CHARACTERS
Lala Satalin Deviluke (ララ・サタリン・デビルーク, Rara Satarin Debirūku?) Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu
The female protagonist. Lala is the princess of Deviluke. Lala is somewhat naive as she doesn't notice the fact that some characters look lecherously at her. (Such as the principal) She ran away from home so she doesn't have to get married. She uses many self-made inventions. At first she was pretending to love Rito to keep from getting married, but she eventually fell in love with him. Lala isn't shy at all, (Excluding one chapter where Lala had a illness that caused her to have an extremely cute, and shy personality) to the point where she doesn't care if she gets naked in front of Rito. Like all people from Deviluke she has physical abilities far beyond that of a human and also has a distinctive tail that comes from her back. It is very sensitive causing her friends to nickname it as her "weakness" and tease it every so often, much to her dismay. In the recent chapters of the manga, it is shown that her tail is capable of firing a destructive beam. According to Ringo Yūki (Rito's mother) in Chapter 60, Lala's measurements are the following: B:(Breast) 89. W: (Waist) 57. H: (Hips) 87.

Rito Yuuki (結城 リト, Yūki Rito?) Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe
The male protagonist. He is a 15 year old high-school student who has a big crush on Haruna Sairenji. His father is a manga writer and is very different when compared to Rito in terms of both looks and personality. Rito's mother is a fashion designer and a scout for models who is often away from home; Rito seems to take after her in looks, though her personality is equally as odd as her husband's as she has a tendency to start sizing women up with her hands. Rito used to be on the soccer team in junior high, but he quit because he was constantly helping his father with manga. His younger sister Mikan comments he's very good at "useless little things" like crane games. Rito shows signs of developing deeper feelings to Lala throughout the story. This is shown when Rito desperately attempted to capture the pervert who was planning on taking pictures of Lala and Haruna, and when he searched for a whole day (and night) for Lala when she went to Haruna's house. In the latest chapter, Rito said that he probably loved Lala, but also stated that he didn't know if what he was feeling was love. His hairstyle resembles Train Heartnet's, the main character of Yabuki's Black Cat.

Haruna Sairenji (西連寺 春菜, Sairenji Haruna?) Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi
One of Rito's school mates and object of Rito's affection. Haruna has similar feelings for Rito. She lives with her older sister in an apartment and has a severe fear of ghosts and supernatural things. When frightened, she has a habit of grabbing Rito and using him to bat away whatever is scaring her. She seems to be developing feelings for Rito, only she doesn't know it yet. Recently, Haruna has become more comfortable regarding Rito touching her in any way, (As long as it is appropriate) stating that it "feels good". Recently it is found out that she does love Rito yet she still can't confess as she knows that Lala likes Rito. Her hairstyle resembles Saya Minatsuki's.

Golden Darkness (金色の闇, Konjiki no Yami?) Voiced by: Misato Fukuen
Called Yami-chan by Lala; an assassin who does not show a lot of emotion, hired by Lala's fiance candidate Lacospo (ラコスポ, Rakosupo?). A running gag in the series often finds Rito accidentally groping her as a result of some other incident. Since she has stated that she hates "ecchi" people, this results in Rito getting beaten up. Recently, she is suspected to have developed some slight feelings for Rito and seems to refrain from attacking him with her ability to transform her hair into pointed objects, so that she doesn't kill him. (Although she does this with the perverted principal of Rito's school on rare occasions.) Instead, she substitutes with a large metal fist. She likes Earth clothes and food, especially Taiyaki as she hints that it is the only thing she's eaten while on Earth. Coincidentally, when Rito and Yami first encountered each other, Rito bought her Taiyaki when he noticed she was hungry. In the latest chapter it is hinted that she underwent "reconstructive surgery" though the cause has yet to be mentioned. It is also hinted she has a history with Ryouko Mikado. Also in chapter 97 it is hinted that she is insecure about her bust size and is willing to use her powers to make herself have larger breasts

Of particular note is Yami's similarity to Eve from Black Cat in appearance and ability. The two even share the same voice actress (Misato Fukuen) in CD/animated renditions of the Yabuki series.

Mikan Yuuki (結城 美柑, Yūki Mikan?) Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa
Rito's independent and reliable younger sister, Mikan takes care of the house while their parents are away on business. In contrast to her older brother she is very mature for her age and grade though she doesn't hesitate to tease him. She may not show it, but she very deeply cares for Rito, and misses his company and how they used to play together before Lala entered their lives, but Rito manages to cheer her up (with Lala's help). She has also grown somewhat attached to Golden Darkness, perhaps due to Darkness (seemingly) being the same age as Mikan. Mikan seems to be able to read people's emotions (Or reactions), the only time she showed this, was in the chapter 97, how Mikan noticed how Kotegawa seemed to have feelings for Rito, and even called Rito a "Playboy".

Yui Kotegawa (古手川 唯, Kotegawa Yui?) Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka
A high-strung girl placed in the same class as Rito, Lala and Haruna in their junior year. She has no tolerance for anythings that she does not consider acceptable behavior. Her haughty opinions, quick temper, and habit of speaking her mind often results in her vocally reprimanding people who are acting 'inappropriately'. She quickly grows annoyed and disgusted by the weirdness and bizarre actions involving her classmates, particularly with regards to Rito and Lala. Unfortunately for Yui, every encounter with Rito usually ends up in a situation that gets her embarrassed. Lately, however, Yui has begun to show feelings for Rito, but something bizarre or weird usually ends up ruining the moment. However, in chapter 86, (Oh my little Sister) Rito saved Yui from being molested by a group of hoodlums, which led to Yui looking at Rito in a different light. Yui even let the fact that Rito 'casually touched her boobs' (When in reality, she fell on him, and ended in one of the many embarrassing situations with each other. Although, she didn't show it.) slide over because she was so happy that Rito saved her. She has recently begun calling Rito with the Japanese suffix "Kun." (She calls him Yuuki-kun.) But when Rito would do something to anger her, she would plainly call him Yuuki. But this may be because of a translation error.

Peke (, Peke?)
Lala's all costume robot who normally acts a dress for Lala to wear outdoors. He was created by Lala and is very devoted to her to the point of telling her to not fail at any kind of competition. Peke has the ability to shapeshift into any kind of clothing for Lala to wear, but that ability also drains his power supply. As his batteries run out, the clothing that Lala is wearing at the moment will slowly dissolve until it completely disappears. The clothes will disappear immediately if Peke falls off Lala and that has actually happened on more than one occasion.

Minor Characters
Gid Lucione Deviluke (ギド・ルシオン・デビルーク, Gido Rushion Debirūku?)
King of Deviluke, emperor of the galaxy, and father of Lala. Despite his immense power, he has the physical appearance of a child and is a huge pervert. Lala claims the only reason he wants her to get married is so he can hand over his throne and be free to pursue his perverted hobbies.

Nana Asta Deviluke (ナナ・アスタ・デビルーク, Nana Asuta Debirūku?) and Momo Velia Deviluke (モモ・ベリア・デビルーク, Momo Beria Debirūku?)

Lala's twin younger sisters who first appeared in chapter 97. They trapped most of the characters in a virtual game world created by Lala before the virtual reality arc.They seem to want to test Rito's affection for Lala. Nana seems to be the more mischievous while Momo seems to be more calm.

Zastin (ザスティン, Zasutin?) Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu
Lala's personal bodyguard and the best swordsman of the planet Deviluke. He is currently Assistant Chief to Rito's father who is a manga writer due to an incident caused by Lala. He bears a passing resemblance to Creed Diskenth from Black Cat. Despite his skill with a sword, he has a horrible sense of direction, resulting in him being constantly lost (another running gag in the series). He is often on the receiving end of many negative events or on-goings in the series (such as, all ways being hit by on-coming trains; yet another gag in the series), and seems to have very bad luck, all together. Recently he has shown an interest in doing manga professionally.

Ryouko Mikado (御門 涼子, Mikado Ryouko?)
The school doctor who also happens to be alien (she has pointed ears). She dresses rather provocatively even when on the job and helps out aliens on Earth in various manners, usually those dealing with medical care.

Saruyama (猿山健一, Saruyama?) Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino
Perverted male best friend of Rito.

Saki Tenjōin (天条院 沙姫, Tenjōin Saki?) Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi
The arrogant queen bee of the school, she consistently tries to one-up Lala only to get herself further embarrassed. Eventually she gains a crush on Zastin only to be horrified at the thought that he is in service to Lala, this however has made her very determined to win his heart at any cost.

Risa Momioka (籾岡 里紗, Risa Momioka?) Voiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki and Mio Sawada (沢田 未央, Mio Sawada?) Voiced by: Chiemi Chiba
Mischievous best friends of Haruna. Risa is known for groping other girl's breasts and has a bit of a resemblance to Saki. Her favorite person to grope is Haruna.

Rin Kujō (九条 凛, Rin Kujō?) Voiced by: Mai Hashimoto and Aya Fujisaki (藤崎 綾, Aya Fujisaki?) Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi
Saki's loyal and assisting friends.

Motemitsu (, Motemitsu?)
The best pitcher on the baseball team at Rito's school and an arrogant womanizer. If a new girl comes to the school, Motemitsu will most likely try anything cool to get them to go on a date with him, but gets turned down almost immediately. The only three known girls he's after are (in order), Lala, Yami (she cuts off most of his top hair afterwards), and Ren. Motemitsu is also greatly admired by the guys and they are almost always cheering him on whether he succeeds or fails. It is also shown that Motemitsu is a big pervert in chapter 13 when he took sneak shots of girls changing, but was caught after an accident from Rito and Lala caused him and the photos to land right in front of all the girls at the pool. He also keeps a personal record of every girl in the school with him.

Ren Elsie Jewelria (レン・エルシ・ジュエリア, Ren Erushi Jueria?) Voiced by: Fuyuka Ōura
A childhood friend of Lala, infamously known for wearing girl clothing during his play dates with Lala. At first he arrives on Earth to win back Lala by proving he is "man enough" for her, but soon becomes jealous due to her relationship with Rito. Due to his pursuit of Lala, he accidentally gives Rito his first kiss. However, while the male Ren regretted this, it had an unexpected consequence towards his "other side". As Ren is from Planet Memorze (メモルゼ, Memoruze?), he can change gender in both mind and body upon sneezing, though they seem to share memories; as a girl she goes by the name Run (ルン, Run?). Run is in love with Rito due to the kiss and blames Lala for all her problems, while Ren is in competition (albeit rather one sided) with him for Lala's hand in marriage.

Saibai Yuuki (結城 才培, Yūki Saibai?)
Rito's father and manga artist. He draws at amazing speeds and can be serious at times of work, but seems to have a bit of a goofy side to him as well. Indications are: him making a joke about Rito and Lala "sleeping" together every night and punching Rito when he got drunk and thought Rito was a robber.

Ringo Yuuki (結城 林檎, Yūki Ringo?)
Rito's mother and a fashion designer. Normally working overseas, she came back to town in chapter 60 to check up on her family. Ringo seems to take her work very seriously as she almost immediately got into "work-mode" when she saw Lala for the first time. She then left again for work. It is quite clear that Rito takes after her in appearance.

Oshizu Murasamu (村雨静, Oshizu-Murasame?)
The ghost of a girl that died in the old abandoned school building 400 years ago. She is sincere, kind, and very curious about the modern world, but has a severe fear of dogs. Since her meeting with Rito and others, she has begun to explore the world outside the old school building. Currently, it is unknown whether or not she has any romantic feelings for Rito. Later on, she finds out about Haruna's crush on Rito when she accidentally possesses Haruna. Due to this encounter, Oshizu becomes very supportive towards cheering Haruna onto confessing her feelings to Rito. Recently in chapter 89, she has "returned" to the living after Mikado sensei made an artificial body for Oshizu. This body has realistic qualities (looking and feeling like an actual body), but Oshizu still doesn't know how to walk properly due to her long time being dead. Also, she sents out massive blasts of mental stress whenever she's frightened and the blasts can cause any nearby objects to blow apart, like Risa's top flying off and flashing Rito.

Yu Kotegawa (古手川 遊, Kotegawa Yu?)
Yui's older brother who is 19 years old. He is a ladies' man, and usually topless at home, which Yui greatly dislikes. In chapter 86, after finding Rito and Yui being chased by hoodlums, he beats them up, commenting that he hopes Yui would get to be more mature.
