Ichijou, Takuma

The vice-president of the Night Class, he is an upper-class vampire nearly as powerful as Kaname, whom he is close to and respects. He seems kind and lacks the dark atmosphere that surrounds most vampires, making him appear more like a human. His favourite reading material is manga; in one chapter, it seems he forced Hanabusa into reading a vampire manga series. Ichijou appears to be aware that Kaname rescued Yuuki when she was a child and has asked Yuuki why her current relationship with Kaname no longer is the same as the one they had when she was a child. Takuma's grandfather, who is a member of the council and very powerful, educated him and has high expectations of him.
