Katsuragi Keima

Interests: Bishōjo games (Gal games) and 2D girls

Hates: All Real girls, reality, sweets

Keima Katsuragi, the protagonist of the anime and Manga The World God Only Knows (Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai).

 

He is a 17-year-old high school student attending Maijima High School Academy. At an early age, he acquired an obsessive interest in video games and known in the Gaming World as  "The Capturing God (Otoshi-gami) for his legendary skills in capturing" any girls in dating sims and his walktrough  and advising internet site.

 

In contrast of the previous in the Real World he is called otamegane (a derogatory portmanteau of the two words otaku and megane(glasses)) by almost everyone in his school due to his extreme devotion to videogames.

 

Despite himself saying he likes girls, it's the perfectly theoretical and beautiful girls of the game world that he prefers, not the girls in reality. His love for games is such that he even goes into withdrawal if he doesn't play games enough and he has the bad habit of locking himself in his room and playing games for many days straight when he's depressed.

Keima is  a collaborator (non-voluntary) that catches runaway spirits, this happens when he replies to an instigative e-mail to his mail address in his PFP (otoshi-god@zumcities.co.jp) requesting his help to "capture" girls without knowing it to conquer real girs and that it was a contract from hell.

 

For each individual of the "Capture Targets" (a girl with the runaway spirit in her) Keima utilizes his analytical skills and experiences from dating sims to "capture" them.

 

When he has figured out the final push needed to "capture" a girl (in both reality and games), he says the catchphrase "I can already see the ending".

Also, despite the fact he even plays video games in class, he is still at the top of class in every subject.

During a scolding of a teacher for his gaming habits, Keima reasoned that all would be fine as long as he aced all his exams; he then proceeded to do so, demonstrating a great academic ability.

It is shown that Keima's analytical skills he utilises to "capture" girls is also applied by him in his studies, proven true when he flawlessly predicted the questions on the upcoming English test based on the teacher's personality and the examination extent. As the story progresses, his perspective of the Real World girls becomes different.

 

Nevertheless, he remains faithful to his "2D girls
His mastery and devotion to girl games was revealed to be way higher above than just average otakus.

He is able to play six game at the same time with each of different screens with the activation of his Capturing God Mode'.

 

 He frequently does lengthy lecture on various archetypes of characters and philosophies on capturing girls. However, he is completely ignorant to everything else, including real girls and their body, foods and even his own life.
