Brown, John

ジョン・ブラウン

A Caucasian Catholic priest from Australia who learned Japanese with a Kansai accent, giving his speech a somewhat odd, humorous structure. Kind-hearted and helpful, he assists Mai and Naru in any way he can. His method of exorcism involves spraying holy water while reciting the first passage of the Gospel of John from the New Testament. In most arcs, SPR relies on John's exorcisms whenever a human is possessed by a spirit. During the Cursed House arc, it is revealed that John's exorcisms, unlike Houshou's Buddhist mantras or Ayako's Shinto Kuji, do not cause physical harm when used on a possessed living creature.
