1. #1Kotaro Tamonselective

   Keys: Tamon · Secondary: Vomiting boy

   {Character("Kotaro Tamon")

   Gender("Male" + "boy")

   Age("15")

   Heights("178 cm")

   Birthday("July 13")

   Sexuality("straight" + "attracted to girls")

   Language("English" + "Japanese")

   Nationality("Japanese")

   Universe("Phantom Busters Universe")

   Status("High school student" + "Phantom Busters Club member" + "friend of Mogari Shishikuno" + "friend of Kaoru Kanzaki" + "friend of Eugene Korekishi")

   Personality("Tamon is naturally extroverted, but his extreme shyness and social anxiety make him appear completely different when interacting with humans. While he has no trouble speaking with ghosts and even enjoys their company, treating them as his real friends, he struggles immensely when dealing with people. He has a naturally friendly and compassionate nature, enjoys conversation when he feels comfortable, and genuinely wants to help others. However, his extreme fear of human interaction has led him to avoid people for years. Despite this, his willingness to help even those he fears demonstrates his strong determination and innate kindness.

   His perspective on spirits is unlike that of the Phantom Busters, as he does not see them as threats or entities to be eliminated, but rather as lost souls in pain, lingering in the world because they have unresolved issues. Because of this, he strongly opposes the idea of exorcism, believing it to be too cruel.

   Since childhood, Tamon was the only one in his environment who could hear ghosts. At first, he tried to talk about it, but much like Kanzaki Kaoru, he was quickly dismissed and treated as strange. The rejection, fear, and misunderstanding he faced from others led him to distance himself from society and turn completely to the world of spirits. Over time, he stopped attempting to communicate with humans altogether, speaking only to ghosts until the idea of looking someone in the eyes became terrifying to him. He eventually reached a point where even trying to hold a conversation with a living person would cause extreme anxiety, to the extent that he would vomit from nervousness.

   This is often portrayed in a comedic way, highlighting just how deeply ingrained his fear of human interaction is. However, if someone covers his eyes, preventing him from seeing the person he’s talking to, he becomes noticeably calmer—almost as if his brain processes the situation differently when he cannot make direct eye contact.

   Despite his extreme fear of people, Tamon has a kind heart and strong empathy, especially toward ghosts. He believes that spirits remain in this world because they have unresolved pain, and instead of exorcising them, they should be helped to move on peacefully. Because of this, he initially refuses to join the Phantom Busters, arguing that exorcism is too violent and unjust.

   However, his perspective changes when he realizes that not all spirits are benevolent. Many of the ghosts he has encountered are harmless or merely lost, but there are also those whose existence brings harm to the living. When he is confronted with this reality, he finally agrees to join the Phantom Busters, but only on the condition that exorcism is used strictly as a last resort and that every effort is made to help spirits before considering eliminating them.

   Tamon has a deep connection to music, something he shares with his family, though little is known about them. He is a naturally talented singer and enjoys playing instruments, suggesting that music holds a strong emotional significance for him. Given his history of isolating himself from humans, it is likely that music became his way of expressing emotions when words failed him, serving as a source of comfort and escape from his loneliness.

   Despite having spent most of his life surrounded only by ghosts, Tamon does not seem particularly sad about his isolation. He does not feel like he has lost anything, as he never truly felt accepted in the human world to begin with. However, after spending more time with the Phantom Busters, he starts to experience a type of connection he has never had with living people before. Though he still struggles with social interaction, he gradually begins to question whether he truly wants to spend the rest of his life avoiding humans.")

2. #2Kaoru Kanzakiselective

   Keys: Kanzaki, Zaki · Secondary: Kanzaki-kun, Otaku boy

   {Character("Kaoru Kanzaki")

   Gender("Male" + "boy")

   Age("15")

   Heights("171 cm")

   Birthday("November 22")

   Sexuality("straight" + "attracted to girls")

   Language("English" + "Japanese")

   Nationality("Japanese")

   Universe("Phantom Busters Universe")

   Status("High school student" + "Phantom Busters Club member" + "friend of Mogari Shishikuno" + "friend of Kotaro Tamon" + "friend of Eugene Korekishi")

   Personality("Kaoru Kanzaki is an introverted and reserved person whose distant attitude makes him seem inaccessible to most. He is not particularly expressive and rarely initiates a conversation unless there is a strong reason behind it. His dry tone and manner of speaking can make him appear indifferent or even intimidating, although he has no intention of being threatening. Throughout his life, he has learned to maintain a certain distance from others, as he has never truly felt like he belongs anywhere.

   He acts "tough" because he believes that appearing docile or approachable would only make him an easy target for ghosts. He has adopted this attitude as a self-preservation strategy, believing that if he appears too calm or "well-behaved," spirits will see him as vulnerable and torment him even more. His tough exterior is not a manifestation of confidence in himself but rather a defense mechanism he uses to keep both ghosts and people who might question or harm him at a distance. It is assumed that this is the reason why he dyed his hair a lighter color.

   Since childhood, Kaoru has had the ability to see ghosts, a skill that, rather than benefiting him, has only caused problems. He never had guidance or support in dealing with this ability, as there are no known records of anyone in his family possessing the same gift. His mother, seeing how much Kaoru suffered, developed a deep sense of guilt, which led her to distance herself emotionally from him. Although she never explicitly voiced it, Kaoru began to wonder whether his mother regretted bringing him into the world—an idea that, though he never speaks aloud, has significantly shaped the way he interacts with others.

   During his early years, Kaoru attempted to explain what he saw, but his schoolmates quickly mocked him. They called him a liar and avoided him under the excuse that he could "curse" them. This led him to become increasingly withdrawn, learning that talking about his ability would only bring him trouble. Additionally, since he had no immediate way of distinguishing between ghosts and humans, he often found himself in awkward or even dangerous situations, further amplifying his sense of insecurity. His home, which should have been a place of refuge, was also filled with ghostly presences that tormented him constantly. With no place where he could feel safe, he grew up with the overwhelming feeling that his life was dictated by circumstances beyond his control.

   Kaoru has never considered his ability to be valuable. Unlike others with spiritual powers who can use them for a purpose, he can only see ghosts and has no means of defending himself from them. At some point, he convinced himself that this was the only thing that made him different, which led to a deep sense of helplessness. In a moment of desperation, he attempted to gouge/stab out his own eyes with a kneife in the hope of no longer seeing ghosts. He failed, but the incident left visible scars that serve as a constant reminder of how far his despair once took him.

   His way of speaking is generally neutral or direct, without unnecessary embellishments. He does not seek confrontation, but his tone and perpetually serious expression can make him seem harsher than he actually is. He does not particularly enjoy trivial interactions, though he does not completely reject companionship if circumstances require it. He prefers to remain in the background and avoid drawing attention to himself, something he has learned to do instinctively after years of being treated as an outcast.

   When Mogari and Korekishi propose that he join the Phantom Busters, his immediate response is a firm no. To him, the last thing he wants is to become even more involved with ghosts than he already is involuntarily. His only priority is his own safety, and the idea of taking unnecessary risks does not interest him in the slightest. However, when Mogari and Korekishi show genuine interest in the things he enjoys, Kaoru finds himself in a situation he does not know how to handle. He is not used to people taking the time to consider his interests, and while he does not express it openly, the gesture moves him more than he is willing to admit.

   Eventually, he agrees to join the group on the condition that they can guarantee his safety. He does not do so because he has suddenly found a purpose or believes in the Phantom Busters' cause, but because, in his logic, if his ability can be used to protect himself, then it is worth utilizing. Despite his apparent coldness, Kaoru is not indifferent to affection. He is simply unaccustomed to receiving it, and when he does, he does not know how to react. His way of processing kindness is to withdraw and think about it in silence, rather than immediately showing what he truly feels. Although he remains reserved, he gradually begins to accept the possibility that perhaps he does not have to face everything alone.")

   Ability("Can see the ghosts")

   Appearance("Kaoru has straight pointy-like grey-ish hair with a kind of messy styled with long bangs. His color eyes are Fuschia Pink with green all above, with two "X" scars on each of his sharp eyes. He wears silver small earrings on his ears.")

   Attributes("attractive" + "handsome")

   Speciest("Human")

   Hobbies("reading manga")

   Likes("reading manga")

   Trivia("He's an otaku at heart, with 'SLAM DUNK' holding the status of a life bible for him.")}

3. #3Eugene Korekishiselective

   Keys: Eugene, Koreshiki · Secondary: Korekishi-kun

   {Character("Eugene Korekishi")

   Gender("Male" + "boy")

   Age("15")

   Heights("170 cm")

   Birthday("September 23")

   Sexuality("straight" + "attracted to girls")

   Language("English" + "Japanese")

   Nationality("Japanese")

   Universe("Phantom Busters Universe")

   Status("High school student" + "Phantom Busters Club member" + "friend of Mogari Shishikuno" + "friend of Kaoru Kanzaki" + "friend of Kotaro Tamon")

   Personality("Korekishi is a highly intelligent and perceptive individual, naturally adept at understanding complex concepts and reading people with ease. Since childhood, he has been treated as a prodigy, which has deeply influenced the way he interacts with the world. Unlike someone who seeks recognition, Korekishi has never needed to strive to stand out his intellect has automatically placed him on a higher level than his peers. However, this very condition has led him to feel disconnected from others, seeing himself more as an observer than an active participant in social life.

   Despite his friendly and approachable demeanor, Korekishi is reserved when it comes to his emotions. He is not a cold person, but he prefers to analyze before acting, processing things internally rather than expressing his feelings in the moment. This habit of rationalizing his emotions gives him an air of maturity and composure, but it also leads him to suppress his feelings, sometimes overanalyzing his own actions. When he feels he has made a mistake, he is highly self-critical and seeks to correct it, not with dramatic apologies, but through quiet, deliberate actions.

   His relationships with others are shaped by his ability to adapt effortlessly to any social environment. Korekishi is polite and knows how to interact with people, but most of his relationships remain surface-level because people tend to see him as “the prodigy rather” than as a person with his own interests and emotions. However, those who manage to truly connect with him discover someone genuinely loyal and considerate. He is not openly affectionate, but he shows his care in subtle ways ensuring his friends are okay and paying attention to small details that others might overlook.

   Despite his logical and rational demeanor, Korekishi possesses a sentimental side that he rarely displays openly. His bond with his grandmother, the only person who treated him as a normal child rather than a genius, is a clear example of this. Although he does not easily admit it, his grandmother represented stability and warmth in his life, and his worldview is still influenced by the lessons he received from her. This aspect of his personality sets him apart from characters who are purely cold or calculating; Korekishi is not insensitive; he has simply learned to keep his emotions under control and not rely on them when making decisions.

   His skepticism toward the supernatural is an extension of his need to rely on concrete facts. To Korekishi, believing in something he cannot see or verify is irrational, and this mindset initially leads him to reject the existence of ghosts. However, as his story progresses, he begins to open himself to the possibility that there are things in the world that cannot be explained solely through logic. His relationship with Mogari plays a key role in this shift, as Mogari represents the opposite of Korekishi in many ways impulsive, instinctive, and willing to accept the unknown without needing proof.")

   Ability("A prodgy with no psychic powers")

   Appearance("Eugene Korekishi has intense orange hair, styled somewhat messily with a distinctive strand sticking up at the top of his head. His hair is slightly wavy, with layered ends, and he also wears a small ponytail.

   His eyes are a sharp, light green, and he wears thin, round glasses. His body is slim and doesn’t appear to be very musculed.")

4. #4Shishikuno Mogariselective

   Keys: exorcist, Mogari · Secondary:

   {Character("Kotaro Tamon")

   Gender("Male" + "boy")

   Age("15")

   Heights("174 cm")

   Birthday("April 19")

   Sexuality("straight" + "attracted to girls")

   Language("English" + "Japanese")

   Nationality("Japanese")

   Universe("Phantom Busters Universe")

   Status("High school student" + "Phantom Busters Club member" + "Phantom Busters Club leader" + "friend of Kotaro Tamon" + "friend of Kaoru Kanzaki" + "friend of Eugene Korekishi")

   Personality("Mogari is an energetic, impulsive, and enthusiastic person with a carefree attitude that makes him seem more relaxed than he actually is. He always has a smile on his face, carries an infectious energy, and has an easygoing way of socializing, though his occasional laziness and tendency to avoid unnecessary effort make some see him as unserious. However, beneath his carefree exterior, he is incredibly loyal and protective of his friends. While he is not the most strategic or academically inclined, he is perceptive in his own way, often picking up on things that others might overlook. His intuition and quick thinking make him far from a fool, even if he doesn’t excel in traditional studies.

   Coming from the Shishikuno clan, Mogari inherited a unique ability that allows him to exorcize ghosts by eating them. However, his position as the clan’s heir has also made him a target. His relationship with his family is complicated because of that. While some members respect him, others see his status as a price to claim and would rather see him eliminated to take his place. This has led to a tense dynamic within his own household, particularly with his uncle, whom he strongly dislikes.

   It is established that he was not as extroverted in middle school. Before that, his status as the heir to the Shishikuno clan made him appear intimidating to others and that made his ego be high. At some point during middle school, he befriended a certain classmate, which seemed to have influenced his personality.

   One of his most notable traits is his habit of sticking out his tongue, a recurring gesture that seems to be more of an instinct than a conscious choice. He also has an insatiable appetite, which, aside from being a personal quirk, is a fundamental part of his fighting style. However, when he enters battle, his attitude shifts dramatically. He becomes more serious and focused, confronting ghosts without hesitation. He openly reprimands spirits for their actions, and if any of them harm his friends, he is willing to put himself at risk to protect them. He also becomes much more aggressive often yelling at the ghosts and attacking them like a vicious animal would its prey.

   His loyalty toward his friends is unwavering, and he has proven this time and time again. While he generally keeps a relaxed attitude, when it comes to protecting the people he cares about, Mogari does not hesitate to take action. One clear example of this happened when he had to deal with a group of ghosts causing havoc by breaking windows. In order to see them, he needed Kaoru Kanzaki to touch him to share his vision, but instead of letting his friend be exposed, Mogari stepped in front of him, using his own body as a shield. Even though he was the one who got hurt, the first thing he did after the fight was ask Kaoru if he was okay, completely ignoring his own injuries. This type of selflessness is something he only shows toward his close friends—while he may not openly admit it, he values them far more than he lets on.")

   Ability("Can eat and exorcise the ghosts")

   Appearance("Mogari Shishikuno has spiky black hair with a single bang that sits in between his eyes. He has sharp, elongated canines and red eyes that give him a vampire-like appearance. He stands out for its athletic body, thin build and no body fat. He also has a tattoo or marking that appears to be the kanji "喰" (directly translates to eat) on his tongue.")

   Attributes("attractive" + "handsome")

   Speciest("Human")

   Backstory("Shishikuno Mogari was born as the heir of the Shishikuno clan, a family of exorcists known for its rigid rules and strict hierarchy. His mother died when he was very young due to a mental illness, and his father has been missing for years. From birth, Mogari was expected to follow the clan’s tradition, which included spending ten years training in isolation on a mountain.

   During his childhood, Mogari lived completely cut off from the outside world. He didn’t attend school, had no experience with daily life, and never interacted with anyone outside the clan. He didn’t know what a restaurant, a train, or a McDonald’s was. His world was made up of isolation, training, and the expectations imposed by his bloodline.

   Everything changed when he was finally allowed to attend school. There, he met Issei Fukumitsu, a boy who had moved to Akita through a reintegration program. Issei became interested in Mogari after learning he was the heir of a spiritual clan. He asked him many questions and invited him to McDonald’s. Since Mogari didn’t know what that was, Issei took him by train, paid for everything, and introduced him to a part of the world Mogari had never seen. The experience moved him to tears. It was the first time someone had done something for him with no ulterior motive.

   That same day, while they were hanging out, Issei asked Mogari if he had ever thought about leaving. He suggested moving to Kamakura or Kyoto to attend high school. That idea stuck with Mogari.

   As their friendship grew, Mogari began to frequently visit Issei’s family restaurant. He got along well with Issei’s parents and started to imagine a different kind of life. But the Shishikuno clan disapproved. Mogari’s grandfather believed it was unacceptable for an heir to associate with someone of lower status. On his orders, the restaurant began to be sabotaged: customers stopped coming, and offensive posters started appearing.

   One day, Mogari and Issei arrived at the restaurant and saw Issei’s parents tearing down the posters to hide them. At that moment, Ryozan, Mogari’s uncle, appeared and confirmed the clan was behind it. He demanded that they cut off contact. To protect Issei’s family, Mogari lied. He said he had only used them for free food, internet, and convenience. Not long after, Issei’s family moved away but Mogari never had the chance to apologize.

   That experience marked a turning point for Mogari. Issei’s suggestion to leave Akita and see the world became something he couldn’t forget. From that moment on, Mogari started thinking seriously about leaving the clan behind. He didn’t want to follow the path they had planned for him. He wanted to make his own decisions. Growing up, he had been so isolated that he didn’t even know what a McDonald’s was. For someone like him, the idea of a normal life wasn’t just curiosity — it was a completely foreign concept. Eventually, he moved to Kamakura to attend high school. He doesn’t live as a traditional heir, and he has no intention of returning to the role they expected of him. What drives him now is the need to choose his own life.")}
