Good Luck Girl!

Momou has two forms: a human form and a dog form. When in dog form, he changes into a small white dog similar to a chihuahua. In his human form, he has dark brown hair and wears a white tanktop and black jeans with a drawn belt. In both his human and dog forms, he wears a red bandana as a neckerchief and has heterochromatic, or differently colored, eyes; his right eye is blue and left eye is green.

Momou is a masochistic dog god that Momiji usually summons. He has sharp senses of smell and hearing, and is capable of transforming into a chihuahua, though he is forced back into human form if he experiences too much pleasure, masochistic or otherwise. For example, when Ichiko tickles Momou in the bath, he accidentally changes back into human form. Due to his masochistic nature, Momou can withstand excruciating pain. Even when Ichiko beats him with a bathtub, he begs her to keep going.

She is in love with Keita , having been saved by him once when they were kids, and has been stalking him since, which is why she self-taught herself ninja skills and she is also the reason why other girls cannot get close to Keita.

Goodnight Punpun

God is a perpetually smiling, photorealistic head. He has glasses, stubble, and bushy hair. He is usually a floating head of various sizes, peeking out of corners and crannies, but sometimes he appears with the body of a naked man. On rare occasions, his smiling expression changes, usually into a gaping frown.

God is sarcastic and never gives Punpun straightforward or helpful answers. He often mocks Punpun for being cowardly and continuing to live a dull life. His advice to Punpun becomes increasingly violent over the course of the story, often encouraging Punpun to injure and rape.


Goodnight Punpun

Hiromi has a bottom-heavy face shape and full lips. Every time she appears, no matter the emotion or situation, her hands are held up in front of her body in a caricatured gesture. In elementary school, she has a fluffy bob haircut, which she grows out by middle school. In elementary and middle school, she has ragged bangs, but by time she is a college student, she has grown her bangs all the way out. Her hair is always worn down.
She usually wears shorts, and in the colder months, she wears shorts with leggings underneath, usually striped. The socks under her school uniform are also striped. In the blurb in front of Volume 9 , she is described as "sexy".

Hiromi is a loyal girl, remaining friends with Aiko even after their mutual friends have drifted, and dedicating herself to the Pegasus Ensemble. Not punctual, she arrives fifteen minutes late to her first Ensemble meeting. She is also outgoing, being the one to phone all the Ensemble members and call an emergency meeting to cheer up Pegasus. She is friendly and gets along well with the other members, but admits it was peer pressure rather than idealogy that initially made her agree to their suicide pact. She is the first one to opt out of the plan last minute, opening the door for the rest of the members to express their shared doubts. Considering how well she gets along with Aiko and Pegasus, two very strange people, she is probably an eccentric person herself.


Goodnight Punpun

Shimizu has chubby cheeks that sit a bit low on his face, unique eyebrows that taper inwards, and a nose that is chronically runny even in his later years.  Depending on his expression, his upper lip juts out.  He can usually be seen smiling, even when confused.  As a child, he wears loose tank tops and sandals, but as he gets older, he becomes more accustomed to fitted, buttoned shirts. After he develops amnesia, his nose is no longer runny.

Shimizu is a playful, light-hearted person, but his pushover attitude gets exploited by bullies, and most potential friends are turned off by his strangeness.  He has a very active imagination that easily crosses into delusion.  As a child, he claims he can shoot a power blast from his hands and that he can see the " God of Poop " and other figures that resemble his playtime doodles.  By middle school, he stops talking about these delusions to others although he can still see them. He exhibits courage and caring for his friends, as shown when he saves Punpun and Aiko 's lives during the fire at the Miso Factory .
Shimizu follows the path of an "Average" Japanese citizen by going through high school and college and living with his family, and Seki remarks that "being normal" is the best choice for him, who also told him he should pursue a girl in college. He is last mentioned when Seki says he couldn't attend the reunion, because he is too busy with working as a nurse both of them have work implying their codependency had came to an end. But in reality, Shimizu lost his memories in the fire set by the cult members.


Goodnight Punpun

Mama was a caricature of a bird and usually has unkempt hair. She has noticeably large breasts which she was made fun of for in her younger years.

Throughout the series, she is constantly shown acting very coldly toward Punpun, and it is later revealed that she blames Punpun for all of the hardships in her life. After being hospitalized for Pneumothorax, she is determined to be a better mother, but can't stop her usual habit of speaking harshly toward her son. In chapter 67, it is revealed that she has cancer and very little time to live; her final words to Punpun is her apology for being a terrible mother, and the admittance that she truly loved him.
After her divorce, her husband started sending letters to Punpun. However, it's revealed that the one who was actually writing the letters was Punpun's mother.


Goodnight Punpun

Seki has short, cropped hair in elementary school, which he gradually grows out over the course of the manga until it is past his shoulders when he is 22.  He sometimes wears it in a ponytail and is fond of baseball caps, even owning a shark fin cap in the third grade.  Seki has very non-obtrusive facial features, with a small nose and eyes, thin eyebrows, and a soft chin.  He usually has a cool, indifferent expression even when upset.  There is a permanent scar above the tip of his nose that is covered by a band-aid for most of elementary school.  He is a bit lanky and tends to keep his hands in his pockets. Many of his outfits are made up of an unbuttoned shirt over a T-shirt and cargo shorts. He wears the same coat throughout his middle school and high school ages since he cannot afford another. After getting beaten up at the end of Volume 12 , he appears to be missing a tooth. However, in the epilogue, he smiles with all his teeth indicating either an artistic discrepancy or a fake tooth.

Seki has low self-esteem growing up, which he compensates for by acting tough. This idea is shown most plainly in a kindergarten flashback, where Seki's drawing of his mom is much, much smaller than the other children's, mirroring his opinion of himself. It is also noted by his own father and Shimizu's mother that he is actually shy as a child. He never enrolls in high school, deciding book smarts would only help him become a con-artist. Despite not being academic, his thoughts tend to wander in a very philosophical direction, which often depresses him. Physical labor distracts him from these thoughts, which is why he winds up taking many jobs when he's older. When his construction job gives him too much time to waste conversing with his coworkers about hypothetical questions and bad memories, Seki decides to quit, which he covers up by saying the job is too dangerous. These coworkers also think he is too cynical and pretentious. Seki looks for many ways to numb his mind, even considering getting married and having kids for this very purpose.
He is a rough and tumble child who is shown to get in fist fights as early as kindergarten. He even once threatens to beat his alcoholic father with a bat. Although he has no qualms fighting the female bully who stole Shimizu's money, he has never hit his girlfriend, and is shocked when she lies to her father about this to get Seki in trouble. Although he does not see himself as someone who abides by conventional morals, he does have a sense of honor. This is seen when he is ultimately unable to kill a man for pay, and when he later accepts Wada 's sketchy "button-pushing" job under the one condition that it does not cause harm. It is also seen in his hatred of liars and his attitudes towards money in general.

Seki's free stuff.

It is Seki's deep belief that nothing in life is free. After watching his parents struggle to make ends meet, he develops strong feelings about money. When his friends decide to go searching for the money promised in the Lil' Chubster video, Seki helps them, in order to prove that the video is a prank and get-rich schemes don't work. In middle school, after watching two bullies scam Shimizu out of money, he boldly confronts them and says that money is something to be earned through hard work. Although he works multiple jobs, he never spends the money he earns. One thing that attracted him to the recycling business is that he can keep any throwaways for free. His sense of transaction rolls over into his relationships as well, since he offers to protect Shimizu in exchange for his company, although Shimizu is glad to spend time with him regardless. Although he constantly tells Shimizu to trust in him, Seki does not return the favor, believing on some level that Shimizu sticks around out of need instead of want, causing Seki to repeatedly point out how much Shimizu needs him and fostering an unhealthy, codependent relationship. After Shimizu abruptly breaks away from this relationship, Seki comes to terms with some of these fears when he saves Shimizu from a burning building and says he will be there to protect Shimizu even if Shimizu does not depend on him.
Seki begins smoking cigarettes in elementary school. After he and his friends explore the old miso factory , he witnesses an explosion caused by his dropped cigarette, with Shimizu still inside. This instance traumatizes Seki, causing a deep phobia of fire and causing him to dislike smoking. He is beaten up twice, once in middle school and once at age twenty, when his aggressors pull a lighter out and compare his reactions to that of a dog. He tells his girlfriend he's attracted to her because she doesn't smoke, and when he breaks up with her, he's more concerned with her new smoking habit than her cheating. Wada also agrees not to smoke in front of him. When Seki's family goes broke, Shimizu suggests he sell pre-made lunches, but Seki is too afraid to use his family's portable stove. He later replaces the gas stove in his and his girlfriend's homes with electric stoves. He faces his fear of fire when Shimizu again is caught in an exploding building with the Pegasus Ensemble and Seki breaks inside to rescue him. In the epilogue, he is even shown smoking a cigarette.


Goodnight Punpun

Midori is introduced as a young woman with shoulder-length black hair, and later cuts it to a bob. She is of an average height and a slim body type.


Goodnight Punpun

In comparison to the others, Miyuki is overweight, and is aware of it. Depending on her mood, her face is sometimes a bit of a caricature, depicting a pig's with flared nostrils; this is further reinforced by Sachi calling her a pig lightheartedly.
Miyuki after her haircut in Chapter 93, as well as her pig-like expression, as she's in a sour mood.

In Chapter 93 when Sachi talks about the work she'd like to get done for plastic surgery, Miyuki says that Sachi has no need to worry about her looks, but she needs to lose weight quickly if she ever wants to find a husband. (This proves to be wrong later, as she was still overweight when she announced she was getting married to her fiancée, Komushi).
Although Miyuki's birthdate is never explicitly mentioned, since her first appearance to now she is likely around 20-25 years of age. It is difficult to tell exactly how old she was in her first appearance to her last: since her first appearance in Chapter 62, Miyuki has had a mostly homogenous style and has not changed much visually. However, starting in Chapter 93, she has a bob instead of her typical long hair.
Since she's already married, and also the older sibling of Azusa, who is around the same age as Punpun (in Volume 6, he's around sixteen), she could be anywhere from 3 to 5 years older. This would presently put her in her early twenties; however, she could also be younger or older than that.
In all of her appearances from high school age to adulthood, she is seen with the same typical hair to the mid-back pigtail style, glasses and braces. An important aspect of her character is her quirky personality, which blends with her odd fashion sense. She is always seen in somewhat unfashionable or uncoordinated clothing, and is rarely seen without a hat on, which more often than not depicts an animal of some sort. She does not change much characteristically nor aesthetically, no matter the occasion or if she's in a professional setting or not. This alludes that she stays true to herself.


Goodnight Punpun

Papa is a caricature bird, darker in color than the rest of the family. He has black, gelled hair and a small mustache above his beak. He begins wearing glasses around the time he becomes a nurse.

glasses

As a kid, Papa was into outer space and science fiction. He gives Punpun a telescope and talks about how inspiring the night sky is. He loves women and the Giants baseball team. He admits to Mama that after the stress of working a dangerous job for so many years and subsequently being fired, he feels anxious even going outside. He can be a jumpy person and often forgets people's names. When asking Punpun to move in with him, he deals with the stress by cracking jokes and even forgets where he is, thinking he is at a cafe instead of Punpun and Mama's apartment. Although he loves Punpun, he does not contact him unless seeing him in person. He enjoys the calm, simple life of the countryside in Fukushima, where the stars are easier to see.


Goodnight Punpun

Punpun is depicted as a flightless caricature bird, but this depiction changes frequently throughout the story to express his state of mind. The other characters, unlike the audience, only see his human form, since the caricature birds he and his family are seen as are entirely figurative.

Punpun as a child is particularly innocent and naive. He was quiet and timid when interacting with his friend and often complied with what his friends wanted. Punpun was kind, as described by his father . However, his kindness leads to him despising himself.
As an adult, Punpun is often seen to be sexually driven, depressed and cynical. After reuniting with Aiko , he finds sex very irresistible and addictive. Punpun also becomes highly aggressive and impatient, lashing out at Aiko and other people in violent ways. He becomes very apathetic to many things along with being highly suicidal. In contrast with his personality as a child, Punpun blames others much more than himself. Punpun is rarely fearful of anything and doesn't react to pain shown by when he let Aiko stab him in the eye and chest.


Goodnight Punpun

Sachi takes great care of her physical appearance. In childhood, Sachi has a round nose and chin, but she has multiple cosmetic surgeries on her face during college, making her mostly unrecognizable when she is reintroduced in later volumes. After her surgeries, she has a much slimmer face and nose and wider eyes. She is currently considering breast implants. Her eyes are lightly colored, possibly from her foreign mother, and she wears fake lashes and square glasses. Her eyebrows are sparse. She has a beauty mark above her lip. During college, her hair is bleached, but she dyes it black sometime later. She wears her hair in a layered bob during high school, but leaves it long and straight for many years afterwards, until she cuts it into a bob again while pregnant. Sachi is a tall, slim girl, towering above Misuzu and Aiko . During adolescence, she became bulimic and lost a lot of weight. Punpun notes that her hands are surprisingly large and rough and remind him of Mama Punpun . However, she keeps her nails long and manicured. Her wardrobe consists of many maxi skirts, harem pants, and slim tees.

Sachi is a bold woman with a foul mouth. She has always enjoyed art and drawing and used to win many awards in middle school, though she seemed to plateau in high school. According to Miyuki , Sachi has carried this sense of failure with her and has a need to prove herself. She used to hang out at the abandoned miso factory in middle school, and the nice view of the stars it offered inspired her milky way painting that connected her and Punpun. Later, she says she was never actually able to see the milky way and that when she was younger, she tried too hard to appear mysterious and alternative. Her first attempts at a professional manga are also deemed "pretentious". She was bullemic as an adolescent and worked many jobs during college to pay for multiple cosmetic surgeries on her face. She says every part of her looks and lifestyle is something she consciously chose for herself. This is what freedom means to her. She is a workaholic and dedicates herself completely to whatever project at hand, and her need for control can overflow into relationships. She divorced her husband when he wanted her to depend on him more, and she enjoys that Punpun clings to her guidance. However, after an argument with Miyuki about charity, she relents that nobody can get by without help from others. Strong and stubborn, she often claims that nothing can change her, but this notion is tested by the same argument as well as other events in the story.


Goodnight Punpun

Soara is a caricature bird, like Punpun Onodera and all of his blood relatives.

Little is known about Soara, but he is probably similar to Yuuichi Onodera and Punpun Onodera since he is haunted by the Dark Spot, or God , as they were.


Goodnight Punpun

Sonoda is a very petite girl with wavy light-colored hair that she usually has in sleek pigtails with no bangs (but braids it in college and wears it down in the epilogue) and huge, bambi eyes.

Sonoda is a quiet and shy girl who never has any actual lines and usually speaks through notes or other people. She likes her privacy and breaks up with Shuntarou Harumi after their classmates find out they are dating.
She may be a little boy-crazy since she is the only female character whose crushes, rather than actual boyfriends, are a focus. Freckled Girl says Sonoda has a "type" and since she falls for Harumi and Yaguchi , she seems to be attracted to friendly and outgoing boys.


Goodnight Punpun

Yuuichi always wears a beanie and glasses, although he sometimes takes the glasses off and Yuuichi looks just like Punpun Onodera .
At times, Yuuichi appears to have human eyes and develops facial hair several times. Women of all ages find him very attractive.

Yuuichi is somewhat of a pervert, and often stares at girls' butts when he gets the chance. His appetite for women is one of his few apparent flaws, as he has had several affairs which affected his romantic relationships. Yuuichi is extremely remorseful about his adultery, to the point of suicidal thoughts.
He does not believe in God and has little patience for people who force their religion onto others, as seen when he snaps at Aiko Tanaka 's mother when she goes door-to-door selling blessed water.


Gosick

Marquis de Blois is a man with wavy pale blonde hair and blue eyes. He is always seen wearing a monocle in his left eye and is dressed in white robes similar to a priest's. There is also a large crucifix hanging from his neck as a necklace.
Albert gives off a mysterious, sinister aura that can be intimidating even to his son Grevil.

Marquis Albert applies a strict approach whether if it concerns his quest to gain supernatural might or if it involves Victorique or Grevil. He is also very focused in his ambitions to the point of disregarding the family he created through Cordelia Gallo ; in fact, he regards Victorique as a mere tool for the struggle between the Ministry and the Science Academy .


Gosick

Ambrose is a young man with long blond hair and green eyes. He ties his hair in a ponytail. His outfit consists of a white undershirt, a blue necktie, a brown coat and breeches. Ambrose also wears a cone-shaped hat.

Despite knowing about Victorique's roots as a murderer's daughter, Ambrose still shows a friendly attitude to her and Kazuya throughout their stay in the Village of Gray Wolves. In fact, Kazuya becomes the target of his interest, at one time asking permission from Victorique to touch Kazuya, having never seen anyone outside his village with differing ethnicity and physical characteristics.


Gosick

Avril has short wavy blond hair and blue eyes. Aside from her usual school uniform, Avril wears comfortable dresses, including a short pink sleeveless dress with a ribbon tied on the waist.

Unlike Kuiaran , who is prim-and-proper and lady-like, Avril is far less graceful, as demonstrated when she wolfs down several sandwiches after a few days without food as Kuiaran's captive. She is also interested in the supernatural and is adventurous, usually dragging along Kazuya in her own adventures around Saint Marguerite and outside town.


Gosick

Brian is a tall man with distinctive long red hair and a sharp gaze. He wears a loose white shirt which he leaves mostly unbuttoned, and a pair of black pants. He covers his attire with a long black cape, and is usually seen wearing a black top hat.

Not much is known of him, but he shows a blunt personality when talking to Kazuya Kujo about referring to Victorique as a "tool" when the two encounter in Leviathan's clock tower and at the Phantasmagoria festival when talking to Victorique.
Both Brian Roscoes care deeply for Cordelia Gallo, after initially admiring her for her strength even after her exile from the village. This deep sentiment is the reason they follow her as she looks over Victorique, despite their strong jealousy towards the latter for being Cordelia's most important person. One Brian Roscoe admitted to wanting to kill Victorique so that Cordelia would only live for them instead of her, and that he hated her for making Cordelia cry. Both want to protect Cordelia, but is unable to because of her unwavering desire to protect Victorique. So instead, they aid her as she goes to great lengths to protect her daughter.


Gosick

Like many of the inhabitants of the Village of the Gray Wolves, Cordelia possesses blonde hair and green eyes. As a maid, she is ordered to arrange her hair into a bun on each side of her head. She later abandons the look when she is exiled from the village, and has been seen wearing a similar hairstyle as her daughter.
She is peculiarly small for a woman of her age, and usually wears dark-colored outfits, particularly a black-and-purple dress.

Cordelia is shown to be very loving, caring person and incredibly strong mentally and emotionally. As described from one Brian Roscoe, she was the mother they always wanted. Even though Cordelia  was forced to bear Victorique, she loves her daughter very much and often mentions that Victorique is her soul. Both Brian Roscoes particularly admired her for her strength, looking forward even after she was exiled from her village. Throughout her travels with them she often looks over her daughter, whom she calls her soul.


Gosick

Cecile is a small woman in her twenties with a baby face, fluffy brown hair and big round glasses. She is usually dressed in a light yellow blouse with ruffles dangling where the collar meets and a high-waist pencil skirt; she also wears a pair of Venetian-style loafers and white hosiery.

In spite of being a teacher of Saint Marguerite, Cecile does not necessarily exude an aura of a strict instructor. She is friendly towards other people, particularly the students of Saint Marguerite, and in fact, sometimes acts less mature than even Kazuya or Victorique , a tell-tale sign of her age; Cecile even suffers from being bullied by Victorique at times. However, she can also show a strict side, which actually managed to scare both Avril and Kazuya once.
As do most of the people in Saint Marguerite, she knows a lot of things about Sauville 's many urban myths and has shared some of her knowledge to Kazuya; ironically, she is very weak when it comes to ghosts and anything scary, and would panic or faint when seeing or hearing scary things first-hand.


Gosick

Grévil is a tall and handsome man in his 20s. He fashions a weird drill-like hairstyle which requires a long time to set, and is rarely seen with his hair unstyled. In the past, however, Grevil is often seen with his shoulder-length hair left unkempt. According to Kazuya Kujō , Grevil's hair is silky at first look, and Cecile Lafitte describes his hair as having the scent of flowers, which Grevil blames on the fragrant shampoo he uses.
He is also usually seen wearing a white coat and slacks, and wears a pink ascot. In the past, he would instead resort to a blue ascot with his coat.

In the past, Grevil displays a more mild-mannered behavior, soft-spoken and always calm. However, he now acts in a more eccentric way, sometimes exaggerating his actions and manner of speaking in front of familiar people. Despite his comical behaviour, he does show a more serious side when obediently regarding his father's orders, to whom he holds a deep obligation as his eldest son and heir.
The truth about Grevil's work as a detective is that it is an "aristocrat's hobby", and he had forced the local police to make him a detective purely because he had an interest in crime. In fact, Grevil is actually a terrible detective; one of the most notable mistake he made was how Grevil had suspected Kujo and nearly criminalized him for killing a government worker who was really killed by his lover, which would have caused a diplomatic war between Sauville and Japan.  As a result, usually dependent on Victorique's intelligence to solve his crimes.
He shares a complex relationship with his younger half-sister, Victorique. In spite of his constant visits to Victorique, he is reluctant to interact with Victorique, especially since he knows that she can be overly demanding when it comes to repaying her talents. For example, his odd hairstyle. He also tends to say cruel things to her - for example calling her heartless, not knowing how to love. Despite that, does show that he cares for her, often protesting against his father's actions towards her and worrying about her.
He is in love with his best friend, Jacqueline , despite the fact that she is already married, and thinks very highly of her opinion.


Gosick

Like most of the inhabitants of the Village of the Gray Wolves, she has long blond hair and green eyes. She arranges her hair into two long braids which is formed into a bun in each side of her face.
As a chambermaid, she is always seen wearing a dark blue dress with a white collar.

Harminia possesses the characteristics of an unstable mentality, breaking into fits of hysteria whenever she is reminded of the murder of Elder Theodore and/or Cordelia Gallo herself. Otherwise, she is a quiet young woman who spoke very rarely to strangers.


Gosick

Ian is a young boy with blond hair and blue eyes. His hair reaches past his ear on the front and goes as far as his nape on the back. His outfit is typical of the upper class boys of his age; he wears a dark green coat, a white undershirt and white breeches, although he doesn't wear a tie or similar accessories.
At first glance, he seems friendly, and he does not exude the air of extravagance of an older member of the upper class.

Despite having a father who strictly criticizes the occult in general, Ian does not share the same personality. In fact, he is curious when it comes to the supernatural, and it only intensified when he met Leviathan, on his father's interrogation of the mysterious alchemist. Ian also appears to be friendly even to strangers, a trait somewhat unusual for someone who comes from an aristocrat family.


Gosick

Jacqueline is a woman with chocolate brown hair and brown pupils. She styles her hair into bun, and leaves a lock of hair hanging from both sides of her face. She wears a light brown coat over a pink undershirt and wears a pleated skirt with a slightly darker color.

Despite being an adult, Jacqueline usually acts much younger for her age, bubbly and always in high spirits. She usually suffers from having a short attention span, and can be stubborn, a constant test to her maid Marion 's patience.
However, Grevil knows that she also experiences moments of sadness, which Jacqueline often tries to hide by resorting to impulse buying and trying to act funny at the wrong moments.


Gosick

Kujo is a young boy with black hair and burgundy eyes. Although usually seen wearing the uniform of Saint Marguerite Academy, he also wears the conservative clothing that boys of his age usually wear. His outfit consists of: long-sleeved shirts worn over light-colored undershirts; neckties; a coat; and either breeches or slacks. Most of the time, he wears a narrow-brimmed hat.

Kazuya possesses a kind and sincere attitude, usually soft-spoken and respectful to others. He takes the honor of being an Imperial soldier's son to heart, and follows its code of honor most of the time. However, he shows a more blunt side when he is annoyed, causing him to hurt others by his words carelessly.
Kujo also possesses an imperfect memory, remembering many details that are helpful in solving a case, yet unable to always remember information outside solving crimes.

Leviathan's true features is of a man of African descent, with a dark complexion and black hair. He prefers to keep his features a secret by wearing a loose black cloak and a mask that completely hides any traces of his origin, allowing him to mingle with the people of Sauville without being questioned.
His usual attire also causes him to exude a mysterious aura which, combined with his eloquent speech, has managed to charm Queen Coco Rose while the alchemist became the king's adviser.

Before he was known as Leviathan, he belonged to a group of Africans who were used to secretly transport gold into Sauville which was then hidden in the clock tower of Saint Marguerite Academy . When the king ordered the murder of the rest of the Africans to keep the secret of the gold's location intact, he survived and was able to escape.
The previous king soon passed away and as the only one who knows the location of the hidden gold, he took on the alias Leviathan and masked his face to conceal his African heritage, appearing in front of the new king Rupert de Gilet twenty years later.
With his knowledge of chemistry and botany, he convinced the King's court of his alchemist abilities by turning a white rose blue and agreed to supply the King with gold — in fact, the gold that was brought into the country twenty years prior, under the guise that he was using alchemy to create them. However, it comes under the condition that Sauville protects his African homeland from further colonization by other nations.
As tensions between the Ministry of the Occult and the Science Academy began to rise, Leviathan soon found himself under fire from both Baron Musgrave and the Academy to provide evidence for alchemy.
Under both stress and pressure by the Academy and the nobles, he murders Ian Musgrave out of despair and anguish, condemning himself to execution. However, he was later approached by Albert de Blois who proposed a bargain with him. In exchange for his protection, Leviathan was to create an army of homunculi for the upcoming Great War.
He knew well that he did not have the ability to perform such a task and he was later fatally wounded by a hail of arrows from Baron Musgrave's men. As he managed return to his tower and lock himself in his secret vault that hid his gold, he was sought by Albert, who desparately pleaded for his help. However, using his last breath, he advises Albert to father a child from an unusual bloodline.

Luigi is a young boy with blond hair and blue eyes. Due to his initial status as a street beggar, his straight hair becomes wavy and dull-colored. He is dressed similarly to a typical child of his age, but the clothes he wears are rags and are torn in some places.

To earn a few coins to buy food for himself, Luigi usually uses his ability in various ways, including guessing how much money a person drops and placing bets on it with that person. He also later reveals that he does not like the police, mainly because they did not believe the reports he submitted about disappearing women and children.

Mildred is a young woman with gray pupils and brown hair which forms a large ball of wiry curls on her head; on each side of her face is a lock of hair tightly curled in place. She also has some freckles dotting her cheeks.
She first appears dressed in nun's clothes when she assumes the role of a nun who acquires money from selling donated goods. She later abandons her disguise and changes to a yellow sleeveless dress with a low neckline, which exposes much of her breasts.

Contrary to her initial disguise, Mildred is an outgoing woman with a choice of clothes less conservative than women of her time. She is also an alcoholic, usually seen consuming alcoholic beverages even when she is supposed to play as a nun (which Kazuya later determines).
Mildred can also be playful to people whom she is comfortable talking with, which Grevil personally experiences much to his embarrassment.

Millie is a young girl with wavy blond hair and blue eyes. Her hair reaches to her back and two locks of her hair hang from either side of her face. Because of her terminal illness, she has a pale complexion compared to her classmates.
She is usually seen dressed in the uniform of Saint Marguerite until the time of her death, where she wears a white dress.


Gosick

As previously stated, she bears a striking resemblance to the queen of Sauville, Coco Rose. She has the same golden-blond hair, eyes and complexion of the queen, and one may have difficulty in distinguishing the queen among the two if they were placed side by side.
What would probably cause Nicole to stand out is her choice of clothing, which is less regal and more like a celebrity, befitting her fame as a stage actress.

Little is known about Nicole's personality, but according to some photographs, she has a more upbeat personality, which might stand out if placed in a more serene environment.


Gosick

Ruri is a girl with long black hair and dark brown pupils. Her hair forms a neat row of fringes across her forehead and she prefers her hair unarranged. Like most Japanese people of her time, she is usually seen wearing a kimono.

Ruri acts as Kazuya's guardian when he is scolded by his father. According to her, she shudders at the thought of Kazuya becoming either one of her elder brothers or her father, and wishes that he was able to play games with her, even to the point of wishing that Kazuya was born female.


Gosick

Simon is a man with brown hair and dark blue pupils. He styles his hair such that the fringes are on either side of his face. On his trip to the Phantasmagoria, he wears a black coat and a blue necktie. Upon first glance, Simon looks presentable and approachable, a trait which is then backed up by his cheery and pleasing personality.

In spite of having complete strangers as companions in Phantasmagoria , Simon is seen to be friendly with everyone he meets, even with a grumpy old man he ends up sitting with alongside Kazuya. Simon is also equally knowledgeable in science as in urban myths, and can be argued that he is a loyalist of scientific advancement, blatantly questioning the existence of supernatural powers.

Victorique is a small, almost doll-like girl with long blonde hair and emerald eyes. However, she possesses a voice and articulation in speaking that makes her sound like a mature woman. Despite being a student in Saint Marguerite Academy, she usually wears a black Victorian dress and Black Hairband which is full of lace and frills; she also possesses a wardrobe consisting of dresses of a variety of colors. As a child, her appearance is no different except for the lack of emotion she shows on her face. This can be seen when she speaks to Grevil de Blois, especially on the topic of love and affection.
Another important part of Victorique's appearance is that she sometimes appears to be smoking a white and blue porcelain pipe that she uses when thinking.
At the end of the anime, her hair turn silver. Supernatural beings usually die if they leave the old continent, Victorique however survives because she's a mixed blood. Still, her hair completely lose the golden color due to Marie Antoinette Syndrome.

Victorique personifies the classic tsundere character type. However, that is not all there is to her personality. Despite her sharp tongue, abusive bluntness, and eccentric attitude, she possess an odd supernatural, overwhelming charisma, and flawless eloquence. She uses these skills to manipulate people into doing what she wants with ease.
Victorique often puts on a show of being harsh or sarcastic, but she has other sides to her personality. She is often depicted as being bored by normal life, and asks Kujo to bring her things to distract or entertain her. Often, he brings things to her of his own accord, and Victorique is shown as having a range of reactions, depending on the gift. These gifts range from mysteries, to candy, to a beautiful kimono from Japan.
Victorique also has some rather child-like parts of her personality. She can be impetuous, stubborn, cheerful, and sweet, just like a small child might be.
Another big part of her personality is that she seems to have some sort of social anxiety. This is shown in how she tends to hide in a large cubbord, or stay perfectly still so that people think she's a large doll when strangers come into the botanical gardens where she spends much of her time. She is frightened and nervous when Kujo finds her after the stranger(s) leave, but his presence calms her down quickly.
Her experience in the dungeons of the de Blois mansion, along with the absence of her mother, Cordelia , has caused her to develop a nihilistic attitude. In spite of possessing a brilliant mind, she did not have any knowledge when it comes to love and affection which her brother would often use to hurt her. This gradually changed when she begins spending time in the library tower of Saint Marguerite Academy, and this change is hastened by her interactions with Kujo.
She initially treats Kujo as an entertainer of sorts, usually being dependent on him to cure her boredom by either bringing her something interesting (which at times fails to meet its purpose) or telling her a mystery to solve. The latter eventually puts them into situations that improve their relationship with each other to the point they soon became good friends, such as in episode 3 of the anime. When it was apparent that Kujo was in danger, she worried about him, and pleaded Kujo to stay with her because she wanted to return home with him. Victorique soon shows a more sincere side to showing her emotions to Kujo than to others, even asking him to protect her.

Cruel Moon Archdemon was an elderly man with a muscular build and usually had a serious expression on his face. He had a thick white moustache and long flowing white beard that matched his equally long side burns. The remaining hair from his balding head was tied back into a traditional bun. He also wore an ornate robe and a cloak with large pauldrons but later on changed to a simple cloak.

Cruel Moon Archdemon was described as an impetuous and belligerent man. [1] He also had great pride in the Asura Blood Sect and was a firm supporter of the Sect's dream of conquering the Middle Kingdom as he was willing to travel to the murim against the Grand Prelate's orders to find a weapon that could make it possible. Even moments before his death, he never wavered in loyalty to the Grand Prelate and gave a rare warm smile to a vision of him when he looked down on everyone he encountered in the Murim. [2] Furthermore, he seemed to have cared somewhat about his subordinates, showing a moment of grief when he learned about their dwindling numbers however he was also strict and harsh being quick to reprimand them for their failures. [3]


Gosu

Ryong is a short, plump young man with long black hair that he ties into a ponytail and pale brown eyes. His general appearance is very unassuming leading many to underestimate him. He also generally wears a jolly and bright expression on his face.

Ryong is a cheerful guy who rarely has a frown on his face. He has a strong sense of justice and is always willing to step in and help those who look like they are in trouble; he once forsook sleep for several days to make sure the Elder was safe from an assassin. While he initially seemed to be somewhat naïve, finding himself interrupting and getting engaged in the middle of fights without knowing the situation, this is merely him obfuscating his true nature as an intimidatingly powerful gosu; a few people have experienced Ryong's incredibly intimidating murderous intent, with one likening him to a demon and a great tiger. [2] Nameless comments that Ryong's overwhelmingly intimidating battle aura and fighting spirit completely defies belief.
Ryong tries not to kill his opponents unless the situation forces him to do so. This peaceful attitude has clashed with the supposed mission given to him by his late master : killing the Four Heavenly Kings . After experiencing what his master was truly like before his downfall during his fight with Mak Sapyeong , Ryong's attitude towards people in the murim and the opponents he faced began to change; during his skirmish with Ze Wungang and Nameless , Ryong truly realised that killing the Four Heavenly Kings actually wasn't what his master had wanted for him and that he had chosen to do so of his own volition, although he had since become disillusioned with the path he had chosen. [3] As a result, he has become more vicious, merciless and apathetic in his actions, mirroring that of the original Heavenly Destroyer.

Goo Hwi is a giant of a man with a dense bulky musculature from years of intensive training, black hair tied back into a short spiky ponytail, his thick black trademark moustache over his lip and a distinguishing scar running down over his left eye. He has a tattoo of a black snake on his left shoulder, signifying his association with the Black Snake assassins.
Several decades after the war against the Asura Blood Sect , Goo Hwi has aged noticeably with his once black hair and moustache having now gone completely grey. He also gained a second distinguishing scar on the left side of his chin.

Goo Hwi is generally quite a cheerful entity and quite level-headed. He has a protective nature and will help those aligned with his family's organisation. While Goo Hwi will happily avoid conflict when possible, if the situation calls for it, he is more than happy to show serious force.
While he has mellowed out in his old age, Goo Hwi loved to fight in his younger days, showing no hesitation to challenge others in any situation regardless of what state he is in. [2] [3] Even when facing powerful opponents, he is absolutely fearless and confident in his victory. He is also a very prideful man, often boasting about his fame and calling his martial arts the most powerful in the Middle Kingdom. [4] Although he is a murderer, Goo Hwi has some sense of honor. He does not lay his hand on weak and innocent people or attack merchants and common folk for private gain. [5] [6] Goo Hwi also spares opponents that are not worth killing or people who turns their back on him and walk away but he has no exception for those that harbors hostility towards him. [7] Furthermore, Goo Hwi will hold a grudge against those who had wronged him as he was willing to track down Yongbi and Cruel Moon Archdemon to even the most remote places to exact his revenge on them.

Hong Ye-Mong was an extremely attractive young woman, her beauty was so famous that even those not native to the Middle Kingdom had heard of it. Her wavy black hair was often tied into a long flowing ponytail with strands hanging about. She had full red lips and occasionally wore earrings. Hong Ye-Mong also wore a vast array of cheongsam dresses and robes, and she always carried around her trademark blue bamboo fan. When disguised as Sohsoh, she wore old shabby clothes and had untidy hair which gave her a scruffy appearance. Her face was obscured by large round glasses and a scarf, and she sported short twintails. During this time, she also carried around a massive fan. Several decades after the war against the Asura Blood Sect , Hong Ye-Mong claims wears makeup to retain a youthful appearance though she does hint it is due to other factors. [2]

Hong Ye-Mong has a strong will and dominant personality befitting her position as mistress of the Red Bloods . While she may seem cold most of the time, Hong Ye-Mong is caring of her organisation and its members. She is also intelligent and cunning, often coming up with schemes. If the situation calls for it, Hong Ye-Mong will personally enter the fray to investigate matters and is completely fearless when it comes to combat.
She has a special relationship with Yongbi , while she is usually serious, his antics always make Hong Ye-Mong lose her cool. Initially in love with Yongbi, she broke her engagement with him after he swindled most of the Red Blood's money. This event has such an impact on her that she will go great lengths to hide traces of their relationship and anyone who mentions even a tiny bit of it will be subjected to her wrath (especially Elder Muk ). However, it was revealed that even after all Yongbi had done, she still held feelings for him deep down. She is willing to show forgiveness as she and Yongbi eventually got married but they still occasionally have quarrels. [3]

Hyeon Jae-Yang is a short elderly man with his white hair tied into a ponytail, short strands of hair that hangs over his forehead, and prominent wrinkles on his face. His sideburns and Fu Manchu moustache drops down to his chest and he has a thick but short beard. During the journey in the Muhae valley, he carried a cane around and wore raggedy garbs which gave him a slightly unkempt look. Afterwards, he wore a patterned robe and adornments befitting his status as a faction master.

He is a wise and knowledgeable man who is also often laid back and playful. When the situation calls for it, he can be stern and serious as seen when he attempted to persuade Sanggwan Chaek to return to the murim and face his crimes. [1] Even though he is willing to mercilessly slaughter those who oppose him, Hyeon Jae-Yang has a caring and forgiving side. He showed regret when he accidentally killed Sanggwan Chaek and withdrew his ki halfway through a powerful technique when facing his disciple's possessed body.
Hyeon Jae-Yang was well known to have such a great wanderlust that he's been to just about every corner of the continent, [2] and he also likes to befriend heroes from all around the world. [3] Being the drinking buddy of the Murim High Lord , [4] and having wished that the Golden Castle was full of ripe, rich wine instead of treasures, Hyeon Jae-Yang has a significant love for drinking. [5]

Jeok Seong was a muscular young man with long sideburns and hair tied into a short spiky ponytail. He wore the typical armor of the Black Lancers and carried a sword around with him. After the events of Yogok Gorge, his entire body and head was scarred and disfigured so he wrapped his body in bandages to hide the scarring. [2] The bamboo hat he wore sported a long tassel on top and hid his long ponytail. He also wore common garbs and carried his sword by the base of the hilt in his left hand.

Jeok Seong was a loyal and persistent man, when he was inducted into the Black Lancers, he fought desperately to survive. He was also quite treacherous since he would kill his own superiors if he thought they were holding back their chance to win the war. However, after he found someone worth following such as Yongbi , he would serve that person loyally. Jeok Seong also had a sense of justice as he saved a boy and his mother from bandits and even went as far as going to their stronghold to slaughter their entire band. [3] He cared very much about his comrades as he often cried when he thinks about them and was haunted by their deaths. After escaping from the borderlands, he stayed true to his word and tried to track down his comrades' families to give them their wills. Despite initially being vengeful towards Yongbi and had tracked him down to kill him, he ultimately admitted before his death that deep down in his heart, he never really despised him and just wanted to see him again.

He was a middle-aged man with long black hair tied back into a low ponytail and tied into a knot on the top of his head. His eyebrows flare upwards and he wore the traditional garments of the time. Due to the artist's error, he was seen with scars in his first appearance but not in later ones.

Elder Muk is an elderly man with a strong face, black eyebrows and sideburns, and a thick black Hollywoodian beard. His greyed hair is tied back into a bun with several loose strands sticking out all over. He also wore a cape over his traditional robes and carries a sword around.

He is a constant joker and easy-going man even during serious situations. He is generally cheerful and respectful, especially towards Yongbi , who he addresses as "Master Yongbi" and "Dear Husband". At times he can be quite selfless, expecting nothing in return for saving Jeok Seong's life. Even after accidentally receiving a grievous sword slash from Yongbi, he pleaded with Hong Ye-Mong to not hate him hoping that their relationship is not strained further. Having known Hong Ye-Mong since her childhood, he cares a lot for her and is protective of her. Elder Muk also constantly teases her on her relationship with Yongbi, hilariously incurring her wrath every time.

In his younger years, Yongbi was an attractive man with a lean but well-defined musculature and long black hair that he fastened into a flowing ponytail and several loose strands of hair that hang over his forehead. He wore the common garbs of the time and usually carried around a staff and sword with him.
Several decades after the war against the Asura Blood Sect , Yongbi has aged noticeably, now sporting a respectable greyed beard. Despite this, he aged less than expected with Ilgak asking why he aged at a slower rate than the rest in the Sage Forest.

Yongbi is an outwardly jovial, carefree and perverted person with a distinctive penchant for alcohol and money (a trait he shared with his steed Biryong ). Some would describe him as greedy, deceptive, contemptible, tricky, sly, lasivious, and lecherous. [1] While he does display these traits from time to time, Yongbi is deceptively loyal, trustworthy and empathizing despite his seemingly lackadaisical persona.
Yongbi can be serious at times, usually when engaging a powerful foe or when addressing his traumatic past. Behind his usual cheerfulness, he is quite the tragic character who struggled to deal with his inner demons. After finding out that Jeok Seong survived the battle at Yogok Gorge, he would rather hide his consciousness deep within than face him. [2] Even though he sends money to take care of the Horselord's tribe, he takes no responsibility for how the money is spent or care if it is misused. [3] In the past, people saw him as a blood thirsty demon who would slaughter his enemies without remorse and would send hordes of his own men to their deaths. While he did do that, Yongbi did not find thrill in those deeds and is haunted by his past. He often sees the spirits of those he slaughtered, and calls it a long nightmare that he cannot escape no matter how hard he struggles. [4] He did care about his subordinates somewhat as he was seen tracking down their families in the Middle Kingdom to aid them.
Perhaps his most distinguishing trait is his extreme lust for money. When a large sum of money is involved, Yongbi would go crazy and be unable think coherently, [5] causing him to fall for obvious traps. [6] He will also do literally anything for money, [5] even going as far as revealing important secrets about the Golden Castle to a stranger he just met. [7] Even decades after the war against the Asura Blood Sect , Yongbi has retained his desire for money as seen when he questioned if Gang Ryong had compensated them for room and board. [8]

Pentaro's feathers are always blue. Later on, as pictured in the cartoon drawings of the Parodius games, he wears a flak jacket and wields a carbine. It's possible that he picked up the shooting skills learned by his father during the course of events in Penguin Adventure , as one of the most facilitating items during the course of the game is a gun.


Grand Blue

Aina is a fairly tall and attractive young woman with waist-length black hair that is tied in a ponytail with bangs swept to the right side while she has long bangs hanging on either side of her face, dark-colored eyes and a beauty mark under her mouth.
Her figure fits a model with long, well-shaped legs and slender hip and arms.

Aina is a friendly girl who asks Iori Kitahara to show her around and she is also innocent as she was shocked (although not freaked out) when she saw Kouhei Imamura , who was impersonating Yuichi Ikegoshi , stripping.


Grand Blue

Aina is fairly pretty in appearance and build with short dark blue hair, purple eyes and a relatively flat chest (of which she is extremely self-conscious). She dresses in fairly simple clothing.
When she's Cakey, she sports a blond wig kept in long pigtails and extremely thick "cakey" makeup which makes her unrecognizable. She also tends to dress more gaudily and is more comfortable showing skin.

Aina's personality changes drastically depending on whether or not she's her regular self or if she's in her Cakey get up. When she's normal, she's notably shyer and more soft spoken. She has low self-esteem when it comes to her appearance, especially the size of her breasts and she is extremely envious of Nanaka Kotegawa and Azusa Hamaoka as they both have extremely large busts. Aina is a bit more romantic compared to the other characters and she has noted that she seems to be the only person in the club who ever thinks about love and romance.
As Cakey, she is much more confident and bold, with excessive and flamboyant body language. She asks out Kouhei Imamura upon meeting him on account of his attractiveness and when drunk, she gets touchy feel and violent.


Grand Blue

Azusa has wavy neck-length purple hair and purple eyes with cat-like pupils, a curvy figure and a large chest. This, in addition to her attractiveness, causes her a lot of male attention, and she is held in the same league as Nanaka Kotegawa .
She is usually seen in casual summer wear, like shorts, t-shirts and tank tops. When drinking with the members of the club, she usually strips with them, though she never gets fully naked and still wears a bra and bottoms.

Azusa has a very playful and mischievous personality. Unlike the other female characters, she regularly drinks with the male members of the club , strips alongside them and parties hard with them while taking part in their outrageous antics. Ryuujirou Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita mention that there is no use treating her like a lady, as she is very brazen and audacious (she had no problem taking off her clothes and going to sleep in the same room as Kotobuki, Tokita, Kouhei Imamura and Iori Kitahara , in which all four of them were naked). She can also be seen as shameless, as when she forgot her swimsuit for the Miss Izu contest, she simply went on in her underwear. She can also be shown being very perceptive as she can pick up the somewhat ridiculous logic behind situations that occur very well.
Azusa admitted (to Iori) that she is bisexual and stated that her ideal woman is Nanaka Kotegawa and her ideal man being Shinji Tokita .


Grand Blue

Chisa is of average height and build with short brown hair, brown eyes and she has been described as cute by other characters where Iori Kitahara has made several comments about her body, particularly her big butt, in which he calls "spectacular".
She has the second smallest bust among the female characters and although she is conscious of it, she isn't as concerned about her chest size as much as Aina Yoshiwara .

Chisa is initially seen as a level-headed and serious girl who takes her studies seriously. She is rarely seen taking part in Peek-a- Boo's drunken antics, usually sitting off and observing instead. Though this makes her seem cold, she actually avoids such antics because she is extremely weak to alcohol (this may be the normal reaction, as Peek-a-Boo's alcoholic beverages usually have above 90% alcoholic content).
She loves diving and is usually the most eager to do any diving related activity. She abhorred the example set by her fellow club members, and was quite hostile when her friends attempt to involve her in their antics. She is incredibly stubborn; once having set her mind on something being almost impossible to convince otherwise.
Despite being considered beautiful and getting hit on constantly in her university, Chisa is disinterested in romance.


Grand Blue

Nojima is a tall and self-proclaimed handsome young man with long black hair that has two bangs hanging on both side of his face, black eyes and he is always seen wearing black glasses.

Nojima is a self-styled playboy who is largely unsuccessful in attracting a lover. Although he tries to be charismatic, it usually comes off as lame.


Grand Blue

Iori is a young man with a fairly muscular medium build and straight hair that goes down to his neck. His young youthful face sometimes receives remarks about being cute. In the manga his hair is shown to be a dark blue color, however in the anime Iori's hair color can range from pure black to light blue. He has grey colored eyes in colored illustrations from the manga, while in the anime adaptation his eyes are violet colored. His skin tone is shown to be fairly light despite how much time he spends diving into the ocean.
Normally, his attire consists of a hoodie or jacket over a T-shirt. Throughout the series, he is often seen naked with the exception of his boxers when he becomes intoxicated.
In the live action adaptation of Grand Blue, Iori is portrayed by japanese actor Ryo Ryusei .

Iori was first depicted as a relatively normal boy just entering university who wants to lead a normal and peaceful school life. However, after joining the Peek-a-Boo diving club, Iori spent most of his days intoxicated, naked, and partying with the club members until the end of the anime and onward into the manga. He had become rather unorthodox as well, being generally loud and boisterous throughout the whole of the anime and manga series, while still displaying a kind and caring side. An example of such being when he stood up for Aina Yoshiwara when she was being picked on by the Tinkerbell tennis club, and how he defends Kouhei Imamura when he is insulted for being an otaku by Sakurako Busujima . While outwardly Iori appears to be selfish and driven by lecherous desires, it appears that inwardly he cares deeply for those close to him. Never hesitating to show concern for when one of his friends is in danger, and not being afraid to stand up for someone he feels has been wronged. Despite no initial interest and even an aversion due to not knowing how to swim, Iori quickly comes to love diving, describing the activity like a whole different world. Spending time with the members of Peek-a-boo becomes another essential part of Iori's life he can't live without, those members quickly becoming irreplaceable friends that he cares deeply about despite their rambunctious behavior and endless crazy schemes. Over the course of the series, Iori seems to have gained a sort of pride in his ability to hold his liquor down. Shown when he felt insulted as two foreign otaku's challenged both Kouhei and him to a drinking match. Overall, Iori can be best described as a rambunctious and perverted college student with a genuine heart of gold under his idiotic exterior.


Grand Blue

Fujiwara is a young man with short hair. His body is quite muscular. His most notable feature being his stern facial expression.

He stated that his lack of romantic relationships has led him to spend most of his free time at the gym, leading to his muscular body. Like the rest of his friend group, he enjoys AVs, desires to hook up with a woman, and refuses to let anyone within the group one-up him (to the point of sabotaging and torturing).
It is a running gag for Fujiwara to often be cut off from panels, or be absent from them altogether, as he is considered rather plain and forgettable, even among his friend group.


Grand Blue

Kouhei is a youthful man who is relatively lean and muscular. He has bright blonde hair that is swept to the right and dark gold eyes. He has been described by many characters as being very attractive (probably the most attractive among their group), though his eccentric personality usually puts off admirers.
He is usually seen wearing shirts sporting anime characters and when drinking with the diving club, he is usually naked or in his boxers.

Kouhei is a diehard otaku and is considered a lolicon by his friends. He is particularly obsessed with the little sister character trope (explaining his obsession with Shiori Kitahara ). While many are repulsed by his otaku lifestyle, he is indifferent to how he is perceived by others. He is also easily manipulated when bribed with things such as meeting with seiyuus . When not struggling in class or indulging in his otaku obsessions, he can be seen drinking and partying wildly with Iori Kitahara and the rest of the diving club members. Kouhei is quite introverted and cannot speak to newly met people, whether casually or professionally.
Several of his skills can also be attributed to his 2D hobbies, such as cooking, which he claims to be vital for a desirable male to have. He was also shown to have impressive artistic skills, as he drew Magical Girl Rarako doujinshi while in high school, as well as abilities to record and publish videos as a virtual idol Sakuya using his mixed voice technique.

Kudō is a handsome dark-skinned young man with short light blue hair and brown eyes.
He is often seen wearing Tinkerbell's uniform.

Kudō is an arrogant womanizer who would do almost anything to achieve his goal and he tends to mistreat those whom he considers lowly. However, he does have a kinder side, particularly when he became considerate to easily back down from disturbing Shinji Tokita and Ryuujirou Kotobuki 's quality time with their junior club members [1] , and when he agreed to vote in favor of Peek a Boo for the Izu Fall Festival's Mister Izu Joke Entrant upon hearing of Iori Kitahara and Kouhei Imamura 's intention to use the prize money for their senior's farewell celebration in exchange for their assistance in dealing with Hajime Nojima .

Nanaka is a very beautiful young woman with waist-length brown hair that has bangs hanging over her face, reddish-brown eyes, a very voluptuous figure with large breasts (just like Azusa Hamaoka ) and Iori Kitahara mentions that she has a "phenomenal ass" just like Chisa Kotegawa .
When not working as an instructor, she is usually seen in casual clothes, like dresses.

Nanaka is a very sweet, caring and nurturing woman who takes the role of the mother hen within the group. She doesn't usually take part in the group's drinking and partying, preferring to observe. Like Chisa Kotegawa , Nanaka loves diving and is a diving instructor. She has a very severe sister complex when it comes to Chisa and the only time in which she sheds her sweet image is when it comes to Chisa, particularly in relation to Iori Kitahara . Whenever Iori is mentioned to be Chisa's boyfriend, Nanaka becomes very hostile, frightening, and threatening, and would even resort to violence if necessary.

Naomi has shoulder-length blond hair that has bangs covering his forehead, brown eyes and a slight build.

Naomi is a fairly lively person who makes sure everyone has fun while diving.

Kotobuki is an imposing man, being significantly taller and more muscular than Iori Kitahara and Kouhei Imamura . He has spiky blond hair that he slicks back when working as a bartender.
His wardrobe usually consists of hoodies, t-shirts, shorts and pants, although he prefers to wear only boxers or be naked when possible.

Kotobuki is described as troublesome by Iori Kitahara as he and Shinji Tokita are usually the ones who initiate the partying and drinking. He is very boisterous and rowdy, although he does take diving seriously. As a bartender, he is very popular, as he does his jobs well and is a good listener when it comes to the troubles of his customers.

Sakurako often behaves quite politely in front of strangers and acquaintances. However, she can become sadistic and snarky to people that get on her bad side. Iori is her favorite target for bullying.

The heroine we need right now is someone like Earwig who can think for herself and act on her own. She's someone who can overcome the slightest setbacks and make her way through with wisdom rather than brute force. I think so. Earwig isn't interested in being mean to people or holding anyone back. She's not just manipulating people to make herself comfortable. She helps Bella Yaga teach her magic, and stays up all night if necessary. In order to get something, she takes action and makes an effort. And stand tough.

Cob is a very cruel individual, involved in the slave trade in Hort Town . He can be described as unfeeling and even malicious who desires to be the arch-mage, and is nearly as powerful as Ged , but is obsessed with finding out how to live forever. He has a hold over Lebannen to keep him under control, because he believes that he has a clue to living forever.
He usually talks in a soft and whispering voice, although this changes drastically into a livid shrieking tone later in the film or whenever he is angry.


Grave of the Fireflies

Jigen is a lean, olive-skinned man with dark brown-to-black, long-ish hair and a goatee. He wears a black suit and a fedora. He prefers to conceal his eyes using his hat, as it gives him a more enigmatic appearance; when one or both of his eyes are seen, it is occasionally used to demonstrate surprise.

Jigen is laconic and subdued, but can be mellow and easygoing when he feels like it. He worries about Lupin, even though he doesn't show it all of the time. Despite being more level-headed than Lupin, he cheerfully gets in on the action.
His conversation with Lupin at the end of the film contrasts with Part 1 Episode 11. While in the episode, when Lupin says the girl he saved, Lisa, was "nice", Jigen throws Lupin out of a boat in a huff and angrily tells him to go back there by himself, in the film Jigen remarks on how nice Clarisse was and kindly offers that Lupin go back to stay with her. This has shown that over the years, Jigen has had some character growth.

When flying, Dola wears a pilot's cap and goggles, and she sometimes wears a blue hat with a red band when dressing up.

Initially, Dola comes across as bossy, greedy and selfish, wanting nothing more than to get her hands on Laputa's treasures. Later, though, she is revealed to be a rather soft-hearted person and grudgingly grows fond of Sheeta and Pazu . Sheeta, in particular, reminds Dola of herself as a child. Dola's sons respect her greatly and always follow her orders, although they often forget to call her "captain" and just call her "Mom" instead.

Grave of the Fireflies

Fujimoto is slender and appears to be 40-years old, but he may have lived much longer. He claims he was once human, which implies he underwent some changes in order to become the wizard he is now. This may be a clue as to why he has strange, bird-like markings on his cheekbones and around his eyes.
He has long red hair like Granmamare and his daughters, with turquoise, almost green, eyes. He wears a very strange cerulean and white-striped suit with a magenta cravat. On his ears are golden, round earrings.
Near the end, he wears a similar white-striped suit, although this time the cerulean stripes are a salmon red, and the cravat is yellow.
Throughout the movie he wears a dark magenta coat with a gold clasp at the front. It's long sleeves have holes right where the inside of Fujimoto's elbow would be, and his arms are often through the holes.
When upon land, he uses a contraption he explains is a humidifier, to wet the ground with pure sea water as he is walking along it. This may imply he cannot go on land comfortably without it, or may have a risk of death without it. Also, when seen by humans, he is described as appearing very strange and perhaps shady, or to be avoided. This is only assumed, as he means no harm to humans although he seems to dislike them, especially with the waste they throw into the ocean.

Fujimoto is placed into the role of villain, but he is only ever acting in what he believes is best for Ponyo. However, he is strict to his daughter Ponyo, and it may come across as him trying to control his daughter rather than keep her safe. For Lisa he is kind of a creep, who mistakes him for spraying pesticide, which is actually the purest ocean water so he can survive on land.
In his core he is a good guy, who cares about his daughters. He is just over-pessimistic. He hates humans, because humans pollute the environment, and more specifically the sea. So he uses magic to purify the sea from the humans’ waste. For that purpose he creates potions and elixirs, which if mixed correctly he pours into a well in one of the rooms in his underwater harbour. Because of humanity's destructive behavior, he becomes over-pessimistic. His wife, Granmamare adds more optimism to his mind.
The seniors get to know him better as the story progresses. For them, Fujimoto is a nice guy with strange behaviours, and one claims that he wouldn't allow anyone to be harmed.

Grave of the Fireflies

Granmammare is a sea goddess, capable of changing her humanoid form at will. She initially appears enormous; possibly as big as, if not bigger than, a Blue Whale. She appears to others in a bathed glow with a warm, golden light, possibly produced by luminescent plankton. She resembles a very beautiful woman with impossibly-long, red hair, brown eyes, and a kindly face. The cyan robe she wears seems to merge with the sea when she swims, and it is unknown if she has feet, or simply floats freely when she stands. She also seems to be made of water as when she touched Fujimoto with a translucent hand.

Grave of the Fireflies

Haru wears a brown trousers and orange shirt with beige apron. She wears green glasses and has short, messy brown hair. Her skin is white and she's fairly plump.

However, her true personality is shown as she gets more suspicious about the "little people" living inside of her home. Her paranoia grows and grows as strange things kept happening in her house, especially with Shawn wondering over the place she stays. However, when she eventually actually finds one of the "little people" who is Arrietty's mother, Homily, she kidnaps her. Hara's greed gets the best of her and even locks Shawn in his room so she wouldn't have her plan foiled, although this fails. It's not for certain what she wanted to do with Arrietty's family, but she calls the "Squeaky Clean Pest Control" so they could be contained.
Hara also reveals to be a bit dimwitted, most likely from her old age. Shawn's Aunt Jessica points out that she accidentally yet quite frequently parks her car in the middle of the driveway, despite many times Jessica had to tell her not to park it there.


Grave of the Fireflies

Howl is a young, handsome man with bright blue eyes and hair that reaches below his chin. At the beginning of the film, his hair is blonde, but because of an incident while Sophie is cleaning Howl's bathroom, he briefly comes to have orange hair, before it finally turns black. In the novel, Howl has natural brown hair; Calcifer describes it as "mud-colored."
Throughout the film, he is seen wearing a plain white shirt and dark pants, with a plaid coat in red and a blue-ish shade of grey, which has yellow rims and sleeve ends. Howl barely uses the sleeves at all and instead lets the coat loosely hang on top of his shoulders. Additionally, he wears a pendant around his neck.
In times of danger, he is shown making use of his magical abilities by turning himself into a bird-like creature. His body is then completely covered in black feathers, the only space not affected being the main part of his face. Two black broad wings are shown either on his back or in the place of his arms when he uses them to fly.

At the beginning of the movie, Howl is known as rather flamboyant and rumored to have a wicked personality. A rumor that has begun to spread among the residents of Market Chipping even say that he is searching for beautiful, young women whose hearts he may steal and subsequently eat, or that he will devour their souls. He appears rather vain, as well as confident, and does not really seem to care about a lot of others besides himself. Unlike these rumors, he is kind enough to let Sophie clean the castle.
As time goes on, his actual personality comes to light, which is that of an endearing, charming and intelligent young man, who, unfortunately, has a tendency to be stubborn and dishonest, as well as to become secretive when it comes to his own life. He commonly avoids getting involved in uncomfortable situations or those which require his committed participation. His vanity is also a very distinct trait, as he is easily irritated if something about himself looks off.
