Kengo Ujii

Kengo Ujii is an exorcist and Genbu (玄武) of the Twelve Guardians.

Appearance
He is a tall man with green eyes and spiked hair; with a pair of eyeglasses. He appears to be wearing a green yukata cloak and inside is a black uniform with green lights.

In the past, Kengo did not have his hair spiked up; and is combed down. After the incident that caused the loss of Sahanasaki's students, he now has a large scar on his back which resulted from shielding Kankuro.

Personality
Kengo is known to be rather irritable. He is also shown to have a miserly personality and is very greedy when it comes to money; shown when he charged Arata Inanaki 10000 yen for a BonBonBina Magical Girls shirt because the shipping and handling fee in the anime, and charging the mainland exorcists per his services in the manga. Furthermore, he would often include moneymaking as a primary reason to doing jobs; and sometimes would compulsively calculate expenses (or losses) with his abacus at certain instances.

Despite his annoyance towards his friend and fellow Guardian Kankuro, he has shown a great degree of care and guilt about what happened in the past; as well as a form of anger that stems from the way of life Kankuro lived afterwards. His desperation to turn Kankuro back to how he was in the past was great enough to force him to tempt Rokuro in revealing Kankuro's weaknesses. While somewhat still forceful towards Kankuro after the Castle Games, he shows that he cares about him greatly; saying that the void inside him left by the accident would never heal if Kankuro himself never tried to recover.

Plot
Kengo is seen being treated by Kankuro.
