Kanchomé is a mamodo about Zatch's age who wears a blanket sleeper, has an unusual cone-shaped hairstyle, has bug eyes, and sports a duck bill. His sleeper contains an endless pocket filled with candy. His personality tends toward childish and abrasive, often crying and whining like a baby to get whatever he wants; however, he has also shown great determination to protect his friends. Kanchome is also easily scared, often being easily frightened when fighting other mamodo, one of his fears is Brago.
Kanchomé and Folgore lasted long enough to make it into the 'King Festival', the battle between the remaining ten mamodo to determine the new king. After a surprising visit from Dufort, Kanchomé and Folgore received special training to help Kanchomé awaken his hidden power. The results of this training is later shown when Kanchomé beats Zatch in a practice match (a very 'one-sided' match). Later, Kanchomé and Folgore team up to battle against Mir and Gomu after the two track down and attack the demon Purio and bookkeeper Lupa, who were in Milan to recruit Folgore to help them with a show to raise money for a hiding shelter (suggesting they changed their ways after the Faudo arc.) Kanchomé demonstrates not only a newfound confidence, but a startling increase in power as he easily dominates his seemingly stronger opponent. However, there is a massive drawback to Kanchomé's newfound power: in gaining what he wanted, he becomes something horrible and monstrous in the process, losing all sight of the battle and descending into madness until Folgore is forced to stand up to him to turn him back to normal. However, after calming down Gomu by creating a more pleasant "Shin Poruku" experience, they are discovered by the baby bookkeeper Vino, who recites a spell that allows the evil Clear Note to sent two blasts to destroy everyone on the battlefield. With little time to react, Folgore grabs Lupa's book and throws it and his own into the sky, blocking the attack and sending both Purio and Kanchomé back to the mamodo world. Gomu regretted his violent actions towards Purio and Lupa and mourned Kanchomé's being sent back. However, because of Gomu's friendliness towards Kanchomé and Purio, Mir decided to let Zatch burn Gomu's book after a failed attempt at taking out Clear, thus reducing the number of mamodo to five.
Reycom and Hosokawa are the first opponents faced by Zatch and Kiyo in the Mamodo fight. Their element is ice. Hosokawa was a poor maintance man who discovered the mamodo boy in a freezer and discovered the powers of the book. However, he chose to use this power to steal, making him greedy for money and power. To Hosokawa, Mamodo are nothing but tools to be used to get what humans want. Similarly, Reycom believes that Hosokawa is his tool in getting stronger and releasing his own powers. After an attempt to battle and gain Zatch as another weapon in his arsenal, the duo are defeated by the release of the lighting boy's second power spell, Rashield. It is then that Reycom discovers the penalty of the attack the hard way, patting his burning book in vain as he faded back to his world.
Ponygon (also known as Schneider) is Zatch's best and most personal friend throughout the entire Mamodo fight. A small horse Mamodo who acts like a dog and bleats like a sheep, he comes from a long line of horse Mamodo who assist others by letting other Mamodo ride on their back. He and Zatch were best friends even in the Mamodo World, with the boy being the first to ever ride on him in the middle of a crisis and immediately recognizing him when Zatch returns to England. Eventually following Zatch home to Japan, he is regretfully adopted by Kiyo, who immediately can't stand him. Yet at the same time, he also is one of the last Mamodo to not find their partner, desperately wandering the streets when not playing with Zatch to find the one who could read his book, even if he can't stand fighting himself. The one who finally is revealed to be Ponygon's partner is Kafk Sunbeam, an engineer from Germany working on projects in Japan. Through Sunbeam, Ponygon finally finds the resolve and will to fight even if he can't stand going through it. Together, their battle style is armor enhanced by the element of fire and using various battle strategies and maneuvers to best manipulate his battle style. Though mostly an assisting Mamodo during the Milordo-Z and Faudo crisis, he defeated and burn the books of a few mamodo including Dalmos, Zaruchimu and Bari (even though he didn't actually fight him) with his skills and participated in many epic Mamodo battles and survived. Later on he is forced to mature on his own in preparation to fight the evil Clear Note. Literally growing up over ten months time, Ponygon finally proves himself by defeating Clear's Shin Kuria Seonosu Bādo Rerugo spell, but is soon sent back due to the exhaustion of his abilities in the battle.
Wonrei and Li-en are one of the main ally teams. Their abilities center around Martial Arts. Li-en, a young Chinese girl who wanted a boyfriend more than anything, and took to overeating when her father, a Mafia boss named Li-Akron, would not let her see anyone, met Wonrei in a restaurant and was immediately smitten with him. Throughout the series, they have a more romantic relationship with each other than the other Mamodo pairs. Wonrei's martial arts training allowed him to gain a large amount of spells without fighting many Mamodo. When Li-Akron found out about the relationship, he imprisoned Wonrei and the book in his hideout, believing him to be a demon. Zatch and Kiyo help reunite Wonrei and Li-en, and the two return the favor by assisting in the Millennium Arc, even disposing of Demolt and Tsao-Lon, two of the most powerful Ancient Mamodo. During the Faudo Arc, they were forced into the Faudo cult by Riou, who placed a curse on Li-en that will kill her in four days if Wonrei does not help release Faudo. He contributed his most powerful spell, Goraiō Dibauren, to the effort to unlock the tower. After the curse was lifted, he rejoined Zatch's group, but sacrificed his book defending the comatose Kiyo and Li-en from Unko Tin Tin. He later appears as one of the mamodo who assists Zatch when his book turns golden during the battle with Clear Note.
Anime: Wonrei's role in the anime is just about the same until he battles and gets sent back by the winged mamodo Rodeaux to protect Li-en and get Zatch and friends to the next level of Faudo insteaded of the Faudo mamodo Unko Tin Tin.
Kido and Dr. Riddles are a mamodo team that Zatch and Kiyo encounter just before the Ancient Mamodo are released by Zofis. Kido's element is oriented around machines. At first, Dr. Riddles sends his team of American superheroes called the "Majestic 12" and has Kiyo answer a riddle about them. They all leave when Kiyo answers the riddle correctly, but Kido and Dr. Riddles return to battle and reveal to Zatch and Kiyo some of the mysteries of the spellbooks. They seek powerful allies to battle Milordo-Z (whom Dr. Riddles euphemistically refers to as "the evil one" in the Japanese version), and together with those allies they travel to the Deboro Ruins, where Kido's book is burned by Belgim E.O. Dr. Riddles continues to be an ally to Kiyo and his friends, though, conveying information about future threats throughout the series. Dr. Riddles is a former medical doctor who gave up his practice after he failed to save a child during surgery (in the Japanese version, this child is his grandson; in the English version, he is not, presumably due to the illegality of operating on relatives in the United States), and took on Kido because he reminded him of that child. He is very intelligent, and claims to know everything, although he is clearly exaggerating. He enjoys teasing Kido by telling him tall tales and then revealing later that he was "just kidding", eliciting shocked reactions from Kido. After Kido returns to the mamodo world, Dr. Riddles starts doing this with Zatch. Kido appears as a spirit when Zatch and Kiyo's book becomes gold during the Clear Note battle and offers the team use of his spell.
Arth and Elly are a crucial ally team introduced during the Faudo crisis. Their ability is swords. A Mamodo who appears like a living armor, he initially encounters his partner living in a Finnish hospital. But because she was a small girl living with a terminal illness, Elly initially refuses Earth's request, believing that she would die in the midst of the battle to be king making him vulnerable. However when witnessing another Mamodo attacking the defenseless Earth, Elly finally takes up his book and sides with him in the fight. Although small and young, Elly is wise beyond her years and is capable of great strategies while Earth knows of many of the legends of the Mamodo world. Initially encountering Zatch with knowledge of the threat of the awakening Faudo Tower, Earth and Elly test them to discover the power of the legendary Baō spell, which they understood were key both to awaken and ultimately defeat the massive Mamodo. However, Riou still uses the duo to his own advantage, placing his curse on Elly and subsequently reawakening her disease. Due to this, Earth, as well as Zatch, play along in using their spells to wake Faudo. But after lifting the seal, Earth soon helps in the effort to eliminate the tower, working with Karudeio to destroy the Heart Guardian and set the controls for return. After Faudo's defeat, Earth and Elly were one of the ten remaining Mamodo in the King Festival, but they were also the first targeted for sendback, ultimately losing to beetle Mamodo Goomu. Earth is one of the mamodo who appears to Zatch when his book becomes gold during the fight with Clear Note.
Rein and Kairu are a friendly team met by Zatch in southeast Asia. Their spells revolve around brute strength. One of Zatch's friends from the Makai, Rein is a large and powerful Mamodo, who nonetheless does not want to fight in the battle, both due to his own reluctance to hurt people and his bookkeeper Kairu's timidity. Although typically seen as a massive, bear-like creature, Rein has the ability to transform into a human with light blue hair. Sending Zatch a letter to come and remove him from the tournament, Rein is soon set upon by Purio and his new partner, Faudo cultist Rodeaux. With the assistance of Zatch, Kiyo, and some newfound confidence from Kairu, Rein succeeds in driving away his assailants, at which point Zatch honors his request by burning his book. Rein is one of the mamodo who appears to Zatch when his book becomes gold during the battle with Clear Note.
