Yomikawa Aiho

Yomikawa Aiho (黄泉川 愛穂) is teacher at Touma's school and a friend of Komoe. She is beautiful, has glamorous proportions, and is always seen with a green jersey and often ends her sentences with "-jan". Despite having a glamorous figure, she acts in a tomboyish matter and regularly joins colleague Tsukuyomi Komoe in drinking sessions after their work. She also always teases Komoe, her senior & friend.

Background
She is a member of Anti-Skill and cares deeply for her students (in spite of having a "spartan" approach in teaching according to Komoe), and is an active peacekeeper within Academy City. Due to her habit of ramming delinquents with protective items like shield or helmets to resolve incidents, saying it's alright to do so since those are protective items, she's known as 'the woman who uses comedy-like methods to solve problems that could end up as a tragedy'.

As a favor to her old friend, Yomikawa is asked by Yoshikawa Kikyou to take care of Accelerator and Last Order after they are released from the hospital.

Yomikawa suspects that Accelerator is involved in Academy City's dark side, which he does not deny, but instead calls Yomikawa naive for thinking the things that barely scratch the surface are the worst that things can get. Later she brought Accelerator back out of the dark side briefly, before he got dragged back by Kakine and got herself stabbed by Dark Matter.

She also tells him that he may not be as bad as others said he was.

She later assists Accelerator in attempting to find Last Order. While doing so, she has a heart-to-heart conversation with Accelerator regarding his past which seems to have some affect on Accelerator.

During Vento's invasion of Academy City, she is affected by Vento's "Divine Punishment", due to her hostility towards "the one attacking Anti-Skill". She is later found by Kikyou who is unsuccessful in waking her up. After Touma defeated Vento, Aiho was eventually freed from the "Divine Punishment's" curse.

In the aftermath of the invasion, she states that Accelerator "left her home", however unbeknownst to her, this was so because Accelerator was forced to join GROUP. Her duties as an Anti-Skill have increased due to the need to increase security for the impending war. However, she also states that while they have increased security at Academy City's borders, this has also caused the Skill-out to become more ambitious in their own goals.

During the Index II finale, she is seen having a conversation with Kikyou and Komoe, complaining that she was requested for additional work as a representative of Anti-Skill.
