DaikokutenWP (大黒天WP?), Class Name Caster (キャスター, Kyasutā?), is the Caster-class Servant of Gudako in the parody work Learn More with Manga! FGO. They are also summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
While the given the True Name of DaikokutenWP, one of the Seven Lucky GodsWP, the Servant is not the deity himself. They are the servant mice of the god summoned as maids, but they were originally mice who were granted self-awareness and a new purpose by Daikokuten.[2]
Appearance
The mice manifest between two to thirty individuals depending on the level of magical energy provided. The first two are called No. 1 (１号?) and No. 2 (２号?).[2] No. 1 has blue hair and is slightly taller than No. 2, who has pink hair. Each mouse appears as a mouse-like humanoid with red irises. In Learn with Manga! FGO, their scleras are black, but are white in Fate/Grand Order. Their height, weight, and hair color differs between each individual, though all are short by human standarts.
In the first Ascension, the mice wear a maid uniform and a suit in the second. In the third, they wear a nurse uniform and their pupils glow yellow.

Personality
While they each have individual differences, the mice are all equally kind and devoted workers. While they cannot distribute their servitude far and wide, they want nothing more than to grant their master's wishes. Likely because of this, the mice have taken to wearing maid outfits, as it suits their calling. As his servants, the mice rever Daikokuten and wish to serve him eternally. Even as Servants, they view him as one who stands above their Master as a Master of Masters.[2]
However, their core nature as mice is ever-present and are not the perfect maids as they can act careless, single minded, and rash.[2]
Relationships

- No. 1: "Mahākāla...? We're sorry, that does not ring a bell. It's best if you go and ask them in person."[3]
Role
Learn Even More with Manga! FGO
Caster is one of four Udon Servants created by Leonardo da Vinci with the intention of keeping the story of the comic busy. Found by Jeanne and Nitocris while still an udon larva, they decide to feed it to recovering Gudako in lieu of having to gather ascension materials to raise it. Caster later manifests to take care of Gudako despite having been eaten, constantly giving her rice balls. This causes Jeanne and Nitocris to begin to compete with Caster for their Master's attention.

Event: Serial Genesis Days: Mississippi Mythicizers
Abilities
In Learn with Manga! FGO, the mice are depicted as numerous and capable of rapid propagation but weak since they are a 1-Star Servant.[4][5] As the Servant of Gudako, they focused on nursing their Master back to health, and feeding her an abundance of rice at all times.[6][7] Through this, and a modification surgery, they managed to transform Gudako into an engorged, giant Caster-class boss enemy carrying a sack and the Mallet of Good Fortune.[5]
In Fate/Grand Order, the number of mice increases or decreases depending on the amount of magic energy, but the maximum number of individuals is about 30 when their Pure Land of Mice is activated. Each individual has its own will and personality, but memories can be shared between them. Although they can telepathically communicate with each other, it requires a great deal of mental concentration, and distractions can quickly end up disrupting the connection.[2]
Skills
Class Skills
- Item Construction (D Rank): The Skill to manufacture magical items. Possessing a low rank in this Skill, Daikokuten can only prepare onigiri. Had they been summoned in their true form, they should be able to cook a variety of other dishes.[1][2]
- Territory Creation (E Rank): The Skill needed to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Daikokuten can create a kitchen optimized for making onigiri. Had they been summoned in their true form, they should be able to manifest a much more gorgeous dreamland.[1][2]
Personal Skills
- Servitude (A Rank): Instead of being summoned in their true form like they were supposed to, Daikokuten were summoned as maids. Because of this, they are always searching for someone to serve under. While serving their Master, they also extend their servitude to people others.[1]
- Propagation (A Rank): Daikokuten can increase their numbers in very short periods of time.[1]
- Divinity (E- Rank): A Skill that acts as the measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. Despite being summoned under the True Name of DaikokutenWP, they are not the god himself, but his mice servants. Therefore they have low Divinity.[2]
- Meritorious Service (A Rank): The Skill to do general housework. They can do anything with average skil. However, their rice balls are outstanding.[2]
- To Benefit All Sentient Beings (A Rank): A temporary blessing that can be achieved through a ritual to honor Daikokuten and grant offerings. Since the mice are not Daikokuten himself, granting this blessing is very taxing on them.[2]
- Kingdom of Mice (B Rank): The Skill to dig. Using this Skill they can create underground magic workshops, passages, shelters, escape routes, pitfalls, and whatever else they can think off.[2]
Noble Phantasm
- Mallet of Good Fortune: The mallet is a magical furnace that has accumulated an enormous amount of magical energy, and its abundant output can instantly create a Reality Marble, the Pure Land of Mice. It is not the item wielded by Daikokuten himself, but a manifestation of instantaneous magical energy that has separated and materialized.[2] In Learn Even More with Manga! FGO, the mallet can cause the drop rate of 5-Star Servants to become 100% in Fate/Grand Order when activated.[8]
- Pure Land of Mice: With the use of the Mallet of Good Fortune the Noble Phantasm creates a Reality Marble made to look like an underground themepark for mice and allows for the rapid creation of new mice to join the Servant's ranks. Due to their limited magical power, they cannot replicate indefinitely, with the maximum amount of possible mice being about 30.[2]
