LIST OF HAYATE THE COMBAT BUTLER CHARACTERS
AYASAKI HOUSEHOLDHayate Ayasaki (綾崎 ハヤテ Ayasaki Hayate)Voiced by: Ryōko ShiraishiHayate is the main male protagonist 16-year-old butler of the Sanzenin family, and is later the owner. Hayate Ayasaki has had to work to support his parents' bad habits since the age of nine, always moving from job to job, before he was found out to be underage. The experience gained does mean, however, that of all the characters, he possesses the most extensive practical knowledge of how the world operates. Hayate's dad has refused to get employed, while his mother is a compulsive gambler, and the whereabouts of Hayate's older brother, Ikusa, are unknown. These events led to their bankruptcy—they abandon Hayate attempt to sell his organs to the Yakuza to ease their financial burdens on Christmas Eve, a debt of 156,804,000 yen. With not many choices left to him, Hayate conspired to kidnap someone to get ransom money. He found a girl, Nagi Sanzenin, and told her that he would kidnap her. However, Nagi mistook his words for his confession of love, so he was later employed as Nagi's new butler. In the beginning of the story, Hayate often mentioned Nello and Patrasche from the novel A Dog of Flanders, and compared his miserable situation to the characters' life. In Kocchi Muite! Miiko Race-Tin, he is a major character appearing in Episode 12, owns Hayate's Muscle Shop and Cafe, driving the Yin-Yang Element.
As a butler, Hayate is capable of all aspects of housework and can even play the violin, but it is his ability in repelling attacks from almost anything, including butlers of other families (despite his bad luck) that makes him a "combat butler". He once demonstrated a skilled use of fire-arms (capable of wielding an MG3 single-handedly) and is essentially invincible with physical prowess far surpassing any normal human being. At the end of Volume 6, Hayate manages to create an ultimate technique called "Hayate no Gotoku" (like the wind). Although he possesses a wide range of skills, his empathy is very poor, to the point where he often hurts the people around him because he doesn't understand their feelings towards him. However, Hayate's attitude towards a relationship is actually very positive.
In addition to looking poor and seedy, Hayate can also appear to be extremely feminine. He has a girlish face and is good at housework such as cooking and cleaning. This has led to him being forced to wear girls' clothing or cosplay in feminine outfits such as nekomimi, a maid and so on. In episode 36 of the anime, he cosplays as Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess. Later on, this female alter-ego is given a name: Hermione Ayasaki (綾崎 ハーマイオニー Ayasaki Hamaioni). He has been forced to cross-dress at other times, but he is not referred to by his alter-ego's name on these occasions.On the other hand, he often unintentionally embarrasses others by reacting wildly at very simple requests. This may be because of his innocent personality, which often leads him into trouble with other people. In the following episode 7 (Season 2), Hayate and Hinagiku created a spark when they both accidentally touched each other's hands. They both blush, and Hinagiku rushed out of the house to buy some ice cream because she can't face her crush due to embarrassment. It seems that their feelings for each other have increased. He also has a slight interest in Ayumu after Ayumu hugged Hayate on Valentine's Day. Ayumu gave some suggestions to Hayate on what he should buy for Hinagiku, Maria, and Nagi on Episode 10 of Season 2. He also gave some cookies as a present for Ayumu on White Day.
Hayate had a girlfriend named Athena, who was responsible for teaching him cleaning and swordsmanship, as well as for building his strong body. Athena taught him that he must be economically strong if he wants to date with a girl. They had a falling out after his parents pawned an "engagement" ring she gave him. In chapter 239, after being asked by Hinagiku how he feels about Athena, Hayate describes Athena as "Not like the others," and ultimately tells Hinagiku that he is in love with Athena. Following her advice to meet her, he goes to her mansion and confronts Machina, who nearly kills him and steals his 'King's Stone' before Athena brings him in and treats him. Athena would soon be possessed by King Midas and attack Hayate, Isumi and Sakuya came to help him but they were no match for her, they escaped just in time. Isumi explained to Hayate about Athena's possession and the importance of the King's Jewel. However Hayate was unable to choose whether to keep the stone for Nagi's inheritance or to destroy it to save Athena. In the end it was Nagi who made the choice, noticing Hayate's troubles she destroyed the King's Jewel. Hayate was able to beat King Midas and rescue Athena. Both of them quickly embraced each other, after a long time since 10 years ago. Athena told Hayate of what happened after he left, about how a man came to save and free her from The Royal Garden, Hayate immediately recognized the man as his brother Ikusa. After these events, he tells her that she is the one he loves but he comes to deciding he must first protect Nagi. Hayate would go back to Mykonos for one more day of vacation before returning to Japan.Back in Japan, Hayate had to deal with the problem of Nagi losing the inheritance and thus the mansion. In the end, Hayate met Klaus who showed him an old house, "Violet Mansion". Klaus received the house from Yukariko Sanzenin decades ago and said it was only proper that the house be returned to its rightful owner, Yukariko's daughter, Nagi. Having settled in their new home, Hayate (in Hermione form) met Ruka Suirenji an idol help carried her to where she was scheduled to perform when attacked by a robot control by Yozora Housen, with Ruka still thinking that Hayate is a girl. After that, Athena appeared again in chapter 300, to ask Hayate where his brother was. She told him that she would appear again, and that he should act like they had never met before. She appeared again as a child, with no memories, only that her mission was to find the owner of the Shirosakura, Hinagiku, to help restore her powers. She also stated that Hayate was the one she trusted most. When Hinagiku asked Hayate to rest in Hakuou. He decided want to take a bath and unluckily he met Ruka in there. When he wanted to explain to her, Izumi appeared and Ruka collapsed. Ruka then knows Hayate is a boy and left suddenly. When she almost gets hit by a truck, Hayate saves her and apologizes to her for lying to her. Recently Hayate, Linn, Tama discovered a mystery room (in chapter 368) partitioned in the storage room. After Isumi disables the barrier, Hayate discovers that the room holds the same coffin he saw in the Royal Garden 10 years ago. Shortly after that Yozora shows up and burns the coffin whilst battling Isumi briefly. He proceeds to intervene when Yozora threatened Athena but was countered effortlessly by her. He later buys groceries for a Welcome Party for the Violet Mansion tenants. Ruka offers to help pay off his debt along with hers before proclaiming her love for him, though Hayate declares he will continue to be Nagi's butler until she a happy grown mistress.
Currently there are a total of 10 people that are in love with Hayate, many of which he has no clue to their true feelings due to his dense nature. They are: Hinagiku, Ayumu, Ruka, Izumi, Isumi, Maria, Nagi, Sakuya, Athena and Kotetsu (Homosexual). However, Hayate has only shown interest in Hinagiku, Ayumu, Maria, Nagi, Athena, and Ruka.
Shun Ayasaki and Mrs. Ayasaki (Hayate's parents) (綾崎 瞬 と ハヤテの母 Ayasaki Shun to Hayate no haha)
Shun Ayasaki Voiced by: Kenji HamadaMrs. Ayasaki Voiced by: Kazusa Murai
Hayate's parents, who appear only in flashbacks as faceless shadows with the characters "Mother" and "Father" scrawled on their faces. Shun has refused to get employed (on the ground that he is undergoing soul-searching and deserves no less than jobs "most suited to him") and his mother has been a compulsive gambler, which led to their bankruptcy. They abandon Hayate after selling his organs to the Yakuza to ease their financial burdens (a debt of 156,804,000 yen, or approximately US $1.9 million). Later on, Wataru and Hayate find out that Shun was a former member of Wataru's video store which owed Wataru 1,580,000 yen in unpaid late fees. When asked by Sakuya Aizawa if Hayate still has any desire to live with his parents if they had a change of heart, Hayate states that no matter what he does, that would never happen; there are no second chances.
Ikusa Ayasaki (綾崎 イクサ Ayasaki Ikusa)
Ikusa is the older brother of Hayate. He has a very kind personality which Hayate likes about him. Hayate met him 10 years prior to when the series began, when he was still a teenage high schooler and Hayate was still a young boy. In a flashback, Ikusa is shown giving a friendly farewell and advice to a lady in a shawl that resembles Yukariko Sanzenin's. Hayate lends him a King's Stone that Santa Claus give him. Ikusa, in desperate attitude to save a person, turns out to be Athena after she and Hayate had a fight with Ikusa, meeting Athena for the first time. He made a promise to Athena that he will let her see Hayate again. He also appears to host a cross on his forehead nearly identical to the Shiranui's white cross and Linn's forehead cross. It is shown that he is incredibly strong, very good athletic capabilities; it is hinted that his strength may be at the same level as Himegami. Ikusa helps all those that need help and wishes to be reunited with his brother Hayate.
Suzune Ayasaki (綾崎 鈴音 Ayasaki Suzune)
Voiced by: Aya Endō
Suzune is a mysterious girl who appears in the movie, Hayate the Combat Butler! Heaven Is a Place on Earth.
It is later revealed that Suzune is actually Hayate's grandmother. Suzune returns to Hayate as a spirit that Hayate sees while on vacation with his friends at Ayumu's countryside. Suzune recreates an amusement park that Hayate once visited as a child with her. Suzune believed that Nagi was causing Hayate to suffer because of her spoiled attitude and that he only stayed with her because of the debt. Suzune gives Hayate a diamond that would pay off the debt so he could live his own life. Despite this Hayate returns the diamond to her and says that he wants to pay off the debt on his own beside Nagi. Suzune then departs to the afterlife with a smile.
Despite Suzune's slightly violent demeanor, she cares greatly for Hayate. She is very disappointed in her son Shun, for loading such a large debt on Hayate's shoulders. She only wishes for Hayate to be happy and goes to great lengths for him to be so.
SANZENIN HOUSEHOLDNagi Sanzenin (三千院 ナギ Sanzen'in Nagi)
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
The main female protagonist Nagi Sanzenin, 13-year-old, biracial, is the only heir to the Sanzenin fortune. She is short-tempered, spoiled, immature, but kind and cute. (She can go as far as destroying things and hitting people if she's frustrated) She has an otaku-level hobby with manga, anime and video games, and draws her own manga, which is called "Millennium Legend: Magical Destroy" whose main protagonist is a magical girl named Britney (ブリトニー Buritonī). Many of the characters in the anime think that Britney is very ugly and that Nagi's manga sucked (Hayate and Maria included). Sakuya has shown her hate on Nagi's manga by throwing it into the trash can when Nagi was only a child. Nagi has a large crush on Hayate, and she thinks that Hayate loves her since they first met. She sometimes tries to make him take an interest in her in many ways, and sometimes, she succeeds. She has successfully kissed Hayate 2 times in total. She gets really jealous when Hayate makes some good statements on other girls, and then punches his face. However, Hayate never understands why Nagi is mad at him (until the final episode of Can't Take My Eyes Off You).
Nagi's only surviving family is her grandfather, whom she greatly dislikes. She regards Maria as an older sister figure, but gets ultimately jealous when Hayate is out with Maria or is alone with her. Nagi's mother, Yukariko, is shown in volume 12 of the manga. She cares for her family and friends, but she doesn't want to show her concern directly, she usually shows her concern with "formal words". Because of her pampered existence, she lacks any worldly knowledge and is even incapable of looking after herself. Nagi is mortally afraid of the dark (due to an incident with Isumi), and so shares her bed with Maria at night. Since going outside is very dangerous because of her status, Nagi favors staying at home, not liking company in general. Hayate managed to convince Nagi that sports is good for her body, and she is able to get into 2nd place on the Hakuō freestyle marathon due to Hayate's absorbing training and her huge amount of love for him.
Nagi likes to do what she likes to do, but mostly what she likes to do is not so good for her future. She is hard to control; even Maria who has lots of talents can't control her. But Hayate, her average educated and insensitive butler, who saved her from the kidnappers and the mafia, and police chase that occurred from the race that she loses from him, is able to convince her to go to school, do exercise, have many friends, etc. He helps Nagi to be a better person. He saved both her life and her lifestyle. While Hayate always reminded her to go outside and gather experiences on the outside world, she always thought that will be boring or she will always get lost and risk being kidnapped. Maria always states to her that without Hayate she will always get lost or in danger. Nagi spent most of her younger years living outside Japan. Because of her family's wealth, she became the prime target of criminal organizations. Nagi disliked being a target and spent most of her days indoors playing video games and watching TV and hence slowly becoming a hikikomori. She begins to go to school more often after Hayate transfers to her school. Despite her laziness, Nagi is a highly intelligent student. She skipped grades and is currently in the first year of high school and in the same class as Hayate. Another funny thing about Nagi is that she always forgets the everyday life of an ordinary person.
"Nagi" means "windless" or "calmness", which seems to be the contrast of Hayate, which means "gust of wind" or "squall".
In Shimoda, Nagi decided to take Hayate and Maria on a trip to visit a mysterious meteorite that seems to enhance growth, along with other special powers. Nagi decided to help the alien, Maya, to find its misplaced spaceship. Nagi and Maya find the spaceship at the Saginomiya's place. Nagi accidentally boards on the spaceship, luckily Hayate saves her. When Maya sends Hayate and Nagi home, Hayate encounters Nagi's mother, Yukariko, in a dream and finds out the reason why Nagi comes to Shimoda every year is to remember the anniversary of her mother's death.
On the other hand, in Episode 52, during Golden Week, Nagi, Hayate, and Maria travel to Mykonos Island. Hayate got summoned back to the past when he jumped into the sky to get Nagi's hat back. At that time, Nagi feels uncomfortable going outside, because the mafia is after her. However, Hayate manages to defeat the Sicilian mafia but he made a few holes on Nagi's hat. Nagi doesn't mind and said that the holes are proof that Hayate saved her life. After this incident, Nagi falls for Hayate even more because he has vowed to protect her in the past, present and future. Both Nagis (The one in the present and the one from the past) fall for Hayate deeply. During Hayate's struggle to make a choice whether to destroy the King's Jewel to save Athena, Nagi sensed Hayate's dilemma and decided to destroy the king's jewel out of her own accord so that Hayate could now protect her truly, and not her fortune. She came across Athena on the last day of Golden Week. After coming back from Golden Week trip, Nagi was forced to leave her mansion due to her forfeiting her inheritance after she destroyed the King's Jewel. She orders Hayate to find a new house with 20 million yen. Later Nagi, Hayate, and Maria stayed at Yukariko's Violet Mansion and started new life.
Nagi trying to sell her doujinshi to the public. Nagi went to show her hard work to Ashibashi-sensei but was shocked to realize her hard work was not good enough. Later, Chiharu tried to cheer her up by taking her to a Doujinshi covention. After making a bet to sell out her doujinshi at the last convention, Nagi gets help from both Chiharu, Hayate, and Kayura in coming out with ideas to create her own doujinshi compare to Ruka her rival. In chapter 328, Hayate invites Ruka over to accompany Nagi in drawing her own doujinshi. After the Comisun event, Nagi decide to make a comeback at the Tokyo Big Sight to where the biggest doujinshi competition will be held there. Believing that having supernatural experiences will help create a concept manuscript for a new manga, Nagi takes an itinerary to Kyoto, but later got lost on the empty streets of Hokkaido until she's found late at night by Dr. Kurosu. Nagi determined to win the competition for Hayate's sake when Ruka confronts her feelings for him. At the doujinshi competition, as Nagi's manga, "30 Days of Soul Burning", is being sold and read, she soon realize what she had sincerely desire in her life.
Maria (マリア Maria)
Voiced by: Rie Tanaka
Maria is Nagi's maid and is the one of the only person who understands the relationship between Hayate and Nagi. She appears to be the one in charge of everything in Nagi's manor, since everyone from Klaus (head butler) to the SP either obeys or fears her (or both in some cases). She is highly intelligent, somewhat devious, good at general housework and likes games of all kinds, though she is deathly afraid of cockroaches, which she refers to as "the dark life-form that exists in the kitchen and other places". She has also proved capable of self-defense techniques in times of need. She is, however, poor at disguises, as seen multiple times when she tries to spy on Hayate and Nagi and is recognised instantly.
She has no surname and she doesn't have records of her biological parents. She is found in front of St. Mary's church by Mikado as an orphan, where she got her first name. Not knowing anything about herself, her birthday was decided as December 24, the day she was found. She is the unfortunate one who always has to clean up everyone's messes. She has seen Hayate naked multiple times (and has been seen naked by him once), and she sees the effect he has on other girls, many of whom are attracted to him for his kind nature. Her own feelings for Hayate are very clear, and she blushes whenever Hayate saves her from danger. (Episode 19) Also, when Hayate accidentally tripped on her, they both blush as well. (Episode 22) Although she has chosen to put any feelings for Hayate aside in order to support Nagi's love for him, she has been shown to be curious about love. However, there are countless cases that Maria is unable to control her own feelings for Hayate. One example is that on Valentine's Day, she keeps telling herself that she isn't in love with Hayate, but eventually She ends up making some chocolates for Hayate. However, she smashed it because she is jealous of Hayate's skill at making chocolate. At the end, Hayate ended up making chocolates for both Maria and Nagi. Both girls enjoyed the chocolates.
Maria is also legendary throughout Hakuō Academy for having graduated high school at the age of 13 in just three years while maintaining the position of Student Council President for all three years. Because of this, she was able to recommend Hayate to Hakuō Academy despite him narrowly failing the entrance exams. Due to such unusual experiences, she both appears and acts in a manner more mature than people typical of her age. Because of this, even people near to her speak of her as if she is older than she really is, a pet peeve for her. She commonly responds that she is still a fresh 17-year-old girl and remains 17 years old (according to this phrase) throughout the entire six-month-span of the series. She may have met Athena as a child. After the Golden Week vacation, she was happy about Nagi wanting to have normal life in normal house after Hayate found a Violet Mansion through Klaus. Afterwards, she and Hayate decorated and cleaned it to make it suitable to be lived in.
Mikado Sanzenin (三千院 帝 Sanzen'in Mikado)
Voiced by: Tomomichi Nishimura
Mikado Sanzenin is Nagi's grandfather and the head of the Sanzenin family, as well as one of the five directors in charge of Hakuō Academy. He lives in a mansion much bigger than Nagi's mansion with many servants. It is unknown where the Sanzenin fortune comes from but Nagi calls her grandfather an oil tycoon. He has the ability to judge a person's character just by looking at them. From what he saw in Hayate, he gives Hayate a pendant that is supposed to be his compass for life (but turns out to be a cursed pendant).
Even though Mikado is Nagi's only direct relative, they do not get along. This is evidenced when Nagi continuously hits him when Mikado says something that she dislikes. (Episode 11) Nagi dreads going to the main house to visit him. As a result, Mikado is not seen many times after his first appearance, although he makes a brief appearance in volume 12 when Nagi states that although she knows that no matter how much money she has, she cannot bring back her mother; there may still be some people in this world that do not understand this. However, it is obvious that he worries for her, which is shown when he tries to stop the assassination/kidnapping attempts and pushes them onto Hayate when he announces that he will pass the Sanzenin inheritance to the person who makes Nagi cry and beg for forgiveness and which later changed – with the suggestion from Hayate and a little help from Maria – to get rid of the butler first. This further changed in volume 21 of the manga, that the inheritance will be granted to the one who manages to steal or destroy the King's Stone Mikado gave to Hayate. In episode 51 of the first anime, he hatched a plan to fire Hayate, although it failed to materialize. After Nagi lost the inheritance when she destroyed the King's Jewel for Hayate's sake and Athena, Mikado reveals the best way to have Nagi as his successor again is obtain another King's Jewel.
He is shown to be not very fond of Hayate, mainly because Hayate's dream has nothing to do with gaining big money, or marrying Nagi. He is aware of Nagi's crush on Hayate. "Mikado" means emperor, showing his position in the Sanzenin family.
Yukariko Sanzenin (三千院 紫子 Sanzen'in Yukariko)
Voiced by: Yūko Minaguchi
Yukariko is Nagi's deceased mother. She was Mikado Sanzenin's daughter, and was friends with Mikoto Tachibana and Hatsuho Saginomiya. According to Hatsuho, Yukariko appearance resembles Hayate's. Yukariko appears in Nagi's dream and Hayate's illusion (in 2nd Season). It is also seen in chapter 187, that Yukariko was helped by Hayate Ayasaki's brother, Ikusa Ayasaki. The reason why he helped her is still unknown but the person was definitely Yukariko as her scarf is seen. It is implied that was how she entered the Royal Garden and gained the "Power of Royalty" since she was the "chosen one by God". She often said to Nagi that she would always look after her as the sky and the stars. She died of sickness when Nagi was about 5 years old. According to her character profile, she didn't die because of sickness. Her grave is in Shimoda, and Nagi visits it every year.
Shin Hayek (新ハイエク Hayek Shin)
Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita
Shin is Yukariko's late husband and Nagi's father. He was adopted into the Sanzenin family after marrying Yukariko. Nagi was about too young to remember him. He is also Mikado's son-in-law; he has a similar hairstyle like Hayate's.
In the 3rd season, Shin had served Yukariko as her butler while planning his escape with the Kurotsubaki (Black Camellia), a clock that brings bad luck but can grant the owner a life full of miracles. However, he eventually fell in love with Yukariko and instead wished to be the man worthy of her. He proposed and they ended up getting married, and spent their honeymoon in Shimoda.After losing his parents at a young age and growing up in a very poor environment, Shin always dreamed of becoming something big. Spending his adolescent days stealing from others, Shin grew into a well-known American thief until he met Yukariko. He died in a car accident in Las Vegas. Mikado reveals that Shin was a con artist who married Yukariko aiming for the Sanzenin fortune, or so he thought. In episode 11, reveals the Black Camellia is a magical sword that exchanges a person's soul, Shin was really inside the Black Camellia for 13 years until Hayate got stabbed, they switch souls, and Nagi finally meets her father (in Hayate's body). Shin wanted back the ring stolen by his former employer Dolly that signifies his and Yukariko's eternal love. At the end of the series, Shin reunites with Yukariko to the afterlife.
Seishirou Klaus (倉臼 征史郎 Kurausu Seishirō )
Voiced by: Kenta Miyake
Klaus is the 58-year-old head butler of the Sanzenin family, who is usually away on business. He was Yukariko's butler when she was young. He is jealous of Hayate because he does a better job than he does. He had made several plans to fire Hayate, but they all failed, a similarity to Mikado's failing idiotic plans. He saw Hayate crossdress as a catgirl without knowing that Hayate was forced to by Nagi and Maria (episode 8). He is self-centered, has a low alcohol tolerance, doesn't do well with tobacco or women, and likes cars and bikes. Klaus once had a dog named Lucky that used to live in the Sanzenin garden, Lucky appear in chapter 183, chewing Izumi's doll before attempting to attack her, Hayate saves her by hitting him with a large stick. Klaus always gets beat-up by Nagi when he tries to fire or discourage Hayate.
He is currently in love with Hayate's female character, Hermione Ayasaki.
Akane Himegami (姫神 茜 Himegami Akane)
Voiced by: Mitsuo Iwata
Akane was Nagi's butler before Hayate. He has yet to make a personal appearance in the manga, but a torn corner of a picture recently discovered (chapter 369) shows Himegami as a child. Judging from the way Nagi and Maria speak of him, he quit due to a problem related to Nagi's personality traits. Neither Nagi nor Maria seem to want to elaborate on his departure. Also with references from the first volume he was close to Nagi. He wrote a book on how a butler can acquire a one-hit kill technique, but later Nagi burnt the book. He is probably around Hayate and Maria's age. In episode 34 of the anime, he makes his appearance, but with his face obscured by the shadows. He returns once more in episode 38 wearing a mask. In episode 39 his face is shown. In chapter 225, Sonia Shaflnarz mentions that were rumors indicating that Akane might have been fired for trying to steal the treasure of the Sanzenin family that is associated with the King's Jewels. In the anime, he also insists that he be called "Princess God" rather than Himegami, which is a direct translation of his surname.
Himegami originally made a brief appearance on the bottom panel at the end of Chapter 146 but was later taken out and replaced with the panel of Hayate and Nagi holding hands.
Tama (タマ Tama)
Voiced by: Jūrōta Kosugi
Tama is a white tiger from Africa, who was rescued by Nagi as a cub, and was raised on Matsuzaka beef and expensive tuna fish, making him incapable of going to the zoo or back to the wild. He can speak the human language, though he does not reveal this to Maria or Nagi because he doesn't want to shatter the girls' dreams. He will lay his life down to protect Nagi, as Nagi saved his life and raised him herself.
Despite the fact he is a white tiger, he was found by Nagi while she was exploring Africa. The manga artist admitted that he made a mistake when fans wrote to him pointing out there are no tigers in Africa. Because of this, when Nagi first finds Tama, she becomes convinced that he is just a cat. Usually when Tama is speaking or involved in a comical situation, he looks rather cartoon-like and, when standing on his hind legs, is about human size. He appears this way in most of his appearances, although he will occasionally be drawn in his actual size and appearance. He has been known to imitate other people's voices, and has done a perfect imitation of Nagi once.
Tama is often seen relaxing or doing human-like activities. However, he seems to enjoy reading male model magazines in his free time, which only goes to show Tama's odd behavior. He once fell in love with a tiger on a picture of a magazine advertisement for Brazil, and tried to machinate a plan involving Klaus' retirement just to get to go see her, before being reminded by Hayate that there are no tigers in Brazil. After Nagi had moved to the Violet mansion she requested that Hayate bring Tama into the new house. Later, Isumi has given him the collar of Nibelungs.
Shiranui (シラヌイ(白野威、【しらぬい】) Shiranui)
Voiced by: Kana Asumi
The "White Kitten" Hayate receives from Hinagiku. He is black with a small white X-shaped scar in his forehead. He has a very devilish personality and deliberately gets Tama into trouble. A teary eyed Hinagiku had to say goodbye to Shiranui because her mom had cat allergy. Hayate then decided to take Shiranui and find him a new owner. When Hayate returned to the Sanzenin Mansion, he was immediately welcomed back by Nagi who caught sight of the cat. At first Nagi was doubtful as to taking care of the cat but quickly changed her mind and decided to make the cat a member of the Sanzenin family and named the cat as Shiranui. His name is a reference from the videogame Okami, whose protagonist is also known as Shiranui. Kenjiro Hata apparently was playing this game prior to naming Shiranui.
Shiori Makimura (牧村 志織 Makimura Shiori)Voiced by: Rina Satō
Shiori Makimura is a genius scientist with the Mikado Hyper Energy (M.H.E) Electronics Corporation as the Chief of Development, Humanoid Nursing and Battlefield Weapons Department, and Advanced Technology Development Division for the Sanzen'in. Her specialties is computers and mechas. Her development team created Nursing Robot Eight and other mechas seen in the series. She is in fact so talented, that she had even built a mecha when she was half asleep. During her high school years she was the vice president of the student council in Hakuou. The president at that time was Maria. She enjoyed calling Maria nicknames like "Little President"; takes growth vidoes of her, similar to what the Hakuou Three Amiga does to Hinagiku. In volume 3, robot Eight asks her to be his girlfriend and she accepts, but later breaks up. In episode 23, Shiori is sent to teach her old school, Hakuō Academy, because her superiors believe she does not have enough heart. Another weakness Shiori has is that she is often quite forgetful, completely forgetting about building Eight and overlooking the installation of a critical control chip in one of her mechas, which lead to disastrous results.
Sanzenin SP (三千院SP Sanzenin esupī)
SP leader Voiced by: Takahumi Kawakami
The secret police with a force of over 2000, they are hired by the Sanzenins to ensure the safety of the mansion's occupants (especially Nagi). They can be easily distracted from their duties sometimes, for example, once they were distracted by a concert while searching for Nagi at Hakuō Academy.
Although they will obey Nagi's orders, her authority can be overridden by Maria (who will intervene when Nagi's demands become unrealistic), who can be considered the head of security for the mansion (in addition to being a maid).
As a butler, Hayate is capable of all aspects of housework and can even play the violin, but it is his ability in repelling attacks from almost anything, including butlers of other families (despite his bad luck) that makes him a "combat butler". He once demonstrated a skilled use of fire-arms (capable of wielding an MG3 single-handedly) and is essentially invincible with physical prowess far surpassing any normal human being. At the end of Volume 6, Hayate manages to create an ultimate technique called "Hayate no Gotoku" (like the wind). Although he possesses a wide range of skills, his empathy is very poor, to the point where he often hurts the people around him because he doesn't understand their feelings towards him. However, Hayate's attitude towards a relationship is actually very positive.
In addition to looking poor and seedy, Hayate can also appear to be extremely feminine. He has a girlish face and is good at housework such as cooking and cleaning. This has led to him being forced to wear girls' clothing or cosplay in feminine outfits such as nekomimi, a maid and so on. In episode 36 of the anime, he cosplays as Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess. Later on, this female alter-ego is given a name: Hermione Ayasaki (綾崎 ハーマイオニー Ayasaki Hamaioni). He has been forced to cross-dress at other times, but he is not referred to by his alter-ego's name on these occasions.On the other hand, he often unintentionally embarrasses others by reacting wildly at very simple requests. This may be because of his innocent personality, which often leads him into trouble with other people. In the following episode 7 (Season 2), Hayate and Hinagiku created a spark when they both accidentally touched each other's hands. They both blush, and Hinagiku rushed out of the house to buy some ice cream because she can't face her crush due to embarrassment. It seems that their feelings for each other have increased. He also has a slight interest in Ayumu after Ayumu hugged Hayate on Valentine's Day. Ayumu gave some suggestions to Hayate on what he should buy for Hinagiku, Maria, and Nagi on Episode 10 of Season 2. He also gave some cookies as a present for Ayumu on White Day.
Hayate had a girlfriend named Athena, who was responsible for teaching him cleaning and swordsmanship, as well as for building his strong body. Athena taught him that he must be economically strong if he wants to date with a girl. They had a falling out after his parents pawned an "engagement" ring she gave him. In chapter 239, after being asked by Hinagiku how he feels about Athena, Hayate describes Athena as "Not like the others," and ultimately tells Hinagiku that he is in love with Athena. Following her advice to meet her, he goes to her mansion and confronts Machina, who nearly kills him and steals his 'King's Stone' before Athena brings him in and treats him. Athena would soon be possessed by King Midas and attack Hayate, Isumi and Sakuya came to help him but they were no match for her, they escaped just in time. Isumi explained to Hayate about Athena's possession and the importance of the King's Jewel. However Hayate was unable to choose whether to keep the stone for Nagi's inheritance or to destroy it to save Athena. In the end it was Nagi who made the choice, noticing Hayate's troubles she destroyed the King's Jewel. Hayate was able to beat King Midas and rescue Athena. Both of them quickly embraced each other, after a long time since 10 years ago. Athena told Hayate of what happened after he left, about how a man came to save and free her from The Royal Garden, Hayate immediately recognized the man as his brother Ikusa. After these events, he tells her that she is the one he loves but he comes to deciding he must first protect Nagi. Hayate would go back to Mykonos for one more day of vacation before returning to Japan.Back in Japan, Hayate had to deal with the problem of Nagi losing the inheritance and thus the mansion. In the end, Hayate met Klaus who showed him an old house, "Violet Mansion". Klaus received the house from Yukariko Sanzenin decades ago and said it was only proper that the house be returned to its rightful owner, Yukariko's daughter, Nagi. Having settled in their new home, Hayate (in Hermione form) met Ruka Suirenji an idol help carried her to where she was scheduled to perform when attacked by a robot control by Yozora Housen, with Ruka still thinking that Hayate is a girl. After that, Athena appeared again in chapter 300, to ask Hayate where his brother was. She told him that she would appear again, and that he should act like they had never met before. She appeared again as a child, with no memories, only that her mission was to find the owner of the Shirosakura, Hinagiku, to help restore her powers. She also stated that Hayate was the one she trusted most. When Hinagiku asked Hayate to rest in Hakuou. He decided want to take a bath and unluckily he met Ruka in there. When he wanted to explain to her, Izumi appeared and Ruka collapsed. Ruka then knows Hayate is a boy and left suddenly. When she almost gets hit by a truck, Hayate saves her and apologizes to her for lying to her. Recently Hayate, Linn, Tama discovered a mystery room (in chapter 368) partitioned in the storage room. After Isumi disables the barrier, Hayate discovers that the room holds the same coffin he saw in the Royal Garden 10 years ago. Shortly after that Yozora shows up and burns the coffin whilst battling Isumi briefly. He proceeds to intervene when Yozora threatened Athena but was countered effortlessly by her. He later buys groceries for a Welcome Party for the Violet Mansion tenants. Ruka offers to help pay off his debt along with hers before proclaiming her love for him, though Hayate declares he will continue to be Nagi's butler until she a happy grown mistress.
Currently there are a total of 10 people that are in love with Hayate, many of which he has no clue to their true feelings due to his dense nature. They are: Hinagiku, Ayumu, Ruka, Izumi, Isumi, Maria, Nagi, Sakuya, Athena and Kotetsu (Homosexual). However, Hayate has only shown interest in Hinagiku, Ayumu, Maria, Nagi, Athena, and Ruka.
Shun Ayasaki and Mrs. Ayasaki (Hayate's parents) (綾崎 瞬 と ハヤテの母 Ayasaki Shun to Hayate no haha)
Shun Ayasaki Voiced by: Kenji HamadaMrs. Ayasaki Voiced by: Kazusa Murai
Hayate's parents, who appear only in flashbacks as faceless shadows with the characters "Mother" and "Father" scrawled on their faces. Shun has refused to get employed (on the ground that he is undergoing soul-searching and deserves no less than jobs "most suited to him") and his mother has been a compulsive gambler, which led to their bankruptcy. They abandon Hayate after selling his organs to the Yakuza to ease their financial burdens (a debt of 156,804,000 yen, or approximately US $1.9 million). Later on, Wataru and Hayate find out that Shun was a former member of Wataru's video store which owed Wataru 1,580,000 yen in unpaid late fees. When asked by Sakuya Aizawa if Hayate still has any desire to live with his parents if they had a change of heart, Hayate states that no matter what he does, that would never happen; there are no second chances.
Ikusa Ayasaki (綾崎 イクサ Ayasaki Ikusa)
Ikusa is the older brother of Hayate. He has a very kind personality which Hayate likes about him. Hayate met him 10 years prior to when the series began, when he was still a teenage high schooler and Hayate was still a young boy. In a flashback, Ikusa is shown giving a friendly farewell and advice to a lady in a shawl that resembles Yukariko Sanzenin's. Hayate lends him a King's Stone that Santa Claus give him. Ikusa, in desperate attitude to save a person, turns out to be Athena after she and Hayate had a fight with Ikusa, meeting Athena for the first time. He made a promise to Athena that he will let her see Hayate again. He also appears to host a cross on his forehead nearly identical to the Shiranui's white cross and Linn's forehead cross. It is shown that he is incredibly strong, very good athletic capabilities; it is hinted that his strength may be at the same level as Himegami. Ikusa helps all those that need help and wishes to be reunited with his brother Hayate.

Voiced by: Aya Endō
Suzune is a mysterious girl who appears in the movie, Hayate the Combat Butler! Heaven Is a Place on Earth.
It is later revealed that Suzune is actually Hayate's grandmother. Suzune returns to Hayate as a spirit that Hayate sees while on vacation with his friends at Ayumu's countryside. Suzune recreates an amusement park that Hayate once visited as a child with her. Suzune believed that Nagi was causing Hayate to suffer because of her spoiled attitude and that he only stayed with her because of the debt. Suzune gives Hayate a diamond that would pay off the debt so he could live his own life. Despite this Hayate returns the diamond to her and says that he wants to pay off the debt on his own beside Nagi. Suzune then departs to the afterlife with a smile.
Despite Suzune's slightly violent demeanor, she cares greatly for Hayate. She is very disappointed in her son Shun, for loading such a large debt on Hayate's shoulders. She only wishes for Hayate to be happy and goes to great lengths for him to be so.
SANZENIN HOUSEHOLDNagi Sanzenin (三千院 ナギ Sanzen'in Nagi)
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
The main female protagonist Nagi Sanzenin, 13-year-old, biracial, is the only heir to the Sanzenin fortune. She is short-tempered, spoiled, immature, but kind and cute. (She can go as far as destroying things and hitting people if she's frustrated) She has an otaku-level hobby with manga, anime and video games, and draws her own manga, which is called "Millennium Legend: Magical Destroy" whose main protagonist is a magical girl named Britney (ブリトニー Buritonī). Many of the characters in the anime think that Britney is very ugly and that Nagi's manga sucked (Hayate and Maria included). Sakuya has shown her hate on Nagi's manga by throwing it into the trash can when Nagi was only a child. Nagi has a large crush on Hayate, and she thinks that Hayate loves her since they first met. She sometimes tries to make him take an interest in her in many ways, and sometimes, she succeeds. She has successfully kissed Hayate 2 times in total. She gets really jealous when Hayate makes some good statements on other girls, and then punches his face. However, Hayate never understands why Nagi is mad at him (until the final episode of Can't Take My Eyes Off You).
Nagi's only surviving family is her grandfather, whom she greatly dislikes. She regards Maria as an older sister figure, but gets ultimately jealous when Hayate is out with Maria or is alone with her. Nagi's mother, Yukariko, is shown in volume 12 of the manga. She cares for her family and friends, but she doesn't want to show her concern directly, she usually shows her concern with "formal words". Because of her pampered existence, she lacks any worldly knowledge and is even incapable of looking after herself. Nagi is mortally afraid of the dark (due to an incident with Isumi), and so shares her bed with Maria at night. Since going outside is very dangerous because of her status, Nagi favors staying at home, not liking company in general. Hayate managed to convince Nagi that sports is good for her body, and she is able to get into 2nd place on the Hakuō freestyle marathon due to Hayate's absorbing training and her huge amount of love for him.
Nagi likes to do what she likes to do, but mostly what she likes to do is not so good for her future. She is hard to control; even Maria who has lots of talents can't control her. But Hayate, her average educated and insensitive butler, who saved her from the kidnappers and the mafia, and police chase that occurred from the race that she loses from him, is able to convince her to go to school, do exercise, have many friends, etc. He helps Nagi to be a better person. He saved both her life and her lifestyle. While Hayate always reminded her to go outside and gather experiences on the outside world, she always thought that will be boring or she will always get lost and risk being kidnapped. Maria always states to her that without Hayate she will always get lost or in danger. Nagi spent most of her younger years living outside Japan. Because of her family's wealth, she became the prime target of criminal organizations. Nagi disliked being a target and spent most of her days indoors playing video games and watching TV and hence slowly becoming a hikikomori. She begins to go to school more often after Hayate transfers to her school. Despite her laziness, Nagi is a highly intelligent student. She skipped grades and is currently in the first year of high school and in the same class as Hayate. Another funny thing about Nagi is that she always forgets the everyday life of an ordinary person.
"Nagi" means "windless" or "calmness", which seems to be the contrast of Hayate, which means "gust of wind" or "squall".
In Shimoda, Nagi decided to take Hayate and Maria on a trip to visit a mysterious meteorite that seems to enhance growth, along with other special powers. Nagi decided to help the alien, Maya, to find its misplaced spaceship. Nagi and Maya find the spaceship at the Saginomiya's place. Nagi accidentally boards on the spaceship, luckily Hayate saves her. When Maya sends Hayate and Nagi home, Hayate encounters Nagi's mother, Yukariko, in a dream and finds out the reason why Nagi comes to Shimoda every year is to remember the anniversary of her mother's death.
On the other hand, in Episode 52, during Golden Week, Nagi, Hayate, and Maria travel to Mykonos Island. Hayate got summoned back to the past when he jumped into the sky to get Nagi's hat back. At that time, Nagi feels uncomfortable going outside, because the mafia is after her. However, Hayate manages to defeat the Sicilian mafia but he made a few holes on Nagi's hat. Nagi doesn't mind and said that the holes are proof that Hayate saved her life. After this incident, Nagi falls for Hayate even more because he has vowed to protect her in the past, present and future. Both Nagis (The one in the present and the one from the past) fall for Hayate deeply. During Hayate's struggle to make a choice whether to destroy the King's Jewel to save Athena, Nagi sensed Hayate's dilemma and decided to destroy the king's jewel out of her own accord so that Hayate could now protect her truly, and not her fortune. She came across Athena on the last day of Golden Week. After coming back from Golden Week trip, Nagi was forced to leave her mansion due to her forfeiting her inheritance after she destroyed the King's Jewel. She orders Hayate to find a new house with 20 million yen. Later Nagi, Hayate, and Maria stayed at Yukariko's Violet Mansion and started new life.
Nagi trying to sell her doujinshi to the public. Nagi went to show her hard work to Ashibashi-sensei but was shocked to realize her hard work was not good enough. Later, Chiharu tried to cheer her up by taking her to a Doujinshi covention. After making a bet to sell out her doujinshi at the last convention, Nagi gets help from both Chiharu, Hayate, and Kayura in coming out with ideas to create her own doujinshi compare to Ruka her rival. In chapter 328, Hayate invites Ruka over to accompany Nagi in drawing her own doujinshi. After the Comisun event, Nagi decide to make a comeback at the Tokyo Big Sight to where the biggest doujinshi competition will be held there. Believing that having supernatural experiences will help create a concept manuscript for a new manga, Nagi takes an itinerary to Kyoto, but later got lost on the empty streets of Hokkaido until she's found late at night by Dr. Kurosu. Nagi determined to win the competition for Hayate's sake when Ruka confronts her feelings for him. At the doujinshi competition, as Nagi's manga, "30 Days of Soul Burning", is being sold and read, she soon realize what she had sincerely desire in her life.
Maria (マリア Maria)
Voiced by: Rie Tanaka
Maria is Nagi's maid and is the one of the only person who understands the relationship between Hayate and Nagi. She appears to be the one in charge of everything in Nagi's manor, since everyone from Klaus (head butler) to the SP either obeys or fears her (or both in some cases). She is highly intelligent, somewhat devious, good at general housework and likes games of all kinds, though she is deathly afraid of cockroaches, which she refers to as "the dark life-form that exists in the kitchen and other places". She has also proved capable of self-defense techniques in times of need. She is, however, poor at disguises, as seen multiple times when she tries to spy on Hayate and Nagi and is recognised instantly.
She has no surname and she doesn't have records of her biological parents. She is found in front of St. Mary's church by Mikado as an orphan, where she got her first name. Not knowing anything about herself, her birthday was decided as December 24, the day she was found. She is the unfortunate one who always has to clean up everyone's messes. She has seen Hayate naked multiple times (and has been seen naked by him once), and she sees the effect he has on other girls, many of whom are attracted to him for his kind nature. Her own feelings for Hayate are very clear, and she blushes whenever Hayate saves her from danger. (Episode 19) Also, when Hayate accidentally tripped on her, they both blush as well. (Episode 22) Although she has chosen to put any feelings for Hayate aside in order to support Nagi's love for him, she has been shown to be curious about love. However, there are countless cases that Maria is unable to control her own feelings for Hayate. One example is that on Valentine's Day, she keeps telling herself that she isn't in love with Hayate, but eventually She ends up making some chocolates for Hayate. However, she smashed it because she is jealous of Hayate's skill at making chocolate. At the end, Hayate ended up making chocolates for both Maria and Nagi. Both girls enjoyed the chocolates.
Maria is also legendary throughout Hakuō Academy for having graduated high school at the age of 13 in just three years while maintaining the position of Student Council President for all three years. Because of this, she was able to recommend Hayate to Hakuō Academy despite him narrowly failing the entrance exams. Due to such unusual experiences, she both appears and acts in a manner more mature than people typical of her age. Because of this, even people near to her speak of her as if she is older than she really is, a pet peeve for her. She commonly responds that she is still a fresh 17-year-old girl and remains 17 years old (according to this phrase) throughout the entire six-month-span of the series. She may have met Athena as a child. After the Golden Week vacation, she was happy about Nagi wanting to have normal life in normal house after Hayate found a Violet Mansion through Klaus. Afterwards, she and Hayate decorated and cleaned it to make it suitable to be lived in.

Mikado Sanzenin is Nagi's grandfather and the head of the Sanzenin family, as well as one of the five directors in charge of Hakuō Academy. He lives in a mansion much bigger than Nagi's mansion with many servants. It is unknown where the Sanzenin fortune comes from but Nagi calls her grandfather an oil tycoon. He has the ability to judge a person's character just by looking at them. From what he saw in Hayate, he gives Hayate a pendant that is supposed to be his compass for life (but turns out to be a cursed pendant).
Even though Mikado is Nagi's only direct relative, they do not get along. This is evidenced when Nagi continuously hits him when Mikado says something that she dislikes. (Episode 11) Nagi dreads going to the main house to visit him. As a result, Mikado is not seen many times after his first appearance, although he makes a brief appearance in volume 12 when Nagi states that although she knows that no matter how much money she has, she cannot bring back her mother; there may still be some people in this world that do not understand this. However, it is obvious that he worries for her, which is shown when he tries to stop the assassination/kidnapping attempts and pushes them onto Hayate when he announces that he will pass the Sanzenin inheritance to the person who makes Nagi cry and beg for forgiveness and which later changed – with the suggestion from Hayate and a little help from Maria – to get rid of the butler first. This further changed in volume 21 of the manga, that the inheritance will be granted to the one who manages to steal or destroy the King's Stone Mikado gave to Hayate. In episode 51 of the first anime, he hatched a plan to fire Hayate, although it failed to materialize. After Nagi lost the inheritance when she destroyed the King's Jewel for Hayate's sake and Athena, Mikado reveals the best way to have Nagi as his successor again is obtain another King's Jewel.
He is shown to be not very fond of Hayate, mainly because Hayate's dream has nothing to do with gaining big money, or marrying Nagi. He is aware of Nagi's crush on Hayate. "Mikado" means emperor, showing his position in the Sanzenin family.
Yukariko Sanzenin (三千院 紫子 Sanzen'in Yukariko)
Voiced by: Yūko Minaguchi
Yukariko is Nagi's deceased mother. She was Mikado Sanzenin's daughter, and was friends with Mikoto Tachibana and Hatsuho Saginomiya. According to Hatsuho, Yukariko appearance resembles Hayate's. Yukariko appears in Nagi's dream and Hayate's illusion (in 2nd Season). It is also seen in chapter 187, that Yukariko was helped by Hayate Ayasaki's brother, Ikusa Ayasaki. The reason why he helped her is still unknown but the person was definitely Yukariko as her scarf is seen. It is implied that was how she entered the Royal Garden and gained the "Power of Royalty" since she was the "chosen one by God". She often said to Nagi that she would always look after her as the sky and the stars. She died of sickness when Nagi was about 5 years old. According to her character profile, she didn't die because of sickness. Her grave is in Shimoda, and Nagi visits it every year.
Shin Hayek (新ハイエク Hayek Shin)
Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita
Shin is Yukariko's late husband and Nagi's father. He was adopted into the Sanzenin family after marrying Yukariko. Nagi was about too young to remember him. He is also Mikado's son-in-law; he has a similar hairstyle like Hayate's.
In the 3rd season, Shin had served Yukariko as her butler while planning his escape with the Kurotsubaki (Black Camellia), a clock that brings bad luck but can grant the owner a life full of miracles. However, he eventually fell in love with Yukariko and instead wished to be the man worthy of her. He proposed and they ended up getting married, and spent their honeymoon in Shimoda.After losing his parents at a young age and growing up in a very poor environment, Shin always dreamed of becoming something big. Spending his adolescent days stealing from others, Shin grew into a well-known American thief until he met Yukariko. He died in a car accident in Las Vegas. Mikado reveals that Shin was a con artist who married Yukariko aiming for the Sanzenin fortune, or so he thought. In episode 11, reveals the Black Camellia is a magical sword that exchanges a person's soul, Shin was really inside the Black Camellia for 13 years until Hayate got stabbed, they switch souls, and Nagi finally meets her father (in Hayate's body). Shin wanted back the ring stolen by his former employer Dolly that signifies his and Yukariko's eternal love. At the end of the series, Shin reunites with Yukariko to the afterlife.
Seishirou Klaus (倉臼 征史郎 Kurausu Seishirō )
Voiced by: Kenta Miyake
Klaus is the 58-year-old head butler of the Sanzenin family, who is usually away on business. He was Yukariko's butler when she was young. He is jealous of Hayate because he does a better job than he does. He had made several plans to fire Hayate, but they all failed, a similarity to Mikado's failing idiotic plans. He saw Hayate crossdress as a catgirl without knowing that Hayate was forced to by Nagi and Maria (episode 8). He is self-centered, has a low alcohol tolerance, doesn't do well with tobacco or women, and likes cars and bikes. Klaus once had a dog named Lucky that used to live in the Sanzenin garden, Lucky appear in chapter 183, chewing Izumi's doll before attempting to attack her, Hayate saves her by hitting him with a large stick. Klaus always gets beat-up by Nagi when he tries to fire or discourage Hayate.
He is currently in love with Hayate's female character, Hermione Ayasaki.
Akane Himegami (姫神 茜 Himegami Akane)
Voiced by: Mitsuo Iwata
Akane was Nagi's butler before Hayate. He has yet to make a personal appearance in the manga, but a torn corner of a picture recently discovered (chapter 369) shows Himegami as a child. Judging from the way Nagi and Maria speak of him, he quit due to a problem related to Nagi's personality traits. Neither Nagi nor Maria seem to want to elaborate on his departure. Also with references from the first volume he was close to Nagi. He wrote a book on how a butler can acquire a one-hit kill technique, but later Nagi burnt the book. He is probably around Hayate and Maria's age. In episode 34 of the anime, he makes his appearance, but with his face obscured by the shadows. He returns once more in episode 38 wearing a mask. In episode 39 his face is shown. In chapter 225, Sonia Shaflnarz mentions that were rumors indicating that Akane might have been fired for trying to steal the treasure of the Sanzenin family that is associated with the King's Jewels. In the anime, he also insists that he be called "Princess God" rather than Himegami, which is a direct translation of his surname.
Himegami originally made a brief appearance on the bottom panel at the end of Chapter 146 but was later taken out and replaced with the panel of Hayate and Nagi holding hands.
Tama (タマ Tama)
Voiced by: Jūrōta Kosugi
Tama is a white tiger from Africa, who was rescued by Nagi as a cub, and was raised on Matsuzaka beef and expensive tuna fish, making him incapable of going to the zoo or back to the wild. He can speak the human language, though he does not reveal this to Maria or Nagi because he doesn't want to shatter the girls' dreams. He will lay his life down to protect Nagi, as Nagi saved his life and raised him herself.
Despite the fact he is a white tiger, he was found by Nagi while she was exploring Africa. The manga artist admitted that he made a mistake when fans wrote to him pointing out there are no tigers in Africa. Because of this, when Nagi first finds Tama, she becomes convinced that he is just a cat. Usually when Tama is speaking or involved in a comical situation, he looks rather cartoon-like and, when standing on his hind legs, is about human size. He appears this way in most of his appearances, although he will occasionally be drawn in his actual size and appearance. He has been known to imitate other people's voices, and has done a perfect imitation of Nagi once.
Tama is often seen relaxing or doing human-like activities. However, he seems to enjoy reading male model magazines in his free time, which only goes to show Tama's odd behavior. He once fell in love with a tiger on a picture of a magazine advertisement for Brazil, and tried to machinate a plan involving Klaus' retirement just to get to go see her, before being reminded by Hayate that there are no tigers in Brazil. After Nagi had moved to the Violet mansion she requested that Hayate bring Tama into the new house. Later, Isumi has given him the collar of Nibelungs.
Shiranui (シラヌイ(白野威、【しらぬい】) Shiranui)
Voiced by: Kana Asumi
The "White Kitten" Hayate receives from Hinagiku. He is black with a small white X-shaped scar in his forehead. He has a very devilish personality and deliberately gets Tama into trouble. A teary eyed Hinagiku had to say goodbye to Shiranui because her mom had cat allergy. Hayate then decided to take Shiranui and find him a new owner. When Hayate returned to the Sanzenin Mansion, he was immediately welcomed back by Nagi who caught sight of the cat. At first Nagi was doubtful as to taking care of the cat but quickly changed her mind and decided to make the cat a member of the Sanzenin family and named the cat as Shiranui. His name is a reference from the videogame Okami, whose protagonist is also known as Shiranui. Kenjiro Hata apparently was playing this game prior to naming Shiranui.
Shiori Makimura (牧村 志織 Makimura Shiori)Voiced by: Rina Satō
Shiori Makimura is a genius scientist with the Mikado Hyper Energy (M.H.E) Electronics Corporation as the Chief of Development, Humanoid Nursing and Battlefield Weapons Department, and Advanced Technology Development Division for the Sanzen'in. Her specialties is computers and mechas. Her development team created Nursing Robot Eight and other mechas seen in the series. She is in fact so talented, that she had even built a mecha when she was half asleep. During her high school years she was the vice president of the student council in Hakuou. The president at that time was Maria. She enjoyed calling Maria nicknames like "Little President"; takes growth vidoes of her, similar to what the Hakuou Three Amiga does to Hinagiku. In volume 3, robot Eight asks her to be his girlfriend and she accepts, but later breaks up. In episode 23, Shiori is sent to teach her old school, Hakuō Academy, because her superiors believe she does not have enough heart. Another weakness Shiori has is that she is often quite forgetful, completely forgetting about building Eight and overlooking the installation of a critical control chip in one of her mechas, which lead to disastrous results.
Sanzenin SP (三千院SP Sanzenin esupī)
SP leader Voiced by: Takahumi Kawakami
The secret police with a force of over 2000, they are hired by the Sanzenins to ensure the safety of the mansion's occupants (especially Nagi). They can be easily distracted from their duties sometimes, for example, once they were distracted by a concert while searching for Nagi at Hakuō Academy.
Although they will obey Nagi's orders, her authority can be overridden by Maria (who will intervene when Nagi's demands become unrealistic), who can be considered the head of security for the mansion (in addition to being a maid).

Not unpredictably, Nisekoi: decides to wrap things up with “Best Girl” Kirisaki Chitoge. The story of the first half is simple: she loses and then eventually finds her beloved red ribbon. But because the ribbon carries so much sentimental power for her—due to its connection to both her beloved mother and her beloved Raku—that the time she’s separated from it and worried it could be in some dumpster somewhere is a palpable yawning chasm of near-Mr. Despair-like despair. Even Marika is thrown off by how meek and out of sorts her rival is.
No one is more worried/concerned about Chitoge than Raku, however. While her predicament makes it easier for him to see her feminine side (though physically she’s still a beast) and he entertains the notion that things might be better if she just stayedlike this, at the end of the day he’s a fan of the status quo, which means a cheerful—if sometimes unreasonable and violent—Chitoge.
So he buys a new ribbon for her. She immediately sniffs it out as a brand-new impostor, but because she’s so distraught, her guard is down and she expresses genuine gratitude for Raku’s kindness.
Then Raku spots the real ribbon atop an electric pole, and the super-athletic Chitoge springs into gear…only to watch in horror as her ribbon catches on the train cable and gets shredded by a train. But at some point in her pursuit, she stopped following the real one and pursued the fake, which is the one that got destroyed. Raku produces the real one, unharmed…or is it?
When she puts it back on she returns mostly to her normal best self, but when she’s back home, we see she’s painstakingly repairing the destroyed ribbon Raku said was the fake new one, but there’s a chance the messed-up one was the real one, and Raku again switched them up to make her feel better. But at this point, she’s happy she has two ribbons, both of which her love Raku gave her at different times in her life.
The second part is one of the best kinds of Nisekoi segments: those spent primarily in Chitoge’s head as she struggles with precisely what kind of feelings she has for Raku and if, when, and how to express them to him. It’s clear her heart wants her to confess, but her head overanalyzes and sweats over every detail and eventuality and potential effect of her words or actions, all coalescing into a paralyzing effect; no matter what goes on in her head, Raku can’t see or hear anything but the slightest hints; all to easily misinterpreted or simply not noticed.
Chitoge seeks advice from her dad, who tells her the outrageous tale of how he met Hana. Back then she was a student juggling 17 jobs to pay her tuition, one of which was pizza delivery girl. She delivered a pizza while Chitoge’s future dad was it the middle of a shootout with a rival organization (well, he wasn’t doing the shooting, but directing from a pool lounger). Seeing Hana so confidently stride into the middle of a warzone…it was love at first sight for pops.
But he goes on to say that wasn’t the case for Hana: he had to suffer multiple embarrassments, rejections, and yes, broken bones before Hana finally fell for him. Chitoge may be right that her parents’ tale of coming together is atypical, but she’s wrong that it doesn’t resemble her own romance with Raku in some fashion. The difference is, Raku still keeps their relationship at an arm’s length due to it’s official “fakeness.”
But he still gets clobbered by Chitoge regularly, and as we saw from the last segment, when she suddenly stops being herself, he not only notices, but worries about her and wants to help. Turns out, the chemistry between her and Raku is so good, the question of how or when to confess to him is more or less resolved by Raku himself.
In talking about how they’ve been fake lovers for more than a year now, reminds Chitoge what she really wants, which is to spend more time with him. And as long as she can do that, there’s no rush to say the words…which is good, because she can barely say them to her stuffed Chitoge gorilla.
The way this episode ended didn’t promise a third season of Nisekoi, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised. But would I watch it? While hardly any show beats around the bush as stylishly and confidently as Nisekoi, the lack of deal-closing was just as frustrating this season as it was in the first, and the show show no signs of fixing that.
Fortunately, it rarely has to, as its episodic nature lets us focus on and revel in the colorful variety of love interests Raku has to choose from, which makes us forget for just long enough that he’ll never choose any of them.
