Hokenshitsu no Shinigami/Characters
The Main Characters
Hades Itsuhito
A 26-year old male School Nurse. A lot of his past is mysterious, but so far we understand that he has been affected by byouma, and it was through the help of two friends and his teacher Mitogawa-sensei, now principal of the school, that he got through the dark times.
- Berserk Button: As stated on the main page, threatening people in front of Hades is not a good idea.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Overlaps with above trope.
- Chaste Hero: He can't seem to realize how many girls are looking at him with 'those' eyes...
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Most of the student body thinks he's a Shinigami. Or a demon. Or both.
- Mysterious Past
- No Sense of Personal Space - Several people have complained about this
- Unwanted Harem: It's beginning to develop like this yes...
- White-Haired Pretty Boy - Subverted. Hard.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He can be pretty badass when he wants to, but he's more of a moron most of the times.
Ashitaba Iku
A shy, quiet boy, he also is shown to hold the best thinker of the group, easily connecting events in his head to come up with who is the current byouma holder. He is physically weak, but manages to Unfazed Everyman his way through situations. He is often dragged out by Kaburagi to investigate Hades-sensei.
So far, out of all of the main children characters he is the only one that hasn't received a disease demon.
- Apologizes a Lot
- Cowardly Lion - In spades.
- Supporting Protagonist - Ashitaba and Hades tend to jock for main character position, but in the end Hades wins.
Fuji Rokusuke
A Brilliant but Lazy person in the flesh. He even told Hades that he would get sick and die unless he played hooky twice a week. He is considered the hottest kid in school, and is extremely rich. Too bad he's just not interested in girls... His disease demon was 'Lazy' where one drives out all emotions into clones that will tend to their body.
- Brilliant but Lazy
- Bishounen
- Character Tics - He has a habit of sticking a finger in his ear.
- No Social Skills - He doesn't socially interact with others.
- Unwanted Harem: The whole female student body pretty much wants to marry him. He finds it annoying.
Mimisaka Rentarou
A fat guy that wants to be a lady killer, and unfortunately for him, the ladies want nothing to do with him. Although he seems completely self absorbed, is a coward and claims credit for things he doesn't do, you'll regret it if you ever threaten his friends. Byouma: ‘Narcissist’ Using hypnotic pollen to numb the nerves, it steals vitality from beautiful humans’ faces and converts it into its own beauty.
- A Lady on Each Arm - subverted so hard- he dreams about it, but all the girls don't like him...
- Pet the Dog - Rescuing Motoyoshi from bullies.
- Heterosexual Life Partners - With Motoyoshi Motoyoshi on the other hand...
Kaburagi Kaeshiba 'Shinya'
A girl that can take on a SWAT team with nothing more then her bare fists and win. She's the master of fighting, and is the generally the fighter out of the main character group. She tries to act more feminine though, after a boy rejected her in primary school because he didn't like tomboys Byouma: ‘Provoke’ This byouma stimulates the provocative hormones in a human body and only works on males. People affected by this hormone lose their memory and consciousness and finally fight with each other.
- Action Girl: As stated before, she tries to hide it but often fails hilariously to do so.
- Lethal Chef: Her chocolate is mistaken coal, and when she tried to make bentos, her brother had no idea what she was doing.
- Tsundere: For Hades. Thank goodness it's unrequited.
- Well, actually she is more like Kuudere, since she didn't act violently toward Hades.
- Tomboy: Now less than before, though she continues to follow karate lessons but refers to them as 'piano' lessons.
- Tomboyish Nickname: She is called Shinya by her friends, which is a male name.
- Why Did It Have To Be Spiders
Hanamaki Miku
14 years old, and a shy girl. She carries around a notebook that she carefully writes down all of her plans within. Byouma: ‘Chicken’ Afraid of failure and frustration, they can create a place that people have never experienced. Therefore if they are successful, it is said they can give a human life without failure. She was also caught up in a second disease demon, which switched her with another character in a Freaky Friday Flip.
Mitogawa
The principal of the highschool, and Hades' teacher when he was younger. She has a tendency to wear Gothic Lolita dresses, and Hades claims her appearance hasn't changed in 10 years.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita
- Blue with Shock: This happened when Hades discovered a certain something in his locker.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Older Than They Look
Motoyoshi
Smart, nonathletic, has a penchant for sharp pointy objects, gets into Jealous Boyfriend Mode whenever Mimisaka doesn't pay attention to him... Oh yeah, did we mention he's really odd as well?
Byouma: ‘Jealousy’ It thirsts for love, it hungers for love. A passionate incarnation of a woman who has lost sight of real love. Things that stimulate jealousy turn everyone into a grieved demon.
Yasuda Mitsuhiro
In several words: Pervert, self-centered, and unable to learn a lesson. So far he has acquired several disease demons, and attempted to use all of them for peeking. Byouma: First one is Peeping, which took his right eye out of its socket and allowed the eye to move freely, and he could see through it. The second is ‘Mother Guard’ which allows him to blend into his surroundings.
- Idol Otaku: He's an avid fan of AKY 109, a young female singer.
Saizaki Minori
Gym teacher, big boobed, tsundere queen… any more fetish material we’re missing out here? She’s strict, iron-willed, an ice queen to the extreme, but only on the outside. Inside she is actually worried about what others think of her. She has a crush on Hades. Byouma: Once again unnamed, but it was probably ‘Protection’ as it took control of something human-like and went to punish bad children by zapping them.
- Tsundere: She often beat the crap out of Hades because of small misunderstanding, then panicked and thinking so hard about how to apologize to him.
Kaburagi Touya
Shinya's bespectacled little brother. Embarrassed by his older sister. Byouma: In a curious case, he himself wasn’t caught by the disease demon, but was instead caught by another using it. The byouma was ‘Escape’ where you’re sent to a virtual world where you can do anything.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Older Siblings- he perceives his older sister as this. Aww, look at him blush.
- Tsundere - when it comes to his sister.
Senoo Ryuuki
A hotheaded delinquent from Hira middle school, who came to challenge Shinya in the name of his brother. He graduated and became a first year at their school, in the same class as Touya, and joined the Stays-At-the-Infirmary group. Kind of likes Shinya. Respects Ashitaba. His disease demon was 'Stoic', which controls sexual desire, and carries out a punishment on any women it deems promiscuous. It was literally punched out of him by Shinya.
- He-Man Woman Hater (exception: Shinya)
- Delinquent
- Hot-Blooded

- Animal Eyes: She got slitted pupils
- Peek-a-Bangs: One of her eyes is always covered.
- Lipstick Lesbian: While she is(probably) lesbian, she looks very feminine.
