Lin Koujo, originally from Hong Kong, is Kazuya Shibuya (Naru) 's assistant and guardian. He is considered taciturn and solemn, but can rarely be friendly. He usually gets the most unpleasant jobs, working from day through night. It is said he dislikes the Japanese because of the past conflicts Japan has had with China.

In the first episode of the anime, he ended up with a broken leg due to pushing Mai Taniyama from a falling shelf.

Later in the manga, it was learned that he was hired by Luella and Martin, Naru's parents, to watch and protect Naru until he became of age.

Not much is known about his covered eye until later in the manga, Akumu no Sumu Ie: vol. 10.

Plot

In the first episode, Lin Koujo caught Mai Taniyama attempting to touch a camera in the haunted school building, thus startling her and causing her to bump into a shelf—triggering it to fall. He pushes her out of the way, resulting him with a broken leg, prompting Naru to replace him with Mai until he was healed. Even after his leg can be used again, Naru hires Mai out of empathy, which made the both co-workers.

Appearance and Personality

Lin Koujo has long black fringes covering his right eye. He has grey eyes and is tall. He is usually seen in suits and formal clothes.

He is known to be cold, solemn and reserved, but is seen by Mai that he is unusually friendly when conversing with Madoka Mori. Later, he reveals that he dislikes the Japanese people because of the past conflicts Japan has had with China.

Skills

Lin appears to be a strong omnyoji, having a wide range of paranormal skills to exorcism to summoning spirits that he captures and controls them as familiars (also known as shiki's).

Relationships

Naru

Naru's parents first hired Lin to teach Naru how to control his psychic energy by the use of qigong. It is implied that they did not get along together at first because of Naru's ethnicity, but later warmed up to each other by the time the series takes place. Lin is also hired to be Naru's guardian and watches and helps him search for his brother, Eugene. Naru often relies on Lin for information or his skill as an omnyoji. Lin is seen to be very protective of Naru; he scolds Naru for using his psychic energy, as well as for not informing Lin of any dangerous circumstances.

Mai

Lin and Mai's relationship is iffy at the beginning. The two have very little interaction and generally don't speak to each other. He appears to have a strong hostility towards her, possibly an impression when she injured him during their first meeting. It wasn't until their animosity was acknowledged (vol. 6). Lin reveals to Mai that he dislikes the Japanese people because of the past conflicts Japan has had with China. It caused her to respond with telling him that he shouldn't hate her because she is Japanese or an orphan. This lead to Lin laughing, as someone (later known as Eugene) once told him the same thing. Their relationship warms somewhat after the conversation, and the two become respectful to one another.

Eugene

Lin was first hired by Naru and Eugene's parents as a teacher. In the anime and manga, Mai's line, "You shouldn't hate me because I'm Japanese, or an orphan," was originally Eugene's. It appears that Lin has known the twins since childhood, and are close friends.

Madoka

When Madoka first visited SPR, she asked to see Lin and the both have a friendly conversation. This was seen by Mai, causing her to wonder if Madoka is Lin's girlfriend or wife.
