Mako is a very young girl, always seen in a knee-high dress with thigh-high socks and sensible shoes. Her hair is short, but is styled into the beginnings of twin tails, one to either side of her head, and secured with ornamental hair-clips that resemble paired pearls. She usually has a purse or schoolbag of the type that is worn with a sash slung over her shoulder, and she is adept at using this as a projectile weapon. In the 1981 anime, she has brown hair, whilst her dress is green and her bag is yellow.

Mako has a strong will, an abundance of confidence, and a fiery temper, very similar to Ten or Lum. Having decided she is in love with Ten, she refuses to take no for an answer from him on the subject of their relationship. She claims to be bashful and reserved, but in reality she is extremely aggressive, quick to literally bring Ten down to earth with a well-aimed handbag or a blow from a piece of dried bamboo. Like Ten, she is bright, but still quite clueless about the way the world works - as seen by her belief that giving Valentine's Chocolate to a boy makes them husband and wife, and that refusal to accept this could see a boy executed by the police. This lack of awareness in no way shakes her confidence in her own beliefs, as wrong as they may be.

Mendō's Grandfather's true face is never seen as he always conceals it behind a red octopus mask, a sign of his great admiration for octopi due to the adorable cephalopods being the family symbol of the Mendō clan and the mask itself being the family's most treasured heirloom. What little is seen of his head is that it is of a clearly elderly man with a balding head. His face has only been seen once where it was that of a very elderly and homely bald man with large eyebrows and a larger mustache, so homely in fact that its no wonder he wears a mask.

Like most of the Mendō clan, Mendō's grandfather is rather eccentric, forgetful and is prone to exaggeration and emotional outbursts, even treating the most mundane things dramatically. However unlike most of the Mendō household, he has a very positive relationship with his grandson Shūtarō and dotes on the boy when possible, even crying and fearing for his grandson's safety over simple matters, and Shūtarō in turn cares for his grandfather but will nonchalantly cause him physical harm for no apparent reason or even curse him behind his back for his incredible senility.


Urusei Yatsura

Mrs. Mizunokōji is a very classically beautiful woman with a distinct star-shape pupil, a trait passed on to both of her children. It is noted that her face seems to be perpetually locked in a polite, mildly amused, smiled, regardless of her actual emotional state at the moment, something that leads to her often needing to clarify how she's actually feeling.
When she is angry, her head is depicted as swelling to a massive size and ominiously staring down the cause of her anger, usually Asuka. This gag does appear with other characters, but it is particularly synonymous with Mrs. Mizunokōji.

Mrs. Mizunokōji appears to be a traditional "Yamato Nadeshiko", or classic Japanese beauty; gentle, demure, polite, and soft-spoken. Under that soft and frilly exterior lies a heart of steel; she is prone to fiery outbursts of temper when enraged, and can be very ruthless, even towards her own children. She values tradition greatly, having brought up her daughter in total isolation from men to ensure her purity. She is strong-willed, and clearly the dominant figure in the household, with both her children being terrified of her wrath. She doesn't admit defeat easily.
Her single greatest quirk is that, in the manga, she has a rather warped idea of what constitutes "handsomeness", to the point she dismisses Ryūnosuke Fujinami , widely regarded as the best looking boy (despite being a girl) at Tomobiki High School , as "not being much of a looker".


Urusei Yatsura

Mujaki is a short little dream demon dressed in red with a top hat and little black spectacles. His overall appearance is that of a very short and rotund humanoid with a large overbite, silver hair, a pudgy belly and oddly enough a small horn underneath his top hat which conceals his true otherworldly origin. Overall his appearance resembles that of a stereotypical magician dressed in red, and like a magician he carries confetti and streamers with him when necessary.
When he first appeared, he was slightly taller and had green hair and a longer horn, making him resemble an oni. His outfit was also not red, instead he wore a pink coat with white hearts and blue pants, but his hat was still the same color but he also sported red shoes. He also did not have an overbite in his first appearance.
When he was seen for Ryūnosuke Fujinami 's big duel with her father, Mujaki sported a black version of his crimson outfit.

— Mujaki

Mujaki is an eccentric and jolly being who enjoys making dreams and nightmares for others, but as time went on he began losing his passion for creating dreams, causing him to want to retire, that was until he met Lum who he instantly fell in love with and wanted to create the ideal dream world just for her as his ultimate masterpiece. In the end though, Ataru's efforts and Lum's love for Ataru made Mujaki give up on that endeavor, and it can be presumed that he either chose to begin living in the real world or returned to making dreams afterwards.
Mujaki takes great delight in making dreams with his dream eggs, but this leads him into eternal conflict with his constant companion and adversary Baku with whom he shares a very conflicting and unique relationship. Baku is pure anathema to Mujaki in that while Mujaki creates Baku only destroys. Mujaki can create highly detailed dream worlds but in the end all will eventually be consumed by Baku causing Mujaki to think of Baku as nothing more than a gluttonous good for nothing. Despite this adversarial relationship, Mujaki and Baku are for some reason inseparable, with Baku acting as a sort of pet to Mujaki, often being in his company or riding atop Mujaki's head in private, and Mujaki actively going out of his way to feed Baku nightmares he doesn't like. Showing that the two exist in a sort of dualistic balance of both companionship and hostility that are necessary to each other. This is further proven by how Mujaki's attempts at creating the perfect dream world for Lum and keeping Baku pacified prove fruitless as the dream world begins to fall apart and decay on its own and in the end it was necessary for Baku to devour it as began to turn more nightmarish.
According to Sakura 's Encyclopedia of Evil Spirits for miko priestesses and sorceresses, the text classifies Mujaki as a being of pure evil, either being a demon or an incarnation of the Devil himself and credits him as being responsible for some of the world's greatest evils and betrayals, some of which are listed below:

Starting an untold number of bloody wars. Drove the fair and poetry-loving Emperor Nero insane, turning him into a bloody tyrant and had him burn down all of Rome. Tricked the faithful apostle Judas Iscariot into betraying his lord Jesus Christ to the Romans for silver. Forged the temptation of lust within Gautama Buddha's mind to keep him from harvesting the tree of knowledge. Transforming the shy art student Adolphus Hitler into the tyrannical national socialist dictator and starting World War II. Manipulated Marcus Junius Brutus into assassinating his emperor and closet friend Julius Caesar ( Et tu, Brute? ). Tempted Eve into convincing Adam to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of good and evil.

However Mujaki himself clarifies that he is not the Devil or even a demon despite his evil-sounding name, claiming that he simply knows magic unlike ordinary humans and he has lived longer than them, elaborating that he was not responsible for causing those people to turn evil as they already had evil in their hearts before he made dreams for them, although he is aware that his actions and long lifespan do make him seem evil. Still he claims that while he did make dreams even for evil and traitorous humans, the dreams he makes are based on the desires of his subjects, not his own, so his dreams are merely corrupted by the evil or temptation that was already present within those humans. So if a person has an evil dream it was only because of their own evil desires corrupting the dream, although Sakura still considers him the catalyst for creating the dreams they wanted in the first place. Mujaki is aware of this though and is upset that he is only known for his evil nightmares rather than his good dreams, but he admits that it is to be expected as all his good dreams, no matter how well intended they are, always end up turning into twisted or evil nightmares that will inevitably be devoured by Baku. Even the perfect dream world he created for Lum and her friends ultimately proved unsustainable as it began to fall apart and become more nightmarish despite his best efforts.
While he claims to not be evil, Mujaki comes off as childish and selfish at times, and while he is incapable of actually killing anyone within his dreams, he prefers to seek revenge by scaring victims or trying to keep them sleeping. He ultimately does not mean any harm but seems to suffer from a severe case of shortsightedness and an equally short temper that often clouds his judgement. His love for Lum in particular drove him to some rather dark decisions, such as trying to keep her and her friends trapped in their ideal dream worlds and ultimately taking the place of Ataru in Lum's life, but in the end it seemed he learned to understand their bonds and was content with simply watching their own dreams unfold.
Notably, Mujaki sees no difference between Dreams and Reality, having been born within the realm of dreams, dreams are just as real to him as reality is to mortals, comparing it to the philosopher Chuang Tzu's dream of being a butterfly which could just as likely have been a butterfly dreaming that it was Chuang Tzu. Unlike reality though, he admits that in dreams things can be done over and over again with no end and mistakes can be undone, claiming that it is more fun to live a life of many good dreams than a single real life, especially when the dividing line between dreams and reality is thin when one takes into account the bizarre nature of the world and most notably Tomobiki .


Urusei Yatsura

Nagisa has dark blue eyes and long brown hair, which is secured at the back with a yellow ribbon. His bangs fall lightly on his forehead, covering his eyebrows and two strands of hair hang down from his ears. He is almost of the same height as Ryūnosuke and is shown wearing a sleeveless yellow full-length frock.

Just like his appearance, Nagisa's character also resembles that of a girl, the exact opposite of Ryūnosuke's, who has a male-like appearance. He is showcased to be soft and polite, and tends to get very emotional at times. He falls in love with Ryūnosuke on their first encounter itself and tries to get a kiss from her, so that he can rest in peace.
In contrast to his fiancée, Nagisa is dutiful, obedient and respectful towards his father. He was so devoted to his father that he willingly ate himself to death trying to perfect the recipe for sea urchin kakigori to honor his father. That he never once considered that sea urchin kakigori would probably be a terrible seller suggests he is rather naïve and overly optimistic in some senses.


Urusei Yatsura

Mr. Shiowatari is a plain-featured but not ugly man, with a slender build and a small mustache. He dresses similarly to Mr. Fujinami , except he covers his head with a bandanna, wears round rimless glasses, and his shirt says "I (heart) sea urchins" instead of "I (heart) the sea".

Mr. Shiowatari is simultaneously very similar to and yet the complete opposite of his good friend, Mr. Fujinami . Like his friend, Mr. Shiowatari is shown to be deeply delusional about his child's gender, insisting that Nagisa Shiowatari is a "very late blooming" girl and ignoring all evidence that Nagisa is a boy. He also shares Mr. Fujinami's terrible business sense; he was eager to set up his Hamachaya on a remote and little-visited island, never once considering that such a location would see few if any customers, and when trying to think up a gimmick to make the Hamachaya more attractive, he set his mind on sea urchin-flavored kakigori, which would taste absolutely disgusting and no customers would want. He is also foolishly stubborn, literally eating himself to death trying to perfect his sea urchin kakigori recipe.
At the same time, though, Mr. Shiowatari is shown to be a very pleasant and affable individual; he is friendly and polite towards others, and a loving, gentle father to his son despite his delusions about Nagisa's gender. He is never violent towards Nagisa, and makes it very clear he wants his child to be happy, a far cry from Fujinami's physical abusiveness and selfishness. He even gives up his own chance to return to life and makes Nagisa take it instead, an act that comforts him enough to let him pass on to the afterlife.
He is shown to have a bit of a prankster's side as well; when the group first meet him, he tries to spook them by pretending to be a more conventionally scary ghost, and Nagisa comments on his father's love of playing jokes.

Oyuki usually wears a long white kimono with lingerie of ice underneath.

Though very calm and polite, she has a frighteningly cold-hearted personality. She is a miser queen and always carries her account book with her in order to manage her finances and always manufacturing and marketing special products from Neptune, including sherbert /bird hybrids and windchimes that cool houses during the summer. She also happens to be the strongest character in the series. She has been known to flash-freeze those who anger her, something that is very difficult to do.

Pochi resembles a small amphibious creature with wide eyes, a round nose, blue skin, a lighter-colored belly and a small tail. He has two small fins on the side of his head which may or may not be his ears. Overall he somewhat resembles a chubby axolotl.

Pochi is a very friendly and humble creature who suffers from severe loneliness and simply wants someone to talk to and spend time with him. Because of his need for company he tends to be quite clingy which will make him oblivious to the feelings of those around him who may find his clinginess annoying, he may even be oblivious to his "visitors" drowning when he forces them to stay in his underwater living room. Regardless Pochi means no harm and will do his best to be accommodating to visitors, and while initially intrusive when he moved into Ataru's bathroom for a while, he had no issue with Ataru's Mother tying him up in a net and kicking him out, understanding that he had outstayed his welcome and warmly accepted his eviction. Thankfully this would lead to him accidentally finding a new and happier home with a very loving family who adopted him as a pet and have shown to be very accommodating to his needs.
He also has romantic feelings for a blowfish named Mimiko at an aquarium, loving her enough that he was willing to abandon his human family in order to be with her as they could not afford another pet; in the end though his family loved Pochi enough to allow him to take Mimiko back home.

Ran is considered to be a rather beautiful young woman with curly magenta hair and magenta colored eyes. When she becomes angry her appearance oodly changes to somewhat resemble a oni alien gaining sharp teeth and pointy ears. For her attire she wears a pink maid dress with a white apron, white leggins and red shoes.

Ran tends to act very cutely in public. She shows a sweet, child-like and rather elegant side when she is happy but when she becomes suspicious or even angry her personality turns into complete opposite being violent, rowdy and tomboyish. When she was a child she was usually violently punished by her mother which could have traumatized Ran to develop her split personalities. She shows her anger and suspiciousness towards Lum, who she believes wants Rei back. Ran is desperately in love with Rei and is jealous of Lum, as Rei is in love with her. She apparently did not develop her sweet persona until sometime after she fell out with Lum, as Lum is shocked to encounter it when Ran first arrives on Earth. (It seems likely that she took it up in the hopes of wooing Rei back.) When Lum asks her why she does not simply act naturally, she replies that if she were to break character even once it would destroy the credibility of her newly adopted personality. Hilariously, Ran is wrong—boys are so captivated by it that they never seem fazed at all no matter how many times they witness her harsher side resurfacing.

Rei was engaged to Lum before the start of the series, but she called it off because she now hates him due to his arrogance, his ugly transformation and his greedy glutton habits. When he first arrives, he still is in love with Lum, and tries to get her back from Ataru but only for her telling him to get lost. However, his interest in her eventually waned.

Ran

Ran was in love with Rei, just as Lum was. When Rei was engaged to Lum, Ran's heart was broken, and she dedicated herself to revenge on Lum. Eventually, due to Lum having no interest at all in him, Ran decided to pursue Rei for herself, eventually getting him to fall for her.

Kurama

Kurama fell for Rei while searching for a husband to replace Ataru. However, despite her Tengu servants' best efforts to hide it, she discovers his Ushitora form and is horrified causing Kurama of dumping Rei eventually just like when he was dumped by Lum.

Ryōko is a beautiful girl with thigh-length brown hair that is always tied in the back by different colored bows with square bangs covering her forehead and brown eyes.

Ryōko is portrayed as a kind hearted, innocent, caring and loving girl but is in all actuality a sadistic, arrogant, mischievous and manipulative person. She takes great pride in tormenting people especially her older brother coming up with elaborate pranks and schemes to get her way.


Urusei Yatsura

Ryūnosuke is usually wearing a gakuran like her male peers and a sarashi. Wanting nothing more than to be more feminine, she is saving up money to buy a bra and sailor suit, in the belief that bras cost several thousand yen (most probably thanks to her father). At one point, Shinobu Miyake promised to buy her a bra if she posed as her boyfriend in order to scare away gang leader Sōban ; but as usual, Ryūnosuke's father interfered.

Ryūnosuke's personality is surprisingly complex, shaped extensively by her background and the demented influence of her father.
At her best, Ryūnosuke combines some of the best attributes of womanhood and traditional Japanese manhood. She is confident, kind, compassionate, forthright and honest. She has a personal code of honor that she takes very seriously; she will not strike other girls, and she considers her word to be her bond. She sticks up for those who are in need, and can be surprisingly chivalrous; girls flock to her as much for her "gentlemanly" attitude as for her androgynous beauty when dressed in her usual apparel. In many ways, she's a better "man" than her father, who is dishonest, sneaky, an incorrigible liar and never upholds his promises.
At her worst, however, Ryūnosuke can be quite thuggish. She has a short temper and speaks quite coarsely when angered. She favors a direct approach and, when not dealing with girls, she is quick to resort to violence. She often expresses her anger by throwing things or hitting whoever has made her angry. When she gets worked up, she can forget about little details and act impulsively, such as when she tries to steal Shinobu's bra at the end of their abortive date. She is at her worst when interacting with her father, whom she considers her bitterest enemy.
Ryūnosuke's honorable nature can be something of a weakness. She has at least twice put herself at a disadvantage because she couldn't take what she considered a dishonorable approach; she refused to wear the sailor suit that Class 2-4's boys got for her because she felt she had to succeed at her father's challenge to beat him first, and agreed to return to harsh training in the mountains after her father beats her in a duel with a cheap trick.
Whilst Ryūnosuke can be more worldly than her father, such as recognizing the foolishness of setting up a beach cafe on a deserted island four miles offshore from the nearest village, she can also be quite naive. Her father has repeatedly tricked her since she was a young age in order to not have to share delicious foods like chocolate or cake, although she has grown to recognize these were lies as she aged, and on her first Valentine's Day at Tomobiki High, is able to successfully trick her into believing that eating chocolate gifted to her by a girl on Valentine's Day will make her turn into a boy.
She also hates to be touched, due to the constant physical abuse she received from her father's hands growing up.
Perhaps the most notable aspect of Ryūnosuke's personality is her relationship with femininity. Ryūnosuke is deeply unhappy with being forced to dress and act like a boy, and yearns to be a woman - to dress like a girl, act like a girl, and recognized as a girl by others. Her great issue, besides her father's active and ongoing interference, is that she simply doesn't know how to act like a lady. It deeply troubles and annoys her when others mistake her for a boy, typically eliciting an angry confession - she even repeatedly endures attacks from Asuka Mizunokōji in her drive to correct the androphobe's mistaken impression ofRyūnosuke's gender.
Early in the series, she goes on a "date" with Ran hoping that she can learn to be more ladylike from her, and her efforts to acquire girl's clothing are a recurring element in her stories. She holds a deep admiration and envy for other girls, and idealizes proper feminine behavior; somewhat hypocritically, she is shown to look down on tomboyish girls, as seen when she first meets Benten . When her sarashi is stolen whilst bathing one night and a sweet potato vendor addresses her as "young miss" for the first time ever, Ryūnosuke is ecstatic, forcing him to repeatedly call her that term, and even resolves to never wear her sarashi breast-bindings again... though she is forced to give up on this when it causes the Class 2-4 boys to amp up their perverted behavior.
It's brought up in her first meeting with Ten that she literally doesn't know how to act around kids because her only memories of "expressing love" are from her father doing things like yelling at her and giving her noogies, something that also becomes apparent when she attempts to duel Benten in a contest of womanhood. It's called out by Ataru Moroboshi that she has no grasp of the womanly dialect of Japanese, and when she is initially presented with flower arranging implements during her brief feud with Benten , she has no comprehension of what they're supposed to do with them.
In short, Ryūnosuke hates being seen or treated as a boy and wants to be seen and treated as a girl... unless that means enduring the lecherous attentions of Ataru or the other perverted boys of Tomobiki High.
Relating to this is Ryūnosuke's attitudes towards romance, which are very mixed. She doesn't like being touched, and this isn't helped by the fact that it most frequently comes when Ataru or some other guy is trying to get gropey. When Shūtarō Mendō asks her to be his girlfriend, she flat out declares that she isn't interested in boys. When Sakura asks Ryūnosuke about her first love, Ryūnosuke's immediate response was that it was a female teacher she had as a small child, and when she thinks of other people she really liked, she realizes they were all girls. She has been on dates with both Ran and Shinobu Miyake , although with ulterior motives both times - to study feminine behavior and after being offered a bra to do so, respectively. She even nearly kisses Shinobu on their date, although when Shinobu slaps her, Ryūnosuke clarifies that she got carried away in her excitement at finally owning a bra.
At the same time, Ryūnosuke has also expressed that she is not attracted to girls. When discussing her first love with Sakura , she clarifies that the girls she liked, she liked in a non-romantic sense, and even declares that if she had to think about it, she would like a guy who is "tough and wild as the ocean, and stronger than me", which leads to her agreeing to duel the boys of Tomobiki High School to see if she can find one who measures up. She is annoyed by the fact that the girls at Tomobiki shower her with love letters and Valentine's Day chocolates despite knowing that she's a girl, regarding it as yet another attack on her fragile sense of femininity. When Ran kisses her, she freaks out, and fights to prevent Ran from giving her a second kiss to restore her drained strength, even having a minor breakdown when Ran succeeds. She is repulsed when magnetic lipstick nearly compels her and Lum to kiss, fighting to avoid making lip contact. She rejects the idea of becoming Kurama's husband, especially if that means turning physically into a boy. When she meets Nagisa Shiowatari , she rejects her fiancée's pleas for a kiss because she abhors the thought of kissing someone that she believes at the time to be another girl.
In conclusion, Ryūnosuke is a noble yet confused soul, torn between the womanhood she dreams of having and the manhood she has been forced to embrace.


Urusei Yatsura

Mr. Fujinami is a bizarre man with a rather angular and stern face that hardly changes expression too much unless extremely angered, injured or genuinely shocked, and even these instances are brief, with his eyes looking as if they're always squinting yet simultaneously glaring at anyone and everything he sees even when he's happy. He has unkempt and spiky black hair that is always facing his back as well as darker skin than his daughter. He and Ryūnosuke look nothing alike despite being parent and child, which even made other characters question if they were even related upon first meeting them.
For attire, he is almost always seen wearing a simple white shirt and pants combo with a brown haramaki tied around his waist, and for footwear he usually either wears a pair of geta or goes barefoot. He also tends to dress like an old woman when doing housework. Despite his obstinate refusal to allow his daughter to wear female clothes, Mr. Fujinami himself seems to own a suspicious amount of women's clothing that he occasionally wears, although he hypocritically claims that this is done to give Ryūnosuke a maternal figure in the absence of her mother or simply give their home a feminine touch, much to Ryūnosuke's frustration.

Mr. Fujinami is a very surreal, unhinged and completely moronic father figure who could only be described as completely insane, immoral, apathetic, remorseless, heartless, and delusional due to his personal dream of finding an heir to his unpopular and broken down beachside teashop for reasons that make sense only to him and which lead him to having an incredibly dysfunctional and hostile relationship with his daughter with whom he has tried to force himself and her into believing that she is a man despite all evidence to the contrary, going to ridiculous lengths to maintain the delusion by any means necessary despite failing to deceive his daughter with his constant lies.
Among his many maniacal and schizophrenic antics, he has gone as far as making all sorts of excuses and falsehoods for why his daughter is really a man, such as (just to name a few) claiming that Ryūnosuke suffers from delusion, that her boobs are swollen tumors or bug bites, that she has a crossdressing fetish, that her hourglass figure is a sign of malnourishment, or that her feminine appearance is a trick of the light. His most notable claim though was that the reason he forcefully raises Ryūnosuke as a man is because it was her mother Masako 's dying wish to have a strong son (with Mr. Fujinami further adding that he would give Ryūnosuke her mother's bathing suit on her 17th birthday as an apology for the many years of brutal treatment); in truth though Mr. Fujinami later implied that she was possibly alive by going on live television and begging her to come back, likely having made the whole thing up, and to top it off there was no bathing suit, just a cooking apron which he claimed was a bathing suit. Whether there was any truth to his claim of Masako wanting a son is unknown, but considering Mr. Fujinami's track record of constant lies and delusions, it was all likely made up and the fate of Ryūnosuke's mother is still a mystery (assuming there isn't far bigger lie going on), although he does regularly claim that Masako loved Ryūnosuke very much regardless and that he genuinely can't remember anything about Masako.
His delusions concerning Ryūnosuke's fair sex aren't entirely rooted in denial though, as he is aware that Ryūnosuke is a woman, keeping all sorts of women's clothes with him supposedly meant for Ryūnosuke and constantly promising her that she will get to wear them if she ever beats him in battle, but these are mostly used simply to torment Ryūnosuke and he will always find some way to break his promise or even cheat just to get his way, such as hide when things aren't going his way or putting sleeping drugs and paralyzing poisons into Ryūnosuke's miso soup on days when he wants an easy win over his daughter, causing Ryūnosuke to rarely have anything good to eat. He even goes as far as not giving Ryūnosuke an allowance so she can't buy anything girly without him knowing and worst still using Kurama 's alien technology to try and forcefully transform Ryūnosuke into a man without mercy, with Ryūnosuke even pointing out his own complete lack of sympathy and morality for his daughter during the pursuit. Mr. Fujinami has even gone out of his way to stitch the symbol for manhood on most of Ryūnosuke's clothes and even mark her down as male on all her official documents, and if it were possible, Mr. Fujinami would likely even remove all instances of Ryūnosuke being female from this website!
Despite all of this and his insistence on Ryūnosuke needing to act and dress like a man, Mr. Fujinami tends to dress like a woman himself for reasons that make sense only to him, often dressing up like an old house maid when cleaning his home claiming that it is to give their home a feminine touch and give Ryūnosuke a maternal figure to look up to in the absence of her mother (even giving Ryūnosuke permission to call him mother while wearing a dress with the symbol for womanhood in contrast to Ryūnosuke's outfits) or simply putting on women's clothes as a cheap form of disguise or for no reason at all, either doing this as another method of tormenting Ryūnosuke or he ironically has the cross-dressing fetish he often accuses his daughter of having.
Lying about Ryūnosuke's womanhood isn't his only constant, as Mr. Fujinami is a chronic liar and deceiver who lies about all sorts of things at almost every opportunity ever since Ryūnosuke was 1 year old, either for his own benefit or for no reason other than to just wanting to bully Ryūnosuke or enjoy personal comforts to himself (such as tasty food) without having to share due to their poverty-stricken lifestyle. Among his many lies include:

Claiming Christmas and other holidays don't exist so he doesn't have to buy Ryūnosuke presents. Claiming chocolates are actually "choke-a-lots", a deadly poison made from cow's blood that Ryūnosuke should never eat while secretly eating chocolates himself so he wouldn't have to share. Claiming that he's a woman just to mess with Ryūnosuke. Claiming that him pushing Ryūnosuke down and bullying her as an infant was how you hold a baby, resulting in her almost doing the same to Ten . Claiming cakes don't exist while eating cake right in front of Ryūnosuke and claiming it was cold medicine. Claiming parfaits are only safe for girls to eat and never allowing Ryūnosuke to see one. Claiming a victory through cheating is still a victory, which Ryūnosuke has sorrowfully come to believe. Claiming that Ryūnosuke (when she was only 1 year old) has to work at the family beach shop because she's a boy, almost freezing to death during winter despite no one going to the beach during winter. Claiming that staying warm by a cozy fire and relaxing under a blanket during a harsh winter season is training while Ryūnosuke endures actual training with no warmth. Claiming that being given St. Valentine's candy from a girl will magically transform Ryūnosuke into a man. Claiming that expensive and tasty matsutake mushrooms are actually deadly evil mushrooms that would kill Ryūnosuke if she didn't duck and cover just so he could eat them when she wasn't looking, having put her through this routine regularly for 10 years. Claiming Ryūnosuke's mother is either dead or alive on a regular basis, possibly lying about how he met her and destroying all evidence that she ever existed, with the possible implication that she actually left him, assuming he isn't suffering from delusions and denial.

Ryūnosuke has pointed out that her father has a very sick sense of humor, with Mr. Fujinami considering some of his lies and attempts to bully Ryūnosuke jokes or a form of pranking. A more disturbing trait that possesses the already disturbed Mr. Fujinami is Ryūnosuke's belief that her father may be an incestuous pervert. What leads Ryūnosuke to this suspicion are instances where her father walks in on her when she's bathing or changing clothes, with Mr. Fujinami simply claiming that since they are both men (in his own deluded mind) then there should be no issue with a father seeing his naked "son" which is soon followed by Ryūnosuke beating the daylights out of him. Or when Mr. Fujinami was revealed to have been hiding in Ryūnosuke's dressing room during the Tomobiki High Beauty Contest while she was changing into a bikini, although he claims that this was to make sure that she didn't take off her chest wrappings. He also tends to occasionally grab, grope or poke at Ryūnosuke's breasts when reminding Ryūnosuke of her "swollen tumors" or "oversized bug bites", even going so far as wanting to rub salve on her breasts with his own bare hands in order to "stop the swelling" much to Ryūnosuke's disgust. Or when the girly bathing suit he finally gave to his daughter was nothing more than a skimpy apron. Or how he never allows Ryūnosuke to go out with boys, often acting as her only escort to any event and even participating in a contest that was meant to find an ideal man for herself, which he incidentally ended up winning and may have revealed that Ryūnosuke developed a bit of an unnerving electra complex due to wanting a man similar to her father (a matter which was made even worse during a heart-related incident ). However in all of these instances Mr. Fujinami maintains his deadpan expression and never shows any sign of arousal or nosebleeds like other perverted characters, suggesting that he is either good at hiding his emotions or that he's just being his usual deluded self with no awareness of how inappropriate his idiotic actions are. Ryūnosuke considers these to be his most sickest jokes.
Mr. Fujinami notably has a very unusual and deep seated hatred of the ocean yet at the same time has a strong affinity towards it that defies explanation, traits which he has passed onto Ryūnosuke and is one of the few things that they can both enjoy doing together without fighting (at least for more than a few seconds), with their mutual hatred of the ocean stemming from the high tide always damaging their beach shop and driving away customers for most of the year. He will often curse the ocean and throw insults at it, always encouraging Ryūnosuke to yell at the ocean alongside him with utmost discrimination or even try to physically fight the ocean to which even Ryūnosuke draws the line at and points out that it makes no sense as the ocean isn't a person that can be punched.

Saizō has the appearance of a slender, completely bald, clean-shaven old man, with tiny rimless glasses perched on his nose and largely toothless, sunken mouth. He normally dresses in a light t-shirt, straw hat, and long pants, befitting his role as a gardener. He has also been seen wearing an insulated anti-electricity suit and a "ninja costume", always with the same straw hat.

Saizō is a loyal and dutiful servant to his masters, with an old-fashioned respect for his betters. However, he is also notably senile, which primarily manifests in his recurring issue with confusing Shūtarō Mendō for Shingo , and vice-versa. It enrages him when he sees Shingo disrespecting his master, and he is quick to chastise him with blows to the head and kicks to the rear.


Urusei Yatsura

In her first appearance, she seems to be a beautiful young lady that happened to have the misfortune of running into Ataru Moroboshi. Unlike her mother and uncle, Sakura is tall and has long black hair. She also seems to have a lot of followers in the school due to this, most of whom purposely hurt themselves so that they can be treated by Sakura.

She looks nothing like her mother or Cherry, whom share the same face. She is very tall, slender, and beautiful, and is the object of affection for the male students of Tomobiki High School as well as Onsen-Mark . The students will even purposely injure themselves just to visit her in the infirmary. However, she is just a gluttonous as her uncle, but no matter how much she eats her body stays the same. Her explanation for this is that she is dieting (yet her proportions don't change and she continues to not gain weight). Also, she has the ability to summon ghosts and spirits through her training. Like Shinobu Miyake , she is capable of superhuman strength when angry.


Urusei Yatsura

Shingo has brown hair in the episode he first appears in, but in the OVA he has blue hair. He has a summer tan and a six pack.

Regular Outfit

In this outfit, Shingo is shirtless and wears only yellow and black tiger-stripe underwear and a brown headband. However in the OVA, his headband is red and his underwear is changed to green and black tiger-stripe. In the manga, he also has an anklet.

Ninja Outfit

Shingo wears the generic ninja outfit, minus the mask. However, instead of it being white or black, it is blue.

Shingo is fundamentally a friendly enough person, and is capable of being remarkably patient and sacrificing for somebody he cares about. A would-be romantic at heart, his upbringing has sadly left him with some major personality faults that alienate would-be girlfriends.
Shingo is enormously naive, due to having been brought up on old Japanese television broadcasts as his only human contact during his formative years. Whilst he becomes slightly less clueless after being reintroduced to his real grandfather, Saizō , he still has a bad tendency to mistake movies and television shows for real life and base his behavior off of things he sees in them, such as when he decides that touching Ryūnosuke Fujinami on the breast means they "have" to get married.
Shingo is determined at best, and stubborn at worst, showing his worst behavior when it comes to romance; Shingo doesn't know how to take "no" for an answer, and once he decides he likes a girl, it takes a tremendous effort (and considerable violence) to force him to give up on her.
Lastly, due to his isolated upbringing, Shingo has no real sense of deference; although he doesn't hate his assigned master, Shūtarō Mendō , he also doesn't really respect him, and nor does he have any personal interest in the tasks he assigns Shingo. This infuriates Shūtarō; that his supposed "ninja bodyguard" would rather laze around watching television than work for him is bad enough, but Shingo will openly mock or even fight with Shūtarō.

Shinobu is very short and skinny. She has short straight brown hair and black eyes (which were ironically stated by Lum). She usually wears her sailor-suit uniform as she is mostly seen in school. She however wears dresses and many t-shirts outside the school.

Shinobu usually acts like a cute, fragile teenage girl who isn't afraid to speak her mind. However, when her temper is pushed too far she gets violently mad, mostly lifting school desks and throwing them to others, her target usually being Ataru. Ataru and she have known each other since kindergarten and they had feelings toward each other in the beginning of the story. She even proposed to Ataru if he could win Lum. However, even though Ataru tried to meet and date Shinobu countless times, she always got disappointed or jealous of Lum, whom she disliked a lot.
After Lum and Shūtarō Mendō transferred into Tomobiki High, Shinobu started to lose interest in Ataru and grow more affection towards Mendō. She still gets disappointed by him as well, since everyone she actually likes seems to like Lum even more. When she forgets Ataru, she accepts Lum as her classmate, though not as her friend.


Urusei Yatsura

She wears a Chinese-style tunic and bun hairstyle (pink in the remake, black in the original).

Super Delicious Planet Golden Special Reserve Gorgeous Aftercare Kit #28 resembles a tall, handsome, roughly middle-aged human man wearing a stereotypical American superhero-style costume, with a mask that covers the upper half of his head, a full-bodysuit with integrated gloves and boots, a flowing cape, a belt, and even tights on the outside, similar to the classic costume of Superman. The bodysuit is covered with ornate designs, including kanji placards, a border resembling crashing sea waves on the hem of his cape, and an image of a turtle on his forehead, with a crane on either temple on his mask. The belt sports a buckle with two shachihokos on it, forming a pair of L shapes with their heads facing towards each other.

Super Delicious Planet Golden Special Reserve Gorgeous Aftercare Kit #28 presents himself like a mixture of a stereotypical Silver Age American superhero and a Japanese super sentai hero. He acts friendly and charming, talking of himself as a friend to all children and a protector of truth, justice, righteousness and compassion. Underneath it all, however, he is a swindler who preys on the gullibility of little kids, overawing them with his "coolness" before tricking them into taking his super-goods so he can charge their parents for a lot of money. He is very poor at deflecting attention from this side of himself, as whilst he initially pins the blame on his teammate Super Delicious Planet Golden Special Reserve Gorgeous Aftercare Kit #5, he ultimately reveals his true colors after Lum pointedly asks if the stuff he has given Ten is supposed to be free gifts.


Urusei Yatsura

Sōban is a large and monstrous-looking young man who even the usually polite Shinobu judges as looking like something not even human. He resembles what can only be described as an overweight and humanoid giant toad with a disturbingly large mouth with even larger grotesque lips that appear to be eternally swollen, along with an unnervingly thick and slimy tongue. His most unusual trait though is that (at least in some manga panels and in the 2022 anime) the inside of his mouth can change to reveal what can only be described as some sort of surreal glowing vortex that has small creatures floating around in it. The reason for this unusual phenomenon is unknown.
For attire, he is only ever seen wearing his school's uniform which he keeps unbuttoned, exposing his pink shirt underneath. His most defining article are his big round sunglasses that conceal his eyes.

Sōban is considered a dangerous school gang leader and possibly the strongest student in Butsumetsu High, but despite his destructive behavior and status he is actually a bit of a simpleton who is very emotional, being sensitive about his looks and feelings and being passionately fond of Shinobu, obsessively pursuing her any chance he gets hoping that she will go out with him some day.
His obsessive crush on Shinobu caused him enough grief that his gang was willing to beg and even pay Shinobu for the chance to just consider giving him a chance, as his gang is shown to genuinely care about their boss as a friend and were even willing to help Shinobu lie to their boss by pretending she already had a boyfriend in the hopes that it would help their lovestruck boss move on.
Sōban is also unsurprisingly a perverted lad like most young men in Tomobiki , passionately coveting what he thought was Shinobu's bra to console him after being rejected by her the first time and even licking Shinobu's face like a dog on another occasion when she thought she eluded him, showing that, along with his less than stellar intellect Sōban also has no concept of personal space or personal hygiene for that matter, being borderline animalistic at times, even acting out King Kong when he captured Shinobu after his duel with Lum and took her to the top of Tomobiki High's clock tower as he screeched like some dang dirty ape.


Urusei Yatsura

Ten has green hair with a small horn on the back of his head. He wears a yellow tiger-striped diaper.

When pretty girls are around, his behavior is remarkably similar to Ataru, although he masks it well in the guise of "I'm just an innocent baby", which shows how much of a child he still is. On the other hand, he behaves like a brat towards all of the male students of Tomobiki High School especially Ataru, thus earning the name "Jariten" from them. Whenever he is treated badly by Ataru or other male students in his class, Ten tends to get revenge on those who mistreat him to show them how badly he was hurt by them even if it means burying the Tomobiki school underground.
Ten is scared of his own mother, who is a firefighter and extremely strict towards pyromaniacs (ironically Ten can breath fire). He seems to be hiding this ability from her so he wouldn't get into trouble with her.


Urusei Yatsura

He is usually dressed in rags and has shaggy unkempt hair which covers one of his eyes. His eyes have stars in them, a parody of the "starry-eyed" heroes from 1960s and 70s sports manga such as Kyoujin no Hoshi . This appears to be a genetic trait of the Mizunokōji's, as even his great-grandfather and sister Asuka possess them.

Tobimaro dislikes women, and this seems to be due to his violent history since childhood with Ryōko . He also seems to lack some common sense as he is always misunderstanding things, such as when he declared the winner of his and Mendō's duel must "marry the other".


Urusei Yatsura

He's a little orange cat with stripes and an eye-patch.


Urusei Yatsura

Upa, like all Darkworlders, appears as a dark-skinned humanoid with a small, anglerfish-like bioluminescent bead-tipped tendril growing from his forehead. Upa is quite old and ugly, and sports a small, neatly trimmed mustache in two downwards-drooping halves to either side of his nose. He is also very short, being about waist-high compared to Lum.

Upa is selfish, ruthless, spiteful, and grudge-bearing. He thought it was hilarious to force a poor, starving traveler to gamble their life on getting either free food or a deadly poison, and then demanded the man's daughter for his bride in exchange for the antidote. He was enraged to learn the man didn't have a daughter, and vowed to claim his first female descendant instead. Despite going on to marry and have children, he never forgot this vow, and instead kept his promise for 120 years, "engaging" Lum to his great-grandson Rupa when both were born. When he deemed Lum old enough to be married, he came to her and demanded she honor her great-grandfather's promise; when she protested she was already happily engaged, he literally laughed it off as not being his problem, and later assisted in kidnapping her and arranging for her to be wed to Rupa against her will.
Despite his flaws, Upa does genuinely love his great-grandson and wants him to be happy. When Rupa chose to annul his "engagement" to Lum and marry Carla, Upa didn't protest, and formally declared Lum to be free.

Image Gallery

Daiba is very protective of his island and will go to great lengths to ensure its safety. This leads to him sometimes resorting to ruthless or violent tactics in order to protect the island's status quo.
Daiba is very passionate about video games. His favorite game is most likely the first version of Protoporos. He prefers simple games and believes the real enjoyment of video games comes from focusing on one game, playing alone, and playing the same game over and over.

Usogui

Kaji is often seen wearing hoodies and sporting short, black hair.
As Kaomi Takaji, he wears a bandanna, sunglasses, and a shirt that reads "Dear Me."

Kaji Takaomi was originally a very ordinary man before he met Madarame Baku with a typically trusting personality, for example he unknowingly signed a loan that would lead to a bunch of loan sharks coming after him, thinking that it would be fine. It can be said that his trusting personality is a bit naive, and his intelligence at this moment is definitely not that high.
However as he went through and experienced many life-threatening situations, his mentality strengthened. He grows and becomes more courageous against dealing with people like yakuza and Kakerou members, going as far as to trick a member using fake cards, despite all this, in the end hates killing people over gambles and allows them to live, even betting Marco to fight against a Kakerou member in order to safe a person whcih attempted to scam him.
As the series continues however, he even became so cunning to the point where he allowed someone's death during Bull's Womb , even suggesting that they go all out on a man with killing intent during Propotorus . However he only do these deeds when needed and usually won't do anything that could be considered a harm to others, infact he very well hates harming people.
Despite this, he had grown to be capable of killing when his life is on the line, at first denying the fact that he killed someone, but slowly he made up his mind to never kill someone, and become a gambler that doesn't take lifes.
Originally, he believes he will never be able to stand as Baku's equal, though he is fine with that. During the Contradiction Game , he vows to become Baku's equal.

Souichi is a young good-looking man, with a lean defined musculature, sharp pretty facial features and a distinct mole in the centre of his forehead. While assuming his normal role as the Royal Leader of Kakerou , Souichi has slicked back black hair, with a single distinctly long bang at the centre-front of his hair flowing backwards (in a manner identical to his father ). In his public guise as "Hachina Naoki", he lets his hair down messily, subtly hiding his mole in the process.
Prior to chapter 68, Souichi's face was shadowed in order to give a mysterious impression and displayed nigh-inhuman facial traits, mostly the shape of his eyes.
Image Gallery

Souichi has the view that due to "God's will" or "destiny", he will keep on winning gambles. Though his behavior often fluctuates, and he is capricious enough to not know what to do at times, he often resorts to childish behavior, making jokes or refusing to take orders from others.He have a big self- esteem,based on forcing him and Baku sitting with small pointed object chair when meet Vincent Lalo because Baku trick Lalo by put a small pointed object into his chair,or when he refuse Manabe Takumi help when he was suffering from Witch Pain torture.
Souichi feels immensely pressured by his duties and thus feels a need to be "perfect." In order to deal with the pressure, he developed a coping method where he loses stretches of his memories after making a mistake or finding himself in a bad situation. He then has to have them re-implanted by his attendants . [1]
Even as an antagonist, he is not "evil,” instead he has a strong sense of justice and hates both corruption and evil. When he sees Oofuna Gakuhito, a law-abiding man who also values justice, he resembles what he believes to be a man with a strong idea of justice, which is the reason most likely that Souichi quickly became friends with Gakuhito. However as the leader of Kakerou, he mostly cares for Kakerou benefitting more than other organizations and is still willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of Kakerou, such as using the existence of Karl's rockets and missiles neat Mount Fuji as proof that terrorist operations are happening behind the scenes, allowing Souichi to convince the politicians to create the ACIA (and to basically staff it exclusively with Kakerou people). In this scheme, while his goal was for the weapons to be launched, it was not meant to cause chaos and crash the stock market, but to cause enough fear in the politicians that they would agree with giving Kakerou power to stand above the police.
After losing his memory about his friendship with Baku and regaining it after the Air Poker arc, he recognizes that Baku was his “destiny rival” that he must defeat in order to become "perfect.” He believes that this exchange was destiny based on the Prince Bee story.

Image Gallery

Kiruma, much like many staff of Kakerou , had eccentricities underneath his harsh existence as a Referee.
