Both of them are very worried about their son's social ineptness, and both of them want him to become more sociable. Seitaro Takamine is the one who first saved Zatch in England, while in Japan, Hana Takamine is the one who takes care of both Zatch and Kiyo.

In the English version, the math teacher is voiced by Wally Wingert, and the math teacher's wife is voiced by Michelle Ruff.

[edit] Naomi

Naomi (なおみ) is Zatch's biggest challenger off of the demonic battlefield. Her main goals in life seem to be preventing Zatch from making friends, beating up on Zatch, and basically causing as much emotional and physical pain as possible for the little mamodo. Yet, despite the seemingly endless list of evil qualities, Naomi does seem to have a few redeeming values deep down inside. She always seems to have her teeth clenched all the time, and has a toy car she drives around in. According to Kane, Naomi lives in the same neighborhood as him, as mentioned in Episode 32. She also seems to get along well with Tia, as seen in Episode 40.

Naomi first appears in episode 4. In the English version of the series, she is voiced by Michelle Ruff. In the Japanese version, she is voiced by Shihomi Mizowaki.

When Kiyo makes a rather insensitive remark regarding this fact, Yuuta gets angry, and decides to take revenge by stealing Zatch's book. Yuuta appears in the sixth episode of the series.

Ivy Kinoyama is the caretaker of Mochinoki's Botanical Gardens. She has known Kiyo ever since Kiyo used her gardens as a refuge from the intense bullying he faced at school.

[edit] Kory

A boy that Zatch and Kiyo meet in England. His parents were kidnapped by Steng for confronting him about his terrorization of their town. He gets injured escaping from one of Steng's "Ghost Knights". Later on, Kory steals Kiyo's luggage and he gets chased across London by Zatch. Seitaro, Kiyo's father, was also kidnapped by Steng, although he was hired by Zeno to do so. When Kiyo defeated Steng's mamodo, Baltro, and frees all the kidnapped villagers, he also rescued Kory's parents who had been taken to the lowest part of the castle. In Japanese, his name is Sekkoro.

He is voiced by Yuko Mita in the Japanese version, and by Yuri Lowenthal in the English version.

[edit] Kotaro Doronma

Kotaro Doronma is a horse-faced con-man who's also known as Phantom Thief Doronma. Ponygon encountered him in his search for his book's owner thinking he's his book keeper. He and Zatch help him pull off multiple robberies under the pretence that it was to help the poor as charitable and then head off to a millionaire's mansion. After Zatch and Ponygon set off every alarm in the mansion, the police were there on the scene and Kotaro Doronma is arrested. When asked about Ponygon's book, Doronma didn't know what language it is. An OAV was later made about this character.

In the English version of this series, Kotaro Doronma is voiced by Richard Epcar.

[edit] Jeff and Jeff's Grandfather

Jeff is a boy that Sherry and Brago rescue from a large bear alongside his grandpa. Brago says some things to encourage Jeff to be brave.

[edit] The Majestic Twelve

A league of American superheroes hired by Dr. Riddles to combat Zatch and Kiyo. They are later pitted against some Millennium Mamodo that were with Byonko, but revealed to be quite incompetent in doing so. However, it was enough for the Millennium Mamodo to let their guard down.

In order of introduction, they are:

• Lightning Eye (Two-Lighting Eye in the Japanese version), who shoots lasers from his eyes;
• Rocket Foot (Rocket Hood in the Japanese version), with a top speed of 300 km/h;
• Flying Beet, born able to soar the sky;
• Second Sight, a man with clairvoyance;
• Dinosaur Arm, with the strength of a dinosaur;
• Future Wonder (Wonderful to the Future in the Japanese version), who can see into the future;
• Psychic Jungle (Psycho Jungle in the Japanese version), a wild barbarian who can throw lightning;
• Fire Elbow, who can use pyrokinesis;
• Lady Susan (Big Boing in the Japanese version), who smells nice (a bit like lavender). Her Japanese name refers to her oversized chest, upon which her attack involves bouncing it up and down to distract everyone. She is the most prominent of the twelve, consistently seen alongside Dr. Riddles.
• Blizzard Thing, a youth who can summon ice;
• Tremor Mole, who can travel freely through the ground; and
• Telepathy Radar who commands them all and enhances their powers.

[edit] Washi

A hawk who flew Zatch all the way from England to Kiyo's house, he only appeared in episode 1 and episode 26 in a flashback.

[edit] Minor/Other Mamodo

[edit] Ponygon's Mother

Ponygon's mom is seen a very few times and as flash back such as when she was making the rope for Ponygon's book and calling him Schneider.

[edit] Black Knight

The Black Knight's duty is to protect the 101st book and to capture the one that stole it.

[edit] Principal of the Mamodo School

The Principal of the Mamodo School is the one who decides which 100 mamodo can go to the human world. He is one of the oldest mamodo in existence, and sleeps constantly. When Kiyo and Zatch return to the mamodo world in the first movie, the Principal tells the Zatch how he, such an unlikely candidate for the mamodo battle, ended up in the fight. A ball that Zatch was playing with crashed through his window, and the wind from the open window blew away Wiseman's acceptance form, which was just about to be stamped for entering the battle. The principal saw that only Zatch Bell's had stayed on the desk, and decided that he would do. During the events of the movie, the principal trusts in fate that Zatch was MEANT to be a contestant in the battle for king, and that he had made the right choice.

[edit] Okame

Okame is a friend of Mopu and acts as a taxi-service for Zatch and company.

[edit] Owl

Owl is the Black Knight's companion and like most of the other mamodo he can speak.

[edit] Mopu

Mopu, the talking mop, lives in the mamodo school.

[edit] Feather Pen

Pen can speak and float around. She spends most of her time on the prinicipal's desk.

[edit] Dr. M2

Dr. M2, the mamodo scientist that created the Mecha Vulcans. He based them on a mechanical Vulcan prototype made by a future Kiyo. Impressed with Kiyo's intelligence, Dr. M2 travles back in time to when Kiyo was partners with Zatch, to make Kiyo HIS partner and teach him his "magic science," of which the doctor is the only user of in the mamodo world. After his capture, and after M2's explanation of his mission and where he came from, on of Kiyo's first questions for the doctor is who the current mamodo King is, hoping for Zatch to have made it in his kind king quest. Dr. M2 only answers that he is uninterested in the "outdated battle," and does not elaborate any further.

[edit] General Rajin

A leader working alongside the king of the mamodo, his main duties are watching over Zeno and training him to prepare for the eventual mamodo king fight.

[edit] The Mamodo King

The winner of the fight one-thousand years ago, as well as the father to both Zatch and Zeno. It is through his will that the current one-hundred children sent to Earth are forced to take part in the modern mamodo fight. However, he separated his twin sons leading to different experiences for both: a peaceful academy life for Zatch and a hard training regiment for Zeno. Like his boys, he possesses an immense electric ability, but his ultimate power is that of "Baou", which has ended up being inherited by Zatch, leading to the scorn Zeno feels for him and for his own abilities. It is unknown what kind of king he actually is outside of the experiences and feelings Zeno has towards him, since Zatch has no memories of his past life in the mamodo world.
