Assassination Classroom

Korosensei has the appearance of a yellow octopus who is about three meters tall and possessed a large, bulbous head with a large smile that rarely breaks or moves, and small, beady eyes. He uses two tentacles as arms, each having two feelers as fingers, and utilized the rest of seemingly jelly-like limbs - his tentacles - to walk. Korosensei has a pair of hidden nostrils, which make him appear to have four eyes if detected. Due to his constant grinning, he changes his color to express his emotions.
Korosensei wears a black academic dress, a small black squarish mortarboard cap with a yellow tassel and a large black tie with a yellow crescent-shaped moon on it, a gift from Aguri Yukimura .
As a human, he had pale skin, a slender build, dark eyes, and short black hair that reached to his nape. He sports an amicable smile, which was initially used to manipulate others. When carrying out assassinations, he donned formal clothing. After being taken prisoner by Kotaro Yanagisawa , he was put in patients' scrubs until his escape and transformation.

It was revealed that he was raised in an environment "where everybody could easily betray one another to the point that one could only trust oneself". Through these hardships, he decided to become an assassin to survive. Despite gaining an apprentice, he only saw him as a tool for his goals, which drove the latter to finally betray his master.
However, after meeting Aguri Yukimura , he finally knew what compassion really was--becoming much more kind and compassionate. According to Aguri, if he was born in a peaceful country, he would be "a little lecherous, smart, klutzy, kind of stingy and stubborn" and he would smile because he is genuinely a kind person. [3] This prediction happens to reflect his personality; which became forefront after he answered the tentacles.
When first introduced, Korosensei was an upbeat individual who demanded absurd and seemingly mundane requests despite claiming he would be the cause of the planet's destruction in a year. He was also rather kind to others in general and could switch from silly and childish to serious on the fly. According to Nagisa Shiota , Korosensei also was unintentionally petty at others at times and loved gossip, both traits heavily noted throughout the series.
From time to time pieces of his old personality as The Reaper were visible such as when Ryoma Terasaka tried to sacrifice Nagisa to kill Korosensei and Korosensei menacingly threatened all of their families if they tried another self-harming attempt like that. In that moment, he resorted to his old method of teaching through fear. As the series progresses, his character development renders him more and more capable of true empathy and learning to use that empathy to teach lessons instead of through fear and reward like he had with his first student .
Korosensei deeply cared for his students' emotional and physical well-being and would lose his temper whenever any of them were put in danger, even by one another. On the annual school trip to Kyoto, a few of his students were assaulted/kidnapped by a gang of high schoolers hidden in an alley. After searching the entire area painstakingly, he infiltrated the abandoned building where two of his students, Yukiko Kanzaki and Kaede Kayano , were being held at and single-handedly beat up all of the high schoolers, scaring them away. [4]
One of Korosensei's attributes was that he was able to connect to each student individually, being an objective, empathetic, and observant person who will do almost anything to help his students. This was why all the students respected him even though he would blow up the Earth in a year. Taking care of each student's needs, Korosensei would sometimes be piqued by a student's current problems or interests and would try his best to guide the student along or solve it for them.
Korosensei loved sweets almost to extreme cases, [5] and was also shown to be a very perverted character, a trait he shares with his student Taiga Okajima and Itona Horibe. This characteristic was revealed to be the side effect of the experimentation with anti-matter tentacles which made him unable to hide his true feelings.


Assassination Classroom

Takebayashi has black hair that is combed over along the sides of his head and he wears round eyeglasses. He looks similar to the persona of manga artist Mizuki Shigeru , enough for Korosensei to be spooked by the resemblance.
His uniform consists of a suit jacket worn over a dress shirt and a black tie, as well as dress pants and dress shoes

Takebayashi is mostly a quiet person. However, he seems somewhat eccentric in his behavior and stands out as the oddball in the class. He also seems to be clumsy at physical activity, having ping pong balls hit his glasses while playing with others and nearly losing balance in one of Tadaomi Karasuma 's lessons. [1] [2] He initially wanted to leave Class 3-E and seemed ashamed to be in the class but decided to stay when he realized how much his class and Korosensei cared for him and vice versa. He is also obsessed with anime, at one point stating "A girl isn't a true girl until she loses the third D" implying he likes anime girls more than real women. He also enjoys going to maid cafes.


Assassination Classroom

While in costume, Shiro wears white robes and a mask over his face, all made from anti-sensei fibers. Additionally, the back of his torso is adorned with a Bohr model of the hydrogen atom. Shiro also utilizes a voice modifier to further hide his identity from Korosensei. [2]
When unmasked, Yanagisawa has short, wavy dark green hair and pale teal eyes, along with fair skin. As a result of his confrontation with Korosensei two years prior to the events of the story, a prosthetic eye replaces his left.
After injecting himself with a modified version of the tentacles, Yanagisawa discards his mask and top robes, revealing a black tank-top underneath. Dark veins sprawl across his entire body and the muscles in his arm bulge to shape themselves like tentacles, allowing him to conceal a syringe inside them. Additionally, in the manga, the sclera in his right eye becomes completely black; in the anime, his eye simply becomes paler.

During his first appearance, Shiro seems humorous and easygoing, and although he retains this attitude while he and Itona Horibe attack Korosensei , it soon becomes clear that he is conniving, manipulative, and ruthless in his ambitions. Furthermore, he sees practically everyone other than himself as disposable. A notable example was in his past as a researcher, where he was revealed to be quite apathetic; he was willing to use human guinea pigs for his research and took out his anger on his coworkers and subordinates, including his fiancée Aguri Yukimura , for getting in the way of his research.
Yanagisawa's sadism intensifies after augmenting himself with the tentacle cells. At that point, his lust to destroy Korosensei came to a point where he no longer cared about whether he lived or died in the process. His amplified sadism is notably shown when Yanagisawa laughs at Kaede Kayano 's apparent demise while stating that it was funny to see her dying like her sister.
It is implied that he sought perfection from his research, focusing on Akari Yukimura and Itona, who were both implanted with tentacles.


Assassination Classroom

Lovro has a very well built physique, showing the appearance of an experienced assassin and mentor. He has short black hair and a deep, ridged black eye line circling his pinprick brown eyes. His older age is noticeable by the creased lines in his skin such as his protruding cheek bones and clearly defined chin.
Lovro wears a black turtleneck top under an unbuttoned white shirt doubled with a black blazer, suit trousers that crease at the ankles and black shoes to match as well as black gloves. He wears a grey trench coat over the top of his clothes. Additionally, he has a scar on his left eye.

Lovro is very sneaky and confident in his own assassination skills. He was even ignorant to how time had weakened his abilities during his first appearance. He seems to believe in Class 3-E and was willing to help train them, even teaching Nagisa the stun clap technique.


Assassination Classroom

Manami is a cute girl with black hair (sometimes with a purplish tint) that is styled into low twin braids that reach just below her shoulder, brown eyes (dark-purple eyes in the anime), she wears round-shaped glasses and she has a more petite frame than most of the girls in Class 3-E .
Seven years after graduating Class 3-E, her hair is styled into a single braid that rests over her left shoulder instead of her usual twin braids.

Okuda is a somewhat awkward, timid, shy and rather introverted girl who had poor language skills, which caused her to be quite incredibly straightforward.
Despite her introversion, Okuda is a sweet and very determined girl who hopes to be useful to her friends and classmates. After meeting Korosensei , Okuda has turned into a much more sensible individual who can express herself more.


Assassination Classroom

Mario has slicked-back dark hair with a pair of dark eyes. He has a mustache.


Assassination Classroom

Kimura has dark brownish green hair which spikes up in many ridges ending in a triangular tip and black eyes.

Kimura is one of the relatively proactive students when it comes to assassination and aims to claim the 10 billion yen reward. [1]


Assassination Classroom

Kataoka is a tall girl with light brown hair that is kept in a low ponytail with straight square bangs.
She is described as being "dashing" by Nagisa Shiota while she has the physique and making of a model, according to Irina Jelavić 's fashion reviews of the students. This combined with her personality and talents earned her the title "Ikemegu".

Kataoka is a kind and capable girl with very strong leadership skills which has been noted several times in the series. She's level-headed and rational and as a result is good at keeping everyone (namely the boys) in line. She was said to know how to take care of others, however, in the past, she allowed others to rely on her too much. A running gag is that she seems to have a relationship complex and seems to be greatly concerned about not being feminine enough.


Assassination Classroom

Nagisa is a petite-framed boy (who is known for his androgynous appearance that has often been poked fun at by many people) with blue hair that goes past his shoulders due to his mother Hiromi Shiota forcing him to keep it that way and he kept it in a long ponytail until Kaede Kayano joined the classroom where she styled it in two pigtails and azure-colored eyes.
Seven years after graduation, his hair is noticeably shorter and no longer tied in pigtails, although he still keeps his bangs. He retains his signature uniform waist coat when working as a teacher.

Nagisa is a calm, collected and friendly individual who can be exceptionally observant and circumspect of his surroundings and the situations that develop around him. He tends to pay strict attention to Korosensei in hopes to understand the motives of the mysterious being and compiles the information he has gathered in his notes for reference.
Nagisa is noticeably more reserved and shy than other students in his class, thinking much more than actually talking and referring to himself as "invisible" because of this. He seems to be commonly nervous about what he says in important situations, being hesitant and harboring a slight stutter, which is possibly due to his mother telling him he "isn't good enough". However, Nagisa is not easily fazed by things that would unnerve the average person as shown in his interactions with Karma Akabane and the prospect of using a real knife.
Despite his calm and empathetic demeanor, Nagisa possessed deep insecurity about his talents and how he was perceived by the people around him. This was reflected by a lack of goals and general pessimism about his own future, which caused him to end up in Class 3-E . However, Nagisa eventually gained more self-esteem, became more objective, and found his own goals, thanks to his experiences with his classmates and especially with Korosensei.


Assassination Classroom

Nagisa's father has short light hair that is looked to be grayish blue, like his son's. However, in the second season of the anime, his hair is dark grey/black and his eyes are black as well.

Nagisa's father appears to be a calm man who feels guilty for leaving Nagisa. He still cares for his son, shown when he takes him out for sushi.


Assassination Classroom

Koyama wears black framed glasses and appears to have crooked teeth. His hair are black, long, and shaggy, giving him a disgruntled look. His face is often contorted with an overly large smile and squinted eyes, accentuating his strangeness.He also looks to have a unibrow. Also with uneven teeth.

Koyama is not different from the rest of the Five Virtuosos in terms of behavior and temperament. He, like most other people in the main campus, looks down on the E class students and he is constantly frustrated when beaten by them. He is an extremely intelligent person and excels in science, despite being constantly beat out for the top spots.


Assassination Classroom

Nise has a plump face along with a round nose and eyes which appear to stay closed. While assuming the identity of Ritsu, Nise wears the standard female Kunugigaoka outfit and takes on Ritsu's hair style.

Her name is a pun, since "Nise" is homophonous to nise (偽) which means "false" or "counterfeit", referencing her role as a substitute for the actual Ritsu.


Assassination Classroom

In contrast to the lanky Chosuke Takada , Tanaka is thickly built with a round face. He has black spiked hair, narrow eyes, freckles on his face, and lightly tanned skin.

Just like Chosuke Takada , Tanaka is very disrespectful to Class 3-E as he takes what he says very lightly, casually threatening to "kill" Nagisa Shiota without thinking of the implications of his words. However, he will cowardly back away if he were to be intimidated, such as when he ran away from Nagisa upon being given a glimpse of the latter's bloodlust. He will also back off if he were to be confronted by someone better than him in any way.


Assassination Classroom

Olga is a tall, delicate looking young woman with long hair ending in curls.

Despite the grim circumstances that surround her in her first appearance, she smiles calmly throughout the whole ordeal, suggesting a calm demeanor and disposition.


Assassination Classroom

Rawan is a man with a well-built physical frame. He has thick eyebrows over a pair of small eyes as well as a large nose and a small stubble. Rawan has dark hair tied into a small ponytail. He dons a dark buttoned-up t-shirt over a white undershirt.

Rawan is a ruthless and brute individual who can be easily provoked. When challenged by Jerome to a minor fistfight, Rawan unleashed a high kick that stopped mere centimeters from Jerome's face, scaring the latter off. He was willing to use Kaede Kayano as a hostage so that he and his group of bandits could escape with the statue unharmed.


Assassination Classroom

Red Eye had short blond hair and dark eyes that are normally covered by dark sunglasses and fair skin. He is commonly seen with a poncho and wears a beanie over his head. When the God of Death came to kill him while he was travelling, he was seen without his hat and sunglasses.

With a record of thirty five kills, Red Eye is quite confident with his skills as a sniper. [1] Perhaps because of this confidence, he welcomes a challenge as seen when his first attempt at assassinating Korosensei failed. [2] However, he knows his limitations and is willing to give up on a job that he thinks would be impossible for him to complete. [3]


Assassination Classroom

Ren is a fair-skinned teenage boy who is considered extremely attractive (just like Gakushu Asano ) with black hair (brown hair in the anime) that is fashioned into a kariage (clipped) hairstyle where it is flipped to the right side and almond-shaped green eyes.

Like the other Big Five , Ren is an arrogant person who also appears to be rather narcissistic. However, he isn't rude and comes across as quiet, which may stem from his affinity with poetry and the humanities. He's flirtatious and often uses his knowledge in poetry to flirt with girls. He normally doesn't take part in the Class 3-E bashing and it's possible that he holds a degree of respect for their abilities (as shown during the first finals arc where he complimented Yukiko Kanzaki for her ability to understand the words).
Out of all of the Big Five members, Ren is arguably the nicest.


Assassination Classroom

Hayami has medium-length wavy light-brown hair (orange-brown hair in the anime) that has bangs hanging over her eyebrows on either side and notably sharp brown eyes (sea-green eyes in the anime) that reflects on her serious personality and they are probably the reason why she's labeled a Tsundere.
She was shown to have three different hairstyles:

In her earlier appearances, she wore her hair down, but after seeing her hairstyle was identical to Irina Jelavić 's [1] , she began wearing them in low pigtails. [2] In the anime, she has always styled her hair into low pigtails. Seven years after graduation, she is seen with longer hair that is no longer tied in pigtails.

Hayami is a very stoic, businesslike and professional girl who has been compared to a working adult along with Ryunosuke Chiba . As a result of her serious demeanor, she can be quite straightforward and direct.
In her initial appearances, Hayami was shown with a much more mild personality, conversing and even smiling with other students, but gradually became more stoic.
However, she secretly has a much softer and sweet side to her personality as shown in a picture of her cheerfully holding a kitten. [3]


Assassination Classroom

Nakamura is described as the “cool and gorgeous girl” of Class 3-E with long straight strawberry blonde hair (a darker blonde color in the OVA) that is parted in the middle and worn swept behind her shoulders and aqua-blue eyes (sometimes appearing as light gray) with notably long eyelashes. The colors of her hair and eyes give her the appearance of a stereotypical Caucasian girl, even though she is Japanese, although her hair does appear to be dyed as in a flashback she appears with a darker shade (black in the manga and dark yellow in the anime). [1]
She wears the Kunugigaoka Junior High School uniform with the assigned pale yellow sweater rather than the gray blazer.

Nakamura is a girl whose sleaziness can put even Class 3-E ’s perverted genie Taiga Okajima to shame, but she also shows the keen intellect of someone known as a former child prodigy. At the same time, she also greatly enjoys teasing others, displaying a genius-level gift for it. She has a nose for finding people to mess with.
She is also a friendly and energetic girl who is somewhat of a trickster where her favorite victim, along with Karma Akabane , is Nagisa Shiota . She's playful, has a dirty mind and she has been noted to be rather intelligent. She claims she was originally a serious person, something that would prove to be true when she disagreed with Nagisa's proposition to save Korosensei and continue to kill him.
Despite her eccentric nature, she can see the bigger picture and hides how she feels, but she cares about Class E more than anyone. She also felt responsible for the bond between the class and Koro-sensei.
On one hand, she can play the role of Class 3-E's resident mischief chick. On the other hand, when the situation calls for it she can be quite straightforward. Even Ryoma Terasaka started to wonder which between the two of them is the more outrageous kid in class.


Assassination Classroom

Ritsu's main body Autonomously Intelligent Fixed Artillery is a large rectangular robotic casing with a video screen. Inside the casing is an assortment of weaponry as well as a 3D printer allowing her to perform various tasks. She is the youngest student of the class at the age of fourteen.
Originally, Ritsu was just a head with lilac hair and red eyes. However, after Korosensei modified her body and increased the size of her screen, her full appearance was shown and her eyes change to a red color fading to light blue. Her outfit changes depending on the situation; swimwear when the class went swimming, a detective outfit when they were solving mysteries. She is most commonly shown in the winter school uniform.
In Koro-Sensei Quest! , Ritsu is unquestionably one of the most altered figures, being a more versatile and humanistic ancient magical stone tablet instead of futuristic artillery. Despite retaining her black casing, she can simply spring out a human's limbs just like a normal girl wearing her casing. In an emergency, she can purge herself out of the casing as a program, allowing Kotaro Takebayashi to wear her casing and becoming a 2D program himself.

Initially, Ritsu was focused only on killing Korosensei at all costs, apathetic to the interests of her fellow students who would have to clean up the messes she made with her assassination attempts. Even after Korosensei told her that gunfire was not permitted during class time, Ritsu would endlessly attempt to assassinate him regardless of the occasion.
Once she was remodeled by Korosensei, she gained genuine emotion and thus, a more happy and cheerful personality. As a result, she learned the importance of teamwork and how to work with her other classmates. As such, she was willing to hide her new programming from her original creators out of gratitude.


Assassination Classroom

Terasaka has short and spiky brown hair that is dyed blond around the sides, light-colored eyes (light-green eyes in the anime) and he has a bulky body that he uses to intimidate people with.

Initially, Terasaka was a petty bully, passive-aggressive towards everything and anything related to school he used to bully higher achieving students into doing his own academic work for him in an attempt to assert dominance against those of a weaker build. Terasaka clearly had a brawn over brains approach to his problems and would often rely on intimidation (if not outright physical force) to get by in life while lazily forcing others to do his work for him while he vicariously achieved getting into a prestigious school through other's achievements. He seemed to have a good eye to see who was academically gifted as the first person he was shown to try and coerce at Kunugigaoka Junior High School was Natsuhiko Koyama , who would go on to be one of the Big Five . Ironically the grade and academic-oriented system made Terasaka unable to bully those whom he used to, as relying on others to do his work for him only placed further away from the academic success of the school and eventually forced him to submit to those of a higher grade-point average while he was forced to waste his life away in Class 3-E . Rather than try to improve his grades for the better, Terasaka fully embraced the bitter and depressing atmosphere and took even enjoying the circumstances of Class E being at the bottom of the academic barrel. It could be surmised and sense Terasaka held no hope for himself to improve his grades anyway he enjoyed being in a position where his grades were irrelevant and he could still utilize his brawny build and parasitic nature as a bully to achieve some degree of comfort; alternatively he was simply too lazy to try and study and enjoyed being able push his weight around in an environment where he wouldn't be hounded about his grades regardless. Terasaka was, in short, the very definition of the Main Campus's definition of a Class E student, a dimwitted problem child who solved his problems though uncivil methods and made use of factors that wouldn't get him far in life to try and get by in school while not trying to improve himself for the better.
Terasaka is the classroom delinquent and the person who took the longest to adjust to Korosensei being his new teacher; in what could possibly be a reactive attachment disorder towards his philosophy of doing nothing, sheer laziness and/or a refusal to even attempt at improving himself Terasaka desired to kill Korosensei, with the bounty and having enough money to live life on the easy street being a secondary motivation if at all, so that Class E would revert back to the drab and depressing place that it used to be where his laziness thrived and he could breeze by without committing to work. Much like how his bullying nature left him behind those that were smarter then him on the main campus however he soon found himself being left behind in the ever growing and changing Class E dynamic. Unable to adjust to his surroundings as fast as they were changing was a source of frustrations which only made him deny this change more and the result was that as Class E was moving more and more ahead in life with greater confidence and abilities Terasaka was only being left further and further behind because of his lack of desire or vision to change and improve. As noted by Shiro , Terasaka's refusal to follow the lead of Class E's improvement made him a useful asset as no one would find it odd if he pulled a stunt against Korosensei that would ultimately help Shiro with his assassination attempt. This fault would be told, very bluntly, by Itona Horibe right in Terasaka's face and he took it somewhat to heart repeating these words to Nagisa Shiota soon afterwards and made him even more committed to Shiro's plan to kill Korosensei.
Deep down, Terasaka seems to feel somewhat burdened by his inability to really adapt and change into his new environment: first from his bullying becoming obsolete and now becoming on the other side of the bullying by the very type of people that he used to bully for the reason that he used to bully them to his new, somewhat comfortable life in Class E being yanked from under his feet do to the requirements to kill their teacher and the newfound ambition in his fellow student's psyches in order to both escape from the destitution of the Class E life and pull themselves up to be better at school while he was both to lazy and felt unable to keep up academically which only furthered his frustrations to an eventual boiling point when his friends began to adapt and move ahead of him while he was the only one to remain solely behind. Terasaka blamed this on Korosensei as opposed to him not even trying to get better at school or what he does; in his mind the teacher trying to make them better people and teach them all that he can before the Earth is destroyed is the one at fault instead of him for not even making an attempt at school or in life. Although to be fair Korosensei was a ligitimate threat to the world as they knew it and Terasaka may not have liked that the people who were supposed to be killing him were instead becoming close to him and forming a bond. Once Terasaka did form a bond with him, he voted to kill Korosensei in order to preserve it showing that in the end he truly did value the bond that he had formed with Class E by the end of the year.
Despite this and everything else, Terasaka was not without a sense of what was right and wrong, if not something of a sense of empathy towards his classmates, if not as his classmates than as people. He was visibly mortified when he realized that by following Shiro's orders he had placed most of his class in danger and showed signs that his conscious had taken root by the gravity of the situation. Although Terasaka had long been in denial of the reality that he was in the realization of what he had allowed and helped in causing as well as Karma Akabane 's blunt exposure of Terasaka allowing himself to be strung along like a puppet had allowed to happen forced him to except what he had done and he quickly moved in to rectify his mistakes. This was an important distinction between Terasaka as it showed hints of compassion and remourse and most importantly the will to change. Ultimately, it would be this episode that would be the catalyst of Terasaka changing into a better person. The former bully who enjoyed picking on people and relies on others to make plans for him was no more, at least in part as he showed signs of finally turning over a new leaf.
After the incident with Shiro, Terasaka finally opts to change himself for the better and shows signs of trying to be a less lazy and more proactive person over all. One of the biggest and most noteworthy changes was his willpower; while initially a rather submissive and weak person towards those of a higher pay role and/or physical and mental strength like Shiro and Karma, Terasaka would exhibit a strength of will and character unlike any other in Class E. This was especially true when the rest of his classmates were poisoned and he withstood the same symptoms that had caused more than half of his class to be left incapacitated while he operated in good condition through sheer willpower born from the guilt of what had happened and a desire to improve himself and make it up to his friends and those he had victimized accidentally. Although it is worth noting that the poison in question had been switched with a non-lethal dose. He would begin to give encouraging advice to other characters when they need it most and has acknowledged Class E as a place full of amazing and capable people.
Terasaka would even emulate some of Korosensei's philosophies and the ability to connect to people. It would be Terasaka and his gang that would take Itona under their wing and ultimately help him realize that the power through the tentacles was the wrong way to achieve power and help him let go of it and allow Korosensei to remove the tentacles and save his life.
Terasaka's laziness is his greatest vice, the primary reason for him being in class E is because of his own slothful and parasitic approach to studying and school: getting someone else to do all of his work. Terasaka's lack of effort is the biggest flaw in his person and the main reason for his low grades as despite he has shown himself at least moderately intelligent despite constant quips at his brainpower; with a good grasp on factors and being able to come up with decently effective assassination ploys he demonstrated himself to be good at outside the box thinking and outsourcing for a unpredictable arsenal and was the only student to think of bringing in a foreign weapon (stun guns) to see if that would have any effect on Korosensei. He was able to turn a toy grenade into a working one by utilizing gunpowder and anti-sensei fiber for a rather effective suicidal bombing attack in the first chapter, and when serving as a double agent of Shiro was able to bypass a good chunk of Korosensei's usual defenses. In the Kunugigaoka finals, he scored 46th showing that his intelligence was merely underutilized as opposed to being a weakness as was often the butt of many jokes.
Although not as lazy as he once was one negative trait that Terasaka was never able to fully release was his short fuse, he would remain hotheaded and quite slow-witted during these moments when his temper was flared and would frequently swear, insult people and bang his fists when angry. Although his temper would lessen over the course of the series it was perhaps the one trait that he was never fully shown to conquer. However, Terasaka would ultimately become a much happier person the last year he spent in Class E.

He has dark slicked back hair and brown eyes and lightly tanned skin. And he doesn't exist.


Assassination Classroom

Chiba has black hair with long bangs that cover his eyes, which marks off part of his vision like a gun sight and the reason for his remarkable skill with firearms. Chiba has an intense gaze that made others uncomfortable, which is the reason for growing out his bangs. [1] In the anime, he has maroon-colored eyes.

Chiba is a serious, stoic and most calmest boy in Class 3-E who doesn't talk a lot. Like Rinka Hayami , he has been compared to a working adult and although the two are very similar, Chiba is less stoic and speaks even less than Hayami.
On the other hand, Chiba is shown to notice the small details of people around him. An example of this trait is when he notices Karma Akabane being glum over his fallen grades and cheers him up by prompting him to insult Korosensei about the Home Economics scores. [2]


Assassination Classroom

Sakura has short pink hair cut above her shoulders and pointed dark blue eyes rimmed with notable eyelashes.

At first, Sakura is very hostile towards Class 3-E and frequently attempts to harass them; this behavior stemmed from the fact that she was bullied herself.
Once Nagisa Shiota reassured her, she eventually warmed up to Class 3-E and she has developed a crush on Nagisa.

Sengoku is a large man with a plump frame and black hair. He has a large mouth, which he frequently leaves his tongue out of when he feels he has the upper hand.

Sengoku is a lecherous and sleazy individual, as he wanted Azusa to let him assault her as a twisted form of payment. When confident, he often sticks his tongue out.


Assassination Classroom

Smog is a round-faced man with black hair, thick eyebrows, and narrow eyes. He has a big, flat nose, and, due to working with poisons, he commonly wears a mask over his face to protect himself from the poisons.

Smog has a very meticulous nature, which leads to his tendency to create all his poisons and diseases himself in his specially outfitted lab. He is also a caring man, providing aftercare to those who he has poisoned or infected but not killed on a job and refusing to use the real virus on the students after finding out that Takaoka never intended to the give them the antidote in the first place.

Hara has brown hair that is usually worn in a ponytail, small brown eyes and she possesses a chubby figure.

Hara is one of the most passive members of the class where she frequently acts as support in assassination attempts with her ability to assess the situation and herself. [1] She is usually regarded as a motherly figure due to her ability to cook and care for the class. She has shown offense when people call her heavy as shown in Episode 14 when she got mad at Ryoma Terasaka for calling her heavy (he meant she was hanging on the tree branch and was so heavy that the branch couldn't support her and she would fall).


Assassination Classroom

Karasuma is a handsome young man with spiky black hair and eyebrows and piercing dark eyes. He has a tall and muscular build. He dresses professionally in a black business suit with a white shirt and a black tie. He is described as being "cool" by his students.

Karasuma is a strict but kind man, though he keeps a distance between himself and the students due to his status as an agent and his own professionalism. He is also extremely dense when it comes to love, but isn't so oblivious that he eventually doesn't figure it out. Even though he comes off as distant, he's not completely devoid of emotion and seems to be able to express happiness very rarely, most notably, during violent situations.

Okajima has short, black hair in a butch cut and thicker brows compared to other students.
Seven years after graduation, he is seen with slightly longer hair.

Okajima is the class pervert and is rather open about it. As with Rio Nakamura , Okajima is known to like peeping. He likes to read erotica magazines and even claimed to be a brother of Korosensei and Itona Horibe for doing so.

Assassination Classroom

Contradictory to his name, the Reaper has a somewhat innocent looking and friendly smile. While disguised as a florist, he has silver hair, amber eyes, and is always seen with his cap. When working as an assassin, he wears black clothing. In truth, the Reaper has a skinless, skull-like visage after intentionally cutting off his own face. He is also apparently able to use his bloodlust to give himself a black specter-like appearance.
During the final arc, after being augmented with a stronger version of the Antimatter Tentacles from Shiro, the Reaper takes on the appearance of a large and colossal tentacle monster shaped much like Korosensei 's first tentacle form, albeit with darker colors. As such, dark-colored tentacles replace all of his limbs; his arms are now shaped identically like Korosensei's and numerous tentacles protrude from his head as well as from the bottom of his torso to replace his legs.

As one of the world's best assassins, the Reaper is ruthless and cunning, and is willing to use any means, no matter how amoral, in order to attain his goals.
The Reaper acts with a complete lack of morality and concern for others. He views the children of Class 3-E as nothing more than obstacles, and was willing to drown them as part of his assassination attempt on Korosensei . His ruthless demeanor remained intact when he augmented himself with tentacles as shown when he impaled Kaede Kayano without a second thought.
Like his former master, he sports a very amicable smile and is easily perceived to be a kind, harmless person. During the time when the Reaper threatened to cut up Irina in front of the class, his passive demeanor made the class unable to feel any sense of fear (something Karma actually dreaded).
Later chapters would reveal that the Reaper was once a person who admired his master immensely and worked tirelessly to be recognized by his idol. His personality changed once he realized he was nothing more than a tool to him, and thus betrayed his master. However, his wish for his master's acknowledgement still lingered even when he was given tentacles by Shiro and right before his death.

In an attempt to impress Brianna before she goes on a space mission, he rewires part of the rocket's system to project congratulatory flowers and dancing chibi versions of himself. This unfortunately triggers the rocket's auto-pilot and disables the guidance system. Astro is able to chip in help in time, and Anton comes out of it with a hope to further refine his inventions.


Astro Boy

Tezuka was a lifelong fan of Disney and he drew many of his early characters with the overall style in mind. Astro, of course, was one of said characters with the simplistic 'cartoony' designs akin to the producer's works. An example of this would be the two spikes on his head going in alternating directions that don't change, regardless of any camera angle, similarly to the ears of Disney's most popular character, Mickey Mouse.
One of Astro's most defining features are his eyes, especially in the anime series due to the use of limited animation. His eyes were designed to be fully reactive to light and feel dynamic. This would become a very common design aspect in anime and manga characters that would follow. The use of the eyes in this manner allowed the facial expressions to use less animation yet seem more real.
Additionally, he has a simplistic set of eyelashes, drawn as 5 short lines coming out of his eyelids. In some iterations, they tends to alternate between the simple and more realistic-looking lashes.

Astro was created in the image of Tobio Tenma therefore he inherited his basic personality traits. Due to Tobio being a child when he died, Astro has inherited his same childlike innocence including his childlike naivety, Astro by nature has a strong sense of justice and for deciding what is right and wrong. Mostly a pacifist, Astro will not stray from using force if he has no choice, although he always tries to solve situations diplomatically. Astro is incredibly protective of family and friends and will often risk his own life to protect them from harm.
Astro is selfless, brave and kindhearted. He has a deep love for humanity, in spite of the many hardships he may face. At the end of both the 1960s anime series and Astro Boy: Omega Factor , he willingly sacrificed himself in order to save humanity from certain doom (although in the latter, he was brought back to life).
Astro's most complicated relationship is with his own creator Umataro Tenma. Although, he was treated with love and care by Tenma in the beginning, the grief left over after the death of his son Tobio took control causing Tenma to accept that a robot could not be an adequate replacement for his flesh and blood human child. Due to this realization, Tenma slowly begins to lose his sanity and in some adaptations resorts to drinking, he begins to treat Astro poorly and even becomes outright hostile towards him leaving him stuck in dangerous situations. In most adaptations Astro is eventually sold to Hamegg's Robot Circus by Tenma and although Tenma feels legitimate remorse for his actions, fails to reconnect with Astro who mostly tries to avoid him however, in some instances tries to forgive him which results in Ochanomizu typically going out of his way to stop such a reunion.


Astro Boy

Astro II has the same appearance as the original Astro: his hair is black and metallic, with two sharp spikes. He predominantly wears a green belt, black shorts, and red boots. However, he carries himself much more sloppily and laidback than the original Astro.


Astro Boy

In his first appearance, Atlas has a simple, streamlined body without much detail. He resembled a young teenage boy, relatively close to Astro's age. On his head are several black pistons that resemble bantu knots, a Black hairstyle that originated in Zulu. [2] Much like Astro he is capable of flight, but the means that he does so differ between adaptations. In the manga, Atlas has a small jet turbine mounted on his lower back, which allows him to fly through the air, and also use as a defensive weapon similar to Astro's rear-mounted machine guns. In the 1963 anime series however, this jet turbine is absent, and he instead possesses a pair of retractable jets on the sides of his neck.


Astro Boy

Bacon Egg is a tall, gangly, skinny middle-aged man. He has slick black hair that curls at the back of his neck, and a curled mustache. In the arena, he wears a white tuxedo with pink accents, a matching top hat, and pointed black sunglasses.
Bacon Egg also strongly resembles how Hamegg looks in many regular Astro Boy series. Given that Bacon is his father, this implies Hamegg's looks are at least partially hereditary.

In the arena, Bacon has a bold and captivating stage persona. He is able to keep up with the moment-by-moment action of the robot tournaments, giving his audience constant commentary.
His thoughts on AI robots are mixed. He has empathy for some of the more humanized robots, such as U-Ran, but enjoys general robot violence. Bacon sees the carnage as something that's necessary to entertain an audience. However, after being rescued by North, Bacon seems to have a very slight change of heart.


Astro Boy

Astro Boy

Bem is an androgynous humanoid robot made on a planet named Nicoro. They appear slightly older than Astro, and were designed to look similar to the cherubim of Renaissance Era art . They have fluffy blonde hair, which is moulded with slicked-back bangs and two long, feathered wings. These wings also allow Bem to fly, and they have been mistaken for an angel while flying through the air. In their original manga appearance, Bem is completely nude, and visibly lacks any secondary sex characteristics. In the 1963 anime, however, they wear a white undergarment similar Astro's shorts.

Bem disguised as a human girl
Bem's body was adapted from a female android body, giving them an overall feminine appearance. Their body is plain and streamlined; it has a particular shine that gives Bem the illusion as if they are glittering or glowing.
In the 2001 Kyoto Anime Theatre short [1] , Bem is much more humanlike in appearance. They wear a metallic grey jumpsuit with heavy shoulders and red stripe details. Bem's hair is flexible: if Bem is happy, the sides of their hair point upwards. If upset, Bem's hair relaxes, resembling a pageboy cut. Much like their manga and 1963 anime self, Bem's hair can then extend in length when they need to fly.
In the series Go Astro Boy Go! , Bem is reimagined as a male robot named "Cosmo Boy". Cosmo Boy retains the characteristic wing-like hair of his previous incarnations, but it is now white rather than gold or blonde, and he has yellow eyes. He also wears yellow elbow-length gloves, white knee-length boxers, and yellow boots that resemble Astro's.

As a newly-made robot, Bem is naive, and they can be stubborn and emotional. However, they are benevolent and kind by nature. Bem was especially horrified to learn about their hidden power, which caused them to flee Nicoro in hopes of avoiding an explosive death. Unfortunately, Bem does not fully understand how their powers work yet.
Bem is also very fond of Astro. Since Astro was the first person to treat Bem as an equal and not a weapon, they come to trust him almost immediately. When Astro attempts to contain Bem, they do not hesitate to fight back, but soon regret hurting their first friend.


Astro Boy

Black Jack is a tall Japanese man somewhere in his late 20s to mid-30s. He has scruffy hair that is mostly black, save for a large patch that has prematurely greyed. His body is covered with dozens of large scars; these come from from the lifesaving reconstructive surgery he received as a child from Dr. Honma. Black Jack dresses in heavy formal clothing much of the time, even wearing ascots and vests while resting at home. He leans into his notoriety as an unlicensed doctor, dressing in black and driving black cars, and has an imposing, gothic overall appearance.
In some older art, Black Jack's skin patch is coloured blue. This is a case similar to Skunk Kusai , who sometimes appears with blue skin so as to make him look more striking and haunting. Canonically, Black Jack's face patch is brown, and comes from a skin donation he received as a child. A large patch of skin had to be replaced on Kuroo's face after the land mine accident, and his Afro-Japanese friend Takashi volunteered for a skin donation. In the years since, Black Jack has never attempted to have the skin replaced out of respect for his childhood friend's kindness.

Black Jack is smug but charismatic. He is as stubborn as he is gifted, which is exactly what cost him his medical license: when he was in medical school, Black Jack's classmate and lover Kei Kisaragi (formerly Megumi) was diagnosed with late stage ovarian cancer. Their superiors claimed Kisaragi's cancer was too far gone to operate on, but Black Jack, confident that he could save Kisaragi, defied their orders and operated on him anyway. Kisaragi's life was saved, but Black Jack's medical license was immediately revoked. Regardless, he continued to hone his craft as a doctor.
Black Jack's outward ego and image are a cover-up for years of childhood trauma. Born as Kuroo Hazama, he was a normal child until he and his mother Mio went to a beach, where they stepped on an abandoned, undetonated IED land mine. Mio was killed while Kuroo needed intense full-body surgery, and instead of supporting the family, Kuroo's father Kagemitsu instead chose to abandon them and remarry. Throughout the series, Black Jack tries to deal with his resentment towards his father and step family.
The only person who can get under Black Jack's skin almost as badly as his father is Dr. Kiriko . The two have starkly opposing views on life and death, and have competed to save vs. euthanize a patient. Elsewhere, Black Jack is fiercely loyal to those he lets close to him, such as Pinoko and his mentor Dr. Honma . Honma was also the one who reconstructed and rehabilitated Black Jack after his childhood accident.


Astro Boy

The Blue Knight is a bipedal humanoid robot. He is especially tall and strong in stature, standing taller than even some of the tallest humans in Astro's world. He is covered in thick blue metal plating that resembles armor, and has a slick, close-fitting helmet with wide wings on either side, similar to ancient Roman winged helmets . One of the few organic pieces of his outfit is his long fabric cloak.
As a civilian, Blue Bon has short, dark blue hair with thick bangs and sideburns. He is tall and bulky, resembling a brawny human man in his late 20s. Blue Bon is not as tall as his Blue Knight self, implying his armour makes him look stronger and taller, or that he has made alterations to his robot body after becoming the Blue Knight.

Blue Knight is prejudice towards all humans due to his past experience with them, refusing to communicate or listen to anyone and is hostile towards those that have harmed other robots. He also feels no remorse if humans are killed in his attacks nor does he hesitate to destroy other robots who oppose him including. Despite his views, he is not heartless, and was willing to work with Astro Boy to save humans on multiple occasions, though usually only if fellow robots were in peril as well.

Blues works under Skunk, and alongside Jazz as a partner. He can most often be seen working alongside Jazz, and the two communicate like good friends and equals.
Blues is the largest member of Skunk's gang, and also the one who speaks the least. He only adds remarks alongside his cohorts or asks questions when he finds it necessary. He is the most passive member of the group, usually letting Skunk or Jazz take the lead in schemes and following along to help. In Jumbo Revived , he is visibly nervous about piloting Jumbo against the heavily-armed police, hinting that he is more used to low key underground crime. He tolerated Denkou , but was openly irritated upon finding out they had talked to Astro.

Blues afraid in Jumbo's control centre

His main role among Skunk's group is as backup muscle, occasionally working with computers and driving their vehicles. In Old Dog, New Tricks , his pockets are emptied by a super magnet, and it is revealed that Blues carries a pocket knife for close range self-defense.


Astro Boy

Brianna is a highly skilled and intelligent student at the space academy. She can come off as an airhead, but that is only because she is almost always thinking hard about her studies. She aspires to one day be an astronaut and engineer.

Brianna, unaware of Astro's love-induced system overload
In the original Japanese version, Brianna finds Astro adorable and treats him like a little brother, but still maintains a polite and formal tone with him. However, in the English dub, she is strangely changed to be more coy, with some of her lines altered to seem like she is flirting with Astro.


Astro Boy

Burg's eyes usually look sharp and narrowed, with prominent bags under his eyes. He has a weak left eye and needs a monocle to see. He is relatively tall and well-built, standing about a foot taller than Professor Ochanomizu .

While Count Burg puts on a calm, classy demeanour, it is all a cover for his cruel personality. Dr. Ross and his children first meet the "gentle" Burg who comes to ask for Maria 's hand in marriage. He is charismatic enough to convince the whole family that he is a good man, to the point where Dr. Ross is in disbelief when Maria tells him about Burg's true nature.
In reality, Count Burg is a cruel, ruthless braggart. He has immense disposable wealth and military ties. When describing his resources, Burg claims to own "eight castles, nine mountains, and three resorts"; in Japanese, this combination of numbers can be read as "ya + ku + za" (八 + 九 + 三), as in yakuza , the infamous Japanese crime syndicates. Burg will hurt as many people and robots as it takes to get his way.
It is unclear if Burg genuinely loves Maria. He finds her beautiful and recognizes her as his wife, even after Maria has been amalgamated into Blue Bon's body. However, this does not stop him from killing the siblings with Blue Knight's own spear.


Astro Boy

Chiitan is roughly the size of a human infant. He is built with similar features as his siblings, specifically pointed black hair: he has one point on the back of his head. Chiitan is still learning to walk, and so he crawls much like a human baby. He wears onesie suits with long thick sleeves.
An adaptation of Chiitan appears in Jetter Mars as the titular character's brother, Melchi.

Chiitan was created to be a comic relief character, giving Cobalt a break from being the comic relief in so many stories. Chiitan has a tendency to be rambunctious for a baby, and can act fierce if he doesn't get his way. He has some super strength, and is able to cry at extremely high volumes. At times, his bawling is loud enough to shatter glass and cause tremors.


Astro Boy

Cobalt bears a strong resemblance to his younger brother, Astro. He has black, pointed hair and dresses in very minimal clothing, wearing red knee-high boots, shiny black athletic shorts, and a green belt.

Cora is spunky and resourceful. As the oldest among Hamegg's children, she is the surrogate older sister of the kids, and looks out for them. She tends to act as the makeshift leader when the children go out searching for robot parts.
Cora has some trust issues, stemming from her past as a runaway. She is hurt when she finds out Astro lied about being a robot boy, but soon forgives him after understanding he's still a child close to her own age. Cora was not intended by the film's director to be Astro's romantic interest, but rather, a "foil character" [2] and best friend.


Astro Boy

Lord Deadcross is a tall, imposing human man who appears to be somewhere in his 40s. At all times, he is dressed in full military regalia. He wears a Roman-style galea helmet with a long crest made of white fur. His face is mostly obscured, leaving only his mouth, chin, and some of his nose exposed. In many series, this is not Deadcross's true face; he wears heavy prosthetics and heeled boots to disguise his strong resemblance to Rag.
In the 1980 series, Deadcross's uniform and helmet are slightly altered. The sides of his helmet taper down to the back of his neck, and he wears a long coatee tunic. This gives him a strong resemblance to Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam . The character and anime originally debuted in 1979, and were tremendously popular around the time of the 1980 anime's release.

Lord Deadcross is cruel and vengeful. He considers himself superior to most others, and will stop at nothing to get his way. Despite his bravado, Deadcross is secretly a disorganized and immature politician. He is Rag's true creator, but Deadcross only intended for Rag to be a tool in handling Deadcross's work duties. He sees Rag's success as a personal insult and a callout to his own shortcomings.


Astro Boy

Delta is a bipedal humanoid robot. He is especially tall and strong in stature, built as a typical strongman-style utility robot. He is covered in armour that also serves as his regular uniform: a blue jacket with wide shoulderpads, white bodysuit, navy blue boots, and gret utility belt and detailing.
Delta's face is angular and humanoid, made of grey metals, and mounted securely to his neck. His eyes are yellow signal lights; they can either light up when needed, or scan and analyze his surroundings.

Delta is a true lawful good. He is stern and serious, having been designed to follow the law at all times, but he is still quite compassionate. When Astro first meets Delta, he is surprised to hear how strongly Delta believes only his squad is qualified to fight robot crime. Delta also immediately shoots down Astro's attempts to help them. This turns out to be because of Delta's instincts to follow the police rules, as well because of his pride as the squad leader.
Inspector Tawashi regularly works alongside Delta in the series. Delta regards Tawashi as his ally and colleague, but dislikes Tawashi's occasional derogatory remarks about robots.


Astro Boy

Denkou has the appearance and personality of a very young androgynous child, with fluffy bright green hair and a green caped jumpsuit.

He is notably short, being only about as tall as Uran . He is balding, with one notably long, curly hair on the top of his head. Sometimes, if he is meant to be an especially mad scientist, the hair along the sides of his head will be scruffy and unkempt.
In spite of Fooler's juvenile appearance, he is always dressed professionally. He usually dresses in formal attire, such as three-piece suits and cravats, and in bright white lab coats. He will often use large canes and walking sticks that are taller than him.

Dr. Fooler is Tezuka's least threatening villain by design [1] . As bombastic as he is, Fooler seems completely unaware of his stature and appearance. He is very confident, very self-assured, and his own worst enemy because of it.

Astro Boy

Frankenstein generally resembles a streamlined robotic version of Dr. Frankenstein's monster. He is tall, barrel-chested, and clad in dark full-body clothing, with two bolts on either side of his face. Frankenstein is crafted with a stoic, serious face; this gives him an intimidating appearance, despite how he is a brand new, impressionable robot.

Astro Boy

Osamu Tezuka was inspired to create Hamegg from two sources, one being the villain of Milt Gross's He Done Her Wrong , and the Hungarian-German actor Peter Lorre. Hamegg has a very distinct round face, based on Lorre's, and a wide toothy grin, based on Gross's villain.
Most often, Hamegg is depicted as a lanky man in his 30s-40s, with a mustache and slicked-back black hair. On rare occasion he has been depicted with differently-coloured hair (dark green, Metropolis ) or even as a different ethnicity ( Jetter Mars ).

Hamegg can be best described as shady and slimy. He is often scheming, or helping others pursue their schemes. His most well-known Star System roles are as a crooked circus owner or as a mob henchman. Hamegg is generally motivated towards crime by a love of money and power. Despite this, he is also cowardly and easily frightened. He may be comfortable pushing Astro around, but has been intimidated by Dr. Ochanomizu and Skunk .
He often appears as a criminal alongside Lamp , Marukabi Boon , and Skunk , but Hamegg is the most meek and skittish out of the group.

Astro Boy

Osamu Tezuka modelled Heck after American actor Tom Tyler, specifically his role as Luke Plummer in the film Stagecoach (1939). Heck has a long, narrow face and a heavy brow line, which has made him appear typecast as a villain. [3] He has striking blue eyes and is usually blonde.
He is not to be confused with Biwamaru , a different Star System character. These two have similar-shaped faces, but Biwamaru is much older and partially blind.


Astro Boy

Higeoyaji has a simple but iconic design: he is a short, portly middle-aged man, balding with a thick white mustache. This mustache is particularly the source of his nickname. Usually, Higeoyaji dresses in business casual style, such as sport coats and ties. He is said to speak with a Kansai accent .
During the "Once Upon a Time" manga arc, Astro meets Higeoyaji several decades in the past, when he was a very young man and just starting out as a teacher. He is still short and stocky, but now without a mustache, and black hair with jagged bangs.
In Atom: The Beginning , Higeoyaji appears as a teenaged version of himself, but now skinny and with a full head of brown hair. His uncle Kensaku Ban bears a strong resemblance to the adult Shunsaku Ban in other canons, implying A:TB Shunsaku will grow up to look just like him.

Shunsaku Ban is boisterous, opinionated, and outspoken. This is intimidating for many, but he's a fantastic ally for Astro . Like Professor Ochanomizu , Ban is a strong supporter of robot rights, and gladly invites Astro into his classroom. He is generally devoted to justice and protecting others' civil rights. If he catches someone attempting to wreak havoc or hurt someone else, Ban will not hesitate to come at them, fists swinging.
However, Ban's short temper doesn't always work in his favour. He tends to overreact or jump to conclusions very easily. He also has a bad habit of speaking too harshly.
His opinion on robots tends to vary in some adaptations. In most incarnations, he is depicted to be very openly supportive of robots having human rights, and warmly allows Astro to be a part of his class. In the 2003 anime however, he is initially portrayed as having a distrust for robots in general, but quickly warms up to them after Astro helps him solve a case.


Astro Boy

Jake's eyes are basic LED screens with round black irises, resembling the "pie-eyed" designs of 1930s cartoons . Within the iris is a line indicator that changes angle according to his mood. At the base of his neck are two rectangular sensors that resemble a butler's bow tie. Jake's mouth is a slim line that will light up on each word he says.

Jake is soft-spoken and kind. He keeps to himself, usually focusing on his work, and is very good at his duties. He fears General Red but enjoys Hannah's company, and likes to teach Hannah how to care for the flora and fauna of the estate's garden.
