List of The World God Only Knows characters


The The World God Only Knows manga and anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Tamiki Wakaki.

The main protagonist is Keima Katsuragi, a video game player who teams up with Elsie, a Spirit Hunter Demon, to capture spirits hiding in girls at his high school, Maijima High. Fourteen of the characters were named after stations in the Kintetsu train system. In September 2014, Kintetsu had a promotion where they issued special tickets bearing the characters' images.

Keima Katsuragi (桂木 桂馬 Katsuragi Keima?), a 17-year-old high school student at Maijima Academy, is known on the Internet and in gaming circles as The Capturing God (落とし神 Otoshi-gami?) because of his exceptional skills and experience in "capturing" (winning over) virtual girls in dating sims and gal games (galge) (ギャルゲーム gyaru gēmu?) However, in real life, he is called otamegane (オタメガネ?) (a portmanteau of otaku (オタク?) and megane (メガネ?, glasses)), where he immerses himself in the game world and declares that he is only attracted to the virtual games within it. Whenever he faces danger, he prioritizes saving his game.[ch. 1] At the start of the series, he accepts a request to help conquer girls, and inadvertently finds himself contractually bound to capture Loose Souls (駆け魂 Kaketama?, spirits),[ch. 1] which reside in the hearts of real girls, or he will be beheaded.[ch. 1] The bulk of the series follows his adventures in capturing such girls, where he tries different scenarios from his girl games. After Keima has captured over a dozen girls, he is asked by Diana to find her sisters among the girls, with the incentive that they can re-seal the Loose Souls and fulfill his otherwise impossible contract.[ch. 80,81] His search is accelerated when his classmate Kanon Nakagawa is injured by a Vintage assassin.[ch. 118,119]He eventually fell in love with Chihiro after a long time, although he dismiss this before he start to realize he wasting out her love for her and start to cry thinking he cannot undo his mistake, though he confess it in the last chapter finally revealing out his true feelings to her.
