Anna Kyouyama
Aggressive and decisive, Anna is a pragmatic person who appears cold and harsh. However, she has shown that she genuinely cares for those important to her. She is extremely dedicated to being "The Ultimate Shaman Queen" and the wife to [Yoh](https://anilist.co/character/167/Asakura-Yoh), the first friend that she ever had. She firmly believes that Yoh is destined to become the Shaman King, and believes her duty (as an Itako - a spirit medium) is training him extensively for it. She is almost always seen wearing a red bandana; the bandana is usually worn on her head, but she starts wearing the bandana around her neck like a scarf and sports a pair of black sunglasses after departing for the Patch Village. Anna's spiritual strength is shown as she was able to seal in [Hao Asakura](https://anilist.co/character/172/Asakura-Hao)'s guardian spirits (called as shikigami) - Zenki and Kouki, and was able to control them. Anna and Hao seem to have an odd relationship of their own - Anna detests Hao and even slapped him once. Surprisingly, he was not angry, but actually seemed amused. It has also been hinted that Anna is the reincarnation of the original Asakura Hao's mother from 1000 years ago, Asano-Ha; others think that Hao possibly had feelings of his own for Anna and wanted her for himself, it had not been proven false because what he said to her in the manga he said he was serious about taking her as his bride. In the end of the main series Anna is wife of Yoh and they have one child who is the protagonist of Shaman King's sequel.
