The protagonist of Tsukihime is Nanaya Shiki. Or used to be until he changed his name. Tohno Shiki is SHIKI, who reverted and killed (or not) Nanaya Shiki.

Melty Blood made things rather complicated by putting down both Shikis as almost the same guy, but MB's Nanaya Shiki is what Nanaya Shiki would have been if he had not been killed by Tohno Shiki (= SHIKI). So in MB Nanaya Shiki is a 'what-if' character, fictional even in the fictional world of the TMverse. For Tsukihime, Nanaya Shiki is the name people usually use to refer to the protagonist.

Ryougi Shiki is the protagonist of Kara no Kyoukai: the Garden of sinners.

And then there's Satsujinki...
