Reo Kourogi is a girl known for her big twin buns and signature goggles. She is always very polite and ends her sentences with "desu." Reo is a talented inventor and a classmate of Soga Ninokuru, with whom she has been friends since childhood. Although she sometimes gets too excited over strange discoveries, especially anything related to spirits and smells, Reo supports Matsuri Kazamaki as his personal equipment maker and helper. She loves making purification tools and has a big passion for unique scents. At first, she attended an all-girls school, but later transferred to the same school as Matsuri and Soga to help out more. People around her often think of her as quirky but reliable.
Reo Kourogi has long pink hair styled in two big buns, also called twin tails.
She wears special goggles on her head, which she uses for her experiments.
Her overall look is childish and cute, making her stand out in any group.
Reo is very energetic and curious.
She always speaks politely, ending her sentences with "desu," which makes her sound formal and a bit unique.
She loves to experiment and often gets overly excited when she finds something related to spirits or smells, shouting "So exciting!!"
Reo knows she is a bit of a smell-fetishist and isn’t embarrassed about it, unless someone like Matsuri calls her a "weirdo" to her face—then she gets upset.
She’s cheerful, enthusiastic, and sometimes a little too honest about her interests.
Reo comes from the Kourogi family, a long line of craftsmen who make spiritual purification tools (purification ninja tools).
Her family’s toy shop, "Kourogi Toys," is just a cover—there’s a laboratory and training room for spirit research in the basement, which is their real business.
Her father, Shishimaru Kourogi, is her mentor.
Her grandmother is the principal of North Aya High School, but she cannot see spirits herself.
The family has strong ties to the Kazamaki and Ninokuru families.
Reo is not the strongest spirit-fighting ninja, but she makes up for it with her creative purification ninja tools and quick thinking in tough situations.
She is very skilled at inventing new tools, especially her favorite creation, the "Fuma Shuriken," a large throwing star.
Reo is also great at using incense burners for purification, and her strong sense of smell helps her in battles and research.
- Matsuri Kazamaki: She is his official equipment maker and supports him with new inventions. Matsuri recognizes her abilities and trusts her work.
- Soga Ninokuru: Childhood friend and classmate, though Soga has trouble around girls because Reo often used him as a test subject for her inventions.
- Suzu Kanade: Matsuri’s childhood friend and rival in a way. Suzu didn’t know Reo existed until they met and immediately decided Reo was someone to watch out for.
- Shishimaru Kourogi: Her father and mentor in making purification tools.
- Grandmother: The principal of North Aya High School, who helped Reo transfer schools to be closer to Matsuri and Soga.
- Reo is a huge smell-fanatic, which surprises and sometimes worries her friends.
- Her catchphrase is "So exciting!!" when she encounters something interesting about spirits.
- While she cares a lot for Matsuri, their relationship is mostly craftsman and client, not romantic.
So exciting!!

But when Matsuri needed her help, her grandmother (the school principal) arranged for her to transfer to North Aya High School.
She joined Soga’s class and became classmates again.
Quirky Interests

Even though Shirogane and others sometimes call her a pervert for this, she proudly admits it.

But with her inventions, quick mind, and brave support for her friends, she proves to be an important member of the team.
