This is a list of characters from the manga and anime series Ghost Sweeper Mikami.

Mikami GS Agency

[edit]
Reiko Mikami (美神 令子, Mikami Reiko)
She is an attractive 31 year old exorcist using Japanese traditional methods and the president and owner of the ghost sweeping agency, Mikami GS. She uses a lightsaber-like energy sword as a spiritual weapon, exorcism charms, ofuda talismen and martial arts skills when dealing with supernatural entities. She was initially trained by the pastor father Karasu, but she was not satisfied with a life of poverty and seeks to become wealthy from the success of her exorcism business. Her motto is "profit comes first", often gouging her clients for a higher fee and is stingy when it comes to paying her employees.
Tadao Yokoshima (横島 忠夫, Yokoshima Tadao)
A 17-year-old high school student, poorly paid assistant of Mikami. His hourly wage is 250 yen per hour, but later increased to 255 yen. He likes beautiful girls and is infatuated by both Okinu and Mikami, although he will chase any attractive woman. He appears to have dormant spiritual abilities and later on in the manga, with the help of Shoryuki, Yokoshima gains various abilities of his own. He also gains the unique ability of creating balls from spiritual energy called Monju, apparently the only one in the world with this power.
Kinu Himuro (氷室 キヌ, Himuro Kinu) also known as Okinu (おキヌ)
A beautiful teenage female ghost who was sacrificed over 300 years ago at the age of 15 or 16 to calm a volcanic mountain's anger. The process was unsuccessful and she became jibakurei or earthbound spirit. She first encountered Mikami and Yokoshima at the mountain's hot spring and Mikami "adopts" her to become the secretary and errand girl for Mikami's agency. Yokoshima is attracted to Okinu and she is fond of him, but they do not form a romantic relationship.
Later in the manga, Okinu's spirit reunites with her body which was safely preserved in ice. She begins the life of a normal teenage girl, but after temporarily losing her memory, she realizes that she is a natural necromancer with healing powers and the ability to understand a spirits' pain.
Kenki-kun (見鬼くん)
It is a spiritual detector (霊体探知機) used by Mikami. It looks like a toy figure and contains a Seirei Seki (精霊石, "Spirit Stone") in its head which helps it point in the direction of the closest spiritual power. In the anime the Kenki-kun acts as the narrator.
Shibusaba Artificial Ghost no. 1 (渋鯖 人工幽霊壱号, Shibusaba Jinkō Yūrei Ichi-gō, A.Y.; Manga only)
An artificial soul created by the occult scientist, Doctor Shibusaba and rightful owner of his under house under the name of Shibusaba's son. In the search for a strong spiritualist whose spiritual wave matches her own, Mikami became the house's new owner, and the building has served as her agency since then.

Karasu's church

[edit]
Kazuhiro Karasu (唐巣 和宏, Karasu Kazuhiro, Father Karasu)
A male Catholic priest exorcist who was expelled from the church because of his methods, he used to be both Mikamis' (mother and daughter) mentor, 45 years old. He is said to be one of the best and most powerful exorcists currently active thanks to his training on Myoushinzan, but with the progressing story, he becomes more like an advisor than a ghost sweeper. In one point of the manga it is suggested that he will become the chairman of the GS community one day.
Pietro de Bloodeau (Pete) (ピエトロ・ド・ブラドー, Pietoro do Buradō)
A 700-year-old half vampire. He's currently a teenager in his physical appearance. He is the son of Count Bloodeau (Pronounced Blado) who is said to be "cousin of the husband of Count Dracula's sister". While he is currently a disciple of Father Karasu, he used to know Karasu years before. He also goes to the same school as Yokoshima, and because of his handsome look, he's very popular with many girls, including Emi Ogasawara. His big dream is to become an Occult G Man one day, which will be granted at the end of the Manga.

Doctor Chaos' lab

[edit]
Doctor Chaos (ドクター・カオス, Dokutā Kaosu)
An old senile male alchemist / exorcist with a genius level intellect. Being immortal (or at least 1000 years old), he has acquired much knowledge of the supernatural. Unfortunately, he forgets something he already knows if he tries to learn something new, which leads to him constantly rereading his old books and a lot of running gags. While nearly all of the main Ghost Sweepers other than Meiko and Mikami are implied to be in a very deep financial rut, Chaos is the Ghost Sweeper whose dire financial straits is most often displayed and he is regularly pursued by his landlady for the rent. He had to loan Maria out to Mikami as collateral for a loan to build Teresa, and in an anime episode where the group entered a movie set in Japan's Edo period, he and Maria were depicted as peasants.
Maria (マリア)
A tough-fighting Gynoid and companion of Dr. Chaos, created from the image of Dr. Chaos's lover in his younger days. She is strong, fast and resistant to damage, hiding all kind of weapons in her body. She is a kind-hearted "person" who possesses a soul and the urge to serve mankind, unlike her sister Teresa. Maria acts as Dr. Chaos' main weapon, bodyguard and housekeeper.
Teresa (テレサ)
The second android Chaos invented, though relying more on modern technology than magic. This might also be the reason she regards the humanity as a failure and even tried to conquer mankind. Through the clash with her sister Maria, she sunk into the ocean and her body has never been found.

Ogasawara GS Agency

[edit]
Emi Ogasawara (小笠原 エミ, Ogasawara Emi)
A 29 years old dark-skinned female voodoo exorcist and chief competitor to Mikami's ghost sweeping business. According to Mikami, Emi is the strongest voodoo user worth competing with her and has three muscular assistants: Arnold, Schwarze and Negger. Even though they are competitors, they can rely on each other in times of emergency. Emi is apparently in love with Pietro de Bloodeau and uses any opportunity she can get to approach him.
Unlike Mikami, Emi had a way darker past: she lost both her parents at the age of 10 and made a living as an assassin until the age of 15 when she gave up that career due to an incident.
Tiger Torakichi (タイガー 寅吉, Taiga Torakichi, Manga only)
A large, muscular man, who is hired by Emi to defeat Mikami. After his failure, he stays as Emi's disciple and assistant. Tiger used to be a woman chaser just like Yokoshima and was nicknamed "molesting tiger", but he now has a fear of women. His has the ability to create illusions through telepathy.

Rokudou family

[edit]
Meiko Rokudou (六道 冥子, Rokudō Meiko)
An innocent-looking but extremely powerful female who directly controls 12 Shikigami, which are named after the Japanese names of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, legendary Hindu figures who became Buddhists: (Indara, Ajira, Kubira, Basara, Shindara, Sanchira, Haira, Makora, Shôtora, Anchira, Bikara, and Mekira). They're in animal form, caricatures of the symbols that these figures carry, which come from the Chinese counting series Earthly Branches. Normally they are under control, but whenever Meiko becomes distraught, her "pets" destroy anything or anyone within their reach. Unfortunately for all, Meiko is sensitive, weak-willed and easily hurt, therefore the Shikigami are set on the loose very frequently. She regards Reiko as her closest friend because she was the only person to ever talk to her and was able to calm Meiko down when she first lost control of her shikigami in public. Although she acts and looks younger than Mikami, she is actually older (her mother was shown to be pregnant with her before Mikami's mother even met her husband).
The 48th generation of Rokudou (六道 第48代, Rokudō Dai Yonjū-hachi-dai)
The current mistress of the Rokudō mansion, and the former master of the Shikigami, she is still able to control them at will. She used to be both Mikami Michie's and Karasu's mentor, and after retiring from the GS business, she now runs the Rokudou Girl High school, a school for female elite spiritualists.

He is Mikami Reiko's first love, and even though they have been separated for 10 years, he still has feelings for her. Even though he claims to fight for justice, his methods are sometimes very dirty, making him a hypocrite.
Michie Mikami (美神 美智恵, Mikami Michie, Manga only)
Mikami's mother, a first class GS who is in fact one of the strongest GS of all time, 39 years old. Her ability to time travel and absorb lightning might be due to her inherited powers from both of her parents, who used to be first class GS. Additionally she absorbed part of her husband's psychic ability and the power of a demon. At the age of 18, she became the apprentice of Karasu for a short period of time. With a very strong sense of justice, she believes that evil will never prevail, which is why she became a ghost sweeper in the first place.

Yokoshima's father, and a Casanova just like him. But unlike his son, Daishuu is very popular with women. He is shown to have incredible power for a regular person, and even manages to beat up spirits bare handed, which might be an explanation of the origin of Yokoshima's high spiritual power.
Yuriko Yokoshima (横島 百合子, Yokoshima Yuriko, Manga only)
