Saya Kisaragi (Japanese: 更衣 小夜, Hepburn: Kisaragi Saya)[lower-alpha 1] is the main protagonist of the Blood-C anime television series co-created by studio Production I.G and manga artist group CLAMP. Saya Kisaragi is first portrayed by her false life as an innocent and clumsy girl who acts as a shrine maiden at her father's shrine, going out at night to hunt Elder Bairns as part of sworn duty.[1] In reality, she is an Elder Bairn who was raised by humans, and her personality is very stone cold and stoic.

Besides the anime series and the 2012 sequel anime film, Blood-C: The Last Dark, Saya Kisaragi made appearances in multiple related adaptations within the Blood-C universe.
Saya Kisaragi was designed by manga artist group CLAMP, who changed Saya's character overall from previous incarnations of the Blood franchise, with her last name being "Kisaragi" and not "Otonashi", and an appearance of a meganekko (眼鏡っ娘, lit. "Glasses-wearing girl"). Director Tsutomu Mizushima, CLAMP's leader and series' lead writer Nanase Ohkawa handled her character with series supervisor Junichi Fujisaku.[2][3] Saya Kisaragi is voiced by Nana Mizuki, and Alexis Tipton voices her in the English dub. Kanon Miyahara portrays her for the live-action appearances.[4][5][6][7][8]
