Ah, but if you remember, Yukio's (sp?) grandmother mentioned that the

Nodoka doesn't know who the local demon hunter was.  She might know the
family name _but_ that name _isn't_ Tendo.  Nodoka knows the local demon
hunter died without training her successor but she doesn't know who that
demon hunter was.
