Anko Uguisu is a private detective in "Call of the Night." She is 28 years old, wears glasses, and gives off a slightly weary vibe. Anko smokes and has a low tolerance for alcohol, often appearing somewhat drained yet sharp. With a difficult past shaped by vampires, she used to be driven by vengeance, hunting them relentlessly. However, after dramatic encounters with Nazuna Nanakusa and Ko Yamori, Anko abandoned her goal of exterminating all vampires. Now, she often partners up with Nazuna and Ko, her bitterness giving way to a more open, if still cautious, perspective.
