Karin is the protagonist of the series. Her parents passed away when she was still young and she was brought up by her aunt. Having no talent in studies and sports she is always scolded by her aunt. During those times her cat Shi-chan was a pillar of support but a few months prior to the beginning of the story, Shi-chan had died. Karin moved in with Kazune and Himeka after they found out about her goddess powers.

She is an outgoing person, and sticks up for her friends. Her mother's ring allows her to borrow godly power. Her ring is pink and has the power of the goddess Athena (Aphrodite in Chu). Later on, she realizes she has a crush on Kazune, but she knows Himeka loves him and is convinced that her feelings are only one sided. Near the end of the series, she realizes that she is in love with Kazune. She sees a picture Himeka and Kazune each have of their parents, which are the same. Karin happens to have one exactly like them of her parents.

From the last episode of Kamichama Karin, it seemed like that Karin's memories were locked inside her Athena ring, when it was destroyed during the battle with Karasuma Kirihiko, her memories of her old self were revealed.

She is actually Professor Kujyou's wife in the anime and in the manga, Suzuka Kujyou, and his test subject. (Her age was reversed and she was returned to being a baby with all her memories wiped out, but she slowly regains them at the end of series).

She also communicates with her future self through the Chronos Clock, which acknowledges her of Kazune and Micchi's deaths in the future and Jin losing his memory. Also in chu, she loses her memories after Kuga's attack. Kazune tries to make her remember by showing her the manga she "secretly" drew, her karaoke records and her photo albums. although she doesn't remember and even after he showed her everything and even told her that they have the power of gods, she still didn't believe them.^[1]

Her name literally means "The Flower Bell of the Flower Garden," with the "Flower Garden" as her family name and "Flower Bell" as her first name.
