:: Kaien Cross ::
Voiced by: Hozumi Goda
Headmaster Kaien Cross (黒主 灰閻理事長 Kurosu Kaien Rijichō?) is Yuuki's adoptive father, who also took Zero into his home for several years. Headmaster Cross dreams of peace between humans and vampires, and established the Night Class to promote understanding between the two races. Cross is shown to have a habit of provoking Zero and is eccentric in some ways, but he has a serious side as well. In chapter 58, he was talking to Isaya. An old friend of Kaiens who has been asleep for 50 years. This shows that Kaien is well over 50 years old.It is revealed in a bonus chapter (59.5) that Kaien Cross is over 200 years old. He never ages because his vampire genes (which all hunters possess).
The headmaster is revealed to have several secrets, including that he was a former vampire hunter. He knew both of Kaname's parents, who founded the Cross Academy peace treaty before their deaths, and feels indebted to them, in particular Juri Kuran, who had spared his life sixteen years ago after he had attempted to take away her life, not knowing then that she was pregnant with Yuuki.
During the defense of Cross Academy, Cross stands against the hunters from the Hunters Association, refusing to kill any vampires and intending only to protect the Night Class as they defend the Day Class, and asserts that he has no intention of allowing the hunters to take Yuuki. His vampire hunter weapon appears to be some sort of sword, which he uses to kill the President of the Hunters Association who had turned corrupt from drinking Rido Kuran's blood.
