Professor Kuwaori

桑折

Kazue Hayami's boss and a good friend of Akira Gotou. Like Kazue, Kuwaori also takes care of Akira, but unlike her, he is mostly interested in studying the Hyouinomi. This causes him to get into trouble when he researches one and it breaks loose from its containment, transforming Kuwaori into a Hyoujiuu. Unlike Kazue, Kuwaori can be rarely seen outside of his lab and only appears in a few anime episodes. Kuwaori used to be assisted by another professor, by the name of Kyoji Gotou, but the latter was Akira's surrogate father that was killed by a group of Hyouijuu, when Karuma ordered them to attack the Gotou Mansion in an attempt to kill Akira.
