with, which can vary from friendship to familial or romantic feelings. These partners are all teenagers (who in the anime attend Kissho Gakuen, a middle school in Tokyo) and have their own web of correlations. Hinata Family Fuyuki Hinata Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami (Japanese, first voice), Houko Kuwashima (Japanese, second voice); Leah Clark (English, Funimation dub), Candice Moore (English, Animax Asia dub) 12-year-old Fuyuki is intelligent on the surface, but is an oddity even within that scope, as his main interest is in the 'occult' — a term that comprises everything from the best-known international mysteries (Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, ghosts, UFOs, etc.) to the obscure, like the Seven School Mysteries (a grab-all term for haunted schoolhouses). A dedicated explorer and adventurer, Fuyuki sadly lacks the athletic skills required for most of the hardships he endures in his daily life.

Fuyuki is delighted by all the wonders he gets to see with the Keronians and jumps feet first in many of their plans. Though they maintain a strong bond with each other, there have been multiple instances
