Description

Jonathan is the Shinigami who becomes Izumi's partner after Meroko leaves. He wears a top hat and often speaks in English.

In the anime, Jonathan's role is fairly minor. He follows Izumi around and seems to annoy him a lot, but doesn't play a major role in the plot.

In the manga, Jonathan has a larger role. He was the one who revealed to Takuto, Meroko, and Izumi stop him. He calls for the Death Master to wield the Scythe of Fate. Later, he reveals that he hoped Mitsuki would live. He is the second shinigami, and uses up all his powers with the Death Master to get Takuto's voice back. He appears to show great affection for the Death Master.

In the manga, on one of the sidebars, Arina Tanemura mentions that one day with her friends, she drew a picture of what she thought 'Peeves' (From Harry Potter) looked like. After she was finished, she showed it to her friends, who laughed and said it did not look anything like 'Peeves', for Peeves has a human form (the picture she drew of Jonathan was in ghost form), and deciding not to waste it, she renamed the character and made it into a character for the manga.

In a couple of the extra four-panel comics at the end of a manga volume, Mitsuki asks what kind of animal she would be if she were a shinigami. Jonathan always responds, "A Female Jonathan" or "Jonako", for which Mitsuki slaps him.
