Koshian (越庵 Koshian) is a character in the anime/manga series Oh My Goddess!.

Koshian is the Buddhist priest and caretaker of the Tariki Hongan temple (他力本願寺) where Keiichi and the Goddesses currently reside. After witnessing Belldandy's "spiritual enlightenment", Koshian left on a pilgrimage to seek his own enlightenment, leaving his temple and house in the care of Keiichi and Belldandy.

In episode 1 of season 2 of Oh My Goddess!, Koshian reappears having traveled eleven months and three days on his pilgrimage to "become like Belldandy-sama(superior) and bring happiness to everyone, but is caught in the middle of a fight between Urd and Skuld. He attempts to separate the fight, but is blasted with lightning and explosives, and leaves to continue his pilgrimage due to his "inexperience".

He also returns in season 2 episode 21, where he returned for the second time from his training. When he met Belldandy again, he noticed the evil mark on her head and kicked Keiichi and Belldandy out. Strangely, the episode didn't point out where did he go off or what happened to him when the gang went back to the temple again, even though we see him again in episode 22.
