Major characters

Keitaro Urashima

Japanese Seiyuu: Yuji Ueda
English Voice Actor: Derek Stephen Prince

A 19 year-old student, at the start of Love Hina, who is trying to get into Tokyo University.

After failing the entrance exams twice and becoming a third-year ronin, he is kicked out of home by his parents, and goes to his grandmother's hotel, thinking that he might be able to stay there.

However, he finds out the hard way that his grandmother has turned the hotel into an all-girls dormitory. Through a combination of bad luck and worse timing, he encounters Naru Narusegawa in the open-air hot springs bath and infuriates her. He then proceeds to land on the bad side of the other dorm residents, before Haruka arrives and metaphorically bails him out. Ultimately, he does end up staying at the Hinata House (Hinata Sō), though the reason varies slightly between the anime and the manga. In the manga, Keitaro is granted the deed to the Hinata House itself by his grandmother; as he now owns the establishment, he becomes landlord by default. In the anime, he is granted only the manager's title and duties.
