Yuki Shiomiya Biography & Facts

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. Main characters Keima Katsuragi Voiced by: Hiro Shimono (Japanese); Chris Patton (English) 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 fall in love with Chihiro, although he coldly rejects her. He tearfully apologizes later about rejecting her though not to her face. In the last chapter, he finally reveals his true feelings to her. Wakaki depicts Keima as good at all sorts of games, some of which is due to the fact that many of them are mini-game subsets of his girl games.[ch. 20,47,77,104]. Although he rarely pays attention in class, and has low physical endurance, he scores top marks, much to his teachers' frustrations.[ch. 11,12] Wakaki notes that Keima's name is derived from the term "gamer". Elsie Voiced by: Kanae Itō (Japanese); Luci Christian (English) Elcea de Rux Ima (エリュシア・デ・ルート・イーマ, Eryushia de Lūte Īma, also Elysia de Lute Ima), known mainly as Elsie (エルシィ, Erushii), is a Spirit Hunter demon assigned to Keima to capture loose souls.[ch. 1] In order to watch over him, she pretends to be Keima's illegitimate sister.[ch. 2,6] She wears a skull-shaped hair ornament that alerts her to the presence of loose souls.[ch. 1] She wears a hagoromo (羽衣), a multi-purpose shawl-like raiment that she can use to change her appearance,[ch. 1] turn herself and others invisible,[ch. 19] or reshape objects.[ch. 3,44] She travels with a broom, and prides herself on her cleaning abilities, which she learned prior to joining the squad.[ch. 2] Like Keima, she wears a collar and is also bound to Dokuro Skull's contract conditions.[ch. 1] Despite being over 300 years old, she has a sweet, pure and innocent personality and often acts childishly. She is clumsy and easily distracted, especially by fire trucks, so Keima considers her unreliable.[ch. 1,23,24] However, her friendliness and cheerful nature allows her to make friends with the girls.[ch. 42,54] In the final story arc, she reveals that she is the "final boss", a powerful monster that was periodically awakened in the past to spread mayhem. New Hell's rebel faction wanted to use her to once again to wreak havoc on the Earth and Satyr desired to control her. However, Dokuro hid her from the enemy factions by giving her a human body and assigning her to Earth, where she grew to love the human world.[ch. 266] After Keima saves the world, he tells her to do as she wishes. Wanting to stay with Keima, she chooses her "true ending" and becomes his real sister.[ch. 267] Haqua Voiced by: Saori Hayami (Japanese); Jessica Boone (Season 2), Jessica Calvello (Season 3, OVAs) (English) Haqua du Lot Herminium or Haqua d'rot Herminium (ハクア・ド・ロット・ヘルミニウム, Hakua do Lotto Heruminiumu)[vol. 4:omake], a former classmate of Elsie's and the District Chief Spirit Hunter of Area 32 in Nagumo City.[ch. 22] She has a strong academic background,[ch. 22] but has found the professional world extremely difficult to dominate in the same way. She is introduced in a story where she is hunting down a Loose Soul that she was responsible for unleashing. She becomes frustrated in her efforts to capture it and the Loose Soul possesses her. Fortunately Elsie is able to free her, after some encouragement from Keima.[ch. 24-26] As a Spirit Hunter, she has a skull-shaped hair ornament and magical raiment like Elsie's, but instead of a broom, she wields a 'Scythe of Testament', an award for being valedictorian of her class.[ch. 25] Her human partner, much to her dismay when compared to Keima, is Yukie Marui, a 54-year-old saleswoman.[ch. 47,48] Keima occasionally uses Haqua to get a better understanding of demons, their history, and his own plight[ch. 47,105] and occasionally entrusts her with confidential information that Elsie would not understand. Although she is annoyed by Keima's odd behavior and personality, Haqua seems to develop feelings for him. In a 2012 Biglobe poll of favorite tsundere characters, Haqua ranked 15. When she is embarrassed by Keima, she usually retaliates with physical harm.[ch. 25,26] One of the recurring gags with Haqua is that Keima has walked in on her while she is in the bathroom or vice versa,[ch. 48,73,121] which results in Keima being hurt.[ch. 73,121] While Elsie pretends to be Kanon Nakagawa during the search for the Jupiter Sisters, Haqua teams up with Keima and pretends to be Elsie at school.[ch. 118] In a meeting of Spirit Hunter district chiefs, Haqua raises a question regarding the mandate to capture the Goddesses, and then asks Dokuro Skull for help.[ch. 150-151] She is then arrested by Vintage loyalists,[ch. 152] who interrogate her then detain her for treason.[ch. 156] She is removed from her position as district chief position which is given to Lune. Haqua is rescued by Dokuro, who smuggles her back to the human world to help Keima.[ch. 160,161] She saves Keima, Ayumi, and Chihiro from a Vintage attack[ch. 175,176] and then fights Lune to give Keima time to complete his conquest of Ayumi.[ch. 184-187] After the Jupiter Sisters are all revealed, and Apollo is revived, she is reinstated as a district chief.[ch. 191] Wakaki originally planned for Haqua to be more overbearing, but changed it so she "encourages the low-ranking girl". Wakaki based her on his experiences a.... Discover the Yuki Shiomiya popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Yuki Shiomiya books.
