PlotFour years ago, Kazuma Kannagi was defeated by his cousin Ayano Kannagi for the right to be the successor of Enraiha, a sword passed down in the Kannagi family. His defeat, along with his lack of talent for En-Jutsu, the fire arts, the Kannagis' specialty, resulted in his banishment from the family. Now, Kazuma returns as Kazuma Yagami, a skilled master of Fū-Jutsu, the wind arts.
CharactersMain characters
Kazuma Yagami
(八神 和麻, Yagami Kazuma?) Voiced by: Daisuke Ono Kazuma is a former member of the Kannagi household. He was banished from the family by his father after being defeated by Ayano during the successor ceremony for Enraiha, his family's sacred sword, due to his inability to use En-Jutsu. Four years later, at the age of twenty-two, he returns to Japan as a skilled master of Fū-Jutsu. As a Fū-Jutsushi, Kazuma's powers are extensive. Apart from being able to fly even while holding three people, Kazuma can launch blasts of wind that act as blades, and manipulate wind spirits to create a barrier, protecting his body from physical harm or reflecting light in order to camouflage himself. He can also retrieve information from a person's mind, though this often results in the person's death. It has also become apparent that he possibly has the ability to manipulate electricity, given that high speed wind friction creates static electricity. Kazuma is also a Contractor, having entered into a contract with the
Kaze no Seirei-Ou, the Wind Spirit Lord. Thanks to that, Kazuma is able to draw upon all wind spirits in the atmosphere, which can amplify his powers, and allow him to heal his wounds. When using that power, his eyes turn azure blue. However, this ability puts a strain on his body. Also, when Kazuma is extremely angered, his eyes turn crimson red and his wind turns black. In this state, he has no qualms in hurting others with his abilities, as long as he gets what he wants. However, when in this state, his overall powers seem to be weaker than when he is in his regular state; when Ayano helps him snap out of his rage, he states that his black wind is pathetic. It is later revealed that after Kazuma was banished from his family, his only desire became achieving great power. He traveled to a small town in China, where he caused all kinds of trouble. That is until he met Tsui-Ling, whom he fell in love with and eventually lived with. Kazuma no longer desired power and along with working part-time at a restaurant with her, he also took up a job as a freelancer, doing simple odd jobs. His happiness, however, came to an abrupt end when an organization used Tsui-Ling as a sacrifice to summon a powerful demon. Blaming himself for failing to protect her, Kazuma once again sought out great power, thus his making a contract with the Wind Spirit Lord. Some time after becoming a Contractor, he killed the one responsible for Tsui-Ling's death. Later, two years prior to the series' beginning, Kazuma made a name for himself as the demon-like wind mage, who did not hesitate to hurt others as long as his task was completed. However, his personality began to turn for the good once again after returning to Japan and meeting Ayano; admitting near the end of the series that he could now love another person besides Tsui-Ling.
Ayano in the anime version
Ayano Kannagi
(神凪 綾乃, Kannagi Ayano?) Voiced by: Ayumi Fujimura Sixteen year old Ayano is a skilled
En-Jutsushi and the successor to the Kannagi family's head. She is arrogant and irrational, usually taking action by herself even while going against orders. Though she seems undisciplined, she is very proud of her heritage. Despite claiming to hate Kazuma, Ayano develops a crush on him, but is often irritated when he makes a move on her and is prone to throwing fits of rage when he gets close to another woman. She later comes to realize that she is actually in love with him. Kazuma is also the only person she sees as stronger in power and presence than even her own father. Ayano's power is the Crimson Flame, although she is not yet able to consciously control it. She also holds Enraiha, the Kannagi's sacred sword, which she won by defeating Kazuma at the successor ceremony four years before the start of the story. The sword has fire properties and can be summoned by Ayano at any time.
Ren in the anime version.
Ren Kannagi
(神凪 煉, Kannagi Ren?) Voiced by: Rika Morinaga Kazuma's younger brother. He looks up to Ayano and practically worships Kazuma, stating that one day he hopes to be as strong as him so he can protect everyone. Ren has the appearance of a bishōnen, which sometimes earns him the contempt of some of his male classmates. Even so, Ren appears to be very popular at his school, excelling in his studies and in his athletic abilities. His biggest admirers include Suzuhara Kannon and Serizawa Tatsuya, who both seem to be extremely fascinated in him. Ren later falls in love with a girl named Ayumi, only to find out that she is just a clone created to be sacrificed at a ritual. Even after saving her from the ritual, she still dies due to having a short life span, but not before she can tell him that she also loves him. Despite Ren's feelings of inadequacy early on in the series, Ayumi's death inspires Ren to become stronger so he can protect the ones he loves. Ren's power is the Golden Flame, said to have the largest purification effect. Genma Kannagi
(神凪 厳馬, Kannagi Genma?) Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama Ren and Kazuma's strict father. Though he is responsible for banishing Kazuma from the Kannagi family, he only wanted his son to find his own path in life. Like Kazuma, Genma has trouble expressing his feelings in front of others; in fact, the both of them are so headstrong that when they meet, they immediately break out into a destructive battle. Genma is the strongest En-Jutsushi of the Kannagi's, and wields the blue God Flame,
Shinen, which only eleven others have wielded since the founding of the clan. Jūgo Kannagi
(神凪 重悟, Kannagi Jūgo?) Voiced by: Masaki Terasoma Ayano's father and Genma's cousin. He is the current head of the Kannagi family. Jūgo worries about his headstrong daughter. Contrary to the Kannagi doctrine that is based solely on strength, Jūgo has been trying to stop discrimination against the Fūga Clan. He also regrets not being able to stop Kazuma's expulsion from the family. Believing that Kazuma is essential to the Kannagis, he constantly creates situations in which Ayano can form a relationship with Kazuma.

She is later revealed to be an Onmyōji, a practitioner of the Yin Yang arts who can cast spells through chants and charms. Yukari Shinomiya
(篠宮 由香里, Shinomiya Yukari?) Voiced by: Yuka Inokuchi One of Ayano's best friends and classmates. Yukari, along with Nanase, often teases Ayano about her apparent crush on Kazuma.

Although a kind person at heart, having saved Kazuma from bullying ten years ago, Misao blames Kazuma for her brother's death, and becomes a pawn in Michael's plan to take him down. In the end, Kazuma convinces her to atone for her sins by living on, and she is later instructed by Jūgo to retire to a convent. Tsui-Ling
(翠鈴/ツォイリン, Tsoi Rin?) The girl Kazuma could not protect. She was sacrificed by Burnheart Rhodes to summon a demon. Rhodes then used a spell to gather her remaining essence into a being called Lapis.

While seemingly capable of creating different spirit beasts, her favorite is Metatron, an angel-like statue equipped with a sword. Kazuma has observed and mentioned that her fighting style is similar to Ayano's, referring to their simplistic and direct attacks, which lack any strategy or tactics. A rival against Ayano in both En-Jutsushi and Kazuma's "love".

The content below is entirely editable. The young, short heir to the Sanzenin fortune who happens to be in love with her butler and rescuer, Hayate.
Nagi Sanzenin is a very rich girl and heir to the fortune of the Sanzenin family. One night, while walking through the park, she mistook Hayate's words as a confession of love when he really asked to kidnap her. After she briefly got kidnapped for real by the Yakuza, Hayate managed to save her just to spite his parents. Nagi decided to repay the favor by healing his wounds and then hiring him as a butler for the Sanzenin family. She still harbors affections for Hayate, but Hayate either doesn't notice or doesn't care.
Over the course of the series, it's revealed that Nagi considers herself a bit of an otaku and aspiring manga artist. She makes a lot of inside jokes and references to other popular anime and manga throughout the story. However, her lifestyle has also made her a bit of a sheltered shut-in, as she has trouble talking to people outside of her circle of close friends and servants and even knowing what to buy, often relying on Hayate, Maria, or someone else to do it for her. Nagi is also very unathletic, having trouble running more than 50 meters even after Hayate tried to train her for a freestyle marathon.
Nagi seems to have a sort of rivalry with Nishizawa, Hayate's former classmate and another love interest, often condescendingly referring to her as "Hamster" after a Toradora reference where Nagi's aura appeared in the form of a dragon while Nishizawa's aura took on the shape of a Hamster that the dragon ended up trying to eat. However, the two of them seem to grudgingly get along with each other after initial hostilities.
