Ponchi (ポンチ, "Ponchi") and Conchi (コンチ, "Konchi") are the guardian ghosts of Tamamura Tamao. They are voiced by Ken'yuu Horiuchi and Tsutomu Kashiwakura in the Japanese anime.
About
A tanuki with large testicles and a kitsune who are the familiars of Tamao Tamamura. They are four-hundred-year-old spirits who are unable to evolve into Seirei Class spirits because of their large egos. Until they met Matamune, they didn't wear anything to cover up their over-sized testicles; however, after getting beat up they both started wearing Mawashis. Both of them act like crappy old geezers who constantly forget their place as house spirits. They are, however, immensely afraid of Anna due to her intimidating attitude and how she can actually physically hurt them.
Ponchi and Conchi Funbari no Uta
Both of them are very perverted, threatening to strip in front of others or urinate on an opponent while holding them with Ponchi's oversized testicles. They appear to be constantly solid and can conceal themselves as statues. Several years after the Shaman Fight the two finally lost most of their ego though they retain some of their it and are now acting like normal ghosts. They have evolved somewhat and wear traditional Japanese kimonos. Conchi has grown long black hair and Ponchi smokes a pipe.[1]
Even if they are a nuisance to everyone, they haven't been sealed yet because they can be pretty useful too. Spying is their specialty and they are often used for reconnaissance. They are able to perform simple, though not very reliable, divinations, cast easy curses and harass the enemy as well.
