Pls note that this contains spoilers for the main game, so please ensure that you've finished everything before reading. Coming from various sources, I machine translated them out of curiosity and couldn't stop thinking about them! 🤣 All of them can be considered either canon or non-canon tho tbh idk, but it's official 9RIP content confirmed.
The fun facts will mainly cover the information I've gleaned from the characters' BD interviews and extra content ranging from Instagram, drama CDs, the LE art book, and voicelines.
Uneven number of fun facts about LI's because sometimes some facts don't strike me as interesting 😞
Kureha:
(Stalker Status: None. Watches over the heroine while she's at school at most. He's just a normal guy 😭)
His parents had a flower bed in their old home, which is why he's quite knowledgable about flowers as a result, including flower language. Is considering gifting Misa a red anemone if possible.
His family has the tradition of putting kanjis that mean "flower" in their names.
His name means "red flower".
Was actually decently popular with girls when he was still alive, but he never noticed their feelings LOL. Hinagiku was so done with him LMFAO
In the old town of Narigahama, fishing was a common job and Kureha's parents were no exception to this. Often times, they'd bring back home seafood for meals. After they died, things were rough but Kureha would always serve fish on the table with nostalgia.
Can't help but be jealous of the boys that have a crush on Misa. Had once accidentally sent a boy to the nurse's office after staring at him too hard for too long. He felt bad for it and sent an unheard apology.
First saw Hibiki when he caught him watching over Sena (and Koyo) and was overjoyed to know that the mirror was one of the few things he could touch.
Hibiki:
(Stalker Status: Does being a guardian spirit count????? I'd say he watches over her frequently in his Godly end but I doubt he comes out of his mirror all that much in his Heavenly end.)
His favorite food back when he was young was the red bean soup his mother would cook for him. He loved it even more if there was a roasted mochi to go with it.
Disliked green onions but always ate them when served because he didn't want to disappoint his mother.
While he liked learning, he hated coming to school having been consistently bullied by his peers. The only reason he went was so that he could talk to Kokkuri-san (aka Koharu), who was his sole friend.
Came out of his mirror to the park to celebrate Kureha's birthday 🥺
Having moved into the old town of Narigahama at some point, he and Kureha must have crossed paths at least once or twice without their knowledge.
When meeting up with Misa: Leaves 3 hours early -> gets lost -> arrives late -> apologizes profusely
Will only accept Kureha as his love rival, will haunt anyone else that gets close
Almost broke Minami's arm once when he was jealous AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Koyo:
(Stalker Status: Absolute zero. Is the stalked. 😭)
His streamer name Yozora means "night sky". He has this name as a contrast to Sena. This is also why his earring has the shape of a moon.
"You are the night sky that watches over and protects silently."
"Put on your bf's oversized t-shirt" trope confirmed and canon UGHHHH 😩 claims it's his favourite look on Misa.
Is strangely particular about his omurice. The one time he'd talked about omurice in his stream, the viewer count dropped down dramatically and became a well known fact among his loyal followers. Since then, Koyo swore off talking about omurice again.
(He likes butter rice with his eggs slightly undercooked, and prefers to make the sauce from tomatoes rather than using ketchup you're welcome.)
Afraid of his mother's cooking
Participated in a butler cafe during the school festival.
Unbeknownst to him, he was actually quite popular with girls in high school, while the rest avoided him because there were rumors floating around that involving yourself with him will get you cursed.
Plans to formally meet Misa's family after her graduation
Sena and him exchanged keychains for their birthday gifts when they first became friends in 1st grade, and Koyo would gift keychains to Sena the next few years.
It was said that he woke up in the hospital after Sena tried to pierce his ears in the mtl but idk how
Sena:
(Stalker Status: Questionable, watches over Misa around 8 hours a day on average 🤷🏻♀️)
Carried every single keychain Koyo gave to him for his birthday.
Convinced Koyo to wear matching earrings based of their stage names, aka star earrings for "SENA" and a moon earring for "Yozora". When Koyo first pointed out he didn't have any piercings, Sena tried to pierce Koyo's ears himself with a thumbtack but he escaped, thankfully.
Likes it when Misa wears star-themed items.
Almost got reported to the H.O for stalking Misa
Both he and Koyo had attended high school while Tsubasa was in her final year, and managed to watch the fashion show she put on for the school festival.
As a result, Sena has known Misa's sister even when he was still alive.
Photobombed a picture between Yoshioka (SympathyKiss) and Radie (Radiant Tale).
Beachfront Park is now haunted because his ghost fans come over to visit him LOL
Seiya:
(Stalker Status: Yep He does take an average of 120+ pictures of her when he can and is always eavesdropping on her.)
Desperate for new workers
Consistently tries to recruit Kureha and Sena into the H.O. but is constantly rejected. He gifted Kureha the H.O. uniform on his birthday.
Originally born in Yorkshire, England.
When trying to cover up the fact that Koyo was a living ghost, he lied to Sena and Kureha about him having a mental state as weak as trash. (I feel like this was personal ngl)
Knows Koyo's entire life story for some reason. Claimed it as "research" during Koyo's BD interview. (I think this goes for every other character)
Distressed by the fact that he was called "emotionally unstable" by Misa
Haunted a boy that had a crush on Misa, no details were disclosed but the words "malevolent spirit haunting" were involved. Says it is necessary for others to experience the pain of heartbreak to grow (something Touka fully supports in)
Whenever he gets upset without Misa around, he looks at pictures of her to calm down. He's thinking of taking videos instead in the future.
After reading various books with the topic of love, he realized his form of love is extremely unusual and is planning on writing a book for those who share the same condition as him (aka pervert/hopeless romantic/has issues????)
Received a letter from his father in heaven on his birthday thanks to Touka (AWWWWWWWWWWW)
Minami:
(Stalker Status: Misa's No.2 stalker and only loses to Touka with a total of 12 years of watching her.)
It's so funny tho imagine telling someone you'd been stalking this one girl for 12 years and they all go like "Wow! You've got great perseverance!" and other bright stuff (Sena ily)
Cuts his own hair. Says he'll gouge out anyone's eyes if they try to do it themselves but is considering to ask Misa to do his hair for him (this freaks out Sena a bit)
His height without the heels is 160 cm (you are welcome)
Yukimaro:
(Stalker Status: Self-proclaimed stalker....??? Wants to beat Touka in terms of stalking. He's trying his best.)
Likes watching Kureha scream in fear when watching horror movies
Tried to gift Misa the "Adoration Flower" on her birthday. It's said that whoever receives this flower will come to adore the one who gives it.
Koharu:
(Stalker Status: Of course not. He haunts her for breaking the taboo but has enough common sense to keep a proper distance between them.)
Not a fan of flashy things.
Originally worked in other places like Tohoku and Kansai
While he's gotten used to using electrical appliances - especially for cooking - Koharu used to be really bad with electronics. One time, Koharu took it upon himself to record Tonodomaru instead because Misa was busy, but the AI recognition function he used ended up recording Sena's old performances instead. Yukimaro was really upset of course.
While it's shown that he's a little afraid of Sayaka in the main story, she actually reminds him quite a bit of Hibiki back when she used the Spirit Board frequently while she was lonely.
Touka:
(Stalker Status: Misa's No.1 stalker! With a total of 13 years in running.)
Claims to have grown out of Tonodomaru after regaining his adult form. But when he was offered a special Tonodomaru tin can badge by Yukimaro for his birthday present, he found it difficult to refuse. This childlike side of him hasn't changed.
Hates Minami. Despises him. Heck, he probably hates Minami more than Seiya. Seiya's hatred towards Minami seems to stem from a general dislike for demons but for Touka? It's personal. Wants him destroyed.
Likes it when Misa wears pink clothing. Seeing her wear his colour gives him happiness of sorts.
Tried to give people misfortunes as presents during Christmas
Gods don't get tired or have fatigue. So when Touka realized how refreshed he felt after a good sleep when becoming human, he reported it to Misa with excitement.
"Abolish the Occult Research Club" campaigner.
His story is actually quite similar to Misa's. In his clan, Touka was constantly pressured to uphold the image of a great tengu deity.
His ability to inflict the perfect misfortune on an individual is unmatched within his clan.
Says that his love for Misa is different from Seiya's (sumimasen what does he mean by that????????)
"Out of all the potential suitors, Touka is the most obsessed with the heroine." - LE art book (this sentence is so ominous help)
Others:
Yui almost got scammed once by Minami while she was walking around Hell. He tried to tell her a bad fortune and said there was a perverted existence near her (aka Seiya).
Tsubasa had a reputation for being as strong as a boy, and was known as a fighting boss in high school. There were also rumours of her being suspended because she modified her uniform to the point of no-fixing.
During Misa's birthday, when the red book overhead Hibiki talking to Kureha about wanting to erase all the boys that came near her, it showed itself in front of them and wrote "I'll grant your wish. In return, stop that dangerous little brat, or else that girl will be sad."
Hinagiku is inherently intelligent, and was capable of managing difficult tasks effortlessly while she was alive.
During Christmas, Liyan (Radiant Tale) received a message from Touka saying, "If you don't confess to the girl you love before midnight, you'll turn into a reindeer for real!" and gave him actual antlers as proof.

9 R.I.P. Sequel Release Countdown - Seiya voice line
"Although I have been counting down the days until our reunion, sometimes to wait is not such a bad thing. For all the time that we have been unable to meet, my feelings for you have only grown all the stronger...If that's what you were thinking I'd say, you've made a big mistake. Prepare yourself for what it means to make a mental case such as myself wait."
