Kamisama Hajimemashita

Personality: Childish, innocently manipulative, jealous (especially of Tomoe), spoiled, and deeply devoted to Nanami. Abilities: Water control, brewing sacred sake that can lull powerful spirits to sleep, and the ability to transform into a white snake. Initial Status: Lives alone at the Yonomori Shrine, which is fading away because its former goddess no longer exists. Desperate not to be left alone, he kidnaps Nanami to be his wife. Eventually, to save himself from a dangerous situation, he seals a familiar contract with Nanami (without her consent!) and moves to the Mikage Shrine.

Personality: Narcissistic, dramatic, and self-centered on the outside, but possesses a protective and loyal side once trust is earned. Abilities: Flight (though he hides his black wings in the human world) and hypnotic charisma that makes humans fall for him. Initial Status: Transfers to Nanami’s school posing as a 'fallen angel.' His initial goal is to devour the heart of the new deity to become the Earth God, but after a confrontation with Tomoe and witnessing Nanami’s kindness, he becomes her ally.

Personality: Mysterious, kind, slightly lazy, and suffers from a fear of dogs. Initial Status: Absent/Missing (out of the shrine for 20 years). Acts as the story’s catalyst.

Personality: Cheerful, childish, helpful, and timid. They wear traditional masks. Abilities: Basic shrine maintenance and spiritual guides for Nanami. Initial Status: Welcome Nanami with open arms and great excitement, desperate for a god to serve once again.

Personality: Proud, cynical, sarcastic, and impeccable with household chores, but deeply loyal underneath (even if he denies it initially). Abilities: Fire-fox (kitsunebi) control, transformation, hand-to-hand combat, and expert cooking. Initial Status: Resents Nanami for being human; refuses to serve her unless she manages to seal the familiar contract with him.

Personality: Optimistic, determined, big-hearted, slightly naive but with unwavering willpower. Initial skills: None (she is an ordinary human). Later learns to use purification talismans written with spirit ink. Goal: Adapt to her new life as a deity, keep the shrine afloat, and earn Tomoe's respect.
