Nagisa Shiowatari
A marriage between Ryunosuke and Nagisa was arranged by their two fathers who longtime friends. It appears from the start that Nagisa is a girl who is merely been lied to, and would be crushed if she found out her fiancé was a girl. But it turns out that Nagisa already did know and what's more, she's a guy.
Similar to Ryunosuke's upbringing, Nagisa is actually a boy who was raised to be a girl by his father. This transvestite fiancé gives Ryunosuke the creeps and so she doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Nagisa however is completely in love with Ryunosuke. When they first appeared, Nagisa and his father were dead and wandered as ghosts but by drinking the tear of the giant sea urchin Nagisa regained human form. He now can persue Ryuunosuke to his heart's content, however he still retains many spiritual qualities. For example, Sakura's spiritual wards repel Nagisa as they would any ethereal ghost.
Nagisa has quickly become the biggest problem in Ryunosuke's life. Especially since we soon find out that despite his girlish upbringing, Nagisa was a champion sumo wrestler and is an even stronger fighter than Ryunosuke. Ryuu's father is no help either since he encourages Nagisa's lewd behaviour.
