Masahiro Abe
A Onmyouji in training. After he met Mokkun (Touda/Guren), he decided to follow his family's foot step and started solving various mysteries occurring around him. He is friendly and kind to both youkai and people, although he is sometimes cocky and clumsy, but according to Seimei, he is the only one who can succeed him. He hates to be called "Seimei's grandson" and trains hard to surpass his grandfather.Guren/Touda/Mokkun
Mokkun is the animal (cat/dog like creature) form of Touda named by Masahiro. Guren is the name given by Seimei, but his true name is Touda. He is one of twelve Shikigami serving Seimei. Although he teases Masahiro time to time, he cares a lot about Masahiro and he is willing to protect him with his life. In his past, for some reason he tried to kill Seimei and because of this incident Seimei's Shikigamis (like Seiryuu) doesn't seem to trust him. It is also mentioned that Guren is one of most feared summon Gods, and from this it is said that Masahiro, who doesn't fear Guren, is compatible to be Seimei's successor.
Abe no Seimei/Seimei Abe (young&old)
Greatest Onmyouji in in the history of Japan (He is real life Onmyouji). Grandfather of Masahiro Seimei. He has Twelve shikigami under his command and is able to transfer his soul (which is in his younger form) outside of his old aged body, but this makes his body vulnerable. He teases Masahiro to push him further in his journey (which is kind of like a reverse psychology) and helps him out when he is in trouble. Masahiro calls Seimei "Old raccoon" when he is angry after Seimei's lecture/teasing of Masahiro's performance.
