Youko

Youko is a female kitsune youkai whom Kantarou Ichinomiya named. At the beginning of Tactics, Youko had already been living with Kantarou. She is loud and impulsive who often loses her temper towards Kantaoru because he rarely does his work, and when he does, he doesn't do it very well. Youko is also shown to be deeply concerned about the household expenses and pesters Kantarou about finishing his book manuscripts. However, even though she claims Kantarou is materialistic, she is as well. She likes lots of food, and enjoys the hot springs. She enjoys having money to spend, which is why she is always angry at Kantarou. Deep down, she really does care about her master's well-being. She just really cares about having something other than fish and rice to eat as well. Youko has the ability to make her fox ears appear and disappear at will, and can turn into her fox form if she wishes. Before joining Kantarou, Youko was initially a lonely youkai who deceived travelers into thinking she was a member of their family. Youko pretends to be Kantarou's wife, but Kantarou soon reveals her to be a youkai and invites her to join his household
