| 22 | |
| 23 | Keima's mother, an ordinary Japanese housewife... who used to run with [[{{Delinquents}} biker gangs]]. She runs a little cafe from the Katsuragi home, "Cafe Grandpa". She loves Keima, but worries about his future. She adores Elsie, whom she thinks is her husband's illegitimate daughter, and treats her like her own. |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * BadassBiker: She was part of a motorcycle gang, and hasn't lost her touch, [[http://kaminomi.wikia.com/wiki/File:TWGOK34_18_RH.png much to Keima's distress]]. |
| 26 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a really sweet mother. Just don't get on her bad side. Ever. |
| 27 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has orange hair and eyes. |
| 28 | * DeathGlare: She sported [[http://kaminomi.wikia.com/wiki/File:Angry_Mari_Katsuragi.jpg an impressive one]] when she called her husband after Elsea's introduction to the household. |
| 29 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Those who get on a motorcycle with her as the driver will be left in a state of shock for a while. |
| 30 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Whenever she gets angry, she lets her hair down. |
| 31 | * FieryRedhead: ZigZagged. While she usually acts calm and gentle, the redheaded Mari used to be a member of a biker gang and still has a nasty temper that comes out when someone provokes her. |
| 32 | * FormerTeenRebel: Before she got married and had Keima, she was once part of a biker gang. Now she lives as an ordinary Japanese housewife who runs a café, but she can still get nasty if someone makes her angry. |
| 33 | * TheGlassesComeOff: When she takes off her glasses, someone's about to enter a world of pain. |
| 34 | * GoodParents: She's a good and loving mother to both her son ''and'' Elsea who she believes is her husband's illegitimate daughter. There's this one scene in Kanon's conquest arc where she scolds Elsea for staying out late and then hugs her and says how worried she was about her. Then she scolds Keima for not looking after "his little sister". |
| 35 | * HotBlooded: Some things she ''really'' gets into. |
| 36 | * LettingHerHairDown: When she undoes her PrimAndProperBun, she stops acting like a docile housewife and goes full-on former BadassBiker mode. |
| 37 | * LikeADaughterToMe: Even though Elsie lied about being her husband's illegitimate child, Mari loves her as if she was her own daughter. |
| 38 | * MsFanservice: The manga doesn't have much fanservice, but what little there is comes almost exclusively from her. Enough that her [[http://kaminomi.wikia.com/wiki/File:Episode_card_9.0.jpg end card portrait]] in season 1 episode 8 is done by Sano Toshihide, an {{Eroge}} artist. |
| 39 | * ObnoxiousInLaws: A mild case with her husband's father but she seems to get along with her mother-in-law. Her cafe, "Cafe Grandpa", is named in honor of Denma. |
| 40 | * {{Otaku}}: Although it doesn't come up much, Keima does mention that she's a bit of a manga fanatic. Which might be where he got his game obsession, come to think of it. |
| 41 | * ParentalSubstitute: Even though Elsie claims to be her husband's illegitimate daughter, Mari easily accepts her into her home and clearly loves her as much as she loves Keima. Elsie quickly accepts Mari as her mother figure. [[spoiler:At the end of the manga, Elsie really becomes her daughter through a CosmicRetcon]]. |
| 42 | * PervertRevengeMode: She leaves the man who dared to grope her ass in a pool of his own blood. |
| 43 | * PrimAndProperBun: When she's in her pleasant mode, her hair is up in a bun. |
| 44 | * RedBaron: Used to be known as the "Snow Woman of the Mountain Pass". |
| 45 | * RetiredBadass: She used to be a member of a biker gang before she settled down and became a housewife. But she's still willing to bring the smack-down, as one unlucky groper discovered. |
| 46 | * {{Tsundere}}: Sweet type. She can switch from gentle and nice mother to brash and hot-headed former biker, and right back at the drop of a hat when her husband and son make her angry. |
| 47 | * WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: She has often wished Keima wasn't so game-obsessed and tried to enjoy the real world a little more. She does love him very much and doesn't really try to get in the way of his pastime, but she's still scared that one day he will end up as a crazy hobo married to a literal cardboard cutout if he continues down his current path of life. |
| 48 | * WomanScorned: She is ''not'' happy when she thinks her husband is cheating on her, while Elsie (and later Haqua as a joke to her upon their first meeting) is actually just making it up. |
| 49 | * WrenchWench: Shown to have been working on her motorcycle in the first season's 8th episode. |
| 50 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Her baseline is a kind and loving Japanese housewife but don't forget that "Nadeshiko" is the name of a wild flower. |

| 55 | |
| 56 | Keima's father, a man who is almost never home due to travel for work. |
| 57 | ---- |
| 58 | * AlliterativeName: His given name and surname begin with the same kanji. |
| 59 | * DisappearedDad: He has to travel a lot for his work, so he isn't ever seen at home with his wife and son. |
| 60 | * TheGhost: The closest time when we first get to see him is in Keima's flashback but [[TheFaceless his face is blocked]]. |
| 61 | * MistakenForCheating: Elise (and Haqua as a joke) claim that Keiichi is their father. When Mari angrily calls him about having slept with other women, he's understandably confused about it. |
| 62 | * WhenYouComingHomeDad: He is often overseas for work. |

| 68 | |
| 69 | Keima's grandfather and Keiichi's father. He once lived in Maijima City but gave his house to Keima's family when their house was destroyed in an earthquake 10 years prior to the story. He and his wife now live in Yamaguchi Village. |
| 70 | ---- |
| 71 | * CrappyHomemadeGift: He worked hard and made a bowl decorated with a game character for Keima. The picture looks very crappy, but it's the thought that counts. |
| 72 | * DotingGrandparent: He loves his grandson Keima and keeps the stuff that he sent to him. |
| 73 | * ObnoxiousInLaws: He isn't as welcoming to his daughter-in-law Mari as he is to his grandson Keima. It seems he has issues with Mari's delinquent background. |
| 74 | * TerribleArtist: His attempt at a picture of one of Keima's dating sim heroines is really bad. |

| 82 | |
| 83 | Keima's homeroom teacher. She frequently abuses Keima, but (like the rest of his teachers) has mostly given up on scolding him. |
| 84 | ---- |
| 85 | * ActionGirl: [[spoiler:Her fight against Lune]] shows us what she's made of. |
| 86 | * AloofAlly: She's captured two escaped level four spirits single-handedly, but since she's working on a different mission, hasn't revealed herself to Keima's group. |
| 87 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: She's a tall, aloof and mysterious woman with black hair. |
| 88 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: Her involvement in matters of Hell and ability to seal high-level demons call into question whether she's human. [[spoiler:In the time travel arc, she's revealed to be the "other self" of Dokuro Skull. However, unlike demons, she seems to age like a human.]] |
| 89 | * AnimalEaredHeadband: She wore a headband with cat ears in the outfit she wore for the teachers' skit. |
| 90 | * AntiHero: She's definitely one of the good guys, yet she's quite brutal against her opponents and doesn't hesitate to kill them. |
| 91 | * BadassBystander: [[spoiler:Gets called out to capture Level Four Weiss, but is working on a different mission from the rest of the Runaway Spirit Squad. For over ten years, with the help and inspiration of a time-traveled Keima, she sets out to enact the chain of events that lead to Keima foiling Vintage so that all the fighting can end.]] |
| 92 | * BadassTeacher: She's Keima's teacher and later chapters show she's quite the ActionGirl. |
| 93 | * BroughtDownToBadass: [[spoiler:She is Dokurou, the super-powerful devil who helped Keima in the past, but in the present mentions that she's basically just human now. She still has access to some pretty powerful magic, though, just not the "curb-stomp everything the enemy sends at us" kind]]. |
| 94 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:In the final chapter, having helped Keima save the human world and New Hell, she considers her job is done and decides to quit being a teacher.]] |
| 95 | * ChekhovsGunman: Appears very early, but doesn't really do anything until Yui's arc. |
| 96 | * ClingyJealousGirl: [[spoiler:She kept on taking [=PFPs=] from Keima and beating him for playing dating sims in class because she was jealous that her "onii-chan" was paying attention to other girls, in games and later out of games too, and not to her.]] |
| 97 | * CollaredByFashion: Wears a studded collar. [[spoiler:Given the nature of the collar, the studs are likely glued on.]] |
| 98 | * DarkIsNotEvil: She has dark hair and mostly sports dark-colored clothing, but is a stern yet decent teacher who also [[spoiler:works from the sidelines in capturing Weiss]]. |
| 99 | * DressedLikeADominatrix: Her costume for the teacher's skit is a skimpy leotard that exposes her cleavage and abdomen. It also comes with thigh high boots and a [[WhipOfDominance whip]]. |
| 100 | * GoodIsNotNice: There's no doubt that she's Keima's ally, but she'll still beat the crap out of him. |
| 101 | * HiddenAgendaHero: What her job is and what her intentions are remain unknown, though it's clear that she opposes Vintage and other similar groups. |
| 102 | * HotTeacher: During Nagase's omakes, she disapproves of how Nikaido's style 'tempts' students [[HypocriticalHumor before having a brief memory flash of kissing Keima.]] |
| 103 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She acts stern and aloof, especially towards Keima. Despite that, she's actually a very nice person who cares about others. |
| 104 | * MarkOfTheSupernatural: She's the only (allegedly) human character with purple eyes, which is one of the first hints of her connection to Hell and demons. |
| 105 | * MysteriousProtector: Throughout the series, there's some moments where Nikaido appears to help in Keima's missions without letting him realize it, but it's unknown what her motives are until near the end of the series. [[spoiler:In the past, she and Keima agreed to act like they don't know each other should they ever meet again, but she also promised to always be by Keima's side to protect him.]] |
| 106 | * NotSoStoic: Nikaido is normally quite cool and collected, even when dealing with rude or hostile people. However, the moment that [[spoiler:Keima not coming back]] becomes a ''[[NearVillainVictory very]]'' real possibility, her composure is shot and she is reduced to [[spoiler:crying out to Keima[[note]]Yelling ''"Onii-chan!"'', no less.[[/note]] in the hopes that he is not forever lost to time,]] showing that despite everything, [[spoiler:Dokurou/Nikaido never loved Keima any less than ten years ago.]] |
| 107 | * SecretSecretKeeper: Turns out she knows a lot more about New Hell and Keima than she lets on, but makes an effort not to let him realize it. |
| 108 | * SternTeacher: She isn't pleased with Keima playing galge games at class, but is willing to leave him be. However, if he talks rudely to her or gets too noisy, she won't hesitate to hit him and throw him out of the classroom. |
| 109 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: She's normally cool and collected, but she does show a softer side later in the series [[spoiler:after she reveals her identity as Dokurou and her remaining love for her "onii-chan" Keima.]] |
| 110 | * WhenSheSmiles: [[spoiler:She finally smiles at Keima in the final chapter, when she says goodbye to him and thanks him for everything before they go their separate ways.]] |
| 111 | * WhipOfDominance: During the school's Mai-High Festival, Yuri Nikaidō gets DressedLikeADominatrix (it's supposed to be a demonic CatGirl henchwoman) complete with a whip, which very much fits with her authoritative and domineering behavior. She herself is [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl annoyed by it]] as this leads to some of the male students to openly ogle her, causing her to snap and use her whip on them and Keima notes that she seems like she's [[CovertPervert secretly enjoying it]]. |

| 119 | ---- |
| 120 | * BoringYetPractical: She goes and studies in a {{cram school}} unlike the other members of 2-B Pencils. |

| 133 | * ClassRepresentative: She's the class representative and can occasionally be seen giving out handouts and such. However, despite her decently important position in the class, the author never got around to giving her a name. |
| 134 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: She looks a bit different when comparing her from her initial manga appearance to her later appearances. |
| 135 | * GirlishPigtails: Her original look has them hang behind her while her current look has them in front. |
| 136 | * MeaningfulName: Mobuko means "mob-girl" referring to her status as a mob character. |

| 148 | * EvilIsPetty: Well, he's not really evil per se, but.... During one of his test, he promised that he only approves extracurricular activities if the students get perfect grades on his test. Then, after the test, he happily approves everyone's activities despite their score because [[spoiler:Keima, who he hates because [[BunnyEarsLawyer he keeps playing games during lessons but always gets perfect scores]], [[TheBGrade scores]] ''[[TheBGrade 99]]'' [[TheBGrade out of]] ''[[TheBGrade 100]]'']]. |
| 149 | * GratuitousEnglish: Despite being an English teacher and thus having an excuse to use the language, he doesn't appear to be that good at it. |

| 161 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Shiori takes over the library, she goes out of her way to avoid telling the teachers despite it being the easiest solution since she doesn't want to get Shiori in trouble. After she manages to get in, she agrees to a compromise with Shiori to save as many books as possible. |

| 182 | Haqua's partner, a middle-aged [[BlandNameProduct Gokult]] saleslady. Not the fastest of workers, especially now she's getting on, but not to be underestimated either. |
| 183 | ---- |
| 184 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent: Yukie isn't Haqua actual mother, but their dynamic does make Haqua heavily resemble a BrattyTeenageDaughter who is terribly embarrassed of her mother. Haqua is especially annoyed by Yukie's habit of pushing Gokult merchandise on any likely takers. |
| 185 | * BoringYetPractical: Her spirit-capturing method is to simply talk to the host every day. While slow, she's working on so many at once that Haqua's record is actually quite good. |
| 186 | * BumblingSidekick: In Haqua's eyes, Yukie is an utterly incompetent sidekick who wastes time trying to sell Gokult instead of actually working on their capture targets. Then it's subverted when Keima realizes Yukie is ''not'' useless; she works slowly, steadily and patiently on her targets. Haqua, being rather less patient and feeling the need to prove herself, initially dismisses her, until Keima makes her see that Yukie's method of capture does ultimately work. |
| 187 | * FunTShirt: Wears one that says, "NO PUNK NO LIFE". |
| 188 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Yukie's design stands out for her [[BlackBeadEyes dotted eyes]] and round face with afro-smooth hairstyle. |
| 189 | * ParentalSubstitute: She behaves as if Haqua was really her daughter, even though they're not actually related and Haqua is easily [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 200 years older than her]]. |
| 190 | * ShipperOnDeck: Although not outright stated, she seems to try to manipulate Haqua and Keima getting together. Such as telling Keima that Haqua must be in a good mood because of him and how she supposedly talks about how good-looking he is. She also insists on him taking a bath and then tells Haqua that he already went home when she herself wants to take one. Keima is able to see through it though, unlike Haqua. |

| 203 | * ButtMonkey: According to the author's notes, he's matched only by Elsie in being treated like a useless moron by smarter characters. |
| 204 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: He's only working for Hell because he likes Nora's boobs. |
| 205 | * DumbBlonde: He's essentially brainless and can't even left or write or how to write his own name. He is, however, confident in his attractiveness and seems to enjoy flipping his blond hair. |
| 206 | * HandsomeLech: Ryou is very good-looking and claims to be a Casanova-type of man that can charm any girl. In reality, he's an idiot who turns girls off with his flamboyant and dumb behavior. |
| 207 | * RunningGag: Ryou is terrible at kanji and can't even write his own name. He always writes "Bald" on accident. |
| 208 | * SomethingAboutARose: The majority of his appearances has him holding a rose. The rose also holds his notes. |
| 209 | * WastedBeauty: It's acknowledged in-universe that he is very pretty, but he's also so stupid that he's absolutely useless in his job of romancing girls to try and push the escape spirits out of their hearts. |
