| abstract | - A student of the Nekomi Institute of Technology and a member of the NIT Motor Club. One day Keiichi accidentally dials the Goddess Relief Office. After summoning Belldandy by accident, he ends up wishing for her to be by his side forever. Ever since, the two have been together. Keiichi's pure and innocent personality also puts him in the middle of an unusual love relationship. While he understands his love for Belldandy, he sometimes has a difficult time expressing his feelings. He is a very skilled mechanic and an exceptional race driver. He is bestowed the directorship of the Motor Club, which he subsequently passes on to Sora Hasegawa. At his supposed graduation from college, he started working at the repair shop Whirlwind owned by the founder of the NIT Motor Club: Chihiro Fujimi. He picked up the one class and actually graduated many chapters later.
* Accidental Pervert: Every once in a while, Keiichi becomes one which can be attributed to either pure accident or somebody who pulls the strings in order to make Belldandy jealous and dishearten her enough to leave Keiichi and go back to Heaven. Played for comedy most of the time, as Belldandy trusts Keiichi's loyalty to her.
* Badass Normal: During the Lind arc, Keiichi demonstrated that, thanks to having received love from multiple goddesses, he is one of the few mortals capable of supporting an angel.
* Bigger Is Better in Bed: Implied, in the TV series. When Mara first showed up and turned Keiichi into a scooter (for kicks) after Belldandy and Urd caught her, they made her give them the demonic password to turn Keiichi back to normal. When Keiichi came back naked... Belldandy blushed bright red, while Urd just looked down and grinned happily. Given Urd's personality, it's likely if Keiichi didn't have one of these, she'd have poked fun at him for it.
* Butt Monkey: Occasionally, usually whenever something created by either Urd or Skuld is involved.
* Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Every time Keiichi has naughty taughts about Belldandy, someone notices and promptly calls him out on it.
* Cannot Spit It Out: Has been living with Belldandy for almost two years now in the manga and still has trouble saying "I love you" to her, despite the fact that the two of them obviously already know it.
* Chaste Hero: Has trouble even just saying "I love you" to Belldandy, much to everyone else's chagrin. This is due to Heaven altering Keiichi's mind so that he wouldn't lust after Belldandy to maintain the separation between divine beings and mortals even in the face of the contract that bound Belldandy to him. And Belldandy knew the entire time.
* Chastity Couple: with Belldandy
* Chick Magnet: All the ladies show some interest in him at some point. Exept Chihiro. It's not that kind of series tough.
* Determinator: Able to break out of situations where he shouldn't be able to out of sheer will and love for Belldandy (such as when he was possessed by the Lord of Terror). Also implied in one episode that this is how he's such a good racer - that is due to the training he puts himself through.
* Fun with Acronyms: Gives himself the nickname of K-1 (Kei-ichi)
* Genre Savvy: Knows enough from his experiences with the goddesses to qualify.
* Informed Ability: Speaks (or at least can understand) German, since he supposedly takes it as his foreign language class in school.
* Mistaken for Cheating: Happens to him a lot, either accidentally, or if another woman tries to actively pursue him. Fortunately he only has eyes for Belldandy.
* Nice Guy: If Keiichi wasn't one of these, there'd be no story in the first place. And many girls adore this genuinely Nice Guy, too.
* Only Sane Man
* Understanding Boyfriend: he has somewhat gotten used to the many complications that comes packaged with living with Belldandy and her two sisters.
* Unlucky Everydude: Keiichi started out as this, before eventually being developed into more of a Nice Guy.
* It would be difficult not to become nicer under the constant scrutiny of a divine being.
* Weirdness Magnet: Comes part and parcel with having 3 goddesses living with you.
