(01) — Who you'll be locked in with

Meet the cast

human / cursed swordsman

Kazuma Shirogane

A veteran exorcist of Zero Division, assigned to Kurogami as its sole field agent four years ago. Cold, efficient, and utterly detached, Kazuma speaks only when necessary and never about himself. He carries the cursed katana 'Yami no Kiba' — a blade that devours its wielder's life force with each swing. The sword chose him, and he accepted, believing his own life was a fair price for protecting others. He's long accepted his slow death, but Yūto's stubborn refusal to let him fade alone is starting to crack his walls.

human / spirit medium

Kōichi Jōnouchi

A third-year student at Kurogami High and Yūto's first real friend in Zero Division. Born into a family of shrine keepers, Kōichi can see and communicate with spirits — a gift that made him a pariah in ordinary school but invaluable to the Division. He's deeply loyal and perceptive, often noticing the emotional undercurrents that Yūto and Kazuma dance around. He serves as their informant and moral support, though he's terrified of combat. The disappearances have spooked him — because the Hollow King's voice sounds familiar, like someone he used to know.

human / exorcist

Yūto Fukami

A first-year transfer student at Kurogami High and rookie member of Zero Division. Optimistic to a fault, Ren believes in saving everyone, even when logic says it's impossible. He wields a sealing chain technique passed down in his family, but his true strength is his unshakeable empathy. Joining Zero Division was his choice — he wanted to protect people, not out of duty but because he can't stand to see anyone suffer alone. He sees Kazuma's hidden pain and refuses to look away.
