Inutobi-zu is an inugami who usually patrols the halls of Kamejo Castle. He was personally employed by Jigoko Kamejo, and has since grown to become an accomplice of Sora Kumoriko's.
He takes on the appearance of a red-eyed, semi-built man around 6'2", with reddish-orange hair and pointed dog ears poking out, with a fluffy tail usually swaying behind him. He dresses in a stylized type of hanfu called lanshan, with the main colors being red and white with square motifs.
Lanshan is a Chinese outfit, so it's possible that he's Chinese. If his title is read as such, it's "Quânfēibizu", which has a very similar meaning to his title as read the way it was intended. Ironically, if read the intended way as "Inutobizu", his title means "dog does not fly". Oddly, "Inutobi-zu" isn't his actual name, and is more akin to an epithet.
Inutobi-zu is generally a stoic person. His abilities include flying, shapeshifting, and superhuman strength. He usually battles with a large sword dubbed "Būnbūn", said to have divine power.

Toriban-zu is a crow youkai who usually patrols the halls of Kamejo Castle.
She takes on the appearance of an averagely-built girl or woman around 5'9, with golden-yellow hair and wings protruding from her back and red eyes. She dresses in an outfit that is highly similar to that of a traditional ninja, however it is dark purple with highlights including red, light orange, and light blue. On the right side of her chest is an image of a double cherry with a light blue stem.
Despite being a crow, she's golden like the Jinwu, so it's possible she's also Chinese. If her title is read as such, it's "Niâobànzu", which has the same meaning as read the way it was intended. If read the intended way as "Toribanzu", her title means "crow half". Like Inutobi-zu, "Toriban-zu" isn't her actual name, and is merely an epithet.
Toriban-zu is a playful character and is typically seen accompanied by a nameless red chōchin-obake. Her abilities include teleportation, shapeshifting, duplicating herself, and "floating on the eastern wind" which is essentially turning invisible for a brief period of time. She usually battles with a series of infinite shuriken forged of danmaku.
