Plot

Kanokon's story revolves around Kouta Oyamada, an extremely innocent young first-year high school student who moves from the country to the city and thus transfers to Kunpō High School. On his first day at his new school, he meets a beautiful second-year female student named Chizuru Minamoto. Chizuru asks him to meet her alone in the music room. When he arrives, she tells him that she is in love with him and accidentally reveals to him that she is in fact a fox spirit. Chizuru constantly and openly flirts with Kouta, even in front of others, which embarrasses him greatly. Soon after the story begins, a wolf spirit named Nozomu Ezomori transfers into Kouta's school and class. From day one, she is all over Kouta, which serves to embarrass him more and cause Chizuru to become annoyed at her new competition for Kouta's affection.

Characters

Main characters

Kouta Oyamada (小山田 耕太, Oyamada Kōta)

Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (Japanese), Mona Marshall (English)

Kouta is the protagonist of the story. He moves from the country to the city in his first year of high school, and on his first day of school, he discovers that the second-year girl Chizuru Minamoto is actually a kitsune. He used to live with his grandfather before moving. Kouta generally has a mild personality and is indecisive. When he was younger, he almost drowned in a river and now has a fear of swimming. At his school, everyone either calls him the "Great Erotic King" (エロス大王, Erosu DaiŌ, "King of Eros" in the English anime) or a "beast" because of the disgraceful acts Chizuru commits with him in public.

Despite his reluctance to engage in the "intimate" acts that Chizuru desires, Kouta's feelings for her are genuine. One demonstration of this is that they are able to fuse together into a powerful being, which can only occur between a human and a kitsune when they share a deep emotional link. In this form, Kouta transforms into a black-furred five-tailed fox spirit.

In the manga, the reason due to him transforming is because he himself is transforming into a yōkai like Chizuru, but also due to the fact that Chizuru being the nine-tailed fox which is known to have an unlimited source of power, Kouta gained a new power when the tails are on fire. It is said to be from the Eight Dragons, and a portion of it has now been passed onto Kouta while the rest resides in Chizuru.

Chizuru Minamoto (源 千鶴, Minamoto Chizuru)

Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese), Dorothy Elias-Fahn (English)

Chizuru is a carefree second-year female student at Kouta's school. She appears to be a normal, albeit big-breasted, teenage girl, but she is in fact a 400-year-old powerful kitsune. When she changes form, her hair goes from black to blond and she gains fox ears and a tail. She is constantly hanging around and on Kouta, as he is the only male she acts genuinely towards. She loves Kouta very much and wants to enter a "relationship of sin" with him. She is a very straightforward person and makes almost constant sexual suggestions and actions toward Kouta. She is also a terrible cook, though she improves later on, and shows some interest in masochism.

In the manga, her love for Kouta is undeniable and always considers ways of getting intimate with him. Recently, Chizuru has realized that Kouta is turning into a yōkai like herself, and that he has gained a portion of the Eight Dragons power which resides in her. She has no recollection of her past until she met her foster mother Tamamo, the nine-tailed fox. All that is certain is she can hone her powers as long as she is beside Kouta.

Nozomu Ezomori (犹守 望, Ezomori Nozomu)

Voiced by: Miyū Takeuchi (Japanese), May Kao (English)

Nozomu is a first-year female student at Kouta's school who first appears in the third volume of the novels. She has short silver hair, and is in fact a 200-year-old wolf spirit. She has an older brother named Saku. Despite her seemingly detached and emotionless manner, she is in love with Kouta and thus a rival of Chizuru's for Kouta's affections. She sometimes insults Chizuru by calling her a "Horny Beast," saying that Chizuru "smells obscene" and that her breasts are flabby. While she has small breasts and a much more childlike appearance than Chizuru, Nozomu also frequently tries to initiate sexual acts with Kouta. She lives by herself in an expensive but empty penthouse apartment, where she always sleeps naked on the floor. Though Kouta cares deeply for Chizuru, sometimes he prefers Nozomu's company as she is not as eager to have sex with him as Chizuru.

Kunpo High School students

Tayura Minamoto (源 たゆら, Minamoto Tayura)

Voiced by: Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Japanese), Ethan Murray (English)

Tayura is the younger brother of Chizuru and Kouta's classmate. When they first meet, Tayura is jealous of the relationship between his sister and Kouta. Chizuru says that he is suffering from a sister complex. Tayura looks much older than many boys his age. He enjoys teasing his older sister and Kouta by calling them "love birds". Like his sister, he too is a fox spirit, much younger, and is not really related to Chizuru, but rather adopted. He generally has a calm and cool personality. He likes Akane but whenever he tries to get closer to her, he is given the cold shoulder, though he himself has stated that it is okay with her being cold.

Akane Asahina (朝比奈 あかね, Asahina Akane)

Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō (Japanese), Camilla Debry (English)

Akane is the bespectacled class representative of Kouta's class. Due to her position, she has a high sense of regulations, and therefore disagrees with Kouta's and Chizuru's close high school relationship. She is on good terms with Kouta, and worries about his relationship with Chizuru. She warns Kouta to watch out for Chizuru, though she might be jealous of Chizuru's body. Also, she is known to be intolerant of alcohol, as seen in episode six in the anime where Kouta gives her and Chizuru sweet wine. At first very cold to Tayura, she warms up to him after he riskes his life to save her in the ocean, though she still slugs him when he tries to be more intimate with her.

Yuuki Sasamori (佐々森 ユウキ, Sasamori Yūki)

Voiced by: Saori Seto (Japanese), Lara Cody (English)

Kiriko Takana (高菜 キリコ, Takana Kiriko)

Voiced by: Mai Kadowaki (Ren) and Tamaki Nakanishi (Ai)

Ren and Ai are twin first-year sisters at Kouta's school, and first appeared in the fifth volume of the novels. They are spirit hunters who live at a very poor temple, and are frequently seen doing things that homeless people would do, for example, making stew out of trash and roadside weeds, or eating thrown-away bread crusts. Originally, they were given the task to assassinate Chizuru, but did not go through with it since she was still "only a kid," and the fact that she treated them to a free meal, which is considered as heaven to the twins. They are nearly identical except for their slightly different hair styles. They use chains when attacking, and are also seen in the anime ineffectively using explosives. They later warm up to Chizuru and starts referring to her as "Mama" and as a result, Kouta as "Papa".

Omi Kiriyama (桐山 臣, Kiriyama Omi)

Voiced by: Takashi Kondō (Japanese), Bryce Papenbrook (English)

Omi is a second year student at Kouta's school who is in fact a sickle weasel with the power to control the wind. Omi was once the bitter enemy of the Minamoto siblings. In the fourth volume of the novels, he succeeds as the gang leader of the delinquents at his school. He hates the friendship between Kouta and his friends, and does not speak much. In the anime, he accidentally hurts Kouta who took a blow for Chizuru. Since he is not permitted to harm humans, such an act has serious consequences for him. He likes Mio.

Mio Osakabe (長ヶ部 澪, Osakabe Mio)

Voiced by: Yui Itsuki (drama CD), Miyu Matsuki (Japanese), Elivia Gaitan (English)

Mio is a second year student with a shy nature who hangs around with Omi. Due to her short stature, she is often mistaken for a grade school student and has even received multiple confessions from grade school students. She is in fact a half frog spirit and can heal quickly. While she did not have a name originally, Omi named her from a combination of his own given name and his home town's name. She likes Omi but becomes incredibly embarrassed when anyone refers to her relationship with him.

Ryuusei Kumada (熊田 流星, Kumada Ryūsei)

Voiced by: Kenji Nomura (drama CD), Kenta Miyake (Japanese), Andres Alexis (English)

Ryusei is a third-year student who has a distinct cross-wound over his left eye and was a gang leader of the delinquents at school before Omi took over in his place. He is, in fact, a bear spirit. In the fourth volume, he graduated from high school, but soon changes his name to Suisei Kumada (熊田 彗星, Kumada Suisei) and restarts high school as a first-year student.

Miya Mitama (三珠 未弥, Mitama Miya)

Iku Sahara (砂原 幾, Sahara Iku)

Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya (Japanese), Karen Strassman (English)

Iku is a social studies teacher and is Kouta's homeroom teacher. She is prone to making silly mistakes and is very childish. She is in fact possessed by a yōkai and thus has dissociative identity disorder as an effect. She has to conceal her true identity to Chizuru, and oversees the spirits at school.

Takao Yatsuka (八束 たかお, Yatsuka Takao)

Voiced by: Takashi Matsuyama (Japanese), Dan Woren (English)

She gets along with Kouta, though does sometimes meddle in his relationship with Chizuru. In the manga, it is revealed that she fell in love with Yasunari Abe, the hero from the children's book "That Legend of the Nine-tailed Fox" that 'defeated' her by revealing her true nature and making her his bride.
