishment of the Vision Hunt Decree, and their Visions are returned allowing for Tejima and Kurosawa to properly recover, though in Domon's case his ambitions had changed during the period he lost his Vision so he wasn't as affected when he got his back. [[spoiler:By the end of the Inazuma Archon Quest, they regain their senses along with their Visions, and are last seen sharing a drink.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: All three of them used to possess Visions, granting them the godlike ability to manipulate the Elements of Teyvat only to lose them to the Vision Hunt Decree.
* FateWorseThanDeath: The Traveler certainly believes so after witnessing how badly losing a Vision can do to their wielder: loss of memories, death of personality, complete change in lifestyle, and how said changes affects the people important to them.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Domon's senior Anzai managed to bring Domon back down to earth after telling him the truth about their duel and reminding him that Domon has disciples he must guide and be a good example to.
* HonorBeforeReason: All three are good men with relatively harmless ambitions that definitely didn't deserve to have their Visions seized, but it would be wrong to pin ''all'' the blame for their resulting predicaments on the Shogun:
** Tejima wanted to wait for somebody, and to that end he settled down in Konda Village and recorded his daily life so they could catch up once they met again. While he is genuinely a good neighbor during his stay, he doesn't have enough attachment to the village to stay when his memories of that person are taken. This realization sticks even after he reclaims his Vision, which results in him pursuing his ambition more proactively by trying to find them.
** Kurosawa decided to help Inazuma's country folk by creating "emergency provisions" so they could feed themselves during food scarcities. While a noble idea in and of itself, he was also paying for those provisions out of pocket, which ruined him financially when the cost of food went up. Even though this state of affairs was growing more and more unsustainable, he hid the truth and kept accruing debt instead finding a long-term solution, such as lobbying for a government-funded program to accomplish the same. Since he is the sole lynchpin, it all falls apart should anything prevent him from continuing. Losing the pertinent memories just happened to be that reason.
** Domon was haunted by the idea that he had crushed the dreams of so many aspiring swordmasters on his quest to being the greatest, but chose to repress his inner demons via force of will rather instead of dealing with them in a healthy fashion. That talk with Anzai, while brought on by the emotional breakdown that losing his Vision created, was clearly something he had needed for a long time.
* InformedEquipment: [[spoiler:After the Vision Hunt Decree was abolished, it is said that they managed to get their Vision back. Despite this, their Vision isn't present on their person and generic [=NPCs=] carrying Visions were not introduced until ''Transient Dreams''.]]
* IWillWaitForYou: Tejima's reason for sticking around in Konda Village was to wait for somebody he got separated from in a conflict. Being reminded of this by the Traveler made him decide to continue waiting, even if he can no longer remember who he was waiting for or if she can even recognize him. After getting his Vision and memories back, Tejima decides he’s waited long enough and leave Konda Village anyway to actively search for his loved one.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Losing their visions causes their wielders to lose memories relevant to their former ambitions, leaving behind a gaping hole in their memories, [[DeathOfPersonality causing them to become completely different people]].
* NiceGuy: Kurosawa turned out to be this while he had his Vision, going out of his way to provide for the needy using his own salary and amassing a massive debt after food prices started to rise to continue his charity.
* TheParanoiac: Domon started hallucinating about all the people he defeated and stripped of their ambitions coming back to take their revenge. It got so bad that his disciples believed he was being possessed and called for shrine maidens from the Grand Narukami Shrine to exorcise him.
* PassingTheTorch: After getting talked down to by his senior disciple in the Shisui Meikyu Art, Anzai, Domon decides to pass down his ambition of becoming the greatest swordsman to his own students.
* PerpetualPoverty: Kurosawa is always poor since he spends his Mora for others at his own expense. He even has a piling stack of IOU’s in his shack that he owes to Aoi for the rations he couldn’t pay off.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Domon was only a poor sap who suffered a breakdown after he lost his Vision, but his plight allowed the Traveler and Yae Miko to meet and even sets up the theme of [[YouCannotKillAnIdea passing down one's ambitions to other people.]]
* TragicKeepsake: Kurosawa's sword was the only thing his late father left him. Reading the poem on the blade allows Kurosawa to vaguely recall his teachings even with his memories stripped.
* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: According to Ei, the reason they turned out the way they did after losing their Visions is because they relied on it as a crutch.

[[folder:"Black Shadow"]]
!!"Black Shadow"/[[spoiler:Kageroumaru]]
A ''ninken'' and focus of the "Bantan Sango Case Files: The Warrior Dog" event that details a lot of animal disappearances.

* AntiVillain: The reason he has the Treasure Hoarders kidnap the cats and dogs around Inazuma City? [[spoiler:He wanted to train them so that they are able to take care and protect themselves, which stemmed from Kageroumaru's experience from having had to live and survive on his own in Higi Village after no one came for him due to being deserted and the Tatarigami leaking out.]]
* ArcVillain: He is the primary focus for the Traveler and Ryuuji while they find the missing animals around Inazuma City.
* BreakMeter: [[spoiler:Subtle, but during his boss fight, dealing certain damage to him or countering his flurry of slashes by attacking with melee will cause him to be stunned for a few minutes before he recovers.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:After his defeat during the duel with the Traveler, he decides to become their ninken much to their surprise.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: All of the Canine Bunshins under Black Shadow have the same scar visible on their left eye despite being individuals. [[spoiler:This is because they happen to be [[MesACrowd shadow clones]] made by Kageroumaru himself and really wants to test the Traveler's capabilities as a ninja.]]
* GreenThumb: One of the Canine Bunshin's abilities is to unleash a Dendro vine that entraps their foes inside leaving them unable to escape and vulnerable to further attacks, though thankfully, the vines he creates are harmless. [[spoiler:Kageroumaru, as a boss fight lacks this move.]]
* LordBritishPostulate: Stealth and distraction is advised to get around them, but some players want to test their capabilities against them. In addition to utilizing a wide variety of attacks, they happen to boast a ''massive'' HP that reach millions and will take a whole minute or an hour to deplete them completely.
* NoNameGiven: Since he is unnamed, Ryuuji calls him "Black Shadow" though Paimon insists that he be called "Blade Pup". [[spoiler:His real name is only revealed after reading a letter that his owner wrote.]]
* PatrollingMook: His Canine Bunshins serve as this since the Traveler must get around them to release the trapped animals from inside the cage without being spotted. Failure to do so will have them attack the Traveler with powerful attacks at their disposal until they leave.
* ShockAndAwe: Two of the Canine Bunshin's attacks involve using a ninjato to unleash lightning waves, or stab the ground to unleash an electric shockwave in an [=AoE=]. [[spoiler:As Kageroumaru, he uses all of the mentioned attacks but has an additional move where he unleashes a thunderous [[SwordBeam SwordBeams]] in an arc.]]
* StuffBlowingUp: The Canine Bunshin's counterattack has them transform into a Geo statue while they escape to another location. After a few seconds it will explode and deal [=AoE=] Pyro damage. [[spoiler:This attack is also used by Kageroumaru himself during his boss fight.]]

[[folder:Heihachi]]
!!Heihachi
An unpleasant individual who is constantly keeping an eye on Ramsay, a Snezhnayan merchant.

* BigotWithABadge: Given on how he is on official business, and views Ramsay as a suspect, he is likely an undercover police from the Tenryou Commission. If so, he is downright bigoted and prejudiced against outlanders (read: foreigners) and view them all as a threat for the crime of setting foot on Inazuma, and blames them for the problems the nation is facing. It is implied that he is the one who've written a message on the Inazuma Commercial Street Bulletin Board stating that, were it for him, he would've expelled all of the outlanders on Inazuman soil.
* BullyingADragon: Insults Komore Teahouse and their tea... within ''her'' earshot. He's lucky that Kozue didn't decide to confront and teach him a lesson in manners.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Whenever the Traveler confronts him in the "International Travel Log" World Quest, he has the '''gall''' to deny to the Traveler that he is stalking Ramsay, even accusing them of being paranoid, nevermind that he is stalking an ''innocent'' Snezhnayan for no reason other than out of petty prejudice.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Accuses the Traveler of being paranoid for being confrontational if interacted with during the World Quest... which, by the way, fits the "paranoid" criteria on him more than the Traveler does.
* {{Jerkass}}: While not on Little Que'er's level, he is still one of the more unpleasant non-story [=NPCs=]; he talks thrash about the Komore Teahouse by referring to it as a "straw hut" and insults their tea, and treats outlanders with contempt. [[spoiler:By the end of Chapter II, he is also the one of the few individuals who doesn't treat the Traveler with respect, when anyone else (including the ''Raiden Shogun'' herself) virtually view them as a savior.]]
* NoSocialSkills: Cannot interact with anyone without acting like a jerk, and (unlike Chuyi, under Yelan's management) doesn't bother adjusting his behavior when talking to others.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: Is always stalking Ramsay no matter where the latter goes.

[[folder:Ikkei]]
!!Kayabuki Ikkei
->'''Voiced by:''' Edward A. Mendoza (English)

A self-publishing author, known for such works as ''Outlander Brigade!'' and ''Hyakunin Ikki: The Greatest Battle'', he is the event exclusive NPC of "Hyakunin Ikki" event.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Klee calls him Kawabunga Icky during Irodori Festival.
* ButtMonkey: His manuscript for his novel gets rejected to the point that the editor noted that he would be more successful as a comedian, and he hasn't sold a single ''Outlander Brigade!'' novel during "Hues of the Violet Garden."
* TheCameo: Normally a character who shows up in the titular "Hyakunin Ikki" event, he makes an appearance in "Hues of the Violet Garden" and plays a minor role in a storyline involving Yoimiya and Klee.

[[folder:Kama]]
!!Kama
A boatman living in Ritou and a distant descendant of the ancient islanders of Tsurumi. He ferries people in and out of Tsurumi, such as Sumida in the past and the Traveler and Paimon in the present.

* BrutalHonesty: When Sumida asks him to review her pitch for her novel abot [[spoiler:a descendant of refugees from Tsurumi returning to cleanse of the island of its GroundhogDayLoop curse by posing as one of the ancient islanders]], Kama bluntly tells her it does not hold as much water as the other novels she recommended him, such as the ''Toki Alley Tales'' series, much less award-winning.
* IdenticalGrandson: During the Travler and Paimon's second expedition to Tsurumi, they use the strange pinion they found at Seirai, which they learn from Ruu is one of Kanna Kapatcir's feathers, on a bird statue, which projects the memories of a man who bore a strong resemblance to Kama burying a Maushiro and swearing to leave the island forever. At the start of the third, they confront Kama about it, who suspects that they may have seen his ancestor, who, according his family's oral tradition, left in disillusionment over [[spoiler:his fellow islanders turning to HumanSacrifice]].
* TheQuietOne: Kama is a man of few words, and is not one to frequently talk about his family background or tales about Tsurumi unless he is asked.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Having been born centuries after his ancestor left Tsurumi, Kama has little connections to the island apart from oral accounts passed onto his family for generations and a visit in his youth with his late father. It is to the point that [[spoiler:when he joins the Traveler and Paimon in the fourth part of "Through the Mists" he admits that he did so for reasons ranging between being an obligation to help the Traveler, empathy for the islanders, and his need to break free from his family's cursed past]].
* YouDidntAsk: When the Traveler and Paimon, and later Sumida, ask him why he did not reveal himself to be a descendant of Tsurumi islanders sooner, he responds with this ''ad verbum''.

[[folder:Katou Brothers]]
!!The Katou Brothers, Youhei and Shingou
->'''Katou Youhei Voiced By''': Henry Schrader (English)
->'''Katou Shingo Voiced By''': Calvin Joyal (English)
Two brothers who dreamed of establishing their own dojo. After Shingou was kicked out from the Meikyou Shisui Arts Dojo, Youhei witnessed the popularity of the book titled ''A Firsthand Guide to Summoning Spirits'', so they performed the summoning ritual to perform a swordmanship mastery. When things went wrong, Youhei ended up pleading with Yae Miko to perform an exorcism on Shingo.

* DemonicPossession: Katou Shingo was possessed by [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Arakawa Kouji]], the Ancient spirit of The Oni in Samurai armour.
* GoneHorriblyRight: The brothers are performing a summoning ritual that would make him a great swordfighter that would compete against Domon's students. However, the ritual worked and Shingou becomes a BloodKnight as a result, and Youhei fears his brother's safety, have been begging Yae Miko for help for 5 days.

[[folder:Kids Kujirai]]
!!Kids Kujirai
Eight young boys and identical brothers scattered throughout Inazuma, who challenge passersby to a game of temari, where they must find the eponymous ball within a time limit.

* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: The Kid Kujirai are multiple children in seperate locations.

[[folder:Masakatsu]]
!!Masakatsu
A craftsman who has been creating fake Visions to fool Shogunate officers and protect Vision wielders from the Vision Hunt Decree.

* CallBack: The Traveler recalls Venti's fake Vision when Ayaka mentions how they had Masakatsu craft the fake Visions to defend their Visions from the Raiden Shogun, with one of the Traveler's voice dialog wondering if Masakatsu's where Venti got his fake Vision from.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Is subjected to one by the two Tenryou soldiers who beat him savagely to teach him a lesson. Kujou Sara isn't pleased with their actions.
* DistressedDude: As he can make and craft convincingly real-looking fake Visions, the Raiden Shogun had captured him.
* MasterForger: Is able to make fake Visions that are indistinguishable from the real thing to give it to the Shogunate forces in place of their actual Visions. Unfortunately, the Tenryou Commission caught wind of this and had him arrested.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tomoki]]
!!Tomoki
An Inazuman vendor who specializes in creative cooking.

* BornInTheWrongCentury: His creative cooking has a lot of food that could blend with modern food trends (like creating flavored milk and essentially bubble tea), but for the people of Inazuma it's just weird combinations.
* CelebrityEndorsement: Ei loves his product and orders a batch of it. Considering [[GodEmperor what]] [[PhysicalGod she]] [[GodOfThunder is]], that's pretty about as high as this trope can go.
* CordonBleughChef: When the Traveler arrives to Inazuma, he explains that his "Creative cooking" isn't popular because people find weird some of his creations. Once the Shogun tries and actually likes his Dango Milk, he manages to expand his business model into milk with different toppings, with ''[[LethalChef Ayato]]'' as his regular costumer. Even if he finds some of Ayato's requests bizarre.
* JustHereForTheFreeSnacks: [[PhysicalGod Ei]] knows what she came to Tomoki's Shop for, and fortunately for her, he is in the process of selling Dango Milk. This actually helped boost his sales to the point the Traveler can buy it from him.

%%!!Ritou
%%A port town on the western end of Narukami Island and the main access point for people going in and out of Inazuma, as well as the headquarters of the Kanjou Commission.

!Watatsumi
->See their individual page [[Characters/GenshinImpactWatatsumi here]].

!Kannazuka
The easternmost of the twin islands (alongside Yashiori) that lay on the frontline of the civil war between the Shogunate and Watatsumi, with the former currently securing the island, in particular the Mikage Furnace in Tatarasuna island to the south, which recently suffered an overload of the Tatarigami powering it, forcing most of the islanders to flee elsewhere.

[[folder:Kaoru]]
!!Hanayama Kaoru
A Tatarasuna islander and florist evacuated following the malfunction of the Mikage Furnace. Once the Furnace was stabilized, she was among the first islanders to return out of worry over her flowers.

* GreenThumb: She loves flowers, and tends to them regularly. She even refused Xavier's request to shoot a film there because the flowers might get trampled.
* MeaningfulName: Her surname, Hanayama (花山) means "flower mountain," befitting a flower enthusiast.

!Yashiori
The other twin island on the frontline of the Inazuman civil war, which took a severe toll on its mining industry and forced its residence to flee elsewhere safer, leaving a few stragglers apart from Watatsumi islanders, specifically the Sangonomiya Resistance, who hold the island sacred as the site where their patron deity Orobashi was martyred at the hands of the Raiden Shogun.

%%[[folder:Daisuke and His Family]]
%%!!Daisuke, Mizusu, and Sugimoto
%%A Yashiori islander whose family was taken by ronin. Granny Oni is currently taking care of him.
%%----
%%[[/folder]]

[[folder:Granny Oni]]
!!Granny Oni
A Yashiori islander who took care of Itto during his childhood.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Granny Oni is only nicknamed as such due to being one of the few humans in Yashiori who would take care of Itto, where most of her fellow villagers discriminated upon him for his oni lineage.
* SacredHospitality: Aside Itto, she is now taking care of Daisuke, whom Itto challenges him a Onikabuto fighting.

[[folder:Kaji]]
!!Kaji

A Yashiori islander and former worker of the Jakotsu mines. He's the quest giver of the "Orobashi's Legacy" World Quest series.
----
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As the quest giver of the "Orobashi's Legacy" series, completing it clears the skies of Yashiori and vanquishes the Tatarigami for good. That said, the Tatarigami doesn't completely go away from enemies who are already infected ''before'' you take this quest.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Discussed. After you cleared "Orobashi's Legacy", Kaji takes refuge in the Kujou Encampment and mentions that the Shogunate forces wouldn't really believe that it's the combined efforts of both him and the Traveler that helped clear the Tatarigami and would just credit the Shogun for it instead. Kaji personally doesn't care as long as the Tatarigami no longer plagues his homeland.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: After finding notes about how radicals within the Sangonomiya Resistance had destroyed the wards that hold off the Tatarigami [[spoiler:at the suggestion of their Mondstadtian ally Nathan, who is much later revealed to be a Fatui saboteur]], he decided to do something about vanquishing the Tatarigami and had been trying to get help with little success until the Traveler came by. Without him, the Traveler wouldn't have found a way to clear off the Tatarigami that plagued Yashiori.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Washizu]]
!!Washizu

Former chief of the ghost village of Higi and its only remaining citizen. He's found meditating at a lone shrine near Serpent's Head.
----
* EldritchAbomination: Describes the entity of the shrine as [[spoiler: having "Eighteen pairs of blood-red eyes! Thousands of sharp, venomous fangs! Countless mouths and numberless tongues, ever thirsting after blood!"]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: {{Downplayed}}. Washizu tells the Traveler to pray continuously at the shrine, and to try and hear the shrine entity's voice. On the fourth day, the Traveler does, indeed, hear a voice -- [[spoiler:a voice that warns them about Washizu sneaking up on them, leading to the Traveler killing Washizu in self-defense]].
* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler: He makes constant references to the need to keep the shrine entity that instructs him happy through regular offerings. After defeating him, you can opt to uncover an incomplete registry of names in Higi Village that starts out as a census of the village's residents, but then descends into chronicling the names of his sacrificial victims.]]
* MadnessMantra: [[spoiler: The third day of praying ends with him repeating "Please forgive me..." over and over. The fourth day has him chant "Continue to endure... Continue to worship..." as encouragement for the Traveler to continue praying.]]
* {{Permadeath}}: [[spoiler:A NPC example. By the fourth day of the shrine praying quest, Washizu makes his move and attempts to kill the Traveler as a sacrifice to the entity of the shrine. However, in self-defence, the Traveler defeats him in battle and he dies instead, [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration and his death carries over for the rest of the game]]]].
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Strongly Implied. His incomplete register reveals his slow descent into madness as each of the villagers succumbed to the Tatarigami, which eventually culminates in him killing off the remaining villagers as sacrifices]].
* SerialKiller: [[spoiler:Fits most of the criteria, being an insane lunatic who slaughtered his entire village and any unlucky bystanders as sacrifices to the god of the shrine, even making a list of his victims that the Traveler can find. Chouji's mother and the Traveler would potentially have been the next victims of his killing spree.]]
* SoleSurvivor: He's the only member of Higi Village left after all other villagers died from the Tatarigami.
* TerseTalker: Starts off as one during the first few interactions with him. [[spoiler: He becomes more incensed and verbose as you continue to pray at the shrine each day, culminating in feverish rhapsodies of the shrine entity's power and his duty towards continuing to appease it.]]
[[/folder]]
----
!Seirai
[[folder:Neko]]
!!Neko
A talking cat and provisional guardian of the Asase Shrine in Seirai Island, who is trying to restore the Shrine to its former glory in anticipation for the return of her master, Asase Hibiki. She is the quest giver of the "Neko Is a Cat" World Quest series.
----
* ADogNamedDog: Downplayed; Neko's name is homophonous to the Japanese word meaning "cat," but uses different characters that mean "sleeping child."
* DramaticIrony: If the players have read the lore, they will know that the person Neko is waiting for, Asase Hibiki, was a historical figure that is likely long dead by the present time. Even when told outright that Hibiki lived four to five hundred years ago, Neko does not make the connection that Hibiki is dead because as a cat she has no comprehension of time.
* IWillWaitForYou: Neko is dutifully waiting for her master Hibiki to return and believes that renovating/restoring the Asase Shrine will cause Hibiki to someday return once business is booming.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Neko requests the Traveler's help to repair her shrine since as a cat, there is only so much Neko can accomplish with her paws alone.
* TalkingAnimal: Unlike the [[{{Ventriloquism}} stunt]] Thoma pulled with Taroumaru in Act I, Neko is an actual talking cat who the Traveler meets in Seirai Island.
[[/folder]]
!Tsurumi
A fog-shrouded island on the southernmost end of the Inazuman archipelago, once home to an ancient civilization that worshipped Kanna Kapatcir, a thunderbird goddess.

[[folder:The Boatman '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]
!!The Boatman

A spirit responsible for leading the spirits of Tsurumi Island to the afterlife.
----
* BeleagueredAssistant: His lamentations are primarily because the "golden lady" is upset with his failure to pass the souls of Tsurumi Island on.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He speaks in riddles and only seems vaguely aware of the Traveler as it is not yet their time to pass.
* DontFearTheReaper: He's strange, but overall not unpleasant. He will not force anyone to pass on, merely lamenting that he cannot leave until everyone agrees to go.
* TheFerryman: He is meant to guide the souls of Tsurumi Island's residents to the afterlife.
* NumberTwo: He is second-in-command to a mysterious "golden lady", possibly the god of death.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ruu '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]
!!Ruu

A little boy found on Tsurumi Island who is seemingly one of the last residents living there. He guides the Traveler across the island in his preparation for the ceremony to appease the Thunderbird Kanna Kapatcir.
----
* TheChosenOne: He was chosen by his tribe to be [[HumanSacrifice sacrificed]] to appease the Thunderbird, because they believed that the favor the Thunderbird showed him made him a worthy sacrifice. Because of this, Ruu can perceive the elements when no one else in his people can.
* DeadAllAlong: Ruu is already long dead as a result of being sacrificed by his people to Kapatcir thousands of years ago, so the current Ruu the Traveler and Paimon interact with is his lingering spirit sustained by the leyline disorder post-destruction. Ruu's existence is so tied to Tsurumi Island itself that he simply cannot leave it without touching one of Katpatcir's feathers to act as a temporary vessel, and even then, merely leaving the island was enough to tire him out, implying his spirit cannot last for very long once out of the island.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When the Thunderbird, who he named Kanna Kapatcir, began to befriend Ruu and treated him with kindness, he and the islanders came under the impression that she wanted him as a HumanSacrifice to appease her, when she was simply glad to have a friend. Ruu himself further suffers this after Kapatcir destroys Tsurumi Island and curses it in outrage; it doesn't seem to occur to Ruu that she was upset at his death and subsequent broken promise to sing for her again, but that the ritual went wrong somehow, and so he spent the GroundhogDayLoop plaguing the island to do the sacrifice over and over again thinking that getting it "right" would fix things.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Ever since the incident when Kapatcir went berserk and destroyed Tsurumi Island and its inhabitants in a blind rage for killing Ruu, Ruu became trapped in a never-ending cycle caused by the leyline disorder where he was doomed to repeat the same events leading up to the disaster. No matter how many times he tried to rectify his mistakes, each repeat of the ceremony ends in failure, even when getting help from outlanders that manage to arrive on the island. Only by singing to her once again on Seirai Island can he finally break the cycle.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Feeling that he's only a child, the Traveler and Paimon have to lie to him when he asked where Kapatcir is, saying that she's on Seirai Island. In truth, she's long dead, and the Thunder Manifestation is what's left of her. Though when they go to Seirai, he says that he figured out about what happened to him and to Kapatcir.
* StupidSacrifice: He willingly allowed himself to be offered as a HumanSacrifice to the Thunderbird to help his tribe, unaware that not only did Kapatcir not care about the sacrifices, but that sacrificing himself after befriending her would do nothing but upset her.
* TagAlongKid: He tags along with the Traveler throughout the Tsurumi Island investigation quests and asks for their help in preparing for the ceremony.
* VagueAge: Despite being a child, when the Traveler asks how long Ruu has been on Tsurumi Island, he says he's been there for over a thousand years, with his age being called into question due to the people of the island telling yearly passes through thunderstorms instead of the usual day-night cycle because of the perpetual fog. This is justified because he's a lingering spirit trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop.
* WhatTheHellHero: Calls out the Traveler for destroying the Thunderbird Perches and ruining the ceremony, even though the Traveler is only trying to save Ruu from getting sacrificed and end the neverending cycle of the leyline disorder.
* WowingCthulhu: His BeautifulSingingVoice captivated Kapatcir, who claimed that she also had heard the song of the "dragon of the far north". He promises to sing to her again if they meet each other again. This is partly why she flies into an uncontrollable and intense rage after Ruu was sacrificed, regretting that he can never fulfill his promise to her.

A boisterous Oni and eponymous leader of a gang of miscreants who had his Vision taken by Kujou Sara prior to the Traveler's arrival at Inazuma. He often posts ridiculous demands for a rematch against Sara on Inazuma's bulletin boards, even long after recovering his Vision.\\

Onis are known for their ferocity in combat, and "The One and Oni" Itto certainly does his heritage proud with his fighting style encouraging him to pummel his enemies with charged attacks, in addition to an ability to maintain his attacking combos even when sprinting or sending Ushi, the Gang's bovine auxiliary, to distract his enemies. While normally his charged attack is a single-hit ''Saichimonji Slash'', he can hold up to five stacks of "Superlative Superstrength," generated every second and fourth hits of his combo, which are then consumed to power up his charged attacks into ''Arataki Kesagiri'', a series of up to five wild slashes with a negated stamina cost, where each consumed stack increases the number of hits. His Elemental Skill, ''Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!'', summons Ushi to draw enemies onto it (and whose location can be fixed in its held mode) and grant Itto the stacks whenever it is attacked or retreats after taking sufficient damage, while his Elemental Burst, ''Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!'', summons his inner "Raging Oni King" to transform his claymore into a ''kanabō'', or spiked war club, infusing all his regular attacks with a Geo effect that cannot be overwritten with elemental reactions and enhancing both his damage output (based on a fraction of his Defense stat) and attacking speed, as well as generating the stacks every first and third hit of his normal attack combo (hence ensuring all hits generate them), in exchange for a penalty to his Physical and Elemental Resistances.\\

When the going gets tough, so does Itto, in the form of ''Arataki Kesagiri'' gaining an increasing attacking speed depending on the number of stacks of Superlative Superstrength consumed, in addition to heightened flinching resistance as well as a damage boost based on a fraction of his Defense stat. Once Itto's blood is all fired up in the defense of his title as the strongest man in Inazuma, triggering ''Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!'' can now immediately confer a couple stacks onto Itto, with the rest gradually granted afterwards, in addition to a reduction to its cooldown time and restoration of some of his Energy depending on the number of additional Geo Vision holders in his party; the Raging Oni King state grants the party a boost to their Attack and Defense once it ends; and all his charged attacks gain increased Critical Damage, in addition to ''Arataki Kesagiri'' randomly negating the consumption of stacks of Superlative Superstrength, hence potentially increasing its number of hits.\\

Arataki Itto can only be obtained when the ''Oni's Royale'' Character Event Wish is active.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: During the second Archon Quest Interlude, when Xiao conveys a risky plan whereby he uses all his strength to force an opening into the Chasm's Bed so he can get everyone else out, he and Yelan get into an argument over whether he should do it. To stop their bickering, Itto listens to Ushi's summary of Xiao's plan and decides to use all of ''his'' might in one go to literally punch a hole through, believing wholeheartedly that this would solve everything and let them ''all'' escape rather than someone having to stay behind. [[spoiler:It doesn't quite work out that way; while it indeed rips open a new rift, it only leads into another area, but exploring it eventually leads them to the Fantastic Compass that Yanfei was seeking, which would prove pivotal in their escape.]]
* AcquaintedWithEmergencyServices: Not unlike Hu Tao with the Millelith, Itto is well known among the Tenryou Commission due to his antics, and outperforms her in the department, as he had experienced prison time; in fact, his Story Quest begins with him explaining that he has just gotten out of his landmark ''hundredth'' imprisonment.
* AnimalMotif:
** His Constellation, his horns, the way he wears his Vision around his neck like a cowbell, his HotBlooded personality, the priority he places on charged attacks, and the bovine companion he summons for his Elemental Skill conjure the image of a bull, a symbol of physical strength in Japanese culture and a fixture in ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tōgyū Tōgyū]]'', a form of bullfighting native to Okinawa and exported elsewhere in Japan, that is far less of a bloodsport and more of sumo match between bulls.
** In-universe example, as {{lampshaded}} during Itto's character quest, is Onikabuto, a species of bugs native to Inazuma. They have horns and look big and scary, but are in fact peaceful and never fight others on purpose. Additionally, kids often pick Onikabuto for bug fights, and Itto himself is both loved by kids and enjoys a brawl if he finds himself in one.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: The leader of the Arataki Gang as well as one of their strongest members and only Vision holders, who went OneManArmy on a group of Tenryou Commission soldiers before almost going even with Sara.
* BadassAdorable: He's a tall, handsome, and endearingly adorable {{Manchild}} of an oni, and he has the strength to back up his boasts.
* TheBeastmaster: His Elemental Skill summons Ushi, a bull once used for exorcising evil spirits.
* BeetleManiac: One of his favorite games is Beetle Fights, which consists of catching onikabuto and putting them in a ring to fight. Itto spends a lot of his free time playing Beetle Fights with his gang, local children, and even Ayato. A good way to grab his attention is to offer a big onikabuto.
** In his Story Quest, one of the missions is to find an onikabuto and help Itto with a beetle fight with a kid who is missing his parents.
** During Itto’s festival, one of the gifts sent by Thoma is a big box of onikabuto since he knows Itto would appreciate some beetle fights in his big event.
** In Heizou’s hangout, he tricks Itto into participating in his anti-scam PSA play by promising a big onikabuto. Heizou conveniently forgets to tell Itto that the picture is from a realistic model instead of a real one.
** He even organizes a tournament dedicated to this game, where the people participating are very serious about it.
** In his 2023 birthday letter, Itto sends 3 golden scarabs along with other goodies. According to Itto, they were part of a payment from a Sumeru merchant for Shinobu's legal assistance, which fascinated him at first sight.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Itto's antics is a constant source of hilarity in (and out-of-of) the universe, but this does not mean that he isn't dangerous if pushed. He once went OneManArmy on a group of Tenryou Commission officers out to confiscate his vision, only managing to be subdued by Kujou Sara once she stepped in.
* BigEater: Has an appetite as large as his personality. Itto won a ramen-eating contest against Yae Miko, despite the ramen containing tofu, which he is deathly allergic to. He also competes in sour plum and ramen-eating contests with Yoimiya.
* {{BFS}}: Wields a claymore as his primary weapon.
* BigShutUp: His response to [[spoiler:Takuya insisting that Itto leave him in the collapsing bandit hideout and save himself]].
-->''"Ah, shaddup, wouldya?!"''
* BornUnlucky: It's never outright stated, but in the lead-up to the beetle-fighting competition in his Story Quest it comes across as if he loses most of the time not because he's bad at the game, and more because he has awful luck. When he goes out looking for Onikabuto, HostileWeather scatters them, and it's difficult to find even one. Itto finds one that he knows is subpar and lies about it, but not long afterward Paimon finds a much better one that was hiding. Itto is forced to stick to his guns or look like a hypocrite. In one of his voice lines, Itto mentions that he's lost at least ''780'' times. This even applies to his allergies: his Character Story notes that because of how thin the oni bloodline has become, most oni these days have only mild reactions to beans, but Itto has severe reactions.
* BrainlessBeauty: Male example. Itto is a very muscular MrFanservice, but is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: InUniverse. During Heizou's Anti-Fraud play, where he's playing a Doushin in the process of getting conned, his character only realizes that he's being had after getting pulled along the whole while because of the fact that he's aware that he's in an anti-fraud play, and realizes everything else from there.
* BreakoutCharacter: Itto proved to be immensely popular among fans before we even met him thanks to his amusing interactions with Kujou Sara in Inazuma's bulletin boards, and said popularity has kept going strong after we finally met the One and Oni in person. Thus far, he's had a quest about his and his gang's antics in the "Hues of Violet Garden" event; was a major supporting character in the Perilous Trail series Interlude quests; was the InUniverse organizer of the "The Almighty Arataki Great and Glorious Drumalong" and the "Almighty Arataki Extraordinary and Exhilarating Extreme Beetle Brawl"; was once again a major supporting character in the "Akitsu Kimodameshi" event in 3.3; and has cameoed in two Hangout Events[[note]] Kuki Shinobu's and Heizou's[[/note]], making him tied with Yae Miko for the most Hangout cameos of any 5-star character thus far, with Miko having cameoed in Shinobu's and Gorou's.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: An loud and bombastic {{oni}} who wields {{BFS}}s in battle and [[FaceOfAThug looks intimidating]], but is an all-around NiceGuy, swell to be around with, a loyal friend and especially, [[FriendToAllChildren loved by the children of Inazuma]], a feeling he reciprocates. Itto even has a few moments of CutenessProximity, and he loves Granny Oni, the person who adopted him.
* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Itto isn't the sharpest tool in the drawer and prefers to use his fists and weapons to do the talking. Fitting his demeanor and race, he uses a ''kanabō'' made of Geo energy for his Elemental Burst that encapsulates just about everything about him.
* ButtMonkey: Often when he appears, Itto gets the short end of the stick, either due to his own HotBlooded and oftentimes incompetent behavior, or [[BornUnlucky just plain bad luck]].
** In his character trailer he waxes on about how his Vision was likely going to be on the wings of the Statue of the Omnipotent God, given how much the Tenryou Commission struggled to take it from him... only for one of his gang members to meekly report it was hidden on the lower pedestal, out of sight.
** In his own Story Quest, as he searches for beetles he calls himself an expert on knowing how to get the best Onikabutos for the games, only for Paimon to find a larger and more aggressive beetle than the one he found.
** In an Irodori Festival Quest, he challenges the Traveler to a volunteering competition over the cut-out board he and his gang are hogging under Thoma's suggestion, with the added incentive of winning netting them an event-exclusive drink they came to get but couldn't get their hands on. Despite Itto winning, he learns too late from the Traveler that the drink contained soy milk after gulping it all down, causing him to collapse. Evidently, even victory doesn't make Itto any less of this.
** During the second Archon Quest Interlude, he gets spooked by a specter, and later on falls down a trap hole, landing on his bottom.
** For the "Almighty Arataki Great and Glorious Drumalong Festival" event, he gets swindled for what appears to be a normal drum for around 80,000 mora, and even that was bargained down from a whopping ''8 million'', the merchant claiming it was a relic. When no one shows up aside from the Traveler, Yoimiya, and [[TheRival Kujou Sara]], Itto decides to send out fliers to attract a bigger crowd, even though his festival got the attention of more than a few high-profile individuals. He ends up getting arrested and jailed, his festival was suspended indefinitely for the duration of his sentence.
* CarryABigStick: Fittingly for an oni, he transforms his claymore into a ''kanabō'' made of Geo energy for his Elemental Burst.
* CaptainOblivious: Itto is not the smartest person around, since he hasn’t been able to figure some things out about his friends.
** He doesn't know "Bro Ayato" is actually the Yashiro Commissioner, despite the fact that the latter once gave him a deluxe set of Genius Invokation TCG for his festival, or how in the "Akitsu Kimodameshi" event, Ayato clearly is the one in charge of the Test of Courage event and later puts a festival in a few hours for the youkai. The Traveler and Paimon decide not to tell Itto yet about who Ayato really is.
** After meeting Gorou at the end of the "Akitsu Kimodameshi" event, Itto casually mentions that he wrote a letter to Ms. Hina about a big fish, and Gorou mentions that he works part-time as a consultant for the Yae Publishing House, and he also got a letter about a big fish. Itto then comes to the conclusion that... [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he has new competition at fishing]], hence sparing the Traveler and Paimon the trouble of sorting out [[spoiler:the potential fallout from "Ms. Hina" being exposed as an alias Yae Miko made for Gorou]].
* CompetitionFreak: Described as extremely competitive and having a strong aversion to losing. Yoimiya recounts that whenever they play with the local children, he often challenges her to competitions. Then there's his apparent obsession with having a rematch against Kujou Sara after she bested him in combat. And the main reason he won a ramen eating contest against Yae Miko, ''despite being allergic to tofu'' (said ramen having as a main ingredient ''fried tofu'' as garnish), is because of his determination to win. He spent the following month in bed, but he still won the contest and the stool.
* CooldownManipulation: His second Constellation upgrade, ''Gather 'Round, It's a Brawl!'', shaves 1.5 seconds off the cooldown time of ''Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!'' by 1.5 seconds, as well as restores 6 Energy upon using the Burst, for every Geo Vision-holding ally present (to a maximum of 4.5 seconds [hence reducing the cooldown from 18 seconds to 13.5] and 18 Energy).
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While Itto [[FaceOfAThug may look intimidating]], spending even a second around him quickly makes it clear that he's a complete goofball with a bad case of SmallNameBigEgo. However, this ''doesn't'' mean he should be underestimated, as he's still a powerful Vision holder who went OneManArmy on a large group of Tenryou Commission officers when they tried taking his Vision to the point that Kujou Sara had to step in, and his Oni heritage makes him strong enough to [[spoiler:shatter a massive boulder in one punch]]. This is [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration well illustrated in gameplay]], where he'll likely only deal low damage with his basic attacks, but will positively shred through enemies once he activates his Burst ''and'' performs his special charged attacks.
* CutenessProximity: In his voice line about Sayu, he wants to pat her head so badly because he thinks she's adorable. He also feels warm and fuzzy for Gorou.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Wears a black long coat and has a downright intimidating {{face|OfAThug}}, and yet he's [[NiceGuy swell as heck]].
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Wanting Xiao and Yelan to stop arguing about whether or not to let the former burn up all his strength in a risky plan to let everyone else escape the Chasm's Bed, Itto takes it upon himself to use all ''his'' strength to break a hole in the EldritchLocation they were trapped in, confidently believing that he'd be able to get rid of all their problems with this one blow. The result of that punch is a sizable rift that is clearly not supposed to be there, and it doesn't close up despite the domain having previously demonstrated the ability to cut off connections between spaces that it deems inconvenient. [[spoiler:While it's not an immediate way out, the area it leads to gives Yelan and Xiao answers to what happened to the people they were looking for, and also eventually results in them finding the Fantastic Compass, which they use to facilitate their escape. With that one punch, Itto indeed managed to solve everyone's problems.]]
* DoggedNiceGuy: Non-romantic example. In the lead-up to the second Archon Quest Interlude, when he accompanied Shinobu to Liyue so she could finally get her law diploma, he nearly got arrested for making a ruckus. Yanfei intervened and defused the situation, which caused a grateful Itto to get a little overenthusiastic in trying to pay her back. So much so that he and Shinobu followed her deep into the Chasm, which is off-limits to the public.
* DrawAggro: ''Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!'' summons Ushi to deal Geo damage on a group of enemies and draw their attention away from Itto, before retreating either after six seconds have passed or he takes enough hits, with his durability equivalent to Itto's Max HP. In addition, he confers Itto one stack of Superlative Superstrength whenever he takes a hit (within at least 2-second intervals) or retreats.
* DubPronunciationChange: Itto's personal name (hiragana いっと) is the Japanese reading of 一斗, which reads as "Yīdǒu" in Chinese, while the Korean dub opts for a transliteration as "Ito" (hangul 이토; the characters could also be read via hanja as "Ildu"/일두).
* DumbMuscle: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He's a very muscular oni on the dumber side, but he can put in the effort if asked of him.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When he first meets Heizou in the latter's Hangout Event, he initially assumes that he was a guy who got locked up for stealing other kids' onikabuto. Then when Paimon clarifies that Heizou works at the police station, Itto's next assumption is that he's the ''lavender melon salesman'' because of him putting some in his cell on Shinobu's behalf.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His trailer shows him to be a bombastic, boisterous local riffraff who's [[SmallNameBigEgo louder than his actual worth]]. But all these combined set him up to be a ButtMonkey, so expect a good deal of laughs from his antics.
* FaceOfAThug: His Oni-like appearance, with his tall height and horns, is stated to make him look rather intimidating (and does attempt to look the part). Despite this, he's said to be a pretty nice guy and is a FriendToAllChildren.
* {{Fanboy}}: One of his voice lines reveals he's a fan of "Ms. Hina" and is excited for the upcoming meet and greet as he would finally get to meet her.
* FairytaleMotifs: There is a story that appears in Itto's Story Quest about a red oni and a blue oni, and the blue oni's sacrifice to help the red oni become friends with humans becomes a recurring plot point and motif throughout the story. This is based on a real fairy tale from the early 20th century called "The Red Oni Who Cried," which goes exactly the same as is recounted the first time it is told.
* {{Foil}}: To Sara. He is a HotBlooded {{Oni}} who runs a gang and often finds himself on the wrong side of the law, while she is a [[TheStoic stoic]] {{Tengu}} and a member of the Tenryou Commission who enforces the law. However, a closer look reveals them to be quite similar. Both are youkai who find themselves set apart from humans despite their efforts to integrate (Itto because he is seen as a local nuisance, Sara because she ruthlessly enforces the Raiden Shogun's will), they were each adopted by humans at a young age (Itto by Granny Oni, Sara by Kujou Takayuki), and they're both a big fan of a well-known figure (Itto towards "Ms. Hina," Sara towards the Raiden Shogun). And lastly, Itto proves he can be [[HiddenDepths just as serious as Sara]] when it comes to [[spoiler:honoring the ancient deal made between the Crimson Oni and the Blue Oni]].
* FriendToAllChildren: Often plays with the local children with Yoimiya, where the kids will encourage them both to compete with one another.
** During the "Akitsu Kimodameshi" event, Itto immediately relates to the young youkai they meet during the Test of Courage since they’re just innocent kids who want to make a fun festival for youkai and humans alike and promises to help them, just like he was as a kid.
* FriendlyEnemy: While Sara seems to see him more as an annoyance most of the time, their interaction in Ritou Harbor's bulletin board seems to have some shades of this.
-->'''Itto''': Don't you dare die on the battlefield, Kujou Tengu! You still owe me a duel!\\
'''Sara''': Shut it. Are you done yet? (...) You don't get yourself killed either, you idiotic Crimson Oni.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Yoimiya, contrasting with his more antagonistic relationship with Kujou Sara. Yoimiya has nothing bad to say about him, she simply gets competitive when children cheer her on in her and Itto's eating contests.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: His Vision was confiscated by Kujou Sara prior to the events of Chapter II. This does not stop players from being able to summon him before they've completed it.
* GatheringSteam: On paper, Itto's basic charged attack, ''Saichimonji Slash'', is a simple one-hit slash. However, every second and fourth hit of his normal attack combo generates, respectively, one and two stacks of Superlative Superstrength, of which he can hold up to five at a time and last either until after sixty seconds have passed or he consumes them to transform his next charged attack into ''Arataki Kesagiri'', a series of up to five wild slashes, each of which consumes a stack to increase its power as well as negate its stamina cost, with the final blow being a powerful downward stab. In addition, Ushi generates a stack whenever he is attacked or retreats after taking enough damage, and the Raging Oni King state allows Itto to generate one stack each on the first and third hits of his normal attack combo (hence guaranteeing a full stack). Both his ascension passive and two Constellation upgrades also prioritize bolstering ''Arataki Kesagiri''
** Ascension-wise, that for his first, ''Arataki Ichiban'', increases the attacking speed of the next consecutive hit by 10% (to a maximum of 30%, or three hits) as well as resistance to interruption, while that for his fourth, ''Bloodline of the Crimson Oni'', increases its damage potency based on 35% of his Defense stat.
** Constellation-wise, his first, ''Stay a While and Listen Up'', immediately generates two stacks, with the other three generated in half-second intervals after a one-second-long delay, whenever he summons the Raging Oni King; his sixth, ''Arataki Itto, Present!'', confer a 70% boost to its Critical damage (as well as to ''Saichimonji Slash''), as well as a 50% chance to negate the consumption of Superlative Superstrength, hence allowing for more hits.
* GracefulLoser: He insists that a real man takes a loss on the chin. However, ZigZagged as Sara notes that when she took his Vision he was willing to admit defeat once bested, but that didn't stop him from being increasingly insistent on having a rematch. He similarly continuously challenges Yoimiya to win the respect of the Inazuman children.
* HappilyAdopted: His quest reveals that Granny Oni took him in when he was younger and he clearly loves and looks out for her — in a voiceover, Itto states he cares not if people have a problem with him, but he doesn't like it when they pick on Granny because of him. As for Granny Oni, despite Itto's less-than-civil antics, she loves him as equally.
* HarmlessVillain: For a very loose definition of "villain." His Burst is the self-named ''"Behold, Itto The Evil!"'' and he openly calls himself a delinquent in his voice lines, but the worst thing he really does is take candy from kids after beating them in their games. Most who know Itto, while finding him overbearing, don't consider him capable of doing any actual wrong.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Itto is a genuinely good man who looks out for others, but his inability to hold down a job, CompetitionFreak nature, and rather a volatile temper gives him a less-than-laudable reputation, especially with the Tenryou Commission. Some, such as Ogura Mio, see that he's a good guy beneath it all, but it's still few and far between.
* HiddenDepths:
** His {{delinquent}}-like demeanor, lack of a stable job, and bad reputation might make him seem like a good-for-nothing [[spoiler:who dishonors the Blue Oni's sacrifice many years ago]], but as he explained to [[spoiler:Takuya]], his CompetitionFreak habits, obsession with winning, and forming a gang of misfits like him is him [[spoiler:trying to honor the centuries-old deal, since the Blue Oni dictated that the Crimson Oni don't conform to human customs but earn their respect by being themselves and integrate into a society that way. He also respects the Blue Oni for their sacrifice all those years ago, which prompts him to take the blame for Takuya's crimes so he can find him before the Tenryou Commission does and help him the best he could.]]
** According to Heizou's voice line about him, Itto's got a pretty good singing voice... even if the lyrics he sings are complete garbage.
* HonorBeforeReason:
** Itto values the "Oni Pride" he and his race are known for, which makes him insistent on staying true to his nature and earning his place in human society through his strength as opposed to conforming to their standards. [[spoiler:And when he realizes that a Blue Oni, who he thought died out ages ago, is working with {{Ronin}} bandits, he takes the blame for the crimes so he can track the guy down and try and help him, even if it risks tanking his already poor reputation further.]]
** According to one of the street food vendors in Inazuma City, Itto once challenged Yae Miko to a Kitsune Ramen Eating Contest, which almost killed him since it contained fried tofu beans, which are lethally allergic for all Oni. To his credit, he actually ''won'' the contest despite said allergy.
* HornedHumanoid: He has a pair of red horns on his head.
* HotBlooded: His posts on the Inazuma's bulletin boards show that he's a very passionate and strong-minded individual, which is especially evident from the fact that he's able to act like this despite losing his Vision.
* {{Hunk}}: Very tall and muscular, with his outfit showing off his abs. Alongside Alhaitham, this especially puts him at odds with [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys most of the other playable male characters]].
* IHaveManyNames: Parodied with his self-given names, which include "The First", "Oni Sumo King", and "TCG Expert".
* ImmuneToFlinching: With his fist-ascension passive, ''Arataki Ichiban'', Itto becomes impervious to flinching while using ''Arataki Kesagiri''.
* JerkassBall: Picks it up in the second Interlude, where he had a bone to pick with Yelan at the Chasm, despite only meeting her recently, and their interference causes them, Yanfei, Shinobu, the Traveler, and Paimon to be trapped at its depths (while Xiao follows their lead). Where he would normally be quick to end confrontations (as told by Shinobu), Itto's demeanor is much more sour than usual, refusing to acknowledge his fault, doesn't listen to Shinobu (who he normally fears getting on her bad side), or get along with Yelan, at least until he stops an argument between her and Xiao. Likely {{justified|Trope}} given [[spoiler:Bosacius' karmic retribution was tainting the area, causing the group to [[TookALevelInJerkass take a level in Jerkass]]]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed — he isn't that much of a jerk, he just has a big ego that needs to be reined in, and has somewhat of a temper that tends to get the best of him and causing wrong impressions; that said, Itto is a highly loyal friend and would never let his true ones down.
* JustForPun: One of the titles he makes for himself in the English voice line is "The One and Oni".
* KindheartedSimpleton: Itto has the best interests of his gang and the downtrodden at heart, but is not the brightest and often ends up riling people up even more.
* LagCancel: His normal attack combo does not reset even when he sprints or summons Ushi into battle.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's a huge Oni who towers over most of the cast and leads the Arataki Gang.
* LargeHam: With such a case of NoIndoorVoice and his antics, you bet.
* TheLeader: Of the Arataki Gang. He's a type III and IV (Headstrong and Charismatic), with his ego and lack of smarts being more than made up by his determination and charisma, not to mention his warmth once one gets to know him.
* LightningBruiser: Itto can dash without interrupting his normal attack chain, and deliver a flurry of charged attacks without consuming stamina (provided he has stacks of Superlative Superstrength). Not only can Itto hit hard per hit, but he also attacks multiple times while dashing around. His Burst speeds up his attack speed even further, and although he takes more damage during its duration, he is naturally more durable than the average character, being a Geo user, and his attacks scale with Defense, encouraging the player to build him tanky regardless.
* MadLibsCatchphrase: A lot of Itto's self-professed titles are usually just him putting an actual title or a sentence describing himself or some NoodleIncident between his last and given name.
* TheMagnificent: Itto has all sorts of grandiose self-proclaimed titles which he tacks on to his Bulletin Board posts, such as "The Supreme," "The First," "The Strongest," and "Oni Sumo King," among others. This escalates to the point that epithets such as [[NoodleIncident "No Prison Food For Me" and "To The Winner Go The Spoils"]] also rank among [[RunningGag the many appellations he likes to insert in between his name.]]
* {{Manchild}}: Along with generally being rather dim, Itto is a CompetitionFreak even for things commonly done by children, such as beetle battling, trading cards, and hide-and-seek. This may contribute to why he's a FriendToAllChildren along with Yoimiya.
* MeaningfulName: "Itto" means "lone star," befitting his self-proclaimed title as the strongest man in Inazuma.
* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Itto is so far the only claymore unit whose charge attacks behave differently. Nominally, he only deals one big slash that consumes stamina, akin to sword units. But if he has stacks of Superlative Superstrength, he can consume them to deal with multiple slashes with greater power and no stamina consumption. He can also dash without interrupting his combo chain, which is important for him since different hits of his combo grant the stacks.
* MightyGlacier: Not unlike Noelle, Itto's playstyle is one of the few to encourage players to prioritize building up his HP and/or Defense, allowing him to take plenty of hits himself while he wails on the enemy.
* MrFanservice: ''Yes''. He wears a NoShirtLongJacket that showcases perfectly how [[{{Hunk}} tall and muscular]] he is, and between that and his general AllGirlsWantBadBoys angle, Itto might as well be one of the most appealing male characters introduced so far.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: How do you raise the stakes for an eating contest? By having to eat many bowls' worth of a dish you're horrifically allergic to and your opponent (i.e. [[TheGadfly Yae Miko]]) loves — Kitsune Udon[[labelnote:*]]Udon noodles with Fried '''Tofu'''[[/labelnote]]. He managed to win too, and the restaurant owner even gave him the chair he and Miko were competing over as a trophy.
* NiceGuy: While he is loud, boisterous, has quite the ego, and is bitter towards the Shogunate and, ''ahem, especially'' insistent towards Sara, Itto is nevertheless a total homie to his gang as well as anyone who he considers a friend, and is genuinely heroic at heart. Much like Yoimiya, he's also a FriendToAllChildren, and he genuinely appreciates their praise. He also loves and cares for Granny Oni, the person that adopted him, not liking it when people that got a problem with him pick on her.
* NoIndoorVoice: He usually speaks in a loud bombastic manner.
* NoShirtLongJacket: Wears an unbuttoned jacket with tied-up sleeves and no shirt underneath, revealing his abs, arms, and tattoos.
* NoSocialSkills: A downplayed example. While he is capable of understanding the emotions of others, his quick temper and his antics tend to get him into a lot of trouble with everyone, especially with the authorities. He also can't get the hint that Yanfei is a very, very busy person, which is why she is running away from him in the first place.
* OddFriendship:
** With Kamisato Ayato, who he calls "bro" ever since the latter inadvertently gave him motivational words to not give up on beetle fights, not knowing that he is actually the Yashiro Commissioner. According to his voice lines, Ayato and Itto have played beetle battles and trading card games.
** With Thoma. While it's very easy to make friends with [[NiceGuy Thoma]], the differences in their personalities are noticeable. Itto is loud, irresponsible, and childish, while Thoma is hardworking, dutiful, and mature. However, both share their AllLovingHero qualities and loyalty towards their loved ones, and both have been the subjects of slander and bad reputation from outsiders. Before they formally meet at the Irodori Festival, both were very eager to befriend each other, and Thoma manages to make him and the gang help at the festival.
** He immediately makes good friends with Gorou at the "Akitsu Kimodameshi" event, with Gorou being calm and polite, and Itto extroverted and impulsive. While they both discuss their shared love for fishing, their methods are very different: Gorou likes fishing by hand, while Itto finds it more fun using a fishing rod. [[spoiler:Also Itto can't tell Gorou is "Ms. Hina," and neither does Gorou himself, despite all the contrived coincidences.]] In Itto’s words about Gorou, he can sense a familiar feeling from Gorou just from talking to him.
* OhCrap: Lets out a panicked "Huh!?" upon being told that the exclusive drink for the Irodori Festival, which he just won and gulped down, contained [[PlotAllergy soy milk]], right before he passes out.
* OneManArmy: The man did ''not'' let go of his Vision easily. He and his gang mowed down so much of the Tenryou Commission that Kujou Sara herself had to personally step in and subdue him.
* {{Oni}}: He has Oni blood running in his veins, giving him increased strength and two horns sticking out of his forehead. He's also apparently allergic to beans[[note]]specifically soybeans/"mame"[[/note]] and food products made from them, including tofu, a reference to the tradition of ''mamemaki'' (bean scattering) in Setsubun festival, which aims to get rid of onis and invite good luck for the year.
* OralFixation: In his voice line about his favorite food, Itto mentions that he loves candy, especially lollipops since he likes how badass he looks with something in his mouth. Basically, he is the {{manchild}} version of SmokingIsCool.
* PlotAllergy: During his Story Quest, the Traveler will be tasked to throw beans at him which he has been noted to be incredibly allergic to. This leaves him crying, whimpering, and sniffling for a few minutes as he asks the Traveler to give him a moment to recover. During the Irodori Festival, Itto collapses when he drinks the event drink without knowing the base was soy milk (which of course is made from ''soybeans''). Everyone feels so bad for him that Thoma takes care of him for the rest of the event, while the shop owner is so concerned that she gives the Traveler a modified recipe of the drink that uses regular milk instead.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Where an Earth-elemental would be calm, stoic and rarely faltering, Itto is instead bombastic, friendly, loud, HotBlooded and with a bit of a temper — nothing at all fitting for what his [[DishingOutDirt Geo]] Vision would suggest.
* PowerStrainBlackout: During the second Archon Quest Interlude, hearing that they might be able to breach the Chasm's Bed by using enough power, Itto punches through the wall with all his strength, ripping open a rift that leads to a new area before passing out from the effort. This keeps him out of action until after their escape.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Itto is proud to be an oni and holds fast to the oaths his ancestors swore to earn respect among humans through strength rather than conforming to their standards. Unfortunately, he's not the most intelligent at going about this, doing so by playing games and causing a ruckus along with the rest of his gang, and is belittled as a jobless vagrant by many who know him as a result.
* RedOniBlueOni: Brash and excitable Itto is the Red to the authoritative and collected Kujou Sara's Blue. Lore-wise, Itto is a descendant of a clan of Crimson Oni who began cohabitating with the humans [[spoiler:at the expense of the Blue Oni, who sacrificed their reputations and means of joining civilization to engage in blatant villainy so that the Crimson Oni could 'stop' them--allowing at least some of their race to earn humanity's respect]]. He also falls into the Red Oni role next to the Traveler, Takuya, and Shinobu's Blue.
* ReducedManaCost: In a variant, his sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Arataki Itto, Present!'', gives him a 50% chance to not consume a stack of Superlative Superstrength whenever he triggers ''Arataki Kesagiri'', in addition to a 70% Critical Damage boost to both forms of his charged attacks.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: For the Irodori Festival, Itto, and his gang planned on writing a 60-page story in two months that would introduce the Gang to the populace and visiting outlanders to improve their reputation (as well as make some mora). But after half a month, Itto had only written a grand total of ''one line''. While they decided to cut it down to 20 pages to compensate, they all got hooked on the Genius Invokation TCG and wasted another half-month on that. ''Then'' they decided to just make a poster and actually did manage to come up with over thirty slogans, but it took them a week to settle on one, at which point they realized that they'd have to pay an expensive express fee for the printing that they couldn't hope to pay. At that point, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm they just give up on the idea and decide to enjoy the festival]].
* ShooOutTheClowns: During the last quarter of the second Archon Quest Interlude, Itto is knocked unconscious after [[spoiler:using all of his energy in a powerful punch through a wall]], just when things start getting more serious and grave. He only wakes up after everything has been solved.

** Itto is a fan of beetle fighting with Onikabuto, which he can also use for level cap ascension.
** He also has good synergy with Gorou, with whom he usually shares Wish banners. They make good friends once they meet during the "Akitsu Kimodameshi" event, and in Itto’s lines about Gorou, he can feel a familiar vibe, as if Gorou can understand his inner feelings, [[spoiler:not knowing that his favorite advice columnist, "Ms. Hina," is actually Gorou.]] Since Itto's buff scales with his Defense, Gorou's skills further improves his defense capabilities.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Itto has an amusing and vaguely endearing tendency to think of himself as more important than he actually is. He describes himself as the first and greatest head of the Arataki Gang (who are a group of minor troublemakers, at best, and who most people have never heard of), gives himself a bunch of titles that no one else acknowledges, and is offended when he finds that his Vision is near the bottom of the Statue of the Omnipresent God, thinking that his Vision deserved a place at the top due to believing himself to be one of the strongest Vision wielders in Inazuma, even though the Shogunate had no reason to care about how they placed Visions on the statue at all.
* SmiteMeOhMightySmiter: Whenever there is lightning, Itto responds by daring the Electro Archon to strike him [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu while talking smack]].
-->'''Itto:''' Hey! Raiden Shogun, is that you? Well, guess what — you're not the boss of me. Uh-huh, that's right, you heard me! Go ahead, strike me down!
* SoreLoser: He keeps trying to challenge Kujou Sara to a rematch after she defeated him for his Vision. He is very annoyed about Yoimiya possibly being liked by kids more than him and similarly wants rematches with her. His Genius Invokation card has him explode with rage when he lost a beetle fight. The card name is appropriately, [[ComebackMechanic "I Haven't Lost Yet!"]]
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He is the only person who can understand Ushi. During ''Perilous Trail'' he serves as Ushi’s translator, delivering a final deep reflection as a message for Xiao at the end of the day.
* StalkerWithoutACrush:
** If his Bulletin Board posts are of any indication, Itto will pursue Kujou Tengu to the ends of Inazuma (or just Narukami Island) to get his fateful rematch against her after the shogunate officer beat him in a duel and confiscated his Vision.
** He does this again with Yanfei in Interlude Chapter II: Perilous Trail, only this time it's so he can find the chance to repay her for keeping him from getting arrested by the Millelith.
* StatusBuff: His fourth Constellation upgrade, ''Jailhouse Bread and Butter'', bestows a 20% boost to the party's Attack and Defense once the Raging Oni King state ends.
* SuperGullible: In line with his status as DumbMuscle, Itto can be rather easily tricked, such as in "The Almighty Arataki Great and Glorious Drumalong Festival", where he ended up buying a regular old drum for 80,000 Mora, with even his ever loyal gang realizing that he got duped. Tellingly, in a branch of Heizou's Hangout Event where you help him set up an anti-fraud event, the Traveler and Paimon are quick to suggest Itto as someone to play the scam victim in the short play. Then, as if to add insult to injury, Heizou got him to agree to it in the first place by showing him a picture of what appeared to be an Onikabuto, only for the real thing to turn out to be a figurine.
* SuperMode: ''Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!'' has Itto let out his inner Raging Oni King, where for eighteen seconds he enjoys a boost both to his Attack stat (based on a percentage of his Defense) and 10% to his attacking speed, all his regular attacks are endowed with a Geo effect that cannot be overridden with elemental reactions, and the first and third strikes of his normal attack combo can now also generate stacks of Superlative Superstrength (in addition to the natural generation from the second and fourth hits), albeit at the cost of a 20% penalty to his physical and elemental resistances.
* SuperStrength: While it's hinted that a lot of claymore users, and even characters who use other weapons, possess this to some degree, it's a lot more blatant with Itto, as his gameplay revolves around gaining stacks of "Superlative Superstrength" to wail on opponents with. The climax of his story quest also has him [[spoiler:destroy a massive boulder in one punch to stop it from crushing Takuya.]]
* TattooedCrook: Fittingly for both an oni and gang leader, Itto has thick, deep red tattoos going along much of his upper body.
* TooDumbToFool: If you thought Arataki "The Undefeated" Itto was someone who can be easily fooled... [[SuperGullible well, you'd be right]], but there have been times when Itto's sheer bullheadedness has allowed him to get one over on much more competent characters.
** He's one of the few people to "outsmart" Yae Miko, by virtue of simply being too much of a CompetitionFreak to back down from their ramen-eating contest when he saw that [[PlotAllergy tofu]] was included in the dishes. Given her [[TheGadfly temperament]], it's likely she was trying to trick him into paying for her lunch.
** In Heizou's Hangout Event where he's supposed to play a con victim in a short play, his character ends up narrowly avoiding handing over his hard-earned money by questioning how a Doushin can get paid enough to get the Shogun out of a hostage crisis and sponsor a Miss Hina book[[note]] part of the scam involved presenting Itto, who's playing the Doushin, with ransom notes requesting 200,000 and 300,000 mora respectively, with Itto's pay in the play being 500,000[[/note]]. If the Traveler encourages him to follow his heart, Itto will come to the conclusion that ''his character is the conman'' and his paycheck is a fake he made. He then proceeds to have a "HeelRealization" and tells Etsu and Iba, his fellow actors who are playing the actual con artists, that he'll get a real check to pay them with, much to their bafflement. Heizou, who's serving as the narrator, notes that Itto avoided getting defrauded in a rather unconventional manner.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After he collapses after drinking the Irodori festival exclusive beverage, which contained soy milk, the shop owner feels bad enough to give the Traveler an altered recipe for the drink that uses normal milk instead, [[VideoGameCaringPotential which you are fully capable of making and giving to Itto if he's in your party.]]
* TrueCompanions: Itto is a firm believer in this. Whether he's known you for fifteen years or fifteen minutes, if he's decided you're part of the team then you're getting the full package from the one and Oni. He doesn't like infighting very much, so when things get heated between teammates his first instinct is to do something shocking to break the tension. In ''Perilous Trail'', when Yelan and Xiao start arguing about Xiao's risky plan to use all his might to tear and hold open a rift in reality that ''might'' allow everyone else to escape at the cost of leaving Xiao behind, Itto interrupts them by [[spoiler:using all ''his'' strength to bust a hole the wall under the slightly-mistaken belief that this would do the job,]] with Shinobu explaining this to not be a sacrifice but merely a duty, and that Itto trusts that they'd take him with them when they make their escape.
* UnknownRival:
** Not so much unknown as much as he is the only one invested in his "rivalry" with Sara. Ever since she bested him and took his Vision, he's made numerous attempts to challenge her again, often posting challenges on bulletin boards. Sara however sees him as a nuisance, and [[NoodleIncident doesn't remember the last encounter they had fondly, simply telling the Traveler to ask him themselves.]]
** Moreso to the Raiden Shogun, with Itto considering himself a pain in her neck during the Vision Hunt Decree. The Raiden Shogun, meanwhile, has no idea who he even is.
---> '''Raiden Shogun:''' Who?
* UnskilledButStrong: As a Geo Vision holder, Itto can't do any reaction other than Crystallize, and his Talents are pretty basic other than his mechanically unusual ChargedAttack. But his Elemental Skill hits ''hard'', and his Burst boosts his damage off the roof, fitting his combat philosophy of simply hitting hard.
* UnwantedAssistance: During the second Archon Quest Interlude, he's grateful for Yanfei saving his life, which he intends to pay back in kind by protecting her. However, Yanfei doesn't need assistance, nor want his help due to the danger of her mission inside The Chasm, never mind the fact that it is off-limits to outsiders. Itto unfortunately, doesn't take the hint and continues to follow Yanfei to repay his debt.
* UpgradeArtifact: A variant--his third and fifth Constellation upgrades, ''Horns Lowered, Coming Through'' and ''10 Years of Hanamizaka Fame'', increase the talent levels of, respectively, ''Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!'' and ''Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!'' by three.
* WeaksauceWeakness: To beans. Just so much as throwing a bean at him will make him so sick he hangs on the verge of passing out.
* WeaponSpecialization
** Itto's claymore transforms into a ''kanabō'' whenever he summons the Raging Oni King.
** In addition, his Wish banner runs concurrent with that for the Redhorn Stonethresher (5★). Its Ascension substat is Critical Damage (19.2–88.2%), while its "Gokadaiou Otogibanashi" passive increases its wielder's Defense stat by 28–56%, as well as the damage of their normal and charged attacks by 40–80% of their Defense, which makes it perfect for his attack-heavy gameplay while also bolstering his survivability.
* WisdomFromTheGutter: Believe it or not, there are a few life lessons to be learned in the Arataki Gang:
** Itto is the way he is partly because he refuses to be anything but himself. This stubbornness often gets him into trouble, but he and his gang are all content with it. Shinobu sticks by his side despite her talents because, to her, a chaotic yet free-wheeling life with the gang is more fulfilling than a cushy yet restrictive job as a shrine maiden. Contrast Takuya, [[spoiler: who compromised his values and morals out of desperation to give the Blue Oni a better living standard only to end up miserable for it.]]
** At the end of "Perilous Trail", Itto asks Paimon and the Traveler to relay a message from Ushi to Xiao. It ends up being some pertinent wisdom: Ushi was born to exorcise ghosts and demons like Itto but has chosen a life at Itto's side. It's important to stay close to people who make you the happiest, and he hopes that Xiao understands that he doesn't need to let his worries and burdens as a Yaksha get in the way of spending time with people.
* {{Youkai}}: Of course, since he's an {{Oni}}. Along with Kirara, Kujou Sara, and Yae Miko, Itto is one of the few playable characters to be a youkai.

[[caption-width-right:184:Auxiliary member of the Arataki Gang]]

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The cow that he throws in his Elemental Skill is named "Ushi," [[ADogNamedDog the Japanese word for Cow]].
* IntelligentGerbil: Despite not being able to talk in human speech, Ushi is smart enough to have thoughts, give some insight and comments. Itto is the only one who can understand him, thought.
* OlympusMons: Downplayed. While not a god, Itto's bull companion, Ushi, is in reality a powerful spirit who performed centuries of exorcisms across Inazuma long before Itto was born. However, he decided he liked Itto's bold spirit and chose to join him instead of continuing his duties.
* SmartAnimalAverageHuman: Ushi is far more insightful and eloquent than Itto. After "Perilous Trail", Ushi is the one who gives a motivational reflection to Xiao, with Itto serving as the translator.
* TeamPet: He is the only member of the gang who isn't a youkai or human. He is officially referred as "auxiliary gang member".
* UndyingLoyalty: To Itto. Despite being a bull used to exorcise Youkai, he grows attached to Itto and follows him whenever he is invoked.

'''Affiliation:''' Arataki Gang\\\

Itto's right-hand woman and deputy leader of the Arataki Gang. Having rejected her destiny as a scion of a family of Grand Narukami Shrine maidens, which includes her older sister Miyuki, Shinobu instead went overseas and studied a variety of subjects, including law under Yanfei in Liyue. After returning home shortly before the Sakoku Decree closed the nation off, she joined the Arataki Gang. Due to her professionalism and multiple certifications, she often bails the gang out of many problems and has even expanded their business scope outside of the regular mischief and delinquency.\\
\\
Shinobu's experience dealing with Itto, as well as tapping into her past work as trainee shrine maiden, has taught her skills that support her allies even at the cost of overtaxing herself. Her Elemental Skill, ''Sanctifying Ring'', consumes some HP to summon a "Grass Ring of Sanctification" around the active character that periodically deals Electro damage to surrounding enemies and heal surrounding allies proportionate to her Max HP, while her Elemental Burst, ''Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite'', has her thrust an exorcism blade onto the ground that zaps surrounding enemies, with an increased duration if Shinobu has less than half her HP when she uses the blade.\\
\\
As Shinobu continues to dedicate more of her talents and skills to help the Arataki Gang, she gains an increased Healing Bonus whenever she has no more than half her HP, and both the damaging and healing potencies of the Sanctifying Ring increase based on a fraction of her Elemental Mastery. Once Shinobu masters her shrine-honed skills in the pursuit of her freedom, the damage radius of ''Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite'' increases; the Grass Ring of Sanctification gains an extended duration, in addition to augmenting the active character's normal, charged, or plunging attacks with a "Thundergas Mark" that deals wide-ranging Electro damage based on a fraction of Shinobu's Max HP; and Shinobu gains the ability to survive otherwise fatal hits with 1 HP, in addition to a temporary boost to her Elemental Mastery whenever she has less than a quarter of her HP.\\
\\
Kuki Shinobu can be obtained from any banner.

* BlackBlood: When using ''Sanctifying Ring'', what is very likely her blood can be seen splashing out from her body upon skill activation, explaining the HP loss from the skill. For (obvious) censorship reasons, it is colored purple instead of the usual red.
* BlackSheep: She is estranged from the rest of her family for refusing to join them in working at the Grand Narukami Shrine and pursuing other careers instead. Only her older sister Miyuki is willing to talk to her.
* BlatantLies: Shinobu's Hangout Event tree begins with the Traveler finding her in the Tenryou Commission's police station trying to convince an officer that the Arataki Gang is actually a support group for people with mental problems and that their boisterous actions don't come from malice, but from these shortcomings (it's ''sort of'' true; Itto and the Gang don't usually mean any harm, they're just impatient and not the best at socializing).
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: As much as the Gang's antics of varying legality irritate her, she sticks by them through thick and thin, since they give her all the freedom she wants in the world.
* CastFromHitPoints: ''Sanctifying Ring'' consumes 30% of Shinobu's current HP (unless she has less than 20%, in which case the HP cost is negated) to summon a Grass Ring of Sanctification that periodically zaps surrounding enemies and heals surrounding allies.
* CoolMask: She wears a plated mask on the lower half of her face. Apparently, she doesn't like people asking what’s underneath it. In one idle animation, she takes it off briefly, but quickly puts it back on when she realizes this. Her hangout reveals that Shinobu wears it because she doesn't want to get recognized as a former miko.
* CombatMedic: ''Sanctifying Ring'' summons the Grass Ring of Sanctification, a phantasmal whip-sword made of Electro energy around the active character that, for the next twelve seconds, simultaneously zaps surrounding enemies and heals surrounding allies in 1.5-second bursts (for a total of eight). Both her ascension passives boost the Ring's healing potency--that for her first, ''Breaking Free'', increases Shinobu's Healing Bonus by 15% if she has less than half her HP, while that for her fourth, ''Heart's Repose'', increases the Ring's damaging and healing potencies based on, respectively, 25% and 75% of her Elemental Mastery stat. Constellation-wise, her second upgrade, ''To Forsake Fortune'', extends its duration to fifteen seconds (and hence ten bursts), while her fourth, ''To Sever Sealing'', allows the Ring to augment normal, charged, or plunging attacks with Thundergrass Marks, three kunai made of Electro energy that deal wide-ranging damage based on 9.7% of her Max HP each.
* CriticalStatusBuff:
** If Shinobu has less than half her HP, the field generated by ''Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite'' increases in duration from 2 seconds to 3.5.
** Her first-ascension passive, ''Breaking Free'', increases her Healing Bonus stat by 15% if she has no more than half her HP.
** Beside the LastChanceHitPoint (see below), her sixth Constellation upgrade, ''To Ward Weakness'', boosts her Elemental Mastery stat by 150 points for fifteen seconds (with at least one-minute interval) whenever she has less than a quarter of her HP.
* DubPronunciationChange: Shinobu's full name (hiragana くき しのぶ) is the Japanese reading of 久岐忍 (each character being read via, respectively, ''go-on'' [Wu Chinese-derived], ''kan-on'' [Han Chinese-derived], and ''kun'yomi'' [native Japanese] methods), which reads as "Jiǔqí Rěn" in Chinese, while the Korean dub opts for a transliteration as "Kuki Sinobu" (hangul 쿠키 시노부; the characters could also be read via hanja as "Gugi In"/구기 인).
* TheDreaded: She's greatly feared within the Arataki Gang for her fierce temper and harsh punishments. In Itto's words, an angry Shinobu would make life a nightmare.
* FamilyOfChoice: During the v2.7 live stream, Creator/MaxMittelman, Itto's English voice actor, explains that Shinobu only feels free around the members of the Arataki Gang, and she cares for all of them despite her cool demeanor. During the second Archon Quest Interlude, Itto is aware of Shinobu's issues with her strict mother.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: Her parents don't approve of her having ''any'' job but a shrine maiden at the Grand Narukami Shrine, insisting that she has to carry on the family tradition. For obvious reasons, Shinobu hasn't spoken to them much since she left for Liyue.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Played with. Given how Shinobu views the Arataki gang as family, Shinobu comes off as the responsible to counter the foolishness of the rest of the gang. However, when compared to her biological sister Miyuki, she's the foolish one with Miyuki being the responsible one.
* GuiltByAssociationGag: While Sayu knows nothing about her, she's quick to write her off as a "sleep disturbance" upon hearing of her association with [[HotBlooded Itto]].
* HellishPupils: Has slit pupils like a reptile, for some as-yet unrevealed reason.
* HeroWorship: She thinks very highly of Yanfei, at one point saying her lectures were the best part of her schooling.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Shinobu is far more intelligent and educated than Itto, and is responsible for bailing him out of trouble. According to both Yae Miko and Yanfei, Shinobu studied law at Liyue before the Sakoku Decree was ratified, which left her confined to Inazuma with no way to return and formally receive her diploma.
-->'''Paimon:''' "Hmm, okay Paimon gets the dynamic now. A useless boss with an ultra-capable subordinate..."
* IJustWantToBeFree: The reason why she joined the Arataki Gang. She'd rather enjoy a carefree life with the Gang, misdemeanors and all, over a stable but boring life as a shrine maiden.
* JackOfAllStats: Shinobu is capable of providing sub-DPS damage, area-of-effect damage, and healing, among other things, and her stats are fairly balanced.
* JackOfAllTrades: After leaving behind the life of a shrine maiden, Shinobu learned a variety of crafts and skills, and as a result now has numerous qualifications. Even her character demo is titled "Jack of All Trades."
* LastChanceHitPoint: Her sixth Constellation upgrade, ''To Ward Weakness'', protects her from otherwise fatal hits with 1 HP (in addition to a 150-point boost to her Elemental Mastery stat if she has less than a quarter of her HP); this activates only at least every sixty seconds.
* LoserFriendPuzzlesOutsiders: Most Inazumans, such as Sara, are confused as to why someone with her range of skills and talents is associated with a group of troublemakers, unaware that a stable, predictable job is the last thing she wants.
* MeaningfulName: "Shinobu" means "patient," fitting for someone who has to deal with the Gang's shenanigans on a daily basis.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Shinobu is a support unit who can heal her allies, and her skills benefit from her having a higher Max HP, but at the same time she also benefits from having ''low'' HP. Her Burst lasts longer if her it drops below half, and with a full Constellation, she gains a temporary boost to Elemental Mastery if she has less than a quarter.
* MsFanservice: Her normal attire consists of a small, form-fitting top that exposes most of her stomach, thigh-high boots that draws attention to her legs, and a pair of very small, ''very'' tight shorts, all capped off by IntimateMarks running from her waist down to her thighs. Contrast all this to the conservative shrine maiden uniform that she would've had to wear had she not run away.
* NumberTwo: The second-in-command of the Arataki Gang, as well as its deputy leader. Amusingly, she's thus [[HypercompetentSidekick way more competent]] than Itto.
* OddFriendship: With Kujou Sara, a law enforcer. While Sara and Itto's relationship can best be described as mutual irritation (they don't actually dislike each other, their temperaments are just pretty much the opposite), Sara and Shinobu clearly respect and like each other; in fact, they were friends ''before'' Shinobu joined the Arataki Gang.
* OnlySaneWoman: While Itto's... [[SmallNameBigEgo Itto]], and the other three seem to worship the ground he walks on, Shinobu actually seems to care about the Gang's reputation among the populace and often does damage control for Itto's antics.
* OutOfFocus: Despite forming part of the Arataki Gang, Shinobu is suspiciously absent from a good amount of events where the others are in the picture, even after v2.7; most notably, she is absent from the "Almighty Arataki Extraordinary and Exhilarating Extreme Beetle Brawl", while the rest of the gang plays some part.
* PerpetualFrowner: Shinobu, by her own admission, doesn't like to smile. While it's hard to tell through her mask, this was a frequent source of consternation during her time as a shrine maiden, as she would often receive complaints for coming off as cold and unwelcoming, despite not bearing any actual animosity toward anyone, and her parents would tell her off for it.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Itto's Red. In contrast to the impulsive and hot-headed Itto, Shinobu is a lot more responsible and often tries to keep Itto in check, as well as try and clean up after the messes he makes.
* SamuraiShinobi: A downplayed example. Her getup and equipment evoke a ninja (including doing flips while throwing a kunai), however her recovery and one of her idle animations show her sheathing her sword/dagger at her hip, like a samurai, instead of on her back.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: She and Sara are actually close friends, despite their current stations, and will negotiate with her for more favorable terms whenever the lads are arrested for rabble-rousing. Similarly, she is also this with Heizou, who will happily lighten sentences if the Arattaki gang is jailed and even vouch for their reputation in exchange for information pertaining to interesting cases.
* SelfHarmInducedSuperpower: She can activate a healing and electro field with her skill, but she loses 30% of her HP when she does so.
* SelfMadeWoman: Not wanting to live the dull and cushy life as a shrine maiden as her mother expected of her, she departed to Liyue to study law and other trades. Now, aside from being deputy leader of the Arataki Gang, she is qualified to negotiate with government officials in Inazuma and steer the Gang through legal troubles.
* SergeantRock: Though she clearly cares about her fellow gang members and the success of the Arataki Gang itself, she's not above whipping everyone back into line with some old-fashioned discipline. The same applies to its leader.
* ServileSnarker: She is willing to make snide remarks at her boss's expense, often when he does or says something where he deserves it.
* SexySecretary: She's basically Itto's, as she handles most of the legal documentary and other paperwork the Gang is faced with in their various endeavors. She also wears clothes that expose a fair bit of skin and is shown to [[SheCleansUpNicely clean up quite nicely]].
* SheCleansUpNicely: One ending of her Hangout Event sees Yae Miko give the Traveler a photo of her during her very brief stint as a shrine maiden, which depicts her without her mask or her hair tied up.
* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** After running away from her family business, Shinobu [[JackOfAllTrades took on various jobs to make a living]]. This is reflected in [[JackOfAllStats her playing style that allows her to deal damage and heal her allies at once]].
** As second-in-command of the Arataki Gang, Shinobu serves as Itto's OnlySaneWoman, often having to bail him out whenever he runs afoul of the law. Fittingly enough, her fighting style complements that of Itto by providing damage while mitigating its drawbacks; with the Grass Ring of Sanctification, not only can she create electric bursts to deal extra damage to Itto's target, but it will also heal him and undo any damage he may suffer while recklessly attacking his enemies.
* StockNinjaWeaponry: One of her attack combos involves throwing kunai knives at her opponents.
* StormOfBlades: ''Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite'' has Shinobu stab the ground with an exorcism blade, creating an electric field wherein enemies around Shinobu are zapped with whip-swords made of Electro energy for two seconds, with a 1.5-second extension if Shinobu has no less than half her HP by the time she uses it. Her first Constellation upgrade, ''To Cloister Compassion'', increases its radius by 50%.
* SupremeChef: A culinary license is among Shinobu's many qualifications. The description of her specialty dish, Omurice Waltz, waxes poetic about its presentation and declares it equal to the work of an Inazuman head chef.
* TheSquadette: She appears to be the only woman in the Arataki Gang.
* SwordPlant: ''Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite'' has her plant an exorcism dagger to the ground and the segmented blades emerge from below to damage opponents within its radius.
* TattooedCrook: {{Downplayed}} as she's the most upstanding member of the Arataki Gang, but similar to her boss she has red tattoos on her, only hers are thinner, lighter, and cover her lower body instead. Also doubles as IntimateMarks as they appear to dip below her waistline onto her hips, butt, and upper thighs.
* TeamMom: She's easily the most mature member of the gang. She does her best to steer Itto and the others away from trouble.
* UpgradeArtifact: A variant--her third and fifth Constellation upgrades, ''To Sequester Sorrow'' and ''To Cease Courtesies'', increase the talent levels of, respectively, ''Sanctifying Ring'' and ''Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite'' by three.
* WhipSword: She wields a segmented, electro-infused, exorcism dagger that can separate into a whip when she performs both her Elemental Talents.
* WomenAreWiser: Shinobu is the only female member of the gang and the smartest one, to the point even ''Itto'' is afraid of her. She constantly has to discipline the entire gang so they don't get arrested again.

It doesn't seem like a constant thing though as at the end of the event she explains that she'd been practicing for a really long time so she'd be able to "actually scare people" and seems relieved that she can finally take a break from it.

** Averted when it comes to her cousin, Heizou. Nana complains that she has a way harder time tracking him down compared to Sayu, though unlike the Mujina Ninja who typically limits herself to Chinju Forest, Heizou tends to be everywhere at once and disappears just as quickly.

!!Shiki Taishou
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shiki_taishou.png]]

An event-exclusive NPC of the "Labyrinth Warriors" event. Shiki Taishou is a shikigami spirit in the form of a samurai-shaped origami created by Kamuna Harunosuke and is the overseer of the Mystic Onmyou Chamber. Having just waken up from a long slumber, he has lost his memories and control of the Domain, causing the monsters within to run amok. The Traveler, Xinyan, and Tartaglia assist him in regaining his memories and taking back the Domain.
----
* {{Familiar}}: As a shikigami created by Harunosuke, he serves to follow the latter's orders.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: In the past, he did this towards his master Harunosuke, [[spoiler:specifically reminding him that "she" (most likely Kitsune Saiguu) is not coming back and that he doesn't have to obsess over his goal (i.e defending Inazuma against evil forces, as a tribute to the late Saiguu) or his method towards achieving it as the Shogun's forces had done the job. Harunosuke thanked Shiki for "enlightening" him and decided to move out of the place to search for a new purpose]]. Shiki later describes it as "helping him escape the labyrinth in his heart".
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: At the beginning of the event, he lost most of his memories; he only remembered his name and his role as the overseer of the Mystic Onmyou Chamber.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: As the Traveler and company push further into the Mystic Onmyou Chamber, questions arise of whether Shiki Taishou's master, Harunosuke, created the Domain for more nefarious purposes than what he lets on. This causes Shiki to begin doubting his master, and wonders if he was simply an evil tool. [[spoiler:This gets averted in "The Vengeful Wood" when he regains his full memories and re-discovers that his master created the Domain simply to train samurai for an upcoming war against evil beings, which restores his faith in him]].
* PaperPeople: He is a floating paper person in a samurai outfit.
* SelfDuplication: In the past, he can duplicate himself to assist various warriors that partake in battles inside the Onmyou Chamber. In the present, you can find replicas of him inside the domain that bring back parts of his memories. [[spoiler:In the third part of the event, after he becomes "complete", he creates another duplicate he names "Shiki Koshou" to accompany the Traveler outside the domain.]]
* TeamPet: He serves this role in the Mystic Onmyou Chamber where he follows your character and can use Shikifuda buffs and attacks against enemies at your command. [[spoiler:Once you complete "The Vengeful Wood", he creates an identical familiar of himself named "Shiki Koshou" who can follow you across the overworld, but cannot use Shikifuda abilities]].

->'''Voiced By:''' Liu Shisi (Chinese), Yukako Kiuchi (Japanese), Song Ha-Rim (Korean), Creator/CarrieKeranen (English)

A mysterious lady in red that the Traveler chances upon in Chinju Forest during the ''Akitsu Kimodanmeshi'' event.
----
* AnimateInanimateObject: She is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukumogami tsukumogami]] spirit born from a pair of hagoita paddles.
* DubPronunciationChange: Due to AlternateCharacterReading, her name is YúShēngTián Qiānhè in Chinese.
* DyingAlone: Her initial plan was to cut off all contact with people and pass on quietly until she was convinced otherwise by Yae Miko.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Her black hair and pale skin adds to her creepiness and enhances her impression as a vengeful ghost.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Has a raspy voice in the English dub, which enhances her image as a threatening figure when the Traveler firsts meets her. Subverted in that she isn't evil, but rather just trying to distance herself from others by scaring them away.
* HellishPupils: Has a slitted pupil in her right eye, as befitting her supernatural nature.
* HitodamaLight: Is able to conjure ghostly flames while demanding the Traveler to leave.
* LastRequest: Wishes the Traveler to be filled with joy every day of their journey before peacefully disappearing for good at the end of the festival.
* LeaveMeAlone: What she continuously demands the Traveler and Paimon to do, until Yae Miko convinces her that connecting with others is worth it no matter how fleeting the relationship ends up becoming.
* MayflyDecemberFriendship: Her main motivation is to avoid making these and cause regret to both parties.
* MeaningfulName: Her surname Hanyuuda (羽生田) is composed of the kanji "羽", which can refer to the shuttlecock used in hanetsuki, a traditional Japanese game that also involves two players using hagoita paddles to hit the shuttlecock, and "生" which can mean birth, referencing how Chizuru was a pair of hagoita that gained sentience.
* Really700YearsOld: Appears as a young woman, though she is a 500 year old hagoita spirit.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Has black hair, wears a black kimono with blood-red patterns, with even blood-red flowers coming out of where her left eye is supposed to be, and threatens to trap the Traveler's and Paimon's souls. Ultimately subverted as she's not evil.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has a red eye and at one point threatens to take away the Traveler and Paimon's souls before knocking them unconscious. Subverted afterwards when it's revealed that she's actually quite nice once she stops distancing herself from others.
* VengefulGhost: Presents herself as one, threatening to steal the Traveler and Paimon's souls.
* {{Yokai}}: Is a tsukumogami, specifically the spirit of the pair of hagoita that Kamai and Takuto used to play Akitsu Hazura with.

[[folder:Ioroi]]
!!Ioroi

A giant bake-danuki sealed in stone in Chinju Forest by Kamuna Harunosuke after he went on a rampage following the disappearance of the Kitsune Saiguu, his rival and friend as well as Harunosuke's mentor.

* AttentionWhore: Craving for the Kitsune Saiguu's attention (unaware of her death), he opted to vandalize the Kitsune statues and stole her comb. This caught the Shogunate's attention and sent Harunosuke to teach him a lesson.
* LargeAndInCharge: He is the largest bake-danuki in existence and is the current leader of his kind despite being sealed away in Chinju Forest.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He is completely unaware that the Kitsune Saiguu is already dead, thinking she is playing a long game of hide-and-seek with him, when in truth she wanted to protect him from the Cataclysm.
* TakenForGranite: He and his kind have been sealed into stone, courtesy of Kamuna Harunosuke, though the seal on his kin is slowly dissipating as his kind can be found roaming around Inazuma.
* TalkingAnimal: ZigZagged. Hanachirusato made a special food specifically to communicate with him since he can't talk to humans. Unlike Kichiboushi's case, he continues to talk to the Traveler and Paimon, even after time has passed (something that isn't shared with the brown bake-danuki when Ioroi made a special food for the two).
* TanukiKitsuneContrast: He had a friendly rivalry with the Kitsune Saiguu, which he continues to observe centuries after her death.

[[folder:The Three Youkai Kids]]
!!Kappa, Youkou, & Hitotsume Kouzou
->'''Youkou Voiced By:''' Cai Haiting (Chinese), Ai Yamamoto (Japanese), Gwak Gyu-mi (Korean), Creator/CourtneyLin (English)
A trio of {{Youkai}} children found inside Chinju Forest.

* AsianFoxSpirit: Youkou is a fellow Kitsune like Miko, the only difference being the former's black fur (going by her mask).
* {{Cyclops}}: Hitotsume Kouzou only has a single eye.
* ADogNamedDog: A [[{{Cyclops}} hitotsume-kozo]] named Hitotsume Kouzou, and a {{kappa}} named Kappa.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: As the Youkai are shown in their non-human forms as seen in the cinematic. It is implied that these children took on a human-guise to make them approachable, with the only indicator of their true nature is the characteristic masks (and a shell for Kappa's case) they are wearing.
* {{Kappa}}: [[ADogNamedDog It's even his name.]] The indicator is the green mask with yellow lips.
* ShrinkingViolet: Kappa is incredibly shy towards strangers.
* {{Youkai}}: All three are different species of youkai — Youkou is a ''[[AsianFoxSpirit kitsune]]'', Hitotsume Kouzou is a ''[[{{Cyclops}} hitotsume-kozō]]'' and Kappa is... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well, a]] {{kappa}}.

The Guuji, or head priestess, of the Grand Narukami Shrine and an old friend of the Raiden Shogun and Rex Lapis. Her normally calm, refined façade belies a sassy and playful mischief-maker who almost always finds a way to needle someone. People that work with her often tend to make themselves scarce whenever she is up to something, hoping they may never have to get caught up in whatever shenanigans she has in mind.\\
\\
Miko's penchant for mischief belies her ability to summon "Electro Kitsune," fox-like spirits that fight alongside her and create an incredibly hostile battlefield for her foes. Her Elemental Skill, ''Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura'', has Miko teleport away and conjure a "Sesshou Sakura," an elemental totems (of which she can conjure up to three at a time) that periodically jolts surrounding enemies and empowers each other, while her Elemental Burst, ''Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin'', calls down a massive thunderbolt, as well as sacrifices any active Sesshou Sakura to create "Tenko Thunderbolts" that strike where the totems were.\\
\\
Once Miko stops playing around, the Sessou Sakura increases in damage potency based on a fraction of her Elemental mastery, and each totem sacrificed gains the ability to reset the cooldown time of each charge of ''Yaken Evocation: Sesshou Sakura''. And when she decides to give her full undivided attention into eradicating Inazuma's threats, Tenko Thunderbolts gain the ability to automatically restore her Energy, and each Sesshou Sakura automatically gains an additional level, in addition to the ability to temporarily boost to the Electro Damage Bonus of surrounding allies whenever it attacks, as well as ignore a sizable proportion of its target's Defense.\\
\\
Yae Miko can only be obtained when the ''Everbloom Violet'' Character Event Wish is active.

* ShipTease: There is a book about a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed thinly-disguised version of her]] spoiling the Raiden Shogun named ''Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji?'' for the Irodori Festival. An NPC points out how strange it is that Miko approves of its portrayal of the Shogun as dependent on the Guuji Yae. Though it is possible that Miko doesn't care about the novel's contents, the NPC in question also cosplays as the analogue character to Miko from the novel, promoting it alongside a tie-in drink — suggesting that Miko does have an interest in its contents.

* {{Foil}}: To Kujou Sara. Both are high-ranking women in Inazuman society with {{youkai}} heritage and Electro Visions, as well as close associates of the Raiden Shogun. Even their fighting styles bear some similarities, with their Elemental Skills allowing them to perform a FlashStep that (assuming you have unlocked Sara's second Constellation upgrade) leaves behind damage traps, while their Bursts summon a BoltOfDivineRetribution that can also summon smaller bolts to deal further damage. However, while Sara is a {{stoic}} [[LadyOfWar general]] who typically dabbles in law enforcement, Miko is a playful [[TheGadfly gadfly]] who caters to her country's spiritual needs, as well as festivities in conjunction with the Yashiro Commission. Also, whereas Sara [[UndyingLoyalty is loyal to the Shogun almost to the point of]] BlindObedience, typically referring to her with great respect and rarely criticizing her, Miko, while certainly caring for Ei, [[NoBadassToHisValet isn't above teasing and/or criticizing her decisions]], such as [[spoiler:her becoming a recluse and leaving a pre-programmed puppet in charge of Inazuma to deal with her trauma, as well as all the trouble it causes]].

* ShipTease:
** Watching a fireworks festival together is an activity with a lot of romantic significance in Japan, which is alluded to twice by her.
*** Yoimiya and the Traveler watch the firework festival together at the end of her story quest. In that same quest, she also asks the Traveler if they'd consider staying in Inazuma once their journey was finished.
*** In her "More About: V" voice-over, Yoimiya also suggests that, instead of finishing the tale about her family, they should sit and watch the fireworks in silence, claiming "[their] story is only just beginning".
** The end of her second story quest has Yoimiya grab ahold of the Traveler's hand and jump off of a cliff, and landing [[spoiler:on [[ItMakesSenseInContext a star in the Mahavanaranapna dream realm]]. Immediately followed by [[CatchAFallingStar catching a free falling Yoimiya midair]] and holding her in a BridalCarry while watching the meteor shower]].
