Lady Inari (voiced in Japanese by Kana Hanazawa and in English by Kristen McGuire) is the leader of the main group of antagonists in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

She is a Kitsune shifter that rules over the majority of Shinjuku by hypnotically leading the Shinjuku police team, and can be violent and ruthless at the drop of a hat, not hesitating to go full fox mode and tear into someone. Kon used to be her subordinate before defecting, and Nobimaru follows her but absolutely cannot stand her.

Lady Inari has purple eyes and reddish burgundy hair. The outfit she wears is business-like, a purple two toned shirt topped with a blue neckpiece, a white pencil skirt, and white stiletto heels. She wears a (possibly) faux fur coat meant to mimic the appearance of nine fox tails, and she finishes off the look with dangling earrings, red lipstick, and matching nail polish.

Inugami (voiced in Japanese by Junichi Suwabe and in English by Patrick Seitz) is the head of the Supernatural Detective Agency that Kabane, Akira, and Shiki live and work at, in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

He specializes in aiding other supernatural beings, and uses transformative magic due to being a tanuki, which has lead to him being extremely at odds with Lady Inari and the rest of the foxes.

Inugami has golden fluffy hair tied back in a loose ponytail, and he wears a tannish-gold suit vest and pants over a long sleeve dark green button-up shirt, topped with a light green tie. He also has a pair of light brown oxford loafers.

Shiki Tademaru (voiced in Japanese by Natsuki Hanae and in English by A.J. Beckles) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

He is one of the employees of the supernatural agency that Inugami runs, and is also half-human, like Kabane. Shiki is part spider Kemono and has the ability to use spiderwebs.

He has short spikey greyish pink hair, pinkish-purple eyes, and his outfit is mildly spider themed to go with his powers. Shiki wears a grey t-shirt underneath his jacket, which is a muted magenta color decorated with a spider web, with black and white detailing along the sleeves and hems, grey pants, and black shoes with magenta soles.

Kabane Kusaka (voiced in Japanese by Natsumi Fujiwara and in English by Madeleine Morris) is the main character of the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

He starts off the series completely isolated from people that aren’t his abusive aunt and cousin until he’s rescued by Inugami and taken to join his supernatural agency, where he meets Akira and Shiki. Kabane is half-human and is using the aid of the agency to try and find his parents.

Kabane has short, messy spiked black hair and big red eyes with very light and large eyebrows over top. The outfit that he wears is a reluctant hand-me-down from Shiki because he needed new clothes. It’s a two piece black and red shirt and jacket set with white skeleton detailing on the top half, and he wears black and white sneakers with red gloves finishing off the look.

Aya (voiced in Japanese by Kaede Hondo and in English by Corina Boettger) is one of the secondary characters in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

Revealed in Shiki’s backstory, Aya has complicated ties between the kemono and human world, as she was born to be used as a tool, instead of raised as a proper child. Since reconciling with her brother and mom, Aya has stepped extremely outside of the shell that she used to be and is very loudly her own person now.

She has bubblegum pink hair, tied up in a high ponytail, and purple eyes. Her chosen outfit consists of a burgundy choker collar, a matching tube top, light blue short-shorts with spider webbing at the bottom, an over-sized jacket that matches her hair, with a gold spiderweb on it alluding to her powers, and the look is finished off with black socks and red high-top sneakers.

Nobimaru (voiced in Japanese by Hiro Shimono and in English by Kevin K. Gomez) is a complex character from the anime Kemono Jihen, that tends to ping-pong between the main group and the kitsunes.

He is in the employ of Lady Inari, who Kon used to be a subordinate to, but also tends to show up around Kabane and his friends to give them dubious help on occasion because he rather dislikes Lady Inari despite working for her.

Nobimaru has another form that hasn’t been shown yet in the anime (manga only), as well as his fox form, but the main one we see him in is a thirteen year old boy with blonde hair and golden brown eyes. He does also have a fox tail and ears, but he hides them within his outfit, hence the ear covers.

His main outfit consists of a greenish-yellow button up shirt, a pale yellow tie, black short shorts and a matching suit jacket, long white socks held up by black sock garters, and then light brown loafers.

Kon (voiced in Japanese by Yumiri Hanamori and in English by Brittany Lauda) is one of the antagonists turned mains in the anime Kemono Jihen.

She is a kitsune (fox) and used to be party of Lady Inari’s group, along with Nobimaru, but defected early on to go with Kabane and his friends, which was a much safer and happier option for her.

As a kitsune, she has some typical fox traits, including the light tan fluffy ears and tail that she hides in her hoodie, and small fangs. She has soft purple blue eyes and light blond hair tied in two low ponytails by her neck.

Her main outfit that she wears is a black striped white FOX brand hoodie with ear covers, hairclips on the edge of the hood, a black choker, black fingerless short gloves, black leggings with purple stripes crossing up them, and white sneakers with black side stripes.

Mihai Florescu (voiced in Japanese by Daisuke Ono and in English by Matt Shipman) is a semi-main/semi-secondary character in the anime Kemono Jihen.

He lives in a side room at the Inugami Detective Agency, and works with the team there as the one in charge of all their tech connections and providing them with resources on the shadier side of the law. Due to being a vampire, he has had many long years studying and mastering a wide variety of skills, eventually got bored with them, and then became a game creator and tech expert because it was the one thing he could find that was always evolving and kept him entertained.

He has a very typical anime-vampire look, with chin length fluffy silvery-grey hair, pointed ears, and red eyes. The outfit he wears is extremely simple, it is just some of Inugami’s old grey sweats that he let him borrow, which ended up being just slightly too big for his frame.
