Pluto

Dr. Ram is an Indigenous Inca man aged somewhere in his 40s to 50s. He has thick curly hair that resembles a lion's mane. This hair is grey in the manga and 1963 anime, but blue in the 1996 Epoch trading card series. He is also drawn with round ears and a round nose, which overall gives him the appearance of a lion. He is always formally dressed in double-breasted suit jackets, or in lab gear. Ram will sometimes be seen smoking tobacco from a pipe.
In Dr. Ram's first appearance, he was depicted as an extremely unflattering blackface caricature. This was due to Tezuka's lack of proper reference material at the time; Japan in the 1950s was limited to media imported only from America. [2] Ram's appearance was corrected for the 1963 series episode "Atlas"; he is redrawn with a normal darker skin tone and a round nose. In the mid-1990s, Dr. Ram's manga design appeared on a series of Japanese trading cards. His design is modified to have navy blue hair and a realistic skin tone.

Red's character design is very distinct: he has an arched nose that takes up a large portion of his face, a strong chin and jawline, and short but fluffy sweeping hair. His age varies quite often; he is portrayed anywhere between being a fresh-faced middle-aged man to a very old man with a bushy mustache.

Duke Red in Metropolis (2001)

Duke Red first appeared as the lead villain in Tezuka's original Metropolis manga, where he is the head of an underground criminal group. He is responsible for commissioning an artificial human, and uses robot slave labor to develop weapons of chemical warfare. Since this manga, he has appeared most often as antagonist throughout Tezuka's works. Often, Red is in the role of a misguided father trying to protect his children with his best intentions; one particular example of this is his appearance in the 2001 film version of Metropolis . He is the adopted father of Marduk leader Rock , but neglects him in favour of the robotic reconstruction of his deceased daughter Tima.


Pluto

Rock's design is very simple but iconic, with heavy bangs and sideburns, and a heart-shaped face. Usually his hair is either brown or black, but he has been blonde in very early roles. He often wears sunglasses and slick formal suits, and long jumpsuits when he plays futuristic roles.


Pluto

Saburo is a human male aged somewhere in his late teens. He, like the other members of the bike gang, is close to Daichi's age. He has feathered blue hair in a bob cut, styled with spiked horns on either side of his head. He has striking facial features, with a sharp nose and big grey eyes.
Saburo's usual cruising outfit is a jean vest with heavy shoulder pads, high-waisted jeans, bulky gloves, and a yellow crew neck T-shirt. He wears polarized motorcycle goggles and red angular face paint markings.

A diehard punk, Saburo is wild and in-your-face. He and the rest of Daichi's gang had a penchant for causing chaos and harassing strangers on the road. Saburo was a good friend to Daichi, albeit only when the latter was a human.

Saburo's goggles are visible in the lower left corner

Upon learning Daichi is a robot, Saburo and the other gang members begin to mock Daichi to his face. In the same moment, Saburo admits that the gang only hung out with Daichi because of his family's power and wealth. The gang is surprised when Daichi does not take this information well and vengefully transforms into Atlas.


Pluto

Sapphire has short brown (sometimes black) curly hair. While this could be compared to Hamegg 's hair, Sapphire's hair is more modelled after early 20th century American fashion and cartoons, such as Nell Brinkley artwork and Betty Boop . She has very shiny, colourful eyes, which set a precedent for shoujo manga character designs in the 1950s. Sapphire also tends to dress in masculine attire and formal wear.
As a princess, Sapphire wears a golden blonde long wig and ornamental gowns. She wears a ribbon with the same pattern as her prince bonnet's ribbon, hence the manga's original title meaning "Ribbon Knight". As the Phantom Knight, Sapphire obscures her face with a carnival mask, and wears non-royal fencing gear. Sapphire's love interest Prince Franz has no idea these identities are all the same person, and views the Phantom Knight and Sapphire as competition for the princess's heart.

As the heir of Silverland, Sapphire is a very outgoing, adventurous youth. She was raised as a boy, which has let her receive princely training in fighting, fencing, and horseback riding. Sapphire is sporty and athletic, but she still likes to be feminine sometimes; one of Sapphire's alter-egos is a mysterious princess with fancy gowns and long blonde hair. Although Sapphire questions her gender identity, she enjoys being able to switch between gender roles. She refuses to let Tink take back her male "heart" because of how many of her hobbies and traits could leave with it.
Sapphire is also fiercely loyal to her family and friends. Due to the circumstances of her youth, she has a lot of trouble making close friends, but eventually warms up to Tink and Hecate upon understanding their individual plight.
Sapphire has appeared in other Tezuka series via the Osamu Tezuka Star System. Tezuka was very fond of Sapphire, and would sometimes cast her as an adult in more serious, mature roles. One such role is in the Black Jack chapter "The Heroine of the Tunnel" (1974): Sapphire plays a kindergarten teacher who gives her life protecting her students after a bus accident. One of Sapphire's more comedic roles is as a clumsy reporter in the 1993 Ambassador Magma OVA series.


Pluto

Saruta is one of the few characters to have a nose as large as that of Hiroshi Ochanomizu . However, Saruta's nose is distinctly afflicted with granuloma annulare , causing numerous small bumps on it. Many of Saruta's ancestors had the same condition, but not all of them. Also unlike Ochanomzu, Saruta most often has a full head of hair and a mustache.


Pluto

Saturn was originally created in 1948 for Tezuka's manga Magic Mansion . Here, he was known as the Great Devil, and designed to embody everything Tezuka found frightening as a child [1] . He has sharp, exaggerated features, piercing eyes, and enormous muscles. Saturn is also visually reminiscent of early American cartoon villains, such as Bluto from Popeye , and of European fairy tale characters [2] .
Saturn's Star System roles are limited outside of the Astro Boy franchise [3] . He is most known for his consistent appearance in the Astro Boy story, "Robot Land".


Pluto

Shadow always wears monochromatic robes in similar style to a classical pierrot . His tunic and hood are split in colour down the middle, asymmetrically, with a striking yellow eye on his hood. Shadow also has a billowing cape attached to his thick shoulder pads.

He will very rarely take off his hood. Initially, his face underneath was a basic, unfurnished robotic face, similar to that of A-106 . However, later on, he modifies his own appearance after Dr. Tenma comes to Robotonia - giving himself a replica of Tenma's own face. After the siege on Robotonia, it is unknown if Shadow has kept Tenma's face, as he continues to wear his eye hood.


Pluto

Most of the time, Holmspun wears a plaid flat cap and matching coat.
However, due to some criminal blowing up his cars, doctor's had to amputate his limbs and torso. As a result, his head is his only flesh while the rest of his body is artificial. But after the Kin Sankaku shot him, his head became artificial as well, making him a full time robot.

Holmspun takes pride in his job as a detective, but he hates robots. As such, he first had difficulty working with Astro. However, he began to warm up to him, and he was proud to be a robot once his head go replaced.


Pluto

Shibugaki is a 10 year old human boy. He is very tall for his age and has a large build, which causes him to stand out from his classmates. He has distinct, pug-like facial features, with his most prominent feature being a set of enlarged buckteeth. In the 1980 series, his nose is cartoonishly exaggerated to look like a rounded square.
Shibugaki has short black hair in most series. In the 2003 series, he is blonde, and in the NOW! Comics series, he is bald. He usually wears sporty but preppy clothing such as polo shirts and sweaters.


Pluto

Simon is a basic, outdated humanoid robot. He is made of shiny chrome, with detailed joins and angular features. His eyes are animated red LED lights on a narrow black screen. He is about as tall as an average human male.

While Simon is an older model of robot, he does have a strong personality. He tries his best to console Astro, whom has just been sold by Dr. Boynton and brought into the abuse of the circus.
Simon is set in his idea that Astro is a potential robot saviour. But, knowing Astro is still a child, Simon repeatedly assures Astro that is is the most powerful and advanced robot in existence, and that nobody can destroy him.
Simon is tremendously friendly and compassionate towards any robot he meets. However, Simon is at best apathetic towards humans. He has witnessed other robots at the circus like Bugsy wishing they could hurt humans, and has ignored or even agreed with this.


Pluto

Osamu Tezuka originally modeled Skunk Kusai's design after the American actor Richard Widmark, particularly Widmark's character Tommy Udo in the 1947 film Kiss of Death . This led to Skunk's exaggerated character design of a long forehead and sunken eyes.
He is a lanky, strong, and odd-looking man in his 30s-40s. He is blonde, usually appearing with short hair and bangs, or a chin-length bob cut, and noticeably lacks any eyebrows.  In later appearances, Skunk is coloured to have deathly-pale or outright blue skin to make him look ethereal and sickly, though he is occasionally depicted with more natural skintones. His face was noticeably thin and somewhat gaunt in his earlier appearances, but later ones often thickened his face to make him appear more thuggish.

The very model of a gangster, Skunk is cruel, greedy, unscrupulous and doesn't care who he has to step on to get his way. All of these traits grossly pale in comparison to his ambition, which ranges from petty theft to political sabotage via extortion. While not a scientific genius or mechanically inclined by any means, Skunk can always worm his way into the graces of those he can take advantage of, willingly or otherwise.
Skunk is best known for his trademark cackle, which has been compared to that of a hyena's laugh.


Pluto

Spider resembles a small, strange bipedal humanoid. He has wide eyes and a long, tube-like nose, similar to Inspector Tawashi 's nose. Spider seems to have only one arm with a little round hand, which he only sometimes uses. He wears a black smock and brown shoes, and is bald aside from one squiggly hair.
Usually Spider will appear in a scene by sliding or running in towards other characters. In other instances, he will be drawn into a scene just to alleviate dramatic moments or to fill visual space.


Pluto

Tamami has the appearance of a soft-faced girl in her early 20s. She is very tall and limber, with long lavender hair that flows into enormous curls. As a humanoid, she wears a navy blue and purple jumpsuit with matching ankle boots. She can turn into any kind of animal, including a cocker spaniel and a swan; these animals are always the same shade of lavender as her hair. Tamami designed her human form for different reasons in either dub; in the English dub, she tailored herself after Saruta's memories of his daughter. In the Japanese version, she takes the form of the most beautiful woman Saruta can think of.


Pluto

Tamao has looked fairly consistent through each Astro Boy series. He wears big glasses, a hat, and sometimes preppy clothing. He is most often seen wearing running shoes, shorts, and long-sleeved shirts. Until the 2003 series, his hat was a simple baseball cap; later on, it becomes a hefty dogear cap with built-in headphones and antennae.
Tezuka partially modeled Tamao on himself as a child; Tamao and Tezuka's self-portrait both have round faces, thick glasses, and round noses. Tamao is almost always shown with a hat on, but without it, it's shown he has a buzzcut hairstyle.

Tamao is a very energetic elementary school student. He is fascinated with robotics and science, which makes him immediately interested in Astro. In the 2003 series, he arrives late for school, but becomes incredibly excited upon seeing Astro is in his classroom. He studies machinery and is able to identify much of Astro's mechanics. He can be easily overwhelmed and startled, and likes to stay close to his friends and in safer areas. As enthusiastic as he is for Astro's adventures, Tamao would prefer to watch from a safe distance.
In the 1963 series, he is known as Tommy, and is friends with Astro but often bullied by Shibugaki . In the 1980 series, his friend group is composed of Kenichi and Midori . In the 2003 series, Tamao is friends with Shibugaki for the first time, whom is renamed as Abercrombie in the English dub.
In Little Astro Boy , Tamao appears as Paul, a guest character who usually appears as a sports announcer or to cheer on Astro. Tamao very briefly appears in the NOW! Comics Series , but only for a few panels in issues 11 and 12.


Pluto

Inspector Tawashi is a tall, lean middle-aged human man. He is bald, except for several small hairs and a full mustache. Tawashi's name means "scourer", a specific type of oval-shaped polishing brush. [1] His nose is designed to resemble this particular brush.
Tawashi is always dressed in either formal three-piece suits or police uniforms. In older series, he wears an undersized bowler hat.

Tawashi is, by nature, extremely standoffish and gruff. In most series, he strongly dislikes robots, in part due to his old-fashioned policing style. He has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions and blaming robots for various unsolved crimes. He believes that law and order is the only way out of a situation, though he most frequently jumps to the wrong conclusions, inevitably making the situation worse.
As opinionated as Tawashi is, he's still dedicated to solving mysteries and getting dangerous individuals off the streets. In some series, Tawashi is accompanied by the much more level-headed Chief Nakamura . Nakamura is also the only person who Tawashi lets correct him or banter with him.


Pluto

Hoshie has long black hair that she usually ties back. As a child, she would keep it in braids, but as an adult she keeps it pinned high on the back of her head. She has always dressed in modest clothing, like long dresses and skirts, and aprons when at home.
Hoshie is also the model for Astro's robot mother in some continuities. Particularly in the manga and the 1963 anime, Astro's robot mother dresses and wears her hair just like Hoshie. This is said to be because in Once Upon a Time Astroboy Tales , Tenma stole Ochanomizu's planned robot mother, and programmed her to behave just like Hoshie.

In Atom: The Beginning , Hoshie is the granddaughter of Dr. Saruta , and the daughter of Tsukie Saruta . She was extremely shy, especially around the young Tenma, to the point of Saruta having to help introduce her to others. Hoshie was also shown to be an intelligent, dutiful student just like her mother and grandfather.
As an adult, Hoshie is much more self-spoken. She is one of the few characters who can stand up to Tenma and contrast his opinions. She is loyal to her son; initially she is horrified by the robot Tobio, but soon comes to love him just as much as the human Tobio. When Tenma's behaviour gets increasingly erratic, Hoshie becomes disgusted with him. She makes the decision to divorce Tenma and hopes to get Tobio away from him.


Pluto

Tobio obviously resembles a human version of Astro. However, where Astro has hair spikes, Tobio has natural cowlicks in his bangs and at the back of his head. He is generally portrayed with brown or black hair, and wears preppy, conservative clothing such as sweater vests.

In most series, Tobio is a smart but shy child. He was a clever student, but preferred staying at home or with his family members. Because Tobio's death is a major part of most Astro Boy series, not much is shown of Tobio's normal life, unless during Astro's origin story or via other characters' flashbacks.
Tobio's relationship with his father was strained. As the Minister of Science, Dr. Tenma had numerous responsibilities that kept him from away from home. Tobio had great respect for his father, but rued not being able to spend more time with him. In the 2003 series, Tobio was especially withdrawn at school and did not have very many human friends.
In the short film The Secret of Atom's Birth , Tobio remarks that his mother died of an "illness" when he was an infant and he never got to know her. Elsewhere in the manga's "Once Upon A Time" arc, Tobio's mother Hoshie was an active part of his life and took care of him.


Pluto

Umataro Tenma is a very striking-looking man. He has black curly hair styled into soft pompadour with a matching goatee. He has a distinct pointed nose, too, which has led to characters comparing Tenma's overall appearance to that of a rooster . He is also fairly tall and well-built, towering over most characters in the series. He dresses in very formal clothing such as suits, even when at home.
When he was younger, as seen at age 20 in Atom: The Beginning , he was fairly gangly and skinny. He also straightened his bangs and tended to dress in all black.

Dr. Tenma can be described as brilliant, innovative and dedicated. Underneath these praises however, he is also prideful, socially distant and borderline obsessive. He is often neglectful to his son, despite becoming obsessed with bringing him back as a robot following his tragic death. He is initially kind and happy with Astro, attempting to become the father he never was back when his son was alive. Unfortunately, as the illusion of having a robot for a son slowly sets in, Tenma becomes troubled and at times spiteful at his failure at bringing his son back, usually all too happy to get rid of what he considers a symbol of his failure as a scientist.
However, once Dr. Ochanomizu takes Astro in, Tenma grows obsessive with getting Astro back. He often ignores Astro's feelings and is capricious when his plans are foiled- he will apologize for his actions in one chapter, then attempt to get Astro back to him in another. However, in the manga chapter, "The Greatest Robot on Earth", Tenma and Astro appear to be on good terms with each other, and Tenma upgrades Astro to have one million horsepower. While Tenma and Astro never manage to truly reconcile as father and son, they learn at the very least to work together.
Tenma's personality has varied wildly over the different iterations of the Astro Boy franchise. In the 1980 series, Tenma is quick to lose his patience with Astro as he struggles to adapt to acting human, but is significantly less socially dysfunctional than his original iteration, both working with his fellow scientists and quickly attempting to reconcile with Astro after losing his temper. In the 2003 series, Tenma's social difficulties are intensified, depicting him as antisocial from childhood and descending into maniacal delusions as an adult, believing robots should replace humans with himself as their overseerer. In the 2009 CG movie, Tenma is depicted as well-intentioned but socially awkward,  never descending into the troubled mannerisms of his past counterparts and doing his best to make up for his past mistakes.


Pluto

Tiara has frizzy brown hair, which she maintains in a short bob with gold ornaments on her bands. She wears a big pink bow around her neck, a powder pink cloak tied around her waist, and a purple leotard over a striped bodysuit with dark purple ballet shoes. She is very tall and thin.

Tiara is elegant and stylish, making her own fashion with what she can find. She is an outgoing and level-headed member of Boon's group of friends. Tiara is especially closest with Jake , whom she calls "Jay-kun" in the Japanese dub. When Boon takes Astro under his wing, Tiara is impressed with Astro's powers and immediately welcomes him in to Outland's culture.

Tiara twirling to a drum and harp

Tiara is one of the more popular villagers in Outland. She has grown up in the village, and can now be found working in the village's soup kitchen, or dancing at their public gatherings. Her dancing style is a mix of ballet and salsa, which she sets to whatever music the people of Outland can put together.


Pluto

Tonto is an average-looking humanoid around the age of 9-10. He has glossy black hair with one central spike, leading from his forehead widow's peak to the back of his head. This spike also functions as a radio antennae. Instead of ears, Tonto has dial-like receivers on either side of his face. Tonto usually wears slick but modest clothing, such as dark jackets and turtleneck sweaters.
In the 1966 adaptation of the Blue Knight arc, Tonto has three buttons along the top of his head instead of the spike.

Tonto Los is confident but very stubborn. When Astro first meets him, Tonto is very shy, but he soon opens up to his classmates...after they begin mocking him for being a robot. He will not take anti-robot sentiment lightly, believing strongly in his older brother's plans for advanced robot rights. Tonto admires Astro and considers him a friend, but is frustrated by how much Astro cares about humans.
In reality, Tonto is traumatized by his near death experience at the hands of a human. Before his brother-in-law, Count Burg , met the Los family, Tonto was an ordinary young boy. His older siblings studied music and the arts, and likewise, Tonto was quite interested in nature. He was the baby of the family and idolized his older siblings. When Tonto overhears that Maria is being abused by her husband, he sneaks out of his father's home to go and break out Maria. Burg catches the siblings and beats them so badly that it deactivates their systems.


Pluto

He is an early robot, like Zog , and has a simple, streamlined design with limited colors. Trashcan is beige, with brown markings on his head, body, and legs, similar to the markings on a beagle. His joints are kept in place with large round fasteners.
Trashcan was designed to be a garbage can that could move on its own. As a result, he has limited articulation and appears to be of a lightweight metal, which allows him to move quickly. His eyes are blue OLEDs that can express his emotions accordingly.

Trashcan is programmed to act just like an organic domestic dog. He is plucky and energetic, and able to play tricks with Cora , Astro , and the other kids. Trashcan is a basic AI robot, but this makes him smarter than an average dog. He can read and write and accept complicated orders.
He is quite similar to Jump in how he becomes Astro's loyal pet dog.


Pluto

By pure coincidence, True bears a strong resemblance to Astro, sharing the same height, build, and face shape. True wears a blue jumpsuit with white and red details. He has matching blue helmet-like hair with two points on either side of his head. These points can slide down, making way for a propeller to ride from inside his head. This propeller can spin strong enough to carry True dozens of metres above the ground. If the blue button on his collar is pressed hard enough, True will power off.
In the manga, True wears casual clothing and looks more human-like. He has black hair with one long, curling cowlick, which spins as a propeller when he needs to fly.

True is a happy, upbeat robot. He looks and behaves like a normal elementary school boy. His best friend is Pearl Domoto, his creator's human daughter whom is blind. True works as a seeing-eye guide for Pearl but does genuinely enjoy hanging out with her. He is programmed to respond to any questions with the opposite of the truth - ergo, lying, something that's forbidden by the laws of robotics [1] .
In the anime, True is completely oblivious that he's ever lying to someone else. He will take orders from Dr. Domoto and follow them to a T, but otherwise, nothing he says can be trusted. In the manga, True is more aware of the chaos caused by his lying. He will use lies to trick anyone pursuing him in an attempt to get away.


Pluto

Though Uran has had less consistent designs compared to her older brother she has always looked fairly similar to her older brother but with some differences. She has the same jet-black hair as Astro but hers has spikes curling up symmetrically on both sides of her head, She has a slightly thinner body type compared to Astro and at times stubbier feet. She has been shown to wear clothes more often than Astro, usually a dress, the color of the dress may vary  but in merchandise and other artwork it is usually pink. She also has either pink, red or black small lace-less shoes. Though her appearances are varied between, adaptations this is usually how she looks

Uran is very self-spoken and independent. Unlike her brother, she is selfish, obstinate, impulsive and prone to acting on her own, which often leads to her headstrong attitude causing trouble for herself or others. She hates being left behind or having people think she's weak. Uran idolizes Astro, whom she is very close to and loves tagging along with his adventures regardless of wether or not he approves.
Uran loves art and nature. She tends to hang out with animals and in forests. Uran is very empathetic to the point where she can even sense what others are feeling or thinking.


Pluto

Count Guiss was designed to be a combination of Kin Sankaku and Count Burg . Guiss is a short, paunchy white human aged somewhere in his 50s-60s. He has black, slicked-back hair, with thick sideburns and a mustache. He also wears a monocle, in spite of the technological and medical advancements around him. Guiss usually wears either a thick red housecoat and ascot, or a white linen suit with a red bolo tie.
Guiss also bears a strong resemblance to Tintin villain Roberto Rastapopoulos, particularly his appearance in the animated film Tintin et le Lac aux Requins (1972). The film was not officially released in Japan until 1995 [1] , but it played in European theatres at the same time as Osamu Tezuka's Cleopatra (1970) [2] , making it quite possible that Tezuka could have seen Tintin et le Lac aux Requins himself.


Pluto

Zane is a slender teen with fair skin, shaggy black hair and brown eyes.


Pluto

In his complete form, Zeus is a bipedal humanoid robot. He resembles a Caucasian young man in his late teens, with long blonde hair and brown eyes. Uran becomes smitten with Zeus's appearance in spite of his violent acts. He is dressed in a grey jumpsuit with red details and a belt. When on the job with Lamp, Zeus will wear a wide-brimmed fedora and long beige trench coat.
In his CPU unit form, Zeus resembles a small silly toy dog. He is even shorter than Uran, only as tall as her chin when standing beside her. Zeus is oblong in shape, with a pointed nose and behind, which resembles the snout and tail of a dog. He walks on two legs, and is covered in red plating and protruding electrical connections from where he connects into the rest of his body. Zeus is able to disconnect from his body and walk around freely, and then reconnect by opening a lock mechanism via the back of his body's head, which then emits a magnetic beam to pull him back into place.

Zeus was designed to be easily manipulated. He obeys Lamp's orders only because he is programmed to. He hates his reputation as a murderer, and this causes him to act out behind Lamp's back. Zeus is very naive, but also unable to trust others because of his experience with Lamp. At one point, Zeus considers Uran his first friend, but later feels betrayed & insulted when he realizes Uran thought his humanoid form was pretty while his CPU form was ugly.


Pluto

Zog is said to be a large, derelict construction bot with extreme brute strength and capacity, built 100 years before the events of the 2009 film but left on the surface. Compared to modern robots of his size, Zog is simplistic and primtive. His hull protects him from erosion to a certain degree.

Wrecked Zog

After being reactivated, Astro and Cora bring Zog to Hamegg . He immediately becomes part of Hamegg's robot arena, and Hamegg's adopted children help clean and redecorate Zog. He gets a proper polish, and is hand-painted with patterns and his new name.

Zog is an AI-enabled robot, but his personality is very limited. He has the ability to speak but does not do so often. Zog also has a strong distaste for humans, due to the treatment he received as a construction worker.

Zog lends Astro some of his energy

At one point, Zog rebels against Hamegg. He predates the Law of Robotics [1] , is unbound by them, and is also aware himself.
In spite of his brutal edge, Zog is a strong ally to Astro Boy, as both are powered by the blue core's energy and therefore are relatively pacifistic. The two are pitted against each other at Hamegg's robot arena, but they refuse to fight. He later returns the favour by sparing some of his blue core capacity to revive Astro.


Pokémon

The Bittercold looks like a giant snowflake with six prongs, six more purple prongs extend behind these. At its center is a pink diamond shaped core encased in ice.
It has an eerie purple aura emanating from its core and expels chunks of ice from its center.


Pokémon

Cynthia is a tall and slender young lady with gray eyes and wavy knee‐length creamy‐blonde hair that covers her left eye with bangs. Cynthia wears black straight‐leg trousers, a long black coat with a V‐neck and black fur rimming its cuffs and hem, and a teardrop‐shaped pearl on the center of the coat. Under the coat, she dons a black top. Cynthia's outfit is finished with black kitten‐heel pumps possessing each a yellow stripe. For accessories, Cynthia wears a black fur ruff around her neck with two pairs of hair clips on each side of her hair, both teardrop shaped and possessing each a yellow stripe.

Cynthia has an overwhelmingly strong and independent personality. Always up for a good challenge, she never restrains her potential, as shown by her multiple battles throughout the series. It is also clear that she wants to help other Trainers grow and expand bonds with their own Pokémon. Despite being clear during battles and Pokémon treatment, she can be indecisive when it comes to sweets such as ice cream.
She also assists Ash and the group when they are trying to stop criminal organizations such as Team Galactic and later Team Rocket who wants to conquer the Unova region by using Meloetta and the legendary Tao trio. She once again stopping Team Galactic from using Heatran and one of Arceus ' Plates from bringing back Cyrus , the Team Galactic Boss.
Prior to her battle with Ash, Cynthia contemplated retiring from Pokémon battling. Her vast experience likely made her feel she reached the zenith of her potential. Once she lost to Ash in battle she abandoned this mindset, realizing she still had a lot to learn from battling and feeling the thrill of battling a passionate opponent who for the first time gave her a challenge and prevail.


Pokémon

Harry Goodman (Pokémon: Detective Pikachu)

Harry Goodman is a Caucasian man with glasses, brown hair and a beard (his only depicted appearance where his face is shown).

Harry's relationship with his son is shown as being strained due to his work, where Tim was raised by his maternal grandmother rather than by him or his wife. However, Harry clearly makes an effort to reach out to Tim and cares for his son very much regardless, to the point where he was willing to set up a room for him to stay in and keep it clean for years just in case his son decided he wanted to live with him.


Pokémon

Ash is a skinny, slender preteen with a black hair, slightly tan skin, and brown eyes with two distinctive lightning bolt-like markings for cheeks underneath each eye. Ash's pupils were not visible during the Indigo League and through the Diamond & Pearl series until the Best Wishes series made them more profound and distinguishable.
While Ash wears a few different outfits, he always wears a baseball cap, which changes depending on the region he is in. Without a cap, Ash is shown to have a cowlick and a narrow, triangular, and edgy tuft of hair in the middle of his forehead that comes to a point on the right side.

Ash is very determined to be a great Pokémon Trainer. Personality-wise, Ash is a strong person, shows confidence when battling and shows a lot of sympathy towards Pokémon, usually helping and befriending them through his long journey. As a result, Ash doesn't like Trainers who mistreat Pokémon, such as Damian , Paul , and Shamus . Ash also serves as a role model for many people such as May , Dawn , N , Serena , Sawyer , Lillie , and Goh . In fact, he often astounds people with his skills and abilities, and unpredictability. Ash's strategy and tactics in battle are usually problem-solving, including thinking on his feet during special matches or that relate to the special and unique abilities of Pokémon. Also, Ash even takes input from his friends and has always helped him whenever he was stuck in a jam.
Ash is generally kind, brave, enthusiastic, compassionate, passionate, adventurous, selfless, fair-minded, trusting and good-natured. However, he can be stubborn, hot-headed, short-tempered, impatient, cocky, reckless, and sometimes impulsive at times. During his journey, Ash realized that some of those traits were affecting him, as they had caused him to lose some of his gym battles. By recognizing this, Ash trained himself for his rematches and keeping those parts of himself in check so they would not only affect him in battle again, but also outside of it as well. Although those traits still remain, they have been shown to be less of a problem during his Pokémon battles. Thanks to his hard work, Ash has corrected the hot-headed, cocky, and impulsive parts of his personality, though he still shows them if Pokémon were being mistreated, some of his friends teasing him, and various other reasons. Since then, Ash has demonstrated much greater maturity and level-headedness both in and out of battles. In addition, he has given everyone around him good advice to better themselves and their goals. Ash also has a fascination with science and technology, even though he cannot understand most of it.

Ash has a hard time opening up to others, as he does not like to talk about his feelings and his past. At first, he had difficult times when it came to taking advice or criticism from his peers, especially from his friends, but that changed as time went on. While Ash has grown to be more open towards talking about his feelings and taking advice or criticism, he still has trouble opening up about his past sometimes. However, Ash does open up about his past with his friends and Pokémon whenever the topic comes up, though it is only if he needs someone to talk to or if he felt like talking about it, since it either reflects a mistake of his or it makes him feels comfortable sharing to anyone who is closest to him. Despite being more open, Ash still shows his stubborn side at times, although it's mostly shown when he is depressed or upset.
Ash is also honest and a Trainer that keeps his word as he usually doesn't break promises to his friends, family, and Pokémon, although he does the same thing for ones that aren't his. Sometimes, Ash makes promises to himself as well, which was shown during his first Pokémon League competition where he decided to not repeat the same mistakes, he made in future League competitions. This was shown again after the events of the Kalos crisis, as Ash blamed himself for what happened when he unknowingly revealed one of his abilities to a leader of a villainous organization, which ended up putting himself and his Pokémon, Pikachu and his Kalos Pokémon, in danger. After that event, Ash decided to keep his special abilities, Aura and Bond Phenomenon, hidden from others. However, Ash has only told a few of his friends and Pokémon about his abilities as he has faith in them. So far, Ash has not told his mother, Misty, Tracey, Iris, Cilan, Lana, Kiawe, Lillie, Sophocles, Mallow, Goh and the rest of his Pokémon family about his rare abilities. When questioned or comforted about the skills or powers he possesses and the mysteries he holds, Ash had shown to panic about that or somewhat denies what he can do, which was mainly shown with Gladion and Goh, as he not only sees himself as an ordinary Trainer just on his journey to reach his goals but is also trying to protect the ones he cares deeply for.
Despite this, Ash has trained his Pokémon that are connected to his abilities. In addition to keeping his abilities hidden, Ash decided to keep his "Alola Pokémon League Champion" reputation a secret from anyone outside the Region, excluding a couple individuals, as he wanted to resume his journey as a Trainer, not as a regional Pokémon League Champion. Although Ash's other reason for wanting to keep his "Alola Pokémon League Champion" reputation a secret was because he was worried that he wasn't going to be taken seriously. However, after finding out that Iris became the Champion of Unova region and having a homecoming in Alola, Ash came to accept that he couldn't keep his reputation a secret anymore and realized that he was taken seriously as both a Champion and Trainer, as he didn't mind being called Champion in the Masters Tournament.

On the other side, Ash has a natural, inborn love for battling. He enjoys battling Gym Leaders and anyone who challenges him, especially Trainers with a similar zeal and passion as him. However, while Ash is passionate, a good battler, and has a lot of achievements under his belt, he loses most of the Pokémon Leagues he challenges, though his skills have improved overtime. Prior to becoming the Monarch in the Masters Eight Tournament , Ash had only triumphed over the Orange League in the Orange Archipelago and the Manalo Conference in the Alola region.
Additionally, despite his confidence and zeal, Ash can be modest and humble as he sometimes gets embarrassed when complimented on his skills as a Trainer, but it does not happen very often. In addition, Ash does not usually admit that he has not changed one bit, although it shows that he stays true to who he is, even when everyone around him notices it when he doesn't. Also, Ash has shown an insecure side, as he does worry about what his friends that he travels or travel with and his Pokémon family would think of him as a person, shown when his mother would say embarrassing things about him in front of his friends or Pokémon and when he got defensive by Brock and Misty as they reminded him about how he got their badges for petty reasons over getting them in battle right in front of his classmates along with his teachers, but one of the reasons for that side was because he knows he would get teased or scolded about it, which makes him either upset or defends himself. Although Ash's main reason for his insecurity side was because he wants everyone around him, especially his friends and Pokémon, to see him for the person they came to be known instead of who he used to be. However, Ash has seen that people close to him do not care about who he used to be, which not only shows that they have great faith in him but also that they are their true friends towards him. Despite the insecurities he has, Ash at times doesn't care about what anybody thinks of him, which shows how confident he is about being himself. At the beginning of his journey, Ash used to brag about his achievements, but overtime didn't say anything about his previous accomplishment that much, although he does mention them sometimes but not as much in a bragging tone.

Ash with Pikachu and his Journeys Pokémon Aiming to Battling Leon in the World Coronation Series.

Despite his wins and losses, Ash knows he has a long way to go to make his dream a reality and continues traveling along with growing stronger to pursue it. Besides the Gym battles and Pokémon Leagues, Ash also enjoys competing in other special challenges and competitions such as the Battle Frontier in his home region Kanto, the Trials and Grand Trials in the Alola region, and the World Coronation Series in the Galar Region.
Ash's biggest fear is losing anyone he's really close to, especially his friends and family. However, Ash is afraid to lose his Pokémon family even more, due to Team Rocket's constant attempts to steal his Pokémon away from him. Similarly, Ash is afraid of putting everyone he cares about in danger. Ever since the time Pikachu temporarily had amnesia and sided with Team Rocket , Ash became afraid that his Pokémon might leave him the same way his partner and best friend almost did. Ash is also worried that he won't meet his Pokémon family's expectations or be strong enough for them. Because of his fears, Ash sometimes doubts his Pokémon potential, which also affects his faith and trust in them as well, especially when some of them display a unique kind of power in their strengths. In the XY series, Ash almost lost himself when he let his fears get to him, but Serena reminded him of who he is and helped him get his act together. However, Ash does put his fears aside to help his Pokémon become stronger, which in turn helps him get over his fears altogether, albeit slowly. Because of that, Ash is often able to help Pokémon with a rare ability to perfect their true power.
Ash has also been shown to have a strong sense of justice. He doesn't hesitate to assist Officer Jenny , the Pokémon Rangers , and the International Police in their missions. He has a hatred for evil organizations, such as Team Rocket , Team Aqua , Team Magma , Team Galactic , Team Plasma , Team Flare , and Team Skull . Also, Ash doesn't like Pokémon hunters, especially J . Ash regularly risks his own life to protect Pokémon and defeat criminals.
Also, he can be rambunctious, big-hearted, optimistic, sometimes naive, highly ambitious, accepting, independent, and mature.

Pokémon

Jupiter is a tall, slim, pale woman with purple eyes and hair, which is tied into buns. She wears a Team Galactic outfit, with black sleeves and kneepads, while the rest of the outfit is colored white. Her left thigh is exposed partially bare.

Following after her fellow Commander, Saturn, has succeeded in several of the early missions for Team Galactic's Red Chain Project, Jupiter is assigned with Mars to help Saturn in retrieving the Lustrous Orb from Sinnoh Pokémon League Champion Cynthia's grandmother, Prof. Carolina, from her lab in Celestic Town. After their leader, Cyrus, intimidates Team Rocket after they threaten to destroy the Lustrous Orb, Jupiter ambushes them and takes the Lustrous Orb back, allowing her and the other Commanders to retreat back to their headquarters with both the Lustrous and Adamant Orbs in their possession. [1] Jupiter was with Saturn and Cyrus, the latter receiving the report of Mars' mission. [2]
Elsewhere, Jupiter found one of the grunts at the Fuego Ironworks was a spy. She had her Skuntank attack the spy, who was Looker. Team Rocket attempted to rescue Looker to stop Team Galactic, but they, too, were captured by Jupiter. She later went to the Red Chain, admiring it, before being joined by Charon. Charon boasted that he had made the Red Chain. She wanted to ask what would happen to Looker and others, but Charon stated that their fates would be left for Cyrus to decide. Hearing intruders on Team Rocket's balloon were approaching, Jupiter went to confront them.
She faced Ash and his friends, questioning them as to why the Lake Trio chose them instead of her and her fellow Galactic Commanders to bond and befriend with. The resulting battle that followed allowed her to escape, but not without leaving behind a booby trap from Charon to wipe out the International Police's databanks to prevent them from interfering in the Red Chain Project. While in the helicopter, Jupiter wanted to know why the Lake Trio chose the children, to which Charon claimed that she was just jealous. He asked her about the Red Chain, which was secured. [3]
When Azelf was captured, Jupiter watched as Uxie appeared to aid Azelf. Her Purugly went to attack Mesprit, distracting it enough to be captured. After J captured the Lake Trio, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter thanked her for the assistance as she departed away, and the commanders went to the headquarters. Due to the Lake Trio's influence, they warped Ash, Brock and Dawn to the headquarters, where they faced Cyrus and his commanders. Mars and Jupiter, sensing the connection between the Lake Trio and the heroes, believed the latter should be eliminated, but remained silent when Cyrus glared them. [4]
After Cyrus left to deal with other matters, it did not take long for Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn to overpower and capture Ash, Dawn, and Brock. Noticing Looker and Team Rocket as spies, Jupiter attacked them as well, and taking them to Mount Coronet as hostages. While Cyrus took Saturn, Charon, and Mars with him into Spear Pillar, Jupiter was left behind to guard the hostages. However, her Skuntank was ambushed and knocked out by Cynthia's Garchomp, which then restrained Jupiter to ensure no more interference from her, allowing the Sinnoh Champion to free the hostages.
As Cyrus and the others began the plan to capture Dialga and Palkia to create a new universe for Team Galactic, Jupiter watched as the weather changes for the worst due to what was happening in Spear Pillar, declaring the end of the old world and the start of the new one to Cynthia, Ash, and the others. However, Cynthia, Ash, and the others were able to stop Cyrus' plan, free Dialga and Palkia. As Cyrus was lost beyond a portal to the new world that Dialga and Palkia closed, Jupiter was arrested by Looker with Mars and Saturn, and taken away to face punishment for all of Team Galactic's crimes. [5] Jessie wrote a letter to Team Rocket HQ that she, James and Meowth were the ones that defeated Jupiter and disbanded Team Galactic organization. [6]

Vicious is one of the first example of a most villain wholly without redeeming qualities within the Pokémon franchise- he was downright cruel, ruthless, cunning, menacing, treacherous, selfish, reckless, controlling and generally uncaring of whomever he hurt. He was a depraved and cold-hearted psychopath by nature, gleefully tortured and willingly abused both humans and Pokémon in his scheme to take over the world, even planning to betray and overthrow his boss Giovanni. Even Jessie, James and Meowth were horrified by his sadistic and sociopathic methods.


Pokémon

Pokémon

Pokémon

Ariana is quite confident in her strength. It is why she belittles her opponents, to lower their guard down. Like the rest of the Team Rocket admins, she is devoted to Giovanni and wants to see the latter returned as the leader of Team Rocket, believing that their organization only existed with him as its leader.


Pokémon

Atticus wears a customized set of clothes that represent his interpretation of a ninja, utilizing a mismatch of purple, black and green colors. His face is partially concealed by his headwear, although during a cutscene when he is not wearing it, he has silver hair and sapphire blue eyes and his facial feature is shown to be very handsome.

Atticus with his hood off

His Poison type preference is not only reflected in his predominantly purple ninja outfit, but also the idea that Ninjas use poison and smoke to "conceal" their identity when on missions. His accent being very Shakespearian may be a reference to how many of the tragedies of Shakespear involved poison, but it helps sell his eccentric and misunderstood nature, as Poison as a type is known for being suspicious due to its quirky, threatening traits.
Atticus' academy attire is much more formal than the other members of Team Star, wearing a white shirt along with an academy-colored tie. He also wears an academy-colored suit on top of his shirt and also wears academy-colored pants and shoes.

Atticus is a highly skilled designer, having designed both his and his fellow leaders' based on his interpretation of them. In contrast to his fellow teammates, Atticus speaks befitting of a noble in medieval times. He frequently addresses Penny as "my lady", showcasing his respect towards her. His eccentric personality reflects his preference for Poison types as he's well aware that people find him strange, but he doesn't care, only wishing to just be himself and not get in anyone's way. He is really kind deep down and shows little hostility towards anyone like when he mentioned he would beg for them to lend him the costume for his friend. Ultimately showing that Poison is just as misunderstood as he is and when you get to understand it, it can be a force for good.


Pokémon

Blake has black hair tied into a ponytail, and a black moustache. He sports a pitch black tux with a dark purple undershirt with matching pitch black glasses and shoes.

Gorm is one of the Seven Sages that was loyal to Ghetsis, scoffing at people for owning Pokémon. After Team Plasma went into hiding, due to their failed operations at the Pokémon League, Rood remained with Ghetsis to restore their plans. Bronius scoffs at Gyms, thinking they were the "root of all evil".


Pokémon

Bryony has short green hair and green lipstick on. She wears advanced green goggles on her eyes, a green tie, an orange suit with a belt with the Team Flare logo on it, a pair of orange gloves and two high orange boots with black curls.


Pokémon

Bryony, despite looking like a cold person, actually cares a bit for her teammates and praises them for tough, successful work. Bryony is also quite knowledgeable, having read many books - a trait shared by Ramos , the Gym Leader of Coumarine City . Still, her ruthlessness is widely-known among the ranks of Team Flare.


Pokémon

Butch has brown eyes, which are more of a maroon in his most recent appearances, and short green hair with M-shaped bangs. One of his most defining traits in undoubtedly his raspy, rough, gravelly voice. It resembles that of a smoker; therefore most people's theory is that he smokes very frequently, which has caused his voice to deteriorate.
He is known to have a great rivalry with James, who calls him "Botch". He wore a black long-sleeve shirt with a large red R on it, a white belt, black pants, and white boots and gloves with red trim.
As a baker, he wears a white t-shirt with brown buttons on the front, brown pants, a tan ascot, cap, and apron, and tan shoes with brown trim.

Butch, although the quieter and submissive one of him and Cassidy, appears to be fairly intelligent. In "Pikachu Revolts", he explained to Jessie and James how he and Cassidy were controlling the Pokémon with, "This device amplifies Drowzee's attacks and broadcasts it through a parabolic antenna on the roof."
Butch also seems quite masculine compared to the more effeminate James. He appears to be the tough type, and slightly arrogant with it. In 'Showdown At The Oak Corral', when Butch and Cassidy were disguised as a Golem and a Nidoqueen, Butch stated, "I think I make a good Golem!" When Cassidy replied, "And why is that?" He began to go on about how he was, like Golem, tough, strong, powerful, fearless, etc. until Cassidy told him, "Enough already! I get your point!"
A recurring gag in the anime is that almost every single character fails to get Butch's name right, much like Stephan in the Black and White series. Variations include Botch, Biff, Buzz, Patch, Hutch, and a few more ( コサンジ , Kosanji in Japanese version). This of course infuriates him. He gets extremely wound up and over the top about it, and continues to furiously correct the culprits of getting his name wrong. In "The Ole Berate And Switch," Butch seemed rather depressed about the fact that Cassidy, despite the two of them knowing each for a long time and being partners ever since they were Team Rocket-trainees, still often forgets his name. This suggests he perhaps values her opinion more than the others.
He has OCD regarding people getting his name wrong, meaning that he is very sensitive of the issue. His annoyance with people getting his name wrong even got to the point where he says "That does it, I am changing my name," after his third name mishap in about two or so minutes in SS012: Training Daze, but Cassidy did call his name correctly.
By the time of Journeys, he is no longer hostile to Jessie and Meowth and is more than happy to let them run his bakery for a while. He is still sensitive about people mispronouncing his name, though he was shocked that Jessie pronounced Butch's name correctly.


Pokémon

Carl is a tall and thin young man; he stands the tallest of all the masked children. He has short dark hair slicked forward. He wears the standard grey Team Rocket jumpsuit with the logo on the left part of the chest, and black boots.
When he was younger, while with the Masked Man, he wore a mask to disguise himself.

Carl was kidnapped alongside Sham into the Masked Man 's service. [1] All of Masked Man's children were chosen, based on their gender, age, talents and birthplace. [2] Together, along with Karen and Will , watched as Ho-Oh took Green to the Masked Man, who placed the mask on her and took Green in his group by force. [3] Sham and Carl trained together, per the Masked Man's proposal, and all were to wear masks. [4]
Later, when Green and Silver attempted to escape from the Masked Man's base, Carl and the other associates intercepted their movements in the air duct. Carl attacked with his Houndoom as Silver sprawled from the combined attacks. Green severed a cooling vent, as the billowing smoke obscured their movements from Crl and the others. When Carl and the others pursued them, they found themselves faced with the gradually expanding body of Green's Jigglypuff . [5]


Pokémon

She has purple eyes and gold hair worn in pigtails. She also wears a pair of triangular pink earrings. Her Team Rocket uniform takes the form of a black short-sleeved mini-dress with the team's red R logo on the front, plus white gloves that reach the sleeves and have a red stripe near that area, and white thigh high boots with the same stripe near the tops and a small heel.
In Journeys, due to her quitting Team Rocket, Cassidy stopped wearing her Team Rocket uniform. She now wears a white buttoned-up shirt with a black skirt and black heels to match. She also wears a green apron with a yellow-green flower on the top part of the apron and one single pocket.

She is extremely arrogant, vain, conniving and constantly infuriates Jessie with her snobbish attitude and belittling remarks; however it could be argued Jessie is just too easily annoyed and sensitive. She also seems to be very smug and proud about her rank in the organization. It's likely that she and Butch have been successful many times in the past, earning Giovanni's trust. Unfortunately for them, every time they have a plan running smoothly when they show up, it always gets foiled by Ash and friends, and the duo are carted off to jail, or blasted off again.
Cassidy shares a bitter rivalry with Jessie. It is possible that they met before Training Academy, which is most likely where the rivalry started. In the episode 'Training Daze' they were shown racing each other on the treadmills, it then showed the two of them in the locker rooms afterward, where Cassidy began to pick on Jessie about her 'reputation for being difficult around the place' along with demeaning 'hon's and 'sweetie's. Then again, it's plausible that their rivalry goes back further than their training days. Cassidy's endless taunts and remarks about how she's more competent and successful winds Jessie up to no end, and Cassidy seems to take great pleasure in provoking her rival.
She is one of the only characters who manages to get her partner Butch's name right- most of the time; as well as James. It also appears that Cassidy is the more dominant half of her team. In The Breeding Center Secret' she acted as the spokeswoman for their phony breeding center, luring in the crowds and putting on a 'nice' act while Butch stayed in the background. She seems to boss Butch around a little- this is seen a lot in the episode 'Luvdisc Is a Many Splendored Thing' where she repeatedly yells commands at her partner such as "Gun it!" or "Get a move on, Hutch!" and "Never mind this mushy stuff, after them!" Butch seems to go along with it without complaints, however. However it can be noticed that Cassidy treats Butch kinder than Jessie treats James. In-fact in the The Old Berate and Switch episode; when Cassidy was paired with James; and Jessie was partnered with Butch; it can be noted when Butch got the motto wrong; Jessie kicked him. While when Cassidy did the motto wrong with James; saying "whenever there is a piece of pie in the universe" when he questioned her about saying "piece of pie?" she simply yelled at him; embarrassed, and never touched him in a violent manner.
However, Cassidy eventually grew weary of the routinely missions and duties of Team Rocket, and both her and Butch decided to quit from it to start a new chapter. She has also revealed that she actually likes doing wood carving as a hobby. It also appears that she is no longer hostile to Jessie, given that Cassidy provided food and a warm shelter to Jessie, James, Meowth and Wobbuffet. However, she does get mad at James and kicked him out of her cafe due to his Morpeko eating all the customer's orders.


Pokémon

Celosia has purple hair and purple lipstick on. Celosia wears some purple-tinted advanced glasses, a purple tie, an orange suit (with two shoulder pauldrons on) with a belt with the Team Flare logo on, some black tights and orange boots.

Pokémon

Chairman Rose is a tall and handsome tan-skinned man with black hair, green eyes, and neatly trimmed facial hair. Despite his svelte appearance, he also has a round, portly belly (although it's barely visible when he wears his regular attire). Clothing-wise, Rose has one ear pierced and usually wears a sharp gray business suit, as befits his status and wealth. His suit consists of a gray vest with numerous black buttons, a gray overcoat with a single gold button, a white shirt, and a red tie. He also wears classy gray pants that match his suit, along with a gold and black belt, pointed red and black shoes, and a gold watch.
However, when Rose is "undercover", he wears an outfit that clashes with his suave appearance (and altogether does a very poor job of disguising him). His undercover outfit consists of black sunglasses, a black hat with Rose Tower 's symbol on it, a white long-sleeved sweater, and blue-green shorts with white polka dots all over them.

While Rose is friendly, well-meaning, and charming, he is also extremely impatient, reckless, and prone to making foolish decisions. During the events of the games, he almost destroys the entire Galar region because he is unable to wait a single day for an event that will happen a thousand years in the future. While he is well-meaning, does what he thinks is best for everyone, and eventually does change his ways, he is short-sighted and unable to see the long-term consequences of his actions until it is too late. After Eternatus is subdued, he gives Macro Cosmos to Leon and turns himself in, either because he sees himself as a criminal or seeks psychological help.
Rose does not get along well with his brother Peony , despite having caught his Copperajah with him as a Cufant .

Rose seems to be approachable and amiable, but it appears that he has a darker agenda. Although he mostly acknowledges potential Trainers, he is also rather arrogant and impulsive, such as trying to re-enact the Darkest Day just to prevent the resources of Galar from depleting without putting the people's lives into calculation, and ignores the consequences of uncontrollably Dynamaxed Pokémon. He is best described a someone who can be quite ruthless in order to achieve a certain goal, and can be manipulative as well. Unlike his game counterpart, who is well-meaning but unintentionally causes chaos, he is shown to be more overtly evil in the anime.


Pokémon

Chalce is an adult woman who has brown skin and eyes, thick lips, and dark brown hair in large dreadlocks. She wears a white long-sleeved shirt equipped with dark orange clips, brown and black belts around her waist, a dark orange skirt with dull yellow rims, and white boots in blue accents and yellow buttons. Her dreadlocks are adorned with large pale beige and blue trapezoid accessories, and her forehead, neck and wrists with dark orange rings. She also has three Poké Balls around her hip.

Though a calm and collected individual, Chalce will not hesitate to call out her allies for messing up their missions such as harshly calling out Spinel for losing the pendant . Like Spinel, she regards Amethio as a liability.


Pokémon

Charon is a short old man, who has patches of pointy lavender-colored hair. He wears a grey shirt and black trousers like most Team Galactic members do, with a logo on his chest, as well as grey shoes with black soles. He also wears a lab coat, and red-tinted round glasses.

His name comes from the largest moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. His name might also come from the figure in Greek mythology, the ferryman of Hades.
In Japanese, Charon is named Pluto, after the dwarf planet and former ninth planet (which in turn was named after the Roman god of death and the underworld).


Pokémon

Charon is a man, obsessed with powerful Pokémon. He finds only the Legendary Pokémon worth to use. He shows brutality like the rest of Team Galactic, but he also displays some cowardice to escape from a lost battle.


Pokémon

Like other Team Galactic commanders, Charon is a shady individual that will make any attempt to reach his goals. However, he is not as trusted or charismatic as other commanders are, and covets information on his projects. When things turn rough, he is quick to abandon the scene.


Pokémon

Colress is a man with blonde hair and wears a blue cowlick around his head. He has yellow eyes and wears glasses.

Colress is a scientist who aims to unlock the full potential of Pokémon, regardless of the cost. For this reason, he chooses to side with Team Plasma and assist them with their plans as long as his research remains unimpeded. Despite his allegiances, Colress openly disagrees with Plasma's ideologies and greatly dislikes Ghetsis, though his opinions on the other Sages is unknown. Throughout the games, Colress is depicted as genuinely helpful and friendly, regarding the player character as a worthy opponent and acquaintance. He is excitable and passionate about his research and battling, and will repeatedly ask the player character for rematches if visited during the postgame. Despite this, he is said to be mysterious and difficult to read.

This relationship broke after Colress lost control over Kyurem.
He sometimes makes snide remarks, either to belittle others or to boast himself, though he dislikes people criticizing his work. After turning over to interpol, Colress became less villainous.


Pokémon

In all Hoenn games, Courtney is a medium-height and slim woman, with a short bob cut. She wears a red hood with horns.

Courtney, who in the past was a great scientist, has a brilliant and analytical mind. She doesn't speak very often and when she does, she often pauses during her sentences, indicating a possible speech impediment. She also has a habit of giggling childishly. She rarely shows interest in what is happening around her but when something, or someone, actually does gain her interest, she becomes obsessed and will pursue relentlessly.
Courtney is extremely devoted to Maxie but when he is defeated by the player, she becomes confused and upset by his decision to give up the plan they devoted their life to. Courtney takes matters into her own hands but her mental state starts to deteriorate until she finally suffers a mental break down.
Courtney holds herself like a child pretending to be an adult and uses her unique body language and poses to look more harmless than she really is.


Pokémon

Courtney doesn't believe much in Team Magma's goals. Instead, she joined out of her own amusement. Still, Courtney doesn't hold back and makes threats to her opponents. Though Courtney participated in the Contests, she feels the fire she tries to burn through everything is the most beautiful thing in the world. Courtney is very often seen blowing bubbles with bubblegum.


Pokémon

Cyrus is always dressed in his gray Team Galactic uniform. He has spiked light blue hair and very defined facial features. He is rarely seen without a dark, brooding expression on his face. The uniform he wears bears a Team Galactic logo pinned to his vest on his left upper breast. The uniform itself consists of a long sleeve black shirt with a gray vest over it, long black pants designed in a similar fashion to the shirt sleeves, and gray shoes.

Cyrus is quite a passionate, devout man in his beliefs. He also displays some charisma to inspire his subordinates in following him.
He uses a lot of brutal, destructive force in achieving his goals. However, this is due to having little human contact as a child; instead of having friends, Cyrus was involved in his tasks and jobs. This made him quite annoyed by faulty details, like Pokémon battles, which weren't perfect, unlike the universe itself. Thus, his goal is to create a new world, using powers of Palkia and Dialga.
He later realizes this mistake. He realized that his feelings were clouding his logic, and helps his former enemies in stopping the villains.


Pokémon

Cyrus was originally shown as being a very polite and affable businessman who seemed to get along well with other people. However, this was actually a mask to cover up his true personality. Cyrus was actually a ruthless man who was hellbent on destroying the current universe and replacing it with his own to the point that he wanted to be the only one from the original who inhabited it. He had no qualms about attempting to kill anyone who came between him and his goals, and he was shown as taking sadistic delight in his crimes.
Cyrus was also a hypocrite. While he preaches on creating a world where there isn't any emotion, he is known to go through a few fits of rage when his plans start to unravel, and he also expressed amusement at the idea of having Iron Island destroyed along with all of its inhabitants.


Pokémon

Cyrus is a man who always thinks logically and calmly, which wins the respect from his underclassmen. One of Cyrus' most defining characteristics is his apparent lack of emotions; however, he isn't truly emotionless but rather he only pretends to be so. Due to losing hope on the flawed human heart, he becomes ambitious and desires to wipe the present world so that the world can be renewed and perfected as he has always wished.


Pokémon

Pokémon

Dr. Zed appears as a middle-aged man with gray hair along with a straight white bang and zig-zag like ponytail, as well as a beard. He wears sunglasses, a yellow suit with black stripes, a red shirt and a green tie with a blue pendant.
In the flashback of the events, he still looks the same, but was younger and he wore a white lab coat.

At first, Dr. Zed presents himself as a calm and reasonable man, but in truth, he is selfish, arrogant, stubborn, and psychotic, willing to go to any length to achieve his goals. He is shown to be mentally unstable, repeatedly having mental breakdowns when his authority and knowledge is doubted.


Pokémon

Edward is an elderly man which is shown through his greying hair. Before he reveals himself to be the Societea's leader, he is always seen wearing his doctor's uniform.

At first glance, Edward is a friendly doctor seeking to help anyone who requires his services. He is shown to be quite close to several elderly people, later to be revealed the rest of the Societea. When his true nature is revealed, he is shown to be manipulative, power hungry, and ruthless to the point of destroying an island and almost killing the Pokémon who lived on it. However, he admits his doctor persona was a real part of him, if only to balance out the evil things he's done with his life. Above all, Edward admitted he despised his retirement and his motivation for everything he did was to avoid being old and decrepit.


Pokémon

Pokémon

Eri is a tall girl that themes herself after the lucha libre much like Hawlucha in her Team Star attire. She wears a completely white outfit with knee-high legwarmers and boots underneath. Her luchador mask is blue, pink and purple, with white "fangs" next to her mouth to add a sense of intimidation. A black star with a white lightning bolt is above her left eye.
In her academy uniform, Eri's face is revealed, appearing rather youthful and has black hair that falls down to her shoulders. She wears a white shirt with academy colors and the academy's insignia. She also wears shorts with a floral pattern, knee-high socks and academy-themed shoes.
Eri's fighting type preference is reflected in how she casually dresses as a Joshi pro wrestler. Wearing a mask and clothes that enhance the appearance of her hands and feet similar to Sneasler's appearance. Fighting type is known as being the "Justice type" to contrast Dark type being "Evil" and thus despite Eri being a boss of Team Star, she is fiercely protective of her friends. Coincidently she is the tallest, reflecting a trend that Fighting types are bigger and taller and more "human" than other pokemon as the Fighting type regional variants indicate.

Eri is a diligent athlete who uses her discipline experience to lead the team's training regimen. Despite being a powerful and skilled fighter and Trainer with her preference for Fighting -type Pokémon, Eri is extremely kind outside of fighting, she will put safety on the line and fight for her friend's protection. Even after being bullied by her fellow classmates, she took in one of her bullies, a student named Carmen , after she had suffered bullying by her classmates, causing Carmen to become fiercely loyal to her in gratitude.
Being one of the oldest members of Team Star, she has a big sister-like mentality to her friends and other students. She does enjoy wrestling and sport fighting, but doesn't enjoy seeing others get hurt, so she often maintains a scary appearance so everyone will likely target her instead of her friends, but after the bullying is formally stopped at the school, she is able to turn her love for sports and reaching out to a positive influence as other students show genuine interest in her wrestling club. Due to her kindness, she can tell when a Trainer's Pokémon have complete trust in their owner. Like Penny, she takes it upon herself to make sure everyone else is okay.


Pokémon

This reflects on his view of other people, treating them as "lesser beings". Moreover, he uses dirty tactics to get an advantage, and tells lies, as an attempt to avoid trouble and gain an advantage.
He is also interested in Ultra Beasts, whom he sees as an opportunity to fulfill Lusamine's dream and take over the company. Ever since Lusamine's husband abandoned her, Faba felt emotional pain, and wants to get rid of her to relieve himself of that torment.


Pokémon

In addition, Faba is also very grouchy, and slightly pessimistic on progress of others and showing hostility when he angrily throws Ash's Rowlet after he mistakenly takes it instead of Nebby who manages to Teleport . Faba is also sneaky to convince the Team Rocket trio to serve as bodyguards in Aether Paradise, but strictly orders them whenever their leader has visitors such as Ash and the group.
Like the other recurring villains aside from the Team Rocket trio, Faba has a sinister side similar to Giovanni's who has his own evil ambitions and his plans to capture Nebby and other Ultra Beasts for his experiments identical to Xerosic 's before being freed by Ash and the group and leading its evolution to Cosmoem.
After being rejected by a Nihilego , which ends up possessing his boss instead, Faba regrets his actions. After Nihilego is defeated, he becomes much nicer, apologizing to Ash and his friends for his sinister ambitions. However, he still retains his pride of the inventions he makes.
Faba is also a very passionate fan of Masked Royal, and decided to keep his identity as a secret when the latter exposed it. In fact, Faba wanted to battle his idol.
