Creation and conception
After Raiku's "Newtown Heroes" series in the Shonen Sunday Super ended, Raiku looked at his old drafts he created in the past for an idea for his next series.[1][2] One of his ideas was about a mercenary who used a giant sword to defeat enemies. After playing with that idea for three months, Raiku decided to abandon it and go with another idea.[1] His next idea was a story where a middle school student, the prototype of Kiyo, finds an old toy that turns into a giant knight that combats evil. After taking this up with his agent, he was advised to use a cuter character to fight and thus, Zatch was created.[1] After Raiku worked on the idea for a month, it was published.[1] The reason Zatch uses lightning spells is because the "rai" in his name is the Japanese word for "lightning".[3]

Kiyo Takamine, known in the original version as Kiyomaro Takamine (高嶺 清麿 Takamine Kiyomaro?) and his Mamodo partner Zatch Bell, known in the original version as Gash Bell (ガッシュ・ベル Gasshu Beru?), are the main protagonists of the series. Kiyo is a genius 14-year-old junior high school student with an IQ of over 180. His classmates eventually shunned him due to his high intelligence causing him to develop an introverted and apathetic demeanor to the point where he skips school on a regular basis.[4] One day, Zatch, an overly cheerful amnesic boy, is sent by Kiyo's father to live with Kiyo. Zatch's personality slowly influences Kiyo causing him to become more outgoing and friendly and allowing him to befriend many people during the course of the series. Zatch's past is slowly unraveled and reveals he is the son of the current Mamodo King and sealed within Zatch is a power known as Bao (バオウ Baō?).[5] Also brought to light is the fact that Zatch's twin brother, Zeno Bell, was the one who erased Zatch's memory in order to make him suffer.[6] In battle, Zatch's spells revolve around lightning. His most powerful spell, Bao, allows him to create a huge electrical dragon. Kiyo's voice actor is Takahiro Sakurai and his English voice actor is Jason Spisak.[7][8] Zatch's voice actors are Ikue Ohtani and in the nine final episodes, Konami Yoshida.[7][9] His English voice actress is Debi Derryberry.[8]

Megumi is a famous Japanese teen idol and pop singer who spends most of her time working.[10] Tia is a young girl who believed no one could be trusted in the Mamodo tournament after being attacked by a friend of hers from the Mamodo World.[10] When Kiyo and Zatch save Megumi and Tia from an attack by the same Mamodo, Tia begins to trust others again and allies with Kiyo and Zatch in order to make sure the Mamodo World would be ruled by a kind king. Tia's spells consist mostly of defensive and regenerative spells which are used to support and heal their allies. Tia's book is burned while protecting her friends from Clear Note's spells.

In the past, Folgore was a short tempered and vicious man who was feared in town due to his ruthless nature.[12] His parents threatened him with a shotgun to leave home out of fear.[12] Folgore later changed his personality after watching a hippopotamus and oxpecker living in mutalism and developed his comedic personality.[12] Kanchomé's appearance is that of a young boy wearing a blanket sleeper, with large eyes and a duck bill.

In the Mamodo world, Ponygon hated other Mamodos after watching his father work as a riding animal and isolated himself from others. Zatch Bell eventually befriended Ponygon after they saved Ponygon's father from a poisonous snake bite. Ponygon's spells give him armor, increasing his speed and power with each spell.

Riou takes the form of a lion-like centaur with an mouth-like opening between the human and horse body parts where his partner Banikis Gigo (バニキス・ギーゴー Banikisu Gīgō?) resides. To get the required power to release Faudo, Riou placed a curse on Li-en, Ellie, Nicole, and Alishie, which saps their strength until either Faudo is released or they die. Upon Faudo's release, Riou engages Kiyo Takamine and Zatch Bell in battle which ultimately results in Kiyo's death (though he is eventually resuscitated by Momon).

When seeing Zatch's name on the participating Mamodo Battle list, Zeno aims to make Zatch suffer the same way he had. When confronting Zatch inside Faudo, Zeno accidentally reads Zatch's memories of the Mamodo World, which he had stolen prior, and discovers Zatch had also led a life of suffering.
