Ishibumi named the Four Great Devils after characters from the Gundam media franchise. He also added characters and legendary beasts from a variety of places from Norse mythology to Japanese yokai. He created a world where the war between the three main factions (angels, devils, and fallen angels) is over, and where many famous angels and devils have already ceased to exist. Some of his characters are loosely referenced from the Bible, non-fiction books, and mythology. For the first volume, he made Rias a second lead character and heroine, and Asia to be the second heroine. His main character Issei was made into a lecherous guy at the request of his editor. In the volume 1 afterword, he mentions that he changed his writing style, and wanted to develop one in the school-life, love-comedy, battle, and fantasy genre. Author Ichiei Ishibumi had previously worked on a horror genre series two years before publishing the first light novel for High School DxD.
