The following is a list of characters from the series ''Date A Live'' originally written by Kōshi Tachibana and illustrated by Tsunako. ==Main Characters== ; : :Shido is the protagonist of ''Date A Live'' who possesses a strange power that allows him to seal the powers of a Spirit in his body with a kiss; however, the seal will only work if the Spirit holds enough trust or affection toward him to allow it. Although considering trust and affection is a two-way street he probably needs to have a certain amount of affection too, or at least genuinely want to help the spirit from the bottom of his heart which he usually does even before seeking out a spirit. This ability to seal and contain 99% of a spirit's power might have been given to him by Phantom soon after it turned Kotori into the spirit Ifrit. After sealing a Spirit's powers, there will be an invisible link connecting him and the Spirit, through which a portion of the sealed power will flow back to the Spirit if said Spirit's mental state becomes unstable, and back to Shido once the Spirit's mental state restabilizes. So the more angry/distraught/unhappy a spirit is the more power she takes back temporarily while conversely the happier/content/joyful a spirit the more her power level doesn't rise from the minimum level of 1%. He also has the ability to recover from severe injuries which would normally be fatal. This ability is revealed in volume 4 to be due to his having sealed Kotori's power five years prior to the start of the story, and him using her healing ability each time he gets injured. Although this only works on severe or life threatening injuries, minor injuries like scratches and bruises that would heal naturally will heal at a normal human level unless a severe injury triggers the healing flames. Later in volume 5, he discovers he can also use the powers of the Spirits (other than Ifrit's) that he has sealed but he can only use the powers in a limited fashion for a short time as even doing one strong attack drained his energy to the point where he almost passed out and had to be shifted to the hospital. :After sealing the power of several spirits, Shido's own powers go berserk in Volume 12, changing his personality and turning him into a threat. To return Shido back to normal, Kotori and the other spirits must come together to kiss him, so as to calm down his unbalanced sealed power which will cause a disaster worse than what had happened 30 years ago. :While having a completely different personality, Shido tries to 'impress' his classmates Ai, Mai, Mi, his homeroom teacher Tamae Okamine and even Ellen Mira Mathers, who happened to pass by the area Shido was at, by showcasing the powers of the spirits he had sealed(In this case, the power belonging to Yoshino, Miku, Natsumi and Origami). When Kotori and the other spirits came to approach him, Shido shook them off easily and told them that if they want to kiss him, they have to engage him like what he had done to seal the powers of spirits-----a ''date''. :Near the end of volume 12, during his ''date'' with Yoshino, DEM interfered and tried to capture Shido, but he destroyed the team of 20 ''Bandersnatch'' easily using a powerful spirit flash. Later, Shido's sealed powers went completely beserk during his ''date'' with Tohka due to the second spirit calling out for him. He was almost killed while going on a rampage, when Clinton, one of Ratastokr's executives activated the ''Dáinsleif'', a satellite weapon designed to destroy spirits. Fortunately, Shido was saved by ''Phantom'', who then weakened Shido's spirit barrier, so Kotori and the others can break through to kiss him. They succeeded in doing so after violent clashes with him. :Abandoned by his birth mother, he lives with his foster sister Kotori. He has blue hair and brown eyes, and is in his second year in Raizen High School, class 2-4. He was in despair for a time after being abandoned and subsequently adopted, which made him sensitive to similar feelings from others and wanting to bring them out of it, fueling his desire to save the Spirits. He meets his real sister Mana Takamiya later in volume 3. In volume 7 Westcott briefly addresses him as Takamiya before switching back to Itsuka. ; : :Tohka is the first Spirit saved by Shido. She transfers into his class at the end of the first volume. Shido named her for the date of their first meeting, the 10th (though one kanji is different, the tenth day of a month is pronounced as Tohka). Reine later added the Yatogami surname for her. She has long dark purple hair and purple eyes. She is ignorant of the ways of the world, but nevertheless has a normal sense of embarrassment. She seems to have strong feelings for Shido, which she is shown to be unable to understand when she gets jealous after seeing Shido accidentally kiss Yoshino. However, on learning that Yoshino is a Spirit like herself she decides to support Shido in his cause to save the other Spirits such as Kurumi. She even actively participates in battles at times. As of volume 12 she is confirmed to be in love with Shido. :She gets captured by DEM Industries at the end of volume 6, then in volume 7 on seeing Shido ambushed and is about to be killed by Ellen, she is filled with such despair that she transforms and goes on a rampage, attacking everyone in sight including Shido. However he manages to kiss her to bring her back. Westcott calls her transformed state the Demon King, adding that this transformed state is the actual form of Spirits like her in the bordering dimension that they come from before manifesting in this world. :Her Angel is Sandalphon, which takes the form of a broadsword, usually with a throne that doubles as the scabbard, although at times it seems as though she can do just as much damage with or without it, using her hands to project dark energy spheres or bolts in order to slice through inanimate objects with ease. Her Astral Dress, Adonai Melek, consists of a purple ballgown. At full power she shatters the throne (volume 1) and combines the pieces with the sword turning the blade into Halvanhelev (the Last Sword) lengthening the blade several meters long, dramatically increasing her powers and can be charged to unleash an ultimate blow. Fortunately, the one time she used Halvanhelev charged up Shido was able to stop and seal her before the energy was unleashed. When she goes completely berserk (volume 7) her Angel changes to Nahemah, the Qliphoth counterpart of Sandalphon, and her Astral Dress becomes darker in color and more revealing, in this state, Isaac referred her as . Her AST and Ratatoskr codename is Princess. ; : :Kotori is Shido's foster sister and the commander of Ratatoskr who is originally a human that gains the power of a Spirit five years before the beginning the series and thus, saved by Shido at that time. There is no record of how she obtains her Spirit powers, and she is unable to; she does not know why both Shido's and her own memories are vague or missing at that crucial point, though she suspects someone may attempts to erase those memories. However, she is not able to handle her Spirit powers for long before she loses control and is overcome by a powerful need to destroy and kill. When her Spirit powers overwhelm her, she retains almost no memories of any events that transpire during that time. She temporarily takes back her powers from Shido to save him from Kurumi with her power being sealed by Shido once more later on. The reason another sealing was needed was because she took all 100% of her power back breaking the Spirit Link between them that would cause her powers to return to Shido when she calmed down. During this state Shido has none of Ifrit's powers and thus is completely and mortally human which will stay dead when killed. At the second sealing, she and Shido both regain their lost memories of the first sealing: an entity called "Phantom" granted her her Spirit powers when she was left alone at home and crying (with which she destroyed everything around her and nearly killed Shido), told her to kiss Shido if she wanted him to live (which was how Kotori knew about the method to seal a Spirit's powers, and also the ability to heal from serious injuries that Shido got from her), and afterwards stripped them of their memories of its existence, as well as Shido's memories of the entire incident. This memory also disproves Origami's belief that Kotori was the one who killed her parents. :She has red hair, often in twin tails, and her eyes are red. She is almost always shown with a Chupa Chups lollipop in her mouth. She displays two very different characters, bordering on split personality. When she wears white ribbons in her hair, she is completely relaxed and peaceful and shows an immature, spoiled character that's always clinging to her brother. When on Ratatoskr's mothership, ''Fraxinus'', or dealing with major situations, she switches to black ribbons taking on an arrogant, superior attitude to everyone including Shido, but nevertheless still cares deeply for him as shown on many occasions. This difference in character is revealed in volume 4 to be due to Shido giving her black ribbons as a present for her ninth birthday after sealing her powers, and telling her to be strong as long as she wears them. However she is extremely weak to horror-related things, and reacts strongly to them regardless of character. :Her Angel is Camael, a halberd with a flame edge that is capable of changing shape to a cannon that extends to her right elbow. The cannon takes some time to charge up and absorb Kotori's flames and has a devastating attack that blew a hole clean through Zaphkiel and almost killed Kurumi. Kotori with her powers has the ability to recover from severe injuries, which Shido is able to use unconsciously while her powers are sealed inside him. Its represented by healing flames coming out of the wounds. How much of this effect remains when her powers are sealed is unknown. Her Astral Dress, Elohim Gibor (meaning "Almighty God" in Hebrew), is a kimono which mainly consists of the colors pink and cream. In her Spirit form she also has horns growing on her head, with her black ribbons tied on them. Her irises are also a slightly brighter tint of pink in this state. ; : :A highly intelligent classmate of Shido who is athletic, "beautiful", and the most famous person in Shido's school. She is often described as doll-like in appearance. She has short white hair and blue-grey eyes. She is the only human "girlfriend" of Shido, and out of all the other girls who like him, she is the most aggressive in her pursuit of him showing no bounds in her attempts to learn more about him, get closer to him, or even on trying to get more intimate with him. If not obsessive it borderlines as she does some weird things such as knowing Shido's ''exact'' measurements, and dressed up as a maid when he visited her after overhearing he likes maids. Her dating preparations include an energy drink where one drop will increase his energy a hundredfold, chloroform for emergencies, and a pair of handcuffs with masking tape in case she needs to use them. She knew Shido from when they were children living in the same apartment building and him doing something that had a profound impact on her. :Her hatred of Spirits stems from a Spirit who killed her parents five years prior when it blasted her parents after they managed to escape their burning home. Due to this, she joined the AST, in which she holds the rank of Master Sergeant, in an attempt to find the Spirit responsible for the fire codenamed "Ifrit" and kill her. She reluctantly believes Shido when he tells her that while Kotori, who turns out to be "Ifrit", unintentionally started the fire, she did not kill Origami's parents and that there was another spirit there (later named Phantom). Although whether Phantom killed her parents is unknown. However, considering Phantom went to great lengths concealing its identity such as not having a clear image or voice whenever meeting ''anybody'' in addition to wiping Shido's and Kotori's memories 5 years ago its unlikely that it was the girl Origami saw during her parents death. This singular aim of revenge has enough drive within her to overcome her calm, calculating, and composed personality for her to go to the extent of disregarding orders and hysteria, getting her into trouble on more than one occasion. Notably, she was about to be discharged from the AST in volume 5 until Westcott intervened, after which her punishment was reduced to two months of not being allowed to use Realizers. At the end of volume 9, she left the AST to join DEM as a wizard. However, her position in DEM as a wizard did not last long and she became a spirit in volume 10. :In volume 10, she lured Shido to a trap and later attempted to kill the spirits with him out of the way, but was eventually defeated by Tohka when she got back all her spirit powers. She was later turned into a spirit by Phantom and went back in time with the help of Kurumi in an attempt to fend off the Phantom who at the time she thinks was the Spirit who caused her parents deaths, which she was proven wrong just moments after she fended Phantom away, and the truth hit her very hard as she realized who killed her parents, Origami herself. As a result, she falls into extreme despair and turns berserk, similar to but worse than what had happened to Tohka in volume 7. Upon returning from the past, the berserk Origami started attacking the hospital and the surroundings where Shido and the other spirits are at. Shido, bent on reverting Origami to her original self, approaches her, helped by ''Fraxinus'' to fend off her attacks. :In volume 11, thanks to Shido saving her parents while in the past, the world changed and moved to a different timeline. Here, Origami has long hair and a different personality as compared to her previous timeline self. However, her parents still died due to a car accident. She also was an ex-AST member, but this time her reason for joining and leaving was different. Little did Origami know that she actually still manifests Satan within her together with all her memories from the previous timeline. Near the end of volume 11, Origami was invited by Shido to a date but turns into "Devil" upon seeing "Ifrit" flames healing Shido's wound when he injured his left arm, while he tried to save her from falling off a cliff. With the help of the other spirits, Shido managed to reach the inversed Origami who was fighting over the control of her body with her previous timeline self. Origami finally succeeded in gaining control over her body and broke free of Satan's rampage, reverting into Metatron. Shido then took this chance to kiss Origami and sealed her power. At the end of the volume, Shido told Origami that he'll be depending on her (as part of the spirit team) for any future incidents and she accepted with a smile. :Her angel is Metatron which is a large crown that floats around her head, which can call out larger pieces of floating golden pillars that seem to resemble to a larger crown that surrounds her. Her powers are mainly the control of light energy. At the end of volume 10, her angel inversed and became known as Satan in volume 11. In her inversed form, her astral dress, Eheia, turns dark and becomes more revealing. The crown on her head also turns dark and changes shape. Kotori called the inversed Origami a 'worst spirit' comparable to Kurumi. :She is also a protagonist of Date AST Like, a spin-off manga which focuses on her relationship with Mikie in the AST, as well as the main character of Date A Origami, a 4-koma comic strip manga which focuses on the romantic comedy aspect of the main series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Date A Live characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
