Boss (played by Guts Ishimatsu) is a protagonist in Blood.
Boss is Hoshino's former superior. After Hoshino exposes powerful figures and is assigned to a quiet post, Boss warns him to keep his distance from Miyako, who is connected to an old unsolved murder.

Ukyo Kuronuma is a wealthy businessman who Miyako identifies as the killer in the old mansion murder. He has endured for centuries through mysterious blood, but jealousy and his need to feed lead him to kill young women.

Detective Hoshino is a police investigator reassigned to a quiet post after exposing powerful figures. Despite orders to leave the old murder case alone, he investigates Miyako's accusation against Ukyo and confronts him. Miyako's blood revives Hoshino into a being compelled to feed, and his unusual blood makes him an exception to their condition. He later seeks eternal sleep with Brigitte. Brigitte (played by Sayo Yamaguchi) appears in Blood.
Brigitte is Miyako's deaf companion, who has survived for more than three centuries by drinking small amounts of Miyako's blood.
