Kamisama Kazoku (Japanese: 神様家族 Hepburn: lit. God Family?) is an anime series based on a series of light novels by Yoshikazu Kuwashima, which premiered May 18, 2006 in Japan across the anime satellite television network Animax. The original light novel series has concluded with eight volumes; however, a sequel light novel series titled Kamisama Kazoku Z (神様家族Z?) was released on January 25, 2008.
Samatarou Kamiyama is the son of a god and must live in the human world with his family to learn about them, in order to become a better god when the time comes to succeed his father. His closest friend is Tenko, Samatarou's guardian angel since birth. One day he falls for Kumiko Komori, a girl who just transferred to their school, and decides to win her heart without relying on any of his relatives' godly powers, oblivious to the fact that Tenko herself has a crush on him.
A manga adaptation was serialized in Comic Flapper and illustrated by Tapari. Go! Comi announced that it has licensed the manga series during Anime Expo 2007.
In 2006, Kamisama Kazoku was adapted into a 13-episode anime television series which began airing on Animax from May 18, 2006 to August 10, 2006. Two pieces of theme music were used through the series, "Brand New Morning" by Mai Mizuhashi for the opening theme and "Toshokan de wa Oshiete Kurenai, Tenshi no Himitsu" (図書館では教えてくれない、天使の秘密?) by Miraku (Mai Mizuhashi, Mayu Kudō, and Fumika Iwaki) for the closing theme.
