Characters
edit- Honoka Sawada (沢田 ほのか, Sawada Honoka)
- Voiced by: Yuka Iguchi
- Honoka is a 14-year-old girl in middle school who lost her parents at a young age and now lives with her aunt Rikako. She is a shy girl who lacks self-confidence and her classmates take advantage of her. The series begins with her wishing she wasn't so lonely and this wish is granted when she becomes Mao's substitute mother. As the series progresses she develops feelings for Shin.
- Mao (まお)
- Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya
- The baby devil that is given to be raised by Honoka. His main costume is based on a dinosaur and it gives him the ability to breathe fire. Overall Mao is a happy child, but he scares easily and often bursts into tears over the smallest of things – though he is always quick to recover. As the story progresses he becomes aware of this and often tries to overcome his fears and flaws in an attempt to impress Honoka. His favourite food is pancakes.
- Shin Sugisaki (杉崎 真, Sugisaki Shin)
- Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino
- Shin is a boy in his second year of high school and is Mao's substitute father. He was introduced to Honoka by Kyou and agreed to help Honoka raise Mao at his suggestion. It is revealed in Episode 28 that he has a fear of needles but overcomes this phobia to help the devil children get inoculated.
- Karin (かりん)
- Voiced by: Ryō Hirohashi
- A baby devil who goes to the same nursery as Mao. Her main costume is based on a penguin and it gives her the ability to project icy blasts from her mouth.

Since Itsuki taught her some childish jokes based on aubergines she's had an obsession with them.

- Rai (ライ)
- Voiced by: Mikako Takahashi
- A baby devil who goes to the same nursery as Mao. His main costume consists of a pink wig with a small hat on it, and matching animal print shorts and this gives him the power to throw electricity. He is a well behaved child who usually acts mature for his age, although he can be quite mischievous at times. His favourite drink is Melon Soda. While learning to speak he spent a lot of time watching Manzai comedy with Shiori which is the reason he speaks with a Kansai dialect.
- Shiori Nakagawa (中川 しおり, Nakagawa Shiori)
- Voiced by: Asuka Nishi
- Shiori is a girl in her first year of middle school and is Rai's substitute mother. She is quite outspoken and to begin with didn't get on well with the other parents. At one point she considered abandoning Rai but after an intervention by Honoka she became more approachable.
- Principal (園長先生, Enchō-sensei)
- Voiced by: Sōichirō Hoshi
- The principal of the Chibi Devi Nursery. He is always seen wearing thick glasses and has a grey moustache, although it's unclear if these are false. He is an apparent expert on baby devils and has written an encyclopaedia on them which he gives a copy of to Honoka when Mao first starts at the nursery. The devil children love to practice their magic on him.
- Ms. Itō (伊藤先生, Itō-sensei)
- Voiced by: Ayumi Fujimura
- The teacher at the nursery. She often berates the Principal for being as silly as the children.
- Pepe (ペペ)
- Voiced by: Ayumi Fujimura
- Pepe is an animal from the Devil World that came to be the nursery's pet. Mao gave him the name Pepe after the sound his tail makes as it beats the floor while he walks. However, it is later revealed that his real name is Torakichi (トラキチ). He is able to understand the human language but only speaks in a series of squawks which are usually then translated by one of the human-language speaking characters present.
- Chiyo (ちよ)
- Voiced by: Yuka Iguchi
- A baby devil from a neighbouring nursery that comes to visit. She is the same age as Mao, Karin and Rai. Her main costume is based on a tanuki and it gives her the ability to, together with Ryū, transform anything in contact with a leaf.
