Noragami is an interesting anime adapted from a manga by Adachitoka. The anime tells the story of a god named Yato, who fights to slay evil spirits.
Furthermore, Yato often comes into conflict with other gods who have grudges or personal issues with him. In battle, Yato uses a weapon, also known as a Sacred Treasure, called Yukine/Sekki, which can transform into a sword.
In this article, we would like to diacuss the best characters in Noragami. Who are they? Check out the full discussion below!
10. Tenjin
Tenjin is known as the God of Learning. He has the appearance of an elderly man. He is also very wise and respects those who pray to him.
Tenjin also maintains a good relationship with Yato and other gods, such as Kofuku. He often provides assistance whenever Yato is in trouble. He also likes to assign Yato tasks to slay demons.
9. Rabō
Unlike Tenjin, Rabō is known as the God of Calamity. He has a long and dark history with Yato in the past. The two often claimed human lives in battle.
Rabō once teamed up with Nora and challenged Yato to a fight. He was initially disappointed by Yato's softening attitude. However, he was defeated by Yato in a fierce battle.
8. Daikoku
Next, there's Daikoku, who serves as Kofuku's Sacred Treasure. He looks like an old man and enjoys taking care of household chores. He's generally kind-hearted, but he tends to be rude to Yato.
When he becomes a Shinki, Daikoku transforms into a black fan. He can unleash powerful wind attacks and open the gates of Hell. He can also use the barrier technique known as Kyoukai-sen.
7. Nora
Nora is a stray that was once Yato's Shinki in the past. However, she has had many masters, making her considered disgusting. She often incites Yato to use it.
In the story, Nora often causes trouble for Yato and Yukine. Although her presence is quite troublesome, she is not completely evil because she still deeply cares for Yato.
6. Kazuma
Next, there's Kazuma, who is a Sacred Treasure and Bishamonten's aide. He possesses immense loyalty to his master. Furthermore, he deeply respects Yato because he owes him a great debt.
As a Sacred Treasure, Kazuma can transform into an earring, which is usually worn on Bishamon's ear. He may seem weak and useless, but he is able to maximize the power of the other Sacred Treasures in battle.
5. Kofuku
Kofuku is known as the god of misfortune who often brings bad luck to those around him. This often leads to her being shunned by people and other gods. She also likes to fake her name so she can interact with others.
Despite this, Kofuku has a kind nature and often helps Yato. One of them is giving Yato money. In terms of fighting prowess, she is also considered very strong.
4. Bishamonten
Unlike Kofuku, Bishamonten is a very famous god of war. She has a beautiful appearance and a firm nature. Furthermore, she possesses many Sacred Treasures and treats them like family.
In the story, Bishamonten harbors a deep hatred for Yato because she blames him for the massacre of the Ma clan. However, it was all just a misunderstanding. Yato slaughtered the Ma clan, who had turned into demons, at Kazuma's request.
3. Hiyori Iki
Hiyori Iki was originally just an ordinary girl living a normal life. However, her life changed drastically after she met Yato. Unbeknownst to her, her spirit often left her body, transforming into a half-demon.
During her time with Yato, Hiyori often found herself in dangerous, life-threatening situations. However, she didn't mind. She felt comfortable and happy spending time with Yato and Yukine.
2. Yukine
Before becoming Yato's Shinki, Yukine was a spirit with no place or purpose. He was very young and had a volatile personality. He often put Yato through difficult times.
Despite this, Yukine was fiercely loyal to Yato. He was determined to protect him in battle. Due to his strong devotion, he was able to transform into a Shinki.
1. Yato
First on the list is the eccentric god named Yato, who is not very well known. He has a unique appearance, sporting a tracksuit and a scarf. He's also very poor and enjoys doing various jobs for 5 yen.
Despite this, Yato has a very tragic and sad background. He's obsessed with building a shrine so that others will remember him. He also has a strong desire to protect Yukine and Hiyori.
