Christina wears a variety of jewelry, makeup, and keeps her hair in a pinup style. Despite her gaudy presentation, she always has a bit of facial hair, but no one really pays any mind to it. Her nails are manicured and sharp.

Christina is understanding and lenient of what Juzo Inui endures. She is overbearingly affectionate to people she finds cute. Her pinches of the cheeks and lipstick-marked kisses is auntie/grandma material. She obviously can't subject Juzo to the same type of endearment, but it's hinted she has a history of being too affectionate.

Colte has a nice face with an undercut and ear piercings that make him look pleasant to look at from the bust and up. His modifications are not as charming, they appear to be industrial and disproportionate to his body.

He's a kleptomaniac and a liar. However those traits are just lethally mischievous. He doesn't make good decisions and is a little out of touch with reality, presumably because of the amount of times his body gave out on him.


No Guns Life

He's slender and usually adorned in formal, designer-style clothing. There's a snide look to his face, high-arched brows and smirking.

A stickler for obeying the law and enforcing it without forethought or remorse. As much as he bluffs to hate Extends, comparing them to tools and machinery, he contradicts himself by exhibiting the exact traits that disgust him; he follows orders without question.
Yet, he does think for himself. There isn't a program driving him, it's something that he wants for himself. He finds some leniency when Juzo assists him eliminating Gondry, saying he won't arrest Juzo this time.

Five is a Gun Slave Unit with a gun for a head and resembles Juzo Inui

Six years ago, when the war was ending, Theodore received an order to hand over his Gun Slave Unit, Five, as they plan on making him human again. Theodore knew that was a lie and they would dispose him, but still followed orders. On that day, Five said that since his Hands had threw him and no longer needs him, he is no longer a tool, but a free man. Fearing his anger, Theodore fake his death, changes his body and gets new name, Edmund.

Using the route, Five is wondering if they can trust Juzo and that it won't be funny if they go out and find themselves surrounded by soldiers. They reach the surface surprised they made it out with no soldiers in sight. Twelve hopes that Juzo meets a good end, but in that moment he sees Juzo on a clock tower in town and realizes what decision he made. Juzo then fires his gun and obliterates them all.

Huang is a large man with well build body. He has an extend jaw and teeth with chonmage topknot haircut.

At Mary 's place, Huang comes knocking on the door and wants to speak with Juzo. Huang explains that kids are getting attacked in the Kyusei Pit and their extend parts are left hanging everywhere, so they want to hire Juzo to deal with the extend that was doing it. Huang offers to smooth things with Beruhren Corp, but Juzo explains that everyone should deal with their problems. Before leaving Huang tells Juzo that he is right and that they won't be able to protect their territory if they can't deal with this situation and that he don't want to cause trouble in this place, as Mary had helped their guys too.

His arms are heavily tattooed, gears churning menacingly up along his upper arms. His chest is encased in a shell that looks similar to the heavy exhaust pipes of a massive shipping truck.

Hug Bear is a brutal criminal who would kill without hesitation. As he managed to escape, he outsmarted the EMS making them free him from the corset restriction.


No Guns Life

Juzo is a muscular adult of a medium to large build. He generally wears a tight black t-shirt under his gray jacket. He is shown to be 6ft, 6in (1.98m). His most distinctive feature is his gun for a head. His head is a revolver with the trigger and handle hanging in the back, and under it, a metallic jaw with a prominent chin. He lacks lips, instead displaying a row of hexagon-shaped teeth. His right hand also displays a gun-like appearance and can be used as one.

Juzo is a very fair-minded, straight-thinking man who lives by his own belief that one should deal with their own problems without relying on others. One of his most notable quirks is his dislike of humidity, as he's afraid water could make his head rust, though he's admits himself that it's never happened before but still doesn't want to find out.
He also mentions that he hates children, although this may or may not be true depending on the reader's interpretation as he saved Tetsuro from Beruhren. He dismisses this, saying that he just did it because he was a customer and they had a contract to complete. However, Mary mentions that it's not like him to go to such lengths to help a customer even after the contract is done, suggesting that he wants Tetsuro to act as a partner in his job.

Mary is shown to be a young Caucasian woman with a medium height and a lean build.
She has blue eyes and fair skin. Her hair is disheveled and blonde. The top part of her hair is cropped short and the rest is kept in a braid. She's usually sleep-deprived and has some dirt on her cheek from working. She's freckled and has a lower lip piercing.

She is very forward with her reasoning and doesn't overthink things. She is a bit of a flirt. She uses her connections to the mafia to find affordable and good quality parts for her customers.

Before becoming the first full-body Extended, Tokisada was a relatively short man with a stocky, round body with blond hair, not much else is seen of his pre-extension body.
After becoming Extended, his most immediately noticeable feature is his golden face, permanently fixed in a grin with a large screw on the back of his head, akin to a top bun hairstyle. Similarly his hands are covered in the same gold plating, though his left hand has a revolver cylinder akin to Juzo’s. It's shown that his right arm is a minigun and the screw is a grenade.

Tokisada presents himself as a grandiose hero and an icon to the people, eagerly showing off his Funke Faust move to a child despite his assistant's advice. He firmly believes that he is necessary to ensure the wellbeing of the Extended. However, he is also perfectly willing to sacrifice others to his cause, such as when he instigated the Nightmare of Norse Scott to cover up his actions, and when he was willing to kill Olvier, Kronen, Juzo and Gondry to cover up this fact. Honest also mentions that he’s a greedy and prideful man that's grown to think the power given to him is his own.

Oliver is a young-adult woman with tall stature and a slim appearance. She has a warm-skin tone, blue eyes and a voluptuous figure that makes her a knock-out.
She has dark, long hair that ends at the small of her back. Her bangs are cut at a straight edge by her eyebrows. She wears tight clothing and blue lipstick.

Her dynamic with Juzo is very suggestive, especially when she drapes herself over him and taunts him sadistically about their "promise". She is very dedicated to her work as a director and is prideful. She hates when her authority is undermined and when her voice is ignored. She genuinely has the interest of the common public at heart, but the corrupt government is in her way.


No Guns Life

Seven is similar to Juzo Inui in build. He wears Standard pants with large kneepads, and boots. he also wears a red coat, with numerous badges on it, which he regularly wears with the hood up.
Like Juzo his most distinctive feature, is the gun he has for a head. His head is a desert eagle, with the trigger in the back. under it, is his prominent metal chin, with an extra row of teeth in the jaw.
His right hand is a claw, similar to one from a claw machine. And is often carrying around an axe that Pepper uses for combat.

In great contrast to Juzo's reclusive and mature personality, Seven is naïve and child-like in character. His voice is also that of a child, and his dedication to his partner Pepper borders on obsession and obvious infatuation. Because of this, and perhaps because of Pepper's own infatuation of Juzo, Seven has a strong rivalry with Juzo, which often results in frequent brawls and battles. Being a child at heart, Seven is often shown to be weak-willed as an individual, which often results in Seven doing whatever Pepper commands of him. Also like a child, he also has a great liking to sweets and candy, a weakness Pepper likes to use by denying him sweets whenever he failed her.

Shimazu is a tall(2,15 cm) and well-endowed woman with a very muscular physique and huge breasts. Underneath her helmet, she sports black hair cut to the shoulders and has brown eyes. Her usual attire consists of an armor manufactured with the purpose of fighting against extend-humans,

She is quite aggressive and has a great hatred towards the extend-humans, but she's also loyal to her principles and sense of justice. When Tetsuro was attacked she protect him to be beating unnecessarily for a member of Spitzbenger.

Tetsuro is a young-teenage boy with a somewhat average stature for his presumed age and a slender physique. He has hazel eyes and straight-black hair that reach his neck-area with a short fringe on the front of his face,
He is lithe and his limbs have been altered to walk again, but are horribly marred and thin. His original limbs had the muscles and nerve endings lacerated to prevent him from running or sensibility over his limbs. His vocal cords have also been severed. He usually wears bandages at his neck and doesn't have the luxury to have a unique wardrobe.

He loathes the people responsible for hurting him and other children. He doesn't like being weak, he is incredibly persistent and noble at heart. He does make rash decisions that result in worse outcomes, despite his wholesome intent.


No Guns Life

Twelve is a large man and Gun Slave Unit. He has six arms, usually 4 of them concealed. His gunhead is in the form a Gatling gun with a magazine hanging on his left side.

Six years ago, Twelve waits for Juzo Inui in a sewer. As he comes, he wants to speak with him. Twelve informs Juzo that the last of the tree Hands that was helping them, died recently and that four of the GSU had already fallen, while their leader Five can't move half of his body. Without Hands, they can't even patch themselves using the Devil's Backbone. As they could be called "brothers", Twelve invites Juzo to come with them. Juzo tells him he is different than them, and Twelve confirms he heard he has different setting and guess that's why they sent him, but he can still make a decision on how he will live. As Juzo turns his back, Twelve tells him he can't let him go to his comrades and prepares to fight Juzo, however Juzo tells him to go southwest of the town as there is a underground transportation route left by construction and the military doesn't know it.
Using the route, Five is wondering if they can trust Juzo and that it won't be funny if they go out and find themselves surrounded by soldiers. They reach the surface surprised they made it out with no soldiers in sight. Twelve hopes that Juzo meets a good end, but in that moment he sees Juzo on a clock tower in town and realizes what decision he made. Juzo then fires his gun and obliterates them all.


No Guns Life

Shadow Victor has a grim face, having just enough humanoid features and shape, but not enough to prevent it from being unsettling. Even in a world where anyone can have virtually any "face" imaginable, his bared gums and teeth, stapled, leathery skin and the singular eye sets him apart from any modified or naturally occuring face. Most of where flesh would be is bandaged up while the bit is visible is a sickly off shade of green.

Victor, originally, was empathetic to extends, and even cared for their capacity to feel pain. He wanted to give extends something more, since there was nothing left to take from them.  All that ended after he remotely piloted an extend, witnessing and feeling everything first hand. A shadow of himself was created and it believed that extends were a mistake and loathed everything of their kind while preserving Victor's scientific fascination in its own demented way.


No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!

Okada has long light-brown colored hair in the anime and long blond colored hair in the manga colored panels that reaches her shoulders. She ties a part of her hair high on her head with a pink band that makes her hairstyle resemble a pineapple. Her eyes appear brown in the anime but violet in the color panels released in the manga . She wears the female student's standard uniform. The TomoMote 10th Anniversary reveals that she wore her dyed hair up in the "pineapple" with twin tails in middle school.

As depicted in both the manga and anime , Okada seems generally pleasant. The manga reveals that she is a close friend to Hina, and she feels hurt when she believes Hina will not confide in her. She can prove outspoken and righteous: she intervenes when she believes Yoshida is bullying Tomoko, becomes upset when she thinks Hina is entering a dangerous industry, and is looked to step in when Kotomi picks a fight with Yoshida. She similarly feels embarrassed and sad when she feels she has hurt someone and will carry this guilt until she has the opportunity to apologize. She apologizes directly to Yuri for misunderstanding the bullying incident and treats Tomoko and Hina to lunch to apologize for her behavior during the class trip to the amusement park.
She enjoys sports, having played basketball in middle school, takes PE seriously, and makes sports references.


Asuka stands as tall as Fūka Sasaki and Masaki Yoshida , and Chapter 175-2 reveals that they are the tallest of the WataGirls . Asuka has long dyed-hair she wears down with cut front bangs. The cover of Volume 14 depicts it as lighter and pinkish and not honey-colored as Akane or Emiri Uchi 's dyed hair. She tells Tomoko in Chapter 170 that she has been dying her hair since middle school. Chapter 140 and TomoMote 10th Anniversary depict her as a middle school student with the same colorless hair in the black-and-white manga . Her eyes are blue on the cover. Her mother also has long hair without color in the manga .

Whenever Asuka makes an appearance in the manga she is usually shown to be quite friendly, kind, and popular. She appears to quietly notice the people around her and pay attention to them. Her sincere care for others, even students she does not know like Tomoko, leads Tomoko to consider her the "Class Mom," even "more of a mom than a real mom." When she catches Tomoko staring at her from her seat behind her and Tomoko stammers an explanation, she takes the opportunity to apply make-up to Tomoko's eyes. She includes the shy Tomoko in a social activity even though Tomoko does not really know her. She refuses to engage in the personal conflicts of her peers. When Koharu Minami tries to bait her and Okada into joining in her denigration of Tomoko and Hina, Asuka quietly inspects her nails. However, when Okada takes down Minami, Asuka suggests that she went too far then reminds Okada that she has been talking about Hina continuously even though she does not realize it. She also tries to call Minami on her phone after Minami storms off to invite her back.
Asuka appears happy to meet anyone and shows legitimate concern for them. She readily approaches Yoshida and breaks up her fight with Okada. When she joins their group, Asuka takes the time to meet and talk with each of the members including Yuri Tamura .
As with all characters it seems in the series, Asuka may have her weaknesses and issues. She becomes quiet when Minami ridicules the make-up she applied on Tomoko in Chapter 135 . She quietly notices Tomoko's reactions when she takes Tomoko to a college she wishes to attend in Chapter 140 . She understands that Tomoko constantly defers to her but misinterprets her anxiety as Tomoko not wishing to be her friend.
As with many characters in the series, Katō may appear a stereotype at first, and Tomoko may have dismissed her as such, but over time the story reveals glimpses at a much deeper character. Unlike Tomoko and many of her friends, Katō appears to have a more mature view of sexuality given her reaction to Tomoko's list of "perversions." She becomes concerned when she learns that Hina slapped Tomoko but then appears neither alarmed nor offended when she learns that Hina was upset that Tomoko had peeked at her Mount Pleasant .
Tomoko consciously over-interprets Katō's comments to find salacious meaning. In one example she wonders if Katõ knows how suggestive she is. She also notices that Katō is rather familiar with the English terms for the Naughty Bits . When Tomoko uses a more generic term for hair Katō seems to embarrassingly assume she refers to the foliage upon said Mount Pleasant. However, she later appears to intentionally tease Fūka by mentioning the "hair" comment then leaving before she can explain. She does achieve a perfect score on her "Health and Fitness" exam which includes sexual health.
Asuka appears quite feminine, as she shows interest for makeup in Chapter 106 and states that she loves nail polish and shopping in Chapter 122 .


A Woman of a Thousand Faces! Emiri begins her story with a face drawn predominately like an emoticon with dots for eyes and a smile. In released color panels, her eyes are drawn as black dots save for now released pictures included below and in the Gallery which all suggest she has light-brown eyes. She does have other expressions, and in more recent chapters she even appears nearly "normal" like other characters. For ease of description, WataMote Wiki offers these categories which are not used in the manga other than " Emoji ."

From her initial appearance , Uchi seems only interested in her small and consistent circle of friends who miss her when she is separated from them. Nagi , her friend with glasses, claims their group is "boring" without her. To some like Yoshida and Yuri, she appears very shy to stand-offish. She shows no interest in talking to Tomoko when they sit together on a bus. She shows similar disinterest in her assigned field trip group and instead spends most of her time chatting with her friends . Due to some comic misunderstandings and Uchi's own behavior towards Yoshida, she vows to have as little interaction with them as possible.

Uchi near completely loses her "Emoji-Face" talking about Tomoko.
Uchi's personality gradually reveals itself as her interest in Tomoko develops. Due to a few more comic misunderstandings and Tomoko's attempts to seem mature and experienced, Uchi believes Tomoko is a "pervert" who is sexually attracted to her. However on her ride home from the trip, she keeps thinking about Tomoko looking at her. Seemingly contradictory behavior develops: while following and watching Tomoko she consistently angrily deems her imagined behavior as "disgusting (キモい・kimo i )!" She starts to try to be close to Tomoko which includes her wanting Tomoko to be pressed up against her on a train. Despite inwardly declaring Tomoko a lesbian and "disgusting," she takes pride in her imagined interest from Tomoko. When she sees Mako looking in Tomoko's direction , a sweating and smiling Uchi talks to Mako freely about her conviction that Tomoko is sexually attracted to her, to Mako's confusion, only to flee when Tomoko looks in her direction loudly declaring that she is Tomoko's "fetish fuel." Later, she corrects Hina Nemoto 's impersonation of Tomoko in front of Akane Okada , Suzuki , and Yoshinori Kiyota . She becomes angered whenever she observes Tomoko interact with other girls and invariably leaps to the conclusion that Tomoko is either hitting on the other girl or they are both lesbians. Over time, Uchi's apparent disgust with her belief that Tomoko is attracted to girls mixes with her own progressively apparent desire to be with Tomoko. Her friends do notice and remark that she spends a lot of time talking about "that girl." Whether this is just jealousy, curiosity, or actual feelings remains undefined until Chapter 131 when she confesses, without naming her, that she believes Tomoko and her hearts are "one."
While she may appear quiet and shy to Tomoko, Yoshida, and others, she will throw sudden public temper-tantrums when her plans to be near Tomoko are thwarted. When Mako does not respond to Uchi's sob-story , Uchi becomes very agitated until Mako invites her into her group. Later in the same chapter, Uchi throws another tantrum to try to again ride the roller coaster next to Tomoko. These may seem like acts to get what she wants, but she earlier throws a full rolling-on-the-ground tantrum in reaction to not being assigned to Tomoko's class when it cannot change the assignment.
As with many characters, Uchi's own true feelings remain unrevealed and probably developing. Like Tomoko, she has curiosity about sexuality: in Chapter 77 when she finds the other members of her assigned group all asleep in the room during dinner time she figures she should at least wake them. When she attempts to wake the difficult to arose Yoshida for dinner, she pauses and then possibly takes the opportunity to touch her as Tomoko did. The sleeping Yoshida dreams it is Tomoko "pinching" her "nipples": "乳首つまんで. . ." again. Unlike Tomoko, her own fantasies currently remain undepicted, though that remains the case for most characters in the series other than Kotomi Komiyama , Akari Iguchi , and Yū Naruse . Even her conversations with her friends, who do gossip about the relationship one of them has, remain undepicted. Thus, exactly "what" sort of relationship she wants or fantasizes about with Tomoko at any stage, and the answers to the multiple questions concerning her own orientation, remain unknown.
However, a brief scene in Chapter 163 makes clear what Uchi means by her catchphrase キモい. Her friend Kayo asks her in the hallway if the passing Tomoki makes her "heart pound." Uchi stares at him, to his consternation, but then flatly tells Kayo that there is no キモい in him nor is there potential for him to develop it. While she may not have intended to do so, this is her first admission that Tomoko has qualities – キモい – that make her "heart pound."

Uchi verbally mistreats Shizuku.
Regarding her relationship with other characters who are not Tomoko or her group of friends, she can appear very superficial if not dismissive and aloof. Nevertheless, Chapter 130.5 ends with the suggestion that Uchi may have at least come to tolerate Yoshida and Yuri, since she is the mostly likely of them to think: "They were all a bunch of disgusting creeps, but still I - had a lot of fun!"  While inwardly she may find many "disgusting," she generally does not vocalize this or attack others. However, later in the afternoon of the day she learns Tomoko did not give her the key chain as a symbol that they shared an emotional and romantic bond, Emiri spies Shizuku Hirasawa sitting with Tomoko. When Shizuku subsequently bumps into her, Emiri directly insults her.
In response to Koharu Minami , insulting Tomoko , she curtly demands that she never bring her "filthy face" into her classroom again.


Fūka has very long black hair which she puts into a long pony tail. She stands as tall as Asuka which, as Chapter 175-2 demonstrates, makes them the tallest of the WataGirls . The color cover of Volume 17 suggests her eyes are light blue to grey.

For much of the series little is known about Fūka. Prior to her friends, then Katō, congratulating her in Chapter 154, she does not speak and her expression seems disinterested, hence her WataMote Wiki Nickname™. With her friends she is cheerful, and when she joins Asuka and Tomoko's study group, she politely introduces herself to Tomoko. She becomes obsessed with the possibility that Tomoko asked Asuka if she could touch her hair "down there" to the point it affects her studies and relationships. Currently, the exact reason for this obsession, from simple curiosity all the way to jealousy, is unrevealed. Nevertheless, perhaps due to Tomoko's influence, Fūka becomes openly interested in sexual matters.


Hatsushiba is the only current high school student to be on the chubbier side. Aside from this, he has other distinguishing features such as his big nose, small eyes, and fuller face.

Hatsushiba is a very apathetic individual. The times he has interacted with Tomoko, he has shown indifference and impatience toward her. This indifference is also shown toward Kotomi and even his art teacher. Additionally, this attitude seeps into other areas of his life, such as his art class and club activities. The only reason he shows up to do his after school portrait is to not get a bad mark. He does the bare minimum by drawing the easiest face he can and only looks at Tomoko to match the hair and a few other details. In his manga club, he again does only the bare minimum by drawing the easiest face he can when his club mate asks him to draw the background characters. Much later, he admits he lacked the confidence in his drawing skills.


Itō has black hair with her front bangs gathered with crossing bands. Itō is always seen with short pigtails that fall down to her shoulders. By comparison in Chapter 134 , she stands at the level of Tomoki 's shoulders while Tomoko's head reaches his face. This would make her shorter than Tomoko.

Itō appears a nice person and supportive of her friend, Kotomi. Besides this not much is known about Itō but whenever she is shown Itō seems to be mostly normal and level-headed; however, when Kotomi confronts Yoshida she appears to think she has some psychic powers that will calm down Kotomi. Her first name is not revealed until Chapter 143


In the anime Hina is shorter than Okada has a slender frame, shoulder-length long brown hair tied into twintails, and blue-green eyes, while in most of the manga she is much taller and her hair has no color. In a flash back to her high school exam in Chapter 110 , where Tomoko introduces herself to her, she has black hair which reveals that she dyes her hair. The cover for Volume 11 depicts her hair as a light reddish-brown, while a color depiction in Chapter 132 of a scene from a previous chapter and official artwork produced in anticipation of the release of Volume 15 shows her hair has a lighter almost pink color. She wears the girls' uniform only with a pink sweater vest.

Outwardly sociable, friendly and cheerful, she is usually seen talking and laughing with Okada, Kiyota, and Suzuki in class and hanging out with them after school. She inwardly worries how others see her and whether or not they feel they are better than her. She will subtly denigrate others and becomes upset if she feels they have exceeded her. This explains her desire to have Tomoko as a friend on the one hand while periodically digging at her to imagining that Tomoko is in competition with her on the other. She befriends Tomoko at the start of the second year, mainly due to Tomoko's love of anime . Hina seems very friendly to Tomoko, allowing Tomoko to use her chapstick once, though she also seems very competitive. She largely hides her anime interest from Okada and her other friends. When Tomoko discovers that Hina wishes to become a voice actress, Hina rather curtly orders her not to reveal that and not to discuss anime with her when her other friends are around. In Chapter 122 Hina decides to confess her aspirations, and in Chapter 144 she reveals that she took voice lessons during the Golden Week break.


He is the prototypical male hero: thin, handsome, and with long brown hair.

While a minor character in both the manga and anime , he patiently greets his many fans and happily records whatever they want. The anime episode expands a bit on how fan girls in the long line in front of Tomoko Kuroki start asking for increasingly risqué dialogue. When Tomoko blurts out her long request, he politely agrees to speak it without any judgment.


Kakinuma has a bowl hairstyle and wears rectangular framed glasses.

Kakinuma is shown to be somewhat awkward and nerdy, never really standing out much.


Kayo is most notable for being drawn with wide and colorless pupils. She has long black hair with bangs. She has yet to appear in a color panel. As the Gallery demonstrates, she stands slightly shorter than Uchi's but taller than Tomoko.

Kayo does not reveal much of a separate personality until she confronts Uchi regarding her behavior towards her and their friends in Chapter 152. She proves direct and honest, but later apologizes to Uchi for not understanding that Uchi has had personal matters which have affected her. Her directness carries over to Tomoko when she immediately realizes Tomoko's "game" to insult Uchi in order to have Uchi's friends reconcile with Uchi against her, and while she confronts Tomoko, she supports her becoming a friend to Uchi. She later lectures Uchi about apologizing to Tomoko. This all suggess that Kayo can be frank, but caring, and insightful. While she seems initially  reticent to accept that Uchi has a crush on a girl, she urges the both of them to apologize to one another.


Minami has shoulder-length hair that curls at the ends. The cover for Volume 20 depicts her hair as dyed honey blond similar to Yū's. She wears two triangular hair clips on either side of her head, though she sometimes includes other ornaments. Her eyes are angled like Yoshida 's but Minami's irides are larger, giving her a softer and friendlier appearance. Volume 20's cover suggests that they are grey. In contrast to her softer appearance, she is drawn with a fang. In the manga she sometimes stands at the same height as Mako and Yuri which would make her slightly taller than Tomoko, but most of the time she is shown to be much shorter than them and being around Tomoko's height. WataMote generally eschews depicting the WataGirls in the stereotypical manga female fashion with hips and breasts that violate international conventions; however, despite the variety most of them tend to "run thin." Koharu appears normal, and WataMote Wiki "wouldn't go so far as to call the sister 'fat,'" yet the adjective "cherubic," but not "rubenesque," appears to apply. Nevertheless, Sachi will claim she is fat, needs to diet, et cetera when she wants to insult her.

From what little the readers had seen of Minami prior to the trip to the amusement park, she appears to be very popular, sociable, but rather intentionally rude. She has no qualms against openly laughing at and mocking other students in order to appear cool in comparison. She knows why she does this as she inwardly admits in Chapter 128 when she tries to badmouth Tomoko to Katō and Okada and they ignore it. She inwardly panics, noting that the two are not "taking the bait," and she then tries to gain favor with Okada by then attacking Hina Nemoto . Okada frankly exposes this tactic then wonders why Minami is even with them since she was not invited. While Minami storms off denouncing the two, she is soon after seen by Mako walking away crying. Rather than confront her fault, Minami storms off and then rebuffs offers to join another group since she feels the group pities her for being alone. She ignores messages from Katō trying to smooth things. With Mako, rather than alter her behavior, she starts denigrating Hatsushiba to Mako and expresses surprise when Mako defends him.
Minami's behavior appears a defense mechanism, and for her to return to Katō would require her to accept Okada's criticism which she cannot do at this stage. This serves in more recent chapters to isolate Minami. In Chapter 132 she feels she cannot approach a group of Hina, Okada, and Katō. There is a bit of irony in that Katō previously tried to bring Minami back to her and Okada after Minami stormed off in the face of Okada's accurate criticism of her. Katō probably would have invited Minami to join without her further "losing face." Minami really does not understand others beyond her superficial stereotypes of them. She then sees Mako with Yuri and Tomoko, but fears she will not be accepted. As she stares at them, she fears she will have to become friends with "losers." Currently then, Minami cannot learn from Okada's criticisms, nor does she wonder why the "loner" and "weirdo" Tomoko actually has a few friends.
Unlike other characters, until recent chapters from her perspective, Minami has shown no evidence of character growth. In Chapter 134 she gleefully watches Kotomi confront Yoshida. She inwardly admits that she neither knows the reason for their conflict, nor cares to, she simply enjoys watching others fight and hopes they will fight "forever." In Chapter 156 she overhears Emiri Uchi describe Tomoko with her signature phrase キモい (disgusting/gross) seizes the opportunity to join in denigrating Tomoko. After she shares a picture she saved on her phone of Tomoko in the make-up Katō applied with Uchi, Uchi curtly tells her to never bring her "filthy face" in to her classroom again.
Her separation from her trio of friends due to class assignment in her third year leaves Minami frequently alone during lunch. Desperate to avoid being seen as a "loner," Minami tries to eat lunch wth her friends in their class to their ridicule of her behind her back. in the first of chapters from her perspective, she tries to have lunch with Mike and her patient boyfriend to her severe gastric distress. She tries to do the same with Shiki Futaki but finds her behavior odd. Nevertheless, she is curious, particularly when she sees that Shiki has a group of boys who play arcade games with her. She recognizes the boys as " otaku " that she has denigrated in the past. Unfazed by this, Shiki tells her that gamers are use to insulting one another. Her trio of friends who planned to film her desperately looking for them in their classroom search for her when she does not show. They happen to see her with Shiki and the boys. The normally faceless Sachi stares at Minami and icily informs her that she does not mind if she stays with "those creeps."
Minami rejoins them, but during their meeting at a coffee shop she inwardly finds some of their denigration of Fūka Sasaki, who sits at another table, trite. She, herself, cannot find anything bad to say about her, and she inwardly admits she is not in the mood to bad mouth anyone. Sachi prods her by suggesting that Shiki has her own "harem" that Minami intruded into. Minami accidentally asks Maki about her boyfriend using the derogatory nickname the rest have for him. Maki becomes upset, Nori attacks Minami, but Sachi reminds Nori that she was the one who used the nickname. Maki leaves them telling them to never speak to her again. Nori also leaves, but she informs Minami that she is correct if she suspects that Sachi bad mouths her behind her back. Sachi then reveals to Minami that she hates Maki, hates Nori slightly less, and planned to dump all of them once the school festival is over. However, she figures she can now use the time to prepare for her exams.
Minami sits alone, until Yū approaches her, having witnessed the conflict, and asks if she is okay. Minami inwardly marvels that a girl, who does not know her, who is not from her school, would come to see if she is all right. She suspects that she is really just a "good girl," "unlike me." Thus far, their interaction, and any future relationship, remains unrevealed; however, Koharu will subsequently appear a bit more open to others.
Chapter 210 reveals her innocence. Roped into helping Shiki film Akane's video for the Cultural Festival, Sachi jokes that Shiki's Otaku Posse™ will シコる (shiko ru ) [1] to the video they have taken of girls. When thanked by Akane, Koharu asks what シコる means to the laughter of Reina and even Shiki.


Kosaka has a thin build, gray eyes, pale skin, and short black hair.


Kotomi has shoulder-length black hair. Her main accessory are her glasses. Her dress varies from her middle and high school uniforms to more contemporary clothes outside of school. In high school, she mainly wears a sweater-vest over her shirt and tie with skirt. She dresses in her favorite team's gear when attending baseball games.

Kotomi is a shy girl but does not have the same difficulty with social interactions that Tomoko has. If given the chance, she will willingly pontificate upon baseball and her favorite team to anyone. Much of her character is depicted reacting to Tomoko, making her appear resentful, judgmental, and jealous. However, she appears a much nicer person to other people. Despite her sometimes petty-level rivalry with Tomoko, she does not truly hate her. She can also become friends with her potential rival for Tomoki such as Akari.
In more recent chapters, Kotomi has grown less tolerant of any imagined rival for Tomoki. She very publicly accuses Yoshida of being a "slut" in the cafeteria when she sees her with her arm around Tomoki. When she meets Kii , she immediately panics that since a cousins can legally marry, Kii will become a rival. When she overhears Shizuku Hirasawa ask Tomoko which soccer player is her brother during a match , she directly insults her.
When Tomoki asks Itō about Kotomi, Itō responds with a long rambling description to the irritation of Tomoki. Aside from Kotomi's devotion to the Chibi Lotte Marines, Itō reveals that while Kotomi is sociable, she tends to keep her distance from others, and she always uses the last name with the -san suffix.
Chapter 150 provides considerable insight into Kotomi’s social difficulties. Like Tomoko’s, they are largely self-made. At a softball game during the sports tournament, Kotomi takes charge and proceeds to alienate everyone on both sides by treating the friendly and casual event with deadly seriousness. She bosses the other players and uses frustrating moves like squeeze plays . Itō describes the situation: “Koto’s going all out, despite knowing it will earn her enmity from allies and opponents alike. You’re amazing, Koto!”


Mako is always shown to have short hair, without color in the manga but depicted as light brown in a color panel. She had that color as a middle schooler. Mako is one of the few characters to have noticeable freckles. Her eye color remains unsettled: they appear blue in the color panel of Chapter 132 and light brown in the cover of WataMote Volume 13 .

Mako is shown to be quite caring, as she felt bad for leaving Tomoko alone to eat by herself at school one day. She also feels concern for Minami despite the former's tendency to denigrate others. She initially does not seem to be that assertive and never really stands out much. However, she is not clueless. She recognizes Minami's mean behavior. When she sees Yuri behave in a similar fashion to Tomoko in front of Yū Naruse , she takes Yuri aside and politely remonstrates her. Thus far, she has not similarly corrected Minami.


Based on her appearance in the anime and in color covers of volumes, Megumi has black hair worn long but gathered in the back with dark gray-green eyes. She stands a few inches taller than Tomoko.

Megumi Imae is very warm and kind to everyone including Tomoko. She is one of the few who takes notice of Tomoko and even cheers her on from a distance. During the culture festival, Megumi borrows a mascot costume for the sole purpose of hugging Tomoko in an effort to cheer her up. She is quite popular; when she graduates high school many students wish her goodbye.


In the manga , she appears to have short dyed-blond hair. The official artwork for Volume 16 suggests that she dyes her hair a light brown, but the cover for Volume 17 depicts her with blond hair. Current color depictions do not reveal her eye color. A view of her standing with other WataGirls in Chapter 175-2 depicts her as standing slightly less tall as her friend Fūka and as tall as Yū. WataMote Wiki adds for purely the sake of completeness that she happily tells Tomoko she removes her hair "down there."

Miho appears a very happy and bubbly character who enjoys playfully teasing others. Indeed, WataMote Wiki confesses difficulty avoiding the adverb "happily" in describing every action she performs. She is not shocked by Tomoko's inadvertent blurting out that she wants to fondle boobs during the study session. She will tease Tomoko about sneaking peaks at panties as well as teasing Fūka about her behavior. She appears to enjoy attention. She happily cheers and shows her armpits when boys in the baseball stadium shout at her . During the Summer Study Camp, she happily readily includes Tomoko's friend Yū Naruse in discussions. She even happy cheerfully nicknames Masaki Yoshida "yankī -chan " [1] and Emiri Uchi "E cchan ." [2]


Miyazaki has long hair worn in a ponytail with front bangs. Like many female characters depicted in the black-and-white manga , her hair has no color which suggests it may be dyed blond like Yū Naruse 's or brown like Okada's. Special Edition reveals that her natural color is dark. She is slightly taller than Uchi.

From her limited appearances, Miyazaki seems a pleasant person. She does not know Tomoko other than as the girl Uchi talks about.


( Strikethrough episodes or chapters indicate the character was mentioned but did not make a physical appearance)

He enjoys fishing, and often would bring Tomoko along with him when she was a child. Tomoki would tag along with Tomoko until around sixth grade.
He appears very kindhearted towards his family, as when in a now famous scene in the anime he goes to invite Tomoko for some cake only to find her asleep on her floor with a vibrator and her television paused on a scene from a "boy-love" game. Without saying anything, he gently carries her to bed and shuts off the TV and vibrator. In a later chapter, when she joins him for fishing during her Spring Break, he asks her about her school and notes that her mother has remarked that she does not complain about it anymore. He seems surprised that Tomoko would want to join him in what he suspects is a boring activity for a young teen.
As noted, WataMote tends to imply character details and not present them all at once.


Mrs. Kuroki is a young woman with short black hair and green eyes. She is usually seen wearing regular clothes, such as a shirt and pants. In Tomoko's recollection, her mother use to have long hair.

Due to WataMote largely occurring from Tomoko's perspective, it is perhaps unfair that she often appears as the disciplinarian or someone who has to reign in Tomoko. Mrs. Kuroki actually appears a very pleasant and loving mother to her children. Mrs. Kuroki always encounters Tomoko cheerfully; she is not depicted cynically greeting Tomoko at breakfast or sniping at her. It is Tomoko who does something, or fails to do something, that earns the disappointement or wrath of her mother.
Similarly, WataMote tends to imply things and reveal details about characters in pieces over many chapters. Thus, when a conversation between Tomoko and her father finally occurs in Chapter 121 , her father mentions that her mother has noticed that she has complained less about going to school. Mrs. Kuroki does notice such things, even if they are not depicted directly.


While her glasses are her most readily recognizable attribute and lead to her nicknames, she also has long hair gathered into a ponytail. Since she has thus far not been depicted in color, her dark gray-colored hair in the manga could be natural brown or dyed. She stands slightly taller than Tomoko.

Nagi appears a pleasant girl. When she discovers the crush Uchi has on Tomoko, she separately urges both to become friends. When rooming with the quiet and taciturn Yuri , she invites her to go the hot spring rather than use the bath in their room.


Ogino has short brown hair. She is often seen wearing the outfit for gym teachers, consisting of a high collar jacket and pants. Sometimes she is seen wearing gym shirt and pants, and a whistle for use during gym classes.

A very kind and hardworking teacher who tries to help Tomoko befriend other people. Though strict, she tries to support her students. She gives a good plan for Hina Nemoto to pursue her dream of becoming a voice actress. However, her eagerness often backfires. Her excitement to announce that a student wishes to become a voice actress embarrasses Hina. Her efforts to make Tomoko more sociable often humiliate Tomoko further.
Nevertheless, she is not a "fool" character who constantly screws up and ruins things. When she meets with Tomoko and Mrs. Kuroki , she supports Tomoko. Some of her plans, such as making Tomoko act as the group leader for a field trip, in the long run help Tomoko form friendships with a number of classmates. As with most characters in the series, she has her flaws, but she is not only those flaws. Ultimately, she sincerely cares about her students as individuals.


Sayaka initially has loose, black shoulder-length hair. By her second year in high school, her hair extends below her shoulders.

Sayaka seems very bold and uninhibited, and she initially may appear more mature about matters that teenagers tend to obsess over. Thus in Chapter 95 when Tomoko torments her friend Akari over her belief that Akari asked to see Tomoki's genitals, Sayaka frankly responds, "Even girls are interested in those kinds of things, it's not weird at all!" However, Chapter 169 reveals that she lacks practical experience when she tries to measure Tomoki's interest in girls based on whether or not his pants reveals evidence of an erection.


Her emoticon face consists of two large "dots" for eyes, and aside from the first panel she appears in where her mouth is a small "dash," her mouth usually appears as a triangle: ▵. This is very similar to the character Danbō from the manga series Yotstuba to , a comparison Tomoko makes herself in Chapter 176 . Her mouth finally changes in Chapter 154 to a ω when she eats focaccia.

While Futaki initially does not appear to have much of a personality, she does seem to have male friends, and she does not shun social interaction: when invited by Yoshida 's friend Anna join them when she is sitting alone, she does and even plays games with them and Tomoko. She reveals embarrassment when discussing with Yoshida's other friend Reina how she lost badly in majong as Reina playfully teases her. After easily beating opponents at table tennis, in the background she demonstrates her technique to Tomoko and Katō . After the end of the intramurals in Chapter 154 , she confesses to Tomoko, Yuri, Hina, and Katō that since that was the first and probably last time they would play together, she wished they had won the championship.
WataMote Wiki understands the dangers of applying psychiatric diagnoses to fictional characters; however, she appears to have a flat affect, and her appearance as described below suggests that this is intentional: Shiki rarely shows emotion. The few times, such as when she enjoys her bread, are depicted as extraordinary. Minami inwardly both admires and despises her ability to show no reaction to insults or to the " otaku " boys who clearly gather around her when she plays the dancing game in the hopes of glimpsing her panties! Her reactions to others do appear "flat" and sometimes inappropriate, such as her suddenly and wordlessly leaving her lunch with Minami to go work out.
However, there are glimpses that she has awareness of feelings. Tomoko notes that she has over time allowed her gaming videos to focus on her superior posterior stylishness to attract more viewers. This includes views of her entirely normal smiling lower face. In her thus far brief relationship with Minami, she shows she picks up on signals even if she does not appear to react to them: she appears bothered by Sachi's "creep" insult; she recognizes that Minami has fought with her trio of friends; she sees Sachi alone and suggests that Minami go and talk to her; she is bothered by Minami's absence at her lunch-time workouts and expresses this awkwardly to her; and she apologizes to Minami for interfering.
When she interacts directly with Sachi again, she perhaps betrays a slight amount of irritation. When Sachi decides to invite her to join her and Koharu as they try to use the ride her class is building, Shiki flatly asks if it is okay since she is a "creep." When Sachi then recommend that they both man the pole to make the ride work, Shiki calmly insists that she, herself, can push it so both Sachi and Koharu can ride. She does this and perhaps monomaniacally accelerates her pushing until the ride actually breaks. She previously dismissed the insult to Koharu by explaining that one hears a lot worse when gaming and one gains revenge by destroying the opponent. She certainly does not insult Sachi, but she tends to remain silent even when gaming. If she badmouths her opponents, it has not been depicted. Nevertheless, while one could interpret Shiki's actions as a way of needling and then defeating Sachi, that remains speculation at this point.
As with all WataGirls ™, she is a "work in progress": stay tuned!


Shizuku has long black hair with a pair of barrettes on each side. She sits and stands about one or two inches taller than Tomoko. She is frequently shown applying makeup, especially when waiting to meet Tomoko.

Shizuku appears a nervous girl who falls sick due to stress during Tomoko's high school entrance exam. She promised to attend the same school as her boyfriend. However, when he fails, she cheerfully concludes they can attend different schools. Tomoko deems this behavior that of a "scum." When Tomoko next sees her in school, Shizuku happily calls Tomoko her " sempai (先輩)," and wishes to be Tomoko's "kōhai (後輩)." During her conversation and her meeting Tomoko's other friends, she reveals to the reader that once she started talking to boys in middle school, other girls began to hate her. In high school, she can only talk to boys and feels the other girls hate her.
For much of the series, she is a dutiful and dotting " kōhai " character seeking approval of her " sempai ." For her part , Tomoko recognizes how their relationship appears a stereotype of manga and anime relationships, and Shizuku appears to want that. In a recent chapter , Shizuku even scolds Tomoko as a  " kōhai " character attempting to help her " sempai " achieve her goal.


He has long brown hair depicted without color in the manga . This anime depiction appears to look more like Wada ; however, he is identified as "Suzuki (鈴木)" in the seating chart.

As a background character, he seems pleasant. During the trip to For Trademark Purposes Totally Not Disney World, he expresses irritation over the argument between Hina and Akane .


Tomoki has messy black hair and dark bags under his eyes like his sister. However, unlike Tomoko, he is considered attractive by his female classmates and by Kotomi as well. For much of the series, Tomoki has typical expressions. Early on, when upset with his sister, he takes the sort of Generic Early WataMote Expression™ where eyes are overshadowed and he grits his teeth, as did Emiri before her characteristic emoji expressions became established. In the Cultural Festival Arc, Tomoki has acquired a few more as shown in the Gallery . For ease, WataMote Wiki has created these designations:

Tomoki is very reserved and distant, even with his family and friends. Despite this, he appears popular in his class and admired by several girls.


Tomoko has fairly pale skin, large jade green eyes with visible purple dark shadows underneath them, and long unkempt black hair that she usually wears down on her shoulders, often covering her right eye. Tomoko has a fairly small, circular face compared to the rest of her peers, and her figure is very delicate and petite. When she fantasizes about what she can become, she generally imagines herself to be a tall, curvaceous woman in contrast to her real frame.

Tomoko has a grim outlook on life - so much that during a daydream she imagines herself on a motorcycle, only to crash and end up in the hospital. She utters a "censored" with a tone reference to the anime Gantz , hoping her world will be destroyed and replaced. As the initial series progresses, Tomoko tries to become popular by coming up with ideas on how to get attention. She usually either fails or receives negative attention. She often lacks a "filter" in that she will say what she thinks without considering the consequences. For example, realizing she has never seen male genitalia, she matter-of-factly asks her brother Tomoki to show his to her without any conception of how bizarre her request is. Similarly, when she feels that she has offended Nemoto during an argument about flashing panties in which she mentions that Nemoto's rode so far up she exposed "everything," she decides that she needs to compliment Nemoto's Mount Pleasant which earns a slap from the enraged Nemoto. Tomoko will refer to this periodically when Nemoto irritates her.
Much of the story takes place "in her head" through her continuous thinking and ranting to herself on almost everyone and everything. Her awkward behavior seems odd to even perverted to others. She can be disrespectful and selfish at times, like when she tried to make Tomoki do housework when he was doing entrance exams when the year previously she ducked doing housework with the excuse she had entrance exams. She overreacts to small things, such as seeing her classmates at "WcDonalds" and trying to avoid them by disguising herself. Her imagination tends to fuel her overreactions.
Tomoko's perverted nature.

Credits frame from episode 5 of the anime

She can also appear rather perverted to others. Tomoko is a young teen curious but awkward and embarrassed by having no experience other than what she gains from playing games and surfing the internet. Aside from comic misunderstanding situations in the manga and anime where her parents walk in on her, Tomoko will also blurt out what she is thinking especially if she thinks it will make her appear cool and mature, usually with little grasp on the consequences. Early in the series, listening to other girls happily talk about bikinis, she imagines they are all "secreting pheromones" and are sluts. In the anime , she quickly thinks the female manager of the baseball team spends her time tending to the boys' "bats." Bored by being forced to watch a baseball game in the manga , she muses that baseball would be better if the line-up depended on relative penis length or if the batters had to use a bat with a length that compared to their own! She tries to impress her younger cousin with her experiences with a non-existent boyfriend with hilarious results. In school, feeling embarrassed that she may be the only girl her age who has not seen a boy's unmentionables, she enters an image search for "penis" on her phone only to drop it, have it scatter across the floor for her teacher to find and see, and to then gain the reputation as the "girl who looks at penes." Later in the manga , when she has progressed to having lunch daily with two other girls, she reads a young woman's magazine which has a seasonal "Sex Special" searching for something interesting to say. Even though she knows she cannot just blurt out "things you can understand about someone based on their penis" in a conversation, she does so anyways.

Tomoko acts strange around Yū.

Her actual experience is limited mainly to fantasies from playing games, making up scenarios, and listening to her special yandere audios. In one incident early in the anime and manga , she sees into the window of a Love Hotel where she can watch two people making love. She is shocked by the detail she has not seen before in her games. When she becomes reacquainted with Yū, who in middle school wore glasses and seemed nerdy to Tomoko, she is shocked to find Yū has lightened her hair, discarded her glasses for contacts, has developed more than she, and has had a boyfriend. When Yū hugs her, Tomoko is embarrassed that Yū's breasts touch her then misunderstands what is happening and thinks she should grab Yū's bottom. This does not happen, but Tomoko remains fascinated.
It appears that Tomoko acts out of ignorance for most of the series. In both the manga and anime Tomoko has a fascination with the panties other girls wear. Part of this may be due to what she considers her own pathetic underwear which leads to a famous sequence where she tries to buy panties. While played for comedy, there are some serious overtones. She seems completely oblivious to the offense she causes. She seems to enjoy teasing Yoshida on her panties even though she knows it will provoke Yoshida to hit her. She calmly watches Emiri Uchi practice cheerleading to see if she wears longer "spats," which Uchi notices to her horror. As recently as Chapter 146 , she happily peeks at Yuri and Mako's panties. However, when she agrees to wear a short skirt to school, she becomes very self-conscious of people potentially peeking at her. She inwardly feels she now understands what sexual harassment actually is and vows to restrain herself in the future.
One has to take care in interpreting Tomoko's developing sexuality. As expected, she has fantasies she engages in which the manga and anime hint at and often play for humorous effect. She will play a game and have tissues ready. She will listen to yandere boys CDs. Reading on how to have "erotic dreams" she wastes a night trying to have them only to fall asleep in class having one. A lot of humor involves her trying to act more experienced than she is. She is curious about her body but sometimes tries to hide it. Thus, the scene with Yū is played more for her curiosity rather than actual attraction to Yū. Similarly, during her high school field trip, when she has a difficult time rousing Yoshida, she decides to tickle her under the covers and it is clear she lets her fingers wander then starts pinching Yoshida's nipples. Tomoko later admits this and apologizes, though she will later boast about it to her brother. This will serve as the beginning of a few comic misunderstandings between the two characters. In another incident in Chapter 84 , Nemoto asks her in the bathroom to scratch her back: "Put your hand inside my sweater." Tomoko blushes and has to take a moment in the stall afterwards.
Tomoko becomes timid when talking to a boy
On the other hand, soon after in Chapter 86 Tomoko must participate in school-wide athletic activities. She has to pick a "hot guy" as a pair in a running race. Desperate, she approaches her brother who refuses but provides an upperclassman from his soccer team. Tomoko becomes so overwhelmed she fears participating in the three-legged race with another boy. Doing so, in her words, breaks her mind. She realizes that other than "business handshakes with voice actors," she has had no real interactions with boys.


Yocchan's appearance in the anime varies considerably from his appearance within the manga . In the anime , he wears round glasses and has a spiked up haircut, while his manga counterpart has no glasses and a messy bowl cut. His anime appearance also seems to be a little chubby and is drawn comically with "fish lips" to indicate his confidence in beating "The Queen."

His personality is unknown other than he enjoys playing card games. He may be very confident, or possibly even over confident, as he willingly accepts the challenge from "Queen" Tomoko. Shown more in the anime , he plays his match without fear or concern during her turns and with only seriousness and confidence during his own. He does not talk in the manga .


Akari has a short pixie haircut depicted as black in the manga and as a dark brown in Episode 3 of the anime. As a high school student, she wears a headband. According to Chapter 88 , she is either an A or a B cup. The Volume 18 Special Edition statistics reveal her height to be 148 cm or 4'10¼".

Akari can be petty at times, at least when it comes to romance. When seeing her crush with another girl she may get jealous and try to out-do her potential "love rival." However, Akari is not cold-hearted and will not sabotage her rival just to get her way.


She has long presumably dyed-blond hair which she wears in a ponytail. The cover to Volume 16 depicts it as a salmon color. Unlike Yoshida, she has not appeared in a flashback or in TomoMote to demonstrate her natural hair color; however, most characters like Yoshida, Uchi, and Miyazaki who appear blond have been revealed to have either black to brown hair. She is notable for having "droopy" eyelids that reach her irises. The Volume 16 cover depicts her eyes as green. She dresses similar to a "Gal" (ギャル・ gyaru ). While WataMote Wiki will confess some irritation that she will not stand directly next to certain characters to determine her height, she appears to stand at about the same height as Yoshida and Reina. WataMote Wiki has sent a particularly strongly-worded letter to Nico Tanigawa to demand they rectify this. Until then, since Yoshida is slightly taller than Yuri, Anna is at least as tall as Yuri.

Anna first appears harsh and aloof. She can call Yoshida a "moron" without consequence, and she even denigrates her love of Not for Copyright Reasons Disney World. However, she does go with her on the school trip and tries to smooth over Yoshida's conflict with Reina during the trip. When she later meets Tomoko she playfully calls her a "moron" for skipping studying for midterm exams, but she then accepts her. Despite her initial "delinquent" appearance, she appears supportive of her friends and open to them making new friends.


Yoshida has shoulder-length bleached hair with dark roots. The Volume 15 Special Edition confirms that her natural hair color is black. While not always obvious, she wears a set of earrings that appear to be a hanging length of small balls along with small hoops higher up her ears. She is lean and of above average height, being taller than her upperclassman, Megumi Imae. The Volume 18 Special Edition statistics reveals the she is 165 cm or 5'5" tall, which would make her with Asuka Katō one of the tallest of the WataGirls. Unlike many of the girls in her class, she has sharp, angled eyes and small irides. While she does not appear in Season One of the anime , she appears in color on the cover of Volume 8 and her eyes appear a light brown. She often wears just the skirt and shirt without the blazer or tie. Outside of class in the amusement park which for copyright and trademark reasons is not at all based on Tōkyō Disneyland , she adorns herself with various "cute" paraphernalia from the park.

Unlike many of the other girls, Yoshida is quick to anger and to become violent when provoked. During the class trip, Yoshida threatens Tomoko when provoked by Tomoko's characterization of her as a delinquent. She subsequently hits Tomoko on several occasions usually due to a comic misunderstanding or Tomoko unable to resist the temptation to tease her. Tomoko is not the only one who views her as rough. When Emiri Uchi offers her a treat from a vacation trip, Yoshida initially yells at her and refuses, then, when trying it, finds the treat "fucking awesome!" to Uchi's shock. Yoshida does not seem to care much about school as she is seen sleeping during class, and she does not show up for two days in a row. Yoshida displays innocence. Tomoko and Yuri Tamura politely ignore when she fails to recognize a " Love Hotel ." This is an early indication of her fascination with cute things.
When depicted in earlier chapters, her own group of long unnamed friends, Reina and Anna Haruna , appear to neither fear nor respect her as Tomoko, Uchi, and others do. Her friends freely call her a "moron" to her face which Tomoko and others would never dare to do, and Yoshida initially never physically lashes out at them though this behavior from her friends seems to depress her a bit. However, Yoshida has a line which involves her almost childlike love of cute things. In a later chapter she punches Reina when she ridicules something she finds cute. However, as their stories develop, it seems that all three enjoy each others company. With Anna's support Reina does try to apologize for insulting something cute with a hilarious misunderstanding. In an addition to the published volume, Reina tries to convince a costumed amusement park character to come with her to meet Yoshida since she believes she will love it.
Tomoko discovers this part of Yoshida's personality when she notices Yoshida's panties have a kitty on them and later finds Yoshida's cutesy cat handkerchief. Yoshida also commands her to win her a stuffed doll at an arcade game, forces everyone to wear cat, mouse, and bunny ears at the amusement park , all the way to making them attend and take part in a character concert. When Tomoko and Yuri seem to take part with her mainly out of intimidation, Yoshida relaxes and happily embraces the both of them. In Chapter 128 , she assumes her group will attend the night parade at the park with her. When they protest that they must return for roll call at 4 P.M. she sternly demands that they then return to the park. As the rest stare at her in silence, she becomes very meek and asks if this means they will not attend the parade with her. They agree to do so. This event suggests that despite the "loner" and "delinquent" exterior, Yoshida does not want to be alone; she sincerely wants friends who want to share her interests. In the subsequent chapters to Chapter 130.5 , Yoshida softens her "rough exterior" when someone treats her as a person rather than a "type": in Chapter 129 she immediately warms to Asuka Katō when Katō compliments her on her "bear" bag, and Yoshida is very happy to find Yuri saved a place for everyone to watch the fireworks in Chapter 130.5 .
Another line that becomes clearer as her character develops involves others making assumptions about her based on her appearance. As noted in the case of the Love Hotel, she has a degree of innocence. While played for comedy, her reaction to Tomoko groping and fondling her really consists of Yoshida becoming withdrawn and refusing to discuss the matter. Yuri tries to mediate while Tomoko apologizes by offering to allow Yoshida pinch her nipples. While comic, Yoshida becomes very upset at the suggestion that what Tomoko did was a small matter and that Tomoko would expect her to do it in turn. The first time Yoshida is seen actually hurting someone is when Uchi possibly takes the same opportunity Tomoko took to grope her while trying to wake her. Yoshida believes it is Tomoko doing it again despite knowing how it upsets her. Again, Yoshida becomes very angry but also very withdrawn. Another time involves Kotomi publicly accusing her of being a slut. The scene plays for comic misunderstandings between Kotomi, Tomoki, and Yoshida to culminate in Tomoki accidentally grabbing the wrong place when he restrains her, but it contains serious overtones. As noted below, Yoshida kept her distance from Tomoki by assuming he viewed her as a "delinquent." Some time later she acted a bit kinder. When they encounter one another in the cafeteria, Yoshida mildly flirts with him while Tomoki does not really pursue. Whether or not Yoshida has any interest in him beyond playful teasing currently remains unknown. Kotomi publicly denouncing her as basically a slut going after younger boys plows through that line. When she walks into Tomoki's hand, she becomes profoundly embarrassed, and Kotomi heaping on more accusations that she is blushing out of enjoyment pushes her to punch Kotomi hard in her stomach much like she elbowed Uchi. As with the previous cases, she withdraws within and leaves.
Along with this line, Yoshida reveals a subtle empathy that would appear to run counter to her "delinquent" stereotype. Despite Tomoko's teasing and pinching, Yoshida understands her enough to recognize Tomoko's social anxieties. While played for comedy, she drags Tomoko to say goodbye to Megumi Imae after her graduation, because she knows Tomoko does want to see her. She earlier recognizes that Tomoko wants to share an umbrella with her but is afraid to ask. In Chapter 136 , she notices Mako, with whom she has had limited contact, sitting alone and crying, and she rushes over to ask her what has happened.
While Masaki's plans currently remain unknown, she takes Ogino 's suggestions seriously during her suspension with Tomoko. She remains reticent to make a decision as exemplified by her unwillingness to reveal them to Mako who has tried to assist her. Nevertheless, Masaki can follow through with plans. When Tomoko suggests to her that she obtain her driver's license , Masaki later reveals that she has taken a part-time job to pay for the license as well as classes. Chapter 181 shows that she successfully obtained her license, and her driving ability impresses the skeptical Tomoko.
Chapter 158 reveals that she does not like scary stories.


From time to time they release some anecdotes about their lives, especially in their Omakes . They depict themselves as the Author wearing glasses and the Artist having droopy eyes.

They are very private and do not release much in the way of personal details including pictures. The author jokingly refers to himself as "Ikko" in interviews when he is alone. During a convention, they went as far as to wear cat masks hide their identities. [citation needed]


She has long presumably dyed-blond hair which perpetually casts a shadow over her eyes, though the Volume 16 and 19 covers, as well as bonus art done by the Artist , depicts her hair dyed with a greenish tone. She appears to stand about the same height if not slightly taller than Yoshida which makes her taller than Anna and Tomoko.

Reina initially appears as the stereotype "delinquent" Tomoko imagines her to be. She initially seems dismissive of Yoshida, particularly her love of childish things. Subsequent chapters reveal that Reina apologizes to her. Despite Tomoko's characterization of her, Reina does not denigrate others such as Tomoko or Futaki . Instead, she invites them to play a video version of majong in Chapter 147 . In that chapter she claims that she will attend a vocational school after high school. She acts friendly to Tomoko when she meets her on a train and later insists that Mako and Yuri share a plate of food during the celebration of Yoshida and Tomoko finishing their suspension.


Without her face, she appears like any anonymously drawn character. With her face, she appears to be a beautiful girl, though Koharu contends that her face is like a "mask," and insists she is cuter. Until Chapter 218 , her eyes are depicted without a distinction between her pupils and irides, and unless she is upset, without sclera. In that chapter, she reveals a faint distinction. In her color appearance for the WataMote 10th Anniversary materials, reproduced in the Gallery , her eyes appear a deep grey. She normally has near-shoulder length black hair parted in the middle.

For the vast majority of her Faceless existence, Sachi is a snide, cruel, manipulative, self-centered, and other negative adjectives that escape WataMote Wiki 's attention that all combine to justify the Proper English name for a female canine. With her breaking up of her group during the Koharu Arc, small bits of her personality come out. She is seen sitting behind Yuri on a train listening to Yuri's conversation with Tomoko. She later raises the same subject with her group. Though she claims she will use the free time to study and feigns satisfaction with losing her friends, she fears being seen as a loner and eats lunch alone in the same place that Tomoko, then Tomoki seek refuge. She meets Tomoki there and assumes, when he talks to her, that he is trying to hit on her. When he does not pursue her further, and seems cool and disinterested, Sachi confesses to herself that that is the sort of boy she could fall for.
Desperate to avoid lunch with the Killer Chef and her Hapless Boyfriend , Koharu seeks her out, and the two agree to have lunch together. Sachi even makes the effort , despite continuously denouncing it as "annoying," to give Koharu a proper birthday party. She even agrees to sing to her. However, later she spats, "Die, Pig!" to Koharu. At the time of this edit, it appears Sachi is a "work in progress," so "stay tuned!"
The Volume 20 Omake depicts her as a first-year student. Faceless, she listens to a news reports as she readies herself for school about a boy who died skateboarding into a highway and laughs and denigrates him. When she joins a group that includes Yuri, Mako, and Koharu, when the subject of this boy comes up, she, Faceless, wonders about denigrating a boy who died. Nevertheless, she chooses to denigrate him which Koharu eagerly joins in with her.


Yuri has black hair which she puts into two low pigtails. Her eye color depicted on the cover for Volume 13 is blue to purple. She is lean and the statistics contained in the Volume 18 Special Edition list her height as 160 cm or 5'3". Yuri usually maintains a calm to disinterested demeanor; however, when upset she can look stern.

Yuri initially appears calm and collected, often acting as mediator between Tomoko and Yoshida. She exhibits kindness when she tries to befriend Tomoko by inviting her to eat lunch, despite there being no obligation to continue a friendship. In recent chapters, it is shown that Yuri is an introvert who prefers to have a small group of friends. She used to rely solely on Mako for most of her social outings but now that circle has extended to include Tomoko and even Yoshida. Yuri appears uncomfortable sharing Tomoko, Yoshida, and Mako with others. In Chapter 124 , Yuri reveals that she feels insecure and jealous whenever someone outside her small circle of friends seems to share a closer bond with either Tomoko or Mako. She is aware of this. After meeting Yū Naruse , Mako remarks that she seems like a "nice person," to which Yuri replies "unlike Kuroki-san and me." She tests her friends which seems to either satisfy her or drive them away.
Nevertheless, she becomes upset when others ignore her or slight her, which may explain her need to test her friends. She also becomes upset when others recognize aspects of herself she does not want to admit. As noted, she punches Mako in the arm when she explains to her how she is acting just like the mean-spirited gossip Minami. When Uchi wants to ride a roller coaster again , secretly hoping to sit next to Tomoko again, she ends up next to Yuri who hates roller coasters. Uchi ignores her and declares the ride boring to Yuri's irritation. The next time they ride together, Yuri angrily pinches Uchi's arm, making her scream. When Tomoko politely tells her she does not have to force herself , she reacts by elbowing Tomoko hard in her arm.
During the trip to the amusement park Yuri admits to Hina Nemoto that she does not really like her. Subsequent to that trip, Yuri develops an antagonistic relationship with her over their respective friendships with Tomoko. Both engage in petty sniping, such as Yuri interrupting Hina during lunch to reveal she does not know about Tomoko's brother . In Chaper 136 , she borrows a manga from Tomoko that causes a number of other girls including Yoshida to cry over the ending. Despite reading it a few times at home, she does not cry, and she wonders if she is like Koharu Minami .
During the intramural ball tournament that takes place between Chapters 148 to 154 , Yuri privately asks Tomoko to help her practice table tennis. She does succeed in winning a match, which she needles Hina and Tomoko with, then suggests to Tomoko, Hina, Katō , and even Shiki Futaki that they have other opportunities to share in class activities, only to retreat a bit back in her shell by claiming that she "does not care." In Chapter 163 , she mentions to Tomoko and Mako that she has received text messages from boys wanting to ask her out, but she just ignores them.


Aomatsu has tidy brown hair and brown eyes. He wears glasses and is of average height.

As a middle school student In the OVA, Aomatsu acts much like Tomoko Kuroki : he appears a loner, looks at his peers with contempt, find his life boring, and has anime-based fantasies. By high school he appears to be somewhat more normal and well-adjusted.


Wada wears his apparently brown hair long in the manga . Tomoko describes him as a " shota .''

Wada appears pleasant, though he does not have a significant role until Chapter 144 where he happily chats with Tomoko about manga.


No-Rin

Kakizaki is a muscular teenager with light skin and with black hair (It is spiky in the anime).
He wears a red wrestling singlet.


No-Rin

Kaoru is considered to be "the hottest guy at school" (by Kōsaku Hata ) with shoulder-length pink hair that has a small hair strand hanging in the middle, blue eyes and a black mole under his left eye.
He wears some sort of long prince-like school uniform with his white shirt unbuttoned that reveals his chest.


No-Rin

Kei has neck-length blue hair (pitch black hair in the anime), blue eyes (pitch black eyes in the anime) and he occasionally wears round-square glasses (his glasses is much like oval with no frame on the tops).

Contrast of his appearance, Kei is a cool-acting man who likes on throwing jokes that he seemingly annoys Kōsaku Hata and he also seems to act dense towards Kochō Yoshida .
He is very knowledgeable in almost everything, unlike Hata, he is very observant and open minded. However, he is also a bit of an exhibitionist. He is aware of Yoshida's feelings for him, but it wasn't clear if he also feels the same for her.


No-Rin

Kochō has butt-length darker pink hair (lighter pink hair in the anime) that has bangs swept to the right side with three braids; one on the right side, a medium-length braid hanging on the right side of her shoulder, and one tied in the back, golden eyes (olive eyes in the manga) and very large breasts that surpass Minori Nakazawa 's breast size.

Kochō is an adult-acting student who acts proud of herself. She has such a high esteem for herself that she calls everyone vulgarians. She is also sensitive about her breasts and hates when people call her nicknames that poke fun at them, such as "Funbags Mcgee."


No-Rin

Kōsaku has straight dark olive green hair (brown hair in the anime) that is seemingly messed up on the tips and golden eyes (deep taupe in the anime).
Kōsaku is usually seen wearing his school uniform or his farmer attire.

Kōsaku is such a kind and a high-spirited person who can be seen acting childish sometimes, but he always put out all his effort when it comes to serious matter.


No-Rin

Minori has olive hair, green eyes with olive shades and large breasts (the colors of her hair and eyes are rather brighter and lively in the anime) and a busty figure.

It appears that Minori is over-protective of Kōsaku Hata and this over-protectiveness shot up with Ringo Kinoshita 's arrival that she even challenged her to a series of contests because of that ( Episode 3 ). Although after what seems to be their "fight" on the rice fields in an episode, they seemed to be friendly with each other.


No-Rin

Becky is an attractive adult woman with darker blonde hair (light blonde hair in the manga) that has bangs hanging over her eyebrows, darker blue eyes (light blue eyes in the manga) and a medium bust.

Becky is a desperate psychotic pervert who is very complex about her single life which makes her do a lot of strange stuff (oiling herself and filming herself). She is somewhat mean to Ringo Kinoshita as she once claims that Ringo took her spot of the school's idol and she is jealous of her youth.


No-Rin

Ringo has steel blue hair that is usually tied to side twintails and straight-cut bangs with dirty white ribbons (her hair color is Spanish violet and her ribbons are clear white in the anime), fandango eyes with shades of coral pink and a rather emotionless or tired face.

Unlike her idol persona ( Yuka ), Ringo is a more reserved and quiet girl whose personality seems to be very stiff and plain, but during the time spent at Tamo Agriculture School with Kōsaku Hata and the others, she starts to warm up and even smiled at the end of Episode 4 after Kōsaku and the others show her a field of dead soil and she eats a tomato from one of the refreshed soils which took 7 years.


No. 6

Ann is a young female with red hair she wears in a ponytail tied with a blue hair band. She has green eyes, pale skin and freckles. She wears a pale yellow jumper.

Ann is a rather cheerful girl and is shy about being in love, as seen when see asked Safu not to tell anyone else when Safu saw her and her significant other kissing.


No. 6

Inukashi is short, with a slender frame and long dark hair, tan skin, and dark brown eyes. They dress (most likely due to limited resources) in old, worn clothes namely a low-cut, long sleeved button up blouse of faded maroon and old blue pants that are ripped at the hems. They wear a grey belt and tan, strapped sandals.

Inukashi is an independent person who views humans as despicable. They are quick tempered and speaks their mind very bluntly. They have a rash way of speaking with people like Rikiga considering them a brat. Inukashi is very cocky and self aware, but has a kinder side shown in their love for dogs constantly speaking about how they are better and kinder than humans.
They think that Shion is a huge oddball -- not only because of his looks but also because of his personality and naivety -- however they still offer him a job. With time spent together, Inukashi finds themselves wondering if they had gotten too attached. It is implied that Inukashi is younger than Shion and Nezumi , but they seem to dabble in more dangerous things than they do in order to provide for their dogs and themself.
Overall, Inukashi is very tough with Rikiga even believing that that may be tougher than Nezumi in the long run, remarking, "Maybe I should watch out more for the dog than the fox." Being very cunning and wary of the world around them, they has a great understanding of the world they live in. They have a deep fear of suffering, pain and death, and despite usually being closed off and secretive, is open about this fact. Nezumi often uses this to manipulate them.
Inukashi does not at first understand caring for other living beings besides their dogs until the point when Shion saves a baby and entrusts it to them to look after. They also come to care greatly for Shion, and on some level even Nezumi. When Shion and Nezumi are inside the correctional facility, it is shown that Inukashi cannot help but wish for them to survive the ordeal. Inukashi doesn't like it, but is glad when Nezumi is willing to sing for their dogs when they're dying. When they asked about the Correctional Facility, Nezumi also promised to sing Inukashi's soul away if they were to die which meant something for them.


No. 6

When Shion was 12 years old, she had nice long brown hair which she tied up in a ponytail, but after the four years leading to the present her hair is now shorter and she wears it up when she is working. In the anime, when she was younger and before she had Shion, her hair was very short, not even ear length. This is shown in the the photo with Rikigia when he was younger along with the founders of No.6 .

Karan has a very warm and happy personality. She remains submissive towards the government of No. 6 even after they attempt to take her son from her, and rejects Yoming's invitation to join a rebelious group after seeing the overpowering malice he feels, to which she responds by saying that is the same as that of the creators of No. 6.


No. 6

Lili lives in Lost Town with her mother, Renka, and step-father, Getsuyaku. She frequents Karan 's bakery and later also help out in the bakery.

Lilli is a bubbly young girl who often visits Karan. She is well-liked by Karan and Shion . Although she is young, she realises that the city is brainwashing people into being happy, and she does not like it.


No. 6

In the novels, Nezumi is described as having a fair, pale complexion and a slender jawline, giving him a feminine image. He has gray eyes and black hair (dark gray in the anime), which is short and just covers his ears. Shion comments that Nezumi's shoulders are broad and he is well-muscled, though he is able to maintain a thin, agile, and androgynous appearance. On his back is a large burn scar as big as a human's hand (in the anime, Nezumi has more than one burn scar) that he received during his childhood.
Nezumi wears a dark grey, green-tinted leather jacket that is decorated with pockets and zippers. Underneath, he wears a pale yellow long-sleeve shirt. His beige cargo pants have large pockets on either side, and he only tucks the left leg into his combat boots – the right side is left loose and is tattered. Around his neck is a large, dark grey scarf made of incredibly durable superfiber cloth, which doubles as his cloak.
In both the manga and anime, Nezumi wears his hair differently. It is longer, about shoulder-blade level in length. He is most commonly seen with it in a spiked ponytail, and he appears to use some of his own hair to secure it. In the anime adaptation, his hair is the color of slate instead of black.
At age twelve, Nezumi's hair was shoulder length. His attire consisted of a light gray sweater with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and denim blue shorts. He was also shorter than Shion.

Outwardly, Nezumi is a rude, sarcastic, and irritable individual, especially when he feels as if he's being questioned. Every time Shion asks Nezumi about himself, Nezumi shortly tells him to stop being nosy. When speaking with others, he often takes on a condescending or mocking tone. Nezumi has a cruel streak when it comes to getting what he wants, such is demonstrated when he tortures the No. 6 official, Fura. However, no matter how much Nezumi denies it, he is capable of thoughtful gestures. At some point, Nezumi gifted Shion's sweater to the young girl, Karan.
Nezumi also has a tendency to to be dramatic and theatrical, due to his love for classic literature. His room is filled with books that range from Shakespeare to Ecology and Scientific Journals.  For someone who has no formal education, Nezumi has a vast amount of knowledge. However, he is unorganized – a fact that is noted by Shion and proven by how messy his room is. In addition to being booksmart, Nezumi's instincts and survival skills are as sharp as his knife.
At the beginning of the series, Nezumi is a very cold individual who keeps himself distanced from others. He stands firm to the belief that you should live only for yourself, that memories and relationships are like shackles that ultimately lead to your downfall.  As the series progresses, this resolve crumbles.  He becomes protective and fond of Shion, and there are a number of times he puts Shion before himself. At one point in the anime series, he appears to begin to tell Shion that he's "fallen in love" with him but is interrupted while infiltrating the Correctional Facility. A few similar scenarios are shown in the manga and novels.


No. 6

Rikiga has short, brown hair and is slightly balding. He has a "petite handlebar" moustache and a short beard. His eyes are brown, and he is slightly over-weight.

Rikiga is a relatively enthusiastic man despite living in the west district. He works as a pimp and at one point offers Nezumi a job as a prostitute, which enrages Shion. However, he soon becomes attached to Shion and becomes a loyal ally.


No. 6

Safu is a teenage girl with dark brown hair that is chin length and brown eyes. She wears a white jacket along with a turtleneck pink shirt, pink scarf, black tights, red skirt, and brown boots. When she was younger she would wear "out dated clothes" like sweaters her grandmother would knit for her.

Safu is a straightforward, blunt, person. She says what she feels like saying when she wants to. If someone wants to pick a fight, she doesn't hesitate to fight back (as seen in Drenched Rat ).
Much like Shion at the start of the series, she seems to be, though to a lesser degree, unable to express herself in a sense that would be like 'normal' people. For example instead of confessing her love to Shion like a 'normal person', she instead asks for his sperm.
Beyond that she is an affectionate girl that cares a lot for the one she loves.
She's extremely loyal and caring, willing to sacrifice herself in order to help Shion and Nezumi take No. 6 down. In her final moments, she laments losing everything and everyone she cares about, but sticks to her decision.


No. 6

When Shion was twelve years old, he wore a white shirt with a light turquoise button up sweater vest over it, light brown trousers, dark brown shoes and his No. 6 ID bracelet on his left wrist. He was born with brown hair and brown eyes, but these changed to white hair and violet eyes (red in the manga and anime) due to the substance emitted from a parasitic wasp. He also developed a long, pink/reddish scar; twisting around his body from his left ankle up to his left cheek/under his eye (manga and anime), twisting messily around his whole body up to his neck (novel). The long scar seems to have emerged from the inside of his veins. He is slim, but not quite emaciated. Another outfit he wears is black trousers and a red coat with a hood. Underneath that, he wears a white collared shirt with a light turquoise sweater over it.

Shion is kind and caring, but is also shown to be a generally naive and idealistic person. He has an amazing IQ level, proven by his acceptance into the Special Course and ability to treat and stitch up the bullet wound in Nezumi's shoulder at only age twelve. When he was restrained to his own bed by Nezumi, rendered motionless, he seemed fascinated rather than scared of his acquaintance's ability.0
Despite his nature, if someone or something he loves is in danger, he does not hesitate to save them. He's not easily angered; however, he isn't above becoming violent when his loved ones are threatened. This is seen when he becomes defensive of Nezumi, attacking and hitting Rikiga when the latter insults Nezumi. In the cave, when Nezumi struggles against Sasori, Shion snaps and wraps a wire around Sasori's neck to strangle him, only stopping after Nezumi forces him to. He has also shot and killed a guard, who had in turn gravely injured Nezumi. Shion seems to take on a different personality when he does so. This is proven when he murdered the guard, becoming shocked and frightened once he had pulled the trigger.
This hidden, darker nature is only hinted at in the manga and anime, but in the novels, it is addressed more often. Nezumi himself openly admits that he fears Shion, and Inukashi picks up on this as well. In the underground cave, Sasori calls Shion a "demon."
Though grateful for No. 6, Shion seems to have a slight doubt about it and the whole system, as noted by Nezumi. He is insecure about many things, including his slender body. He loves his mother very much and seems to like daydreaming as well.


No. 6

He has black hair that reaches the bottom of his neck, as well as a little bit of facial hair on his chin. He is shown wearing a suit with a button-up shirt.

He is caring, for example, he buys Lily bread from Karan's store and he shows concern for Karan as he consoles her when Shion goes missing. He is passionate about his cause which is to expose No.6 for what it really is.


Noblesse

He has short hair and a strong build. He is usually seen wearing an army uniform with medals at his chest. When he performs full-body transformation, he becomes a giant bat-like monster. He can still talk in that form.

The 12th Elder is very arrogant about his rank and keeps disrespecting Crombel as an Elder because he sees Crombel as just a researcher. He tends to talk in an insulting way which has affected his relationship with other Elders. He also has an aggressive attitude. He is very arrogant and was angry with Cerberus members when they lost to Seira and Frankenstein, believing them to be Crombel's creations. Being too overconfident about his strength, he is unable to believe that Frankenstein can easily match his strength.


Noblesse

1st Elder has short blond hair with a long black streak, and his hair is shaven on one side. He has blue eyes, and has a black tattoo on the right side of his forehead. As a forced member of Dr. Crombel's mutants , 1st Elder wore a white clown mask.

1st Elder is a man who believes in humans being on top: a human supremacist. Due to his belief in humans, 1st Elder did not modify himself to the extent of losing his human form entirely as to not become a monstrosity like the 10th , 11th and 12th Elders . He is the former leader of the Union and oversees most of what happens. To save himself from the scrutiny of the other Elders and possible assassination attempts, he used Haydn as a proxy to serve in his role as 1st Elder, thus fooling the other Elders into believing that Haydn was the real 1st Elder, however, he trusted the 3rd Elder and didn't hide his identity from him.
He also keeps tabs on things, for example, the other Elders' activities, the other Elders assume he does not know, as is shown when he told Crombel that he knew of his hidden activities from the beginning, including the research for the Blood Stone , his visit of the Werewolves territory and the activities of the other Elders as well. He is also apparently laid-back, though this may be only for outer appearances, saying that he doesn't mind the Elders doing things covertly since it's only natural that they would do such things. This is also shown when invading the werewolves' territory, as he walked slowly rather than hurriedly and cautiously, wanting to enjoy the experience and saying there's nothing wrong with that.
After the death of many Elders, he expressed sadness over the Union being weakened but also happiness for getting rid of the influence of the other Elders as they made Union a sword which could not be wielded at will. He also does not believe in letting the enemy rest.


Noblesse

3rd Elder is a rather tall, young-looking man with slitted, sky blue eyes. He has dark skin and long, white hair. His hair is styled into shaggy bangs that almost obscure his eyes at the front, in addition to four long braids in the back. He wears a traditional floor-length white Elder robe with gold trim.

According to 5th Elder , 3rd Elder is typically a quiet individual and he himself stated that he doesn't venture into the outside world often. Despite this reclusive behaviour, he is very observant and calculative, acting methodically and shrewdly in everything he does. He is also opportunistic, taking advantage of his current situation in order to benefit himself later. But even with his pragmatic nature, like many Elders, 3rd Elder tries to amuse himself whenever he can, using the guise of personal and secretive work to entertain himself. 3rd Elder is also curious and knowledge seeking. This is demonstrated in his desire to fully understand and grasp the nature of the Union's enemies and how the organisation's current state came to be. Yet, for all his serious and analytical demeanour, he seems to have an offbeat tendency on occasion.
