History Characters / IchibanUshiroNoDaimaou

List of characters that inhabit ''LightNovel/IchibanUshiroNoDaimaou''. As usual, spoilers might be below.

!Protagonist
!!Akuto Sai

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AkutoSai_2891.jpg

Left on the steps of a church as an orphan, Akuto thought he was going to be the good guy. He traveled to the Constantin Magical Academy to study and hone his magical abilities, in hopes that he would one day become a great priest in the service of the church. However, on his first day, the vocational raven proclaimed that he was destined to become the next Maou, or Demon King. As a result, most of the school has turned against him, and even his attempts at trying to ScrewDestiny only serve to drag him further down the path of evil. He's attracted a small harem of followers, ranging from a robotic private detective to a young fanboy, who all have their own reasons for wanting to see whether or not Akuto will become the next Maou.

----
* AccidentalPervert
* AntiAntiChrist
* {{Badass}}: It's hard to take down a dragon with little other than your own fists and not be one.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Akuto tries to use his powers for good purposes, but they either backfire, such as when he tried to zap a demon to stop it, which then made it stronger, or people radically misinterpret it as him using it for evil, such as when he's using his power to protect Hiroshi from some thugs, only to have Junko show up late and assume he was abusing his power.
* BrutalHonesty: Downplayed in the manga and the anime, but in the novels, he really has no problems with telling people such as Fujiko ''exactly'' what he thinks about them.
* CassandraTruth
* CloseCallHaircut: Courtesy of Junko in episode 3. Subverted when it's shown that he didn't completely avoid the strike and got a small cut near his eye.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* DarkMessiah
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Well, after his first time using it he is aware of how ridiculously powerful he is, but he nevertheless has serious trouble controlling it.
* DragonRider:
* FirstKiss: With Lily.
* FlatEarthAtheist
* HealingFactor
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Accused of essentially being the Antichrist, his every attempt to prove otherwise only feeding into it
* IShallTauntYou: Not so much in the manga or anime, but he pulls it off a few times in the novels. For example:
-->Bullies: (Threatening Akuto) "Don’t talk back to us. Don’t you know what happens when you do that?"
-->Akuto: "Well, there’s two of you, so will you put on a [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine manzai]] act?"
* {{Naytheist}}: Justified, since the gods actually ''are'' just systems.
* NiceGuy: In spite of his heritage/destiny.
* ObliviousToLove:
* PersonOfMassDestruction
* PunnyName: His quest to be a paragon of goodness is doomed from the start when his very ''name'' pronounced phonetically (''Sai Akuto'') literally rhymes with "Ultimate Villain" in Japanese.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* SatanIsGood
* UnskilledButStrong: Though he eventually upgrades to Strong and Skilled.
* TheSoCalledCoward
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: It turns out that demon kings are artificial human beings.]]
* VillainBallMagnet: No matter how hard he tries, he just cannot seem to prove to the other students that he's not a bad guy.

!The Maou's Followers
!!Junko Hattori

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Junkohattori_5740.jpg

A descendant of a powerful family of ninjas dedicated to following the (Japanese) traditions of their god, Suhara, and fighting evil. Junko came to the Academy with Akuto after a chance meeting and became friends with him. However, after actually arriving at the school, Junko has had a love-hate relationship with him, trying to square her feelings for him with the possibility that he will become the next BigBad of the whole world. The fact that most of their conflicts end with him destroying her clothes doesn't help.

->Voiced by: Creator/YokoHikasa (JP), Creator/LuciChristian (EN)

* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Depending on her mood.
* HairDecorations: Two pink barrettes on the left side of her face.
* KnightTemplar: Moreso in the anime than the manga.
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: In episode 3, she assembles a lynch mob to kill Akuto, but at the climax of the episode, Keena makes a comment that causes said lynch mob to turn on Junko as well. To really drive the point home, when Junko insists that it's a misunderstanding and that they should listen to what she has to say, Akuto tells her that he's been saying ''the exact same thing'' to her this whole time.
* MsFanservice
* PoorCommunicationKills: Her FatalFlaw; she constantly misinterprets Akuto's attempts to do good as evil and tries to kill him based on such conclusions, rarely, if ever, giving Akuto a chance to clear things up in the process.

* {{Sarashi}}[=/=]{{Fundoshi}}: She wears both of them underneath her clothes.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: The special episodes focus mainly on Junko.
* {{Tsundere}}: Mostly type A.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

!!Hiroshi Miwa

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/HiroshiMiwa_6714.jpg

It's unknown what, if any, magic he wields. However, Hiroshi seems to have a good knack for knowing the various relationships and events happening between the people at the Academy. After Akuto saved him from some bullies, Hiroshi ended up becoming fanatically devoted to him as a friend, possibly even more.

[[spoiler:Also, the same raven that proclaimed Akuto was destined to be the next Maou? He later judged Hiroshi to be the next Hero.]]

* [[spoiler:TookALevelInBadass]]
* [[spoiler:TookALevelInJerkass: Brave, despite his good intentions, is quite arrogant and he acts like only he knows best and no other does, even though he only recently was given power. He also becomes something of a hypocrite, deciding to do anything for the girl he loves, including helping the BigBad, yet he condemns Akuto for being prepared to do something like kill God for a girl that he [[BalancedHarem possibly loves]].]]

!!Kena Soga

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kena_soga_6893_38.jpg

A long time ago, Kena was a fellow orphan in the same church that Akuto was raised in. Akuto apparently helped her out when she was sad. Several years later, they ran into each other at Constantin Magical Academy just as Akuto was trying to apologize to Junko for the day's previous events. Currently, Kena is known for three things: turning invisible, flying, and eating rice in all its forms. She constantly hovers around Akuto, hoping that he'll become the Maou not because she is particularly evil, but because she wants him to succeed as a good friend.

She is rumored to hold the "Law of Identity," which means that if she "forms a contract" with another, that person could gain the power of a God.

* InvisibleStreaker
* [[spoiler: RealityWarper: to some extent, she manages to make everyone forget that Akuta is the demon king so he can live peacefully]].
* RedHeadedHeroine
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Rice. She thinks that if everyone would just sit down and share some, peace would reign.


!!Fujiko Etou

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/EtoFujiko_8544.png

She's a master of magic and medicine, head of the Academy's Discipline Committee, has her own fan club, and is generally considered one of the school's idols. But this popularity hides a much darker side that was born in part because of her family and in part because of her love for her mostly-dead brother whose head she now keeps in a jar. Fujiko is constantly looking to find a way to control the Maou for her own purposes, though he may be more difficult to handle than she realized.

After Akuto saves her from a dragon, she decides to stop trying to control him and start trying to worship him instead.

-->Voiced by: Creator/ShizukaIto (JP), Creator/ShelleyCaleneBlack (EN, as Eileen Dover)
----
* ADateWithRosiePalms: In one early scene, Etou is obviously pleasuring herself ''just'' off-screen as she [[{{Fanservice}} lounges around in her underwear]] and [[EvilGloating monologues about her plan to gain control over Akuto]].

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Poor Etou-senpai. She ''really'' does try ''so'' hard at it, but falls somewhat short...At least in the anime. In the manga, she's actually a bit more effectual.
* MadScientist: She can create surprisingly potent {{Love Potion}}s at whim and later spent some time creating horrible monsters to impress the Maou.
* ManipulativeBitch
* [[NoblewomansLaugh Noblewoman's Laugh]]
* TheOjou
* SchoolIdol
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

!!Korone

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Korone_219.png

!Student Council
!!Lily Shiraishi

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/LilyShiraishi_1220.jpg

President of the Student Council, she wears a very expressive witch's hat and talks with a slight lisp. Along with monitoring the school behind the scenes, one of her duties appears to have been safeguarding ancient ruins that contain items of interest to the Maou, but whether she's trying to protect Akuto from the school or the school from Akuto is up for debate.

!Cabinet Intelligence Magick Office, "[=CIMO8=]"
!!Yamato Bouichirou

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BoichiroYamato_7679.jpg

The rumored head of [=CIMO8=] with a magical sword power that can cut through anything, including ''dimensions''. He has been working behind the scenes to try and neutralize the Maou before he became too powerful.

According to the anime, he is actually a time-traveler who lost his lover to the original Maou, and somehow traveled to the present to stop the current Maou, Akuto, from gaining the same powers. However, when he discovers the reincarnation of his lost love in the body of Kena Soga, he instead decided to inherit the power of a God with Kena's "Law of Identity".

-->Voiced by: Tarusuke Shingaki (JP), Leraldo Anzuldua (EN)
----
* BigBad
* GoodIsNotNice
* HeroAntagonist: In the novels, this aspect of him is constantly emphasized. Despite some of the unsavory things he does for humanity, he is fundamentally a very good person at heart. Even ''Akuto'' refers to him as the incarnation of goodness, and Teruya Keizo calls him a fundamentally good person even after Bouichirou ''slices him in half''.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Subverted, purely by virtue of the fact that Bouichirou isn't really evil. However, his main motivation in his quest is his love for one of the previous Laws of Identity.
* LightIsGood: See HeroAntagonist
* OlderThanTheyLook: Yamato apparently fought the previous Maou along with the old man currently serving as Headmaster of the Academy
* RageAgainstTheHeavens
* WellIntentionedExtremist: After seeing his motive for doing the things he does, you can hardly blame him...not that it justifies his actions any.

A mysterious green-haired girl who freelances as a spy for [=CIMO8=]. She has a rivalry with Junko that stretches back between their families, both of which have been [[VideoGame/Left4Dead jockey]]ing for position under the God Suhara. Eiko is willing to do anything to gain more power, from seducing the potential Maou to backstabbing members of her own clan.

Another agent of [=CIMO8=] who seems rather well-adjusted compared to the others, as he is shown in a professional suit and tie during his debut. He has the ability to control human-looking puppets remotely with his magic, and thus no one knows his true face. [[spoiler:It is revealed in Volume 6 that [[SamusIsAGirl "he" is actually a girl]] who appears to be around ten years old.]]
