Valentin usually wears a long-sleeved black hooded shirt with a cape like an assassin. His hair is black in color, a little bit spiky, and relatively short in length.
During his reunion with Mira at the train, he wears a stylish black suit and a tie, plus some dark sunglasses and a very fashionable black top hat, in attempt to hide his true identity as one of the Nine Wise Men.

He used to be a person with middle-class sensibilities, but now that he has graduated over time, he has sealed those days away as black history. He is a top-notch demonologist, and is the strongest of the Nine Sages when it comes to dealing with demons and magical beasts.
Elder, one of the nine wise men and a retired magician. The two names are "Shadow Play Valentin". Currently, it is a character that appears only in the book version and has not appeared in the Web version.
Instead of being weak at interpersonal use, it is extremely vulnerable to demons and demons. He is called the "Black Hero" because he was the only one who protected the city once attacked by the devil. Currently, he takes off his robe when he was a nine wise man and wears a suit, so he can't do his best. He is acting with his fellow White Demon and is called Valley.
In the real world, he was the manager of a pet shop, so he is on good terms with Kagura, who loves cats.


Shenmue

Chai is 160 cm (5' 3") tall and is quite underweight, weighing only 55 kg (121 lbs). He is completely bald, has no eyebrows and has light brown bloodshot eyes. He is missing a lot of his teeth, which are also decaying and has a lot of vains and warts on his head. He wears a purple jacket with ripped short sleeves (dark blue in the concept art) and no shirt under it. He also wears ripped blue jean shorts with a light brown belt made with yarn and has bandages on his arms and legs.

Chai's motives are very mysterious. It is implied he may have lived in poverty, or is still living in poverty, indicated by his starved appearance (he has a weight of 55 kg/121 lbs which is quite underweight for an adult man), dental hygiene (he lacks many teeth and the remaining ones seem decayed), and lack of shoes. He also seems unable to stand up completely straight, implying he has a spinal condition and is unable to treat it by himself, and he has to nearly walk on all fours. It is possible that the Chi You Men are using him for their dirty work in exchange for wealth.
He speaks erratically with a somewhat garbled accent. He seems a bit vain, calling himself the "great Chai". Although unclear, he also seems to suffer from a mental illness of some sort, and he often has a manic expression in his bloodshot eyes.
Chai uses a strange style of martial arts loosely based on Tanglangquan , which seem to match well with his strange appearance and physique.


Shenmue

Charlie is American and is 172 cm (5' 8") tall. He is white-skinned and has short dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes. He has been described to be "ugly as the worst sin". He wears circular-shaped black sunglasses and is often seen wearing a black leather jacket. Under his jacket he wears a dark green tank top, and white and dark yellow suspenders. He also wears black pants and black boots and has a tattoo on his arm.

Charlie is known by the people of Dobuita as a "poser", a "loser", and a "nasty piece of work". Noriyuki Tsuruoka , the owner of Jupitor's Jackets describes him as being "ugly as the worst sin". He's a jerk who feels riding a bike makes him look cool, but he's not a real biker. He even tried to pull a food poison act at Junichiro Nemoto of Smiley Flower Shop's restaurant in Yokohama once.


Shenmue

Dou Niu is Chinese and is a very large man being 220 cm (7'2") tall and weighing 180 kg (396 lbs). He is completely bald, has brown eyes and has a wart on his forehead. He wears a gold chain necklace, a dark turquoise jacket, with yellow and black on it and a design on the back of a red, yellow and gold colored  Chinese demon above bright yellow clouds.

Shenmue

Goro is Japanese and is 180 cm (5' 11") tall. He has black hair that is in a Japanese pompadour hairstyle, and brown eyes. He wears a dark blue jean jacket, with a purple t-shirt under it that has a drawing of a man with a orange  Japanese pompadour hairstyle on it, that says "BAD" in big capitalzated orange, yellow and blue lettering under it. He also wears a silver cross necklace, dark blue jean pants that match his jacket and black shoes.
In Shenmue the Animation , his clothing is near identical, with the only difference being that his shirt has a different design on it. It is instead a big pink hand giving a "thumbs up" with a big gold star right next to it on the right of it.


Shenmue

Guizhang is Chinese and is 175 cm (5' 9") tall. He has black hair and dark brown eyes. He wears a dark grey pinstripe suit with a red tie and white dress shirt under it and black dress shoes. In Shenmue the Animation , his suit is not pinstripe.

As an international businessman, Guizhang knows many different languages, including Japanese, English, Chinese and Russian. He likes Chinese food, especially the very hot Sichuan style, one example being tantan-mian ramen. He also likes GanShaoMinXia, prawns with chili sauce. He is also good at playing pool and likes dancing.


Shenmue

Izumi is Japanese and is 158 cm tall. She has long dark brown hair that is tied into a ponytail and brown eyes. She wears a school uniform, that consists of a dark brown jacket, a light brown vest with a white dress shirt under it. It also consists of a red checkered skirt, long brown socks that are about knee-length and light brown shoes. In Shenmue the Animation , her attire is completely different. She wears a dark blue jacket, with a white dress shirt under it, and a beige apron, which is most likely her uniform for her job at the convenience store.

Izumi is an 18-year-old Japanese student who came to Hong Kong to study. She also studies martial arts. Izumi seems to have a crush on Ryo, as when he asks her about Xiuying Hong she seems to get jealous. Also, she really wants to spend time with him, but Ryo refuses due to his quest for revenge and his shying away from romantic relationships.


Shenmue

Joy is Chinese and is 162 cm (5' 3") tall. She has long orange hair which is dyed, so it is unknown what her natural hair color is. Her eyes are brown in the artwork and renders for Shenmue II and in Shenmue the Animation , but both blue and green in her in-game model in Shenmue II . She wears a necklace and a orange leopard-patterned bra with a dark red strap around it. Her stomach and cleavage are exposed too. She also wears faded blue jeans, a brown belt with a white buckle and brown cowgirl boots.

Joy has an outspoken and confident personality, contrasting the more reserved and shy personalities of Nozomi Harasaki and Shenhua Ling . She lives a risky life on the edge, but she is street smart to make up for it. If one of her friends has been wronged, she can get revenge such as when she fools a scam artist .
She is a fan of biking and seems to enjoy rock and roll music. She may also be a fan of video games, as she can be found in the Pine Game Arcade .


Shenmue

Longqi is Chinese, with an imposing physique. He's about 2 meters tall and sports long hair. He's an arrogant and violent man who easily threatens and laughs at his opponents.


Shenmue

Lan Di can be considered on the large side at a height of 185 cm (about 6'1"). His dark hair is tied into a queue at the back. He bears a vicious looking scar on his left cheek. He has a tattoo on his wrist of the insignia of the Chi You Men. His countenance is mysterious, serious, imposing, intimidating, humorless and lacking of expressed empathy.
Lan Di is constantly seen wearing a green ceremonial robe with a dragon print.


Shenmue

Nozomi is Japanese and is 164 cm (5'3.5") tall. She has medium lengthed dark brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a tan sweater, a black and red checkered skirt, high lengthed dark brown socks, and light brown shoes. In Shenmue the Animation , her hair is a lighter shade of brown, and she is often seen wearing a light brown winter jacket and can sometimes be seen wearing a traditional Japanese school uniform.

Nozomi is very mature and wise beyond her years. However, she apparently believes in the power of good luck charms; one could interpret this as her being a bit naive, more on the "emotional" over "logical" side, or merely superstitious at the least. In the anime, she mentions she wants to believe in the "gods" to watch over Ryo.
While generally shy in nature, Nozomi is shown to have great internal strength and courage, as evidenced by her defending a child being hassled by two thugs and warning them they will regret it if they lay a single finger on her.

Nozomi caring for the kitten.

She is very much a peacemaker who values love over hate. Nozomi is very empathetic, caring for other people. She has her own opinions, but is considerate to others and how they may feel, and gives Ryo and Ine Hayata some flowers after the death of Ryo's father. [1] She also cares for animals such as the orphaned kitten and helps join the search when the kitten goes missing. Nozomi's desire to become an English-Japanese translator also implies an interest in language and a desire to help people communicate; it could be interpreted as her way of breaking down the divisions which can separate people from understanding each other.
Like many young adults, Nozomi is also somewhat confused and uncertain of the future. She is also uncertain with her relationship with Ryo.


Shenmue

Ryo is Japanese and is 176 cm (5'9") tall. He has black spiky hair and dark brown eyes. In the boxart for the first two games, a lot of the 3-D artwork, the Xbox version of Shenmue II , his Shenmue Passport model, and in Shenmue the Animation he has light brown eyes. He has a bandage on his left cheek. He wears a brown leather bomber jacket with a tiger design on the back of it and a short-sleeve white T-shirt under it. He also wears light blue jeans, white, red and black sneakers, and has a Timex brand watch on his left wrist. The Timex brand is removed in the re-release for the first two games Shenmue I & II and in Shenmue III due to licensing issues. In Shenmue III , Ryo's clothes can be changed and there are several different clothing options that can be earned in-game or are DLC.

Ryo was a rather innocent and easy-going high school senior until he witnessed the murder of his father at the hands of Lan Di and has vowed vengeance. Ryo investigated into events leading to his father's death, but the more he investigated, the greater the mystery as he's pressed into the shadow world of martial arts and gangsters. With the limited clues and combat techniques he acquired, his quest began in his hometown and took him deep into China for answers.

An example of Ryo's risky behavior.

As Ryo is only 18 years old, he is a bit naive at times and does not have all the sensibilities of an adult. He can be blunt with his language, such as when he accidentally offends Fangmei Xun by telling her she has eyes that remind him of a cat. Rather stubborn and competitive to a fault, he tends to act impulsively rather than think through a situation logically. For example, when being contacted for the first time after performing the Chawan Sign, he unquestionably dives into the situation despite the signs that one would otherwise feel is dangerous and shady. As seen multiple times in the series, if Ryo feels he has been wronged, he does not give up easily until he is satisfied, such as when his ticket is stolen. He is very risk-driven.
Although sometimes dense around people with bad intentions, Ryo is also quite intelligent and inquisitive in order to find leads. He also knows when surrendering is the better option instead of fighting. He shows that he can adapt remarkably when it comes to driving forklifts and motorcycles.
Ryo has put any resemblance of a love life on hold until his revenge is complete. He knows how Nozomi Harasaki feels about him, but he hides his feelings and acts indifferently towards her.

Ryo fighting bullies.

Ryo has well-intentions and wants to protect his friends and loved ones. This is especially true in Shenmue III , in which he must protect Shenhua Ling at times. He also knows how to act properly around children and does not like seeing them being bullied. He can also be merciful to strangers who've done horrible things; he saved the life of Chunyan Xu who murdered a man (although it is implied that he agreed to be murdered if he lost a fight with her), which stunned her, and she could only ask "why?" [2] He can also be interpreted as caring for animals, as he can care for an orphaned kitten in the first game and can obtain a pet duck in the second, although it is unclear if Duck's inclusion is canon.
However, Ryo is prone to emotions like rage, revenge and anger, often putting himself in morally ambiguous positions. Xiuying views him as impulsive and impatient. Many people throughout the series try to dissuade Ryo from his path of revenge due to the danger involved. It could be said that Ryo's strong desire for revenge is his entire motivation for the series. A bit of his hot-headed and perhaps immature/childish nature could be seen as overlapping with his desire for revenge, as he even goes so far to quit high school and confront gangs just to pursue his father's murderer, while it could be argued that a sane adult would call the police instead of going on a long journey to hunt them down physically just so the revenge can be "personal".
Initially, Ryo is hesitant to fight women, saying, "No way... I'm not fighting a woman." However, he becomes more comfortable with the idea when confronted by Xiuying Hong , who feels insulted by his initial reluctance to spar with her. This makes him willing to challenge other women such as Guixhang Lee, Eileen M. Edelweiss and Chunyan Xu .
Hobby-wise, Ryo seems to enjoy video games to a degree, as he can often play them via arcades, and he also owns a Sega Saturn . He could also be interpreted as a food aficionado of sorts, as he also seems to enjoy experimenting with food, as the player can often try and collect many types throughout the series. The same goes with a perceived hobby of collecting capsule toys. He may have a slight gambling addiction, evident by the fact that he will sometimes say that he should "get another" when using the Gashapon machines and likes going to the small casino in town.
For combat, Ryo is the heir to the Hazuki Family Combat Style (a mix of Jujitsu and Karate). He has been trained by Iwao since a child and haven't fully mastered his training to succeed the school. Due to his martial arts foundations, he was able to pick up new techniques quicker than most people but haven't reached to the rank of master yet. In his hunt for Lan Di, he encountered several martial artists (mostly kung-fu masters) that taught him a few moves of their respective styles. In Japan, he picked up the Tornado Kick from Tom Johnson , Double Blow from Shigeo Yamagishi , Shadow Step and Cross Charge from Shozo Mizuki , Swallow Dive from Guizhang Chen , and Swallow Flip (from Master Chen ). In Hong Kong, Ryo picked up various Tai Chi combat techniques from Master Xiuying Hong , Jianmin Tao , and Guixiang Lee . Through is adventures, he also picked up other martial art moves from various people, books, and scrolls, evolving Ryo into a mixed martial artist of various styles.


Shenmue

Smith is American and is 6'4" cm tall. He is very muscular and weighs 232 lbs. He is black-skinned, and has short black hair that is a military-style haircut and brown eyes. He wears a light purple colored t-shirt, dark green cargo pants and black boots.


Shenmue

Terry is American and is 185 cm (6' 1") tall. He is white skinned, has light brown hair that's tied into a ponytail, a beard, and light green eyes. In Shenmue the Animation , his skin is darker and his eyes are a darker shade of green. He also wears a silver chained skull necklace, a red long sleeved buttoned shirt that has very dark red spots on the collar area and along the buttons, and very dark red flames on the bottom of the shirt and on the wrist area of his shirt. He wears chain bracelets on both of his wrists, and silver rings on one finger of each of his hands. He wears dark yellowish-green and bright red strings around his waist, long dark green pants, and light green sandals.

While commanding all aspects of the Mad Angels illicit activities, Terry only associates with high ranking members of the gang (lower ranking members simply refer to him as 'The Boss of the Mad Angels').

Terry cowardly using a weapon in combat rather than fighting fairly.

Terry acts very tough and intimidating, although he actually is a complete coward. If he realizes his opponent is too strong, and that he doesn't have the upperhand, he will have his men do the dirty work for him. He isn't above fighting dirty and uses weaponry such as steel pipes or metal baseball bats in combat. He is very weak in hand-to-hand combat, and if unarmed against a strong opponent, he will use unfair techniques like throwing dirt into their eyes, and then attacking them while they are unguarded.


Shenmue

Tom is American and is 178 cm (5' 10") tall. He has long dark brown hair that's in a dreadlock hairstyle and dark brown eyes. He always wears red sunglasses that has silver frames and a white and red long sleeved baseball style shirt with the Tom's Hot Dogs logo on it. He also wears long orangeish red jeans and white and light brown shoes.


Shenmue

Tony is American and is 6' 3" cm tall. Due to him being a bodybuilder, he is very muscular and weighs 203 lbs. He is white-skinned, and has short light brown hair and blue eyes. He wears a beige colored t-shirt, dark brown cargo pants and dark brown boots. He also has a tattoo on his left arm.


Shenmue

Ren is 175 cm (5'9") tall. He has long black hair that's in a ponytail and wears a white bandana. He wears a blue short-sleeve Chinese jacket with a design on the back of a red furred horse with light green wings above a bright yellow cloud and he wears no shirt under it. He also wears a beaded necklace, green baggy pants and long brown boots. He also wears a brown belt and has another black and silver belt over it which has a pouch to carry his knife.

Ren is charismatic and both his words and actions lead the way. He doesn't trust anyone, and is obsessed with money. He is quick-witted and good at gambling, largely due to his prowess at cheating. He is mischievous and has two coins, with one having heads on both sides while the other having tails on both sides, which he uses to get his way. Ren also hates being ordered around and gets angry at Ryo when he does that.
The majority of people in Hong Kong fear him and consider him to be very dangerous. Even Xiuying Hong , a martial arts master feels he is dangerous and urges Ryo to not meet him, most likely since she feels his martial arts skills aren't good enough yet. Even a small gang of two brothers in Aberdeen, the Poison Brothers fear Ren despite acting tough and mugging people all the time. They say that if they're poisonous snakes, then Ren would be a wolf. They fear Ren so much, that they politely refuse to take Ryo to the Heavens hideout.
Ren always carries his knife with him and uses it in combat and to threaten people. His surname "Ren" even means "blade", which Wong will tell Ryo if Ren successfully attacks him when they first meet. Although he is skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well and has proven to handle himself against black-suited Chi You Men members that are trained in martial arts no problem. He also defeated one of his henchmen Larry in an one-on-one fight, who used to act as a lone wolf and now works for him. He also seems to participate in street fights most likely to gamble for money, claiming he can handle Greg More , who is a professional wrestler calling him "slow". He also may bet money in street fights regularly since he loves money and gambling, as he bets for Ryo to lose against Greg.
Although Ren is really selfish and greedy especially during his first appearance, he does have a good side deep down. When he tries to get Hongji Huo to give him information on Yuan , he asks Ryo to give him a prize that he owns, but Ryo claims he doesn't have anything (even if he does). Ren is then forced to give away his Mini Afterburner prize to Hongji telling Ryo that he "owes him". Hongji is very happy, excited and jumping up and down and Ren smiles at his happiness, showing that it feels good for him to make others happy. Ren owning the prize also shows that he could be a good gamer and could have won it at the arcade. Or he could have stole it from someone, but his name actually does appear in the top ranking of Hang On , which could suggest that he is a good gamer.
Ren seems to be sexually attracted to women that are not "tough" since he says that Joy is "too tough" for him.
Ren is big rivals with Dou Niu , the leader of the Yellow Heads . Ren feels he is way superior than Dou Niu and has dubbed him "Stupid Dou Niu" due to him being easily fooled. Another big enemy of his is Yuan, who is Dou Niu's right-hand partner. Ren does seem to know that Yuan can be dangerous, since when he captures Shuqin Zhang , he says that it doesn't sound good that Yuan is the one that has him. Ren also feels that Yuan's very weird  due to his odd traits such as collecting knives, drinking tea elegantly and being disgusted at filthy creatures. Ren also knew of Lan Di and the Chi You Men before he even met him and knows how nasty the organization is.
in Shenmue the Animation , Ren seems to really be obsessed with Ryo and is too nice to him even when they first meet. After he heard from his henchmen that he defeated them, he becomes really interested in him before they even meet, and even tries to look for him. In the games, he slowly develops into a better person and is very greedy and selfish at first, and clearly did not care about Ryo at all for a long time. He also doesn't really try to attack him with his knife when they first meet and simply puts the blade to his throat without doing any damage and Ryo did not move when he did that, so he clearly had the advantage.


Shenmue

Wong is 150 cm (4' 11") tall. He has long dark brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a green Chinese jacket with a green shirt under it. He also wears darker green pants and blue tennis shoes with white laces and white soles. In Shenmue the Animation , he is a bit taller and his voice is a bit more scratchy, while in the game his voice is more childish.

Although Wong doesn't seem very friendly, he shows care and affection for Ryo as the story progresses, to the point where he saves him in Kowloon , it's presumed he takes Ryo as his big brother. He also shows Ryo where his bag is after he tries to get it back from him, although it's most likely since he was intimidated by his strength. Although he can admit to Ryo while taking him to his bag that he kind of likes him. Wong is also very michevous and good at tricking people. He is also skilled at picking locks.
He doesn't seem to show remorse for stealing from Ryo and other people, and feels that's what you have to do in Hong Kong, and his excuse for it is that he "can't help it" and has "got to live". In Shenmue the Animation , Wong only steals to survive and wishes he didn't have to do it.


Shenmue

Xiuying is Chinese and is 168 cm tall. She has long dark brown hair tied into a ponytail and brown eyes. She has two different attires that she primarily wears. One is a dark red long-sleeved shirt with a orange belt with a yellow buckle and a light brown skirt with dark red boots. The other is a bright blue sleeveless Chinese robe with no pants and black sandals.

Xiuying is an internal martial artist of an unspecified Taijiquan style and Bajiquan . She's the head of the Man Mo Temple. The full extent of her skills is unclear, but she has earned the rank of master at the age of 26. This makes her one of the youngest successors of a martial arts school. She either earned it through sheer talent or from family inheritance (many schools transfer their power to the next master based on relations and rarely about combat ability). Although young, she's well versed in Taoism, history, and internal martial arts, specializing in literary and martial arts.
Xiuying is a very thoughtful person and always thinks ahead before taking action. She does not speak much nor does she show much expression, but she hides a great deal of sorrow in her eyes. Xiuying encountered Ryo at the temple and decided to help him on his quest to find Lan Di . Realizing he's far from ready to face Lan Di in mortal combat, she took him into the temple and trained in mind, body, and spirit in hopes Ryo can continue his journey with greater combat skill, patience, and having control over his anger for Lan Di.
She is admired for her beauty and wisdom among the people of Wan Chai , and is greatly respected as a person. Mingyi Ye , the owner of Wise Men's Kung Fu even says that he wouldn't mind if she married his grandson, Mingzhen Ye , who is an assistant instructor at the Guang Martial Arts School . The majority of the staff at Man Mo Temple greatly respect her. She is the role model of Fangmei Xun and one of the Temple's apprentices, Jiliang Chang , and they insipire to be like her. Shiquan Fu , the lazy apprentice of the Temple seems to just respect her for her physical appearance, rather then for her personality or knowledge. He says she sometimes gives him the "sweets".


Shenmue

Yuan is 170 cm (5'7") tall. He has short orange hair (Blond in the concept art for the game.) and wears bright red lipstick and has black eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. He has a gold circular earring on his left ear and wears a gold ring on both his middle fingers and has bright red nail polish. He wears a women's red short sleeved dress shirt with his stomach exposed and a black leather vest. He also wears a black belt with a gold buckle, zebra patterned pants and long black women's boots. In Shenmue the Animation , he wears no lipstick and has gold circular earrings on both his ears. His pants are also a solid gray color, and have no zebra pattern on them.

Yuan is sadistic and shows signs of being mentally unstable. An example of this would be when he was willing to torture Shuqin Zhang for information on Yuanda Zhu . He even claims that he was going to make him "spill his guts." He also maniacally chases Ryo Hazuki and Wuying Ren with a chainsaw when they infiltrate the Yellow Head Building and is intent on shredding them into pieces. He is also feared among the majority of people in Kowloon and they feel he's very dangerous and that there's something "wrong" with him. A cooked food stand owner in Kowloon, Jiayu Kun is one of the only people outside of the Yellow Heads that actually seem to respect Yuan in any way, although this is most likely due to him being attracted to him. Yuan is also a narcissist and has a very feminine way of speaking and acting which he is criticized and shunned by his henchmen for. He is second-in-command of the Yellow Heads and is the right-hand partner of the gang's leader Dou Niu, whom he has known for a long time. They are also involved in a romantic relationship, which is speculated why he has such a high rank in the gang.

Yuan being compulsively disgusted by filthy creatures.

Yuan hates filthy and ugly things and compulsively cleans anything dirty, messy, or smelly. He also seems to wear both men's and women's clothing as seen in the closet in his room. He is also clumsy when flustered which results in him tripping.
Yuan enjoys collecting knives and has a wall full of them in his room. He is also skilled at using knives and other weaponry such as steel pipes and chainsaws in combat. He is also a practitioner of the Mantis Dagger Fist .
In his room , a framed photo of Dou Niu can be seen on a table along with a small box with jewelry in it. If Ryo locks on to the box of jewelry, Ren will steal it from Yuan. He also owns a pet myna bird that repeats anything anyone says. Ren used this to his and Ryo's advantage to trick Dou Niu and escape from him when he was heading towards Yuan's room when they where rescuing Zhang.
Yuan seems to be fond of the color purple, as he thought the color of his refrigerator being purple would be perfect for his room, complaining to the apartment staff that it needed to be replaced because it wasn't the said color. He also enjoys drinking tea at the Cafe Anna and feels it's an "elegant" way to spend his time.


Sherlock Hound

William is a pale, lean young man with blonde hair that is medium in length with long side bangs and a prolonged side fringe. One of his most striking features are his scarlet eyes. He has a handsome appearance and has been told he looks better when he smiles.
For clothing, he wore a brown three-piece suit with a red tie and a golden pocket watch. In some scenes he was seen wearing a top hat and holding a cane. The cane would also frequently function as his weapon since it could be unsheathed and act as a sword.


Sherlock Hound

Irene Adler is a tall Englishwoman in her twenties/thirties. She wears her dark hair in a vintage inspired updo, and dons bright red lipstick. She is seen wearing skintight black and white dresses.

Adler is scheming and manipulative. She uses her profession to gain insight into the top secret activities of individuals and governments. She compiles these on a cameraphone with which she plans to extort the British government. She has significant connections in the criminal underworld, including hiring Moriarty to help her get the most use out of her leverage.

Even Sherlock and Mycroft admires her ingenuity. As a dominatrix, she enjoys BDSM activities and is not ashamed to reference these in conversation. Adler can be cold and calculating one minute hot and heavy the next. She flirts jokingly with men like John and Mycroft to prove her dominance over them. She self-identifies as a lesbian (though this could've been a lie to throw Watson off), but maintains her attraction to Sherlock.


Sherlock Hound

He has blond hair, scarlett eyes and years glasses . A burn mark on his right cheek which he inflicted on himself.

Louis is extremely devoted to his older brother, even while committing acts of crime. He is able to do what his older brother asks him to do, even if he cannot.
When he was a child he was weaker because of his poor health. He let it go, and obeyed his adoptive mother. But growing up, he asserted himself, going so far as to confess to his brother his feeling of being excluded and his willingness to take part in missions.
He is quite loyal to his brothers especially William.


Sherlock Hound

Fred has jet black hair, pale skin and grey eyes. His build is slim yet slightly muscular and he has bandages wrapped around both his forearms ending just before his wrists.
He is usually seen wearing a long-sleeved white dress shirt with blue rectangle cufflinks tucked into navy blue pants, which are held up by Y-back suspenders. He wears a black coat over his shirt and has a light blue scarf around his neck that can double as a hood.
Has a pen and notebook tucked into the breast pocket of his shirt, which he uses to gather information when looking for crimes related to nobles.

Fred is rather quiet and 'unsociable' as Moran calls him when he first appears in The Dancers On The Bridge. He rarely talks unless prompted, except when reporting or adding a comment to an ongoing conversation or event.
Despite seeming withdrawn, he is a gentle and kind person at heart, shown when he heard about the children in The Hunting Of The Baskervilles, and expressed a strong desire to save them. Moran says that he is the only one among the group who is similar to William, in that both are unable to leave someone in need alone.


Sherlock Hound

Mycroft Holmes was a much larger and stouter man than Sherlock. His body was absolutely corpulent, but his face, though massive, had preserved something of the sharpness of expression which was so remarkable in that of his brother. His eyes, which were of a peculiarly light, watery gray, seemed to always retain that far-away, introspective look which Sherlock only possessed when he was exerting his full powers (" The Greek Interpreter "). He had a head so masterful in its brow, so alert in its steel-grey, deep-set eyes, so firm in its lips, and so subtle in its play of expression, that after the first glance one forgot the gross body and remembered only the dominant mind (" The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans ").

Mycroft Holmes possessed greater powers of deductive reasoning compared to his brother, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock even stated that Mycroft possessed in a larger degree a faculty of observation and peculiar facility for deduction than himself. He was unwilling, however, to put physical effort behind these powers. It was implied that he lacked practicality and completely dispassionate. Mycroft occupied an unspecified role in the British government. His brother stated that Mycroft audited books for certain government departments; however, his true role was hinted as to be more substantial and influential. (" The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter ")
Mycroft also spent large amounts of time at the Diogenes Club and was seven years older than Sherlock.


Sherlock Hound

Fitzsimmons is described as a short, fat man of about forty years of age. He was almost entirely bald, and frequently wore dark clerical clothing.


Sherlock Hound

Helen was described as having the features and figure of a thirty-year-old woman, but her hair was shot with premature grey. During her first meeting with Holmes and Dr. Watson , the latter two noted that her face was all drawn and grey, with a weary, haggard expression, and she had restless, frightened eyes like those of a haunted animal.


Sherlock Hound

Roylott is described as a huge, intimidating figure with a large face, seared with a thousand wrinkles and tanned from the sun.  His eyes are deep-set and bile-shot, and his nose thin and high. Conan Doyle relates Roylott's appearance as that of an old bird of prey.


Sherlock Hound

The Cossack is fairly tall. He has brown hair, which he keeps long, and sports a beard and moustache. He wears an astrakhan fur coat and hat. Sherlock Holmes detects him because of his overpowering odor, a mixture of herring pickled in vodka mixed and his terrible body odor.


Sherlock Hound

Moriarty is of average height, standing a couple of inches below Sherlock, and of a slender build, with dark black hair and pale skin. He can nearly always be seen wearing full dress suits (Westwood, to be precise), such as a dark blue one he wore in his first meeting with Sherlock and a grey one during his visit to the latter's apartment, often accompanied by a tie. As "Richard Brook", he seemed to put on a more standard image, with unruly hair and casual clothing.

A criminal genius, Jim Moriarty was a sadistic and psychopathic individual. He exhibited the following traits: extreme intelligence, grandiosity, incapacity for remorse, arrogance, and an unhealthy degree of self-confidence. He also displayed highly Machiavellian traits. Much like Sherlock, he had a sarcastic, cynical, albeit childish sense of humour but unlike Sherlock he often spoke in a tone that would intimidate or annoy his opponents.
Moriarty was arranging the deaths of others from a young age. In 1989, he killed schoolboy Carl Powers . He appeared to be a highly efficient criminal businessman and had a humongous network of people at his command. Moriarty seemed to show, at least superficially, concern for children, as he paid Jeff Hope large amounts of money for his children every time he killed, however he actually has no care for them as shown when he had a bomb strapped to a very young boy.
Moriarty was obsessed with Sherlock Holmes and appeared to enjoy his role as a villain. Moriarty, like Sherlock, was willing to do anything to stop himself from getting bored. He was capable of frightening mood swings. He was ruthless, and committed torture and murder in sadistic ways, and when Sherlock accused him being responsible for people's deaths, Moriarty screamed at him 'That's what people do!', indicating that he didn't care if people lived or died. He also rather glibly referenced people's deaths when he was personally responsible, citing that Carl Powers ' laughed at me, so I stopped him laughing '.
Moriarty was a man who would resort constantly to humour regardless of the situation, especially when mocking people for falling for his deceptions - when he faced off against Sherlock at the swimming pool, he taunted Sherlock with the fact that he managed to convince the detective he was gay. When he played a sadistic trick on Sherlock with a derisive video during a taxi journey, he remarked ' No charge' when Sherlock discovered him. When Sherlock held him over a rooftop and threatened to let him fall to his death and labelled him insane, Moriarty shot back ' You're just getting that now ', to belittle Sherlock.
Moriarty believed his only weakness (or at least openly suggested it to be) that he was extremely changeable - this was prominently shown in him first deciding to abandon his showdown with Sherlock, only to abruptly return and threaten Sherlock again.
It is very debatable as to whether or not Jim fears death - he showed absolutely no concern or fear when he was held at the point of a gun by Sherlock (most likely because he knew he had too many advantages on the man at the time), only to cry out when Sherlock threatened to throw him from a rooftop.


Shi ga Futari o Wakatsu Made

Anna appears to be a young, adolescent girl with long black hair and large brown eyes. She usually wore a muted blue, knee-high dress with long white socks and dark shoes.
Upon enrolling into Aitou Academy, she wore the school uniform.

Anna is silent and reclusive, typically sitting alone at the first table in Tea Room Siren. There, she asks a riddle to clients who enter; only those who answer correctly will have their cases heard out. The only one above this ritual is Daiba Tatsumi, who never bothers answering her riddles yet uses Tate's abilities anyways.
Due to her naturally-high IQ and extremely high intelligence, plus the unique circumstances of her childhood, she doesn't often mix with people her age. However, she eventually grows close to Haruka Tooyama and Ashe , both of whom were in circumstances similar to hers.
Prior experience with dangerous situations combined with her high intuitive abilities makes Anna nigh-unflappable even in the face of highly volatile situations. While she has no combat abilities of her own, she walks into dangerous situations without a hint of doubt, though she also knows how to keep herself hidden to avoid being a liability.
Despite all of the above, Anna is not above certain childish streaks. For one, she gets intensely jealous over Tate and can act rather petty towards those she thinks are a "threat" to her relationship with him. She also dislikes those who do not abide by her ritual of answering her riddles, and will even refuse to take requests if the potential client does not agree to it. Furthermore, due to her sharp intuition, she grows visibly displeased whenever someone subverts her expectations, as seen when Genda correctly answers her riddle and Jesus reveals he already knew who she was.


Shi ga Futari o Wakatsu Made

For the majority of the series, Haruka has long blond hair and dark brown eyes. She often wears her hair down or has parts clipped up with barrettes. Also, she frequently wears short dresses and shorts outside of her school uniform.
During the time that Haruka went undercover as a student (under the pretense of being Sierra's daughter and as Igawa's younger sister), she wears large framed glasses and a short black wig. Another time, she is seen only wearing the glasses and a baseball cap to hide her identity. During the 'Five Minute Gang' saga, Haruka dons the same glasses and a long black wig.

In front of others, Haruka tries to be mature and strong. She does her best not to inconvenience others and overall does not want to be a burden to Mamoru. She goes as far to ask him to kill her if she becomes a burden to him. She does not like to see others getting injured because of her, and tries to avoid involving innocent people.
When told that she does not have to put on such a mask by Mamoru, Haruka shows more of her childish side befitting of a middle schooler. Even after that, however, Haruka is afraid of being useless or burdensome to others. As she begins to lose some of her precognitive abilities, which puts her entire party at risk along with Jesus and Tate Karito , she begins having a mental breakdown.

Jesus has spiky black hair and dark eyes. He usually wears a jacket and a tee shirt, with pants.
As Fujisawa Shingo, he wears a formal suit and wears rectangular glasses. He also hides a knife and a gun under his suit, just in case.

Jesus is the great assassin of the Underworld, yet dislikes useless killing.
As a teacher, Fujisawa acts a little dumb. He's always nice to his students, often smiles and jokes. He is rather protective of his students, seen when he enters a battlefield in search of his kidnapped student. When Trump threatened Haruka's safety, he vowed to kill them.


Shi ga Futari o Wakatsu Made

Mamoru is a tall man in his late twenties to early thirties with short, shaggy black hair. Due to his blindness, he always wears dark sunglasses and walks around with a walking stick... But actually, those are disguises.
While his blindness is real, his sunglasses project a map of his surroundings, allowing a degree of vision and even giving him an advantage in certain situations. The tip of his walking stick has the same ability, but the walking stick itself is actually a sheath and disguise for the katana within it.

Mamoru is outwardly aloof and callous, but hidden within him is his attentive and justice-driven side. While he doesn't openly show sympathy and claims he solely saved Haruka because she'd give him a good battlefield to fight on, he is actually deeply enraged by her situation.
Witnessing his parents' gory deaths at the hands of a drunk driver severely impacted a young Mamoru's mindset. Because of this, people who think nothing about how their actions impact others, and in particular those who perform criminal activities for selfish motivations, enrage him.
Witnessing the actions of some of humanity's worst, such as the Transplant Connection 's work, has left Mamoru extremely jaded—something he's all too aware of. It is the source of his brutal ruthlessness that most of the network disapproves of; however, Tatsumi Daiba allows it because he knows Mamoru's background.
In battle, Mamoru is a pragmatist who does anything that will give him victory, as long as it won't kill. He relishes fighting strong opponents or strong tacticians and seeks to hone his skill with the blade to its peak.

He is also unable to understand Satsuki Usui and Asahi’s feelings for him, even when they shows obvious signs that they liked him but he never noticed.

After she worked up the strength to confess, she was shown to be patient as she gave Haruto time to give an answer. When she saw that he didn't feel the same way, Satsuki was shown to be hurt but didn't lose her composure though shed small tears.

Shimanami Tasogare

Utsumi is typically outgoing and friendly to everyone he meets, and he respects those around him. He is a loving friend, standing up for his friends and being there for them. He is also shown to be passive and easily forgiving when somebody is unintentionally demeaning in some way or another. However, it is shown that he keeps his true feelings hidden to not disturb the relationships he has with people who say well-meaning, yet hurtful things to him, like his former school classmate, Oyama Shoko .


Shimanami Tasogare

Shoko Oyama has short, neat, wavy, black hair.
She is usually seen wearing puffy clothes with cuffed sleeves and mom jeans.

Shoko Oyama is a well-intentioned woman, who tries to be an ally. However, her well-meaning actions, as well as her overbearing behavior, tend to hurt those around her, as she even dead names and forcibly outs Utsumi, without his consent.
She appears to be a kind mother who likes socializing. But a lot of the stuff she says that is supposedly in support of the people at the Drop-in center , really just comes across as ignorant and insensitive, making them uncomfortable most of the time.

Shimanami Tasogare

Someone-san has dark brown hair and green eyes. They wear their hair in a ponytail and are mostly seen in rather loose, baggy clothing. In the past, they had shorter hair and wore more formal clothes.

Overall, Someone-san's personality is hard to grasp. Most drop-in center members seem to not know much about them. However, while they are quiet and mysterious, and they may seem cold, they are caring at heart and highly perceptive of what other people are currently going through.


Shimanami Tasogare

Shimanami Tasogare

Due to his inner conflict, he usually tends to look rather down, concerned or lost in thought. However, the more he learns about and interacts with the other patrons of the Drop-in center, the more he tends to smile. He is also easily flustered by thoughts of Toma.
As a student he usually wears his school uniform. However, in his free time he is often seen wearing plain shirts, which are either short-sleeved or long-sleeved depending on the season.
While participating in his club activities, like all other members, he sports his Shimanami High gym uniform.

Reflecting his generally average appearance, Tasuku seems to have a rather timid personality. When he gets forcibly outed at school, he desperately tries to blend in to the point where he will use homophobic slurs and make offensive comments as a defense mechanism so that no one at school will think he is gay. Though he almost immediately regrets his words, they reflect Tasuku's internalized homophobia, as he himself states in his conversation with Someone-san in chapter one, saying, "I tried to maintain that secret by even using words that would hurt me the most if someone had said them to me".
Tasuku is also kind at heart and tries to be understanding towards others, since he too wants to be understood. He even goes out of his way to help Misora get more comfortable with himself and to help him explore his true identity. Even when his attempts fail and Misora outs him in public, Tasuku stays rather calm and later asks himself what he could have done differently to prevent hurting Misora.

Shimoneta

Anna has silver and short hair with a black headband, and has turquoise-colored eyes. She is usually seen wearing her Tokioka Academy uniform. Her PM is also unique to her, as it resembles a snowflake.

At first, Anna was a very kind, sweet, and innocent person who made it her goal as Student Council president to end Blue Snow's terrorist attacks once and for all. In " Whom Does Public Order and Morality Serve? ", Anna admits that she is so naïve when it comes to sexual things that sometimes, she cannot tell what's inappropriate and what isn't. Her naivety is shown in " The Mysteries of Pregnancy ", when she puts up a painting in the Student Council meeting room, not realizing that the painting is meant to be lewd. Even after burning the painting, she still doesn't know what's lewd about it.

Ayame walking in on Anna raping Tanukichi .

However, in " The Saying Goes...Love Is Justice ", Anna began to take on a much more creepy and perverted personality. Tanukichi had been dealing with a stalker who left him tons of love letters and even a gooey substance at his entrance. To get Otome to learn how to make dirty drawings, Ayame forced Tanukichi to take one for the team and have sex with his stalker. It was revealed that the stalker was Anna, who ended up raping Tanukichi. Her sexual naivety comes into play once again, this time in a much more sinister way. Ayame points out that she doesn't know how to handle her feelings for Tanukichi, and she mistakes true love for lust. Perhaps the most infamous example of this occurs in " Dirty Terrorism Benefits Whom? ", when she gives Tanukichi cookies which she had made with her "love nectar". Throughout the episode, Anna's obsession with Tanukichi only got worse, as she chased him around the school in order to taste some of his "love nectar". Anna became so obsessed with Tanukichi that when she started to ejaculate for another man, not realizing that it was just Tanukichi disguised, Anna became so upset that she jumped off the highest point of Yatsuga Forest in an attempt to commit suicide. From then on, any morally pure thing that Anna does is not only fueled by her mother 's wishes, but also by her love for Tanukichi.

Anna stabbing the floor around Kosuri .

Anna also begins to grow a "yandere" personality, becoming extremely jealous whenever she sees Tanukichi hanging out with another girl. In " Dirty Terrorism Benefits Whom? ", while Ayame and Tanukichi were having a conversation about how weird Anna had become, Anna suddenly broke through the fence in which Ayame was leaning on and held a pair of scissors to her head. In " Handmade Warmth! ", while Hyouka and Tanukichi were arguing over the massage egg, Anna walked in and saw them together. Anna assumed that they were having sex, and she got so jealous that she broke the doorknob apart from the door. Towards the end of the episode, Otome said a dirty remark, causing Anna to get jealous again and strangle Tanukichi. In " The Devil Blows His Own Trumpet ", Anna had stood outside Tanukichi's apartment, watching him sleep with Kosuri for the whole night while holding a knife. To try to resolve the situation, Tanukichi had no choice but to lie to Anna and say that he and Kosuri were illegitimate siblings. After Kosuri pushed the act a bit too far, Anna threw the knife near Kosuri's head, pushed her to the floor, and stabbed around her "Five-Finger-Fillet" style. Every time that she nearly stabs someone in the series, she usually says that her hand moved on its own.


Shimoneta

Annie has blue eyes, short, blond hair, and a large bust. She also wears a pair of red-framed glasses.

Annie Brown is an American technical expert hired by the Japanese government to promote the PM technology overseas, but has a tenuous grasp of the Japanese language, leading to her often using dirty innuendo when she tries to speak it. She later became attracted to Tanukichi .


Shimoneta

Ayame has black hair that goes down to her waist and golden eyes. She possesses a slim and curvy build with long legs.
At Tokioka , Ayame wears a normal Japanese school uniform, which consists of a grey blazer, with a red tie, and a contrasting navy blue skirt as well as red and white standard issue dress shoes. She also wears a fake pair of black glasses with false lenses. Her hairstyle is the tuxedo braid.
When outside of school, she hikes up her skirt to reveal that she wears thigh-high stockings with a small portion of her thighs slightly exposed.
When Ayame acts as her alter-ego, Blue Snow, she wears a white cloak coat that covers most of her body. She also wears her white panties as a mask.

Ayame takes on an "erodere" personality. [1] One of her most defining traits is that she loves to tell dirty jokes, and does so almost all the time. She is also quite perverted as she also loves to look at porn, and has even had thoughts about getting a vibrator when she was younger. Her yaoi fetish led to her and Otome creating a manga dedicated to shipping Tanukichi and Gouriki . Because of her love of dirty things, Ayame created an alter-ego named Blue Snow and formed the terrorist organization, SOX , in order to protest the morality laws. She was willing to hijack a school assembly to show and narrate footage of bugs having sex, and even take on an entire group of Decency Squad officers in order to get a stash of porno magazines. At Tokioka Academy , Ayame is noticeably much more serious than she acts outside. As Anna said, "once you get to know her, you'll realize that she's a big softie inside."
However, despite her perverted personality, she is surprisingly naïve when it comes to actual sexual situations. After Ayame walks in on Anna raping Tanukichi, she is shocked and disgusted. To make things worse, Ayame saw Tanukichi's penis and screamed in horror. In Episode 10 , when Kosuri points out that Takuma 's penis is showing, Ayame quickly looks away. In Episode 12 , when Ayame and Tanukichi walk down the hallway to retrieve their clothes, Ayame is noticeably embarrassed as the two were wearing nothing but black lingerie. Tanukichi points out the irony of her embarrassment.


Shimoneta

Binkan-chan has green eyes and short, brown hair with strands of hair sticking out on each side of her head. She usually wears the Tokioka school uniform with a knee length skirt. While her chest appears to be quite small in school uniform, it is revealed in Episode 12 that her chest is large.

Nothing is really known about Binkan-chan's personality, although she does show interest for SOX's actions, just like the majority of Tokioka students. When she appears, she usually looks shy or afraid.


Shimoneta

Chinanago is a male Splendid Garden eel with orange and white stripes.


Shimoneta

Danroku has a relatively slim torso and wavy hair, much like his grandson, Keisuke Onigashira .


Shimoneta

Hyouka's main feature is her messy, green hair, which is complemented by her purple eyes and deep bags under her eyes. Her fashion consists of a long, white lab coat on top of her school uniform, but she has been known to wear just her school uniform on occasion.

Hyouka is a quirky and deadpan girl who is often very quiet and anti-social. It is also safe to assume that she spends most of her time in her laboratory, which is evidenced by her slender (almost starving) body and deep bags under her eyes. She is obsessed with studying how organisms reproduce, as shown through her constant research of insects during sex, and how she is always asking Tanukichi to confirm her hypotheses. She also seems to have a fetish for yaoi, as she is shown to love reading Ayame and Otome 's novel series, Please Don't Hate My Banana .


Shimoneta

Keisuke has black, wavy hair, much like his grandfather, Danroku .

In his first full appearance in Volume 4 of the manga, it is revealed that he enjoys cross-dressing as a girl. Although, it is not made clear if it is a mere sexual fetish or a lifestyle.
In the manga, he was depicted to be devious and cunning. Though he may be a reasonable man on the outside, his true intentions say otherwise.


Shimoneta

Kosuri is a young girl with short, fuchsia colored hair that largely resembles the tip of a penis and has green eyes. Her hair tends to lend down whenever she's sad, losing its shape. She also usually wears a blue t-shirt with a yellow tie and blue shorts, along with knee-high striped socks and a handbag that is worn across her torso.

Kosuri is very manipulative and often uses her young and innocent appearance to lure people into a false sense of trust. Her manipulative traits are especially highlighted in Episode 8 , when she revealed to Tanukichi that she manipulated the entire student council in Zoshigaoka Academy in order to prove to her idol, Ayame , that she is more useful for SOX than Tanukichi. Earlier in the episode, Tanukichi talked to Kosuri and Otome about first meeting Ayame, and Kosuri noticed that Tanukichi had feelings for her. She used his feelings to manipulate him into not ratting her out.
She can be overly enthusiastic with her goals and is not above using aggression or even betraying her own comrades and friends to achieve them.
Kosuri usually does not refer to herself with pronouns. Instead, she speaks in the 3rd person.


Shimoneta

Masashi has wavy, black hair. He also wears a dark-blue suit with a red tie.

Not much is known about Master's personality, other than that he is a quiet and reserved person. He doesn't have a problem with Ayame using the café as the headquarters for SOX , and he is willing to help Ayame when she's in the café.


Shimoneta

Matsukage appears to be a middle-aged man with straight, gray hair.


Shimoneta

Nadeshiko has dark purple hair and wears a light purple robe.

Nadeshiko has a keen observation and low cunning.


Shimoneta

Oboro has a very feminine build with long black hair and black eyes.
He wears a female uniform and pretends to be a woman as ordered by Matsukage Nishikinomiya to make his job easier as well as to prevent him from developing any feelings for Anna.

None. Oboro has been trained to like and dislike everything that Anna Nishikinomiya does, showing very little sense of self. In Episode 9 , he stated that "if Anna thinks peppers are delicious, then I think they are delicious. If she thinks that pudding is disgusting, then I think they are disgusting."


Shimoneta

Otome has short bob cut black hair. She is also much smaller than the average height of students in Tokioka Academy despite being an upperclassman. She is usually seen wearing her Tokioka uniform.

At first, Otome acted very angry and condescending in her first major appearance. When she was awarded her certificate for winning in the Spring Art Show, she ripped the certificate apart, to the surprise of everyone. She dragged Tanukichi to the art room and threatened to reveal his connections to SOX if he didn't help her in her romantic conquest. When Tanukichi reacted surprised, Otome quickly grew angry at him and nearly kicked him in the face before Gouriki came in and picked up Otome. Later in the episode, when she and Tanukichi were meeting in the Felersio Café , Otome mentioned that she fears that she is making her romantic interest (which was revealed to be Anna ) uncomfortable. Tanukichi grinned, which made Otome angry and caused her to grab him by his uniform.
After Otome joined SOX, she acted much more calm and cool, at least when she wasn't making pornographic drawings. Making pornographic drawings seems to be Otome's passion, and she always acts crazy whenever she thinks or sees something lewd. Her inspiration to make lewd drawings was sparked after she saw Anna rape Tanukichi, and in Episode 6 , she tries to get the two together so she could draw them "body-melding".

Shinkalion: Change the World

In the Metaverse , they manifest as an avatar resembling a female humanoid robot wearing Shinkansen attendant uniforms.

Unlike Vina , who is a specialized Navigate AI created by Ina Onari , normal Navis speak in a monotone voice, and do not express their own personality or emotions.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Shashot is capable of "interlock", a function to enhance the performance of a Shinkalion unit, specifically the E5, and reduce the burden to its driver at the same time by linking up the images between the driver and himself. Shashot is also able to store Shinca Cards inside an IC card slot in his stomach, and provide the cards to Hayato when needed.
Outside of battles, Shashot also acquires two additional abilities after receiving a tune-up in Episode 20 : The Wing Pantograph DX , a small backpack shaped like the head of E5 with a pair of foldable wings, as well as the personality recognition system, which enables him to analyze other individuals' physiognomy, personality and emotions and rank these three traits on an A to D scale.

Shashot is generally cheerful and friendly, but he does have moments of human emotion thanks to his deep-learning function. He has a close relationship with his partner Hayato, though even he can sometimes find the latter's obsession in railways a little overbearing. He would switch to a more combat-oriented personality once he enters the E5.
Shashot usually speaks in honorifics, and typically ends his sentences with the honorific copula "-de gozaimasu" (でございます). This trait is dropped whenever he is inside a Shinkalion unit.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Like other Navigate AI, Vina's avatar appear as a female humanoid robot wearing Shinkansen attendant uniform. The only difference being that Vina wears a yellow bow tie on her neck.

Unlike other Navigate AI (known as " Navi "), Vina is shown to be very emotional and expressive, with her default personality being that of easily annoyed and easily angered, a stark contrast to Shashot and Smat from the Shinkansen Ultra Evolution Institute , who were both more quiet and composed. A lot of her anger is centered around Taisei; if it's not annoyance over his indecisive and passive behavior, then it's chewing out others for potentially risking his safety. Outside of these moments, however, Vina is perfectly affable and supportive, and serves to fill in the sisterly role left behind following Ina's disappearance.

Bahram has greenish-tan skin and numerous glowing magenta streaks across his body. He wears a brown waist cape and shawl, as well as black armor consists of boots, vambraces, straps, a shoulder pad, a neck brace and a battle helmet. Compared to Camalus, Bahram is shorter and skinnier, though he still retains a muscular physique.

Compared to his comrade Camalus, Bahram is much calmer and more composed, and is more trusting of the Shinkalion drivers. Both, however, are fiercely loyal to the Teoti royalties, and are comparatively more conscious about the morality of their actions.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Camalus has tan skin with numerous glowing magenta streaks over his body, and has long white hair with a matching beard, a small patch on his stomach. He wears brown leg wraps and black armor, consisting of a helmet, straps, vambraces, boots and briefs. Compared to his comrades, Camalus is distinctively larger and bulkier, appearing almost overweight by human standards. However, he is still muscular, and is a competent warrior much like his comrades.

Unlike Bahram, Camalus is much more distrustful of humankind and only began to accept the Shinkalion drivers after eating the station lunchboxes brought from earth by Setsura . He is also much louder and prone to shouting, compared to Bahram's quiet nature. Both, however, are fiercely loyal to the Teoti royalties, and are comparatively more conscious about the morality of their actions.

During most of Taisei's youth - particularly when they saw the E5 car transportation - Ina wore her hair in a ponytail. However, she cut it down to a bobcut just before her disappearance. By the time she returned, Ina had grown her hair down to waist-length. After rejoining ERDA, Ina returned to wearing a bobcut, and wears an ERDA jacket over a Lavender top, with trousers, she also wears Purple High heels as well.

Before her disappearance, Ina was a kind and empathetic individual. She deeply loved her little brother Taisei, wanting him to grow up to be a cool person, and be willing to fight for what he believes in. She was also very strong-willed and impulsive, meaning that it took a lot to make her give up or change her mind.
After Ina’s return, she had grown much colder, and with an intense hatred for the ERDA . She wasn’t even above manipulating Taisei to try and get him to join her. When Taisei refused, Ina willingly left him without a second thought.
After Taisei defeated her, Ina’s personality seemed to return to normal, with no recollection of what she had been doing prior.
It later comes to pass that during Ina's first years at ERDA and while Taisei was still an infant, she was a much more naive, neglectful, and bull-headed woman, who often forced her way through any missteps she takes, often annoying her elder peers. While being around Taisei has calmed her demeanor somewhat, Ina is still prone to similar behaviors in the present, generally earning her the ire of many inconvenienced coworkers.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Ryūji Kiyosu is a fourteen-year-old boy. He wears a long sleeve shirt and long pants.

When he was young, Ryūji was no different than ordinary kids, but after his father died he fell silent, before taking up karate to cope. A few words from his mother also inspired him to be more responsible, which took effect when he began caring for his siblings after she fell ill. This carried over and had a profound effect on his older self; As a teenager, Ryūji is far more mature than the other Shinkalion drivers, having an air of discipline that generally makes him more likely to take charge in battle. He is also very pragmatic; although he respects Hayato's high compatible rate, he regularly restrains the E5's driver to fighting on the sidelines due to his initially poor combat prowess. As a result, the other drivers saw him as inflexible and rigid.
Although he seems to be aloof, Ryūji holds a high level of familial loyalty, and deeply cares for his mother and siblings. Despite this, he doesn't hesitate to reprimand Tatsumi whenever he acts impulsive or gets distracted. Over time, though, the other drivers' influence, in addition to words from his family, have softened his cold demeanor. Although initially reluctant, he later began training Hayato in karate willingly and even joined in some of the group's activities. As a result, he became much more respective to the other drivers, and even began researching railways in the hopes of becoming a director.
While Ryūji does his best to give an excellent performance in all of his endeavors, he tends to struggle in situations he is vastly unfamiliar with; he quickly lost his cool over a bonding attempt during a meal due to the other participants' eating customs being vastly different from that of his family's, and he was in utter disbelief after only scoring 2 points out of the 100 on Hayato's railway test, which worsened after he continually failed to answer questions in Futaba 's railway tour quiz later on, though he eventually recovered from the setback.
By the second season, Ryūji was far more composed and flexible due to his time spent fighting for the SUEI, despite having his compatible rate drop due to age. Additionally, his experiences with Hayato also made him quick in attempting to resolve conflicts, even employing similar tactics at times.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Shion originally used a male avatar that was aged around the mid-teens. After interacting with the other drivers, she began using an avatar more accurate to her actual self.

Despite being quiet and reserved for the most part, Shion is very family-focused and is a dedicated martial artist, often training in her family's dojo and helping out her grandparents whenever she can. Aside from this, Shion is very friendly and approachable, and will not hesitate in standing up for those in need of help. Due to her training, Shion can be very stern and focused, with her only reaction to two delinquent students trying to sexually harass a classmate being to wordlessly send them flying back with a punch and kick for each.
Due to living in a relatively isolated area, Shion takes her friendships very seriously, and actively avoids doing anything that may hurt her chances of gaining and retaining any friends she makes. Hilariously, Shion herself admits that she can be a bit of a klutz, which is the entire reason her Metaverse avatar was initially created with blatantly incorrect details.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Tatsumi Kiyosu is a twelve year old boy with purple eyes and dark gray hair with blue highlights. He also has what appears to be a bandage on his right cheek. He wears a black and white track suit, with a white shirt underneath, along with a pair of dark blue and grey sneakers.
When piloting the N700A, His suit looks relatively the same to Ryuji's, with the exception of a vest and some pants that fit over it.

Compared to his older brother, Tatsumi is far more headstrong and impulsive, often overlooking certain details and prone to foolish behavior, usually resulting in him getting scolded by Ryūji. Despite this, he shares his brother's interest in karate and his dedication towards his family, meaning that they usually get along fine despite a few disagreements. He is also far more open and casual to the other drivers, a stark contrast to Ryuji's initially stoic and secluded social image.
While Tatsumi's favorite thing is typically being with his brother (especially as a Shinkalion driver), he is equally fond of eating; most of his time outside of karate and driving the N700A is spent devouring whatever happens to be on his plate. He also eats alarmingly large quantities of food and tends to do so very quickly, which usually gets him stares and comments of surprise from the others.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Akita's main attires consists resene dark crimson t-shirt, a red vest, a long pants and a pair of brown shoes. When driving the Shinkalion E6 Komachi , Akita wears a full red bodysuit with white sections and black arrow, and a set of headphones with glowing red lines.

Akita is a quiet and calm individual who doesn't take fools kindly, a stark contrast to Hayato 's naïve and talkative excitable nature. Although he has a loose interest in the railways due to being a Shinkalion driver, Akita is much more of a gun enthusiast; having been taught how to hunt by his father and grandfather at a young age, Akita excels in riflery and is a high-class competitive laser rifle shooter, receiving top marks in competitions around Japan. This also makes him highly respectful of the outdoors, and he is adept at surviving out in the wild.
Akita is also secretly a sweets enthusiast, able to name several foreign chocolates in addition to keeping a piece of candy with him.
Despite seeming slightly aloof, Akita is still a child, and is not above certain behaviors that Hayato or Tsuranaki are prone to. Due to growing up in an area close to Shinobu 's hometown, the two get along very well despite small conflicts. Akita also speaks with Tōhoku accent almost exclusively when paired with Shinobu, though unlike the latter he can choose not to use it, often speaking regularly when with everyone else.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Hayato's attire consists of a white t-shirt with a dark-blue vertical stripe from the large collar down and dark-blue sleeves, a shade of green short pants, and green sneakers with a white tongue and pink outer soles.
When driving the Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa , Hayato wears a full green bodysuit with white sections and pink stripes, and a set of headphones with glowing green lines.

Hayato is an avid train enthusiast who dreams to become a Shinkansen driver (like his father used to be before joining the Shinkalion Develop Team ), and having inherited his father's fascination for trains at a young age, he quickly grew well-versed in even some of the more obscure facts about railways. If possible, he will rant about it and compare any situation to a railway fact if possible, often to the annoyance and confusion of his friends and family . However, despite this, he doesn't vocally disapprove of or disagree with someone else's dreams. Instead, he accepts them and tries to understand them as best as he can. He is also very responsible when necessary and has a strong moral code, often doing his best to settle differences between friends calmly. These qualities made him invaluable to the SUEI in putting an end to the Kitoralsus conflict, and his uncanny ability to forge bonds between the Kitoralsus agents and other drivers has made him well respected by his friends.
Hayato prides himself on being a man of his word; if possible, he will keep a promise to the best of his abilities and try his hardest living up to the expectations of others. He is also confident in the abilities of his teammates and successors, doing his best to bring out the best of anyone he knows need a helping hand. Additionally, Hayato is very willing to forgive if he can see the good in anybody, but will aggressively mow down anyone who openly dismisses the dreams and goals of others. These traits would eventually rub off onto many of his colleagues, who have ended up sharing a similar level of morality after becoming acquainted with him.
Although he struggled with physical combat skills towards the start of the series, Hayato showed that he was a quick and adaptive learner when he's really dedicated; all it took was two days of training from Ryūji and Tatsumi for him to be much more proficient at combat using the E5. On the other hand, Hayato has two major weaknesses: his own fear of heights as well as lacking in a sense of direction, which could occasionally put himself in a disadvantage during battles. He eventually got over these in time to defeat the enemy. Hayato is also very used to the fact that other people never get his metaphors without explanation, and as such was surprised when Shin was able to understand his Abt-System comparison.
While Hayato in his teenage years retains his enthusiasm for railways and continues to admire them in his usual fashion when allowed, he is far more restrained than he was as a Shinkalion Driver, being much more mellow and mature. He still retains his compassionate and understanding nature, however, and was more than willing to leave the SUEI's future in the hands of the next generation.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Hayato's attire consists of a white t-shirt with the text "I♡大宮" on it, a teal coat with pink trims, a pair of dark blue shorts, and white sneakers with light green sections and pink stripes. He also wears a light green headband with pink and white stripes, with his fringe hair spiking upward from underneath.

Hayato loves his hometown dearly and is an enthusiast in soccer. Influenced by his father who works at the Railroad Museum , Hayato also shows great passion about Shinkansen and trains.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Tsuranuki's attire consists of a yellow t-shirt with orange sleeves, a shade of blue knickerbockers, and white sneakers with a white tongue and blue outer soles.
When driving the Shinkalion E7 Kagayaki, Tsuranuki wears a full blue bodysuit with white and copper sections and black stripes, and a set of headphones with glowing blue lines.

Tsuranuki is loud, brash, and very hot-headed, a stark contrast to his fellow driver Akita . Having grown up in a family in the construction industry, Tsuranuki takes an interested in civil engineering, and much of his dream was to make a bigger and better impact in his hometown once he inherits the family business . While his difference on interests from his teammates did shake their relationship upon his introduction, he and Hayato were soon able to find a subject that covers both of their interests: Railway infrastructure. Although he tries to hide it, Tsuranuki is interested in driving a Shinkalion , though because of the belief that his family would struggle after the death of his father , he staunchly refused to drive full-time in favor of helping out at a construction site his family is working on. However, he later got over this with the help of some words from his mother and Hayato.
Because of his time helping out on construction projects, Tsuranuki has far more stamina than most of the other Shinkalion drivers, outrunning both Akita and Hayato without becoming too exhausted to stand. He is also capable of numerous strength feats, which translate into his combat style when driving the E7. He also has a tendency to shout certain proverbs as motivation, which vary depending on the situation.
Of the original three members of Team Omiya, Tsuranuki is by far the most arrogant, being the most interested in Rei's offer of calling the three his masters. He is also a huge fan of the Super Spice idol unit, and aware of her nature was far from pleased that Azusa would be recording a performance of the group for her channel.
