Main Characters

Both

• Big Damn Hug: In the final chapter, Ichiko and Momiji's farewell involves the two of them fighting as usual, only for Ichiko to start crying and run into Momiji's arms for a hug, showing how much Momiji has come to mean to her despite their rocky start.
• Bust-Contrast Duo: Ichiko has one of the biggest busts out of any girl in the series and her Sitcom Arch-Nemesis Momiji's chest is flat like a washboard. Ichiko's huge rack is the main reason why Momiji hates Ichiko from the get-go.
• Fire-Forged Friends: They start as bitter rivals, but by teaming up against bigger enemies like Yamabuki, Tanpopo and Botan, they come form a strong bond of friendship and trust.
• Fusion Dance: In chapter 27, they fuse their bodies using a Misfortune God item. Ironically, the fusion makes them weaker since it cancels out both of their opposite powers to zero.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: After the Botan arc, they come to recognize each other as friends (even if they won't say it out loud) and Ichiko lets Momiji live at her apartment, showing how close they have become.
• Like an Old Married Couple: They constantly bicker with each other while growing into close friends over time. After they become roommates, Yamabuki lampshades this when she sees the two arguing over Momiji not doing her own laundry, and compares them to a Lazy Husband and his nagging wife.
• Lovely Angels: Ichiko is a big-breasted human girl with an absurd level of luck and Momiji is a flat-chested Misfortune God with equally bad luck. They start off in a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis relationship, but they later grow into Vitriolic Best Buds and work together to face enemies like Tanpopo, Botan and Ikari.
• Mayfly–December Friendship: Momiji is centuries old and as a deity, she ages at a much slower rate than humans like Ichiko. Although they hate each other at the start, they gradually become true friends. Although, Momiji knows she should leave Ichiko before they get too attached to each other because gods can't live alongside humans.
• Power Makes Your Hair Grow: After absorbing a massive amount of Ikari's energy, Ichiko and Momiji gain a Super Mode with their hair growing past their feet.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Ichiko has extreme luck and breasts that Momiji would kill for. In return, Ichiko can't stand Momiji's sarcasm, intrusiveness, and lying.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Ichiko is much more feminine and well-kempt than the crude and grubby Momiji.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: At first, they hate each other, but both gradually come to respect and care about each other, even though they never stop butting heads.

Ichiko Sakura

Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa (Japanese), Brina Palencia (English)

The unofficial "princess" of Taion High School, Ichiko is a Mary Sue in the making: beautiful, strong, athletic, smart, popular with boys, and blessed with a great rack. She's also quite spoiled rotten inside, and her perpetually good fortune is revealed to be the result of unconsciously sucking out that of others. Beneath that rotten core, however, is a kind soul still hurting from the many years of parental neglect.

---

• Abandonment-Induced Animosity: Ichiko resents her parents because they were almost completely absent throughout most of her life. Although she understands their work overseas keeps them busy, she sees it as no excuse for them almost never coming back to see her, no even for her birthdays. Later on, her father comes back after years of being away only to ask her to move to America with him. Understandably, Ichiko is furious at her father for suddenly showing up after basically abandoning her since her childhood and then expecting her to be willing to leave behind her friends in Japan to move to another continent with him.
• Academic Athlete: Thanks to her fortune energy, Ichiko is excellent at both studies and sports.
• All-Loving Heroine: Through her Character Development, Ichiko comes to want everyone gets a happy ending, even the Big Bad Ikari.
• Badass in Distress: In the Tanpopo arc, Ichiko is defeated by Tanpopo and allows herself to be captured because Tanpopo will kill her friends if she doesn't. Momiji and the rest of her friends go to save Ichiko since the Fortune Gods want to erase Ichiko's existence because of her excessively good luck. Near the end of the arc, Ichiko receives a much-needed scolding from Momiji for acting helpless while her friends are putting themselves in danger for her sake and Ichiko frees herself from the Shock Collar to take on Tanpopo.
• Bait-and-Switch Character Intro: The first chapter has her looking and acting angelic while ugly girls talk badly about her in the restroom as she's secretly in range to hear them. Her face is shadowed, looking depressed... and then she bursts out laughing and gloating about how awesome she is.
• Battle Couple: In the Final Battle against Ikari, Ichiko and Keita fight together and repeatedly express their feelings for each other to boost their willpower with the Misfortune God Item they're using.
• Berserk Button: She really can't stand parents that mistreat and/or neglect their children, just like her own.
• Big-Breast Pride: She likes to boast about her huge rack, especially because her Sitcom Arch-Nemesis has a bad case of A-Cup Angst.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Deconstructed. She's sweet and polite to her classmates, but utterly callous, self-absorbed, rude, mean-spirited, selfish and condescending to most people who know her better. And she's well aware that she's keeping a sweet facade, now under threat from Momiji's bullying. Beneath all that, however...
• Boob-Based Gag: Her large bust is one of the more common sources of humor.
  • In one chapter, she thinks she somehow managed to gain weight despite her lucky nature. Turns out her breasts just grew again.
  • In the same chapter, her breasts are now too big for her school uniform, causing the buttons to pop up and hit Keita right in the Pressure Points of his face, instantly knocking him out.
• Boring, but Practical: During her fight with Ranmaru, Ichiko wins through combination of her good luck and putting Ranmaru in an armbar until she surrendered.
• Born Lucky: She's so incredibly lucky that it actually curses the people around her because she absorbs their luck. Taking out even tiny amounts of the energy that fuels her luck can be used to heal others and cause similarly miraculous occurrences.
• Braids of Action: After achieving godhood by absorbing a massive amount of Ikari's energy, Ichiko's hair grows past her feet and gains a braid.
• Broken Ace: Rich, beautiful, popular with boys, ridiculously lucky, intelligent and doesn't need to work hard. There is basically nothing she does not have— except any friends, family, peers, and the ability to take care of her own homestead. This has resulted in intense anti-social behavior and a self-destructive It's All About Me complex.
• Broken Bird: Beneath that callous, bitchy facade lies a sad little girl suffering from Parental Neglect, loneliness, and continually haunted by a horrible childhood betrayal.
• Brought Down to Normal: Her fortune energy is taken away by Momiji during Tama's introduction arc. Another instance occurs at the start of Ikari arc. Both cases don't last long. At the end of the series, she decides to give up all her fortune powers for good.
• Buxom Beauty Standard: She sports large, bouncy breasts that make her a huge Dude Magnet and cause Momiji constant A-Cup Angst.
• Calling the Old Man Out: Her father first shows his face to her after years to ask her to move to America with him and make up for the time they couldn't spend together before. Ichiko snaps, tries to attack him with a giant hammer and yells at him for essentially abandoning her since childhood and then appear out of nowhere to ask her to move to another continent without any consideration for her feelings.
• Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them: Momiji is constantly driving Ichiko nuts with her attempts to steal her good luck. When Momiji turns into a human Nice Girl and doesn't seek to fight her anymore, Ichiko gets bored and realizes Momiji's antics make her life more fun. When Momiji has to leave forever at the end of the manga, Ichiko is forced to admit how much she will miss Momiji and breaks down crying as they bid farewell to each other.
• Catchphrase Insult: In the English dub, Ichiko has a habit of shouting "GET OUTTA MAH HOUSE!" to Momiji.
• Cathartic Crying: After the final battle with Ikari, Momiji stops showing herself for a while and Ichiko continues like normal, even though deep down she's afraid Momiji left the human world without saying goodbye to her. At the end, Momiji goes to see Ichiko one last time for a proper send-off and Ichiko challenges her to a last duel, before crumbling into mess of tears and letting her real feelings out (which Momiji was waiting for).
• Cherry Blossom Girl: Sakura is her family name and her level of good luck is abnormally high. Her personality initially doesn't fit the archetype as she's a self-centered Rich Bitch, but she improves a lot through Character Development. When Keita gives a Love Confession to Ichiko, the cherry trees behind her burst into full bloom, even though it's November.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: She gets very upset whenever other girls get close to Keita, although Ichiko herself can't tell why.
• Close-Call Haircut: A portion of her hair gets cut off when dodging the needle of Momiji's syringe.
• Cry into Chest: In the final chapter, Ichiko bawls into Momiji's arms before the latter leaves the human world.
• Cynicism Catalyst: Kurumi's betrayal drove the once sweet, cuddly kid into the Bitch in Sheep's Clothing she has become when the series started. Once other characters helped her transcend her personal demons, her innate kindness rises again.
• Daddy's Girl: The dearest person to Ichiko is her surrogate father Suwano since he was the only person who always looked after her since infancy. Her relationship with her biological father is very troubled because Ichiko resents his neglect, even if he regrets it.
• D-Cup Distress: Downplayed. It doesn't look like Ichiko has any issues with her big breast size, but after a brief body swap, Momiji realizes Ichiko's breasts are very heavy and cause backache.
• Doom Magnet: Until she seals the ability by using an item, she would drain the fortune from her surroundings, causing destruction and despair for people around her, moreso the closer she was to them.
• Dude, He's Like, in a Coma!: She kisses an unconscious Keita to gain enough confidence before the final fight with Ikari.
• Dude Magnet: Every guy at her school is crazy about her.
• Eastern Zodiac: Her Shomin Shourai can summon up to twelve Guardian Gods, each one representing an animal on the Zodiac.
• Embarrassing Damp Sheets: Ichiko feels utterly humiliated when she wets the bed at Keita's house after being turned into a little kid by Momiji.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Keita's younger brother calls her "Chichiko", which can be translated into "Titty-ko" and keep the same meaning. Ichiko is annoyed by getting called that.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: She gets a shorter hairstyle towards the end of the series, showing her Character Development into a nicer and more upbeat girl.
• Fanservice Pack: Her bust size is B96 at the start of the series and they keep growing. According to Ranmaru and the character profile, they're nearly B100 when the manga is ending.
• Faustian Rebellion: Her incredible Fortune energy was given to her by Ikari as part of a plan to make Kanna into a god. Towards the end of the manga, Ichiko uses her power to fight against Ikari and stop his Evil Plan.
• First Girl Wins: The first to interact with Keita after he's introduced, the one he falls for and eventually the one Keita confesses his love to.
• Freudian Excuse: A Bitch in Sheep's Clothing posed as her friend only to steal her crush away. Ichiko decided to not let something like that happen to her again by becoming a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing herself.
• Friendless Background: She didn't have any friends before high school due to the jealousy of her peers. One girl got close to her in late elementary school, but she was just a False Friend who pretended to like her for her own gain. Ranmaru is the first person to become Ichiko's true friend.
• Friendship Moment: Early in the series, she kicks Momiji out of her closet when the latter moves in uninvited, so she goes and sleeps under a bridge. Many chapters later when they're Vitriolic Best Buds, she feels bad and invites her back.
• Good Feels Good: After grudgingly agreeing to help the people around her, she realizes that she actually likes helping people.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: She can go from calm to extremely angry with minimal provocation.
• Hates Being Alone: Ichiko grew up without friends and was neglected by her busy parents, which made her despise the feeling of loneliness.
• He Is Not My Boyfriend: She tries to deny there is anything romantic going on between her and Keita. She isn't fooling anyone.
• Heal the Cutie: This is the core of Ichiko's character arc. The absence of her parents in her life and feeling betrayed by the only girl who pretended to be her friend made the once innocent girl into a self-centered Rich Bitch who has decided to care for no one but herself and her butler. The Misfortune God Momiji puts her through several trials to make her realize helping people and making true friends is good. Gradually, she melts back into being a sweet, happy girl, and by the end of the manga, is no longer in need of Momiji to rehabilitate her, because Ichiko has turned into an even bigger sweetheart than ever before.
• Heroic BSoD: During the Ikari arc, a bond severance god snaps the relationships Ichiko has with basically everyone that's not Keita or Momiji. Keita's memory is erased and Momiji fakes one of those Break Her Heart to Save Her situations. This leaves Ichiko on verge of breaking down until she realizes what Momiji was doing. She halfway recovers and when Kumagai tells her what happened to Ranmaru and Nadeshiko, she basically returns to normal.
• Hey, You!: She refers to Momiji by her title rather than her name for quite some time. The first time she calls her by her name isn't until Momiji's personality not only flips, but she's actually about to die because of it.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: Ichiko tries hard to act like the most despicable person to anyone new she meets in an attempt to push people away. Anyone who knows her a bit better can figure out that she's not a bad person; just lonely and scared of being hurt.
• Humanizing Tears: She's so heart-achingly cute when she cries that it's hard to believe those tears come from a callous, selfish school princess.
• I Just Want to Be Loved: Part of her resentment towards Keita is that, though materially poor and abandoned by parents, at least he has siblings who love him just as much as he loves them back, in stark contrast to her situation — rich in belongings but poor in care.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Despite trying to pretend otherwise, Ichiko desperately wishes to have friends she can open up to, but her False Friend Kurumi scarred her so badly that she's too scared to befriend anyone. Ichiko finally gets over this by gathering the courage to accept Ranmaru as her friend.
• Important Hair Accessory: In the final chapters of the manga, she starts wearing a cherry blossom hairpin to symbolize her new open, kind-hearted, and cheerful personality.
• Important Haircut: At the end of the series, Ichiko trims her sassy hair down into an adorable bob, allowing herself to be girly and approachable, especially for her boyfriend.
• Inconsistent Coloring: Originally, Ichiko had brown eyes in early manga volumes. Starting from volume 6, colored art depicts her eyes as cyan instead. The anime adaptation uses cyan for her eye color.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: The main reason why she stubbornly refuses to give up her good luck is that the only way Ichiko can feel safe is by being treated as special and superior by others.
• It's All About Me: At the beginning, all she cares about is herself and Suwano. Anyone else can go suffer and die in a ditch for all she cares.
• Jerkass Has a Point: She pisses off Keita and his family early on by noting he'd have an easier time living with his large family if they had more money and keeps talking about it when it's clear that A. his family is happy and B. he'd rather that she shut up already. However, they do admit that she's perfectly right and that they'd like more money.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: No matter how condescending, selfish and bitchy she is, deep down she genuinely cares for the few people she can call her friends, such as Keita, Suwano, Ranmaru and even Momiji.
• Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: After becoming a god at the end of the Final Battle, she defeats Ikari while wearing a gorgeous and elaborate kimono.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover: She adopts a small kitten she names Tama as her pet. This is one of the biggest signs that Ichiko's emotional growth into a gentler and compassionate person.
• Lack of Empathy: In the second chapter, she badly offends Keita with her Rich Bitch attitude, completely unaware as to why. She's also constantly unconcerned about other people's problems and actively wants to see them harmed if it will benefit her in the slightest. However, it's not that she has no empathy, she's simply a little out of touch with it after acting aloof for so long.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: Even if Crunchyroll-based subs somewhat exaggerate it, Ichiko has a very foul mouth in the original regardless.
• Large Ham: And boy is Kana Hanazawa having the time of her life!
• Lethal Chef: She cannot cook at all. She can turn a kitchen full of delicious ingredients into nuclear waste in two minutes. Her cooking once made a god explode. Her cooking is so bad that she cannot even crack an egg without destroying the yolk without extreme practice. She manages to improve her skills enough to make a decent meal for her boyfriend by the end of the series.
• Like Parent, Like Spouse: Ichiko feels very attracted to men who are reliable caretakers like her father figure Suwano. This is lampshaded in the Sick Episode where Ichiko is hallucinating because of her cold and for a moment, she sees her crush Keita as Suwano. She also gets aroused at the thought of Keita wearing one of Suwano's butler outfits.
• Lonely Rich Kid: Her parents are always too busy with work to spend time with her and she couldn't make friends because other kids were jealous of her for being rich and popular. Until Momiji kickstarted her Character Development, Ichiko never opened up to anyone other than her butler Suwano. She grows out of it after she makes more friends.
• Loner-Turned-Friend: Her good luck made her stand out way too much from her peers, which made it hard for her to make friends who didn't have ulterior motives. One of the most essential parts of her Character Development is her forming a group of friends who truly care about her.
• Loony Friends Improve Your Personality: Ichiko is a very self-centered Rich Bitch until the eccentric Momiji comes into her life and pushes Ichiko into making friends with a bunch of crazy and quirky characters. Despite finding them annoying at first, Ichiko comes to love the new friends as they made her life so much more fun and she grows into a much better person as a result.
• Lovable Alpha Bitch: At school, Ichiko is the boys' object of worship and the girls' target of jealousy. Initially, she's arrogant, attention-seeking, and mean-spirited, but she acts this way because she's afraid to be hurt by others. Those who get to know her learn she's not that bad deep down, and she becomes a better person thanks to Character Development.
• Magic Skirt: The manga admits the author doesn't want to draw panties, so Ichiko's skirt never moves out of place enough to see her undies.
• Manipulative Bitch: She controls others by tugging on their heartstrings. A lot.
• Martial Arts Headband: In the Final Battle, Momiji provides Ichiko with one of the same kind as Keita's so Ichiko also gains a power boost from her emotions.
• Minor Living Alone: After she fires Suwano at the start of the series, Ichiko must live alone in her apartment. Unsurprisingly, being completely reliant on Suwano her entire life left her unprepared for it. She requires room service to clean her place, doesn't know how to do simple chores like washing dishes and only eats convenience store food because her cooking is deadly.
• Ms. Fanservice: Ichiko has the biggest breasts in the main cast and the series always takes the chance to show her naked.
• Naked First Impression: Ayame and Botan first meet Ichiko when they sneak into her taking a bath. Since in both occasions it was a girl peeping at her, Ichiko was only mildly annoyed.
• Narcissist: At the beginning, the only person in the world that matters is Ichiko herself and maybe Suwano. After all, nobody is as perfect and wonderful as Ichiko.
• Never Be Hurt Again: Back in grade school, she had a False Friend who manipulated her and stole her crush away by badmouthing her in front of him. Ichiko refuses to trust anyone because she's terrified of being hurt like that again. This starts changing after Ranmaru swears to never betray her and Ichiko accepts her as her first true friend.
• Noblewoman's Laugh: Whenever she is extremely happy and/or full of herself, or whenever she tries to shrug off her latest act of kindness or conceal her insecurities.
• No Social Skills: You'd expect a beautiful and popular girl like Ichiko to be a social butterfly... but she is so ill at ease interacting with happy people that she would rather waste time at home literally counting the number of straws woven into her tatami mat.
• Ojou: She was born into a family that quickly became incredibly wealthy and lives at a penthouse with her personal butler. The tradeoff was that her parents were never around.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When she's actually nice to Momiji and admits that she appreciates her after Botan's arc, Momiji just stares at her in shock, unable to come up with a stupid joke.
• Pals with Jesus: She and Momiji are quite close in their own vitriolic way, which is actually considered remarkable in universe. It's actually considered more remarkable on Momiji's part than Ichiko's and puts her in line for a promotion when Yamabuki feels like retiring in a century or so. Humans and gods have a tough time interacting due to vastly different life spans and the divine perception that humans are largely selfish jerks.
• Parody Sue: She is quite literally overly perfect. That is the premise of the story: Her perfection is the result of her being so ridiculously, incredible fortunate in her existence that it's actually destroying the balance of fortune in the world and making people around her suffer by coming into contact with her. However, when the story calms down a little it's quickly revealed that she's almost entirely isolated. While it seems at first that this is because she's a jerkass without equal, but it's actually always been that way. Bonds and empathy come from flaws and misfortune, not perfection.
• Perverted Drooling: After Keita confesses his love to her, she keeps drooling for a long while after her departure, while she keeps saying that she can't wait to come back to him.
• Plucky Girl: Once she sets her mind on something, she will never give up.
• Puppy Love: In elementary school, she had a crush on a boy named Yuusuke who clearly reciprocated. Unfortunately, Ichiko's so-called friend Kurumi also had a crush on Yuusuke and when he rejected her in favor of Ichiko, Kurumi told him spiteful lies about Ichiko so he would date her instead.
• Reincarnation: She's the reincarnation of a girl named Kanna who died centuries ago. Their attitudes, hair colors and styles are different, but otherwise they look similar enough that those who knew Kanna can tell exactly who Ichiko is.
• Rich Bitch: She's rude, arrogant, haughty and condescending to people without money like Keita. Unlike a lot of her annoying-clown-act^note She often acts like an annoying clown to divert attention from things she doesn't want to talk about, an act that she gets away with basically every time because she already is an annoying clown., this part of her character does seem to have been largely genuine at the start, though she does grow out of it.
• Say It with Hearts: While fighting with Momiji she accidentally throws her out a window and runs to the balcony looking concerned. Her "Did I go too far?" is slightly marred by the big happy heart at the end, however.
• School Idol: Ichiko has always been the most popular girl at her school, coming complete with an adoring fan club of male students who worship her.
• Shoo the Dog: In the first chapter/episode, Ichiko fires her butler Suwano despite him being the only person she loves and trusts because her good luck could be threat to his life once again. They stay in contact through letters, though.
• Shower of Angst: In Chapter 60, Ichiko gets in a Troubled Fetal Position while taking a shower after Momiji apparently abandons her while claiming their friendship was a lie.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She has felt attracted to Nice Guys since she was a child. Back in elementary school, she had a crush on one of her admirers who helped her a lot, although he still chose to believe a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing before Ichiko. In the present, she develops a crush on the kindhearted, hardworking and humble Keita.
• Smitten Teenage Girl: She's crushing hard on Keita, often becoming bashful around him. Getting a Love Confession from him gets her so fired up that she runs all the way across town with a lot of saliva coming out of her mouth.
• So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Ever since she was a child, Ichiko was extremely popular at school for being so much prettier than the other girls. This is one of the main causes of her isolation. The boys worship her like an idol without ever bothering to really know her and the girls ostracize her out of petty jealousy over how the guys ignore them in favor of Ichiko.
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: She's quite a massive Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who thinks of nothing but herself. Behind that, however, lies a sad, broken little girl who just yearns for the loving care of her parents, whom she hadn't seen since infancy, not to mention the fact that she is still being haunted by the betrayal by a girl she once thought was her friend. All that trauma ultimately turned her into the Alpha Bitch she has become when the series started. It came to the point that even her Sitcom Arch-Nemesis, resident Jerkass Goddess Momiji, slowly started to mellow out to her and even become her Trickster Mentor, helping her reconnect with humanity and bring back the kindness she used to have.
• Straight Man: While Momiji is extremely goofy and obnoxious, Ichiko attempts to keep her under control and out of her apartment to no avail.
• Super-Strength: Can lift clubs, iron hammers, her own bathtub, you name it.
• They Died Because of You: Downplayed. When Ichiko starts blaming Momiji for Suwano collapsing, Momiji flatly says that it's her own fault. This is exactly what she warned her would happen the previous day.
• Tomboyish Voice: Ichiko's voice becomes practically masculine when she gets mad.
• Took a Level in Badass: As time goes on and she comes into contact with more deities, she actually ends up learning to use her fortune energy to translate to fighting powers.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: She goes from a girl who hides her sadness and bitterness behind a mean façade to a cheerful and happy girl who's always smiling with the childlike innocence she once had.
• Took a Level in Idealism: At the start of the series, a childhood betrayal had caused Ichiko to act like a self-serving and contemptuous Rich Bitch who only looks out for herself. Gradually, she starts using her fortune energy to help other people and realizes that true happiness is found by sharing it with others. By the final arc, Ichiko has become an idealistic and selfless girl who wants to make everyone around her happy.
• Took a Level in Kindness: She goes from a horribly selfish person to a caring girl with lots of friends and empathy for people.
• Touched by Vorlons: Her massive fortune energy and ability to absorb it unconsciously was given by Ikari a long time ago, who infiltrated the Sakura household as a servant.
• Town Girls: The Neither. Ichiko has a girlier style and behavior than Ranmaru, but isn't anywhere near as refined and ladylike as Nadeshiko.
• Tranquil Fury: Sure, Ichiko may scream and yell like a five-year-old with ADD when her anger is Played for Laughs, but when she is seething with quiet, articulate and calm anger (such as witnessing Genjurou forcing Ranmaru to become a boy) you know she means business.
• Trash of the Titans: Without Suwano, she needs to ask the room service of her building to clean her apartment every few days because she keeps making a mess out of it.
• Tsundere: Harsh type. She acts all haughty, abrasive, domineering and is prone to comedic violence in a desperate effort to conceal how extremely soft and sensitive she really is. Suwano is initially the only one who gets to see her kinder side, but she eventually opens up to Keita, Ranmaru and even Momiji.
• Two First Names: Her family name Sakura is a fairly common Japanese female name.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: She has an ongoing attraction with Keita, but since neither of them wants to take the initiative, Momiji creates the situations for them to get more intimate.
• Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: She's callous, rude, selfish and thoughtless, so it would be amusing to see her suffer. Alas, her good energy tends to bring misfortune to people around her instead.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Momiji warns that her constant good fortune, taken by unconsciously absorbing those of others around her, will inevitably bring harm to them. This trope hits Ichiko close to home when her lifelong butler nearly died of a heart attack.
• Uptown Girl: Ichiko is a rich girl and her love interest is a guy from a poor family who has to take part-time jobs to support his siblings.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: In elementary school, she was a nice and innocent Lonely Rich Kid who got taken advantage of by the only female classmate who pretended to like her. After being betrayed and hurt, she hides her loneliness behind a mean and selfish facade, but still wants someone to see past it.
• Victoria's Secret Compartment: After temporarily turning into a Giant Woman thanks to absorbing Ikari's energy, Ichiko places Keita between her enormous breasts "for his safety", to his utter embarrassment.
• Was It All a Lie?: When Ikari is systematically wiping out the gods in the city, Ichiko comes into conflict with Momiji, who intends to sacrifice herself to stop Ikari. When Ichiko tries to get in the way she asks if everything Momiji has down to help her was a lie and instantly gets a 'Yes, totally.' While an astute reader would know that this doesn't make sense, Ichiko has been having a very bad day by that point. Turns out Momiji was telling Ichiko to think the opposite of what she said.
• Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: Her weapon is the Soumin Shourai, an enchanted bokken given to her by Bobby, with which she can channel her good fortune energy by way of summoning Moe Anthropomorphisms of the Eastern Zodiac.
• Wrestler in All of Us: She can pull off various submission moves.

Momiji Binbouda

Voiced by: Yumi Uchiyama (Japanese), Colleen Clinkenbeard (English)

A deity of misfortune sent to the human world to take away Ichiko's excess good karma before she unwittingly causes more havoc. She wields a giant hypodermic needle and also likes to dress herself up in different costumes.

---

• The Ace: When she undergoes a radical personality change caused by taking a bath, Momiji becomes ridiculously good at every subject in Ichiko's school and amazes all her classmates with her impeccable skills.
• A-Cup Angst: Her small cup size is a point of constant irritation.
• The Almighty Dollar: Inverted, since she's a deity of poverty and misfortune and is Born Unlucky as a result.
• Badass in Distress: The first part of the final arc is about Ichiko coming to Momiji's rescue at the world of misfortune gods because Momiji was intended to be sacrificed to eliminate the second half of Ikari's soul.
• Barefoot Poverty: Played with. As the god of poverty, Momiji assumes a vagabond look with only one shoe, the left, leaving the other foot bare (save indoors, when she respectfully wears no shoes at all). In any other outfit besides her default, she wears two shoes.
• Berserk Button:
  • Making fun of her flat chest ticks her off, especially when the insult comes from the buxom Ichiko.
  • Ichiko acting like a Damsel in Distress really sets her off.
• Born Unlucky: Like Ichiko, her level of energy is off the charts. However, unlike Ichiko, it's misfortune energy and as a result she's flat chested, dirty, lazy, unpopular and just has rather poor luck all around. Despite having better use of her abilities than Ichiko, there's little point in a direct confrontation when the universe bends over backward for your opponent.
• Break Her Heart to Save Her: Subverted. Momiji sets one of these up to fool Chisha, but she was actually passing along a message to Ichiko that took her a little while to figure out, after which she springs into action.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: Despite appearances, Momiji is actually a powerful and competent goddess. If she bothers to try.
• Brought Down to Normal: After being forced to take a bath, Momiji temporarily loses her power as a goddess of poverty and becomes basically the same as a normal human. She recovers her powers when she gets thrown into the garbage, but if she were to stay clean for an extended period of time, she'll lose her powers forever.
• But for Me, It Was Tuesday: In a superpowered tennis match, Momiji traumatized Ichiko's partner Shion. When they meet again, Momiji has completely forgotten about him and has no idea of why he's terrified of her.
• But Now I Must Go: When her job with Ichiko is complete, she returns to the divine realm.
• Bystander Syndrome: So well-known is she among her fellow deities for her constant apathy that even Yamabuki is surprised that Momiji is taking her grudge against Ichiko a little bit too seriously.
• Character Development: More or less implied to be the reason the other misfortune gods don't replace Momiji despite her failure to get Ichiko's energy. They all think it's a good thing that the normally lazy and apathetic goddess is finally taking her job seriously.
• Childhood Friends: She was been friends with Momo'o, Kuroyuri, Ayame, Kaede and Anzu since she was a child.
• Closet Sublet: At the end of the Botan arc, Ichiko gives Momiji permission to move into her closet so she doesn't have to spend the night under a bridge anymore. Ichiko directly compares Momiji to Doraemon for it.
• Confusion Fu: She almost never fights seriously, making her fights more of a spectacle and an irritation for anyone that she's up against, who don't really know what to do and can't react properly. When actually trying she's pretty damn dangerous though and cuts out all the jokes.
• Cosplay Otaku Girl: Takes every opportunity to dress up as characters within the series well as from other manga and anime.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: During the Ikari arc she intends to go back to the world of the gods to sacrifice herself. Before leaving, she enters a fight completely seriously for perhaps the first time in the entire manga and absolutely flattens Ichiko.
• Curtains Match the Window: She has golden hair and golden eyes.
• Declaration of Protection: In the Botan arc, Momiji makes a proclamation that she will protect Ichiko as her partner.
• Deuteragonist: The main plot is Ichiko's Character Development into a kind person willing to help others, with the one who instigates that being Momiji as she tries to lower Ichiko's high fortune energy. Momiji tends to spark a lot of the conflicts of the story, though she's frequently necessary when it comes to their resolution as well.
• Disabled Deity: She has an arm cast on her right arm. However, her arm is perfectly fine; the cast is actually a Power Limiter for her misfortune.
• Everyone Has Standards: Though she's not above taking drastic measures to accomplish her mission, such as outright threatening to kill Ichiko, she actually is averse to murder, or at least letting someone die on her watch, because that would instantly jeopardize her presence in the human realm.
• Fake Boobs: She'll occasionally decide to stuff her shirt with something like melon bread or actual melons to fake having cleavage, though she doesn't bother to button up.
• The Fake Cutie: She acts super cutesy sometimes in contrast to her lazy, selfish personality, just because it will annoy people.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: In her default outfit, she only wears one shoe.
• Friendship Moment: Momiji is an odd one, so she often pretends her moments of concern over Ichiko are just more incidences of screwing with her like normal. However, no matter what she says to the contrary, she is consistently concerned for Ichiko's well-being and will quickly come to her defense. Even when she's finally honest that she actually does care about Ichiko's well-being as more than just her job, it's stated in reverse in order in trick an observer.
• The Gadfly: She likes screwing with people for shits and giggles, especially Ichiko.
• Get a Hold of Yourself, Woman!: She often does this to Ichiko in the moments where she's feeling troubled or hesitating.
• Giant Medical Syringe: She wields giant hypodermic needles attached to the massive bandages covering her right arm.
• Girlish Pigtails: She's rather immature for someone over a century old and gets long, ratty twin tails to show it.
• Good is Not Nice: She means well, in her own lazy and selfish way, but a lot of the time she's just screwing around and messing people. Also, the way she helps out is often unnecessarily humiliating.
• Guile Heroine: Her penchant for the Zany Scheme aside, when faced with a serious threat, Momiji is usually the one with an unconventional plan to defeat their adversary.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: After she's forced to take a bath, she fits the trope to T. Depowered Momiji is practically a saint who is kind to everyone and tries to befriend Ichiko. It doesn't last long as she returns to being a Jerkass God after she gets dirty.
• Hate at First Sight: She instantly hates Ichiko after just taking a look at her photo, mainly because Ichiko's oversized breasts anger her.
• Hates Baths: Justified. She doesn't like washing herself because it causes her to lose her powers and undergo an extreme personality change.
• Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Her right eye is always hidden by her bangs, reflecting her detached and slothful personality. She's also hiding her eye because her pupil has a second seal for misfortune energy.
• Hot Goddess: Not quickly apparent, owing to her usual getup, but when she does tidy up, she's quite the stunner.
• Immortal Immaturity: Zigzagged. She's hundreds of years old, but her personality is generally very goofy and not that mature compared to the teenage Ichiko. However, she proves that she can be a wise guide and advisor to Ichiko over the course of the series.
• Inhuman Eye Concealers: Her hair bangs hide a second seal for her Misfortune energy placed on her right eye.
• It Amused Me: Freely gives this as the reason she makes Ichiko and Tanpopo dress as Magical Girls during their fight. Ichiko is NOT pleased.
• It's Personal: How she eventually comes to see her rivalry with Ichiko.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite the crude bum that she is, Momiji's heart is in the right place. Even before any Character Development sits in, she's one of the only gods to have any faith in human decency. What's more, she even believes that Ichiko of all people will do the right thing.
• Kawaiiko: Her "Gadget of Misfortune" narrator form, in which she takes a smaller form and speaks in a cutesy tone.
• The Lad-ette: She picks her nose, is extremely unladylike and has a crude sense of humor.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: Not as much as Ichiko but damn does her mouth need a gargle of strong disinfectants.
• Large Ham: Everything about her is over-the-top, just like Ichiko if not more.
• Lazy Bum: Everything is just too much effort to her. She actually starts weirding out her colleagues when she starts dropping this attitude.
• Loser Deity: Being the goddess of poverty and misfortune this is a given. She's a Disabled Deity with only one good hand to use, not so pretty, having A-Cup Angst (an advantage Ichiko exploits well to bother her) and, as the goddess of poverty she is, Momiji usually sleeps under a river like a hobo.
• Magical Homeless Person: As the goddess of poverty, she comes to Earth as a hobo, having dirty and torn clothes, eating from garbage and sleeping under a bridge. Eventually subverted when Ichiko invites her to live at her apartment.
• Messy Hair: From the looks of her hair, she probably has never used a comb in her life. Since misfortune gods keep their powers by never cleaning up, it makes sense.
• Mundane Utility: Uses her cursed arm to cause a storm to force Ichiko to stay at Keita's when he's sick.
• New Transfer Student: As of Chapter/Episode 2, she "transfers" into Taion High to keep an eye on Ichiko.
• Nice Girl: If forced to wash, she becomes ridiculously perfect, diligent and nice. It weirds Ichiko out and even Bobby thinks it would be wrong to do anything bad to her.
• The Not-Love Interest: Momiji becomes the most influential person in Ichiko's life, significantly improving the latter's personality by helping her overcome her personal problems. Them going from rivals to close friends who repeatedly save each other is a central development in the plot. This is lampshaded when the characters joke about how the readers tend to mistake the manga for a Yuri Genre despite Ichiko having a male love interest.
• Older Than She Looks: Gods don't seem to be quite immortal since they clearly age, but Momiji is still well over a century old while still the equivalent of about a fifteen or sixteen-year-old. According to the author, this makes it okay for her to drink alcohol.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: She eventually assumes this sort of attitude towards Ichiko. Momiji doesn't want any other misfortune god to steal Ichiko's good luck energy.
• Parody Sue: If her body is washed, Momiji turns into a ridiculously perfect saintlike Purity Sue parody. Even Bobby can't bring himself to do perverted things to her.
• Pet the Dog: As time passes, she begins to sympathize with Ichiko, and sometimes she helps her by extracting some of her fortune so she can use them by breaking the flasks.
• Physical Goddess: Gods reside in another world entirely made of an entirely different type of material. Manifesting in the human world requires her to possess an effigy of sorts, but once there she apparently has full access to her abilities. In a manner of speaking, anyway, since divine abilities not exactly easy to use directly. All in all, she's a pretty unimpressive goddess.
• The Pig-Pen: She never bathes, so apparently, she smells quite badly and in universe looks unattractive entirely because she of the accumulated filth.
• Plucky Girl: Nothing's going to deter her from her mission of extracting Ichiko's fortune (and then some more), to the point where she outright disobeys Yamabuki, especially if her nuanced advice runs counter to her irrational, increasingly personal grudge against her.
• Pop-Cultured Badass: The biggest example in the series. Momiji does a cosplay and/or a Shout-Out at least Once per Episode all while she's constantly fighting Ichiko to steal her fortune energy.
• Power Tattoo: Her right arm is riddled with curses, explaining why it is heavily wrapped in bandages. Anyone she touches with her cursed hand is jinxed beyond wit.
• Rummage Sale Reject: Her clothing is dirty and frayed, she wears a ragged 'misfortune' hat and doesn't even wear both shoes.
• Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: She contains Ikari's soul, and thus half his power.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: Provided that she actually bothers to bathe, she turns out to be quite beautiful. The personality flip doesn't hurt either.
• Shipper on Deck: She actively pushes Ichiko and Keita together. She likes putting them in embarrassing situations for her own amusement, but she also wants Keita to keep Ichiko from getting lonely, as she knows she can't keep watching over her forever.
• Shipper with an Agenda: In one of the early manga chapters, she tries to help a guy hook up with Ichiko so the latter gains a new weakness Momiji can take advantage of. The plan fails because the guy is a Serial Romeo who gives up on Ichiko after Ichiko rescues him from a fight.
• Shoo the Dog: Goes to extreme lengths in alienating Ichiko, who does not want Momiji to sacrifice herself for the sake of defeating Ikari. Subverted, as it turns out she wanted Ichiko to help her.
• Signature Headgear: She always wears a hitaikakushi with the kanji for "Misfortune" written on it. The first time Keita points it out as something weird, Momiji goes into shock over someone finally noticing it.
• The Slacker: Her boss often finds her fooling around instead of doing her job to take away Ichiko's fortune energy seriously.
• So Proud of You: In her final conversation with Ichiko, Momiji expresses how proud she is of Ichiko's Character Development into a better, happier person, calling the current Ichiko her pride and proof of her existence.
• Soul Fragment: Centuries ago, Ichou used the karma rake to extract a piece of Ikari's soul and hid it away. Eventually, the stolen fragment of Ikari's soul became Momiji.
• Split-Personality Switch Trigger: When Momiji gets forcibly washed at the public bath, her personality makes a radical change from a rude, lazy and boorish Jerk with a Heart of Gold into a saintly, diligent and feminine Nice Girl. She goes back to normal when she gets thrown into the trash, but there's a time limit before the change becomes permanent.
• Stumbling in the New Form: Momijo once uses a Misfortune God item to swap bodies with Ichiko, but she regrets it as soon as she discovers she can't handle walking around with Ichiko's huge rack because the added weight up front is too much for someone whose real body is completely flat-chested.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: A deity with golden eyes.
• Supreme Chef: She's actually very good at cooking. She challenges Ichiko to a cooking contest, but Ichiko's good fortune and cooking skills team up in order to... poison the judge, invalidating the contest. Woops.
• Thanatos Gambit: Allows Ikari to kill her so that she could rescue the fallen gods in Yomi, the land of the dead, and bring them in as reinforcements.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: Even if she occasionally takes drastic measures in extracting Ichiko's fortune, Momiji won't ever resort to murder nor let someone die on her watch.
• Tomboyish Voice: She's the crudest girl in the cast, with a raspy voice that suits her.
• Transfer Student Uniforms: After transferring to Ichiko's class, she wears a different school uniform from the other students. Ichiko questions why no one else thinks it's weird.
• Trickster Mentor: As Momiji becomes more sympathetic to Ichiko, she starts acting more and more like this. Her schemes tend to revolve around getting Ichiko to connect with others so that she's not as lonely and has people she cares about. Eventually this leads to Ichiko expending fortune energy on their behalf to save them from the side effects of her ability. Eventually Ichiko accepts a pendant through a Zany Scheme that will nullify her power to steal the good fortune of other people.
• Unkempt Beauty: Given that she's considered unattractive for things that rarely show up well in printed form if at all (dirt and smell), she ends up still being fairly cute.
• Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: She's lazy, rude, vulgar, fond of teasing and rather indifferent to people's struggles, but unlike Ichiko she's basically the opposite of good luck and is much more likely to pay for it.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: In Episode 2, Yamabuki warns her that her prolonged stay at Butsume City could, like Ichiko, adversely affect the balance of the city's positive and negative energies.
• Voice Changeling: She tricked Ichiko by perfectly imitating Ranmaru's voice once.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can transform into either an intangible Waddling Head or a large Undeathly Pallor form.
• Weaksauce Weakness: If you clean a misfortune god that has come to the human world, it will warp their personality. Well, that's not so bad. Turns Momiji into an extroverted Nice Girl. However, it also causes them to lose all their powers. Without those powers, they'll simply turn into a human and, after a week, be unable to return to normal. They could thus be considered dead.
• We Want Our Jerk Back!: Played with. Being washed turns Momiji super nice and rids her of her divine powers. Ichiko is initially uncomfortable with the nice version of Momiji, but even after she realizes that it's not an act, she still feels that something is missing. While she does grow to like the nice Momiji, she helps her return to her normal self after she finds out Momiji will actually die if the change becomes permanent. After Momiji goes back to normal, turns out Ichiko really does like her better when they're always fighting.
• What the Hell, Hero?: She's pretty pissed when she sees Ichiko passively allowing others to help her instead of trying to escape or fight back on her own.

Human World

Keita Tsuwabuki

Voiced by: Kōki Uchiyama (Japanese), Clifford Chapin (English)

Ichiko's next-seat classmate and a heavy sleeper, owing to taking on multiple part-time jobs in order to raise his four younger siblings ever since their parents abandoned them to a staggering debt.

---

• Accidental Pervert:
  • He sees Ichiko naked after the bathhouse's dividing wall is destroyed by Ranmaru. Ichiko brings that up a couple of times.
  • In the battle against Tanpopo, he tries to catch Ichiko in the middle of a freefall. He ends up unintentionally shoving his face between her breasts.
• Amazon Chaser: He thinks Ichiko looked awesome when fighting against Tanpopo. This is the first time he shows attraction to her.
• Amnesiac Lover: At the start of the final arc, Ikari erases Ichiko from Keita's memory out of jealousy of their budding romance. As soon as he forces himself to remember, Keita confesses his love for Ichiko and they become a couple.
• Asleep in Class: His multiple jobs leave him exhausted, so he often falls asleep in class.
• Badass Longcoat:
  • By putting on a magical Martial Arts Headband, Keita gets a Super Mode that has him wearing a white gakuran uniform with a long coat.
  • At the climax of the final arc, he also wears a cool long black coat.
• Batman Gambit: He thanks Tanpopo, the same goddess who nearly killed his toddler brother, for helping him and his siblings remember the importance of family. This confused Tanpopo long enough for Momiji to pull off a Big Damn Heroes.
• Battle Couple: He and Ichiko fight Ikari together in the Final Battle and professing their feelings for each other boosts their physical strength thanks to the Misfortune God Item they're using.
• Big Brother Instinct: His defining character trait. He overworks himself to the point of exhaustion in order to take care of his four younger siblings and he's very protective of them.
• Captain Obvious: He has to be one at one point. Thirty some chapters into the manga he finally puts out that Momiji has a stupid 'Misfortune' headband on. Not one other person has commented on it the entire time Momiji has been here. His amazing and unparalleled deductive prowess then cues him into the idea that Tanpopo with her big stupid 'Fortune' headband is probably related to her somehow.
• Chekhov's Skill: His earlier mentioned skill for soccer makes him very useful in the fight against Tanpopo to save Ichiko thanks to Bobby's superhuman-granting abilities beads and Keita's spectacular aiming.
• Clueless Chick-Magnet: Thanks to Nadeshiko chasing all girls up until Ichiko and Ranmaru away from him, he's never really gotten used to interacting with girls on an intimate level and can be pretty dense.
• The Comically Serious: Tends to join in on the gang's antics with while keeping a straight face, such as imitating Ichiko and Momiji's Kenshiro-face and, of all things, selling beer on the school gymnasium during the Ichiko-Ranmaru duel.
  Classmate A: "Won't you get in trouble selling beer in school?"
  Classmate B: "Let it slide. Even the teachers are buying."
• Emotional Powers: The Martial Arts Headband he gets from Momiji increases his physical capacities depending on his emotional state. When he's happy or motivated, he gets Super-Speed and Super-Toughness. The downside is that if he's upset or shocked, his amplified emotional reactions will knock him down.
• Even the Guys Want Him: While Sekienmaru has always admired Keita as a man, he does seem to drool just as much as Rika when they recalled the latter man dressing as a butler for the Autumn School Festival.
• Family Man: He's completely dedicated to maintaining his four younger siblings after their parents abandoned them.
• I Know Madden Kombat: His soccer skills are surprisingly handy in combat.
• Inconsistent Coloring: Early colored illustrations depicted Keita with orange-blonde hair, but it was changed to yellow with a green tint later on. The anime adaptation uses dirty blonde hair for him.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: His memories of Ichiko are erased by Ikari at one point. Keita manages to overcome it soon afterwards.
• Last-Name Basis: Everyone calls him by his last name. In the final battle against Ikari, he and Ichiko agree to start using First-Name Basis for each other because they are now a couple.
• Martial Arts Headband: Momiji gives him one that is a Misfortune God Item that amplifies the wearer's brain tissue's neurotransmitters and gives Keita more power and speed according to how motivated he is.
• My Sister Is Off-Limits: He flies into a rage when he hears rumors about his younger sister Rika getting a boyfriend (unaware that people just mistook Sekienmaru for her boyfriend).
• Neat Freak: His reaction to seeing Ichiko's garbage dump of an apartment is demanding her to let him clean it.
• Nice Guy: He's caring, responsible and hardworking.
• Not So Above It All: He'd occasionally join in on the gang's antics. All the while keeping a straight face.
• Oblivious to Love: He's so busy raising his siblings he fails to notice Ichiko, Ranmaru and Nadeshiko's affection for him.
• Only Sane Man: His depressingly down-to-earth character/story arc seems more fitting for a drama than a zany Gag Series.
• No Shirt, Long Jacket: His Super Mode after he's temporarily transformed into a god in the final volume has him shirtless, but wearing an open Badass Longcoat.
• Promotion to Parent: His parents abandoned his family with a huge debt in order to "search for Atlantis." With no source of income, Keita works constantly at part-time jobs while going to school in order to support his younger siblings.
• Properly Paranoid: When Tanpopo arrives and uses the Scream Owl to bring him immediate good fortune, he's uneasy because it's too much fortune at once. He's exactly right and if Ichiko had been paying attention she'd have realized that his concerns were dead on: In this series, fortune and misfortune are balanced and that's exactly how the Scream Owl works. The resulting misfortune nearly kills Sorata and ruins his family until they go back to being poor.
• Satellite Love Interest: Downplayed. Keita is well-characterized and memorable on his own thanks to his hard-working personality, Big Brother Instinct, and Not So Above It All moments. It's just that his role in the story is primarily centered around being Ichiko's love interest.
• Serious Business: Earning money for his siblings. Where there's an opportunity, he'd be there vending stuff.
• She Is Not My Girlfriend: When he reluctantly visits Suwano alongside Ichiko with only Sorata as company, Keita has to make himself clear that he and Ichiko are not in a relationship to avoid the wrath of Suwano and many other local young males.
• The Stoic: He bears life's misery with a brave dignity, and this is how he (unconsciously) makes girls fall for him.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: He's a nice and caring guy, but he's also cool-headed and focused on working for the sake of his younger siblings most of the time.
• Triple Shifter: While he's still a high school student, he works multiple part-time jobs to support himself and his four younger siblings because their parents abandoned them. He spends most of his time in class sleeping since he has no real chance to take a break outside school hours.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: He and Ichiko are frequently blushing around each other or being forced into compromising situations by Momiji, like taking a bath together. Neither of them gathers the courage to act on their feelings until near the end of the series.
• Unwanted Harem: Ichiko, Ranmaru, and Nadeshiko all want him.
• Wistful Amnesia: At the beginning of the final arc, Ikari erases Ichiko from Keita's memories. It doesn't take long before Keita notices something very important is missing from his memories, especially when a lot of it doesn't make sense without Ichiko.

Kikunoshin Suwano

Voiced by: Hiroshi Naka (Japanese), Kent Williams (English)

Ichiko's long-time butler, who raised her for most, if not all, of her childhood.

---

• Battle Butler: Flashbacks imply that he used to be a combat-capable man, by way of teaching some of his skills to Ichiko. Later, in one of his letters to Ichiko, he says that he, at his wife's suggestion, has also taken up martial arts.
• Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: A surrogate example. When asked what he would do if Ichiko got herself a boyfriend, he calmly replies "Kill him". When Ichiko goes to visit him with Keita, Suwano immediately treats the guy like his worst enemy, especially after Ichiko mentions the Accidental Pervert incidents that happened between them.
• December–December Romance: He meets his second wife Sumire immediately after Ichiko forces him to retire and they make a happy elderly couple.
• Dirty Old Man: He shows shades of this, such as commenting on Momiji's cosplay tendencies and Ichiko's breasts.
• Fourth-Date Marriage: After Ichiko pushes him to go into retirement, Suwano finds himself a new wife in less than a week afterwards.
• Happily Married: After retiring, he gets married to a woman named Sumire, who loves him dearly.
• Hired Help as Family: He worked as Ichiko's butler since she was a baby, and both think of each other as family. Since Ichiko hasn't really seen her parents since childhood, she considers Suwano is more of a parent to her than her biological parents.
• Love at First Punch: He first meets Sumire during a sparring session for martial arts and marries her a few days later.
• Morality Pet: Seeing how much Ichiko cares about Suwano convinces Momiji and Momo'o that Ichiko is not a bad person deep down.
• Parental Substitute: Since Ichiko's parents have been absent for almost her entire life, Suwano was responsible for raising her pretty much on his own.
• Put on a Bus: As early as the first episode/chapter alone, Ichiko "fires" him (in order to keep him from losing more positive energy any more than he already did, while using his "incompetence" of late and a heart attack as a legitimate pretext), then encourages him to take a well-deserved rest at the countryside, although on occasion he'd still write to his former mistress.
• Walking the Earth: He travels the world with his new wife, as his postcards to Ichiko indicate, then settles down in the countryside.
• What the Hell, Hero?: When Ichiko visits him, she can only bring Keita along since everyone else is busy. Suwano picks a fight with him and nearly ruins the trip altogether, nearly causing an upset Ichiko to leave until he apologizes properly and cools down.

Ranmaru Rindou

Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu (Japanese), Martha Harms (English)

A pink-haired girl, with masculine delinquent look and tendencies. After a brief animosity involving Ichiko exploiting her looks to help herself escape from being accused of petty theft, she becomes Ichiko's best friend.

• Badass Adorable: She's strong, hardass, and a total mess when it comes to romance or girly things.
• Badass Longcoat: She wears a blue longcoat as part of her delinquent attire.
• Badass Normal: Ranmaru is a normal person without high fortune or misfortune energy, yet she can fight supernatural beings like the Tsukumogami Suzuhikohime on her own and win.
• Bait-and-Switch Sentiment: When Akane finally confesses her love for her, Ranmaru smiles warmly, making Akane think she has accepted her feelings. The next day, turns out Ranmaru thought Akane wants to become strong like her and makes her join her dojo.
• Bash Siblings: She teams up with Momo'o during their fights in the final battle.
• Because You Were Nice to Me:
  • She decides to befriend Ichiko after the latter stands up against Ranmaru's father for forcing his daughter to be like a boy without ever taking her feelings into account.
  • She develops a crush on Keita when he helps her get up after losing her match against Ichiko.
• Berserk Button: Being raised on traditional values, nothing enrages Ranmaru more than liars, oath-breakers and backstabbing "friends".
• Best Her to Bed Her: In the final chapter, Ranmaru has the guys of her high school challenging her to a fight every day because she won't date a man who can't beat her.
• Born in the Wrong Century: Exactly the opinion Ichiko initially gave of her.
• Boyish Short Hair: A butch martial artist with short hair.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: The Training from Hell her father put her through from a young age is apparently enough to give her superhuman strength and stamina that lets her support a collapsing building on her own for several minutes and survive crashing into concrete after being thrown off from Ichiko's penthouse apartment.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: When Momo'o goes into his Sadist "Heat Mode" on Natsume, Ranmaru steps on his face and threatens that if he ever plays BDSM games with any other girl, she won't ever punish him again.
• Closet Key: Akane realizes she's a lesbian after falling hard for Ranmaru.
• Combat Pragmatist: In her fight against Suzuhikohime, Ranmaru puts on a French Maid Outfit in order to distract her perverted opponent enough to give her the Megaton Punch that finishes her off.
• Commissar Cap: She wears a blue soldier cap to add up to her old-fashioned delinquent outfit.
• Contralto of Strength: Haruka Tomatsu and Martha Harms gives Ranmaru a deep voice to fit her hardass delinquent character.
• Daddy's Girl: The only reason she still sticks around with her father even after everything he had her do is because he is her only parent left.
• Dismotivation: After Ichiko confronts her Abusive Dad, he gives Ranmaru permission to dress and act like a woman. In the end, though, she realizes that she's grown comfortable with her butch delinquent getup and chooses to stay the same. The epilogue of the manga does show her wearing the girls' uniform, so she does eventually become more obviously feminine.
• Dreadful Musician: Ranmaru's singing is so terrible that it makes Momiji's ears bleed.
• Dude Magnet: In the epilogue, Ranmaru is now super popular with the guys at her high school and gets love confessions regularly.
• Eating the Eye Candy: She ogles at Keita's naked chest while admiring his muscles in the Public Bathhouse Scene.
• Even the Girls Want Her: She becomes just as popular with the female students as Ichiko is with the male population.
• Expy: A somewhat less extreme version of Ryuunosuke from Urusei Yatsura, another karate girl whose life and world view were influenced by a masculine upbringing from a single father, right down to her use of "ore" when referring to herself. On the other hand, her clothes are more of a reference to Jotaro Kujo.
• Fetishized Abuser: Invoked. The extreme masochist Momo'o finds her hot because her punches and kicks cause him so much pain. Although Ranmaru isn't into Momo's S&M fetish, she abuses him to bring out his Canis Major form in battle.
• Fire-Forged Friends: How her relationship with Ichiko developed. After a rough start, Ichiko helped Ranmaru get in touch with her feminine side. Ranmaru in turn helped Ichiko learn to trust people again. This exchange of acts of kindness helped make them best friends.
• First Friend: She's the first person Ichiko can call a true friend; before Ranmaru, Ichiko only had a False Friend who stole her elementary crush away.
• Foil: Ranmaru is this to Ichiko; all the girls in the class love her while all the guys are either intimidated by her or aggressive because they think she bullies Ichiko.
• Girliness Upgrade: At the end of the manga, Ranmaru switches her old-fashioned gakuran for a female school uniform.
• Girly Bruiser: In the epilogue, Ranmaru is now much more feminine and wears the girls' school uniform. She's still the same badass karate fighter, as seen when she beats the guys who want to date her every morning.
• Handy Feet: She has a tendency to catch knives with her bare feet.
• Heir to the Dojo: At least, whatever is left of the family dojo after it shuts down for financial reasons.
• Honor Thy Abuser: Ranmaru's father was extremely harsh with her, putting her through Training from Hell daily and denying her the freedom to act like her gender because he wanted a manly heir for his dojo. When Ichiko and Momiji doll Ranmaru up, her father is so furious that he beats her up and rips her girly clothes in front of her. Ichiko is so outraged by this that she fights Ranmaru's father to get back at him for how badly he has treated his daughter. However, Ranmaru stops Ichiko and defends her father because no matter the way he is, he's her only family and she loves him.
• Hopeless Suitor: Near the end of the manga, Ranmaru is fully aware that she won't get Keita, but she thinks losing him to Ichiko isn't bad.
• Hot-Blooded: She's one of the most passionate characters around.
• Humanizing Tears: Even a hardass chick like her needs to vent out her frustrations every now and then, and it happens in two occasions — after reeling in horror over how she apparently broke her vow of loyalty to Ichiko while under Shaga's influence, and at the ending, when she admits to Ichiko that she will miss Momo'o.
• Implied Love Interest: Momo'o seems attracted to her, although that's mostly because he would love being beaten up by her. Ranmaru and Momo'o become good friends who train and fight together in the last parts of the manga, but no romance is made official because Momo'o needs to leave the human world with Momiji at the end.
• It Was a Gift: In the epilogue, Momo'o apparently gives Ranmaru his scarf before he leaves forever. She's shown wearing the scarf as a hair ribbon the last time we see her.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: She decides to give up on Keita after seeing how close he and Ichiko have become. Since Ichiko is her dear friend, she isn't upset about her getting Keita since she also wants Ichiko to be happy.
• Japanese Delinquent: She dresses like one and knows karate.
• Large Ham: She could as well be a dramatic martial arts manga protagonist.
• Made of Iron: She can survive a thirteen-floor fall off Ichiko's flat with nothing more than a little blood on her face.
• Martial Artists Are Always Barefoot: Ranmaru is a Heir to the Dojo and only feels comfortable in bare getas. Even at school, she's clad in her geta instead of Inside Shoes. She often kicks the geta off before she's about to kick ass. In fact, Ranmaru would rather just ditch the geta and be barefoot in general, as it's how she's used to sparring and she likes having free use of her toes.
• My God, What Have I Done?: She's absolutely horrified when her bond to Ichiko returns and she remembers she hit Ichiko the last two met. She's actually reduced to tears since she promised she would never ever do anything like this to Ichiko.
• New Transfer Student: She transfers into Ichiko's class.
• Nice Girl: There is not a single cruel, mean, selfish or dishonest bone in her body.
• Oblivious to Love: Akane confesses to her twice in bonus chapter 51.2, both times Ranmaru misunderstands and ends up thinking Akane just admires her for her prowess in martial arts.
• Oral Fixation: Almost always has a reed in her mouth.
• Power Makes Your Hair Grow: She grows a long ponytail after being made a god in the final battle.
• Prefers Going Barefoot: Downplayed. Ranmaru does wear sandals, but she squirms when forced to don socks and shoes, falling over in them and claiming it's easier to walk in her sandals and only putting up with them because Ichiko had forcefully taken her sandals away and made her wear more feminine footwear when buying new duds at a boutique.
• Raised as the Opposite Gender: She was raised like a boy by her father in order to succeed his karate dojo. This is lampshaded at her very introduction.
• Rose-Haired Sweetie: She has bright pink hair and is a kindhearted, supportive and loyal friend.
• Sarashi: She wears one around her chest instead of a bra to complement her delinquent look.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: If there's one thing Ichiko and Momiji can agree on, it's that Ranmaru looks smashing when all dolled up.
• Smitten Teenage Girl: She goes gaga over Keita whenever he's nearby. She once gets a nosebleed from Keita simply catching her in a Bridal Carry.
• Stripperiffic: The outfit she gets along her power-up when Ichiko and Momiji turn her into a god shows a lot of skin.
• Tomboy Angst: Her father raised her as a boy so she could inherit his dojo one day and forbade her from dressing like the girl she is. When Ichiko and Momiji try to get Ranmaru to embrace her femininity by dolling her up, her father beats her and tears her girl's clothes in front of her. After Ichiko confronts him, Ranmaru's father finally lets her be free to be feminine if she wants to.
• Tomboyish Name: Ranmaru is a very masculine Japanese name. Makes sense since her father Wanted a Son Instead.
• Tomboyish Voice: Ranmaru speaks with a very low, gruff voice that matches her masculine personality.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She knows karate and her mannerisms and speech are overly masculine. She's also happy when she gets dolled up, acts like a typical Smitten Teenage Girl around her crush and loves cute little animals.
• Town Girls: The Butch. Ranmaru is a strong martial artist who was raised as a man, which creates a contrast with her girly Ojou friends Ichiko and Nadeshiko.
• Walking Swimsuit Scene: When she temporarily turns into a god, she gets a costume with a bikini top.
• When She Smiles: Her smile is so kind and gentle that it really catches anyone off-guard.

Bobby Statice

Voiced by: Yoshihisa Kawahara (Japanese), Patrick Seitz (English)

A perverted American monk wandering the world to exterminate evil spirits or gods. He can sense Ichiko's positive energy.

---

• Butt-Monkey: Almost all his scenes have him at the receiving end of Pervert Revenge Mode.
• Buxom Beauty Standard: He's only interested in large busts and doesn't care about flat-chested girls, even if they're otherwise perfectly attractive.
• Chivalrous Pervert: When Momiji turns nice, he refuses to try groping her. Sure, she has no breasts to grope anyway, but he admits that her aura is just too pure for him to do something like that.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's sufficiently spiritually-attuned to interact with deities and spirits despite being a self-titled "Corrupted Monk", but when forced to give up his perversions via a curse that keeps him from getting near women, he actually becomes powerful enough to curbstomp deities and even cure himself. One encounter with Ichiko's bosom, however, is enough to make him return to his old ways.
• A Day in the Limelight: Chapter 24 is centered on him helping a shrine god get her shrine back after it got stolen by another spirit.
• Deus Sex Machina: After being smothered in Marshmallow Heaven, he pulls a Big Damn Heroes and forces the Sarasarasa sisters to open a gate back to Busumetsu City.
• Dirty Old Monk: He's the show's biggest pervert despite his nature as a holy man, which actually does cut into his abilities. When he manages to put worldly desires behind him briefly, he gains immense power.
• Everyone Has Standards: During the Ikari arc, Tanpopo and Momo'o (he accurately presumes) are killed in front of him while he escapes by mere virtue of being a mortal. Without asking for anything in return, he's the only one besides Ichiko that accompanies Ichiko to the misfortune god world and when asked simply points out that even he has standards.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: He often hangs out with Ichiko's group, but he's a major sex offender who sexually harasses the girls on regular basis. The only one who really likes him is his fellow pervert Momo'o.
• Funny Foreigner: He's an American in a Japanese cast and exists as the perverted comic relief who says Gratuitous English lines sometimes.
• Harem Seeker: His ultimate dream is becoming the king of his own country and get a Royal Harem.
• Hydra Problem: In his Kaiju battle with the Sara sisters, his enemy cuts him in half, but every time they do, the giant Bobby splits into smaller copies of himself. The sisters keep splitting Bobby until there's a literal army of thousands of him.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He usually refuses to help without some kind of bribe, but after he fails to save some of his god friends he becomes (halfway) serious and tags along out of a sense of apparently genuine duty.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: Played with. By Word of God, he's actually not that much of a pervert compared to a normal person, he's just incredibly immature.
• Manchild: Apparently, he approaches sexuality with the maturity of a middle school student rather than being particularly perverted.
• Momma's Boy: He keeps quoting and believing in what his mother supposedly said, such as faking broken Japanese to elicit sympathy.
  Ichiko: "I'm so gonna teach your Mama a lesson!"
• Odd Friendship: With Momo'o. He's an exorcist Buddhist monk and Momo'o is a dog god, but since both are huge perverts, they become best buddies.
• Taking the Bullet: Leaps in front of an attack launched by Natsume intended to kill Tanpopo. Unfortunately, her blade can't hurt humans passes through him harmlessly and hits Tanpopo anyway.
• Token Minority: An African-American in a Japanese setting.
• Uncle Tomfoolery: He's the only black guy in the cast and pretty much his only role is being a pervert whose sexual harassment is Played for Laughs.

Nadeshiko Adenokouji

Voiced by: Sayaka Kanda (Japanese), Michelle Lee (English)

Another rich kid in Ichiko's class, she doesn't make a major influence into the story until much later, where it's revealed that she was a girl madly in love with Keita from the shadows... "mad" as in willing to ruin any potential competition.

---

• A-Cup Angst: She's utterly unpleased with her childlike body and flat chest. Like Momiji, it irritates her both Ichiko and Ranmaru have much bigger cup sizes than her.
• Arranged Marriage: By her family's tradition, she's being forced to marry an unfaithful Upper-Class Twit. Ichiko and Ranmaru manage to save her from being taken away by her fiancé.

• Childhood Friend Romance: By the end of the manga, Nadeshiko comes to reciprocate the feelings of her butler Shinobu who has been by her side since their childhood.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: For years, she has been doing whatever she can to keep other girls away from Keita.
• Custom Uniform: She wears her winter uniform while the other girls are in summer uniform. Apparently, she was supposed to make her debut in winter.
• Cute Clumsy Girl: The author decided it would be boring for her to just be a normal Ojou, so he made her a clumsy stalker to go with it.
• Doppelgänger Attack:
  • Hilariously subverted. Nadeshiko makes it look like she has a cloning technique in her ninja skillset, but her duplicates are really her many servants in disguise.
  • Played straight in the second-to-last chapter. Nadeshiko becomes able to produce real clones of herself thanks to being made into a god by Ichiko and Momiji.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Both in the manga and anime, she makes several cameo appearances before her official debut. In the manga, this isn't pointed out until after her introduction. In the anime, she has a special post-credits segment at the end of each episode to signal her own cameos.
• Forgotten First Meeting: By the time Nadeshiko gathers the courage to confess to Keita at her sixteenth birthday, she discovers that Keita has completely forgotten about their meeting when they were kids. Keita needed his sister's help to remember Nadeshiko.
• Formal Characters Use Keigo: Nadeshiko always uses very formal speech patterns. This highlights her wealthy status.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: She becomes bitterly depressed and self-hating when after finding out that Keita likes Ichiko, she has a passing thought that maybe it would be a good thing if Ichiko didn't return from rescuing Momiji.
• Highly-Visible Ninja: Do note that she actually sucks at being a ninja.
• Hopeless Suitor: Despite all her efforts, Keita never showed even the slightest interest in her. She gets bummed out when it becomes more than obvious Ichiko already won Keita's heart and there is nothing she can do about that.
• Human Ladder: Her special attack Nadeshiko Fox Spirit Drop
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Played with. When she realizes that Keita is much more interested in Ichiko than her, she tries to withdraw quietly, but results are pretty mixed, much to her shame. Interestingly, it's slightly twisted from the usual presentation: it's more about wanting Ichiko to be happy.
• Large Ham: As to be expected from an Ojou, the way she acts is always larger-than-life.
• Long-Lost Relative: Turns out she has a little sister named Ruri, whom she hadn't known about until the series' finale.
• Lust Object: She's on the receiving end of her butler Shinobu's Comedic Lolicon antics, to her dismay.
• Maybe Ever After: The closing chapters of the manga show Nadeshiko is warming up to her loyal butler Shinobu, which may help her get over Keita hooking up with Ichiko. She still gets pissed when Shinobu acts like a creep around her long-lost little sister, though.
• Ninja: She self-taught herself ninja skills to make her stalking easier.
• Noblewoman's Laugh: During her first real appearance, the other characters quickly and accurately guessed that she'll launch into an annoying laugh at any minute.
• Ojou: Nadeshiko is the daughter of a very wealthy family and lives in a Big Fancy House that looks like a castle.
• Ojou Ringlets: She wears her hair in four large ringlets in front and behind her shoulders just so you know she's an Ojou at first glance.
• Older Than She Looks: She's sixteen like her classmates, but her short stature, flat chest and the way she dresses make her look like a preteen.
• Outdoorsy Gal: Nadeshiko liked to climb trees when she was a child and was agile enough to jump from branch to branch.
• Proper Tights with a Skirt: She wears white tights under her dress.
• Rejected Marriage Proposal: At her 16th birthday party, Nadeshiko proposes marriage to Keita. He immediately says no because she's a complete stranger to him since she only stalked him in secret for years. Turns out Nadeshiko did this in a desperate attempt to escape an Arranged Marriage.
• Rescue Romance: Keita saved her when she was falling from a tree. Ever since then, Nadeshiko has thought of him as her prince and obsessively stalks him.
• She Is All Grown Up: Thanks to Tama accidentally misusing an item she borrowed from Momiji, there's a brief panel of Nadeshiko as she'll look in some years. Her figure is about on par with Ichiko's of all people. Seems she really is just a late bloomer.
• Shipper with an Agenda: She approves of Akane's crush on Ranmaru because Akane could help her keep Ranmaru away from Keita.
• Signature Headgear: The two pink hairclips shaped like bunnies that she wears on both sides of her head.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She has been obsessively in love with Keita for years because she envisioned him as a Prince Charming who saved her when she fell from a tree. Later on, she starts to reciprocate the feelings of her butler Shinobu after he proves he's so loyal to her that he would readily risk his life to protect her.
• Stalker Shrine: The walls of her bedroom are decorated with pictures of Keita she secretly took through the years she stalked him.
• Stalker with a Crush: She's been spying on Keita for years and has driven away all his female admirers without him ever realizing it.
• Stalking Is Funny if It Is Female After Male: She has been stalking her crush Keita for years, which motivated her to train herself in ninjutsu. This is the main element of her comedy.
• Taught by Experience: She developed her ninja skills through the years she spent coming up with methods to stalk Keita and drive other girls away from him.
• Token Mini-Moe: She's the butt of a lot of jokes for looking so young. Her normal clothing tries to deemphasize it, but that only gets you so far.
• Town Girls: The Femme. Leaving aside the Ninja Stalker with a Crush gimmick, Nadeshiko is much more well-mannered, stylish and proper than Ichiko and Ranmaru.
• Trouser Space: She can bring out all kinds of ninja weapons from up her skirt.
• Tsundere: Towards Shinobu. She's immensely annoyed by his perverted stalker antics and punishes him violently when he takes it too far. When she learns he's truly devoted to her to the point of risking his life for her, she gets a Luminescent Blush and calls him an idiot before acknowledging him as a competent butler. By the end of the series, she has begun to reciprocate his feelings, not that it stops her from hitting him when he's being a lolicon pervert.
• Uptown Girl:
  • Nadeshiko is the daughter of a big conglomerate and lives in a literal castle. Meanwhile, the guy she loves is dirt-poor, lives in a small run-down apartment with his four siblings and must take several part-time jobs to support them.
  • Her butler is also obsessively in love with her. Towards the end of the manga, it looks like Nadeshiko might reciprocate his feelings.
• Why Can't I Hate You?: She feels disgusted at herself when she briefly wishes Ichiko doesn't return from her mission of rescuing Momiji, since she doesn't want to see Keita get together with Ichiko.
• Yandere: For Keita, she's willing to ruin her "competition's" lives or bribe them. She gets better though.

Shinobu Daimon

Nadeshiko's loyal butler since their childhood.

---

• Abhorrent Admirer: Shinobu is good-looking, but he's also a lecherous lolicon who obsesses over Nadeshiko's childlike looks. Nadeshiko never abstains from beating him up for being so annoying.
• Acquired Poison Immunity: From a young age, he underwent training to become resistant to poisons, in order to protect Nadeshiko from assassination attempts.
• Badass Longcoat: His butler uniform includes a long coat and he's a competent ninja butler.
• Battle Butler: He serves as Nadeshiko's butler and like her, he knows some ninja tricks. It's also revealed that Shinobu has taken down any assassin that has come after Nadeshiko's life for years.
• Battle Couple: He aids Nadeshiko in the Final Battle and eagerly accepts her request to serve her for the rest of her life.
• Bodyguard Crush: His duty is to protect Nadeshiko as her butler and bodyguard. Since he has the major hots for her, Shinobu uses this as an excuse to stalk her.
• Buxom Beauty Standard: Inverted. Shinobu is only attracted to flat-chested girls and calls breasts "unnecessary spheres of accumulated fat". Seeing Nadeshiko turn into a well-endowed adult woman nearly kills Shinobu from a heart attack.
• Childhood Friend Romance: He has been working for Nadeshiko since they were children and he's madly in love with her, although the feeling isn't mutual. By the final chapters of the manga, however, Nadeshiko might be warming up to him.
• Chivalrous Pervert: He's a lecherous and pedophilic stalker, but at least has the decency to not place cameras in Nadeshiko's bathroom. He only sneaks into Nadeshiko's bath once, to protect her from an assassination attempt.
• Comedic Lolicon: He adores Nadeshiko because she's small and flat-chested. Keita keeps him away from his little sisters because Shinobu lusts after any preteen girl. When Nadeshiko's never-before-seen little sister appears, and she's even younger and flatter than her, Shinobu goes over the moon.
• Covered with Scars: He has scars all over his body that he got from secretly protecting Nadeshiko from assassins for years.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: He usually tolerates Nadeshiko's obsession with Keita because her feelings are obviously one-sided. The moment he thinks he sees Keita (actually Ungaikyou in disguise) hugging Nadeshiko, Shinobu goes berserk.
• Devoted to You: While he's a lolicon Stalker with a Crush, Shinobu is utterly devoted to Nadeshiko.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: During the autumn school festival, he helps all the boys from Ichiko's class become proper butlers for their class exhibit. Said help involves nightmarish levels of training and repetition.
• Funny Afro: He has an afro and he's a lolicon with an over-the-top personality like everyone else in this series.
• Handsome Lech: He's fairly attractive, putting his pedophilia aside that is.
• Hidden Depths: For the most part, he's just a Comedic Lolicon and Nadeshiko's annoying Stalker with a Crush who doesn't seem qualified to be a butler at all. In his Day in the Limelight, however, he proves himself to be a very competent butler and he has constantly put his life on the line to protect Nadeshiko from assassins without him letting her know so she doesn't get scared. By finding out about this, Nadeshiko acknowledges Shinobu's Undying Loyalty to her even though she still thinks he's a perverted idiot.
• Human Pack Mule: Nadeshiko makes him carry her bags when they go shopping together.
• Invisibility: His butler outfit has a special camouflage feature that makes him invisible. He uses this to "protect" (i.e. stalk) Nadeshiko at all times of her day without her realizing it.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: While he has spent years fighting against assassins going after Nadeshiko's life, Shinobu doesn't want to let Nadeshiko know about it because he prefers to be seen as nothing but a perverted stalker before letting Nadeshiko live constantly fearing for her own life.
• Legacy of Service: He comes from a family of butlers that has served the Adenokouji family for generations.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: He's rather open about his lust for Nadeshiko, which is apparently mostly tolerated because she genuinely trusts him.
• Loving Details: He keeps a memo pad where he wrote down all of Nadeshiko's personal details, including her height, weight, measurements, and the color of her panties.
• Maybe Ever After: The ending of the manga implies Shinobu may have a chance to make Nadeshiko fall for him, but he needs to stop being a lolicon creep first.
• Power Dyes Your Hair: Nadeshiko gives him a Power-Up by putting on a School Swimsuit and kissing him on the cheek. In addition, Shinobu's dark hair turns light-colored.
• Satellite Love Interest: His devotion to Nadeshiko is his only notable character trait aside from being a lolicon and even that still ties back to his obsession with Nadeshiko.
• Stalker with a Crush: He stalks Nadeshiko as much as the latter stalks Keita, if not worse. He keeps cameras at every corner of the mansion to spy on Nadeshiko, although he did have the decency of not placing any in the bathroom (or so he claims).
• Subordinate Excuse: He adores Nadeshiko regardless of her being his master or not.
• Undying Loyalty: He's a lolicon stalker, but his loyalty to Nadeshiko is the real deal.

Mika voiced by: Ayami Yoshii (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)

Sorata voiced by: Akina (Japanese), Lindsay Seidel (English)

Keita's younger siblings.

---

• Family Theme Naming: All their names are pronounced similar. The boys all have names ending in -ta (Keita, Ryuuta and Sorata) while the girls have names ending in -ka (Rika and Mika).
• Massive Numbered Siblings: They're a family of five siblings and Keita, the oldest, provides for them because their parents abandoned them.
• Parental Abandonment: Their parents ran away due to their massive debts, leaving them for Keita to raise.

Rika

• A-Cup Angst: One reason Rika dislikes Ichiko, besides her usual haughty front, is her impressive breast size.
• Big Brother Attraction: Rika has a blatant crush on her older brother Keita, who only loves her as a sister.
• Children Do the Housework: While her older brother Keita works to earn money for the family, Rika handles the household chores.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Rika is not fond of her brother being so popular with girls.
• Gyaru Girl: Rika becomes one for a short time after Tanpopo causes the siblings to become rich. Since the maids can take care of the housework, Rika hangs out with girls her age who convince her to dye her hair and dress fashionably. Rika goes back to normal after the family goes back to being poor.
• The Load: In a bonus chapter, Rika teams up with Ichiko, Ranmaru and Nadeshiko for a swimming competition to get some prize money to share with her family. She doesn't have Ichiko or even Ranmaru's figure, she's doesn't have superhuman athletic ability and she's not as smart as Ichiko, meaning she ends up feeling useless by the end. There's a special bonus round where she faces off against Momiji for the prize money after her teammates do all the work and it's the one thing she's better at than them: Cooking. She still loses because Momiji is simply fantastic at cooking.
• Promotion to Parent: As the second oldest sibling, Rika assumes the maternal role for her younger siblings because their parents left them.
• Yank the Dog's Chain: After feeling useless all throughout a competition where she wanted to prove she could help support her family, Rika finally gets to face off in cooking against Momiji. She loses again.

Ryuuta

• Dirty Kid: He's delighted about going to the seaside with her, imagining her in a swimsuit.
• Formerly Fit: He gets fat during the Tanpopo arc because he ate too much junk food after his family got rich. He returns to his normal weight later.
• Insult of Endearment: Ryuuta nicknames Ichiko as "Chichiko" because he doesn't like her at first. He eventually does warm up to her, but keeps calling her Chichiko out of habit.
• Keet: He's the most outgoing of Keita's four younger siblings.
• Precocious Crush: Ryuuta is in elementary school and is hinted to have a crush on Ichiko, who is in high school.

Mika

• The Cutie: She's the sweet and adorable kid sister of the Tsuwabuki siblings.
• Princess Phase: When the family gets rich for some time because of Tanpopo, Mika goes through a phase of wearing ridiculously fancy dresses to look like a princess.

Sorata

• The Baby of the Bunch: He's the youngest sibling, being just a toddler.
• Improbable Infant Survival: Sorata gets hit by a motorbike due to Tanpopo's meddling and falls into a coma, one which he's not likely to wake up from. Thanks to Tama delivering Ichiko's energy, he wakes up, fully healed.

Tama

^{Click here to see her cat form}

Voiced by: Ayaka Mori (Japanese), Becca Shivers (English)

A kitten who Momiji arranges to have taken in by Ichiko. After being given a large amount of her owner's fortune energy, Tama gains godly powers.

---

• A-Cup Angst: Like many, she's envious of Ichiko's impressive breast size. An entire chapter is dedicated to Tama getting a Misfortune God Item to make herself older so her bust grows bigger.
• Animal Jingoism: As expected from a cat god and a dog god, Tama and Momo'o don't get along.
• Cat Girl: After being given Ichiko's fortune energy, Tama can transform from a normal cat to a small girl with cat ears and a tail.
• Cute Kitten: Her original form is an adorable small white kitty.
• Eyes Always Shut: She keeps her eyes closed, but only in her Maneki Neko form.
• Maneki Neko: She transforms into one thanks to being given a large amount of Ichiko's good luck. She usually looks like a normal cat or a cartoony Cat Girl, but if Momiji's aging Misfortune God Item is correct, Tama will turn into a giant maneki neko statue when she grows older.
• White Gloves: Her Cat Girl form wears white gloves and looks more cartoony than the other characters of the series.

Akane Tange

Voiced by: Kozue Hirashima (Japanese), Michelle Rojas (English)

A girl from Ichiko's class who hates her for being so popular with the guys.

---

• Easily Forgiven: Early in the series, Akane set Ichiko up to be kidnapped and nearly raped by some guys. When the incident is brought up again much later on, Ichiko isn't even angry about it since she was saved by Ranmaru who then became her friend, which she thinks made the Attempted Rape worth it.
• Evil Redhead: She has red hair and starts as a malicious antagonist who wants to hurt Ichiko for petty reasons. She gets better later on.
• Gayngst: She frequently angsts over her unrequited lesbian crush on Ranmaru.
• Gold Digger: It's said that she forced the guys who dated her to spend more than two million yen on her.
• Hopeless Suitor: She tries to confess her feelings to Ranmaru more than once, but she keeps failing to get it.
• Incompatible Orientation: Akane has a big crush on Ranmaru who is decidedly heterosexual for Keita.
• Ladykiller in Love: A female example. It's mentioned that Akane went out with more than ten guys in six months, but she stopped when she fell in love for real with Ranmaru.
• Rescue Romance: She gets a crush on Ranmaru after the latter risks her life saving Akane and her friends from a falling building.
• Tears of Joy: She cries out of happiness when she thinks Ranmaru accepts her love confession, even though Ranmaru still misunderstood her feelings.
• Too Kinky to Torture: She sure seems to enjoy training with Ranmaru, despite coming out with a few broken bones.
• Took a Level in Kindness: In her first appearances, Akane is a mean girl who hangs out with her two friends while badmouthing Ichiko behind her back. At one point, she goes as far as to try to have Ichiko raped out of spite. After Ranmaru saves her life and she falls in love with her as a result, her behavior improves significantly and she gets on friendlier terms with Ichiko enough as to speak about her feelings for Ranmaru with her and Ichiko even encounrages her to confess.

Genjurou Rindou

Voiced by: Ryōtarō Okiayu (Japanese), Duncan Brannan (English)

Ranmaru's father, who has trained her to become masculine and thus inherit his karate dojo.

---

• Abusive Parent: He's a major hardliner when it comes to his daughter's behavior. However, after he loses a fight to Ichiko he softens up and becomes much more supportive.
• Berserk Button: Ichiko accurately guesses that his pink hair is something of a sensitive issue for him and instantly begins making fun of it to pick a fight.
• Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: He's enraged when some unfortunate choice of words from Ranmaru makes her combat training with Momo'o sound like they have been having sex.
• Wanted a Son Instead: So much so that he refused to allow his daughter to wear feminine clothing or to see any other path than that of a karate master.

Kurumi Minowa

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Jad Saxton (English)

Ichiko's close friend in primary school.

---

• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She was the first girl to act even a little friendly to Ichiko, seemingly being the one nice girl in the class. However, she just wanted to get close to her to manipulate and badmouth her.
• A Day in the Limelight: The second light novel catches up on her when she's in high school, and she has her very own god-related misadventures with Ikari that help her explore how cruel she was back then.
• Devil in Plain Sight: Somehow her childhood crush never noticed her spiteful facial expressions when she badmouthed Ichiko right in front of him.
• False Friend: When seeing the talented and quiet but popular Ichiko, all the girls instantly hated her. Kurumi took it one step further by pretending to be her friend just to screw her over.
• Girlish Pigtails: She tied some of her hair up into twin tails, but in her case, it isn't cute at all. She was extremely immature and bratty even for an elementary school student, but in a Kids Are Cruel sense. When she's a teenager she trades them in for a pixie cut.
• Green-Eyed Monster: She and Ichiko had a crush on the same boy, but he only paid attention to Ichiko. Kurumi was so jealous that she told him Ichiko gave away his White Day present because it was "cheap" (the truth was Kurumi had forced Ichiko to give her the present). The boy believed Kurumi's lies and she took the chance to steal him away.
• Hate Sink: She's despicable in every sense of the word. Kurumi approached the Lonely Rich Kid Ichiko and claimed to be her friend. In reality, Kurumi was a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who was jealous of Ichiko getting all the boys' attention like everyone else. Just to make her even more hateful, she lied about Ichiko being an Alpha Bitch in front of their mutual crush so she could steal him away. After seeing what Kurumi did to Ichiko, Ranmaru could only think of how much she wanted to give that little bitch a good beating. The light novels meanwhile take steps to subvert this, giving her more sympathetic traits and even turning her into a Regretful Traitor.
• Kids Are Cruel: For an elementary schooler, she sure was spiteful and malicious.
• Manipulative Bitch: She exploited Ichiko's loneliness by posing as her friend and threatening to stop talking to her if she didn't give Kurumi what she wanted. Jealous that their crush liked Ichiko better, Kurumi lied to him about Ichiko being an Alpha Bitch who gave away his White Day gift when Kurumi had actually forced Ichiko to give it to her.
• Puppy Love: She and Ichiko had a crush on the same boy in their elementary school. Knowing he liked Ichiko better, Kurumi tricked him into dating her by telling him Ichiko didn't care about him.
• Regretful Traitor: Come her teenage years, and she really does feel bad about how she betrayed Ichiko out of petty jealousy. Her chapter in the second light novel ends with Kurumi reaching out to Ichiko in order to properly apologize.
• Small Role, Big Impact: She only appears in a flashback, but her betrayal directly caused Ichiko's current bitchy attitude and reluctance to make friends.

Kazuma Sakura

Ichiko's father who has been absent for most of her life.

---

• Disappeared Dad: Ichiko hasn't seen him since she was a child, which is why she deeply resents him.
• Family Man: His greatest dream is spending the quality time with his wife and daughter that was denied to him because his music career got in the way.
• Parents as People: Shortly after Ichiko was born, her fortune energy took effect on her parents and Kazuma became the vocalist of a famous American band before he knew it. The band is always touring overseas and they rarely let Kazuma return to his family in Japan, so he barely had any time for Ichiko for the last sixteen years (as in since infancy). And that includes her birthdays. He does love Ichiko very much and laments missing out time with her for most of her life. Eventually, he tries to make it up to Ichiko by asking her to move to America with him, but this only makes Ichiko even angrier at him for being so inconsiderate to her feelings like always. At the end of Kazuma's arc, Ichiko acknowledges his love for her is genuine despite his big flaws.
• Rags to Riches: He was an aspiring musician barely making money by singing on the street and the company of his wife's family had gone bankrupt.

God World

Kumagai

Momiji's stuffed bear and sidekick.

---

• Gonk: His eyes, nose, and lips aren't drawn cute at all, making look pretty ugly for a teddy bear.
• Hammerspace: His torn-open belly serves as storage for Momiji's giant hypodermic needle.
• Hot in Human Form: He can transfer his soul into a doll to take a quite handsome human form. Ichiko and Tama get flustered when they first see him in that form, especially because he appeared naked and Ichiko yells him to put on some clothes.
• Humanity Ensues: In the final arc, he spends a few chapters in a human form to help Ichiko rescue Momiji.
• Living Toys: He's a living stuffed bear.
• Poor Communication Kills: If he had bothered to mention that her survival was at stake Ichiko would have been much more willing to turn Momiji back to normal after losing her powers. Instead, he makes it sounds as though he's just being entirely selfish.
• Snarky Non-Human Sidekick: He never abstains from throwing snarky comments at Momiji when she's being silly or outmatched by Ichiko.
• The Speechless: He is usually speechless. He does become able to speak when he takes human form.

Yamabuki

Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue (Japanese), Lydia Mackay (English)

Momiji's senior misfortune deity.

---

• A-Cup Angst: As common in Misfortune Gods, Yamabuki has nonexistent breasts and hates being called flat-chested.
• Beware the Nice Ones: She is normally nice beyond reason, but when you really push her, watch out.
• Butt-Monkey: She gets made fun of and disrespected by Momiji in most of her appearances and even Ichiko tricks her in a phone call once. Yamabuki ends up crying at feeling that no one takes her seriously.
• Combat Tentacles: She uses thorn whips as her weapons.
• Cool Big Sis: All her subordinates, including Momiji, see her as this.
• Even the Girls Want Her: Her three friends and fellow boss gods compete with each other for her affection.
• Giant Woman: She's about as tall as a tower.
• Huge Schoolgirl: When Ichiko points out her size, she gets depressed. Mind you, this is when she's actually significantly smaller than usual since she left a lot of energy behind.
• Large and in Charge: Get enough energy and you become a god. After that, more energy causes you to grow in size gods gain more power as they age. Thus, the fact that she's so large as well as the chief god are not unrelated.
• Nice Girl: She's always very polite and understanding. The other chief gods simply adore her for it, even the god of death that supposedly hates basically everyone.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Keeps reminding Momiji that her task is simply take away Ichiko's surplus good fortune, not harm her any more than is needed. Unfortunately her advice often falls on deaf ears, sometimes to the point of outright insubordination.
• Top God: She's the head chief of the misfortune gods.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Nobody in Class 1-A reacted to Yamabuki imitating Momiji during Chapter 9/Episode 6, despite the fact that she stands at least four times as tall as a normal human being. They all just thought Momiji was doing something weird again.

Momo'o Inugami

^{Click here to see his dog form}

Voiced by: Hiro Shimono (Japanese), Todd Haberkorn (English)

Masochistic dog-god and Momiji's accomplice in stealing Ichiko's fortune.

---

• Accidental Pervert: Nothing in his mind is totally wholesome, but that one time when he transformed into a human while being bathed by a likewise naked Ichiko is completely out of his control.
  Momo'o: "OH CRAAAPP!!!"
• Amazon Chaser: Being a self-admitted masochist, he adores strong women who can give him a good beating.
• Anime Hair: His human form has spiky hair that realistically shouldn't be possible without hair gel.
• Animorphism: When he feels enough pleasure, Momo'o transforms into a cute chihuahua. Getting him even more turned on allows him to transform into a Canis Major.
• Bash Siblings: He teams up with Ranmaru for their fights in the final battle.
• Birds of a Feather: Becomes fast friends with Bobby over the course of the series, as while they may have their different fetishes both of them are still perverts to the core.
• But Now I Must Go: At the end of the story, he leaves the human world along with Momiji now that their mission is finally complete.
• Call on Me: Gives Ichiko and Ranmaru a dog-whistle which literally summons him whenever she needs him and his nose, such as finding Keita after he got lost in the woods searching for her in turn.
• Childhood Friends: He has been good friends with Momiji since they were kids.
• Combat Sadomasochist: Weaponized. During battle, Ranmaru stimulates Momo's extreme masochism by abusing him at the same time she's attacking their opponents in order to make Momo'o turn into a Canis Major.
• Didn't See That Coming: Being fed with nothing but Momiji's one-sided "intel" about Ichiko being a complete Jerkass to everyone but Suwano, Momo'o didn't expect to witness firsthand the lengths with which Ichiko would go for the sake of her Parental Substitute, going so far as to spend the night at a massive landfill searching for her box containing Suwano's letters after they were mistaken for garbage.
• Fire-Forged Friends: He became friends with Momiji when she helped him win a sort of rite of passage race back when everyone believed him to be a failure.
• Implied Love Interest: To Ranmaru. They get several scenes together in the last parts of the manga that imply they might like each other. In the end, there's no romance between them; Momo'o leaves because of his god duties, and Ranmaru goes on to fight potential suitors.
• Little Bit Beastly: His human form has droopy dog-like ears.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: He's as big of a pervert as Bobby.
• Mark of the Supernatural: He has a blue right eye and a green left eye thanks to being a dog god.
• The Nose Knows: Dog-gods have an enhanced sense of smell.
• Odd Friendship: He's a dog god who becomes friends with the Buddhist monk Bobby, his fellow pervert.

• Undying Loyalty: He's utterly loyal to Momiji.

Kuroyuri

Voiced by: Ryōko Shiraishi (Japanese), Morgan Garrett (English)

A Misfortune God and Momiji's old friend.

• Sinister Scythe: She wields a scythe.

Anzu

Another of Momiji's Misfortune God friends.

Tanpopo

A God of Fortune who comes to the human realm to, like Momiji, extract Ichiko's fortune.

---

• Ambiguously Gay: Her relationship with Konjikihime heavily implies they're lesbians. Tanpopo even calls Konjikihime her wife in the extra yonkoma.
• Arc Villain: She acts as the main antagonist of her own arc where she targets Ichiko because of her Fortune energy and becomes a threat to all of Ichiko's friends.
• Bad "Bad Acting": She tries to play the role of a Damsel in Distress for Keita to come in her aid. She's too stoic to make her act too convincing, though.
• Bad Samaritan: She gives the Tsuwabuki siblings instant access to 10 years' worth of good fortune, which gives them their own mansion. However, they get the equivalent of 10 years of misfortune afterward and the little Sorata gets hit by a motorbike, potentially leaving him in a permanent coma. This was part of Tanpopo's plan to break Ichiko.
• Boxing Battler: She fights using a style very similar to boxing, with her cat hand puppets being used as boxing gloves.
• Broken Bird: Tanpopo used to be a nice goddess who simply wanted to make people happy. Having low fortune energy, however, causes all her attempts to ultimately reverse their effects upon her targets. After way too many failures (and some where her benefactors ultimately blame her), she finally becomes resigned to her fate, losing all faith in humanity and all interest in anything but herself.
• Cerebus Retcon: Her talking uniquely through hand puppets seems funny at first. Once we learn about her past, it's revealed Tanpopo started doing that after her bad experiences with humans made her so sick of trying to get along with people that she decided to never even speak directly to anyone again.
• Childhood Friends: She has known Konjikihime since they were children.
• Cloudcuckoolander: She has a weird way of doing things.
• The Comically Serious: During her comedic moments, she maintains her straight face while acting as silly as everyone else.
• Dark Action Girl: She's cold, dangerous and capable of breaking people's bones without mercy.
• D-Cup Distress: She admits her large breasts get in the way and make her shoulders stiff.
• Deliberately Distressed Damsel: She lures Keita into a trap by pretending to be a defenseless girl who is being harassed by some thugs (who were actually her helpers).
• Died in Your Arms Tonight: She's fatally wounded by Natsume and disappears in Bobby's arms.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She ultimately suffers a huge emotional conflict between her belief that humans and deities can never get along together and the fact that Ichiko and Momiji are far friendlier to each other than they'd ever like to admit.
• Extremity Extremist: She fights exclusively with her fists.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: She's introduced as a cold and ruthless bespectacled assassin out to kill Ichiko and doesn't care to hurt Ichiko's friends as collateral damage. However, she later has a Heel–Face Turn and softens as a result.
• Freudian Excuse: She once wanted to bring happiness to humans, but every time she tried, the humans she brought good luck to became lost in their greed and fell into ruin. Coming to believe humans were all selfish and petty, Tanpopo decided to stop trying to help them and make them miserable like her.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Tanpopo causes Keita's baby brother to get hit by a motorcycle which would have rendered him braindead if Ichiko's good fortune energy haven't caused a miraculous recovery. She also threatens the life of Ichiko's friends and innocent civilians just to force Ichiko to surrender. After being defeated, Tanpopo goes on a rant about her experiences with humans that convinced her they aren't worth helping. In return, Ichiko and Momiji show little sympathy for her and don't hesitate to beat her silly when Tanpopo tries to refuse making amends for what she did to Keita's family.
• The Gambling Addict: She loses 80,000 yen playing pachinko in a single afternoon.
• Hand Puppet: She always wears a pair of cat hand puppets that she uses to communicate through Ventriloquism. They also work as boxing gloves.
• Heel–Face Turn: After being defeated by Ichiko and her friends, Tanpopo starts slowly changing her ways and doing small things to help humans again.
• How the Mighty Have Fallen: From the most dangerous and feared assassin of the Fortune Gods to a jobless tramp who more than once offers her body for money.
• Humanizing Tears: After spending her introduction arc acting like a heartless assassin, Tanpopo breaks down in tears as she struggles to come to terms with Ichiko and Momiji defying her expectations of human-deity relationships, and whether she can still change after all she's done.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: After her fight against Ichiko and Momiji, Tanpopo admits to Konjikihime that she truly wanted to become friends with the humans she helped like Momiji did with Ichiko, but it never worked out for her.
• I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: Her favorite tactic to deal with her targets is to threaten and hurt their loved ones so they won't resist when Tanpopo kills them.
• Knight of Cerebus: She's the first serious antagonist of the story and while the story maintains the comedy, she still marks the point where the story shifted towards darkness.
• Laser Blade: Her cat hand puppets con wield these.
• Laughably Evil: She may be a very intimidating and cruel villain, yet Tanpopo can put up a good comedy routine with her habit to communicate through hand puppets.
• Mirror Character: Turns out Tanpopo is almost exactly like Ichiko was before she started to change thanks to Momiji and her other friends. Like Ichiko, Tanpopo was an innocent girl who grew bitter after seeing the ugly sides of people and decided no one was worth helping. Thanks to seeing Ichiko's friendship with Momiji and Konjikihime supporting Tanpopo, Tanpopo starts changing for the better like Ichiko.
• Navel Window: She wears a Chinese dress with a cutout around her navel.
• Never My Fault: As she repeatedly failed to make humans happy in the long run, Tanpopo refused to accept the cause of it could be her low fortune energy, placing all the blame in the greed and stupidity of humans.
• Playing Card Motifs: Her regular attire and her Magical Girl one have club symbols.
• Professional Killer: Her line of work in the god world consists of eliminating humans who threaten the balance of fortune energy in the human world. Her latest target is Ichiko.
• The Quiet One: She rarely speaks directly, preferring to communicate through her hand puppets.
• Revenge by Proxy: Not really revenge but all of her assignments have her first going after those close to her target and then finally taking out the target.
• Sex for Services: After she loses her job at the God's realm, Tanpopo can't think of any ways to earn money other than selling her body. She lets Bobby rub her naked breasts for merely 20,000 yen and offers Keita to wash his body in the bath. Konjikihime is outraged at Tanpopo's utter lack of dignity.
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: For most of her arc, Tanpopo is cruel, merciless and dangerously vicious. When Ichiko uses her good fortune energy to stop a hurricane, she sees Tanpopo's real self: a sad little girl who only wanted to make humans happy, but became disillusioned after her attempts never turned out good.
• Stoic Spectacles: She wears glasses and has the same cold facial expression most of the time. The only other expression which she makes is a dreadful Death Glare.
• Took a Level in Kindness: After her arc, Tanpopo is growing into a more decent person even if she's still prone to violence, as seen when she attacks a Jerkass for hurting a service dog. This gives Konjikihime hope that Tanpopo can eventually return to being the sweet girl she once was.
• Tragic Bigot: Her bad experiences with humans convinced her that they're all selfish people who only waste their good luck in becoming rich until they lose everything.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Before being broken by repeated failures, she was a nice child whose only wish was to help people attain happiness.

• Willfully Weak: She sealed away her own fortune energy after she decided to never use it for the sake of humans again.
• You Can't Go Home Again: After failing her mission to kill Ichiko, Tanpopo stays in the human world with Konjikihime since Tanpopo's boss had ordered Tanpopo to be killed in case of her failure.
• You Have Failed Me: Turns out she was supposed to be executed with a Big Red Button designed to eliminate her should she fail her mission. Konjikihime, unto whom the task was assigned, simply couldn't find the courage to do as their superior tells her.

• Battle Strip: Because of her Master of Threads ability, she wraps her entire body in strings for a fight. The more strings she uses, the more naked she gets.

• Go Out with a Smile: After being stabbed by Natsume, Konjikihime uses her last bit of strength to welcome Tanpopo home with a smile.
• Heel–Face Turn: After Tanpopo's defeat in their debut arc, she stays with Tanpopo in the human world and start living peacefully. They later help Ichiko and her friends in the final battle.
• I Choose to Stay: Even though Konjikihime is free to go back to the god realm, she still chooses to live with Tanpopo at the human realm.
• Living Emotional Crutch: After they fail their mission and can't go back to the God Realm anymore, Konjikihime promising to be there for Tanpopo is the one thing that motivates Tanpopo to start over and change for the better. After Natsume kills Konjikihime, Tanpopo loses all will to live and just goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge until Natsume kills her too.

---

• And I Must Scream: After the death of Kanna, the ribbon that would eventually become Botan was locked away somewhere dark and forgotten for centuries. When Botan eventually awoke as an item, all she had were the dark, the silence and occasional stray moments to think about Kanna for what would be all of eternity so far as she knew.

• You Have Failed Me: After her attempt to replace Ichiko's memories with Kanna's ends in failure, Ikari separates Botan from her ribbon vessel and shatters her soul.

---

• All of the Other Reindeer: When he was human, the people of his village drove him out because his presence attracted misfortune to those around him.
• Always Save the Girl: When Kanna was alive, Kanna's safety was the only thing that mattered to Ikari. When he overheard a misfortune god was planning to use Kanna as bait for Hanabishi, Ikari only wanted to run away with Kanna regardless of what she wanted and didn't care what Hanabishi could do to the villagers as long as Kanna was saved.
• Anime Hair: The top of his hair looks like a rooster's cockscomb.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: His love for Kanna is stemmed by her being the only person who ever showed him unconditional kindness and compassion.
• Big Bad: He's responsible for all the troubles in Ichiko's life, such as her massive fortune energy and the isolation she suffered because of it. He antagonizes both the humans and gods in his attempts to resurrect Kanna.
• Born Unlucky: Opposite to Ichiko and Kanna, Ikari was born with excessive amount of misfortune energy. When he went on a walk, he got dirty with animal excrement, he got into accidents such as almost drowning or being attacked by wild animals and the food he picked up was always rotten. To make it worse, his misfortune affected anyone who got close to him, which got him chased off his village. The only way he was able to achieve some happiness in his life was being around Kanna, as her fortune energy canceled out his misfortune energy.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: When he was human, Ikari was very miserable because of his terrible luck. Meeting Kanna and being treated kindly by her was the only joy in his whole life.
• The Comically Serious: He quite seriously believes in Shounen Jump philosophy.
• Cradle of Loneliness: He clung on to Kanna's rotting corpse for a while until he buried it.
• Create Your Own Hero: He was the one who granted Ichiko her massive fortune energy so she could eventually become a god like him. Ichiko ends up using that fortune energy to save people and stop him. He's also responsible for Momiji's existence because Momiji was born from half of his soul.
• Dark Lord on Life Support: His real body is deteriorated from old age and confined to a throne with life support equipment.
• Deity of Human Origin: He was a human who became a god after receiving all of Kanna's fortune energy.
• Despair Event Horizon: Kanna's death destroyed him, especially because she sacrificed herself to save him and he came to believe he was the reason for her death.
• Disease Bleach: His hair becomes bleached due to the trauma caused by Kanna's death.
• Freudian Excuse: Kanna was the only person who ever loved him, but she died to save him and now that he became a god, he can't even join her in death. To solve this, Ikari tries to replace Ichiko's memories with Kanna's, turn her into a god, kill everyone in her city and create another dimension where he and Kanna can be together forever.
• Graceful Loser: After falling to Ichiko and Momiji's combined attack, witnessing his physical body being dissolved, and Kanna's spirit soothing his rage, Ikari finally decides to lay down his arms and order his subordinates to surrender.
• Green-Eyed Monster: He tells Keita to "stay away from his (Ikari's) woman" and erases Ichiko from his memory because he hates to see Kanna's reincarnation being in love with another man.
• Hades Shaded: His skin turned dark after Hanabishi transferred a portion of her massive misfortune energy to his body.
• Heel Realization: Once he's finally defeated, Ikari sees where he went wrong when Ichiko lets him have a final conversation with Kanna and he realizes the only thing his efforts to bring Kanna back accomplished was making her cry over how much her Heroic Sacrifice made him suffer.
• I Let Gwen Stacy Die: For centuries, he has blamed himself over his beloved Kanna performing a Heroic Sacrifice to save his life at the cost of her own.
• Jerkass: He's become an extremely unpleasant person since Kanna died.
• The Jinx: Having too much misfortune energy for a human, disaster befell anyone who got close to Ikari. Kanna wasn't affected by it because her large amount of fortune energy countered Ikari's misfortune.
• Kick the Dog: He wastes no time at all in his first appearance to "kill" Botan in cold blood. Almost everytime he appears or his name is mentioned a dog kicking moment happens almost immediately.
• Knight of Cerebus: Tanpopo was the first Knight of Cerebus with her brutal beatdowns of unrelated strangers and emotional sadism, but throughout the arc the humor did manage to keep up. However, with Ikari as the villain the story took an uncharacteristically grim turn and gives Ichiko a brief but severe breakdown.
• Lack of Empathy: As long as he can achieve his goal of reviving Kanna, Ikari has no qualms murdering gods and humans along the way, or even plunging "his woman", Ichiko, into despair.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: His face is rather feminine-looking and his hair reaches his feet.
• Love Makes You Evil: All his villainy is motivated by his love for Kanna and how much he misses her. The "garden" he seeks to make is in reality a heaven where gods nor humans can hurt them.

• Not So Above It All: Even the dead serious Big Bad has his silly moments. He even took time to school Ichiko and Keita on their awkward puppy-love phase.
• Opposites Attract: With Kanna. He was abrasive, cynical, and Born Unlucky, as opposed to Kanna who was kind, idealistic, and Born Lucky. Ikari could only be happy with Kanna because her fortune energy cancelled his misfortune energy.
• Pet the Dog: Contrasting the Kick the Dog, upon seeing Ichiko crying at the shattered Botan he says that if she is worth crying over then Ichiko should take care of her and restores the shattered soul gem. Combined, the two add up to someone with skewed but ambiguous values. He still keeps the ribbon that she needs to actually manifest in human form because he wants to keep as much of Kanna's stuff as possible.
• Pop-Cultured Badass: When his jewel necklace is removed, he directly compares it to Son Goku removing the Kame Sen'nin's shell and uses Power Levels speech when comparing himself to the heroes. Keita lampshades this by calling Ikari a Shonen Jump fan.
• Prematurely Grey-Haired: His black hair turned white as a result of the trauma of losing Kanna.
• Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: Ikari is the main villain in the later parts of the series. He originally had white skin and dark hair, but he turned dark-skinned and white-haired due to Hanabishi transferring some of her misfortune energy to him and Kana sacrificing herself to give him her fortune energy.
• Touched by Vorlons: He became a god after Kanna sacrificed herself by releasing all of her fortune energy to save him.
• Tragic Keepsake: After disposing of Botan, he holds on to her ribbon form because it was a possession of Kanna. He also keeps Kanna's kimono.
• Tragic Villain: He was a lonely and terribly unlucky man who only wanted to be by the side of the only woman who ever loved him. By sheer misfortune, that woman died to save his life and inadvertently made him an immortal god in the process. Not bearing to live out eternity without his love, Ikari wants to overwrite Kanna's reincarnation's mind with Kanna's and wipe out the entire population of Butsumetsu City to create a paradise for only him and Kanna.
• Traumatic Haircut: Kanna once tried to cut Ikari's Barbarian Longhair with a sword and some kids hugged her by surprise, resulting in his current Anime Hair.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: His ultimate plan is to create an ideal garden overflowing with fortune energy and throw it to an alternate dimension where he and a resurrected Kanna can live in everlasting happiness as a God Couple. He intends to turn Butsumetsu City into the garden by using a process of divinification, which will consequently kill all the humans residing the city.
