Additionally, in his last conversation with Sidewinder, it's revealed that Hiroshi's hidden desire, which influenced the flow of events through the power of Tightrope, was to protect his sister all along, and rid her of the influence of Strange Days which had taken root in her heart, this ability being the reason why Akiko had ended up mostly separated from dangerous individuals like Fortissimo or Pearl for a majority of the incident [2] .

But in reality, Jin hides a cynical and nihilistic world view, born from his power of seen the strengths and weaknesses of other people's hearts. As he has never seen anyone able to fix the weaknesses inside of their souls, no matter how much work they put into it. Because of this, Jin has developed a belief that nobody can ever achieve true happiness, as they can never truly fix their flaws. Although Jin can easily find the things to say to temporarily motivate students going through tough times, in his mind he always knows how the students will find failure in their future, based on the flaws he saw in their personality. This is why, when the Imaginator showed him that there was a way to create a world where people's flaws can be fixed and true happiness can actually be achieved, it didn't take long for Jin to join her and help her cause.

To her classmates, Kazuko appears as a normal girl with an abundant amount of knowledge about very obscure subjects. However, in reality, Kazuko has a secret obsession with criminal psychology, born from the time she was almost chosen as the next victim in the serial killer incident. Ever since then, she has studied the mind of these kinds of individuals. As a result, she has naturally come into contact with Seiichi Kirima 's books, who became Kazuko's favorite writer, despite her having never read any of his stories, only reading his non-fiction works. Kazuko keeps this hobby of hers a secret from her classmates because she knows that she would be ostracized for having such a "weird" hobby.
Kazuko has an admiration for Nagi Kirima after learning of her occupation, as she doesn't want to believe that someone can die or get hurt purely because of the whims of some evil individual, like the serial killer who planned to attack her years ago. And so, once she found out about Nagi's messiah complex, she found it inspiring that there is someone who can help victims like she almost was. Unlike the other girls in her school, Kazuko doesn't believe in the rumors about Boogiepop at first, being the type of person that only truly believes in things she can see with her own eyes.
Despite having such grim hobbies, Kazuko is a nice person at heart, proven by when she encouraged Aya Orihata to keep living when she mistook her for trying to jump off the roof of the school. Even though she didn't believe her own advice to be anything special, her kindness actually encouraged Aya to survive.

She wears the female Shinyo Academy uniform, consisting of a blue blazer over a white shirt with a red ribbon tied around the collar, and a pale blue skirt, with the addition of the Disciplinary Committee armband, green this time, around her left arm.

Despite her childish appearance, Kei is a mature person, who is often thought of by others as someone to rely on, or as a "big sister" of sorts. Despite this, Kei isn't actually that happy about taking on everyone's troubles, but instead is simply the type of person who cannot say no to others, causing her to shoulder many people's unnecessary troubles. She also has an obsession with making things proper and neatly arranged, more instinctively than consciously. Even though she took the role of President of the Discipline Committee, she isn't particularly invested in the position, only attending meetings as a formality, and overlooking many of her friends who break the school's rules.
She previously confessed her feelings to Keiji Takeda , but she was rejected as the boy was instead in love with Touka Miyashita . Even so, Kei demonstrated her maturity when she appeared to get over the situation quickly and continued to speak to her two schoolmates. However, although she didn't let it show on the outside, Kei actually did have some problems coping with her heartbreak, and also tried to avoid meeting Keiji without mentally preparing herself first.
During the King of Distortion incident, her heart's anxieties manifested as Masami Saotome , who imprinted himself into her memory after he told her that he loved how strong her will was, during the fight with the Manticore . This moment remained in her heart, as she could tell he truly was in love with her at that moment, and was disturbed by the revelation that love could be harmful and evil. After confronting and getting over this side of her, which took the form of the King of Distortion, she finally had the strength to face Keiji, and overcome her heartbreak.

In the anime, Keiji wears the Shinyo Academy male school uniform, consisting of a blue blazer worn over a white shirt with a red tie around the collar, and pale blue pants.

Keiji is a fairly normal young man. Because of the school rules that prohibit relationships between members of the opposite sex, he and Touka Miyashita have promised to never talk at school, instead creating a sign language that only they know. Despite the difficult circumstances around their relationship, the two are in love, although they rarely can see each other because of Touka's family circumstances and Keiji's designer job.
During his third year of high-school, a clear divide between him and the rest of the student body could clearly be seen. Because of Keiji's assured position at his father's designer company, the boy doesn't suffer through the same amount of stress as the rest of his peers, who have to study for college exams. As such, a sort of contempt for him was born in his schoolmates. Keiji himself doesn't appear to be too bothered by this, though.
Keiji became Boogiepop 's first friend, when he started meeting up with him during the Manticore incident. Although, at first, he was worried about his girlfriend's health, as, in his eyes, Boogiepop was simply an alternate personality, during the time they spent together, Keiji grew close to the shinigami and when he heard that Boogiepop's work was done, and that he was going to, once again, disappear deep within Touka's mind, Keiji tried to ask him to stay around a little longer, but in the end couldn't keep him from going away. Although Keiji knew nothing of the supernatural incident, or about Boogiepop's involvement, he was very impressed by the time when the shinigami admonished the people who ignored the wounded Echoes , and grew to admire his willingness to say the things Keiji himself couldn't, and for having the courage to stand out.
During the time when she was still alive, Keiji was good friends with Naoko Kamikishiro , since both of them had romantic relationships, even though it was against school rules. Keiji himself said that there was some sort of peace of mind he felt from talking to her that he couldn't get from any other male friends. Keiji was also the object of Kei Niitoki 's affection, but the boy rejected her for Touka. In spite of this, Kei got over her heartbreak quickly, and the two remained on friendly terms, although Keiji started to avoid the girl in order to not deal with the awkwardness.
Keiji was a friend of Kasumi Mikage , who he met in junior high. Keiji was the more serious person, while Kasumi was more casual, making them have contrasting personalities.

In the anime, Kentarou has slicked back black hair in a buzz haircut, and is shown wearing a black letterman jacket over a red T-shirt, and blue jeans.

Kentarou is a highly competent hacker, and has spent most of his time as a student hacking into different companies and stealing their data, selling it on the black market. He never felt any remorse doing this, as, in his eyes, it was the companies' fault that they didn't pay any attention to their security. After Nagi saved him, he soon fell head over heels in love with her, and started helping her however he could, although Nagi doesn't allow him to participate in any major way, out of fear that he would die or get hurt. Kentarou, however, misinterpreting this as her underestimating his ablitities, always tires to solve incidents on his own, in order to 'prove himself to her'.
He is good friends with Shirou Tanaka , and has been ever since elementary school. Despite his background as a hacker, he is the more outgoing of the two, laughing openly at Sakiko Michimoto , while Shirou tried to stop him. Even so, Kentarou has admitted that Shirou is more reliable than him, and was glad to have him as a friend.


Boogiepop

The King takes the appearance of anyone present in the memories of those whose minds he inhabits, with the only visible difference being the eyes, which never reflect any light. This is because each one of the Kings appearing inside of people's conciousnesses are just reflections of themselves, with the one true King of Distortion taking Shirou's body, and having normal eyes.

While the King's personality changes with whatever person's form he is taking, in general, he seems to share a soft-spoken, calm and collected attitude each time, always seeming confident, most likely because of his knowledge of distortions in the hearts of each person's subconcious he enters. He claims his goal to be to 'turn the people's suffering into gold', which involves having people deal with their inner turmoils and coming to terms with them, which is why Boogiepop does not consider the King an enemy of the world, as he doesn't truly do anything particularly villainous. The King himself wrongly assumes that Boogiepop is looking to stop him, which shows an insecurity inside of him, that the only one who thinks his actions are wrong is himself. These insecurities are born from the fact that the King's wish to 'turn all into gold' stems from Shirou Tanaka's own distortions, which he attempts to ignore by, instead, focusing on those of other people.

Kit is a young, foreign, Asian girl with long, straight black hair and black eyes. She wears a red blouse over a white shirt with a black ribbon tied around the collar, a dark purple skirt and red patterned socks.

Even so, Kit has shown great compassion, suggesting that the Gang of Six abandon her, as she knew being with them would only endanger them.

Boogiepop

She is said to have black hair, which is neither long nor short. Though after getting married, her hair was cut to be shorter. She is said to have a baby face, looking like she's still in her teens. A police officer even considered her to be in junior high.

Her nature is quite timid. She's usually hesitant with what she says, and is insecure at times. She isn't very social, and is quick to become apologetic. Mai talks about her being shy and easy to bully. Despite her weak seeming personality, she acts fast and is willing to do whatever it is to help her husband.
She cares for her husband quite strongly. She's shown to be quite attentive, noticing if Kunio is injured even in the slightest, and even pays attention to what his food preferences are from just looking at him eat. She obviously cares for him a lot and doesn't want him to be hurt even by the slightest prick. She would even happily betray the Towa Organization if it meant she could protect him that way. She thinks about his safety over her own, shown when a Towa agent, Bracke , attacked her, and she was described as relieved they were after her rather than her husband.

Kotoe is a young girl with short, straight, light brown hair, with a black hairpit on the left side, and brown eyes. She is shown wearing the white Shinyo Academy female sailor uniform.
In the anime, Kotoe has longer and darker brown hair, brown eyes, and is shown wearing a green sweater, a dark red skirt, and light brown boots.

Kotoe appears to be a cheerful, optimistic and happy girl who contrasts the more cynical personality of Jin Asukai . She is often the one to take care of Jin, bringing him food and supporting him, and trying to keep her father from kicking Jin out, overall being his only remaining family member that cares about him. In reality, though, Kotoe's love for her cousin is more than just familial, having developed feelings for him at a young age, ever since she first met him, and although she is aware that her love would never be reciprocated, she still holds a faint hope that somehow they could become a couple, shown by how she didn't want her family to adopt Jin after his father's death, because if that happened, the two would officially become brother and sister, completely ruining all chances of her love being answered.
According to Jin, Kotoe was not a very serious girl, because she lacked a bud in her heart, meaning that, while she did have plenty of kindness and empathy, and had a fortunate life, because of her parents' money, she never felt any real passion for anything, and always felt an emptiness inside of her as a result, becoming jealous of normal people who can get attached and emotional about meaningless things. She substituted this emptiness inside of her heart with her love for Jin, partially using him to be able to keep living happily. Whenever she feels down, she likes to go to an abandoned amusement park owned by her family, where she spends time alone.
After becoming Spooky E's best puppet, Kotoe retained most of the man's personality traits, talking in the same sarcastic and mocking manner the obese man did, and inheriting all of his desires, becoming a sort of clone, not directly controlled by him, but simply following the same will.


Boogiepop

Having been raised by a cult, with his parents as the leaders, he became disgusted with the deception they use to ensnare other people into their group, and left his home. When he realized that the fate of the entire world was in his hands, while he was trying to save Kit , he had a panic attack, not being able to handle the pressure of being responsible for so many lives, showing his weakness.

Kunio talks in a firm, but not exactly unfriendly tone and is bluntly honest whenever he can be. He is mentioned as usually quiet. He is also quite obsessive and caring of his wife Koi Koryo. Setsuko Amamiya described him as different than the other MPLS she'd seen. His powers are more of thought of as just a natural trait or technique where he was born. Unlike most MPLS, his abilities were never self-destructing for him, but rather actually saves him in deadly situations. It is also assumed that this power of his can change the world as explained by Amamiya.
He was talked about as an odd child, as he was quiet and never really argued with anyone, and was also recognized as being very intelligent.
He values his wife most above all else, even more than his own life. He does not care if the reason his wife is with him is because of the money, or if she even ever tries to kill him. He even goes so far as to try and learn how he can control his lightning ability so that it doesn't kill her if that were to ever happen.


Boogiepop

Kyouichirou is a middle-aged man with black hair and brown eyes. Being a synthetic human, Kyouichirou does not age, and so he has to cover himself with make-up in order to look more like his age. Even with that, though, he still looks more than twenty years younger than his reported age of 52. He is described as wearing a black suit with a black necktie, and as carrying a cane.
In the anime, Kyouichirou has similarly styled black hair, and is shown wearing a blue suit over a white shirt, with a red and white striped necktie.

Kyouichirou was a very eccentric individual, most commonly known for his strange design taste in buildings, such as the octagon-shaped hospital he created, or the famous Moon Temple. Aside from this, he also had many strange hobbies, such as collecting all kinds of mannequins, though this proved to just be a red herring for hiding the secret room in the Moon Temple. He had affairs with countless women, apparently in and effort to seem more human, so as to make his true identity of a synthetic human harder to detect. Many women became pregnant after having affairs with him, one of them being Shizuka Hashizaka . Despite not having any feelings for them, Kyouichirou tried to at least help the women that became pregnant, like Shizuka, by giving them enough money to support their children and warning them to not try to report their relationship to the press, as the Towa Organization would target them if they did, even though he is aware that their children aren't his, as he cannot reproduce, being a synthetic human.
Kyouichirou was a fantastic businessman, even without the help of the Towa's influence, as his economical control grew even farther than the Organization intended, making it launch an investingation on Kyouichirou, suspecting his betrayal. Kyouichirou himself gained independence and, unlike most other synthetic humans, went against orders from the Towa Organization, and was henceforth terminated. Kyouichirou left a message in the Moon Temple, intending to have someone learn of the secret of the Organization. While he was still alive, not many people knew Kyouichirou, and outside of the persona he showed on TV, nobody really understood him, as he ran most of his corporation entirely on his own, without anyone's help. During his visit to the late Norisuke Kigawa 's house, he showed a rude and uncaring demeanor towards the deceased man, showing up to seize the property before Norisuke's funeral, and later just breaking into it by smashing a window. The attorney present there at the time even described Kyouichirou as "scary".

However, lacking much money, she has to live in hotels and, before she and the other four first members of the Gang of Six found the money planted by the Towa Organization with their abilities, was even homeless for a time. She is ashamed of having to live that way, and so she does her best to hide her personal life, even her actual age, from the other members as much as possible.
Kyouko fell in love with Kasumi, but was always afraid to confess her feelings. In the end, after the Hivemind incident, the Kasumi and Kyouko parted ways, hoping to meet again one day.

Kyousuke has the appearance of a middle aged man with curly, unkempt hair, small black eyes and a stubble. He is shown wearing a simple green suit.

He was given the codename of Idioteque because of his appearance, which, at a single glance, looks like that of a drunkard. He calls Oxygen "Hollywood", because of the meaning of his alias. He and Nagi have a genuine uncle-niece relatioship, in spite of Kyousuke's position.


Boogiepop

Lee is a young man with medium-length blonde hair and brown eyes. He is always shown wearing his signature purple jacket and purple pants.

Because of his strength, Lee has a fearless, arrogant and confident personality. As is expected of a Towa agent, he feels nothing when taking a life. Even so, he does not actively try to kill anyone, and only does so when ordered to. He has become bored with his status, and deliberately searches out powerful enemies in order to continuously test his strength. He feels strong respect for powerful people, whether human or synthetic. Even though he is the strongest in terms of physical force, he is not good at dealing with people with strong mental fortitude. Whenever he is asked by the Organization to handle 'chores' like post-incident questioning, he shows a listless and unwilling attitude. His favorite foods are crepes and, recently, salmon. Alcestis calls him "ff-kun".

Li Carz is a tall woman with bright red skin traversed by curving, black lines, similar in look to the Witch of Fire Walpurgis , which form a heart shape on her forehead. She has long black hair that flows down to her waist, black lips and glowing purple eyes. She is shown wearing a black fur dress cut down the middle, showing her legs.

Li Carz is a tyrannical despot who ruled over the world with her magic. She has no regard for anyone other than herself, remorselessly disposing of her own subjects, the only exception being her enemy Oris Quart, the battle with whom she awaits with glee [3] . As described by Oris Quart, she is composed entirely of malice, affirming all malicious impulses within not just herself but all of humanity [4] , declaring that the sole force which drives humanity forward is ill will. She appears calm and collected at all times, exuding a powerfully oppressive aura, though she becomes more excited in the presence of Oris. When she was a young student at the Forefront Sorcery Research Institute , she appeared much more expressive, though she still retained her overbearing arrogance, stating that no other professor could keep up with her, with the exception of Professor Quart , whom she had some respect for due to his intelligence and power, though she believed his belief in the goodness of humanity spelled his limits [1] .


Boogiepop

Mai looks even younger than Koi, appearing to be around high-school aged. She has long, straight, shoulder length black hair and red eyes. She is shown wearing what appears to be a school uniform consisting of a white shirt with a black ribbon.

To outsiders like Kunio Koryou , Mai puts on the personality of a cheerful high school girl and caring younger sister to Koi, who always tries to protect her shy older sister. She gives the cover story of coming from a ruptured family, with Koi being her half sister from her dad's mistress, whom Mai was forbidden to see, and so she comes to visit her in secret.
Mai's true personality is that of a cold and professional synthetic human who doesn't show many emotions. She has no qualms about killing in order to accomplish her job, and values the mission more than anything else, being fully loyal to the Organization. She can sometimes be abusive towards Koi, due to the girl's lack of experience or knowledge. Even so, she does seem to retain some humanity, shown through her interactions with Katyusha, in which she is shown to care about her comrades.


Boogiepop

Makiko is a fairly young woman with short pink hair (later depicted as reddish brown), and blue eyes. She is shown wearing make-up, and a pinkish-white hospital uniform.
In the anime, Makiko has long black hair and black eyes, and is shown wearing a white lab coat over a green blouse, beige pants and white high-heeled shoes.

While Makiko was a normal human, she was an easily scared coward. She became a psychiatrist because, as someone who analyses the human mind, she can deconstruct unimaginable fear to a point where it doesn't affect her anymore. Makiko had a lot of contempt for the staff of the hospital where she worked, as the head doctors and older nurses looked down on her because of her gender and lack of experience. However, soon after discovering the MPLS drug, her personality became twisted, feeling the desire to prey on the weaknesses of particularly courageous people, in order to comfort her own former cowardice. Even so, she still claimed to wish that all fear disappear from the world, blaming the death of her victims on fear itself rather than her own actions. After scaring her victims, Makiko would drink their blood, in which she felt the terror as a taste. She claimed that men's fear was "too sweet", and so only targeted girls. After becoming an MPLS, the only time she felt fear was when dealing with Nagi Kirima , who managed to defeat her without being scared at all.


Boogiepop

Makoto is a normal-looking young boy with short black hair.
In the anime, he has short brown hair and brown eyes, and is shown wearing an orange hoodie, a blue backpack and light blue pants.

Makoto appears to be a fairly regular child of his age, having a selfish and bratty personality, shown by his casual wish for a giant monster to flatten the Moon Temple solely because he was bored of waiting in line. He doesn't show much respect for people older than himself, as is apparent from his interaction with the King of Distortion in the form of Kyouichirou Teratsuki before entering the Temple. He is generally shown to be moody.
The advanced King of Distortion known as Zouragi was born from his image of the father figure absent in his life. Seeing his mother be constantly tormented by her lingering affections for Kyouichirou Teratsuki throughout his childhood led the boy to imagine him as this giant monstrous creature, unseen by others but always wreaking havoc in the city. In the end, that image was destroyed within the dream by Boogiepop , who made Makoto stop believing in the creature's power over him by defeating it in front of his eyes.


Boogiepop

Mamoru is a boy with short, spikey black hair and black eyes. He is usually shown wearing either his school uniform, consisting of a black gakuran and black pants, or a grey tracksuit and sweatpants with two white stripes running down the sides of the sleeves. When he was a child he was shown wearing either a green hoodie or, during the school play, his hand-made Pied Piper of Hamelin costume (which would also become the basis of Poom Poom's appearance).

Mamoru is a cruel and sadistic individual who is shown to have a compulsion for violence and destruction, which stems from his desire to rid the world of things he deems 'unnecessary'. He is quickly angered and abusive towards his sister, Sayoko, often pushing and kicking her without warning when irritated. He is vindictive, retaliating against the muggers who assaulted him by trying to kill them, only being stopped when Sayoko intervenes. He only shows enthusiasm when taking things apart, having a hobby for disassembling things such as PCs and determining which parts are necessary and which are not. By extension, when he gets his new power, he is excited to demonstrate it, using it to kill a stray cat, not feeling any remorse in the act of taking a life [1] .
Mamoru wasn't born with his twisted personality; in the past, he used to enjoy creating things, such as the Pied Piper costume he was to wear for his school play, perhaps inspired by his father, who worked on designing Paisley Park . he also used to be kind to his sister, comforting her when they got lost in the woods and making her a wood-carved charm to keep her company and protect her as he left to go get help. However, after continuously being neglected by that father, culminating in the parent breaking his promise to attend his son's play, Mamoru's frustration turned into a desire for destruction, in a hatred for 'useless things', the most useless thing for Mamoru being the abandoned amusement park itself. In reality, however, after learning that the one bearing the MPLS ability was his sister all along, he admitted that he was trying to throw his life away through his destructive behavior, and that the one he really wished to get rid of was himself. He was also shown to yearn for his childlike past self, begging him not to leave when briefly catching a glimpse of Poom Poom in the amusement park [1] .

Manaka is a young girl with brown eyes and long brown hair parted in the middle, displaying her forehead. After being revived by Echoes' light, Manaka's growth rate is exponentially increased, gaining an adolescent or young adult body despite only being five years old. After escaping from her home, she is only ever shown wearing a white gown, not wearing any shoes. After expending most of her powers, Manaka becomes frail and withered, appearing like an old lady.

Due to receiving Echoes' memories, Manaka bears the same restriction as him, not communicating anything from herself but merely repeating the phrases she hears, though this appears to be a self-imposed condition, as she is able to communicate with her own words to Boogiepop [1] . Manaka appears to be a perpetually cheerful girl, always smiling and laughing as she gives out random memories to whomever she encounters [2] . Due to being alone for her whole life, not allowed to go outside and never seeing anyone aside from her grandmother, Manaka desires companionship, which she gets from absorbing others memories, though eventually she also creates a friend for herself in the form of Poom Poom [3] . Due to being called a "child of the Devil" by her grandmother from the day she was born, Manaka thinks of her existence as a mistake. Because of her young age combined with the cosmic knowledge gained from Echoes, she can't understand the meaning of living, pondering what the point of her grandmother's life had been. Due to her inherited memories, she thinks of herself as being Echoes, and wishes to disappear in a flash of light, as he did, considering it an eternal existence rather than death. Despite that, she also develops an attachment to life, and feels conflicted, though she ultimately accepts her fate to disappear [1] .


Boogiepop

The Manticore's original appearance is never shown, only its body after the transformation into Minako Yurihara.
In the anime, it is shown to be identical to Echoes, its original, though with a distinctly feminine shape, before taking the body of Minako.

The Manticore is an unempathetic creature, being able to kill others for food without feeling any guilt, and when it isn't hiding its true identity, it is very aggressive towards everyone aside from Masami. When it first met him, it was unconcerned with its future or its place in the world, as it just tried its best to survive the day without being hunted by any Towa Organization agents, who it has shown great fear towards. However, Masami was able to convince the Manticore that, with his help, the two would be able to reconstruct society with them at its center. [2] The Manticore quickly fell in love with him, as he was the first person to show kindness towards it, and its love was proven genuine when Masami was killed protecting it, when it became frenzied and attempted to kill anyone in sight. [3]


Boogiepop

Manticore Phantom bears the appearance of Masami Saotome, being identical to him, a young man with short black hair and black eyes, dressed in a black gakuran school uniform. When using its ability to eat people' life force, tentacle-like appendages sprout from his mouth, which flail around through the air.

Manticore's personality appears to be a combination of the wills of both the Manticore and Masami Saotome. Just like the Manticore, it is concerned only with its own survival, considering humans to be different lifeforms from itself and viewing them only as food, being unable to relate to their emotions. However, unlike the original Manticore, it almost always maintains a calm, indifferent demeanor, closer to Masami Saotome's. And like Masami, it is also shown to manipulate humans in order to achieve its goals, teaming up with Misuzu Arito in order to find more victims [2] . However, it doesn't appear to have any of Masami's memories, not remembering who Moto Tonomura is [1] .


Boogiepop

Masaki is a friendly and kind young man. Unlike his sister, he doesn't show strangers any unwarranted aggression, judging by how he readily welcomed Kazuko Suema into his home despite not knowing who she was. After transferring to his middle school in Japan, he quickly became very popular with all of the girls, although he didn't enjoy their company at all, as he could sense their shallowness. Because of his popularity, Masaki became hated by basically every boy in his school. Despite having similar fighting prowess to his sister, he never fought any of his angry schoolmates, as he didn't want any trouble, instead only wishing for normal school life. The situation with his male classmates improved, though, once Shinjirou Anou told everybody that the only reason he hated Masaki was because he was jealous. Hearing this, many of the others realized that themselves, and stopped trying to hurt Masaki. Masaki was also the object of Shinjirou Anou's love, although the boy never seemed to realize it.
Despite his constant female attention, the only girl Masaki fell for was Aya Orihata, who he quickly became infatuated with. Masaki risked his life multiple times for her, and was the first person to show her affection, which made the girl also fall for him. Even after finding out she was acting on orders when she spent time with her, he quickly recovered and ran to save her.

In reality though, Masami is a twisted and disturbed individual, who doesn't feel anything for other people, and is easily able to kill them. In his own words, Masami is an "indirect suicide fetishist", someone who feels attracted to things that can kill him. This is the reason why he was instantly enchanted by the Manticore, and started to aid it, feeling a twisted sense of love toward the creature. In his day-to-day life, Masami deliberately tries to fit into any situation he is put in, and therefore doesn't stand out until he shows his true colors. Despite his awfulness, the fact that he was willing to end his own life in order to save the Manticore, proving that his love was genuine.

Despite this, Masanori is very skilled at his real job of an assassin, never failing to finish off his opponents. Even though he is a hitman, he does possess empathy for others, and so, in order to not feel any guilt, Masanori doesn't think about any of his victims. This is why, when he encountered Seiichi Kirima 's daughter years after he murdered the man, he was shaken up by having to remember his victim. The guilt was amplified after talking with Nagi Kirima and discovering how great an individual she was. Similarly to Shinpei Kuroda , a fellow Towa Agent killed my Mo Murder, after spending some time with her, Masanori felt compelled to save her life, even at the cost of his own.

Minako was the top student of her school, a person who was considered by most of the teachers as a genius. However, because of her abundant talent, she was ostracized by most of her peers, causing her to become a reclusive girl with no friends. Because of this, she was the perfect target to serve as the Manticore's shape, as her lack of any kind of interaction made it much more difficult for anyone to realize the fact that she was a different person.

Despite his young age, Mitsuo is a tall and well-built man, with short brown hair and a stubble on his chin. He is shown wearing casual clothing, like everyone else in the Gang, and is described as having a childish face, mismatched with the rest of his body.

Despite being so tall, Mitsuo has a nice and casual personality, often cracking jokes and not emitting any of the hostility one might expect from a man of his build. Mitsuo is generally not very smart, leading his friends to make fun of him, but he can be strangely perceptive when it comes to what the other members of the Gang of Six feel, often being the first to realize whenever one of them feels down or has something on their mind. He tends to confuse his predictions of the future with memories of the past, this being the reason for the formation of the Gang. In the end, after appearing in front of Kouji Koumoto after his death, he explains that he believes the vagueness of his ability was so that he could save his friends without fear, realizing that if he knew the whole situation in detail ahead of time, he would be too afraid to give his life. Mitsuo believed that his life was meaningless for a long time, so doing something like saving his friends made him very happy, even though he lost his life in the process.


Boogiepop

Mugen is a young woman with long, straight black hair and dark blue eyes. She has a slender and beautiful Oriental face, but it lacks expression and gives others a doll-like impression. In the illustrations, she is shown wearing a black sleeveless shirt.

Mugen looks like she takes an indifferent and perfunctory attitude towards anything at a glance. In fact, she has no interest in her ability as a Wonder Bearer or in the fate of the war, but simply obeys the orders of the upper echelons of the Army without any personal feelings. For that, although she is sometimes teased as cool or accused of being nihilistic by other Wonder Bearers, it's just a superficial attitude. In her heart, there are so pessimistic feelings about the lost days with her precious family and friends that killed in the past by the attack of the Cardinal Army, and she is participating in the battlefields just to make up for them.
Therefore, on the other hand, she is also a lonely and unstable girl. This is well illustrated in the scene where, after using her "Uprooted" ability to expend a lot of energy, she strongly doubts her way of being as a strategic weapon or abuses stimulants to recover her mind and body.
After her fateful encounter with Tomol Add , the aspect of her as a teen girl in distress is portrayed with more emphasis. As struggling to deal with the feelings for him without clearly understanding they're love, she becomes more and more attached to him.


Boogiepop

Nagi is a tall and imposing young girl with long brown hair and brown eyes. While at school she wears the Shinyo Academy white female sailor uniform, but while on her missions, she wears a black leather skin-tight suit, black gloves and black combat boots.
As Walpurgis, Nagi's hair grows significantly in length, and becomes white, and her skin becomes red, and is covered with several black lines. In this form, the top of her leather suit is unzipped, showing her cleavage, and her gloves, as well as a portion of her suit's sleeves are torn off.
In the anime, Nagi has shorter, shoulder-length black hair, and is seen wearing the Shinyo Academy school uniform, consisting of a blue blazer worn over a white shirt with a red tie around the collar, and a pale blue short skirt, as well as her black skin-tight suit, black fingerless gloves and black combat boots.

Infamous around school for her delinquent behavior, Nagi is an aggressive and brutish individual, unconcerned with any of the Academy's regulations. The teachers cannot find ways to admonish the girl, as she always gets top test scores, and no matter how much she skips school, always knows the subjects taught perfectly. Her threatening demeanor, however, is in fact just a ruse, in order to keep average people away from her. According to herself, after witnessing her father's death, Nagi developed a serious messiah complex, always wanting to "save the day". Her intense wish to become a savior has led her to always get involved any time an enemy of the world rises up. Because of this, Nagi keeps running into Boogiepop and, as the two have the same goals, they developed a collaborative relationship, although Nagi doesn't seem to hold him in very high regard.
She has a relatively good relationship with her brother Masaki, caring after him and doing her best to keep him out of any trouble. Her only friend for most of her time at Shinyo Academy was Naoko Kamikishiro, who she really cared for, starting her hunt for the Manticore because Naoko asked her to help Echoes . Later, however, she also developed a friendship with Kazuko Suema because of the girl's constant insistance, as well as with Kei Niitoki , after their battle with the Manticore. She also became good friends with Kentarou Habara after saving him, and with Aya Orihata , naturally interacting with her after she became her brother's girlfriend.
After Naoko's death, Nagi started to keep all of her friends away from her missions, as she didn't want any more of them to suffer. Kentarou, however, still always tries to insert himself into her business, wanting to prove himself to her. Nagi uses male first person pronouns, and generally speaks in a very boyish manner. It seems she has had this way of speaking ever since she was young, as she was already like this by the time she met Shinpei Kuroda . She dislikes her name, because everyone she meets always misreads it.

Naoko is a young girl with shoulder-length, wavy blonde hair and brown eyes. She is shown wearing the white Shinyo Academy female sailor uniform.
In the anime, Naoko has shoulder-length, wavy, light brown hair and brown eyes. She is shown wearing the Shinyo Academy school uniform, consisting of a blue blazer worn over a white shirt with a red tie around the collar, and a pale blue short skirt.

Naoko is a happy-go-lucky and cheerful girl. Despite her outgoing and nice personality, Naoko was also heavily ostracized by her peers for dating multiple boys, in spite of the strict school rules prohibiting romantic relationships between members of the opposite sex. Even so, she never seemed to mind what others thought of her, making the most of her school life. She was known to be the only friend of the infamous Fire Witch, Nagi Kirima , who even decided to hunt the Manticore and help Echoes purely because of Naoko's request. He was also friends with Keiji Takeda , whom she bonded with over the fact that both of them had illicit relationships with other students, therefore violating the school's rules. Naoko is also fond of singing the romantic ballad Life is Brief . [1]
Naoko is a very romantic individual, falling for Shirou Tanaka , even though he was younger than her, and it was considered strange for girls to date younger boys. Although Shirou initially rejected the girl (more out of nervousness than any dislike for her), Naoko continued to pursue him until he eventually agreed to date her. At the same time, Naoko also started going out with Akio Kimura . Although their relationship is quite physical and occasionally sexual, neither Akio nor Naoko called it a romantic one, as both of them had other partners (although, in hindsight, Akio later admitted that Naoko was his only true love). [2]
Naoko is a very kind and deeply compassionate person at heart, who does her best to help the people around her. This was most apparent in how she treated the wounded Echoes when she encountered him. She seemed to have a telepathic connection with Echoes, as she could perfectly understand him, despite the alien's inability to speak with any words he hadn't previously heard. Naoko herself didn't even seem to realize she could read Echoes' thoughts until later. [5] Once, while talking with Akio about Echoes, she called the alien an "angel" that came to "judge humanity". [2] Because of her kindness to Echoes, he judged that humans are worth to let live, and so Naoko is referred to as the savior of humanity, although she sadly didn't survive the incident, having been murdered by the Manticore.

However, after witnessing Kouji's special ability, Nozomi lied about possessing one of her own, knowing that if she didn't, he would cut her out of his life in fear of dragging her into trouble.

Kuroda often used to say that "a Scarecrow and a Pigeon are an odd couple", to which she would respond that "Scarecrows only scare away crows". This is why, after the Towa Organization sent Mo Murder to assassinate Kuroda for betrayal, Pigeon became extremely furious at the assassin, even though she still had to interact with him for work. Her hatred was so strong that, when Makiko Kisugi asked her for help in killing Masanori, Pigeon agreed, throwing her life away in the process. In her final moments, Pigeon mistook a young Boogiepop for Kuroda's sprit, and asked him if they would meet again in heaven, but Boogiepop responded that they would instead meet in hell.

Having been created primarily from Mamoru Oikawa's memories, Poom Poom has the appearance of the boy's younger self, specifically donning the Pied Piper of Hamelin costume which Mamoru had worn during his school play. He is a young boy with short brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a green cape over a red and green tunic with a brown belt, green pants and brown boots, as well as a pointy red hat. In Kouji Ogata's rendition of the character, Poom Poom has a green hat with two brown belts wrapped around it, as well as a red scarf.

Poom Poom acts in a childlike manner, befitting his appearance. He is welcoming of all children, drawing out the childhood memories from people and allowing them to play freely, without worry, and he is constantly on the search for more children to join him. Conversely, he is hostile towards all adults; he initially tries to persuade Nagi Kirima to 'stop pretending to be alone' and join him, abandoning her determination, but when she rejects him, he is angered, ordering his friends to eliminate her using their abilities [1] .
He refers to Manaka as his best friend, being grateful to her for having 'saved' him. He is also shown to be close to Akane Kojima 's child form, who bestows him with the name Poom Poom. He refers to his base of operations, the abandoned Paisley Park , as "his country" [1] .
In his confrontation with Boogiepop, Poom Poom's true nature is exposed; he is only pretending to be an innocent, and in truth his motives are determined by the collective regret of the outcasts of society and their inability to conform to the paths set out for them. As such, he is driven to convince others that they've shed the most important parts of themselves while growing up, that the nostalgia and freedom of the past is far preferable to the misery of the present. However, Poom Poom claims that he didn't act out of revenge, though he is uncertain whether his existence was evil or not. [1] .

She is portrayed wearing a silver dress made of strips of fabric wrapped around her body, each with three black stripes running along them.

At first glance Tsukushi appears to be an immature and childish girl, constantly complaining about boredom and seeking amusement. She is brazen, constantly ignoring the advice of her guard, Yamagi , and showing little regard for the rules and etiquette expected of a princess. She instantly became curious about the Wind Knight, Heathrow Kristoff, and insisted on meeting him. Behind her immature facade, she is a much more observant individual, having noticed Magitone 's plans to assassinate her in order to fan the flames of war, but she became resigned to her fate, knowing she couldn't do anything to stop it and instead trying to experience as many fascinating things as she can before her death. However, though she was resigned to her own fate, she showed regret at Yamagi being injured during the attempt on her life. Towards her younger brother, King Shirasagi, she feels pity and compassion for his role as king, for which the young boy is completely unprepared, though she believes that Shirasagi should mature and learn to use his power. She wished to make Heathrow her retainer, though knowing he wouldn't agree to that, she promised to save the country in time for his next return, showing her inner strength and determination. She is shown to have an idle interest in Periphery Interference , her favorite book being an academic text about the subject, though she seems more attracted to the inscrutable codes written in it [1] .

Rei is a young woman with short blond hair in a bob haircut.

Rei has a strong personality, befitting her prodigy status. Most people consider her to be an arrogant person, due to her unfriendly demeanor combined with her talent. She is shown to be easily irritated and lack a sense of humor, hardly ever smiling. This contrasts highly with Tosuke, whose goofy personality seemed to be the exact opposite of hers. Even so, the two hit it off almost instantly, understanding each other through their proficiency in making sweets, and developing some amazing products together. While Tosuke often had the tendency to use ridiculously expensive ingredients in his recipes, which made them impossible to produce commercially, Rei's pragmatic outlook made her choose out more viable ingredients.
Rei started making sweets due to a memory of her baking a cake along with her parents, which was one of the few times they did anything together as a family, before both of them died, leaving Rei alone. Due to Tosuke's influence, she slowly started to forget this pain, and so made the decision to quit the company, much to Tosuke's dismay. She had already figured his true nature out by then. The two had very similar kinds of pain, and so, she told him to never feel like he wasn't human again. Before leaving, she shared a kiss with Tosuke, showing that she had romantic feelings for him.

Thus, she started believing that she was a horrible person, and started looking for Boogiepop , wishing that the Shinigami would kill her. Boogiepop, however, told the girl that she was, in fact, a very kind person, and it's because of this that she feels so guilty about what she did wrong.

His best friend was Gen Sakakibara , and he was very similar to his daughter in the sense that he didn't want to endanger his friend under any circumstances. He cared about his daughter very much, so much so that he was able to supress his fear of death just to save her, when he was targeted by Mo Murder . He was in love with his wife, Kyouko , and that love didn't falter even after she divorced him. Even when he found out his wife was having an affair, he didn't stop caring about her, and the only reason the divorce went through was because she wished for it.
For some strange reason, espers seem to be attracted to Seiichi's works, as many of the people who sent the man letters turned out to posses strange abilities, and therefore were eventually killed by the Towa Organization . After finding out this fact, Seiichi predicted that the Organization would soon notice the link between these espers, and would come after him. The only books of Seiichi's that sold well were his non-fiction works, his novels barely ever selling any copies. Even so, those novels were his favorite to write, and the only books that he felt any passion for. He didn't know himself why he continued to write them, even when everyone ignored the works he poured his heart into, and after realizing the secret about the Towa Organization, he stopped writing them entirely, perhaps out of guilt.
He was the man who inspired Suiko Minahoshi to rebel against society when he met her in a park, after she predicted that the man would die using her ability. She also first heard the phrase "Sometimes it snows in April" from him.

Before first meeting Masaki, Shinjirou was a perfectly normal middle-school student, if not a bit rebellious and uninvested in studying. However, after seeing the transfer student, and seeming to instantly fall in love with him. Confused by his feelings, Shinjirou started to direct his frustration towards Masaki, who never noticed the his classmate's secret love. Even though that was the first time he felt attracted to another boy, he seemed to realize the true nature of his feelings himself, although he never admitted them, partly because of a fear of the ostracism he would surely recive from his peers, and partly because he himself was afraid to accept himself. Because of the stress and frustration, he began engaging in some strange behavior, such as orchestrating an attack on Masaki, so he could come out and save the boy, thereby getting on his good side (although this plan was ruined because of the intrerruption of Aya Orihata and Jin Asukai ), and later even stalking Masaki's girlfriend, Aya.
After Spooky E took control of his body, all of his memories of Aya, and, by extension, his love of Masaki, were wiped, and Shinjirou was turned into a completely different person. As he was given the objective of enrolling into Shinyo Academy after graduating from middle school, he started spending almost all of his free time studying, and he became a much more quiet and calm person. His change was so sudden and drastic that his mother noticed a change soon, but she didn't think very much of it. All of his memories of interacting with Spooky E or the Towa Organization were locked down during his time off, only becoming available to him when Spooky E gave him some command. After Boogiepop cut Spooky E's ear off, and saved Masaki from his influence, much of his previous personality remained the same, eventually enrolling in Shinyo Academy, without any memories of his love. Even so, once arriving there, Shinjirou started crying, without realizing himself why that was, showing that, even after his brainwashing, some of his feelings remained intact.

She is shown wearing her school's uniform, consisting of a light purple blazer on top of a white shirt with a violet ribbon tied around the collar, and a light purple skirt.

Spooky E is a tall and obese man with graying brown hair and black eyes. He is described as having thin arms and legs attached to an extremely overweight torso, giving off a grotesque image.

Inside all of his pockets, Spooky E holds cellphones, which he uses to contact all of the people under his control.

He also wears a black metal bracelet around his left arm, green pants with two large bags attached to the belt, and a pair of brown boots.
In Boogiepop Phantom , his appearance is different from his design in the source material, appearing significantly less overweight, having normal eyes and seemingly being bald. He is shown wearing an orange beanie and a dark green hoodie.
Due to his usage of a European name for an alias, he might have the appearance of a caucasian, unlike most other synthetic humans, who have the appearance of Japanese people, and use Japanese names as aliases.

Spooky E is a very aggressive and violent individual, being able to hurt and kill innocent people without batting an eyelid. When speaking, Spooky E usually wears a mocking grin and has a sarcastic attitude, often taking control of the interactions he participates in. This attitude is also seen in Spooky E's best "puppet", Kotoe Kinukawa , who he molded to act exactly the same as him and hold the same desires. Spooky E derives his confidence and will to live from the missions he is assigned by the Towa Organization, believing that becoming useless to them is worse than death. Subsequently, Spooky E gives it his all on every mission he is assigned, and is shown to have become a person of interest in the Organization, being the one to give orders to many agents.
Despite his devotion to the Organization, Spooky E is also shown to posses personal desires outside of his orders, such as his obsession with getting his revenge on Boogiepop for cutting off his ear. This "selfish" aspect of him is what separates him from Aya Orihata, who initially appears to not possess any desires before falling in love with Masaki Taniguchi . As a consequence of his powerful abilities of mind control, Spooky E doesn't see other people as humans with their own selves, instead thinking of them as tools he can take and dispose of at his own convenience. When he found out that all of his puppets escaped his control, he started showing vulnerability, suggesting that he only feels adequate about his own life when he has others under his control.
After he suffered Jin Asukai's mental manipulation, Spooky E had his aggression removed, and was left unable to attack or hurt others, despite his wishes. After realizing that his entire way of life was destroyed, Spooky E showed a calm and composed demeanor for the first time, and killed himself using his ability, after commenting that he always wanted to try something of the sort. Spooky E developed a nervous habit of violently scratching his lost ear's wound, so much so that even his advanced healing wasn't able to recover it, which might symbolize his unwillingness to let go of his grudge.
Spooky E has a preference for junk food and sweets, which most likely lead to his obese body. Regarding his appearance, it seems he has an inferiority complex about it, regarding any "pretty boys" with contempt. However, it seems Tosuke Kigawa is an exception to this rule, Spooky E having felt no malice towards him in spite of his handsome features, and actually sensing that, physically different as they are, they are both deformed in a similar type of way.

Suiko believed that "nothing is decided, and everything is just a possibility", a sentiment closely linked to her ability. Her favorite phrase was "Sometimes it snows in April", which she used as a metaphor for her goal of reforming society. She disliked Boogiepop because she believed that he was stuck in the present, and that his constant efforts to save the current society from "enemies of the world" would never change the fundamental flaws with it. Suiko was determined to achieve her goal, enough to manipulate Jin Asukai's daily life, in order to convince him to join her, although the man always desired change himself. Although her methods were proven wrong, Suiko truly wished for a better world, where everyone could be happy and whole, and not meet the fates that her ability determined, so although she was an enemy to the current world, she wasn't exactly an evil individual.

The Embryo's true form is an invisible and intangible biological wave, but over the course of the story it takes the form of an item inside a portable console game. The console is a small, white and blue oval-shaped device with a small screen, two buttons on the right and four directional buttons on the left, attached to a string. At the end of the arc, it is transferred into a copper-colored Egyptian ankh pendant.

In contrast to the kind and caring older brother image that its original self portrayed, The Embryo acts like a sardonic, jaded and cynical person, constantly making fun of the people holding it and always proposing the most pessimistic possibility. The Embryo's most memorable trait is his constant suicidal pleas, asking everyone it encounters to kill him [2] . When Akiko Honami inquires about why The Embryo wishes to die so much, it explains that it considers itself a fake because of its nature as a copy of someone else's consciousness. It finds no meaning in its life, and feels misery at its impotent state, unable to do anything by itself or reach out to anyone besides those who can hear its voice. It also denies its own emotions due to its inhuman nature [3] .
The Embryo develops a friendly relationship with Akiko, also influenced by her connection to its previous life as Kyou, being proud of her maturity. It also expresses regret at involving her in its mess. Akiko's words to Boogiepop , asking him to spare The Embryo, inspire the being to ponder his desire for death, admitting that it isn't entirely sure where its desire to die stems from, hypothesizing that it may have originated from his past incarnation. He explains that he always had the vague premonition that it would die at the hands of a shinigami . In the end, it decides to try to continue living, if only to deny that premonition, and accepts Boogiepop's plan of handing it over to Fortissimo [1] .
