A sixteen-year-old high school girl with supernatural powers. In the anime, she assumed the role of mayor of the city as a child after her grandmother was "tuned" by Akina's grandfather; in the manga, however, her grandmother simply passed away. She treasures her long scarf, which was made by Akina. The scarf was made to cover the scar on her neck, which Yae Shinatsuhiko created to seal most of Hime's youkai power. In the manga, all the townspeople, including her friends, had their memories of Hime being a youkai sealed because, as a child, she asked Yae to seal those memories so she could gain a better perspective from both a human's and a youkai's point of view. However, in chapter thirteen, everyone's memory of her being a youkai returned when a group running against Hime's little cousin, Kohime, for mayor in another town, threatened to drop out of the election and force Hime to give her position to their leader. They used a barrier that weakens all youkai to a life-threatening point, leaving Yae with no choice but to weaken the barrier they had created, which in turn restored everyone's memory. Hime happens to be a glutton and loves to eat noodles, especially those cooked by Akina. She is also quite sensitive about her weight. She trains using the teachings her grandmother taught her and patrols the town every day. She uses her grandmother's teachings in the hopes that she will become a great mayor like her grandmother once was. She may appear harsh at times, but she has a kind heart. In the manga, she uses a lacrosse racket as her weapon, while in the anime, she uses a contractible spear. She has a deep friendship with Akina and Gin.
