Lead characters
1. Hanako
The Japanese character was spoken by Megumi Ogata, while Justin Briner spoke the English character.
He is the strongest and the leader of the Seven Wonders and fights with a kitchen knife and two haku-joudai.
haku-joudai are the spirit orbs that help him monitor others and Hanako summons a cloak that grants immunity to exorcism lightning.

History: Popularly known as Hanako, he was called Yugi Amane when he was human. Hanako is a ghost who lives in the old Kamome Academy building.
Personality: He has a positive attitude and is very friendly. He loves to go out and have fun. Hanako is very cheeky as a ghost. He is often seen playing pranks and teasing people.
2. Nene Yashiro
Yashiro Nene is a first-year high school student at Kamome Gakuen’s High School Division.
Yashiro, without a doubt, is the cutest of all Toilet Bound Hanako-kun characters.
History: Yashiro swallows a mermaid’s scale. This foists the Mermaid’s curse on her, turning her into a fish. Hanako swallows a scale from the same mermaid to spread the impact of the curse and let Yashiro live as a human child.
She can remain a human child unless she is immersed in water. Because of the curse, their souls are connected, and hence Yashiro becomes Hanako’s assistant.
Duty: Yashiro assists Hanako in maintaining the balance between humans and supernatural beings. She also controls the spread of new rumours in the school of the supernatural.
Personality: Yashiro is a very positive, sensitive, and caring girl. Unfortunately, she is deeply insecure and fears that no one will ever love her back. Apparently, Yashiro is also insecure about her large ankles.
Most importantly, she is intuitive and wants to protect Hanako.
3. Kou Minamoto
Kou is a tall teenage boy. He is in his third year at Kamome Academy’s middle school division. Kou belongs to the Minamoto clan, which believes that all supernaturals are inherently evil.
He uses a spear called the Raiteijou. This is a weapon that transforms the wielder’s spiritual power into lightning, which exorcises the supernatural.
Duty: Kou is a seeker of justice. He believes in researching supernaturals before exorcising them. Unlike his brother, Teru, he doesn’t exorcise the supernaturals, believing that they are evil.
History: Kou is the second-oldest son in the Minamoto family. Because they believe that all supernatural beings are evil, this family is well-known for exorcising them.
Personality: Kou is brave and kind. He is cheerful, but sadly, he is often misjudged as rude. Kou is known to have a strong sense of justice. He is loyal to his friends and helps them in every possible way.
4. Sōsuke Mitsuba
Interestingly, Mitsuba and Kou were classmates in their first year at the middle school. Mitsuba was tragically killed in a car accident and became a ghost.
Furthermore, Mitsuba haunts the middle school lockers, calling out to students hoping that someone remembers him.
Surprisingly, Mitsuba is mostly seen wearing pink outfits. Consequently, his classmates keep commenting on his girly looks.
History: Eventually, he changed his personality from being cocky to being passive and caring. Soon after his label as a boring background character, he reverted to his old personality.
In his wish to Tsukasa, Mitsuba wants everyone to notice him. Mistakenly, Tsukasa thinks Mitsuba wants to be with his friends, so he turns him into a violent supernatural against his will.
Subsequently, Tsukasa forces Mitsuba to kill Kou so he can be with his friend forever, but Hanako saves Kou and destroys Mitsuba.
Tsukasa recreates Mitsuba and forces him to eat No. 3’s heart to become the Third Mystery. The new Mitsuba has no memories but dreams of the old self and wants to become a real human.
Personality: Mitsuba is very fond of photography. He was a school photography club member and won several awards.
Although Mitsuba is often seen as rude and calling others hurtful nicknames, underneath, he is considerate, kind, and caring. He impatiently awaits being dejected by someone.
The Seven Wonders
The seven wonders of Kamome Academy are the most famous supernaturals to maintain students’ safety from evil supernaturals.
No. 1 – The Three Clock Keepers
They guard the clock tower of Kamome Academy and control time. The three representatives are Kako, Akane Aoi and Mirai.
- Kako controls the past and can rewind it
- Akane Aoi is a human and controls the present. He can stop time for five minutes daily.
- Mirai controls the future and can fast-forward time for someone by touching them
No. 2 – The Misaki Stairs
Positioned in front of the art room, the staircase is rumoured to transport anyone to the spirit world.
Factually, anyone who steps on the fourth step is transported to the spirit world by Misaki. Their blood is splattered on the staircase the following day.
No. 3 – The Hell of Mirrors
It is a boundary that was controlled by a bird-like supernatural. These mirrors reveal your deepest fears and insecurities.
Tsukasa killed the previous No. 3 and his heart is given to Mitsuba, the present No. 3.
No. 4 – Shijima-san of the Art Room
Shijima Mei was a third-year student who allegedly committed suicide because her parents didn’t approve of her art career. Contrarily, Mei was ill and died because of her illness before she could graduate.
Unknowingly, Mei creates Shijima, the supernatural being who protects her. Following her death, all of her artwork was displayed in the art room, sparking false rumours.
She has the power to paint and create fictional worlds where people can live according to their wishes.
No. 5 – The 4 O’clock Library
It is a mysterious room filled with books about everyone’s past, present, and future. The door to this library is only accessible at 4 p.m.
Interestingly, these books come in three colours:
- White books that record the living
- Black books that record the dead
- Red books are forbidden to read because they contain the future.
No. 6 – The Reaper
It is believed that, on the night of tsukimi, the Reaper steals the lives of those who fall asleep while waiting to view the moon. They are often heard playing a melody on the flute.
Consequently, people weave baskets all night to stay awake and protect those who hear the melody.
The current No. 6 is Shinigami-sama, the God of Death.
No. 7 – Hanako-san of the Toilet
The Seventh of the seven wonders is Hanako. He has the power to grant wishes to the living. But, in return, he takes something dear to them.

Apart from the seven mysteries, there are other less powerful supernaturals that also have room in the school.

He is known to switch between personalities; from calm to disturbing.
