San Otonashi is a graduate of Yōkai Academy and the former Newspaper Club president. She rarely speaks, which because her powers lay in her voice, and carries around a sketch book to write on instead of talking to keep others safe. She was the one who taught Ginei Morioka how to use a camera and stopped him from fighting everyone in his first year. She now lives with Marin who found her after she had nowhere to go.

Personality

San is generally a very happy, pleasant, and sweet girl. Though despite her youthful appearance, San is actually a very mature and tough character. Back when she was in Yōkai Academy she was responsible for straightening out Ginei. Due to her shyness she doesn't talk, but her form of communication is by her notepad on which she writes out her dialogue.

According to Ginei and Haiji, San was a truly fearsome fighter back when she was in Yōkai Academy. Like Moka, San's notepad serves as her limiter for her powers. When she closes her notepad, she's serious about fighting. Her powers as a Siren are so great, that she was deemed a "Genius" by Yōkai Academy standards and earned the nickname "Siren In the Dark".

When she graduated from Yōkai Academy, she had no place to go. Luckily, Marin Kawamoto brought her under her wing. She cares a lot for Marin and will do anything to please her. However due to her Siren nature, she feared that she'd be shunned by her if she told her. However after revealing her true form, Marin still loves San and happily accepts her monster nature.

By the end of the Newspaper Club's Summer Trip, San has grown a slight attraction to Tsukune, much to Gin and Haji's disappointment.

Appearance

San has blue eyes and collar-length dark-blue hair which she ties back with a polka-dot ribbon. She wears a long-sleeved, knee-length polka-dot dress with a dark ribbon on her chest. As a Siren, San possesses a circular marking on her tongue.

Despite looking as young as Yukari Sendo, San is actually older than her and the rest of Tsukune's friends as she has already graduated Yōkai Academy

Manga

Backround

San was abandoned by her parents, left at the Yokai orphanage, due to her powers being too strong. She decided to stop speaking and started to use a notepad to write out what she was thinking. In time, she came to be known a the "gang leader" of Yokai Academy although she had no idea she was who they were talking about. She eventualy met "Mad Dog" Ginei Morioka and decided to fight him until he got tired of fighting as his poor behavior was reflecting poorly on the Newspaper Club. She taught him how to use a camera, although this lead to his peeping habit by accident. She also became friends with Haji Miyamoto. After graduating from Yōkai Academy, and lacking a home to go to, San wandered the human world aimlessly. She was eventulay found by Marin Kawamoto, who took her in. Never having had someone be so maternal to her, San quickly became attached to Marin, coming to see her as a surrogate mother.

Year Two Summer

San first appears after purposely running into Tsukune when trying to escape from monsters. Following that, she and Moka get kidnapped due to the head mobster thinking that San had run into close friends. Luckily, thanks to Tsukune, who was the only one allowed to help as he was once fully human, came and defeat the attackers. After being rescued, San met up with the rest of the current Newspaper Club.

They arrive at the seaside inn where San worked and lived at before a co-worker tries to fire her. Marin keeps that from happening. The following day, the co-worker stole money form the bank due to a threat from a member of Fairy Tale. This was however rectified by the Newspaper Club, who helped them get additional funds by bringing in new customers.

Later, Kanade Kamiya arrives at the inn making another attempt to recruit San as she had repeatedly turned down Fairy Tale. Marin, not realizing that San is monster, tells Kanade to leave them alone. Kanade laughs and attempts to attack them. The Newspaper Club fight valiantly to protect them before Kanade uses his Siren voice to blind them. Before things get too far out of hand, San shields Marin and the club. San, after writing a short farewell to Marin in her sketchbook as she thought Marin would no longer want a monster to live with her, releases her wings and nature and sings beautifully, canceling out Kanade's song, which allows Tsukune to hurt Kanade.

Unfortunately, one of Kanade's Mermen shoots a blast of pressured water at Marin, forcing San to block to protect her. This knocks San out, but Marin accepts San for who she is, not caring if she's a siren. San wakes up in time to save Tsukune from a fully transformed Kanade with her own voice, but reveals she had used ultrasound to slowly break him up on the inside. San offers Marin the change to avenge her deceased husband that Kanade killed four years previous and herself. She held out a piece of wood and made it clear that if Kanade's death wouldn't be enough, then she would allow Marin to kill her as well. Despite her resolve to die, San trembled, revealing her reluctance to die.

Marin only pats San on the head like she normally would, telling San that she accepts who she is. Overjoyed, San happily cries into Marin's arms. That night, everyone went to the beach to light fireworks. San meets her old friends Haiji and Gin, who both like her.

When the Newspaper Club departs back to Yōkai Academy, San is handed Marin's bankbook by Gin, who recovered it from the now dead employee. Using a large poster of herself and Marin, San invites the Newspaper Club to come back soon.

Year Two, Alucard's Return:

During Alucard's return, San arrives as one of the allies on Yokai Academy's side to help fight him. Miyabi was left amazed at her offensive song being able to destroy a piece of Alucard. She then held up her notepad which said "I will be your opponent".

While this was going on, the wounded human soliders mistook San for an angel due to her wings and wondered just what was going on. San amended her statement by revealing another page that said "'We will be your opponent" before The Excorcist arrived. She then joined him and Touhou Fuhai in engaging Alucard in battle.

After using her "Siren in the Dark" attack, she told Alucard that the few seconds he needed to mend the damaged tendons in his shoulders could be the gap separating life and death. Fuhai and Mikogami then hit Alucard hard enough to knock off the top of his head. Afterward, Fuhai came up and complimented San on her attack and that it aided his efforts, San became a bit bashful as a result. Mikogami then showed up and said that Fuhai hadn't done the job, that he had. Afterward Mikogami and Fuhai began having a tough guy showdown up close and personal with San trying to stop them. Fuhai griped about Mikogami's brains turning to muscle when he transformed, and Fuhai called him on that fact he hadn't really changed in 200 years as he flirted with Akasha back then as well and told him not to hit on San.

The arguemment was then dispelled when they sensed a powerful release of Yokai which Mikogami realized was Tsukune's power. After Alucard realized what was up, Mikogami told San to warn the others while they kept Alucard busy. San showed up when Fang-Fang, Ruby and Yukari did, sounding the alarm. Finding out that Tsukune needed help to master his power, San joined Fang-Fang, Yukari, Mizore, Kurumu, Kokoa, Akua, and Ruby in Akua's spell circle as a circle of friends to help Tsukune and Moka. After Alucard showed up, he tried to kill Tskune and Moka, only to lose his hand in his attempt. When the smoke cleared showing Tsukune and Moka alive as fully realized Shinso Vampires, San was part of the tearful outpouring of joy that they were both alive.

After Tsukune and Moka tored Alucard to shreds but the shinso refusing to die as he rosed up, San has claimed that Alucard is invincable and an opponent they can't beat. She joins with Tsukune and the rest in the final battle when Alucard reveals his true plan of taking over the country with his clones that hatched in the eggs he planted all over the cities.

Powers & Abilities

When San was just a little girl, her powers were already so strong that her parents couldn't even keep her in check, hence why she was left in the care of Yōkai Academy's Elementary and Jr. High School program.

San is a Siren who has a "perfect song of protection". Her true power, however, lies in her ultrasonic offensive song which slowly breaks apart her opponent from the inside-out. San likens this ability to a dolphin emitting an ultrasonic sound (or a song) which cause tiny injuries to occur within her opponent's body. The injuries may be small, but the damage will slowly increase over time; slowly but surely killing her opponent.

San's notepad is her limiter and both Gin and Haji note that when she closes it and begins to speak it means that she is getting serious. It should be noted that San, said by Gin, is said to be the "strongest of all generations" among Yōkai Academy, along with the fact that she is also called "Siren in the Dark".

Quotes

"A song you cannot hear... destruction you cannot see... that is my ability."
"You were the only one... who I did not want to see in this form. Marin-san, I wonder what you think... Am I scary...? ...If you wish... to take revenge for your husband... that person has been badly beaten up, but I haven't taken his life. If you wish to... you can finish him off. And I, who am a Siren the same as him... if you cannot forgive me, then you can also..."
"To repay Tsukune-san and everyone else's kindness, to protect the entire human world that i love, I cannot let you pass.
