A wild-speed lady with streaks of white hair. Terrified of ghosts. Even though she doesn't have a specific trauma, she gets incredibly scared and starts panicking whenever ghosts are involved. However, if the opponent is human, she believes she can't lose and becomes instantly aggressive no matter who they are. She used to be terrified of Oshiruko, but grew used to him over time and is slowly starting to overcome her fear of ghosts. Runner-up in the Karate Inter-High school championships. Former member of the Ground Self-Defense Force. She's getting up there in years but still trains, and is strong enough to beat enemies to a pulp. Left the GSDF upon marriage.

Loves yakiniku. First person: I (Watashi / Atashi) Second person: You (Anta / Kimi / Anata) "I'm Atsuko Asari. Just Atsuko is fine. So? What do you want with me? ...Ugh, is this anomaly-related? I'm really not good with that stuff... Well, I'll do my best." "Ah—! No, no, no! I told you I can't do ghosts! ...Huh? A person? ...Oh, then I can win. I'll beat 'em to a pulp."

Atsuko's partner. A mysterious anomaly that took up residence in a discarded "Warm Oshiruko!!" sweet bean soup can. He is possessed by the spirit of a young samurai boy who died long ago. He possesses nearly invincible supernatural powers, using mysterious energy to lift objects, crush things, or absorb other anomalies. He speaks in a soft, airy way to soothe Atsuko or occasionally tease her. However, when faced with an enemy, he remembers his days as a samurai and adopts an intimidating tone. First person: I (Boku, soft/polite) Second person: You (Anata, polite) "Atsuko~. Let's go get yakiniku~. Kalbi, kalbi~." "Oh my~. I found someone troubled by an anomaly! Let's help them out."
