Keima Katsuragi, also known as The Capturing God, Otamegane, Kami-sama, Tonkotsu, Divine One and Kaminii-sama, is the main protagonist from The World God Only Knows series.
== Charactah Account ==
Keima is a 17-year-old high school student attending Maijima High School Academy. At an early age, he acquired an obsessive interest in video games; now he is known as "The Capturing God" in the gaming world for his legendary skills in "capturing" any girls in dating sims. But ironically, he is called otamegane (a derogatory portmanteau of the two words otaku and megane-"glasses") by almost everyone in his school due to his extreme devotion to videogames. Despite himself saying he likes girls, it's the perfectly theoretical and beautiful girls of the game world that he prefers, not the girls in reality. His love for games is such that he even goes into withdrawal if he doesn't play games enough and he has the bad habit of locking himself in his room and playing games for days on end when he's depressed.
At the start of the series, Keima becomes a collaborator for catching runaway spirits when he replies to an instigative e-mail to his mail address in his PFP requesting his help to "capture" girls without knowing it was a contract from Hell, to which Elsee appeared and asked for his aid to "capture" girls in real-life. For each individual of the "Capture Targets"—a girl with the runaway spirit in her—Keima utilizes his analytical skills and experiences from dating sims to "capture" them. When he has figured out the final push needed to "capture" a girl (in both reality and games), he says the catchphrase "I can already see the ending." Whenever he isn't capturing runaway spirits, he is almost always seen playing video games on his PFP (a parody of Sony's PSP), which might explain his weak physique.

== Trivia ==
* His first name is derived from the term "gamer". Keima's name could have also come from the names of his father and of his grandfather: Keiichi and Denma, or also from the name of his mother Mari. The kanji “Kei” & “Katsura” in Keima's name are the same, but have different meanings. Kei is used in the name for knight in Shogi and Katsura is a Japanese Judas tree.
* "Keima" is also the name of a shogi (Japanese chess) piece, which is similar to the knight in international chess.
* In the one-shot version of Kaminomi, his name is "Keima Imai" and he is 16 years old, not 17.
* He dislikes sweets and aggressive heroines (mostly Yui).
* His email address was shown, on his PFP, to be "otoshi-god@zumcities.co.jp". "zumcities.co.jp" is a nonexistent site, making the address a fake one.
* During Keima's brief stunt as an actual girl, he began to play otome games (games where the player character is a girl making guys fall in love with her, as opposed to other dating sims), a fact that caused him significant anguish and prompted a comedic scene depicting his will and testament. Yet, he was able to understand the girl's role in dating sims and learn from it.
* His drawing skills are famously bad, to the point of being mocked by even Elsie.
* Keima can use his God of Conquest Mode, which allows him to use six different game consoles to play six different dating sims at once. He can play more games simultaneously if he has more game consoles.
* He likes to present things in a numerical manner, one example being when he says that he has seen a certain type of girl 300 times in games.
* Keima's spectacles is a reference to Wakaki Tamiki's earlier work, Holy Crystal Albatross, being that the heroine Asakura Sakura has the same kind of spectacles.
* Keima dislikes being touched, as he does not want to be touched by anything of the real. As a result, he is not used to the physical contact and has displayed this throughout the series with physical display or verbal cries of "Don't touch me".
* Keima shares his birthday with Asami and Ikumi Yoshino.
* Keima does show that he cares for the girls he has conquered. A few cases include when he kept the "promise" he made to Chihiro and the expression he made after he met with Minami during the reconquest arc.
* He has been confessed to twice: those times were Kanon Nakagawa and Chihiro Kosaka.
