- Enmu Tamio: A perverted railroad geek. The trains are often delayed, because of him. He often does perverted things when he finds trains. He is already convicted six times before. He doesn't reflect on bothering others, so the other railroad fans hate him. Actually, everyone hates him now. He has no girlfriend. He holding a stolen camera.
- Shinjuro Rengoku: Kimetsu Town Sword Dojo teacher, husband of Ruka and father of Kyojuro and Senjuro. He's been getting disheartened as of late, because he's been losing pupils. He mutters "Pout".
- Senjuro Rengoku: A first year middle school. He is averaging in everything and loves to read.
- Ruka Rengoku: Calligraphy teacher, wife of Shinjuro and mother of Kyojuro and Senjuro. She has a weak expression, so everyone's been worried about her recently.

There's nothing we can do."

While Okami says "Be quiet. Hold on a bit!! You finish your work so quickly. What a diligent girl!!", "Oh... So next, umm...", and "Umm..."
- Koinatsu is sweet and she spoils everyone. She is so sweet that the Okami gets mad at her. As both kamuros is begging Koinatsu for her attention, kamuro on the left says "Oiran, put my hairpin on!" and kamuro on the right says "Oiran, Oiran, let's play!"
