Total Skill Points: 50

Copyright ©2001, 2003 Ken AkamatsuAt age five, Keitaro promised a playmate that when they grew up, they would both enter Tokyo University, get married, and live happily ever after. Although the exact identity of that playmate faded in his mind, the romantic notion of going to a prestigious university and reuniting with his soul-mate made him set his sights high--higher than his meager scholarly abilities seemed to allow him to reach. After failing the entrance exam twice, and with his parents refusing to keep funding his failures, Keitaro went to visit his grandmother's hotel, Hinata House, hoping to either find cheap lodging or a new source of cash. Here, he discovered that the hotel had been converted into a hostel for girls and that his grandmother had left on a world cruise.

All seemed lost, until Keitaro's Aunt Haruka arranged for him to become the hostel's landlord and general handyman. After a rocky start, he eventually became a fast friend to the five girls who were regular renters in the converted hotel, becoming particularly close to Naru Narusegawa... despite the latter's tendency to assume the worst of sexual perversions as far as Keitaro goes. It soon turned out that she had made a promise to someone regarding Tokyo U. Could Naru be Keitaro's "Promise Girl"? And will he survive the craziness of Hinata House's five resident girls to find out?

Keitaro is slight of build, near-sighted, and fairly non-descript in appearance. The most remarkable things about him is his near-boundless capacity for kindness, his never-say-die spirit, and a near-supernatural ability to suffer physical punishment and live. He also displays a natural aptitude for the martial arts, particularly when facing certain death at the hands of teenaged kendo-master Motoko.
