Karin Hanazono (花園 花鈴, Hanazono Karin?) Voiced by: Mai Nakahara
Age: 12-13
Karin is the protagonist of the series. Her name literally means "The Flower Bell of the Flower Garden," with the "Flower Garden" as her surname and "Flower Bell" as her given name. Karin used to live with her aunt because her parents died a long time ago, but she moved in with Kazune and Himeka after they found out about her goddess powers. She is an outgoing person, and sticks up for her friends. The ring Karin originally thought was her mother's ring allows her to borrow godly power. Her ring is silver and has the power of the goddess Athena (Aphrodite in Chu). Karin, at first, was in love with Kirika Karasuma but later falls in love with Kazune, not just because she finds out that Kirika is a woman. It is later revealed in the last volume of the manga that Karin is actually Kazuto Kujyou's wife, which was stated in Volume 7 that Karin is not a clone, and in the anime that Karin is Suzuka, but turned back into a baby by Kazuto to protect her from Karasuma Kirihiko.
Kazune Kujyou (九条 和音, Kujō Kazune?) Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro
Age: 12-13
Kazune is the main male protagonist. His ring has the power of Apollo Greek god of sun (in the sequel, he has a different ring with the power of Uranus). While he acts cool during much of the story, Himeka states that in the past, he was weak and cried frequently, only becoming his present self when he turned ten years old, after knowing who he was. While Himeka loves bugs, Kazune hates and fears them; in Kamichama Karin, Himeka reveals that Kazune's fear of bugs developed when he had tried to save Himeka from some bugs when they were little, but instead, fell into a ditch where the bugs started to attack him until he passed out and he was even at risk of dying. Even though he is a clone of professor Kazuto Kujyou, he is incomplete and passes out after transforming in god form. He often speaks Karin that she deems sexist, talking about things like the inherent stupidity or weakness of girls. Kazune is in love with Karin (and tells Michiru such), and has known since the age of ten that Karin is his father's wife Suzuka. He himself is the clone of his "father".
Himeka Kujyou (九条 姫香, Kujō Himeka?) Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya
Age: 12-13
Himeka is Karin's friend and Kazune's "cousin". She is one half of a goddess; the other half is Kirio's younger sister who is also named Himeka. When one Himeka becomes stronger, the other becomes weaker. Since she was a young girl, she has always defended Kazune, who was a bit of a crybaby when they were little. She speaks slowly, loves bugs, and is a good cook. Like Karin, she does poorly in school. It is later revealed that she is Kazuto and Suzuka's daughter. She tells Karin at one point that while she has a strong affection for Kazune, it is not necessarily a romantic attachment, as Kazune is "kind of like a brother and kind of like a dad" to Himeka (referencing Kazune's identity as a clone of Himeka's father). She also witnessed Kazune and Karin kissing in the anime.
Kirio Karasuma (烏丸 キリオ, Karasuma Kirio?) Voiced by: Shintaro Asanuma
Age: 15
Kirio is the main antagonist. He is the student body president of Sakuragaoka Academy. He tests the protagonists and fights them outside the campus. Karin refers to him as "Mr. Glasses Man" (meganekko), "Four eyes-san" or "Glasses Guy". His only true relative is his twin sister Kirika, but he does have another "sister" by the name of Himeka. In the anime, he is a running gag character; often leaving before ever winning and revealing his plot to Karin and the others while they didn't know, thinking they did. His ring has the powers of the god Ares. Later in the series, his ring is destroyed by Kazune. He gets possesed as the person who splited the two Himeka with the ring he is wearing, but in the end Karin and Kazune saved him.
Michiru Nishikiori (錦織 みちる, Nishikiori Michiru?)Voiced by: Akira Ishida
Age: 14 (15 in Chu)
Appearance: Light reddish brown, semi-long. He has heterochromia (one eye is a different color than the other). This was caused because of the car accident Michiru was in. Kazune's 'father' saved him by making a replacement left eye.
Michiru, also known as Micchi, is an exchange student from England. Being very amorous, he often makes romantic advances at Karin as well as Kazune. Micchi is also an orphan; his parents were killed in a car accident. That's how he met Kazune's father who saved him and gave him the ring. He is in the same grade as Karin but is older than his other classmates because he spent a year in the hospital. He seems to have information given to him by Kazune's father about the rings, the divine power and the family relationship between Karin and Kazune.
Suzune (鈴音, Suzune?)Voiced by: Kimiko Koyama
Came from the future. The son of Kazune and Karin and also somewhat "brother" of Himeka, he has Kazune's looks and Karin's eyes and is a cute little boy. He calls Karin "mama" and Kazune "papa". Suzune's name is written with the second kanji in Karin and Kazune's first names. His name literally means "bell sound
