The butler of Kuzuha Kirika. Although she sometimes appears in her blue-haired older form, she is actually a twelve-year-old junior high student. It is revealed at the end of season 3 that she was granted the ability to turn into her older (male) form by Jormundgandr, a giant snake that she and "Kuzuha-sama" found in the Amazon, who has been controlling the two of them in its quest to find the ultimate butler.  She is very devoted to her mistress, and takes it upon herself to supply the superintendent with the sweets she needs to keep up her energy.

Hayate Ayasaki's life wasn't great, but when he loses the job he used to support his good-for-nothing family, and his deadbeat parents sell him to the Yakuza for cash, it really hits rock bottom! Faced with having to pay off the huge debt before he's converted into black market organ parts, a desperate Hayate decides to kidnap oddball heiress Nagi Sanzenin for ransom... but when even that goes wrong and he accidentally ends up rescuing Nagi from other kidnappers, it turns out that Hayate is the bodyguard that Nagi has been looking for! So now he's the Sanzenin family's butler, and… maybe… it might be the start of a potential romantic relationship… assuming Hayate can survive the on-the-job training, of course.<br>

Hardworking Hayate has a plan to pay back the yakuza—who are now the legal owners of his body parts: he’ll kidnap someone and ransom them for a mountain of money! But things get tricky when his would-be kidnappee—who as luck would have it is the daughter of a mind-bogglingly wealthy family—mistakes Hayate’s actions for a confession of love, and subsequently hires him to be her personal servant. At least his employment future is secure, or so he thinks…
