Shiho Sakakibara

Shiho Sakakibara (榊原 志保 Sakakibara Shiho) is a freshman in electronics at the Nekomi Institute of Technology who has a keen interest in the art of exorcism, but her novice level skills and limited knowledge tend to cause more trouble than good. She first appears as the featured character of chapter 57, which was later adapted in the anime adaptation as the episode "Ah! This is Jealousy!?". Shiho makes a brief reappearance later in chapter 83 during the "Queen Sayoko" arc. Having fallen under Sayoko's influence and her exorcist abilities amplified by her castle, Shiho confronts Keiichi just as he escapes from a group of men dressed like Belldandy. Shiho unleashes a swarm of spirits to attack him, but the men catch up and the spirits attack them instead. Shiho fails to get them under control and gets knocked out, allowing Keiichi to continue.
