Hokuto Kaneshiro(金城 北都, Kaneshiro Hokuto)The leader of ANTI-THESIS.

Hokuto was originally human, and following years of physical abuse from his father, he accidentally enrolls himself into Yōkai Academy to escape from him. Unfortunately, all he found there was death and unlike Tsukune, he admits he never had anyone to protect him when he first arrived. His true form is repressed by a Holy Lock, similar to Tsukune's. Unlike Tsukune, Hokuto monster form is a giant insect-like creature with massive blades for appendages that can cause massive damage. Even with his true form suppressed, Hokuto is intelligent and a powerful practitioner of martial arts, which, when combined with his ability to unwrap and extend his fingers to strike with rock-shattering force, makes him a deadly foe. Hokuto attacks the board chairman and claims his rosary, entering the basement of Yōkai Academy, where the mechanism controlling the barrier is located. Tsukune and Moka manage to bring him down, but it takes a combined effort from Tsukune, his friends and Hokuto to restore the barrier, with the hybrid recalling Tsukune's promise to bring some form of order back into the student body. Hokuto reconciles with Tsukune, but summarily leaves after the school festival begins.

He is currently with Fairy Tale and is confined to a wheelchair. His position is 1st Subdivision Staff Officer.

Appearance

Hokuto Kaneshiro is very tall in stature standing almost a foot over Aono Tsukune, in fact it is the height difference between Tsukune and Hokuto that Tsukune takes first notice of upon Hokuto's introduction. He has dark brown hair and black eyes which he wears glasses over. In Season 1 Hokuto dresses in a black variant of the Yokai Academy uniform, how ever during his fight with Moka and Tsukune it is shown that under it he wears a dark tank top which shows off his battle hardened muscular physique as well as the many scars he has gained over the years he also wears a silver pendant around his neck with a skull etched upon it . Hokuto like Tsukune also wears a Holy Lock in order to keep his remaining humanity in tact, Hokuto's lock is on his right arm and is shown to have nearly all of it's links shattered. In Season 2 Hokuto's style of dress consists of a white business shirt with a black vest to go over it as well as black pants,black business shoes,a dress tie, and an expensive looking watch with a leather band. His most notable feature in Season 2 however is that he is for some yet to be explained reason wheel chair bound.

Personality

Hokuto has shown to be a very manipulative individual with an intellect to match. He was able to keep one step ahead of the headmaster as when he was prepared to break out of a barrier pre-prepared by the latter, as well as knowing how to disable the barrier veiling the Academy from the humans outside. He would also use others to do his dirty work and bore no remorse when they were killed, like when he deceived Tsukune into believing he was working against the very organization he himself was leading. While although he maintains a relatively calm demeanour, deep down inside he's just as sadistic as any other antagonist.

Manga

Year One

He is introduced as the President of the committee that is preparing for the coming school's festival, but is revealed to be the leader of ANTI-THESIS after the incident of Mizuki's attempt to kill Tsukune, Kurumu and Mizore (due to a slip in his mouth revealing that he's part of ANTI-THESIS); which eventually failed after Tsukune breaks the 3rd part of the Holy lock which allowed him to tap into the powers of his vampiric blood.

Year Two

Fairy tale 1st Subdivision Staff Officer. He was last seen after the failed attempted of crashing the plane. After the fight at the Wong Mansion, he and Kiria appeared. He says that he know where Akuha and Moka are heading and they are here to help Tsukune.

Abilities and Power

Hokuto's monster form

Hokuto was once a human, but due to being injected with monster blood by Kiria he has become a Hybrid. He is now able to transform his limbs into sharp protrusions and turn into a large multi-limbed beast after removing his Holy Lock. Even after being reduced to navigating within the confines of a wheelchair this ability in no way has been affected.

Even with the Holy Lock suppressing his Yōkai-derived prowess he's shown to be quite knowledgeable with barrier magic, as when he easily broke his way out of the headmaster's pre-prepared barrier and managed to cast it on Tsukune's friends with relative ease. He was also aware of the barrier which veiled the Academy from the human world, as well as how to dispel it. In his suppressed state Hokuto was able to fend of Tsukune fairly easily even when under the influence of the injected Vampire-blood, and even when heavily beaten by Tsukune's gang appeared undamaged when he incapacitated the headmaster, hinting he possesses great physical abilities.
