Only Yesterday

When first introduced, No-Face appeared in a semi-transparent state while shifting in and out of visibility. His organs are visible, pulsating in several states. His figure resembles that of a long, black tube. While it is unknown if No-Face has a physical body, it is shown that he can develop arms and legs with the capability of leaving footprints as he walks. An ominous, expressionless mask with grey-violet highlights is painted on his "head" of sorts, and while there is a "mouth" painted on the mask, No-Face has shown that his real, expertly-hidden mouth is larger than the one present on his mask.

No-Face is a lonely spirit who begins to follow Chihiro Ogino after having developed an interest in her sincerity. His vocabulary consisted of grunts and moans as opposed to coherent words. Not knowing much about the Bathhouse or about other spirits in general, No-Face learned by example and adapted to his surroundings.
Exposed to the corruptive thoughts and greed of the workers, he quickly grew to encompass their personalities, hoping that his endeavor to be like those around Chihiro would eventually garner her affection for him. While this ultimately brought upon the opposite effect, Chihiro was somewhat true to No-Face after she invited him and accepted help from him.
No-Face becomes obsessed with Chihiro, and wants to see her and her only. He becomes extremely volatile after being fed the River Spirit 's emetic dumpling by Chihiro, and while fleeing from the obviously now-hostile spirit, Chihiro calls out to him twice to follow her. She accepts him as a co-journeyer into the train ride on her way to Swamp Bottom after he calms down and is out of the Bathhouse. At this stage, No-Face is no longer aggressive and is quite docile, even obeying Chihiro's orders, like "sit" and "behave yourself."
As a monstrous, out-of-control being, No-Face exhibits all the negative traits of those he had swallowed (most significantly, Aogaeru ), becoming a brash, arrogant, loud, and selfish creature whose obsession with Chihiro proved troubling for everyone around it.
Towards the end of the film, No-Face meets with Zeniba , another witch who works alone, in contrast to Yubaba , who runs her bathhouse with a complex hierarchy. Perhaps attempting to match the rules of the new tiny society, No-Face starts spinning and knitting and appears proficient in the job. Happy with his new environment, he accepts Zeniba's proposal to stay with her as an apprentice.

Aniyaku has small, black eyebrows and a mustache. He resembles a Charlie Chaplin, Adolf Hitler, like Chichiyaku and the other bathhouse employees.


Only Yesterday

Lupin is tall and skinny with neatly styled short black hair that never falls out of place, and large black eyes. Despite the fact that he's older than he is in the series, he has the same boyish appearance as before. He wears the outfit he wore in the first anime: a green jacket, a black shirt and pants and a yellow tie.

Unlike his sociopathic manga counterpart, Lupin is a mischievous but easy-going gentleman thief, with particular emphasis on the "gentleman". While he steals, he mainly does it for the thrill of it, and just to prove he can. While he can be intimidating, he has a warm and friendly side to him. In The Castle of Cagliostro , he's older, wiser, and regrets his actions of his past, seeing his young self as a "punk" and a "greenhorn".
His chivalry is a quality that carries over from the anime; he has a weakness for a pretty girl in distress. But while he's a self-admitted womanizer, he views Clarisse as the same little girl he knew years ago.
He can be a little accident-prone and has a tendency to say "Ay-yi-yi" whenever things go wrong.
He can be incredibly stubborn. When he's recuperating from his wounds, he literally bites off more than he can chew and ends up nearly sick from indigestion.


Only Yesterday

In the film, Chichiyaku has orange eyes, salmon-orange skin, and a small, reddish-orange mustache. Like many of the bathhouse workers, he resembles a frog.

In the film Chichiyaku seems at times selfish, but with the help of Chihiro by the end of the film he appears to have more humility. Among many of the other spirits, he first treats Chihiro Ogino with discontent due to her being a human, but gradually comes to accept and even cheer for her as she helps the River Spirit and saves the Bathhouse from No-Face .

Jiji is a black cat with large white eyes and black pupils. The insides of his ears are iris purple.
As a witch familiar, he has a much longer lifespan than normal cats.

In the American version, Jiji is a chatty and sarcastic cat that likes to act proud whilst in the Japanese version, Jiji is a cautious and humble, and is always ready to help Kiki.
The character of Jiji is significantly different in the American dub. In the Japanese version, Jiji is voiced by the female performer Rei Sakuma , while in the American version Jiji is performed by Phil Hartman , and also has more of a wisecracking demeanor.
In Japanese culture, cats are usually depicted with feminine voices, whereas in American culture, their voices are more gender-specific. A number of Hartman's lines exist where Jiji simply says nothing in the original (such as in the scene where Jiji approaches Lily along the top of the wall). Jiji's personality is notably different between the two versions, showing a more cynical and sarcastic attitude in the 1998 English version, as opposed to cautious and conscience-like in the original Japanese.

She is often willing to help those in need, such as when Ai Narata 's ticket is blown into a tree, and when she helps out Ai's stalker. Sarasa is also shown to lack tact, as she refers to the stalker by whatever self-depricating names he gives himself.

However has an adoration for heroes that she keeps secret from the public and her family as well as exibitionist and masochistic tendencies hidden underneath the image of a perfect lady and her family tradition concerning twintails has strained her relations with the hairstyle as she blamed her twintails for being always treated like a pet or a child by her entourage, initially making it difficult for her to use Tail Yellow until Soji awakened her buried love for twintails along with her exihbitionist and masochistic natures.

While in Tail Red form, Soji does have moments where she (he) behaves like a young girl would, although she still uses masculine honorifics such as 'ore', a very masculine way of saying 'I' in Japanese. She is also perpetually taunted at by her enemies for being a "little girl". This can sometimes have an effect on Tail Red's confidence in battle. Furthermore, Soji does not seem pleased with the fact that Tail Red was getting extremely famous, as he considers it embarrassing.

Aika is a 157 cm (5'1") girl with thigh-length dark blue hair that is styled into twin-tails with two white ribbons on either side and red eyes.
In the 16th volume, Aika is transformed into a little girl similar to Tail Red.

Aika has the personality of a normal high school student and she is by far the most down-to-earth member of the main cast as she is often finding herself speechless before the ridiculous antics happening around her and takes more time than anyone in the Twintail Club to accept the supernatural elements appearing in her world, leading her to become the 'straight man' of the group.
She is also pretty abrasive when she feels that her position with Sōji Mitsuka is threatened when Thouars is doing something 'stupid' (sometimes both at the same time) or provoking her for her flat-chest in both civilian and tail forms, resorting to violence and threats against the perpetrator.
She harbors feelings for Sōji and often displays this in a tsundere fashion. When she was hypnotized she even had an erotic vision of being in bed with him. She is often prone to jealousy when he interacts with other girls and was even downhearted learning Sōji got engaged.

Himawari is fairly hyperkinetic and is shown to be a physically affectionate person mostly to Joro as she greets him by slapping his back or even tackling him, much to his annoyance. When asking for a favor she can be rather clingy, something that has aroused Joro in many occasions. After Sun 's plot was revealed, Himawari was extremely apologetic toward Joro and wanted to stay out of his way to avoid causing more trouble. She was overjoyed when Joro reconciled with her. She does try to help joro in many situations but often unintentionally annoys or hurts him. However it seems that she isn't good at reading his emotions which causes confusion between the two.

Tsubaki is a kind and helpful person who is charismatic and confident when speaking and she is very professional in her work and takes it seriously.
After meeting Joro , she was stunned at how far he was willing to go to help his friend, Sun. By coincidence, she transferred into his class, and she decided she would help him embrace his role as a main character rather than letting his inferiority complex control him. [1]
She is not infatuated with Joro, although she does get flustered when Joro compliments her, and (platonically) swears her eternal devotion to him by kissing his hand.

Pansy without her glasses and braids.

Pansy presents herself as an authentic and common person yet an individual with strong charisma and observation. From her perspectives and experiences, she shows herself to be a well-mannered smooth-talker with good advice and a level head, as well as a lovable beauty queen. She appears as a strong person with powerful enthusiasm, but she does show fear at the thought of being with her stalkers.
She is polite to her peers at school, only turning a sharp tongue at Joro . After she makes friends with Himawari , Cosmos and Sun , she shows that she is very kind and considerate to people close to her.
Pansy was pushed into dating Hose in middle school, and she moved away to get away from him, as well as vowed to never keep her true feelings hidden and clash with them head-on once she’s become a high schooler (which trouble Joro the most).

Sun is a sporty boy who like to joke around with people, especially his friends, Joro and Himawari. He is a good leader, as shown after the baseball team's defeat when Sun put the blame on himself in an effort to reassure the other players, only to break down crying later in private.
Although normally a friendly, warm and sociable person he has a darker side to his personality, one that is grudgeful, petty, manipulative and prideful. Hurt over a girl he crushed over that in turn loved Joro instead, he devised a plan to ruin Joro's social reputation, by secretly pulling Himawari and Cosmos' strings all just to put Joro's name in the mud, to feel superior. He was further motivated to do so when he suspected than Pansy was in love with Joro, and followed with the plan purely out of spite. His darker emotions reached their peak when he allegedly threatened to assault Pansy. [1]
Ultimately he apologized for his behaviour and felt legitimately remorseful for his actions, doing his best to repent and reform when his friends told him they wanted to make up, something he truly desired to do as he felt the importance of what he had lost. Since amending his relationship with his friends he is back to his cheerful self and is shown to be more supportive and involved with them.

Hose looks very similar to Joro in terms of face, hair and body shape. He appears to have shinier hair and a slightly deeper voice than Joro. He is also slightly taller than Joro.

Hose, like Joro, has two distinct personalities, a Nice Guy facade and his True Self. Hose has perfected his personalities to a higher quality than Joro.
Hose's Nice Guy facade is the face he puts on in public. In this form, he is technically perfect in every way, with exceptional manners and a blinding smile. His act is so convincing he has even fooled Pansy into believing he is truly a nice guy. Hose can use this Nice Guy persona to get away with virtually anything, since he always does things in a way where he cannot be framed as the bad guy.
Hose's True Self is a manipulative and cunning schemer. While his Nice Guy persona acts as if his disregard for other people's feelings is accidental, the truth is that Hose simply does not care about other people. He is possessive and sees Pansy as his property. While Hose's Nice Guy facade is extremely well-polished, he is prone to letting his True Self show when he is angry.

Her friends often call her 'chihuahua' ( Chiwawa ), due to her petite stature and two ponytails that resemble puppy's ears.

Chiwa is a friendly, boisterous and playful girl who is quite possessive of her childhood friend Eita Kidou and becomes incredibly jealous whenever Masuzu Natsukawa gets close to him.
At the start of high school, Chiwa initially wants to be popular with the male students and tries to stand out. However, she eventually realizes that she truly only wants Eita, leading to a breakdown, and she gives up trying to impress others.
Chiwa is extremely fond of meat of all varieties and it is her favorite food.


Eita has brown hair that has bangs swept to the right and brown eyes.

Eita is a bookworm as he studies every day and he hopes to get into medical school after graduating from high school.

He excels academically, always placing at the top of the class during term exams. He has developed a strong distaste for romance. This disdain for love and romance developed due to his parents' divorce, leaving him alone to take care of himself.

She is mostly seen wearing her school uniform, but outside of school, she is seen wearing more casual clothing such as sundresses.

To those that don't know her personally, Masuzu is a quiet and reserved girl. In school, she actively avoids talking to most people, preferring to stare out the classroom window from her desk. She is brutally honest with her beliefs almost to the point of being cold. Due to her beautiful and elegant appearance, she is often lusted after by many of her male classmates, though she turns down their confessions every time. At the start of the series, she was confessed to 58 times in 2 months.
Just like Eita Kidou , Masuzu hates romance. She often mocks others that desire to be relationships as people with "love on the mind". In order to avoid being asked out by her classmates, she blackmails Eita using his personal diary into be her fake boyfriend.
It is later revealed that Masuzu has been putting up an act in regards to her stance of love. As a result of having to act the "perfect child" for her father during her youth, she develops a sort of identity crisis, often having trouble expressing her true feelings and emotions to other people. This is evidenced by her interactions with Kidou as by later in the series she has clearly developed feelings for him, but continues to deny them or make excuses for whenever she shows acts of affection.


Miharu has long light brown hair along with a curly ahoge and orange eyes. She is mostly seen wearing her school uniform of a white collared short-sleeved shirt with a tie under a light brown colored vest with a pocket on the left chest and a black plaid skirt.

He became a laughing stock of his school when someone took a photo of the rejection. He stopped going to school because of this. Keita later blamed it on Miharu for telling him it was her idea to confess. He moved to another university and won't meet with Miharu which depressed her. This angered Miharu to the point that she seeks revenge on to Masuzu by trying to steal Eita away from him.


Saeko has brown hair that goes slightly below her shoulders. She keeps her hair in a low ponytail style with a hair band. She also has a yellow clip that keeps part of her bangs aside and has brown eyes.

Later, when Musashi and Michiru are suspected to be involved with the enemy, the Shimazu squad is left behind until Musashi's involvement is cleared, so is soon cleared as the enemy bushi attack and Musashi is revealed to be the Obsidian Goddess.
Later, Kuroko forms a plan and sends the Shimazu to assist Musashi and destroy the Yura Mine. As the Shimazu arrive, they see an oni protecting it and link up to destroy it. Shiro shows up, but so do Naotora and he defeats Shiro. As part of their next mission, they need to find and defeat the third enemy Bushi, however, Akihiro wishes that they destroy one of the Kishin's horn. Proceeding, they team up with other Bushi and see Yataro, who then states he merged with the Kishin and turns into an oni.

Haruhisa then decides to go and save him. He enters Orochi and finds Akihiro knocked out and protects him. As he wakes up, he gives him the wooden piece. Akihiro then explains that he ordered them to stay there to be safe. As a red blade, he has the duty to cut the horn, which doesn't allow him to go and save his allies. If he isn't there to cut the horn, the oni survives and all the offers are wasted. Akihiro is torn up that he can't protect his allies and do his duties at the same time. With Haruhisa coming to save him, he broke the link and now they can't defeat the serpent, however, other Shimazu and Musashi show up, stating they will just link again. They link up, but Akihiro is exhausted and fails. Musashi suggest that he takes his place, but Akihiro refuses, otherwise he has no use for the Shimazu and his life would be meaningless. Haruhisa states he forced all that on him, but what really matter is that they are brothers. They link again and this time Akihiro breaks the serpent horn.
With the Orochi nourishments cut, the Bushi manage to cut Orochi's horn and defeat it. An Uesugi bushi asks the group who cut the serpent horn as that saved thousand of lives. The Shimazu brothers point at Akihiro, but he doesn't want the reward and states someone else should take it. Haruhisa tells him that he fought harder than anyone else and the Shimazu brothers will be part of all kind of legends now. Haruhisa also tells Akihiro to thank Musashi for finding his wooden piece and Akihiro promises to repay him.
The Bushi notice that the Kitetsu isn't gathering at their swords. As Tatsuomi is saved, Musashi decides to go look for Michiru and the Bushi go with him. They go inside the mountain where Orochi was and find powered up Yataro who made Michiru into a blade and with powers similar to the Goddess. Natsuki doesn't take him seriously, as they defeated him earlier, but Yataro points his blade at Natsuki and almost kills him. As they start fighting, Yataro obliterates the Bushi and cuts down Harushisa, Tokisame and Katsumi, among others.

The Shimazu bushi are put in the same squad with the Amako bushi, Musashi and few others. Katsumi suggest they decide the leader with a battle and Shimazu choose Akihiro, who then easily defeats Katsumi and Musashi to become leader. Later, when the ship gets attacked by oni, the Shimazu link up and manage to defeat some oni. Later, when Musashi and Michiru are suspected to be involved with the enemy, the Shimazu squad is left behind until Musashi's involvement is cleared, so is soon cleared as the enemy bushi attack and Musashi is revealed to be the Obsidian Goddess.
Later, Kuroko forms a plan and sends the Shimazu to assist Musashi and destroy the Yura Mine. As the Shimazu arrive, they see an oni protecting it and link up to destroy it. Shiro shows up, but so do Naotora and he defeats Shiro. As part of their next mission, they need to find and defeat the third enemy Bushi, however, Akihiro wishes that they destroy one of the Kishin's horn. Proceeding, they team up with other Bushi and see Yataro, who then states he merged with the Kishin and turns into an oni.

Akihiro isn't looking happy and explains that they shouldn't be happy as they failed to kill the oni and now their comrades are in danger. Haruhisa gets angry and explains that Akihiro only cares about himself and getting the heir to the clan. He doesn't care about the rest and is fine if they die. As Akihiro confirms it, Haruhisa slaps him and states he won't be following him anymore. Akihiro takes something from his pocket and throws it out. Musashi picks it up and asks Fuyuie what it is and Fuyuie explains its a wooden piece used in planning battles, and that the Shimazu brothers did the same when they were young and shared their dreams. Haruhisa calls Musashi to be their final chain in the link and as they attempt to link up with him, Akihiro tries to steal the link, which only annoys the Shimazu for his greed. Musashi apologizes, stating he shouldn't have taken his place and that his dream is to defeat oni with his brothers. Recalling their past, Akihiro didn't want to be the final chain, but Haruhisa, Akihiro tells Musashi that he is wrong. Akihiro manages to steal the link and attacks the serpent, knocking it out for a moment, but the serpent later continues.
Akihiro then orders everyone to line up and link while standing still. That offends the Shimazu, but Akihiro states that's the only sure way they will link with others. They all link up and Akihiro heads towards the serpent, noting to himself that this way his brothers are safe. As he reaches the horn, Orochi ends up swallowing him and the serpent. Uesugi Bushi tell the group to run as Orochi will power up and wipe them out. Musashi approaches Haruhisa, telling him that older brothers protect younger, but Haruhisa reveals he hates Akihiro and if he had a red soul, he would had led them better. Musashi then wonders if he wants Akihiro to die so that Haruhisa can lead them. He then gives him Akihiro's wooden piece. The Shimazu recognize it and realize that Akihiro is hung up on the past. Haruhisa then decides to go and save him. A bit later, the other Shimazu and Musashi also enter Orochi and reaching Akihiro and Haruhisa, they hear that Akihiro mentions the link is broken, but the state they will just link again. They link up, but Akihiro is exhausted and fails. Musashi suggest that he takes his place, but Akihiro refuses, otherwise he has no use for the Shimazu and his life would be meaningless. Haruhisa states he forced all that on him, but what really matter is that they are brothers. They link again and this time Akihiro breaks the serpent horn.
With the Orochi nourishments cut, the Bushi manage to cut Orochi's horn and defeat it. An Uesugi bushi asks the group who cut the serpent horn as that saved thousand of lives. The Shimazu brothers point at Akihiro, but he doesn't want the reward and states someone else should take it. Haruhisa tells him that he fought harder than anyone else and the Shimazu brothers will be part of all kind of legends now. Haruhisa also tells Akihiro to thank Musashi for finding his wooden piece and Akihiro promises to repay him.
The Bushi notice that the Kitetsu isn't gathering at their swords. As Tatsuomi is saved, Musashi decides to go look for Michiru and the Bushi go with him. They go inside the mountain where Orochi was and find powered up Yataro who made Michiru into a blade and with powers similar to the Goddess. Natsuki doesn't take him seriously, as they defeated him earlier, but Yataro points his blade at Natsuki and almost kills him. As they start fighting, Yataro obliterates the Bushi and cuts down Harushisa, Tokisame and Katsumi, among others.
Using the Goddess power, Musashi manages to defeat Yataro. At the honor ceremony, the Shimazu are awarded with a castle, allowing them to become an independent bushi band.

Tsugumi is a sweet girl who is quick to forgive. It is, however, shown that she has a fear of letting toxic people go, and she is only able to do it when her friends helped her. She is still a powerful fighter on her own, however.
She can be manipulative, as she flashes for boys to distract them in order to finish them off. It is entirely possible that she harbors a certain degree of attraction towards Musashi by taking into consideration how annoyed she was when he blushed before Mitsuru Osafune and Michiru Saruwatari respectively.
An interesting aspect of her personality is a combination of protecting others just like her older sister did in the past, and a need to follow orders under a "Lord" to keep her damaged self-esteem in check. The latter was initially exploited by Lord Kosameda until she broke her ties with him and it only returned, although on a comical manner, when Kojiro Kanemaki became her "clan leader" at Daito Mine.

Totoko is slender and somewhat taller than the Matsuno siblings, as is the case of various Akatsuka heroines' proportions. She wears her hair tied back into a pair of pigtails, and her hair at the top of her head rests in a large swell (depicted alternatively as a bouffant or bun, or actually as part of her skull in a 1988 episode) with a headband worn over it. The color of her headband and ribbons vary depending on the artwork, but it is common to see the headband depicted as red or pink and the ribbons as yellow. The color of her hair is usually black in the manga, but can be depicted a deep brown like in the 1988 series and in -san .
In the -kun manga and the 1966 anime, she can be seen in a variety of dresses and jumper skirts. The 1988 series often has her wearing a deep reddish-pink jumper skirt over a lighter pink blouse.

In the original manga, Totoko is a kind-hearted, serious and friendly sort of young girl, but with very little patience for being let down or having to deal with the sextuplets' trouble. When angered, she shows her sadistic and ruthless side and gets violent, showcasing her "body blow". Her more violent temper gradually subsided to where she was more often depicted as an ordinary girl above the sextuplets, though still capable of getting frustrated and jealous.
By the third run in the 1980s, Totoko is depicted as a heroine but also capable of joining in on the sextuplets' bullying of Iyami, and committing other chaotic acts, such as scamming men and attempting to skip out on a restaurant bill under the false name of "Secret of Akko-chan". Her language also becomes rougher.
She is noted to be quite terrible at cooking, though she is said to be good at school work.

1988 anime adaptation [ ]

However, this specific animated series presents somewhat of a departure in her characterization: Although depicted milder in the earlier episodes, the series more often wound up depicting her as a vain, greedier, selfish girl fixated on money and glory. As a result, this often put her in a more comic relief type of role. A writer for the show named Kazuhisa Sakaguchi would recall the Yomiko producer Kyotaro Kimura being keen on redoing her character at the meetings for developing the show, with him stating that "Totoko seems to have an absolutely terrible personality" in his perception of the original manga and as basis for why it was okay to portray her even more over-the-top [2] . The casting of Naoko Matsui in the role sealed this fate, as Matsui was told by Kimura that Totoko would be the closest to her type, and the character's wild and unpredictable nature grew more as the staff tailored her to the usual type of girls Matsui was known to play.
While seen as a grade-schooler or to be assumed as such in most stories in that version, she is at times also depicted owning her own businesses or appearing to be aged up somewhat in professions such as a nurse, stewardess, or hostess. She lives to be complimented, and in one instance plays along with Iyami's feelings for her so she can get the money from his winning lottery ticket. She takes being ignored by the sextuplets even worse than she does in previous incarnations, becoming vengeful and finding her position as a "#1 idol" threatened. She's also depicted as going as far as to attempt to murder the sextuplets if she feels wronged and spurned by them, as seen in "Sextuplets Squared!".
Although this becomes the main type of setting for that version of Totoko, there are occasional episodes that depict her as more true to the manga and a more innocent character type, such as in "Chibita the Safe-Cracker" and "White Christmas of the Skyline", the latter depicting her as a singer who must regain her confidence. There are also episodes in which she may bear both a more heroic slant as well as a mischievous personality, such as "The Tomboy Princess of Dekapan Castle" and "Totoko, the Riddling Genius".
To go with the trends of the 1980s in Japan, she is at one point shown as a fan of the boy band Hikaru Genji. She also incorporates "Nori-P language" (used by the idol Noriko Sakai) into her dialogue.


Osomatsu-kun

The girl has short brown hair and wears a winter coat, while the boy wears glasses, along with a winter coat and muffler.
In Osomatsu-san in the Summer , the girl is wearing a pink maternity dress while the boy wears a white work shirt and general summer clothing.

Both are rather average and are more or less significant bystanders that come into contact with a certain sextuplet during their season 1 appearances.


Osomatsu-kun

Dobusu is a squat, heavy woman with large breasts and a wide face with a hippo-like mouth and snout. She has huge, wrinkled pink lips and narrowed green eyes. She often is depicted with wavy, shoulder-length brown hair decorated with two blue hairbows.
In her debut appearance, she wears a purple patterned dress with long, black sleeves. Meanwhile, her season 3 appearances have her wearing a white blouse and a red, patterned skirt. Though her skin is slightly darker in her usage as the Ugly Fairy and in the more recent roles, the guest spots of Dobusu in "Chibita's Revenge" and her cameo of "Osomatsu-san in Hell" showed her to have a paler complexion and slightly lighter brown hair than usual.
In her re-use in Osomatsu-san: The Movie , as one of Totoko's classmates, Dobusu has a pinker complexion and slightly longer hair in an orange-brown shade. She continues to resemble a hippo and wear her usual hair decorations, though she has blush swirls on her cheeks and can be seen dressed in the Akatsuka High girls' uniform. Unlike the others in the last year of high school, it is said in character notes that Dobusu is not actually 18 as she was held back from graduating at least eight times at the school. As a result, this would make her significantly older than the sextuplets and Totoko.
Usually in other roles for season 3, she retains her season 1 coloration except for having orange hair in "To the South" and having even darker skin and lips than usual in "Wannabe Detectives".

As the Ugly Fairy, Dobusu was shown to be possessive and highly-controlling of Karamatsu, demanding anything she wanted from him with the threat that she'd die if he didn't. This eventually lead to her forcing him into marriage, claiming she'd die if he refused as well.
In her other appearances through the show and games, while she may have a different role she may still be treated as a contemptible and foul presence; though Iyami is shown as her lover in "Chibita's Revenge" he seems to want to hide her presence from anyone else around. However, in season 3, she is shown to have a nicer or more neutral usage when revealed to be Nyaa's baby-sitter, as well as wishing Iyami luck at the ZANSU tournament.
In fact, compared to Nyaa and Totoko, the later role of Dobusu is said to be a more "common sense" type of woman and motherly, mature figure to contrast the two other women. The second opening to season 3 depicts the three casually talking and being amused at a coffee shop, which the voice actresses acknowledge can't be seen in the actual series but that illustrates how these different sort of women can just easily do things without worry.


Osomatsu-kun

The Flower Fairy is shown to be petite, with long hair reaching her mid-back, parted bangs, blue eyes, and a big blue flower as an accessory. She wears a white dress with scalloped edges on the sleeves and hem, with a green scalloped lining as well.

Being that she was born due to the kind deeds of Chibita , she is incredibly devoted to him during her short stay with him. She is kind, if not a little pushy, but genuinely wants to thank Chibita for helping her, even if her own demise comes soon after.
She seems to have a distaste for how Chibita obsesses over oden, and often takes him out to try new things.
