1	[[folder:Momosuke Yamaoka]]
2	-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/ToshihikoSeki (Japanese) and Creator/GrantGeorge (English)
3
4	The protagonist. A young author who gets tired of creating riddles for children and now wants to make material for his story. Along the way he finds things that he shouldn’t have…
5	----
6	* ActionSurvivor: He’s an ordinary human, yet he still manages to get out of trouble with enough thinking and his allies.
7	* BoyMeetsGhoul: He’s just human and clearly has something for Ogin, who’s undead.
8	* BreakTheCutie: Oh, boy. This show is dedicated to ruining his view of life.
9	* CharacterNarrator: He’s the viewpoint character.
10	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Wants to outright be a part of the Ongyo. [[spoiler:Never happens.]]
11	* IWillWaitForYou: [[spoiler: The ending has him believing that the Ongyo are still alive and he hopes to see them again.]]
12	* TheKlutz: Prone to all sorts of injuries. In fact, ''the very first scene of the show'' has him slipping and nearly falling to his death.
13	* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:The only one who got out of the FinalBattle alive. Perhaps an AvertedTrope with the possibility of the Ongyo being alive.]]
14	* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:While it does end with the Ongyo presumably dead, he’s still able to save the day by stopping what’s going on.]]
15	* TookALevelInCynic: By the end of the series, he’s become far less idealistic after everything he’s dealt with.
16	* WeirdnessMagnet: Well, he has to be if he wants to write facts about monsters.
17	* WideEyedIdealist: At least at first. It slowly ends with him losing this.
18	* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: Happens quite often. Actually the very first thing you see in the opening is his right eye shrunken in fear.
19	* WritersSuck: He’s ''everyone’s'' ButtMonkey. He barely goes without dealing with some sort of trouble.

23	-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/RyuseiNakao (Japanese) and Creator/SteveKramer (English)
24
25	A short man Momosuke meets one day. As it turns out, he’s the leader of a supernatural group named the Ongyo.
26	----
27	* AffablyEvil: While he’s not outright evil, he’s a generally jovial person and takes a genuine liking to Momosuke.
28	* {{Catchphrase}}: “To the next world, we commit thee!”
29	* CreepyGood: He’s a little disturbing, but in the end is one of Momosuke’s allies.
30	* HeyYou: Calls Momosuke “Mr. Author” rather than his name.
31	* TheLeader: Heads the Ongyo and Ogin and Nagamimi follow his word.
32	* MrExposition: He’s usually the one who gives Momosuke a rundown of what’s been going on in the episode.
33	* ShorterMeansSmarter: He’s the shortest of the main protagonists and is undoubtedly a genius.

36	[[folder:Ogin]]
37	-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/SanaeKobayashi (Japanese) and Creator/KarenStrassman (English)
38
39	A beautiful woman Momosuke meets when looking for the bathroom after finding shelter. She’s the group’s main way of luring the VillainOfTheWeek.
40	----
41	* BrokenBird: [[spoiler: Shows shades of this. It turns out that she was murdered by a man posing as her father.]]
42	* CreepyDoll: Uses one to dupe her foes.
43	* HeyYou: Calls Momosuke “Author”, but she eventually averts it in the end.
44	* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Momosuke given how she’s the girl he’s been the closest to.
45	* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Nothing is holding up that dress.
46	* MarshmallowHell: Gives one to Momosuke in her second scene.
47	* MsFanservice: Oh, yes. In fact, the ending song features her naked.

53	[[folder:Nagamimi]]
54	-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/NorioWakamoto (Japanese) and Creator/MichaelMcConnohie (English)
55
56	A tall man who is able to disguise himself. He meets Momosuke disguised as a motel owner.
57	----
58	* TheBigGuy: He’s the tallest of the group. It makes dealing with heavier stuff relatively easier.
59	* ButtMonkey: He’s prone to all kinds of attacks. When he disguises as a monk, he gets mauled by dogs and is drowned by the hermits later on.
60	* DeadpanSnarker: While Mataichi and Ogin show shades of this, it’s especially prominent with him. Their last scene in the first episode has him snark about the pair’s current argument.
61	* MorphicResonance: The only part that doesn’t disguise with the rest of him fully is the ears.
62	* NeverBareheaded: Never seen without that hat of his.
63	* VoicesAreMental: Has the same voice even in disguise, though the first episode has him able to change his voice. This is potentially EarlyInstallmentWeirdness.
64	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Typically disguises himself to get close to whomever.
