The Cat Returns

Ronja is slender 10-year-old girl. She wears a salmon tunic and yellow tights. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes.

Everyone in Mattis ' fort is fond of Ronja, and respects and cherishes her. As an only child, she is spoiled with love. It powerfully nourishes her growth into an empathetic, intelligent, and lively girl. She's often happy, sweet, and giggly. She naturally takes on some character traits from her parents even if polarizing, such as Lovis ' cool rationality in problem solving, but Mattis' big emotions in interpersonal matters.
She develops a lot of courage and fearlessness; the simple principle she obeys to "never be scared in Mattis' forest" extends itself from reckoning with supernatural creatures, to being able to overcome Hell's Gap. She also discovers a pacifist ethic within herself that drives major aspects of the story.
In her energetic and childish way, every spring Ronja loves to do her "spring yell". She stands in the open forest and joyfully screams at the top of her voice to let the drudgery of the past winter out of her system.


The Cat Returns

Satsuki has short, walnut brown hair and chocolate brown eyes (the eyes mostly appear black due to coloring and art style). She wears a tangerine skirt with tangerine suspenders, white bloomers, a sunshine yellow collared shirt, a sky blue pair of shoes, and a white hat (only worn in a few scenes).
In the second half of the movie she wears a yellow dress with white hems. During the end credits she has a yellow shirt and tangerine overalls on with a picture of a chibi Totoro embroidered onto the right leg. She is noticeably tall compared to her sister, and somewhat taller than a few of the children her age at her school.
Whenever she is inside the family household, Satsuki typically wears her choice of casual clothing or her pajamas during nighttime. Like her sister, she prefers to be barefoot when inside and/or around the house.

MISCONCEPTION: Satsuki does not wear a sky blue and carnation pink version of her normal outfit, the lighting is darker and changes the color pallete in the scene.

Satsuki is a bright and cheerful individual. She generally tries to be someone to look up to, most likely for her sister. She seems to idolize her mother's peaceful demeanor, and she even says that she wants her hair to cooperate to look like her mother's hair. Satsuki is hard working and intelligent, as shown when she is studying at school or helping out around her new home. She is also very open minded and pleasant towards people like Granny and even Kanta after getting to know his friendly side.

"I'm making this one for you, Mei."

Satsuki Kusakabe seems to be an independent and mature young lady. She does constantly feel grief and pressure, but does not let it show. The grief she feels for her mother being ill is only revealed towards the end of the movie when she breaks down in front of Granny. She also clearly feels very stressed to act like an adult and be a good role model for Mei.
Most of Satsuki's anger stems from Mei's contrasting irresponsibility. She gets easily frustrated, but is still a lovable character with good intentions.

The Cat Returns

At the beginning of the film, Setsuko is shown to have the average body. As the film progresses, however, she is shown to have lost a considerable amount of weight. When Seita Yokokawa takes her to the doctor, she lifts up her shirt to reveal her agonizingly-haggard stomach; her ribs clearly visible, as well. She has dark brown hair cut short above her ears and shiny, dark brown eyes. She wears an off-white polo shirt and blue monpe , and a hooded cape of the same color and pattern and off-white bloomers along with tabi socks and getas (clogs). She also wears a red dress, and a white seifuku with black shoes and short socks in various flashback scenes.
As a spirit, Setsuko glows with an orange light, she is surrounded by fireflies and she is healthy once again.

Although Setsuko is young and naïve, she is shown to gain a deeper understanding of life and death as certain events unfold throughout the film. When she finds the dead fireflies that prompts the question "Why do fireflies have to die so soon?" and figures out that her mother is deceased, it is clear that Setsuko's outlook on the cycle of life has been cemented into her still-developing mind.
Setsuko loved sweets and once tried to eat stones thinking that they were her favorite candy drops. She also had a deep connection to her brother where she was overall a sweet and happy child. She also loved eating rice for dinner, except if it is rice porridge.


The Cat Returns

Sho has navy blue/black hair and brown eyes.
He wears a white shirt and blue trousers, and is also seen wearing light blue pyjamas in the movie when it is his bedtime (he also wears a dark blue jacket when walking around in his pyjamas).

Sho is shown to be a quiet and very polite boy. However, he is initially listless and pessimistic about his operation, as he has no will to live, thinking that every living person will die, eventually, and he also has a low chance of survival from the operation.
This changes when he meets Arrietty , and he is inspired and amazed by her perseverance and strong will in rescuing her mother and thus gains the will to live on. It is shown in the very beginning of the film that he survives the operation, as he is reminiscing the time he met Arrietty.
In a director's interview, Hiromasa Yonebayashi describes him as "an ordinary 12-year-old boy," noting that he is younger than Arrietty who is 14, adding, "that adds a twist to the story." [1]


The Cat Returns

Spiller is dark skinned with white stripes on both sides of his cheeks. His hair is uneven and spiky, most likely showing he doesn't cut it. His height is not determined but he is shorter than Arrietty. He is slightly muscly and has a sharp face.
He wears a brown fur coat and brown clothing underneath. He usually carries a bow along with some arrows in case danger lurks around the corner.

He’s fairly polite, not really being rude to the family he interacts with. He is especially nice to Arrietty , maybe due to him having a crush on her.


The Cat Returns

Sōsuke is a 5-year-old boy who wears a sunshine yellow t-shirt and chocolate brown shorts, and white slip-on shoes. His hair is walnut brown with his hair shaven underneath. Also, he sometimes wears a sailor hat and binoculars.

Sōsuke is intelligent, smart, loyal, cute and heroic. He is willing to protect his friends (including Ponyo, starting from when she washes up on the shore near the house, stuck in a glass jar), even if doing so gets him in trouble with his mother or Ponyo's father (whom they hate).
He is interested in the sea, especially since his father is the captain of a ship. He also knows that Kōichi does his best for the family, as seen when Lisa gets angry at Kōichi and chides him for abandoning her family on a cliff.


The Cat Returns

The Forest Spirit looks like deer, but with plant-like antlers and a human-like face. [1]
It can transform into a gigantic, translucent humanoid during the night called the Night-Walker.


The Cat Returns

Gonta is a particularly stocky tanuki, with grey fur like Oroku's. He is distinguished by heavy black eyebrows, pockmarks on his face and tufts of scruffy fur on the top of his head. Like other clan elders, he has crow's feet around his eyes, and like most of the older males, he has a few whiskers on his upper lip that give the appearance of a mustache. His default clothing is a red vest with a single orange stripe across it. In his human form, which he only takes on a handful of times, he appears as a fat young man with short black hair, stubble on his chin, a red T-shirt similar to the vest of his tanuki form and pale blue jeans. When he leads an attack against the humans and takes a human form, he wears a red raincoat with a stripe a different shade of red across it, red trousers the same colour as his raincoat, and black boots.

Gonta is hotheaded and pugnacious. His wife is Otama, a docile, doting tanuki who worries about him constantly but is strong enough to fend off his attempts to woo her.
Gonta is combative and loves to argue with others. He threatens violence on tanukis who oppose his actions. In contrast, Shoukichi respects the opinions of other tanukis; for the most part, Shoukichi even listens to Gonta's ideas.
Both sides of their argument have valid points. While Shoukichi is right in that hurting humans is excessive, in retrospect he admits that Gonta was right on a couple of things. Gonta accurately observed that the developers are relentless and will become desensitized to hauntings if it means making a profit. He was also right that they were just wasting time by debating after the failure of Operation Specter.
He loves to assert power, but he's sensitive to criticism and will lash out if his ego is slighted in any way.
He leads the Red Tanukis to eliminate all humans, but all mentions of humans' food cause him to soften his approach a little. He really hates lazy tanukis. However, he, hypocritically, gets bored easily and would sometimes get distracted by a hamburger or doze off during important meetings.
Though he is proud and selfish, he respects Oroku and the Transformation Masters, and joins in on the celebration of Master Hage's birthday.

In his first introduction in the film, the River Spirit is shown to be a disgusting, grimy, muck-infested spirit mistaken to be a "stink spirit" by many. However, Yubaba notes that he didn't seem like a stink spirit and ordered Chihiro Ogino to wash him in the Big Tub. After being relieved of all the human-made trash that had clogged up his body, the unnamed River Spirit was freed from all the gunk he was carrying and revealed himself to be a grand spirit.

Not much of the River Spirit's personality is made apparent in the film. It is known that he is a very rich and powerful spirit with much influence in the Spirit Realm. He is shown to be very energetic once freed of his polluted burden and displays a hefty amount of gratitude to Chihiro, who freed him, by giving her a famous type of medicine as thanks.

Kushana has ginger hair with a crown she has blue eyes, blue earrings, and she wears knight armor. She later appears without her armor, revealing white dress and her mechanical arm and legs when she escapes from captivity.

Despite her ferocity in battle, Kushana has a nobility of character that earns her the respect of both Nausicaä and Master Yupa . While she admires Nausicaä's pacifist ideals, she sees herself as inescapably destined to walk the path of bloodshed. She cares deeply for the men under her command, but is portrayed as brutal and harsh to her enemies.
Just like Nausicaä, she was born into a man's world. She had to survive by, in a sense, becoming a man; she wore armor, commanded fleets, etc. She had to make tough decisions, and had to be very cautious of her surroundings. Because she knew, behind everything, her brothers were out to kill her and take over the throne.
While seemingly cold-hearted at first, the reader's approach to the character becomes more emotional as we delve into the plot. We find out that the emperor who succeeded Kushana's father poisoned Kushana's mother, making her insane. People took Kushana away, and left her mother alone with only a rag doll. In her insanity, Kushana's mother thought that this rag doll was her daughter. This part of the story once again reflects upon Greek mythology, where many gods and other characters killed their children in fits of temporary insanity.

But she is not always cooperative. Kamajī has to give her a roasted newt to change her mind about accompanying Chihiro to Yubaba . Later on, she uses the newt to sidetrack one of her co-workers from Chihiro's human smell. When Chihiro gets a job in the Bathhouse, she is totally happy about it.

The Cat Returns

At the beginning of the movie, Ashitaka is depicted as a handsome young man who has long hair that is tied into a bun, but he cuts it off after he is told to leave the village. His hair then has a layered cut with wild bangs cut over his eyebrows. His hair is dark brown and he has greyish-brown/brownish-grey eyes. His clothing consists of a blue tunic and peach-white pants, as well as brown bottom warmers and shoes made out of fabric. He also wears blue arm sleeves and a red-orange hood to cover his face. He wears a cloak made out of hay for a small portion of the movie. He wears his fiancée's crystal dagger (In the English dub, everyone calls each other brother and sister, even if they are not related) before he gives it to San . After San's attack on Irontown , Ashitaka has a slash scar on his left cheek where San slashed him with her dagger.
His curse often manifested as a glowing purple and black aura on his right arm. This signified his anger or the anger of those around him, and occasionally caused the muscle mass of his arm and body to momentarily increase, and cause him serious pain. The aura itself often appeared similar to the demon curse that initially infected his body.

Ashitaka is very stern and determined to achieve his goals, not allowing his setbacks to stop him from curing his curse and saving his village, or anyone in danger. He is also extremely curious in nature, wanting to discover who San truly is after witnessing her sucking venom out of one of the wolves. Despite his hard outer shell, Ashitaka is also very kind and only wishes for the best outcomes for both sides, not wishing for either side to shed blood in destructive wars, and wants peace between the forces of nature and humanity.
His affinity for peace is portrayed several times throughout the movie. One example of his tendency to only fight as a last resort is his interruption of San and Eboshi's fight. Even though both are attacking him, he initially tries to convince them that hatred is blinding them, and when he's further attacked, he dispatches them in a non-lethal manner.
On top of that, after stating that he will leave and take "the wolf girl" with him, he is brutally shot in the back by one of the villagers, to which he simply moves on, without retaliation, further displaying no interest in actions that would lead to continued violence.
He also saw the good in San, at one point impulsively telling her that she is "beautiful".

His good nature completes his great character, and it's what causes many characters in the game to trust and help him.

Seiji is a confident young man who has been in love with Shizuku for most of their school lives. When they first encounter each other Shizuku perceives him as rude, and refers to him as "stupid jerk" which she repeats numerous times, however as the film progresses we see that he is a very sensitive and loving person, and his affection for Shizuku become very apparent, especially at the end of the film. He is very driven, wanting to go to Italy on his own to perfect the art of violin making, and willing to leave everything behind, showing both his confidence and his abilities.

His other personality has him being quite kind to others even being grateful towards Umi and her friends who came to help in restoring the Quartier Latin to save it from being demolished.

Calcifer is bound to the confines of Howl's Castle after he struck a deal with Howl years prior. He later strikes another magical bargain with Sophie , hoping she can break his curse. Calcifer cares about Howl, Sophie, and their makeshift family despite his grandiose threats and prickly demeanor. He worries about Howl's penchant for war and that it will inevitably change him.


The Cat Returns

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

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

The Cat Returns

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

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


The Cat Returns

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

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


The Cat Returns

Heen is a lazy, shaggy, floppy-eared dog, who only communicates through wheezing and gasping, jumping and scraping.


The Cat Returns

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

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

The Daichis: Earth's Defence Family

He’s a small boy with brown short hair with a red bandana under his hair. He wears a yellow and green striped shirt, some blue shorts with a brown belt around, and wears blue and white sneakers with red and yellow coloring around.

Unlike the rest of the Daichi family, Dai is much more energetic than the rest of them. He has a temper whenever he is criticized and does not want to be treated like a kid. Dai is shown to have hidden feelings for Eren . He's also a bit of a pervert since he tries to lift the skirts/dresses of his classmates and especially his teacher, rubs his face in the butt of his sister, or touches the breasts of his mother. In Episode 7, while it is fun for him to run in the rain, he hates rain primarily because he cannot run that well while holding an umbrella and his sister scolds him if his clothes get wet in the rain as stated in Episode 7's preview version, which is one of the things that he has to worry about. If someone does not behave like a normal human, he'll believe that they are an Alien such as Hoshi in Episode 7 when he wonders if the fish in the river knows that humans refer to them as fish, or Eren in the alternative episode 11, the alien whom he got freaked out by in Episode 1 prior to having fake memories inserted into him or Episode 13 where he noticed a slight growth in her body before being slapped really hard that he flew out of his room, which led to him closing his eyes as well as Eren's request not to be seen in whatever transformation she is in.


The Daichis: Earth's Defence Family

She wears a variety of panties, in one episode, she wears white panties, another is blue panties that has yellow star patterns and finally she wore pink panties with a pink flower design.

She's shown knocking away Dai daichi when he gets under her skirt and sighing, however she is shown to be kind and compassionate, but she's not above getting angry, as she went on a tangent about dai's skirt lifting and teasing, and she declines a gift from Dai, accepting his skirt lifting. [4]


The Daichis: Earth's Defence Family

In her smaller form, she appears to be around the same age as Dai while also being slightly taller than him. She has red eyes, green hair which has a large yellow ribbon tied on the back of her head to form a ponytail that extends halfway to her back. She wears a blue dress, a pink jacket with cuffs on the sleeves and a red rope knot around her chest. She uses a red backpack when she goes to school. Her left sock is about twice as long as her right sock, which puts an emphasis on her true form. She has brown boots with small red bows on the front top half.


The Dangers in My Heart

Adachi has very short, brownish-blonde hair and an average build. He also has relatively smaller irises and pupils than most of the main cast.

Adachi is a brash and perverted teenage boy, but he has a strong sense of male honor. He is unapologetically perverse about and even around women.
Along with Kanzaki and Oota, he often engages in conversations involving shallow sexual desires, and occasionally tries to rope other classmates into somewhat perverted jokes/pranks, although he often gets called out before he gets his desired result.
Adachi can be surprisingly observant of other people. He recognized all the times Ichikawa got in his way back when he tried hitting on Yamada, and he realized that Ichikawa had grown closer with her over time. He is also the only one who genuinely appreciated Sekine's kind act of making chocolates for all the male students in class, despite him initially misunderstanding the chocolate he received to be romantic.
Adachi is also a social person who enjoys the presence of his friends, often being the one to start conversations.


The Dangers in My Heart

Andou has medium-brown, almost purplish hair that is tied into twin-tails using small, black ribbons. The lower half of her face is always obscured, usually by her face mask, but once by shadows.

Andou has an unhealthy obsession with celebrating the relationships of other people without their consent. She accomplishes this through her friends, who create flash-mobs for the unsuspecting couple, complete with congratulatory banners and confetti. This causes problems for Ichikawa and Yamada, who want to keep their relationship quiet, but also don't want to constantly have to avoid each other for fear of being exposed.


The Dangers in My Heart

Hanzawa has long, blonde hair and green eyes. Her eyes are notable for often being half-open, giving her a sleepy expression.

Complimenting her sleepy looks, Hanzawa has a quiet personality, and low physical presence. She effortlessly sneaks in on Ichikawa and Yamada in the library behind the curtain without them even noticing she is in the room. She may be possessive of her friends, as she grabs Yamada's arm when she makes contact with Andou , not wanting her to call her by her first name.


The Dangers in My Heart

Hara is slightly more overweight than the rest of the girls in her class. She has shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes.

Hara is kind, and while generally soft-spoken, will quickly try to strike down anyone acting out of line. She also works to try and keep the peace whenever she feels conflict is happening between people she is friends with. She often worries about her weight, and often can't handle the stream of compliments sent her way by Kanzaki.


The Dangers in My Heart

Kana has chin-length brown hair. She has blue eyes that appear as small circles within circles, a design element she shares with the rest of her family. She was described as "pretty cute" by Adachi .

Kana is a caring, but sometimes prying older sister to Kyoutarou.
Because she is aware of her brother's antisocial behavior, she becomes very interested in his relationship with Yamada , and wants to know more about her, much to his chagrin.
Despite this, he has confided in her about their relationship a few times when he was unsure about what to do. She is also very earnest at times.
While waiting up to and during the starting days of her job she bought a takoyaki pan and practiced creating takoyaki for days on end and had her family members try eating them.


The Dangers in My Heart

Ichikawa is a relatively short, small-framed Japanese teenager. His two most notable character design traits are his hair, which is almost always put in a style where one of his eyes is covered by his bangs, and his eyes themselves, which have a notable circular/spiral design, also seen in his family. He is usually seen in his school uniform, but outside of school, he tends to wear "goth" clothing; mainly black, adorned with skulls, chains, and other macabre designs.

Early on in the series, Ichikawa is a bitter social outcast, often having violent fantasies involving people who slight or annoy him. This, accompanied with his interest in true crime and fantasy stories has his internal monologue being that of a psychopathic killer. Despite this, he freezes up in social situations, and dislikes people who aren't considerate of other people's feelings, and detests people who bully, intimidate, or objectify others. He constantly worries about being put in the spotlight, ridiculed, or that his presence may cause other people problems or discomfort, even though much of that is only in his head. As a young boy going through puberty, Ichikawa's sexual impulses often get the better of him, particularly when Yamada does something inadvertently sensual around him.
Despite his flaws, Ichikawa is genuinely a kind-hearted and compassionate person deep down, he hates bullies and people making use of others without consenting to their feelings, he also cares a lot for his family members and has become even more outgoing and sociable thanks to interactions with his Yamada. Most of the plot of the series is Ichikawa growing out of his hatred of people, usually through his interactions with Yamada, who acts as his love interest and character foil.
While not a major aspect of his character, he is a bit of an otaku, enjoying action manga and things like moe anime girl figures. He spends a lot of his free time playing on his mobile game device, reading, or watching movies.


The Dangers in My Heart

Kanzaki is a fairly average-looking teenager, with very short, almost buzz-cut hair, and fairly large eyebrows. He grew his sideburns out once, much to Hara's dismay.

Kanzaki typically adopts a polite personality when interacting with others, which makes him seem like a decent person towards most of his classmates, as seen with Yamada's friends preferring to team up with him over Ichikawa, Adachi , or Oota for the work study visit.
However, when Kanzaki is around his friends, he has no problems joining in their perverted conversations, and he occasionally ends up speaking his mind about his fantasies, which mostly involve the concept of being overweight.


The Dangers in My Heart

Kobayashi is considerably shorter and more child-like in appearance than the rest of the girls in her friend group. She has short, brown hair and brown eyes.

Though Kobayashi has a somewhat childish personality, she usually acts as a brash straight man to Yamada's antics, calling her out for disappearing when she should be working on something, or when she smacks herself while trying to use a fan to cool off. She also has a tendency to be oblivious of certain more "mature" things, like romance, as she seems to be the only one who doesn't realize Yamada and Ichikawa's feelings towards each other.


The Dangers in My Heart

Kouda has short, silver (likely dyed) hair that extends just below her statuesque face. She often wears multiple earrings and a necklace, along with fashionable clothes befitting her job as a professional model.

Kouda appears to have a different persona depending on who she is interacting with. Her first appearance shows her as a picturesque, ethereal model, but this facade immediately falls away when she notices Yamada , who she cries to because a taxi driver didn't notice her when she needed a ride. She has a secret Twitter account which she uses to roleplay as an obsessed fan of Yamada's, leaving out the fact that they work together professionally. She appears to have a variety of mental issues and social anxieties, which she uses her Twitter account to vent over.


The Dangers in My Heart

The original Nigorikawa has the appearance of a tall, "pretty-boy" protagonist commonly seen in shoujo manga. He has brown, short-cut hair and striking features. His usual outfit consists of a white hoodie with a blue overcoat, and brown long pants with a stripe design.
Imaginary Kyoutarou possesses the exact same appearance as the original character, although he has occasionally appeared shirtless, which he claims that he represents Ichikawa's heart in that state.
Lucifer Nigorikawa's first appearance was nearly identical to the original character, although with black angel wings. Later on, when manifesting as Ichikawa's libido, he possessed a few more differences. He now has pale skin, and lacks the hoodie and overcoat, he instead wears a mostly unbuttoned white shirt, exposing his chest.


The Dangers in My Heart

Nanjou has dyed blonde hair, but leaves the area below the top of his ears a natural black color. He is drawn with especially simple eyes compared to most of the cast, usually just having pupils as two circular lines.

Forceful and persistent, Nanjou is drawn to attractive women. He attempts to use pickup-lines and compliments to get their attention, to mixed success. He doesn't tend to take hints well when he is annoying people, and only backs down when expressly told "no." He is good at manipulating the flow of conversation to get the topic back to where he wants it. He is willing to use small amounts of force to get his way, such as when he grabbed Yamada's arm to intimidate her into giving her LINE account to him. That said, he appears willing to help people if the situation calls for it, such as aiding in fishing out Ichikawa's bike from the river when he throws it.


The Dangers in My Heart

Sekine's design has elements of the gyaru subculture, namely her light hair color and manner of dress. She is often depicted with the anime-style "cat smile" w-shape.

The Dangers in My Heart

Yamada is a tall and curvaceous young Japanese girl who stands out when compared to her classmates. This causes some people to think that she is actually in high school or college. She wears fashionable and varied clothes when not at school, and has longish, straight, black hair that extends below her shoulders. She has two birthmarks on the right side of her neck, and one on her inner left thigh.

Yamada on the surface has a very infectious and positive outlook on the world. She appears to be at the center of most of the social circles she is in, and is often the topic of discussion amongst her friend circle. Despite this, she seems to sometimes find that her relative fame and mature looks attracts shallow actors to her, such as Pickup-pai and Adachi . She has a mild case of androphobia because of this, and attempts to avoid contact with most men, such as when she refused to get powdered sugar on her cocoa bread when a boy was distributing it. Her friends seem aware of this, going out of their way to block men from coming in contact with her by forming a human wall around her.
Her sometimes flighty personality also causes her to abandon her personal projects and ambitions. She has internalized this as a fear of her own abandonment, compounded by her dread of having shallow interactions with others. She is a self-admitted crybaby, sometimes shedding tears over fairly minor things, though this doesn't usually last long. Given her immaturity, she can be, albeit unintentionally, somewhat physically possessive or domineering of people, especially those who are much smaller than her like Kobayashi and Ichikawa , though this is mostly played for comedy. Ultimately, Yamada is a very kind, sweet and loving girl who is very considerate of others, and constantly apologizes if something's wrong.
Yamada does work as a model and actress. While it is early in her career, she frets about her popularity, hoping people notice her in magazines and worrying about getting certain roles in movies or TV shows.
Due to the manga's nature in having Ichikawa be the main voice of the manga, much of Yamada's personality is demonstrated through background elements, connecting events and character statements, or her actions, unlike his internal monologues which spell out things more clearly.

She often wears a variety of high-fashion outfits.

Anna refers to her mother as acting strict in public, but is actually very kind and supportive.

Ichikawa finds himself on the receiving end of her "initially strict, but then kind" personality when she initially judges him harshly for being a boy invited to her daughter's otherwise female-only chocolate-making gathering, but quickly warms up to him once the situation is cleared and she understands what is going on.

He works as a chef, which seems to have influenced his daughter's gluttonous habits. He enjoys playing video games, but doesn't often have people he can play with. Based off of their interactions and Anna's talks about him, he is very caring of his daughter, and seems to have some reservations about Ichikawa's interactions with her, like when he insinuated to him that it wasn't good for kids to be at other peoples' houses after she recently stayed at Ichikawa's place. Despite this, he seems to be forming a friendship with him.

Yoshida is often depicted as the most mature and skeptical amongst her friends, and also the most attentive. She recognizes that Ichikawa had been to Yamada's house before they were all invited to make chocolate based off him pushing the elevator buttons without being prompted and heading for the restroom without direction, both of which went totally over Sekine's head. She appears to be the one that recommends the wallet chain to Yamada as a gift for Ichikawa, as she checks it out with approval once he is wearing it. She also seems to like "tough" boys and yankee types, though she sometimes acts as though she's above things like romance.
