Story

The protagonist is Tamaki Kasuga, a teenage girl who revisits the small village from her childhood and gets caught up in her family's history and the supernatural dangers surrounding it. While walking along the hillsides on her way to the village, Tamaki comes across a small white round object with sticks for limbs that can speak! It runs off startled, but Tamaki chases after it. Soon she finds herself in a place that feels like another world. She gets attacked by three slime creatures, but a young man named Takuma Onizaki comes out and saves her. Afterwards, he walks her to the village, where she meets with her grandmother and is told that she must continue the role of ancestor princess Tamayori Princess with help from the sword of Onikirimaru and her five guardians.

Characters

  • Tamaki Kasuga - Tamaki is the main protagonist of the series. Her name is changeable in the PS2 and DS version. She is the next Tamayorihime (Tamayori Princess) after her grandmother, and for that position she receives five guardians. She gets a headache whenever something happens to the Onikimaru. Her hobby is visiting shrines & temples. She has feelings for Takuma in Season 2 (Dai Ni Shō).

Logos

The Logos are an evil group on the move, trying to resurrect Onikirimaru and possibly destroy the world. They are the antagonists of the story, working against Tamaki and her guardians. All the Logos are aides to Aria, much like the guardians are aides to Tamaki.

  • Aria Rosenburg - A young girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes. The Logos believes that she is the sacred maiden blessed by God. She can neutralise all magical attacks and bless spirits. Aria speaks in an adult-like manner but sometimes acts like a child (though she denies that she is one).
  • Eins (One in German) - Eins is an aide to Aria with super strength who specializes in close range combat. He is very protective of Aria.
  • Zwei (Two in German) - Zwei fights with a scythe and likes to eat his opponents' souls. Mahiro calls him "death-god".
  • Drei (Three in German) - Drei is a magician who can summon dark spirits to fight. He is very interested in research and regards his opponents as potential research subjects. His loyalty to the Logos is unsure and a mystery.
  • Vier (Four in German) - Vier is the only female aide to Aria, the one she trusts the most, and the only one chosen by Aria herself. She is a tactician who reminds Suguru of his mother, and she disguises herself as Fiona-sensei, the english teacher at the Tamaki's school. As the teacher, she has blonde hair and looks like she's from Hollywood and of German origin.
  • Fünf (Five in German) - Fünf is another name for Shinji.

Others

  • Ryou Kutani - Ryou is in the same year as Tamaki and Takuma, but he is actually one year older than them. He is a lone wolf and does as he pleases. He has a penchant for sniffing Tamaki which is due to his powers. It is later revealed that he is actually a member of the Inukai household who would have been the Inukai Guardian if it wasn't for his mother who hid his existance.
  • Mitsuru Kotokura - A girl that works at the shrine. She is very polite and can appear emotionless and doll-like. She is a very good cook and is good at housework. She has the power to create invisible barriers. Tamaki, when caught in her barrier at one point, comments that it feels like mizu-ame (a kind of syrup).
  • O-chan - A fox spirit belonging to Tamaki. In the video game, it can be named by the player. It travels in the main character's shadow and comes out at her calling. It likes curling up and sleeping in warm places.
  • Kiyono Takara - A classmate of Tamaki that befriends her. She makes money from making straw voodoo dolls.
