->'''Status:''' Alive
Keitarou Gentouga is a first year college student, born with the ability to sense ghosts, as well as being SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious. After an incident two years ago, he became cursed to have nerves grow out of his right hand, which he has to regularly get surgically removed to prevent it from hurting him. Due to this incident also causing his ChildhoodFriend Eiko to be cursed, he shuts himself away in his room, believing he would bring disaster for others. After being convinced by Eiko that he could lead a normal life, he studied hard to enter college along with her. To get back his social skills, Eiko suggests becoming a tutor to gain confidence, not knowing it was a plot to make him work together with Yayoi on her mission.
* ActionSurvivor: Besides his sensing ability, he is pretty much a normal human, barely surviving against multiple mass-murdering ghosts all aiming to eat him.
* AllLovingHero: He often expresses sympathy towards ghosts when he sees their past through his powers, even after they tried killing him.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: He vows to protect Eiko and stay by her side, as well as Yayoi, who he promises to join in on her mission for as long as she desires and fight along side her.
* BigBrotherInstinct: In spite of his fear of ghosts, when he hears Yayoi is endangering herself to find a way to break his curse, he uses himself as bait so that Yayoi could escape.
* BlessedWithSuck: His sensing abilities means he can usually avoid any haunted spot and detect the presence of ghosts nearby, which allows him to warn others. However, those with spiritual abilities are those who are usually targeted by ghosts in the first place, and Keitarou is exceptional where it's a 100% certainty he would meet one in a haunted spot, where its one third of a chance for Yayoi and even lesser for normal humans.
* BornUnlucky: He was born with his powers, only surviving to adulthood because of his grandmother's advice.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Eiko, who he knew since elementary school.
* ExtremeDoormat: At the start, he was dragged along by Yayoi and Eiko, not being able to refuse because he was worried about their safety.
* EyeScream: Nearly suffers this by the spirit of the old F tunnel, only avoided because the substitute doll took the damage.

* OfficialCouple: With Eiko.
* ShrinkingViolet: Even before he became a shut-in, he seemingly lacks any friends beside Eiko, and lacks self-confidence in talking with people.

->'''Status:''' Alive
Keitarou Gentouga is a first year college student, born with the ability to sense ghosts, as well as being SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious. After an incident two years ago, he became cursed to have nerves grow out of his right hand, which he has to regularly get surgically removed to prevent it from hurting him. Due to this incident also causing his ChildhoodFriend Eiko to be cursed, he shuts himself away in his room, believing he would bring disaster for others. After being convinced by Eiko that he could lead a normal life, he studied hard to enter college along with her. To get back his social skills, Eiko suggests becoming a tutor to gain confidence, not knowing it was a plot to make him work together with Yayoi on her mission.
* ActionSurvivor: Besides his sensing ability, he is pretty much a normal human, barely surviving against multiple mass-murdering ghosts all aiming to eat him.
* AllLovingHero: He often expresses sympathy towards ghosts when he sees their past through his powers, even after they tried killing him.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: He vows to protect Eiko and stay by her side, as well as Yayoi, who he promises to join in on her mission for as long as she desires and fight along side her.
* BigBrotherInstinct: In spite of his fear of ghosts, when he hears Yayoi is endangering herself to find a way to break his curse, he uses himself as bait so that Yayoi could escape.
* BlessedWithSuck: His sensing abilities means he can usually avoid any haunted spot and detect the presence of ghosts nearby, which allows him to warn others. However, those with spiritual abilities are those who are usually targeted by ghosts in the first place, and Keitarou is exceptional where it's a 100% certainty he would meet one in a haunted spot, where its one third of a chance for Yayoi and even lesser for normal humans.
* BornUnlucky: He was born with his powers, only surviving to adulthood because of his grandmother's advice.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Eiko, who he knew since elementary school.
* ExtremeDoormat: At the start, he was dragged along by Yayoi and Eiko, not being able to refuse because he was worried about their safety.
* EyeScream: Nearly suffers this by the spirit of the old F tunnel, only avoided because the substitute doll took the damage.
* NaiveNewcomer: To the world of ghosts. He avoids haunted spots as much as possible and protects himself by advice from his grandmother, the owner of a shrine.
* OfficialCouple: With Eiko.
