Characters knight vampire. Review of the anime series Vampire Knight What are the names of the anime characters Vampire Knight

Kaien Cross (黒主理事長 Kurosu Rijicho?) is Yuki's adoptive father, the rector of Cross Academy and a former vampire hunter. His dream is mutual understanding between vampires and humans. The creation of the Night Class helps make this dream come true.
Sometimes he falls into childhood and is overly expressive, but he is well versed in his craft and knows how to be serious at the right moments.

Toga Yagari (Japanese 夜刈十牙 Yagari Toga?) is a vampire hunter. Previously he was the teacher of Zero and Ichiru. Many years ago, he lost an eye while saving Zero. For a time he was a Night Class teacher at Cross Academy. Continues to take care of Zero, although he does it in a very peculiar way. When the Council of Elders sentences Zero to death for killing Shizuka, Yagari is the only one to protest. He leaves a pistol for Zero so that he can shoot himself with honor if he runs out of strength to hold on and begins to fall to level E.

Shizuka Hio (Japanese 緋桜閑 Hio: Shizuka?) is a purebred vampire who bit Zero. Even her closest vampires are afraid to be near her. She is also known as the "Mad Blooming Princess", a nickname given to her by those close to her. The Vampire She Loved ( former person, who promised not to fall to Level E), was killed by Kiriya's vampire hunters, although he had not yet dropped to Level E. As revenge, she attacked Kiriya's family, killed his parents and turned Zero into a vampire, while his twin brother Ichiru left together with her and became her human servant. According to Shizuka, Ichiru is the only one she simply could not turn into a vampire. Her blood could have stopped Zero's fall to Level E, but she was killed by Kaname, who promised her before his death that her death would not be in vain and the one she hated so much, the one who played with the destinies of the purebloods, would be destroyed.

Ichiru Kiryu (Japanese: 錐生壱縷 Kiryu: Ichiru?) - Zero's twin brother. As children, they were taught by Toga Yagari. Ichiru did not possess the abilities that his brother possessed and, in addition, was very sickly. Zero and Ichiru were very close in childhood, but after Ichiru realized that he could never compare with his brother, and accidentally heard that his parents preferred to make Zero the heir of the clan rather than him, he hated his brother. When Shizuka attacked their family, he was the only one left untouched. He left with her and became her servant. Shizuka shared blood with him, causing Ichiru’s natural soreness to disappear. He loves Shizuka very much and takes her death hard. Joined Rido after he promised that those responsible for Shizuka's death would die, and reappeared at Cross Academy as a full-time student. Seems hostile towards Yuki, Zero and Kaname, but it turns out that his choice is not so clear-cut. In chapter 40 of the manga, he actually sacrifices himself to give his brother strength.

Maria Kurenai (Japanese: 紅まり亜 Kurenai Maria?) is a very distant relative of Shizuka Hio. She agreed to give Shizuka her body because she promised to make it stronger and more resilient, and Maria was naturally in poor health. She is a very modest and obedient girl, but this is combined with great emotionality. After Shizuka's death, Maria returned to her family, but before that, she asked Yuki to tell Ichiru that she would like to see him again.

Asato Ichijou (Japanese: 一条麻遠 Ichijou Asato?) ("First Elder") - Takuma's grandfather and Head of the Vampire Council. Kaname lived with him for some time after the death of his parents. Asato wanted to adopt him, but Kaname refused. Ichijou allowed his grandson to attend the Academy so that he could keep an eye on Kaname. Very cunning and calculating. I would like to see Rido, and not Kaname, at the head of the Kuran clan.

Sarah Shirabuki is a purebred vampire, heir to the Shirabuki clan. I have known Kaname since childhood. He believes that purebloods should stick together and understands perfectly well how difficult it is for Kaname among ordinary vampires and people.

Haruka Kuran is a pureblood vampire and the father of Yuki and Kaname. A pacifist, he did not want to participate in the affairs of the Council of Elders. He guessed about Rido's plans regarding his children, so Yuki's birth was a secret to everyone. For a long time held back Rideau's mini-army, but was eventually killed by him.

Juri Kuran is a pureblood vampire and the mother of Yuki and Kaname. Donated own life, to turn Yuki into a human and give her a chance to live a normal life.

Rido Kuran is Yuki's uncle, Haruka and Juri's older brother, and Senri Shiki's father. Very power-hungry and cunning. Has his own mini-army of category D vampires. The master who awakened Kaname from his sleep. Kaname was once severely wounded while trying to attack Yuki (as a result of those events, Yuki’s parents died, and she herself became human). It took a long time to recover, and did not lose the ability to move into someone else’s body. Thus, he inhabited the body of his son, Senri, and went to Cross Academy for Yuki. Ichiru Kiriya joined him after Rido promised that those responsible for Shizuka's death would die. Kaname gave him his blood, after which his body quickly recovered. Launched an attack on the Academy. It is also known that he once loved Juri Kuran.

A unique example of stamping. IMHO, you still need to look for a more formulaic anime. The full set: light-dark, languid boys with glazed eyes, yaoi fanservice, simple-minded main character.

The plot is as simple as a nickel: vampires are bad, vampires are good. The bad ones - the so-called “class E” - kill people and are subject to destruction. The good ones are the high society of vampire society, supposedly suffering to live in peace with people. Cross Academy is an experimental platform for the coexistence of humans and vampires. The rector of the academy, a former vampire hunter, is trying to maintain a fragile peace by hook or by crook. Only the students of the “night class” actually have their own goals and objectives. And they participate in the experiment for personal reasons, and not for the notorious “peace.” It sounds more complicated and interesting than it actually is. Yes, and all this fades into the background, because over the course of 13 episodes we will watch how a girl, who was once saved from a “bad” vampire by a “good” vampire, will solve her heart problems. As usual, the girl fell in love with a good vampire and believes in peace between people and bloodsuckers. And there is also a boy in love, whose parents were killed by the notorious bloodsuckers. A boy who hates vampires with all his heart, but is slowly turning into a "Class E" himself. Why and what kind of class is this - this will already be a spoiler. The “good” vampire, with whom the girl is in love, becomes the head of the vampire half of the academy and cuts circles around the girl in order to taste her blood. Tasting blood is like having sex for a vampire. So, a triangle: vampire - girl - boy who hates vampires. The girl cannot choose, and these two languidly exchange “courtesy.” That's it, the intrigue has exhausted itself.

That this Yuki gave in to all of them so much, when there are so many other much more worthy contenders around, I personally don’t understand. Well, yes, naive. Well, yes, kind. Well, yes, sincere. But these “angels” in anime are already boring. She’s the only one who’s so good, she’s bright, and that’s why you have to carry her around like a sack. What did Yuki do? Never mind. He just makes promises at every step that he cannot keep. And to live next to a person for four years, without noticing that he is terminally ill, you also have to manage.

The main "good" vampire is a classic example of a kawaii bishounen. Eternal locks on the eyes, thin fingers, and in every movement there is so much languor that any courtesan would envy. Only now we’ve seen enough of these again. No, well, if this were the first or at least the third anime in my life, I would certainly fall into ecstasy over the brunette with red eyes.

The whole series you catch yourself saying “I’ve already seen this somewhere.” Stained glass windows of the academy - “Utena”, boys “for every taste”, accompanied by crowds of fans - “Ouran”, a katana that cuts a vampire to death - “Blood Plus”, a vampire hunter in a cowboy hat - everywhere from “Hunter Di” before the "Black Blood Brothers", the rector is a cross between Sobi and Abel Nightroad, a white-haired princess with cherry blossom petals - "X".

There is no plot. Secrets and intrigue are at the kindergarten level, everything becomes clear almost in the middle. Drawing - no, well, it always gets worse. (The most offensive thing is that the art and manga are very beautiful.) A vinaigrette of cliches and fan service. In my opinion, this heresy is worth watching only in one case: if you are a fan of vampire themes, but have already reviewed EVERYTHING on this topic. Otherwise, it’s not worth wasting time. Although... they have really cool school uniforms. I would cosplay.

So, the vampire theme stated in the last article will be continued in the current one. Today we will once again look at a manga about the relationship between people and vampires, both in genre and in concept that differs from the previous one. The work “Vampire Knight” is offered to readers.

This is a rather long 19-volume manga compared to Rising from the Ashes, published since 2005 under the authorship of Hino Matsuri. By the time Vampire Knight launched, Hino already had ten years of experience in the comics industry. Her first work was called "When This Dream Ends" and was well received by readers and editors, but the success of the debut was insignificant compared to the story about vampires.

The manga, which became the subject of our humble review, was adapted into an anime that was a success with audiences from all over the world. However, as a supporter of original stories, I won’t even begin to describe how much worse the film adaptation is than the original, but will simply move on to a direct review of the printed version.

Manga plot

The action takes place at the prestigious private Cross Academy around the 90s of the 20th century. This is remarkable educational institution the fact that studying, although it takes place according to the standard - in two shifts, still differs from the program of ordinary schools. Life at the academy is in full swing day and night, since there are two faculties - Day and Night. "Day" students are children from ordinary families, while "night" students are considered the elite and are superior to those living under the sun in all respects.

Due to the rules of the academy, the true meaning of which is kept secret, students from different departments must communicate with each other as little as possible. They are allowed to see each other only occasionally and under the strict control of the disciplinary committee.

The reason why ordinary people should stay away from the dormitory of the privileged class is clear from the very first pages to every reader, but not to most of the minor characters from the first shift. The pale skin, the striking beauty and strength of the night department students, their dislike of sunlight - everything points to an obvious and incredible truth: “A good half of the academy’s students are vampires.”

The main characters introduced to us right away are Yuuki and Zero. They are the prefects of the school, those who are allowed to know what is hidden even from most teachers. They are the ones who monitor compliance with the rules and regulations, trying, if possible, to maintain harmony between “blacks and whites.”

By the way, I describe students with this combination of antonyms not at all because of the hackneyed “people are light, and vampires are children of darkness,” but because of the difference in the colors of the faculties. People wear dark clothes, and vampire aristocrats wear porcelain white. A good design move by the author, slightly contradicting stereotypes.

Manga characters

However, we digress, and it’s time to finally talk about the characters. How, you ask, are people selected for the responsible positions of representatives of the discipline? This time it’s not at all about their transcendental abilities, everything is much simpler and more realistic. Our prefects are the adopted children of the academy director.

Since Vampire Knight is a shoujo manga, the vast majority of events revolve around Yuuki Cross. She is a kind and sweet 16-year-old girl who does not remember anything from her childhood until the moment she came to the director. Once upon a time, Yuuki was attacked by a vampire, and a guy named Kaname, who was a student in the night class at the beginning of the manga, saved her and brought her to her new father. It is not surprising that the heroine has a rather positive attitude towards vampires, helping them whenever possible and showing friendliness.

Despite her apparent carelessness, Yuuki is capable of making serious decisions and holding herself with relative dignity in various life situations. In addition, she can stand up for herself, fighting with the help of a special weapon - the Artemis scythe.

In general, the character is not bad, gradually developing, as a result of which by the end of the story we see a very smart and determined lady. But to say that she did not irritate me along the way of her formation is simply impossible. It is on Yuuki's throwing that most of the plot is built. The girl rushes between two fires for so long, trying to be on good terms with both heroes, she spends so long trying to understand herself that closer to the end it gets boring.

Unlike his half-sister, Zero is much colder and rude. He remembers his past perfectly, which does not add optimism to the character at all. Zero's parents, hereditary vampire hunters, were killed by one of them. In addition, the boy himself was bitten and turned into a bloodsucker, which doomed him to lifelong torment from bloodlust. This is why Zero hates “night” students and dreams of one day destroying them all.His weapon is the "Bloody Rose", a pistol given by the director.

Zero often acts rashly and cruelly, which in his character and behavior reminds him of Sasuke from Naruto. Perhaps it is precisely because of his dramatic past and impeccable appearance that the hero has crowds of female fans, but for me personally, this type of hero is never a favorite.

It would be a crime not to mention the third link in the Vampire Knight love triangle. Here he is, the main reason for all the disagreements between the director's children is Kaname Kuran. This is the same vampire to whom the main character owes her life. Kaname is the most respected student in the entire academy. He is both the night class president and the dormitory commander.

This hero is the complete opposite of the above. Polite and reasonable, and also very kind towards Yuuki. Kaname thinks about his every step. Thus, by the middle of the story we understand that his intentions are not as simple and pure as they might seem at first glance. If it were not for the last third of the story, one could call him a well-developed and thoughtful hero.

Cons of manga

And now, a big traditional fly in the ointment against the plot. From the very beginning it became clear that the result would be the heroine’s choice between her two lovers, and, as for me, the manga could have easily ended by volume 9-10. But, apparently, the mangaka felt that there weren’t enough surprising plot twists so far, which is why she turned the last part of the story into some semblance of Santa Barbara.

Almost with every volume, Kaname’s status in relation to other vampires changes, Zero becomes so confused in himself that he decides to kill everyone, and that’s the end of it, some new characters and relatives are announced and immediately merged. The heroes perform illogical actions just to increase ratings and unnecessary fan service (for example, Kaname, who doesn’t understand why, in one of the scenes paints Yuuki’s toenails).

"Vampire Knight" is a touching story about the life of vampires in human society. It talks about how such creatures can coexist hand in hand with those who are their potential food. The anime "Vampire Knight" shows us a story about an ordinary girl with her own problems. But the essence of her problems lies in the fact that she is faced with the choice of her life path. Beautiful vampires and a young girl, that's what can really intrigue us! And her choice is this: a mysterious “bad guy” with a complicated and tragic past or a noble, mysterious friend from childhood memories. This choice faces her throughout the entire anime. And both of these guys are in love with her, although each shows it as he sees fit.

The series takes place at Cross Academy, where there are two shifts of education: for a day class and a night class. The day class is filled with ordinary teenagers, and the night class is filled with vampires. And this division by class was created in order to prove and make sure that they can all live together and without any unnecessary problems. The idea of creating such a school belonged to the rector of the academy - the emotional and kind Cross Cayenne. This idea, most likely, was correct and had a positive ending, since after all, vampires were able to resist their animal instincts, suppressing them with a blood substitute - pills. But some of them are still very thirsty for human blood...

Yuki- the main character, the adopted daughter of the director of Cross Academy. She is a cheerful and carefree girl, the head girl. She practically does not remember what happened to her in childhood, as she has lost her memory. All that she remembers very well is a winter evening when she was attacked by a bloodthirsty vampire and saved by another - Kaname Kuran, who gave her under the care of Rector Cross. Since then, she gets along with him quite well, considers him her closest person, although she knows that he is the same as the one who attacked her. She is very attached to Kaname, even if he betrays her, she will forgive him and understand everything! But all this was until a mysterious boy, Zero, appeared at the academy. He looked very lonely and tragic. From that moment on, Yuki fell in love with Zero very much, wanted to help and support him in the most difficult moments of his life! This is where the triangle appears: Zero - Yuki - Kaname.

The plot gets very confusing when Yuki finds out that the man with whom she lived for 4 years, helping him and helping him out in everything, turns out to be a vampire. "Zero Vampire!" She found out when he unexpectedly bit her in the evening. Since Zero’s health was very bad (after all, he is not a purebred vampire, but just a victim who was bitten once in childhood), Yuki decided to give him a certain dose of this drug - her blood! She can’t leave him in trouble... But, nevertheless, he is trying to create a cold and impenetrable wall in his relationship with her. But his feelings are obvious!

Vampire Knight also features various battles between vampires, as well as vampires and hunters. The attitude of aristocratic vampires towards ordinary people, as well as against purebloods, is shown, and these relations are very diverse.

I would also like to briefly describe the main characters:

Zero Kiriu- Yuki's childhood friend, he is also the Guardian of Cross Academy and is on the disciplinary committee. His family was killed by the pureblood vampire Shizuka Hio when he was still a child. From that moment on, Zero hates all vampires and believes that they are all bloodthirsty monsters in human form and must die. And besides all this, he was also bitten by Shizuka, and she is a pureblood, which is why he turned into a vampire. Also, his body does not accept any blood substitutes and requires real blood, since he cannot quench his thirst.

Kaname Kuran- purebred vampire. He saved Yuki from a vampire who attacked her when she was six years old. Kaname is the president of the Night Class, he is feared and respected by the rest of the students. He is always cold and distant with his classmates, but is kind and affectionate with Yuki. He cares and protects her as best he can since he saved her. She is a little jealous of Zero, since he drinks Yuki's blood. He doesn’t need anyone but her in this life, and he will do everything to make her happy. Because he truly loves her.

Now I want to talk about music. The musical accompaniment in the anime is very suitable for the main plot. It cannot leave even the most fastidious people about music indifferent. This is a beautiful combination of violin and piano, these are works that bring to the deepest thoughts and make a person shed tears. Not everyone can write such works, only such a wonderful composer as Haketa Takefumi. Many thanks to him for this!
The drawing is wonderful, in moments it resembles a manga, all nature, people, faces are shown very beautifully. All this is at the highest level. The only thing that’s a little annoying is that the animators gave Yuki too big eyes, but in general everything is pretty good! Well done!

Finally, I want to express my deep gratitude to the creators of the anime and especially to Hino Matsuri!

Day Class

Yuki Cross (Japanese 黒主優姫 Kurosu Yuki?) is the adopted daughter of the director of Cross Academy, she is about 16 years old. Yuki is a member of the school's disciplinary committee, which provides the school with Guardians (Prefects). She is cheerful and carefree, and thanks to her work as a Guardian, she is able to hold her own in the most unpredictable situations. Ten years before the start of the series, Yuki was attacked by a vampire. Kaname killed him, saved Yuki and brought her to Principal Cross. Yuki did not remember anything about her life before this event and stayed with the director, becoming his adopted daughter. Yuki has a certain fear of Kaname because he is also a vampire, like the one who attacked her. At the same time, Yuki shares a strong friendship with Zero. From the very moment he appeared in her life, she wanted to help him and support him. When the vampire in Zero wins, Yuki gives him her blood, hoping to save him from madness. Yuki's blood attracts vampires more than anyone else's.
Her choice of weapon fell on "Artemis" (Artemis), a staff that was given to her by the director of Cross Academy.
At the beginning of the manga she looks like a rather childish teenager, but as the plot develops she is forced to grow up very quickly. She thinks that Kaname’s feelings for her are not too deep - “I’m like a favorite puppy or kitten for him”, she is fully aware that “they are from different worlds” and “the gap between them is very deep.”
At some point, she realizes that Kaname is connected with her erased childhood memories, and with the help of Zero, she tries to figure out her past, but Kaname is in no hurry to reveal her cards and sets Yuki a condition: she must accept his feelings, and then he will tell her the truth. Yuki doesn't have time to get used to her new role as a human "pureblood lover" because Rido Kuran infiltrates the Academy, and Kaname is forced to restore her memory by making her a vampire.
When Yuki was five years old, her existence was kept a secret to keep her safe. But the secret came true, and the evil brother of Yuki and Kaname's parents - Rido Kuran - came to take her away. Trying to save Yuki, her father died, and her mother, sacrificing herself, suppressed the vampire nature in Yuki so that she could live like an ordinary girl.
After chapter 38, it becomes known that Kaname is still not Yuki’s brother, but the ancestor of the Kuran clan, awakened by Rido, so Kaname cannot kill him.
Yuki is having trouble getting used to her new identity and even worse to her new relationship with Zero, which has become hostile. Despite strong mutual feelings, he confronts Kaname several times. Attacks Rido and, with Zero's help, kills him. After this, Yuki and Zero said goodbye, and Yuki left Cross Academy with Kaname and they returned to the family estate together.

Zero Kiryu (Japanese 錐生零 Zero Kiryu:?) - Yuki's childhood friend, he is also the Guardian of Cross Academy and is on the disciplinary committee. In the manga, he is 17 years old, but stayed for a second year to study in the same class as Yuki. Since childhood, Yuki constantly took care of him, encouraging him and trying to cheer him up. The Zero family, a clan of vampire hunters, was killed by the pureblood vampire Hio Shizuka when he was just a child. From that moment on, Zero hates all vampires and believes that they are all bloodthirsty monsters disguised as humans and must die. In addition, during the attack on his family, he was bitten by Shizuka, who is a pureblood vampire, and turned, which means that sooner or later he will end up as a category E vampire.
Zero's body does not accept the blood pills that most vampires take to quell their thirst. Yuki's blood helps him stay sane, but there is very little chance that it will save him from falling to level E. Only Shizuka's blood could do this, but she was killed by Kaname during the story of the manga.
Zero has feelings for Yuki, and he is the only person that Yuki is willing to stand up to even Kaname.
Zero's weapon is "Bloody Rose", a pistol given to him by Principal Cross. Loaded with special bullets that can mortally wound, but only a vampire. Zero made a promise from Yuki that if he fell to category E, she would personally shoot him with this pistol.
Zero has a twin brother, Ichiru.
After killing Ichiru and defeating Rido, Zero declares his goal to be the complete destruction of all pureblood vampires, and Yuki is first in line.

Sayori (Yori) Wakaba (Japanese: 若葉沙頼 Wakaba Yori?) - Yuki's dorm roommate and best friend. She is one of the few girls who is not interested in Night Class. She found them a little scary and preferred to interact with the students from the Day Class. However, she takes the fact that her best friend is a vampire calmly.
Because of Yori, Yuki flatly refuses to leave the academy with Kaname after Rido attacks them.
Anime voice actor: Riza Mizuno

Night Class
Kaname Kuran(Japanese: 玖蘭枢 Kuran Kaname?) - purebred vampire. His parents are Haruka and Juri Kuran. He saved Yuki from a vampire who attacked her when she was five years old. Kaname is the president of the Night Class and the commandant of the Lunar Dormitory, and is feared and respected by the rest of the Night Class students. Plays the role of the “Queen Mother”, it is because of him that many offspring of noble vampire families decided to enroll in the Cross Academy. He is always somewhat cold and distant with his classmates, but is kind and affectionate with Yuki. He cares and protects her in every possible way since he saved her, and this has its own romantic meaning (he always tells Zero that he only allows him to live because he is useful to Yuki).
He is somewhat jealous of Zero, because he knows that he is also partial to Yuki. He knows the pureblood vampire who turned Zero, Shizuka Hio, whom he later kills. However, the blame for this crime fell on Zero's shoulders. Only Hanabusa Aido and Zero know the truth about this incident.
Ultimately, Kaname saves Zero from execution for the murder of Shizuka, thereby going against the wishes of the Council of Elders. He does this because Yuki couldn't bear Zero's death. Moreover, he gives Zero his blood, which will certainly be able to stop his fall to level E, so that Zero will continue to remain a “shield” for Yuki.
After Rido infiltrates the Academy, he is forced to turn Yuki into a vampire, or rather awaken the vampire half in her. Rido is his Master, so he cannot kill him. Despite his very tense relationship with Zero, he understands that only he can kill Rido.
Rido's attack puts Kaname at war not only with his uncle and his army, but also with the Council of Elders, and even some of his classmates. At the same time, he is not sure of the feelings of Yuki, who flatly refused to leave the Academy with him, and does not even trust his few allies. And yet, after a sharp confrontation with his sister-lover, which, however, ended in reconciliation, he goes “to do only what he alone can do.” Unable to intervene in the fight with Rido, Kaname sends the Night Class to protect the Day Class, and he single-handedly destroys the entire Council of Elders. Manages to return to the Academy just in the midst of the dramatic confrontation between Zero and Yuki. Kaname's nobility and good intentions have been greatly questioned in recent chapters. It looks like Shizuka's prediction that there is only darkness ahead is starting to come true. Goes with Yuki to the castle estate where they grew up.

Takuma Ichijou (一条拓麻 Ichijou: Takuma?) is the vice president of the Night Class, a vampire aristocrat, almost as strong as Kaname. 18 years. Considers himself Kaname's friend. After the death of his parents, Kaname lived in his house for some time. He seems very kind and, unlike other vampires, he does not have a dark atmosphere surrounding him, so he seems more human. Most of all he likes to read manga. He also knows that Kaname saved Yuki when she was a child. She treats Yuki well, although sometimes she wonders why Kaname is ready to do anything for her. His grandfather is the Head of the Council of Elders, a very old and powerful vampire. He does not want to go over to the side of the Council, but is unable to resist his grandfather. Stands in Kaname's way to prevent him from harming Senri's body, which is possessed by Rido. At the time of Rido's attack on the Academy, it is impossible to say with absolute certainty which side Takuma is on, but his attitude towards people always seemed friendly, and he enjoyed studying at the Academy.
The main weapon is a samurai sword. Subsequently, he decides to go over to Kaname’s side, kills his grandfather, but he himself disappears without a trace. His sword would later be found by Senri and Rima.
Anime voice actor: Susumu Chiba

Luka Soen (早園瑠佳 Soen Ruka?) is a vampire aristocrat, heiress of the Soen family. 17 years. It is especially popular among Day Class students. She is one of Kaname's most loyal defenders. Loves him to the point of fanaticism. Since vampires believe that if one vampire drinks the blood of another, they will fall in love with each other, Luka often offers his blood to Kaname. But even after this, Kaname remained indifferent to her.
He treats people arrogantly, does not believe in the possibility of peaceful coexistence of races, cannot stand Yuki and Zero, and is the object of special admiration for the head of the Day Class where Yuki studies (and repeatedly rejects him). However, after Rido's attack on the Academy, he tells Kain that he "will protect the girls from the Day Class who admire Kaname so much to the very end" because he "can understand their feelings." Having learned that Yuki is Kaname's pureblood sister, and they are connected by bonds much deeper than childhood friendship and affection, Luka apologizes to him for his feelings. Kaname says he "trusts her."
She also has the magical powers of vampires, in her case it is a death glare.
After Kaname lets them go, he decides to follow him.
Voice actor in the anime: Minagawa Junko

Hanabusa "Idol" Aido (Japanese 藍堂英 Aido: Hanabusa?) is a vampire aristocrat. Has the ability to control ice. Genius and prodigy. 17 years. Aido appears cheerful and friendly, but can instantly change and become cold and vindictive. The girls from the Day Class gave him the nickname "Idol" (similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the English "Idol"). Along with his cousin Akatsuki Kain, he is known as " right hand Kaname-sama." He respects and loves Kaname very much. Like Yuki, he decided that he would remain faithful to him, “even if he was betrayed.”
As children, he and Kaname didn’t get along very well, but after meeting at the funeral of Kaname’s parents, Aido decided to become his most loyal protector.
He has the ability to control ice.
He and Yuki have a rather funny relationship: from small dirty tricks to easy friendship. In general, he seems to be the most socially adapted vampire of all: he enjoys the attention of the Day Class girls, comes up with all sorts of stupid jokes (for which Kaname often gets beaten), and sometimes even communicates in a friendly manner with Zero. Becomes one of Yuki's bodyguards.
Rido is the first to attack when he attacks the Academy.
Anime voice actor: Jun Fukuyama

Akatsuki Kain (Japanese: 架院暁 Kain Akatsuki?) - Aidou's cousin, a vampire aristocrat. 17 years. Has the ability to control fire. He attaches little importance to anything and does not know how to stop jokes that have gone too far in time, so he and Aido often get into trouble. The girls of the Day Class awarded him a “stupid” nickname - “Wild” (from the English wild), although he is much more phlegmatic than Aido.
He has a habit of blaming others for all his troubles, especially Aido, so as not to be involved in a showdown, but as a result he always receives punishment. He is incredibly perceptive and considerate of the feelings of others, especially Aido and Luka, for whom he harbors very romantic feelings.
Enters battle against Rido's army and the Council to protect the Academy.
Anime voice actor: Junichi Suwabe

She works as a model with Rima Toya. He has very tender feelings for Rima. Very attached to Takuma. His father is a pureblood vampire (Rido Kuran) and his mother's uncle is a member of the Council.
Rido Kuran possesses him to get into the Academy. Having come to his senses and realizing that he almost killed Rima, he seems ready to tear apart his father and all his henchmen with his bare hands.
Senri's weapon is his blood. Biting the skin of his finger and releasing a little blood, he uses it like a whip.
Anime voice actor: Soichiro Hoshi
