Zenki Tokigita

"“My, mistress Mizuki, please forgive me if I accidentally came across as aggressive. I was just wondering if you are well.” —Zenki" Zenki Tokigita (時来 善鬼) is a character who appeared in the anime All-Star Taimanin. Known as the Steward of Hades, (冥界の執事) he is a former Taimanin human being who survived to the present day as an undead ghost and the eternal protector and butler of the Mizuki family and its current head Yukikaze Mizuki.

Appearance
Zenki's present form is a torrent of red energy taking the form of a humanoid, wearing a three-horned black skull-like mask with glowing red eyes and a butler's clothing with a black suit, tie, pants and shoes and white gloves.

Personality
As a butler to the Mizuki clan, Zenki is loyal and polite to members of the family and devoted to the cause of the clan head and other members, willing to support them with little question or doubt. Having not been an active Taimanin for many years since his death and transformation as a spectral undead, he becomes severely out of shape.

Background
Long ago, Zenki died in a fight for the inheritance of the Ittoryu sword art, which was soon claimed and won by the Akiyama clan. Using his necromancy abilities, he survived by turning himself into an undead ghost. He became the butler and steward of the Mizuki clan and took care of some of the family's duties for decades.

Yukikaze Mizuki
As the current head of the Mizuki clan, Zenki is compelled to protect her at all costs and willing to support her decisions, though he would occasionally question some of her riskier and gut-field choices, but those times were simply because he doesn't want to see harm brought to her. In turn, Yukikaze is very fond of him and calls him "grandpa".

Tatsurou Akiyama
As the boyfriend and eventually husband of Yukikaze, Zenki has very high expectations for Tatsurou to be responsible enough to carry on the legacy of the Mizuki family and is supportive of their relationship. At times, whenever Tatsurou would visit the Mizuki mansion, Zenki would keep a close eye on him and almost constantly meddles in his activities with his lover. Tatsurou, likewise with Yukikaze, is quite fond of Zenki, but sometimes, he views him as a mild annoyance due to his slightly overprotective nature.

Wataru and Hotaru Akiyama
When he first met the twin children of Yukikaze and Tatsurou, Zenki had a sense of deep curiosity with Wataru and Hotaru Akiyama.
