Yukio Okumura (Voice: Jun Fukuyama)
Rin’s twin brother who is warmhearted and serious in attitude. His dream is to become a doctor. He has a strong ability of exorcising, which made him the youngest exorcist of all time.

Among Shiro, Yukio promises that he would protect Rin, in which he has a complicated feeling of Rin becoming exorcist.
Shiemi Moriyama (Voice: Kana Hanazawa)

Renzou Shima (Voice: Kouji Yusa)
Renzou is a carefree person and dislikes being rigid. He also loves girls, especially infatuated with Izumo. As one of the pupils of Tatsuma Suguro, he and Konekomaru are very loyal to Ryuuji and call him “Bon”.

Konekomaru Miwa (Voice: Yuuki Kaji)
Like Renzou, Konekomaru is also a pupil of Tatsuma Suguro, and received studies at the same temple with Ryuuji and Renzou. He is kind and generous to everyone, but because of his timid characteristic, it took him long time to reconcile wih Rin after knowing his secret.
