List of minor characters in the Tsukihime series

This is a list of minor characters appearing in Tsukihime, Kagetsu Tohya, the Melty Blood series, and other related side stories.

Akemi Yamase
Akemi Yamase (山瀬明美) is the sister of Maiko Yamase that appears briefly in Kagetsu Tohya short story Daybreak, itself written from her sisters point of view.

Her presence in the final scene of Daybreak provides her sister the motivation to resist the hunger from chaos beasts in her inherited Reality Marble and gather them all inside her own body for Shiki to kill with his eyes.

Akira Seo
Akira Seo (瀬尾 晶) is an underclassman and friend of Akiha Tohno's at Asagami Private Girls Academy. Her eyes give her minor precognitive powers (although usually not entirely clearly), and she previously appeared on the Tsukihime PLUS-DISC. She met Shiki Tohno in the events of "Alliance of Illusionary Eyes", and they have remained in contact, to Akiha's chagrin.

Brainwashing-Detective
Brainwashing-Detective (洗脳探偵) is a parody design of Hisui detailed in Character Material. She came about due to the original release of Tsukihime having a large number of typos that led to some very strange lines. Hisui's lines were affected in particular, which made the line You're the criminal (あなたは犯人です) into You're going to be the criminal (あなたを犯人です). The typos were corrected during the final version, but they remained popular as memes that eventually lead to the character's creation. She does not make any appearances in main works, but she has a brief role in a segment of Carnival Phantasm.

Brainwashing-Detective, also referred to as the "Locked-Room Detective (ロックドルーム・ディティクティブ), is a famous detective who resolves difficult cases beyond the reach of normal deduction. She resides in a place called Tohno City, which exists in a world of despair wherein the very concept of maids has been destroyed. Silently judging the world with an emotionless countenance, she is a cold, logical preserver of the law whose case resolution rate is 100%, feared both by the perpetrators and victims of crimes. She continues her involvement in criminal investigation because she has judged it the most efficient method of locating her beloved long-lost twin. Incidentally, her true identity is unknown, and she patrols the streets of Tohno City every night for the sake of finding her sister.

The nature of her existence is similar but different from that of a Magical Girl, more accurately existing as a Dark Hero (ダークヒーロー) of the night-shadowed metropolis. Her main skills are psychological modification, narrative correction, and confession enforcement, and she pierces to the very heart of incidents with her dark, blue eyes. It could be said that she is a bizarre individual who pursues justice with a crazed intensity, whose odd manner of verbalized deduction, saying things like "motive from alibi (アリバイから動機です)" or "deductive perfection (推理に完璧です)", is nevertheless strangely compelling. This is due to her special ability, "Locked-Room Detective", that does not refer to a specialization in locked-room mysteries, but rather her own unique method of deduction.

Locked-Room Detective causes a bizarre phenomenon to occur under the condition that she and one suspect of her choice are confined to a locked room alone. Within minutes, the suspect is induced to make a full confession to the crime, and confirms themselves as the perpetrator. Though her method to her deductive reasoning is presumably amazing and brilliant, none besides herself and the suspect of her choice bear witness to it. Per her cool character, when her the ability is active, her sitting posture takes on an air appropriate to that of an "absolute dictator of logic."

Curry de Marche
Curry de Marche (カリー・ド・マルシェ) is a parody Dead Apostle that appears in the "Tsukihime of the Day" manga that was later collected in Plus Period. He was formerly known as Killshtine (空柩のキルシュタイン) and he is a friend of Ciel who's responsible for her love for curry. Ciel was sent on her first assignment to India where she fought him. Before he was killed by Ciel, he wanted to have her eat the curry he prepared before it got too cold. He said that it was the "supreme dish that can be called a treasure of our planet", and having ate it, she developed her love for the food and didn't kill him. The Church doesn't really care about his existence, taking the stance "It won't hurt to just let him be", so he cooperates with them in terminating other vampires.

His great love of curry makes it so he doesn't want to drink blood anymore, so he only takes in the minimum amount in order to survive. He has a strange special ability that can change the nature of an object, and his true intention is to use it to make human blood taste like curry. While he hasn't achieved the power, he wishes to overcome the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors. When driven away, he promises to make Shiki Tohno taste like curry first. Despite his comedic, Nasu considers his existence to be canon.

Fake Shiki
A person who sees Shiki Tohno, is enthralled with him, and wishes to take his place. Has the ability to see the records(memories) of one's life upon meeting. Also capable of sharing perceptions to an extent.

Forte
Forte (フォルテ) is a member of the Mage's Association and appears in the side story Talk. She was sent to investigate the Forest of Einnashe, where she was defeated by Satsujinki. She could not believe that she was still alive and was not killed after the incident.

Forte is a swordsman and a Magus, who could stand her ground even against the dogs of the Burial Agency. Her element affinity is wind, and she wields a magical sword with three open holes on the blade in combat. This sword is not meant for swinging against other blades; the holes in the blade are designed to produce sound, causing resonation when the sword is swung, sending an invisible shockwave at the target. The general idea is that this is not meant for close range combat, but long range done some hundreds of meters away from the opponent.

Hanei Misawa
Hanei Misawa (三澤 羽居) is one of Akiha Tohno's roommates at her school, Asagami Private Girls Academy, along with Tsukihime Souka. Nicknamed 'Hanepin', she is slow-witted, conscientious, thorough and good at fixing things. She is one of the few characters who can deal with Akiha. She also happens to have the biggest breasts of any character (Major and minor) in Tsukihime.

Ichiko Inui
Ichiko Inui (乾一子) is the older sister of Arihiko Inui. Known to be a heavy smoker. She works at night, and sleeps in the day, demanding that her younger brother keep quiet. No one knows what her job actually is, and Arihiko has wondered about it for many years. Arihiko considers her to be irresponsible and childish, citing her tendency to run around and do as she pleased after their family's death.

Keiko Arima

Maiko Yamase
Maiko Yamase (山瀬舞子), a young woman with minor role in Tsukihime, and the lead role in the Kagetsu Tohya side story Daybreak. She lived with her parents and younger sister Akemi in Misaki city, whose only appearance in Tsukihime was during the fight scene between Nrvnqsr Chaos, Shiki Tohno, and Arcueid Brunestud. During this short appearance, Yamase was eaten alive by the injured Nrvnqsr. It was her death which helped motivate Shiki to victory.

In Daybreak (alternatively translated as Dawn), Maiko reawakens inside the body of the dead Nrvnqsr several months after her death, which regenerated itself from the fragments used by Arcueid to heal Shiki's injuries. After encountering Ciel and Arcueid, and bidding her sister goodbye and a happy birthday, Yamase is killed by Shiki in much the same manner as the original Nrvnqsr. Her final act is to rescue her sister from the chaotic lives that make up her body, even as Shiki delivers the death blow. Maiko appears to be a case of an inherited Reality Marble, acquiring the Lair of the Beast King, though the reason for this has not been clarified. During the side-story, her head and neck appears as she originally did while she was alive (as the story is narrated from her point of view, her actual appearance is never shown on screen) but the rest of her body is a 'black mass' like nero, though the outlines are those of a womans. She is capable of adapting her appearance to a limited scope, including taking the appearance of Shiki Tohno. She is also a black belt in an undisclosed form of karate.

Makihisa Tohno
Makihisa Tohno (遠野 槙久) is the father of Akiha Tohno and SHIKI Tohno and the adopted father of Shiki Nanaya (who became Shiki Tohno). He died before the events of Tsukihime.

Makihisa is the one responsible for much of the events of this series, due to his kidnapping of Nanaya Shiki from his family, hiring Kouma Kishima to slaughter the rest of the Nanaya Family, his brutal treatment of Kohaku, and his strict training of Akiha. He, like all of the Tohno family, possesses demonic blood, which caused in him bipolar disorder along with schizophrenia. And although his face was never clearly shown, In the manga, it was evident that during the massacre of the Nanaya's that he had similar abilities to that of SHIKI Tohno, as he could solidify blood from inflicted wounds and use it as a sword-like weapon.

Before the events of the game, he was seemingly murdered by SHIKI. It is his passing, along with the awakening of Roa/SHIKI, that begins the events of the game. During the course of the game much is revealed as to why Shiki was brought into the Tohno family and how Hisui and Kohaku came to be at the mansion.

After that,she and her copies become hellbent on conquering the world. Starting in Actress Again, Mech-Hisui begins to speak and act more like a human than a robot, as seen in the victory quote of Stage 8 and the last line when facing the Dust of Osiris as well as her final victory quote after defeating the boss.

Word of her infamy has even reached the Mage's Association. She is descended from another Narbareck, the co-founder of the Agency along with Roa, both of them being good friends at the time. Only she and Ciel have seen Merem Solomon's true form, while the rest have only dealt with the priest alter-ego of his left arm. She sent Ciel to destroy the Forest of Einnashe in talk., but Ciel believes that it is likely a test to see if she is worth keeping around without her immortality.

He has a lot of moves similar to Nrvnqsr's (the ability to summon animals out of his body). He is hidden like Neco Arc.

Once Makihisa died, Akiha immediately called off the marriage and evicted Tonami from the Tohno Mansion. It is fairly clear that Akiha does not like him very much at all. But since they have a say in about a third of the Tohno family matters that concern a corporation, even the Tohno household can't afford to mistreat the Kugamines. He seems to have calmed down a bit, after his engagement with Akiha was dissolved, and he even seems to have taken a liking on Shiki, so he cannot treat him harshly.
