Kyouyama, Anna

恐山 アンナ

In Shaman King, Anna is the fiancée of Yoh Asakura and serves as an itako, a traditional Japanese shaman. Her specialty is channeling, allowing her to summon spirits from anywhere, including heaven, a realm inaccessible to normal shamans. In the English anime, she is referred to as a "spirit medium."
After her birth parents abandoned her due to her abilities, Anna was adopted by Kino Asakura. Consequently, her date of birth and blood type remain unknown.
Aggressive and decisive, yet beautiful and shrewd, Anna is a pragmatic individual who appears cold and harsh. However, she has demonstrated genuine care for those important to her, particularly Yoh. She is dedicated to becoming "the ultimate Shaman Queen" and wife to Yoh, the first true friend she ever had. She firmly believes that Yoh Asakura is destined to become the Shaman King and considers it her duty as his fiancée to ensure he trains hard for this role.
Anna's spiritual strength is evident in her ability to seal and control Hao Asakura's guardian spirits, Zenki and Kouki (known as shikigami). Anna and Hao seem to share an odd relationship; Anna detests Hao and once slapped him. Surprisingly, he was not angry but seemed amused. It has also been hinted that Anna is the reincarnation of Asano-Ha, the mother of the original Asakura Hao from 1000 years ago. Others believe that Hao possibly harbored feelings for Anna and wanted her for himself; this has not been proven false, as he stated in the manga that he was serious about taking her as his bride.
It is obvious that Anna loves Yoh, despite how badly she seems to treat him. She confessed this when Yoh fought the oh-oni to save her, once to his friend Manta Oyamada, and again to Silva, a commissioner for the Shaman Fight. Anna broke down crying when she thought Yoh was about to be killed while possessed by Tokagero. She can be extremely possessive of Yoh, beating him up once when she mistook the Oracle Bell he brought home for a woman's pager. She also reacted jealously when Yoh asked Tamao Tamamura to cook him a meal in the anime. Once, when Yoh was thought to be dead after Hao stole his soul, Anna was in hysterics and only recovered her strength when Yoh returned. Anna attends Shinra Private Academy along with Yoh and Manta. Her favorite singer in the manga, Ringo Awaya, is a reference to the Japanese singer and guitarist Shiina Ringo. Anna is also the mascot of the Aomori prefectural police. Takei, Anna's creator, was born in Aomori, and in Shaman King, Anna is also born in Aomori.
