Yohmei Asakura
Seiyu; Takeshi Aono
Yohmei is Yoh's grandfather and an onmyōji who utilizes leaf shikigami. He is the husband of Kino Asakura, Anna's teacher.
Kino Asakura
Seiyu; Hisako Kyouda
Kino AsakuraA master itako who trains young girls in the art at Osorezan. She was born on March 24, 1924. She is short-tempered and practical like her apprentice, Anna Kyōyama. Kino is Yoh Asakura's grandmother. While most itako are partially blind from an early age, Kino was not born blind at all. She lost her vision during World War II and became completely blind. With very few options left, she chose to become an itako. As the level of her spiritual ability rose, she caught the eye of the Asakura family and was later asked to marry Yohmei Asakura, Yoh's grandfather. Instead of living at the Asakura family home in Izumo, she chooses to live in Shimokita, in the Aomori prefecture, near Osorezan. She runs what is ostensibly a traditional Japanese inn, the "Yasui Ryokan". In reality however, she uses the inn to house her apprentices. When Anna was abandoned as a child, Kino sensed the amount of spiritual power Anna possessed and took her in. Training her as an itako, Kino was impressed by Anna's potential and suggested that she should marry Yoh.
Keiko Asakura
Seiyu; Mika Doi
Mikihisa's wife and Yoh's mother. She normally works as an Office Lady, but also works as a miko (translated by some as a cleric) at a local shrine. It is unknown as to the extent of her spiritual powers, but she is capable hearing the voices of kami spirits. She is the daughter of Yohmei and Kino (Mikihisa was adopted into the Asakura family when he married Keiko). She shares the same given name (at least when romanized in English) as Manta's mother, Keiko Oyamada.
Yohken Asakura
(麻倉葉賢 Asakura Yōken)
One of Yoh Asakura's ancestors who lived around 500 years ago. Following his duty as a member of the Asakura family, Yohken entered the Shaman Fight of 500 years ago to defeat Hao Asakura, which he did, with the help of Matamune, Hao's former companion. Appears only in the manga. One of his techniques is OverSoul]Onigoroshi' (Demon Killer) - Yohken used this with Matamune, using his Shakujou as his medium. In the manga, it was the same OverSoul that Yoh used when he saved Anna from the Oni, although Yohken uses his Shakujou (ring-topped Buddhist priests' staff) as the medium
