Keiichi Morisato (森里 螢一) is the main character of the series. A student at Nekomi Institute of Technology and a member of the NIT Motor Club, Keiichi accidentally dials the Goddess Relief Office one day and summons the goddess Belldandy who offers him a wish. After wishing for her to be by his side forever due to her kind nature, he and Belldandy move into a temple and have been together ever since.
Keiichi's pure and innocent personality puts him in an unusual love relationship. While he understands his love for Belldandy, he sometimes has a difficult time expressing his feelings, not helped when Belldandy's two sisters, Urd and Skuld, also come to live with them.
He is a very skilled mechanic and an exceptional race driver. He is bestowed the directorship of the Motor Club, which he subsequently passes on to Sora Hasegawa. At his supposed graduation from college, it turned out that he had one language credit short and had to take another entire year just to pass. In the meanwhile, he started working at the repair shop Whirlwind owned by Chihiro Fujimi, the founder of the NIT motor club.
Since he met Belldandy, Keiichi has had many extraordinary experiences in his young life, including having met several other Goddesses and supernatural beings.
Keiichi's personality is illustrated when he summons one of Lind's own Angels, Cool Mint. Lind gave him one of her angels because he is able to host the angel with the love of the three goddesses, which he received due to his innocent personality. Later on, Keiichi also temporarily and involuntarily hosts the demon-angel Blue Lance. The reason why the angel chooses him to be the host at random was explained as that he is the only person referring to her as an "angel" and not a "former demon".
