Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (Japanese: 小林さんちのメイドラゴン, Hepburn: Kobayashi-san Chi no Meidoragon) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Coolkyousinnjya. The series began serialization in Futabasha's Monthly Action magazine since May 2013 and is licensed in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment. Four spin-off manga have also been serialized in Monthly Action. An anime television series adaptation by Kyoto Animation aired in Japan between January and April 2017. A second season titled Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S premiered in July 2021.
Plot
As office worker and programmer Kobayashi gets ready for work, she is greeted by a large dragon right outside her front door. The dragon immediately transforms into a human girl in a maid outfit, and introduces herself as Tohru. It turns out, that during a drunken excursion into the mountains the night before, Kobayashi had encountered the dragon, who claimed to have come from another world. Subsequently, Kobayashi had removed a holy sword from Tohru's back, earning her gratitude. With Tohru having no place to stay, Kobayashi offers to let the dragon stay at her home and become her personal maid, to which she agrees.
Despite being efficient at housework, Tohru's unorthodox methods of housekeeping often end up scaring Kobayashi and bringing more trouble than help. Additionally, Tohru's presence attracts other dragons, gods, and mythical beings to her new home. One of these dragons, Kanna, shows up at Kobayashi's door, demanding that Kobayashi return Tohru to the other world. It is then revealed that she'd been exiled from the other world, and having nowhere else to stay, Kobayashi takes her in and becomes her guardian. As both Tohru and Kanna settle into the human world, Kobayashi starts to think of them as family.
Characters
Main
- Kobayashi (小林)
- Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura[4] (Japanese); Leah Clark[5] (English)
- A normal programmer and office worker who suddenly finds herself living with a dragon after removing a divine sword from it on a drunken night. While typically stoic and kind-hearted, she can get wild when drunk. She will usually get hangovers resulting in the cast having to wait on her hand and foot. She has a particular fascination with maids.[6] She is occasionally mistaken as a boy, due to her lack of feminine features, particularly her flat chest. Her first name is unknown. In chapter 97 of the manga she finally confesses her feelings to Tohru, and the two begin dating.
- Tohru (トール, Tōru)[b]
- Voiced by: Yūki Kuwahara[4] (Japanese); Sarah Wiedenheft[5] (English)
- A female dragon of the Chaos faction who comes from another world called the dragon realm who is capable of using magic to perform such tasks as "perception-blocking", which causes people to simply overlook her, repairing damage she may have caused, or transforming between a dragon and a human. After her life is saved by Kobayashi, she falls in love with her and starts living in her flat as a maid.[6] She usually retains her horns when changing into human shape, and occasionally retains her tail. She is commonly mistaken for a cosplayer due to her appearance. A running gag involves her attempting to feed Kobayashi pieces of her tail (which she can regenerate) with her cooking as a sign of affection and a sign of love. In chapter 97 of the manga Kobaysahi finally confesses her feelings to Tohru, and the two begin dating.
- Kanna Kamui (カンナカムイ)
- Voiced by: Maria Naganawa[4] (Japanese); Jad Saxton[5] (English)
- Tohru's friend from the dragon realm who was exiled from her world for pulling too many pranks on other dragons and wound up living with Kobayashi as well. Although she is much older than she appears, she is very young by dragon standards, equivalent to a primary school student at Oborozuka Elementary School (朧ズカ 小学校, Oborozuka Shōgakkō), which she attends as a third grade student bearing Kobayashi's surname. She initially assumes that Kobayashi seduced Tohru into staying and wanted her to return to their original world. She grows increasingly attached to Kobayashi as the series progresses, viewing her as a mother figure. Kanna's basis and tribal attire are inspired by the culture of the indigenous natives of Hokkaido and claims to be from Ushishir. She bears feather-like horns and a thin tail ending in a bulb, and is capable of recharging her depleted magical energy with electricity. She is the crush of Riko Saikawa, which she reciprocates and the two state they want to marry each other.
Dragons
- Elma (エルマ, Eruma)
- Voiced by: Yūki Takada[4] (Japanese); Rachel Glass[8] (English)
- A water dragon belonging to the Order faction, rival to Tohru's Chaos faction, who ends up working alongside Kobayashi at her office after getting stuck in the human world. She is as powerful as she is diligent and driven, but also naive, indecisive, and easily swayed by food (primarily sweets) due to her low income. Her human form is distinguished by purple hair, a horn (which she hides for work), her habit of having a jacket or kimono hanging off her shoulder, and wielding a trident; Elma Joui (上井 エルマ, Jōi Eruma) is the identity she uses while in Kobayashi's workplace.
- Lucoa (ルコア, Rukoa)
- Voiced by: Minami Takahashi[4] (Japanese); Jamie Marchi[5] (English)
- Quetzalcoatl (ケツァルコアトル, Ketsarukoatoru) is an Aztec dragon goddess and another friend of Tohru, who is aligned with neither faction, and lost her divine status centuries ago after getting drunk and causing a scandal involving her younger sister, much like the Quetzalcoatl of the original mythology. She is often referred to as Lucoa (from "lcoa" of the deity's name as adapted to the Japanese syllabary) and Tohru sees her as a source of wisdom but will sometimes casually reference the events in her past, much to Lucoa's embarrassment. She lives with Shouta after she interrupted his summoning spell to prevent him from summoning a dangerous demon, causing him to mistakenly believe she is a succubus. Lucoa appears in her human form as a tall, well-endowed woman with striking heterochromia. She often becomes overly affectionate with Shouta, scaring him, and having others mark her as a pervert. She tends to wear tight-fitting clothing that shows a lot of skin, and a running gag involves her showing up to a public place only to be dragged away by a staff member for being dressed inappropriately.
- Fafnir (ファフニール, Fafunīru)
- Voiced by: Daisuke Ono[9] (Japanese); Garret Storms[5] (English)
- Another old friend of Tohru, he is a male Chaos faction dragon with a strong distrust for humans which leads to him questioning much of Tohru's actions and ideals in his earlier appearances. He shares some resemblance to the traits of his namesake, such as his cold demeanour and disdainful mentality. He appears as a refined young man with long black hair and red eyes in his human form. After Tohru's attempts to find him a place to stay (under the name Takeshi Ooyama (大山 猛, Ōyama Takeshi)), Fafnir eventually comes to live with Takiya, becoming obsessed with video games and popular culture.
- Ilulu (イルル, Iruru)
- Voiced by: Tomomi Mineuchi[10] (Japanese); Kristi Rothrock[11] (English)
- A Chaos faction dragon who targets Tohru because of her relationship with a human, attempting to destroy the city in the process. She then turns her eye to Kobayashi, trying to drive her and Tohru apart to prove her beliefs, but after Kobayashi and Tohru save her from an Order dragon she has a change of heart and ends up living with them. Ilulu appears in her human form as a petite girl with a very ample bust. Her mental growth was somewhat impaired due to various beliefs that were forced on her by other chaos dragons. When she was younger, she enjoyed playing with human children, and since coming to Earth, she has taken up a job at a candy store, so that she can still see children when they are happy.
- Damocles, the Emperor of Demise (終焉帝, Shūentei)
- Voiced by: Takayuki Sugō (Japanese); John McCalmont (English)
- Tohru's father, who disapproves of Tohru's relationship with Kobayashi due to their beliefs as Chaos dragons and because of a non-interference rule about Earth. He attempts to force Tohru to leave with him but decides to let her stay after Kobayashi stands up to him, despite knowing how easily he could kill her.[citation needed] He still leaves Kobayashi alive, as he does not want to risk angering Tohru, who he recognizes as stronger than him.[citation needed]
Humans
- Makoto Takiya (滝谷 真, Takiya Makoto)
- Voiced by: Yuichi Nakamura[9] (Japanese); Jeff Johnson[5] (English)
- Kobayashi's co-worker who is initially believed by Tohru to be a rival for Kobayashi's affections, but is really just an otaku who thinks of Kobayashi as "one of the guys" and likes to talk about maids with her. Kobayashi helps him set up during Comiket every year. Fafnir eventually decides to live with him in the human world due to his enormous game and manga collection.
- Riko Saikawa (才川 リコ, Saikawa Riko)
- Voiced by: Emiri Katō[12] (Japanese); Sara Ragsdale[5] (English)
- Kanna's primary school classmate who is initially hostile towards her but soon develops a crush on her. A running gag involves her becoming overwhelmingly flushed with bliss every time she and Kanna make physical contact. Kanna reciprocates her feelings, and the two state they want to marry each other.
- Georgie Saikawa (才川 ジョージー, Saikawa Jōjī)
- Voiced by: Yuko Goto[12] (Japanese); Felecia Angelle[5] (English)
- Riko's older sister who pretends to be a housemaid as her hobby and thus gets on very well with Kobayashi. She is into her identity as "Georgie" that she seems to have forgotten that her real name, which was later revealed as Nae (苗).
- Shouta Magatsuchi (真ヶ土 翔太, Magatsuchi Shōta)
- Voiced by: Kaori Ishihara[12] (Japanese); Alison Viktorin[5] (season 1), Macy Anne Johnson[11] (season 2) (English)
- A young androgynous mage who Lucoa starts living with after she interrupted his summoning spell. He is convinced that Lucoa is a succubus, and though she tries to clear the misunderstanding, her overly familiar antics do little to help her case. A running gag involves him blushing and running away every time he makes contact with Lucoa's bust and scolding her as a "bad demon". In the anime, he is in fifth grade at the school Riko and Kanna attend. His father is the director of Kobayashi's company, who designed their programming language based on magic from the other world, and keeps tabs on Tohru and Kobayashi for the Emperor of Demise.
- Taketo Aida (会田 タケト, Aida Taketo)
- Voiced by: Hiro Shimono[13]
- Taketo is a highschooler and grandson of the owner of the candy shop where Ilulu works. Embarassed at first with her lack of common sense and voluptuous body, Taketo eventually grows close with Ilulu, who starts having romantic feelings for him.

As Kobayashi goes to work the next day, Tohru stays to watch over her apartment, defending it from two burglars. Later, Tohru becomes jealous of Kobayashi's co-worker, Makoto Takiya, only to find he is nothing more than a drinking buddy and fellow maid otaku.

Finding Tohru and Kanna's level of "playing around" to be a bit too extreme, Kobayashi teaches them how to have fun on a human scale. While Kobayashi is at work, Tohru attempts to teach Kanna what she knows about the human world, explaining how she wants to repay her debt to Kobayashi. | ||||||

Later, Riko impulsively challenges some park-hogging delinquents to a game of dodgeball, prompting Tohru and the other dragons to join her team.

Later, Tohru helps Fafnir look for a place to live after he decides to stay in the human world, eventually setting him up to live with Makoto.

She brings Kobayashi and Tohru over to Shouta's house to try and prove that she isn't actually a demon, but her attempts to prove herself worthy of staying fail to convince him otherwise.
