Kan-u Unchou (關羽雲長): Guan Yu
Voiced by: Hiroe Oka (Season 1), Hitomi Nabatame (Season 2), Erica Shaffer (English)
Manga version
Believed to be the most feared and powerful Toushi around, she even carries the nearly invincible Blue Dragon Crescent Blade from her predecessor as well as the legendary sword Kusanagi; she also has overwhelming chi. She believes her destiny is to die protecting Ryuubi. It is believed by many characters that Ryomou will one day kill her. Presumed to be an old friend of Kakouton and Kakuka and is possibly a lesbian. She is eventually forced to side with Sousou and plan an attack on Nanyo in order to protect Ryubi from Kyosho's toushi, who would certainly be after her. When she surrenders she is at first treated as a prisoner. She is handcuffed, beaten, and stripped of her clothing, but she is able to break free from her handcuffs, clearly holding back while she was captive. She is then treated fairly as an ally by Sousou and the others. However, she is not afraid to attack Sousou when it seems that his guard is down.
Anime version Personality is similar to the manga. In the first series, Kanu only appears in two episodes to fight with Ryomou and Hakufu (including Hakufu's dragon-mode). Kanu's over-confidence led to her arm being broken by Ryomou. She then gets serious and beats off Ryomou using only her legs and still manages to win a second the fight against Hakufu while she was in her dragon state. Kanu was expected to win the toushi tournament before she unexpectedly forfeits after her fight against Hakufu. Animation-wise, this Kanu shows both her eyes, which is a totally different hairstyle/look compared to the manga and second season. The blade part of her weapon was never shown in the first series. The Seito school color also appears to be teal instead of blue. In Ikki Tousen Dragon Destiny, Kanu is similar to the manga version in terms of appearance. Like her predecessor in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, she is one of the pivotal characters in the events of the series, as she lives her destiny as Ryubi's protector and as one of the strongest toushi alive. Being the main character in this sequel, Kanu's invincibility was played down to make her character more believable; she wasn't portrayed as strong as compared to the manga and the first anime series. Kanu is less flirty, less confident, insecure, and her intentions towards Ryuubi are more obvious. She even admits her love for Ryuubi to Koukin. When she sides with Sousou and with Hakufu looking to challenge Sousou to a fight, Kanu accepts the fight on his behalf. She is seen with a new dark, yet still revealing costume, possibly acting as a metaphor for defecting to Kyosho's evil leader. However, Kanu's loyalty to Ryuubi doesn't shake nor does her superiority over other toushi (as Chou-un pointed out and later proven by Kanu herself when she broke free of her handcuffs under her own power, she could have just left Kyosho if she wanted to). She made it clear to Kakouton that she will kill Sousou if he attempts to assault Seito or harm Ryubi in anyway. She was told to leave Kyosho by Kakouton and she returned to her own school. However she takes Chou-un's advice to stay away from Ryubi, allowing Ryubi to blossom as Seito's leader. She returned at the Battle of Chibi to protect Ryubi. At the end of the series Kanu is still with Ryubi, as her guardian and close friend. A joke at the end has Ryubi recommending Kanu to read a book called Ikki Tousen. The book is meant to be Romance Of the Three Kingdoms, which the series is based on.
Ryuubi Gentoku (劉備玄德): Liu Bei
Voiced by: Kei Shindō
Manga version
A clutzy, ditzy bespectacled bookworm with seemingly no combat skills. She can't even swim. She has a fear of homosexuals but sometimes wonders if she is homosexual herself. She is convinced that Kanu and Chouhui are lesbians who are attracted to her. Ryuubi is destined to be a great leader but is presently too timid and carefree to become one. However, she is still more than willing to do her best for her friends. She is best friends with Chouhi and possesses the most destructive dragon seen, which is so evil that it radiates enthropic energy and nearly made her disembowel herself before Ryomou, Chouhi, and Kanu managed to stop her, resulting in all of them being critically wounded. She seems unaware of this and is prone to occasional highly destructive out-bursts when her dragon rouses. These outbursts happen when Ryubi sees her friends get hurt in battle.
Anime version The same except she has no fear of homosexuals. Also the timing of her first dragon possession is different. The first time she is overwhelmed by her dragon in the manga was three years before the start of the manga. In the anime, it happens during the second series. When Kanu was forced to surrender to Sousou, her determintaion to rescue Kanu has her slowly gaining control of her dragon's powers. She realised that her school had to go into battle with Nanyo and Kyosho in order to finally end the conflict. Although she was targeted by many toushi in the battle, she was capable of protecting herself. Kanu's return gave Ryubi more encouragment. She was almost strangled to death by Sousou but was saved by the returning Hakufu. Both Ryubi and Hakufu teamed up to destroy Sousou and win the battle for Seito and Nanyo. She is now back to her normal book-reading self.
(NA Pic) Chouhi Ekitoku (張飛益德): Zhang Fei Voiced by: Minori Chihara Manga version Ryuubi's best friend and an avid snack-lover. Although quite weak and only a C-rank, history states that she will one day become so powerful that legends will tell of her matching ten thousand men, which makes her well-known around town. She has already performed such a feat, although on a much smaller scale, when Kyosho first assaulted Seito to search for Ryubi. Myosai almost killed her in battle and she was luckily saved by Chou-un. She is currently out of action, recovering serious injuries suffered in the fight against Myosai. Ryubi is staying by her side.
Anime version She is more bossy in the anime. She is frustrated that Ryubi is not the powerful toushi she is meant to be as Seito's leader. Despite that, she is still best friends with Ryubi and Kanu. She is strong enough to throw Kanu several stories into the air. At the end of the series she is seen in a restaurant with Kouchu. The two could now be a couple.
Shokatsuryou Koumei (諸葛亮孔明): Zhuge Liang Voiced by: Mai Kadowaki Manga version A young girl who appears to harbor a dragon herself. She is quiet and enigmatic. It has been suggested that she has been manipulating many great events throughout the series despite being very young. This was stated by Saji, who may work for her. She is destined to be Shibai's arch-nemesis.
Anime version The same as in the manga. She is completely loyal to Ryubi to the point that she might have a crush on her. At one point she wanted to be the one who takes a bath with Ryubi. She is set on accomplishing Ryubi's goals no matter what. She is fascinated by the size of Ryubi's breasts. In the first Dragon Destiny OVA, she compares the breasts of Chouhi, Kanu and Ryubi in an open-air bath, much to their discomfort. She picks Ryubi's as her favourites because she thinks they are perky. Among other things, she chose the destination for the Battle of Chibi. At the end of the series she returns to doing her favourite hobby, fishing.
Chou-un Shiryu (趙雲子龍): Zhao Yun Voiced by: Yu Asakawa Manga version A mysterious new girl from Seito High that is presumed be Seito's "secret weapon". Easily a super A-rank, she wields one of the Hyakuhekitou swords with extreme efficiency. In the Ryuubi assassination attempt, she single-handedly defeated Kakouen Myosai, supposedly one of the more powerful A-ranks characters in the series, literally with her eyes closed while defending Ryuubi from henchmen. She presents herself with her eyes closed most of the time and is the only girl in Seito that does not wear the standard Seito High school girl uniform. She believes that violence is unnecessary and that blood-shed can be avoided to solve conflicts. She has deep respect for Kanu while their strengths rival one another.
Anime version Eyes closed, white hair, and carries a Japanese sword. Shiryu is arguably the most skilled toushi in the anime so far. She seems nearly invincible in the manga and in Dragon Destiny. Instead of being sent by Koumei to save Ryuubi from Myosai's assassination attempt, Chou-un was sent by Kanu to defeat Teni and Ryumou's dragon before claiming the Dragon Jade. There is no way to tell her true protential because of her limited fights and her lack of seriousness in them. She has stated that with full stregth, Ryomou with her awakened dragon could defeat her. So far no toushi has given her a real challenge or even put a tear on her uniform. When Kanu returns from Kyosho, Chou-un advises her to stay away from Ryubi for now, to see if Ryubi is capable of leading their school on her own. She then travelled to Chouku's home. She spotted Hakufu's dragon during Hakufu's revival. She was about to attack it but Ukitsu stopped her. Choukou explained to her that the dragon was a part of Hakufu. Chou-un was very effective in the Battle of Chibi. She protected Hakufu and Ryubi from demons that were summoned by Sousou. At the end of the series, she is seen doing a bad attempt at flower arranging.
Kouchu Kanshou (黃忠漢升): Huang Zhong Voiced by: Kenta Miyake Manga version A shaven bald monk that worked alongside Jyosho Genchoku (Zenfuku) at Tougenin. He first appeared to block Chouhi when she and Ryubi went to look for Kanu, who was in turn looking for Koumei. He appears quite embarrassed of girls, given that he blushes a lot when he sees female flesh or belongings such as panties. However he is very strong, being able to fight off Teni with ease by being able to block and break her blades with his bare hands as well as take a shot by Hyakuhekitou to the shoulder and still be able to subdue Ryomou when her dragon was unleashed. It is implied that he will kill Myosai, just like his predecessor did 1,800 years ago.
Anime version Similar to the manga in terms of personality, including outright admitting to Chouhi that fighting cute girls for him is embarrassing. However since he does not fight Teni in the anime, it is unknown how strong he really is. At the end of the series he is seen in a restaurant with Chouhi, who could now be his sweet-heart.
Houtou Shigen (龐統士元): Pang Tong Bashoku Youjou (馬謖幼常): Ma Su Manga version Bashoku Youjou was an assassin sent by Shokatsuryou Koumei to kill Kakuka and frame Kannai of Nanyo for the crime. Although her fighting skills did not match up to Kakuka's, her early preparation of poisoning her blades led to her victory. She only appeared once in the manga to severely injure Kakuka. She reveals that she attacked Kakuka only to gain credibility and to raise her reputation.
Anime version The same as the manga, except that she ends up killing Kakuka instead of leaving him in a coma. It is also revealed that she was ordered to attack Kakuka by Koumei. She later travels to Nanyo to tell Koukin, Saji and the others that Sousou defeated Hakufu and captured Kanu. Saji was able to recognise her as Kakuka's real killer and knows it was she that framed Kannei for the murder. He flirts with her anyway. Her main purpose is to bring in reports on Kyosho and Nanyo to Koumei and to defend Seito with Kouchu should Sousou ever invade the school. At the end of the series she joins Koumei for some fishing.
Shoukan Shiyoku (蔣幹子翼): Jiang Gan Manga version A spy for Seito currently posing as a Kyosho student. She is an expert at using medical needles. She was one of the three girls who seduced Koukin in an attempt for him to defect to Sousou's side. She gave him "extra attention" afterwards to make sure he would not escape. While Koukin was asleep she snuck around the school and discovered Jyunyu with the Hyakuhekitou sword. Jyunyu caught her spying on him and the two fought. Shoukan's clothes were cut to shreds and she escaped naked. She reappeared back in bed with Koukin and gave him a message from Koumei, as well as revealing to him what was going on. She could be developing real feelings for Koukin after she slept with him. It is possible that Shoukan Shiyoku may not be her real name.
