Arata Inanaki

Arata Inanaki is an exorcist and Taijō (太裳) of the Twelve Guardians.

Appearance
He has the appearance of a young man with dark blue colored hair that partially covers his right eye. He is seen wearing a blue and white uniform with over sized sleeves.

Personality
Not a lot is known of Arata's personality, but as a Guardian, he has displayed absolute confidence in his skills and the pride that comes with the position.

He also maintains a calm and fixed facial expression throughout his short appearance. Arata seemingly takes a representative role for the Guardians that appeared following the fight against Yuto Ijika, being the one that does most of the talking.

Despite his portrayal as a serious character, a major contrast is his habit of putting "-tan" at the end of a person's name. He addresses both Benio and Arima as "Beni-tan" and "Arima-tan", despite not being particularly close with Benio. He was also quite shocked by Rokuro declaring that he and Benio will conceive the Miko

He has been an otaku since 14, when Harumi Tsuchimikado brought him and Arima to the Mainland. He loves the BonBonBina Magical Girls show and even buys a T-shirt that cost him 10,000 yen.

In his house, he had a T-shirt that has a photo of his schooling years at a school for exorcists.

Plot
About 28 years ago, he was friends with Arima Tsuchimikado, Narumi Ioroi and Seigen Amawaka. The group worked together to defeat the eighth Basara Chikura, along with 50 other exorcists.
