Urd's former boyfriends, broke up with her to pursue his dream of taming the golden nightingale. He thinks he can sing. He's self-centered, jealous, jumps to conclusions, and has a habit of magically attacking anybody who seems to be Urd's current boyfriend - usually by singing a curse that causes bugs to crawl out of every body orifice of the victim.

Line 232:
 
=== The Almighty ===
The Lord of Heaven. As Lord of Heaven, all goddesses ultimately answer to Him and He is responsible for maintaining reality, time, and probability as we know it. His attitude and personality is very commanding, but he is very polite and forgiving; He has forgiven the Norns for disobeying His orders multiple times (as is suggested by Keiichi in the manga). The Almighty One is very blunt and straight-forward. He does not understand how humans act and communicate; possibly because He has not been to Earth in a long time. Throughout the manga and anime he is an unseen character as viewers never see his face, which is usually shrouded in shadow, turned away, or simply too close-up; all that can be discerned is that the Almighty One is tall and well-built, with long black hair. He also has many seals on His hands, neck and on his ears (this could probably be a clue as concerns the fact he may be the divinity in doublet with Hild, as also we can imagine listening to her discussing on the Double System). It is [[Fanon|believed by some people]] that the Almighty is the father of the three Norns. During the Trouble with Doublets saga (in the Dark Horse Comics translation of the manga), Belldandy answers the phone and tells her sisters "It's the Almighty." After Urd loses odds and evens against Skuld, she answers with "Oh goodness, Daddy?! It's been ages!" However, it should be noted that in the original Japanese version, Kami-sama is not referred to in this way. It is very likely that it is a translation error, as is the case with the OVA dub script, where Kami-sama is referred to as the Norns' father as well. In the subtitles for the OVA he is referred to simply as "lord" in the places where the dub uses "father".

Voiced by: [[Yuriko Fuchizaki]] (JP), Emily Blau (EN - TV Series), Amanda Spivey (EN - OVA), Stephanie Greene (EN - Movie)
 
Keiichi Morisato's younger sister. She attends the Nekomi Institute of Technology (NIT), like Keiichi, as an engineering student. Megumi is also a very skilled mechanic and motorcycle driver, and is on the varsity softball team. She goes on to become the "queen" of bike racers around Nekomi. Belldandy has remarked that she sees a similarity between Megumi and Skuld, and that she would like to see Skuld learn some things from Megumi.
 
As we know from theher recent{{when}}last developmentscharacter arc in the manga, she has a lot of success with boys, but she is not lucky in love because all of her boyfriends feel [[No Guy Wants an Amazon|eclipsed by her motor-queen status]]. The Dark Horse translation suggests there's also a bit of [[Big Brother Worship]] verging on [[Big Brother Attraction]], as she's shown telling one boy, "You'll never hold a candle to Keiichi."

Keiichi's [[Sempai-Kohai|Kohaii]] and current director of the Nekomi Motor Cycle Club.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Hasegawa include:}}
Line 503 ⟶ 505:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't ever, ever say that she looks like a high-schooler.
* [[Cool Car]]: Drives a original Fiat 500.
* [[Informed Ability]]: Implied to be a [[Wrench Wench]] by virtue of her being in the Nekomi Motor Cycle Club as well as a few comments by the other club members, though we never actually see her working on anything.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Her nickname was the "Chef Murderer," Belldandy eventually [[Character Development|helps her get better]].
** ActuallyThe trope is played straight in the manga, but her case is an interesting subversion. Inin the TV series (where they combined two of Sora's manga [[A Day in the Limelight|Days in the Limelight]] into one episode). In that continuity, she was actually a great cook, but suffered a [[Heroic BSOD]] whenever asked to cook for an audience, causing her skills to deteriorate. This tied into the plot of the episode, where she had performance-anxiety issues about a go-kart race for NIT's AutoMotor Club. Again, Belldandy, being the kind of [[Physical God|"person"]] she is, helped Sora get [[Incredibly Lame Pun|(heh)]] back on track.
* [[Meganekko]]
* [[Theme Naming]]: Fujimi, Tamiya, Otaki and Hasegawa are all named for Japanese model-making companies.
