Here is the list of major characters in Love Hina. It goes in order of appearance in the manga.

He already failed the test twice, making him a second year ronin, so he decides to go to his grandmother's inn to study since his parents kicked him out of the house and he has no where to live basically. Keitaro isn't the brightest boy, he's bad at practically everything, but he could go to a lesser school and study there instead of wasting his time to get into Tokyo U. When he gets to the Hinata Lounge, he finds out that his grandmother isn't present. She went on a world tour seeking romance. >.< Now the lounge was turned into an all-girls dormitory and is ran by his 27 year old aunt, Haruka Urashima. Keitaro's grandmother sends a letter stating that Keitaro is the new owner of the Hinata Lodge and the girls have no choice but to let him safety.

She is the first girl Keitaro met when he was in the hot tub. ^.^ She too is studying to get into Tokyo U, and is extremely smart. Naru is in the top of her class, but her studying late at night with barely any sleep resulted to her bad eyesight. She has to wear these "coke bottle glasses" in order to see clearly. For two volumes, Keitaro was convinced that Naru was the girl he promised when he was younger, but she pointed out that she would of only been 2 at the time and she wouldn't be able to keep a promise like that.
