Kingdom Hearts

Donald is an anthropomorphic duck with white plumage, a yellow-orange bill, legs of the same color, light blue eyes, and a short tuft of feathers on his head, visible under his hat. His outfit is a modified version of his original blue sailor's suit (in fact, he wears his original clothes in the opening of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories ). His blue hat, which resembles a beret, has a belt in place of a normal brim, and sports a zipper that spans the length of the hat. His high-collared jacket is navy blue with sky blue lining and cuffs. There are three pouches, all of which are blue with yellow lining, along the middle of the jacket; the center pouch is secured by a flap, while the other two use silver zippers.
The middle pouch is framed by two other silver zippers that span the entire length of the jacket, from the top of the collar to the bottom. He has a short, blue cape with yellow lining that he wears draped over his shoulders, kept in place by a silver strap. Donald also wears a thick, gold bangle on each of his wrists, and, like his cartoon version, he does not wear pants.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep , Donald is seen in a much different outfit during his tutelage under Yen Sid . Donald's hat in now much taller and resembles a stereotypical witch's hat, as well as the hat on his Mage's Staff. It is dark blue, has a wide brim with gold lining, and the tip curls in a very angular fashion. His navy jacket is now much longer and has a blue addition to the bottom that covers the lower half of his body. The sleeves are long and resemble those of a sweater, sporting vertical creases. The jacket now has two large, yellow buttons down the front, a gold-lined pattern of ovals, rather resembling Mickey Mouse's ears, on the lower half, and a blue belt tie around the waist.
Donald also wears a shorter, light blue coat over his jacket, this one with more bell-like sleeves, gold lining and cuffs, a turtleneck-esque collar, and the two silver, vertical zippers present in his jacket in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II . Donald's webbed feet are also slightly different in this appearance, as the toes are less distinguished.

Donald is the most aggressive member of the group. Though he has mastered spells, Donald is very reckless and is the comic relief in many games. Initially, he and Sora often argued, but in the end grow into a deep friendship. Donald is also very protective over Goofy and King Mickey as he is the most worried in Castle Oblivion when he fears he will forget about Mickey, and also in Kingdom Hearts II when Goofy is thought to be dead.
He immediately runs into the battle after that. All in all, deep within Donald's short tempered and impatient nature he is actually good hearted, as he would sacrifice anything for the sake of friendship; this is proven twice in the games, when he initially leaves Sora to follow Riku after he obtained the Keyblade, but eventually chooses to return to his side; also when the King orders him and Goofy to take Sora from Hollow Bastion to look for Kairi and Riku, but chooses against his orders to help Leon and the others protect Hollow Bastion. He also seems to be afraid of Daisy as shown at Disney Castle when she yells at him for missing their date.
He also has somewhat of a greedy side, as commented when Sora and Goofy expressed worries that Donald would lose himself to the curse of the Aztec gold in Port Royal ; or when Abu stole a sparkling ruby and Donald became infatuated with it.


Kingdom Hearts

Goofy is an anthropomorphic dog with black fur and droopy ears. His outfit in the Kingdom Hearts series is a modified version of his basic outfit in the modern Disney cartoons; in fact, he wears his normal outfit in the opening of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories . He has two bucked teeth and three short hairs coming out of the top of his head, just in front of his hat. Goofy's hat is orange (save for a blue band in the middle) and the top is an odd shape, resembling a teardrop placed on its side. There is a small pair of red goggles around the bottom of the hat as well (strangely, the lenses of these goggles seem to be quite a bit smaller than Goofy's eyes).
Goofy wears a green turtleneck sweater with sleeves that bell out slightly and a blue arrow-shaped strap on each cuff. He wears white gloves with a brown band around each wrist. Over the sweater, he wears a sleeveless, black combat vest with grey lining and four pockets of the same color. Goofy's pants are yellow and secured by a thick, black belt. They have rather large pockets and a pouch on each leg with a silver zipper. The legs of his pants have a peculiar style, with the bottom rims (which are dark orange) being pulled upward in the front by a brown strap. Goofy has very large shoes which are brown with steel toes on the outside.
In Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep , Goofy is seen training with Donald and Mickey with Yen Sid in a significantly different outfit. His hat is now made of metal and resembles a knight's helmet, and sports a curved blade on the top. He wears armor over his body, though most of it is on his left side, leaving his right side mostly exposed except for a metal armlet on his upper arm. His left arm sports the same armlet, but includes several more pieces of armor, such as a pauldron over his left shoulder, a thick, cylindrical gauntlet covering most of the rest of his arm, and a metal glove overtop his normal white one.
Goofy's turtleneck is replaced with a sleeveless, orange shirt with a high, yellow collar. Overtop this, he wears an oblong, blue piece of clothing over his right half, held on by a black strap attached by yellow, star-shaped buttons. He wears a thick, metal belt around his waist with two blue straps looping around the back of it. Goofy's pants are baggy and orange with a noticeable seam down the front of each leg. The bottom of the legs are black with gold lining. Goofy's shoes, while equally as large as the were in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II , are made of metal and the toes curl upward.

While his name might insinuate that he is simple-minded and unintelligent, it is a misnomer as often times Goofy has shown to the voice of reason for Sora and his companions, and is also amazingly calm and cheerful, retaining his composure when Sora and Donald are completely undone. One example is in the beginning of the Traverse Town section of the original Kingdom Hearts , Goofy states that Pluto might lead to where they need to go, but Donald blows him off when in reality, if they had followed Pluto, they would've found Sora much earlier than they did.
He has also proved on occasion to have more common sense than Sora and Donald; in the Land of Dragons , when Sora and Donald mistake Mushu 's shadow for a Heartless and try to attack him, Goofy hesitates and shouts, "Maybe we'd better look before we leap!" Goofy also tends to notice things that Sora and Donald don't, such as when they met Mulan and he was the only one of the trio to first notice she was a girl when he said, "You're pretendin' ta' be a boy, aren'cha?", leading to a humorous double-take from both Donald and Sora, as they admitted to never having even suspected it.
However, there have been instances in which Goofy is indeed clumsy, shown when he accidentally zaps Sora, Donald, and himself into the game grid in Space Paranoids, and walking into a cart in Agrabah. Additionally, Goofy occasionally has trouble pronouncing words, such as pronouncing "meddling" as "muddling", and referring to Ventus as "Venquist", "Ventilate", and "Veggie".
On many occasions, he has been shown to be the glue that holds the trio together on their adventures; never getting into an argument with either Sora or Donald. Because of this, he is often the one that Sora seems to look to for reason as opposed to what Goofy's name would suggest. He also appears to view his friends highly, often stating very good things about his friends: Sora and King Mickey . As with this, Goofy is very loyal to his friends, an example being how he saves Sora when Riku tries to kill him. All in all, Goofy is a lovable and friendly person who always looks for the good in others and tries to help them.


Kingdom Hearts

Kairi's appearance shows the most style change of the trio of main characters. Kairi has auburn hair, blue eyes, a pale complexion, and a necklace with a silver bead that is only absent when she wears her school uniform.
At age 14, during the events of Kingdom Hearts , she wears a white top with a black one underneath (the black one shows at her collarbone and at the hem) which slightly exposes her navel, purple biker shorts underneath a purple skirt with a blue belt, and white slip-on shoes with purple caps. She also features a black choker, a yellow wristband as well as a purple armband on her left arm and a pair of bracelets on her right arm.
In Kingdom Hearts II , Kairi is taller, her hair is longer and has become a darker shade of auburn, her bangs part to the opposite side.
She dons two outfits in Kingdom Hearts II : her school uniform which features a white shirt of which she has rolled up the sleeves, a sky blue striped tie which she has slightly loosen up, a matching skirt with navy knee-high stockings and black shoes; and then her main outfit which mainly contains a pink strapless mini-dress made up of three zippers (two appear to be just decorative) as well as a white halter top underneath her mini-dress with a black hood. She also sports three bracelets on her left wrist, a black belt reminiscent of suspenders with a note book-shaped bag attachment, and lilac sneakers with black laces.
As a child, as seen during Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and scenes from Kingdom Hearts , her hair is a little longer than it is when she's 14; she wears a white apron-like shirt with blue flowers and a blue line across the chest, a pink skirt with a white line on it and large, white shoes with pink and purple lines on them.
In Kingdom Hearts III , Kairi has a pink and black dress, black ruffles on one side of her skirt and plaid on the other, with thick belted boots.

Kairi is caring, kindhearted and brave. She is determined and courageous when someone she cares about is in danger, as she always puts herself in harm's way to help Sora when he's in trouble despite the dangers. Kairi's heart is said to be filled only with pure light and goodness, despite darkness and evil residing in almost every heart. Kairi's good heart filled with pure light helped lead Sora back to his true form when he was consumed by the Heartless, and led Sora and Riku back to Destiny Islands when they were trapped in the Realm of Darkness after their battle with Xemnas.
Kairi is also very charismatic, quickly befriending Hayner, Pence, and Olette in Twilight Town before being kidnapped by Axel. She's usually always very cheerful and upbeat. Although she has no ability to defend herself in combat like Sora and Riku, she is very brave and strong willed and will put herself in danger anyway to help her friends. Unfortunately, this sometimes results in her needing rescuing by Sora. Near the end of Kingdom Hearts II , she finally obtains a Keyblade of her own given to her by Riku and helps Sora and Riku fight against the Organization. She is currently studying under Master Aqua to continue training with her Keyblade.
Probably the biggest part to Kairi's character is her fear of change and the anxiety with it. In contrast to Sora and Riku, who were both curious about Kairi's hometown, she'd rather live on the Destiny Islands with her friends. Kairi even prefers to stay on the islands rather than go to Hollow Bastion. And even so, up to the midway point of Kingdom Hearts II, she stays waiting for Sora and Riku to return. But she is loyal to her friends, and can be rather stubborn sometimes.
While the bond of friendship between Sora, Riku, and Kairi is strong, Kairi seems to be particularly closer to Sora than to Riku. This is noticeable when Kairi mentions a change in Riku to Sora in the beginning of Kingdom Hearts and suggests to Sora that just the two of them leave the island, which she quickly takes back as a joke. Her connection to Sora was strong enough for Kairi to recognize him in heartless form later in the game.
Kairi also has a strong connection with King Mickey's dog, Pluto. They met on Destiny Islands, and the she followed him through the dark corridors. Pluto is like her protector as well. It was loving that Pluto went to comfort her at the Organization's dungeon with her responding nicely by petting him.


Kingdom Hearts

In Birth by Sleep , Sora wears a white v-neck t-shirt with blue hemming around the neck, arms, and waist, red cargo shorts with maroon pockets, and orange sandals. His spiky hair is shorter and lays flat on top. Sora is 4-years-old during Birth by Sleep .

Kingdom Hearts [ ]

In Kingdom Hearts and Chain of Memories , Sora wears a Mickey Mouse style outfit containing a red jumpsuit with puffy shorts and a zipper that runs down the entire front. He wears a black and white jacket over top, large yellow shoes, white fingerless gloves with yellow and blue straps holding on a silver circle plate, a blue belt with chains hanging off, and his signature silver crown necklace. His brown hair is longer, and slightly more spiky up top and on the sides. Sora is 14-years-old during Kingdom Hearts and Chain of Memories .

Kingdom Hearts II [ ]

In Kingdom Hearts II , Sora wears a navy blue v-neck t-shirt with white hemming and a red front pocket, and black chap-style shorts with yellow belts holding on two red pockets on either leg. He has a black hooded jacket with white hemming and pauldron-like additions on the shoulder with yellow belts hanging off the front. His fingerless gloves are black with white hemming, a yellow wrist strap, and white straps making an x across the back of the hand. His shoes are black and yellow with blue straps and a zipper running the length of each shoe, and he wears his signature silver crown necklace. His hair retains its spiky nature but is slightly shorter.
Sora is 15-years-old during Kingdom Hearts II .

Dream Drop Distance [ ]

In Dream Drop Distance , Sora's appearance in the Sleeping Worlds is a combination of his previous outfits in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II . He wears a black v-neck t-shirt with a white x across the stomach, red shorts that are black below the knee with both built-in pockets and external pockets, and a blue belt. His shoes are the same as Kingdom Hearts , but the straps are white, the soles are blue, and the ankle of the shoe is black. Similar to his shoes, Sora's fingerless gloves are the same as Kingdom Hearts except they're black in color and have a single yellow strap-like Kingdom Hearts II . He retains his signature crown necklace and his hair is the same as it was in Kingdom Hearts.
Sora is 15-years-old during Dream Drop Distance .

Kingdom Hearts III [ ]

In Kingdom Hearts III , Sora's appearance is a combination of all previous outfits. He wears a black v-neck t-shirt with white hemming, black shorts with gray pockets like Dream Drop Distance held on by red straps similar to Kingdom Hearts II . Unlike previous outfits, his shorts are tight around his calves. He wears a longer black hooded jacket with red hemming, gray pockets with white hemming, and red flannel flaps that are held down by a series of yellow buttons. His shoes have the opposite color scheme of Dream Drop Distance with the ankle and tongue of the shoe folded down, and a single black strap. His gray fingerless gloves come to a v on his hands and are just short of his elbow. The gloves have red hemming, a yellow strap around the wrist, and a silver circle plate on the back of the hand like in Kingdom Hearts. His hair is significantly shorter and less spiky, and he continues to wear his signature crown necklace.
Sora is 15-years-old during Kingdom Hearts III .

Like most typical heroes, Sora is brave and heroic, impulsively risking his own life for people he doesn't know and is loyal to a fault. Despite everything that he has endured throughout his journey, Sora retains his upbeat and optimistic attitude. He shows little tolerance for cowardice and selfishness but is ultimately forgiving of those that are sorry for their actions.
Sora has a remarkable capacity to forgive, even to those who have harmed him and his friends. He shows concern over Maleficent 's safety when she is overwhelmed by Dusks and forgives Naminé for rewriting his memory which caused him to forget his friends. He is quick to show gratitude to Ansem, Seeker of Darkness for saving Kairi 's life, though he was unaware that this was actually Riku in disguise. He stays by Axel 's side as he fades from existence despite knowing that Axel had kidnapped Kairi prior to this, and quickly forgives Neku who had intended to hand him over to Young Xehanort .
Even after losing his friends and his Keyblade to Riku in Kingdom Hearts , Sora's depression was short-lived. He quickly regained his will to fight after being inspired by Beast 's ambition to save his beloved Belle .
A new side of Sora was shown in Chain of Memories when he became angry at Donald for saying that everything that's happening, including the story of his and Naminé's childhood, doesn't make sense. After Goofy suggests that they should slow down and think things through, Sora becomes even more angry and abandons them in Castle Oblivion . Donald and Goofy quickly find Sora and they all forgive each other.
Despite everything that had happened between them, Sora's main goal in Kingdom Hearts II is to find Riku. After reuniting, Sora again shows his capacity to forgive and holds no resentment towards Riku. Likewise, in Dream Drop Distance , instead of holding resentment, Sora is proud of Riku for having passed the Mark of Mastery exam despite having failed himself.
In Kingdom Hearts III , Sora again shows a new side when he is disheartened that he is weaker due to the events of Dream Drop Distance and that his strength shows no signs of returning. This lasts for some time until Hercules gives him some words of encouragement. Sora quickly becomes more determined than ever to get his strength back and continue on with his quest.
However, Sora's personality may be affected by the presence of Ventus ' heart of pure light having resided inside of him for most of his life. After Sora returns Ventus' heart, he becomes noticeably more serious. Despite being more serious than ever about his quest, Sora quickly gives up in the midst of battle believing that he is worthless without his friends.
Unlike in previous installments, Sora is quite snooty and has remarkably little patience for his foes' shenanigans.
However, Sora himself is quite competitive and childish. He often competes with Riku over numerous things, like racing across the islands, and is the first to jump when there's a contest. He is obsessed with pirates and thrilled to get his own ship in Kingdom Hearts III , and was eager to meet Santa Claus in Kingdom Hearts II . Although unintentional, Sora initially does not know how to act towards people of higher authority than him and is very discourteous to both Yen Sid and Queen Minnie .


Kingdom Hearts

The Beast's appearance is a combination of physical characteristics from various wild animals, including a wild boar, wolf, buffalo, bear, gorilla and lion. He often wears a torn purple cape and dark blue pants. When dressed up, he ties his hair back with a blue bow, and wears a blue and yellow jacket, an orange vest, and black pants. He is mostly shown hunched, except when he is in his formal dress.
When in his human form, Prince Adam has shoulder-length red hair. He dons the same formal suit he wore as the Beast, tailored to fit him; he also wears brown boots. The only striking similarity between Prince Adam and his beastly alter ego is his blue eyes.

The Beast was originally a very spoiled, selfish, cruel, and unloving prince. However, in the Kingdom Hearts series he is shown at a later stage in his relationship with Belle, with most of his uncomplimentary traits remedied. The Beast is still prone to lashing out in anger, especially when provoked by characters like Maleficent or Xaldin. But beneath his rough exterior beats a true heart of gold, which Belle has worked to bring out so that everyone can see how beautiful a person the Beast really is.


Kingdom Hearts

Jack is an extremely thin, and equally tall being, his legs being over twice as long as his torso. He is a skeleton, and so his head lacks hair and sports empty eye sockets and nostrils. Strangely, his neck is solid, not showing vertebrae segmentation. His skull is similar, showing no distinction between his upper and lower jaws. His mouth is thin and wide, marked by a number of small "seams", similar to a Glasgow smile. Jack is missing several teeth in a number of different places. Unlike his head and neck, Jack's hands do show joints.
Jack's usual attire is a macabre black suit with white pinstripes. The top has a single white button and a white shirt is visible underneath. His black dress shoes are bizarrely small in comparison to the rest of his body. The coat tails of Jack's coat reach to about knee-length, and he wears a large, black bow-tie shaped like a bat with several white veins in its wings and white eyes. When masquerading as Santa Claus , Jack dons an obviously fake white beard.
Because of Jack's extreme height, he doesn't need to run to keep up with Sora. Instead, he is seen speed-walking throughout the series.

Jack is shown to be incredibly eccentric, always alive and active. He is somewhat of an optimist; when he puts his mind to something, he will not stop until he achieves it. He tends to be slightly oblivious, and never thinks things through, which usually leads to disaster. But he is an overall cheerful character who is greatly respected by all, with the exception of Oogie. He does, however, have a darker side to himself as when angered, he is the scariest thing around.


Kingdom Hearts

Ariel is a slender mermaid with very thin wrists and hourglass figure. She has a green tail with paler green, translucent fins and wears a brassiere made out of purple clams what it covers her breasts. She has bright blue eyes and full red lips. Her most defining feature is her long, cherry red hair that altogether is almost bigger than her entire body.
In Kingdom Hearts II , she is turned into a human for a short time with long slender legs. She is shown in an old sail with some rope keeping it closed when she is first changed into a human. After being taken in by Prince Eric, she wears a dress with light blue sleeves, a black bodice, and blue skirt. She also wears a big blue bow in her hair and black heels.

Ariel is a bright, spirited mermaid that thinks and acts for herself, and doesn't do what others tell her what to do. She can be rebellious at times and act rashly to get what she wants, which often lands her in trouble with her father. She doesn't wait for things to happen to her and is proactive about her future. She has a big sense of adventure, always wanting to find something new even if it is dangerous. Her friend, Flounder, is often the voice of reason between the two of them, although she doesn't listen to him anyway.
Ariel has feelings of disenchantment as she longs for a new world, be it either the human world above or a new one altogether. But, she can also be somewhat gullible, twice falling for Ursula's manipulative skills, even in Kingdom Hearts II , which occurs after Ariel finds out of Ursula's deceptive and antagonistic nature. She is also protective of her friends, doing anything for their safety, as seen when she stole the Trident in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories to save Flounder.


Kingdom Hearts

Elrena has shoulder-length blonde hair, with side-swept bangs and two strands as antennae. Her eyes are greenish-cyan. She wears a white blouse with a black tie, a light blue leather jacket, black shorts, and light blue boots with black socksr.

Unlike her Nobody Larxene , Elrena is more outgoing, friendly and cares about her friends and her Chirithy . She still maintains a sarcastic and cynical attitude.


Kirby

Keke has scraggly, white hair, rosie cheeks and small, cat-like ears. She wears a flowing, purple robe and is always seen flying on a magical broom. In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards , her robe is changed to pitch black and her skin is significantly more pale.


Kirby

Mumbies looks similar to his gaming counter-part, he is a floating disembodied mummy-like head that has white cloth wrapped around itself. There is a hole in its wrapping that reveals a yellow eye, there is one major differices, he has a large gaping mouth with sharp, jagged teeth.


Kiss×Sis

Keita has blue hair, which he wears in a spiky style. His eyes are blue, similar to his hair color but slightly darker. As a former track and field club member he has an athletic body.

Although he is the younger brother of Ako and Riko , he is the most mature of the three siblings. Though he is depicted as also the most childish one when younger. Keita is shown to be athletic more than he is academic, meaning academically he doesn't do as well as Ako but, he does much better than Riko, who has the poorest grades among the three siblings. Keita also mentioned that he is the healthiest person among his friends and that his performance in athletics will help him get admitted into high school.
Though initially annoyed by his older sisters' antics, Keita studied hard to enter same high school as his older sisters due to his love of them and desire to not leave them lonely.
He has strong morals (that have clearly weakened with the constant “attacks” his older sisters have done throughout the series), and he will try to resist the best he can, but he will simply indulge in the moment if pushed too far. He has a great deal of brotherly love toward his older sisters as he not only stands up to his classmates when they start murmuring about their apparent incestuous relationship but also twice to the P.E. teacher.
While at first he initially dislikes himself for becoming attracted to Ako and Riko, he later becomes proactive in his desires. It is later revealed he was in love with his sisters when they were kids and even used all of his money for a prayer so that he could marry both of them. He lost his infatuation with his sister, essentially "growing up", when he found out from his father that polygamy is illegal. Keita is weak to alcohol, and while he becomes livelier when drunk he does not remember anything when he sobers up, but when he gets drunk again his memories come back to him.


Kitchen Princess

Najika has big brown eyes and long, blonde hair that is usually tied in two pigtails. She's of average height with a slender frame.

She loves to cook and eat. Her life dream is to make everyone happy and smile when they eat her desserts. Najika is notably bubbly and a big eater and she is far from elegant, but she, like all main heroines, has a cute charm.


Kiteretsu Daihyakka

In the 1987 special , he wore clothes that look similar to Nobita Nobi with the only difference being the addition of a visor which has the letter "K".
In the anime series he now wears a light blue T-shirt, white underpants and dark blue pants. He also wears green shoes, white socks and a red-yellow themed visor.


Kiteretsu Daihyakka

Korosuke is a samurai robot. His head is made of rubber, and his body is a plastic bucket. His hands are two rubber balls; despite not being able to play rock-paper-scissors with them, some comic panels and animated scenes do depict him with mitten-like fingers. He is approximately 50 centimeters tall and 30 centimeters wide.
Korosuke’s body colors have changed significantly between the publication of the original manga and the release of the 1987 TV special. In earlier color comic media, his head was pink or orange, and his body was red or yellow.

Korosuke as he appears in the 1987 TV special.

In the 1987 special , his head color was changed to light yellow, his body to yellow, and his nose to blue. Additionally, he now carried a samurai sword on his back, which had a yellow tip and a black sheath.
From the anime series onward, his palette was changed yet again: his light yellow head color was kept, but his body is orange, his nose and two circles are now red, and his sword’s sheath is red.


Kiznaiver

Chidori is a girl of average height and appearance with a thin figure and smaller breasts. She has crimson hair to match her eyes and her hair is usually put up into a ponytail with a yellow scrunchie, and pinned back on the right side of her face using a small yellow hair clip.

Chidori was first portrayed as clumsy, emotional, and seemingly nosy at times. She seems to sincerely care about all of the other Kiznaivers, especially Katsuhira Agata (Chidori's childhood friend) and tries to cheer them up when they're upset. She got embarrassed rather easily, and had been told by Tsuguhito Yuta that she was "too heavy" when it comes to her emotions. If too embarrassed or irritated, she would hit the person who caused those feelings.
Chidori was called "Two-Goody Shoes" by Noriko Sonozaki . She has a tendency to take care of others, as seen when she cooks meals for Katsuhira and Hajime Tenga , and also when she tries to solve Katushira's problems for him by talking to the teachers about his being bullied and demanding that the bullies return his money. She is very defensive of her friends, especially Katsuhira because she knows he won't defend himself out of apathy.
Chidori fell in love with Katsuhira during their childhood and very much wished for him to return to his original kind and funny personality. She was very upset when she realized that he would not return her feelings, but also understood that she could not make him do so and that continuing to try would be selfish of her.


Kiznaiver

Gomorin has a cream white body with a nest full of eggs on their heads and cartoon-like scribbled on eyes that are black and red. They have red arms and tail along with skinny purple legs along with red around their bodies that make it look it's tied with a rope. They have a star shape on their face, and are very strange creatures.

Generally obedient but it differs from person to person.


Kiznaiver

Tenga has hazel eyes and spiky pink hair. He is very tall and muscular for his age, which helps reinforce his image and reputation. His skin is slightly tanned and there is a darkened lightning-bolt shaped marking on his hairline, which is possibly a scar. He wears lime green bottom-rimmed eyeglasses, and his eyes have a defined, yet gentle, down-turned shape. Whenever he appears in his school uniform, the fact that he is wearing a bright yellow t-shirt with a logo of a black bear on the chest instead of a white collared shirt, along with sporting shiny red and white dress shoes, sticks out like a sore thumb.
His street style is equally loud and adventurous, but it is noticeably more practical. He is often seen donning tank tops or any shirt that shows off his muscles, along with accessories and, at times, loud flowery or geometric patterns paired with bright colors, typically worn with flip-flops for the summer. Overall, he seems to wear whatever he wishes to as long as it's comfortable, and doesn't seem to adhere to any particular style. His signature accessory is a white beaded bracelet with two pale yellow beads surrounding a larger blue bead in the center.
He is noticeably taller than most characters in the series, appearing to stand at around 185 cm (about 6 feet). He is seen as intimidating and scary by many due to his reputation, but is described in the novel as a "handsome young man" by Katsuhira Agata . [1]

Of the Seven Deadly Sins of Modern-Day Japan, Tenga's sin is that of the "Musclehead Thug." However, while he is known among his peers as an unpredictable and intimidating delinquent, his true personality holds a deep-seated desire to help others.
In the proper spirit of the "Musclehead," Tenga is an incredibly energetic and physically strong person who many times acts on a whim in order to push through and keep events moving along. In spite of his image, however, he in many situations can display some of the highest practical intelligence and observational skills among the seven Kiznaivers, easily able to glean the root of a problem without much effort.
Although his nature is typically thoughtful and concerned for others, when he is faced with strong negative emotions such as jealousy, Tenga is capable of displaying liberal amounts of selfishness to the point of extreme senseless violence. Still, even in such rare cases, he eventually comes to terms deep down that his actions were misguided.
Tenga was shown to be quite perverse, as exhibited when he attempts to fondle Nico Niiyama 's "boobies" as she explained the concept of the Sleep Fairy , earning a big slap from her that everyone connected through the system was forced to endure. His nature was also suggested when he initially talked of "violating" Noriko Sonozaki every time she annoyed him.


Kiznaiver

Honoka is a bespectacled character who has a slim figure. She has dirty blonde hair which she wears in a side braid. She is usually seen wearing her uniform with black pantyhose and brown shoes, but she uses a blue-grey sleeveless sweater instead of the usual black vest. She appears to be around 172 cm (5'8").


Kiznaiver

Katsuhira is a tall, slim boy with droopy, grey eyes. He often has an emotionless expression on his face. He had brown hair as a child, however, the majority of his hair turned white in the aftermath of the Kizuna Experiment. He is usually seen wearing his school uniform which consists of a white shirt with black accents on the cuffs and collar as well as a blue tie with a black cross. He appears to be around 176 cm.

Katsuhira is rather indifferent in all situations, whether he feels pain or joy. He is shown to be emotionless and is also shown to be oblivious to the feelings of other people, despite wanting to build bonds. Due to his lack of interest in himself and others around him, he has trouble forming connections, with the exception of Chidori.
However, it seems like his lack of interest started in grade school, as Chidori's love confession stated that she wishes he would go back to his fun and caring self.
Katsuhira, despite having little emotion, does care for those around him, even to the point where he is willing to risk his own safety for the other Kiznaivers, including jumping off a bridge early in the series to prevent Tenga from doing the same thing. His mood barely fluctuates, and he pays little attention to other people. He is constantly bullied, but doesn't feel the pain.
In episode 10, Katsuhira is shown to be a shy yet energetic boy before the first Kizuna experiment. In that same episode, it is also revealed that once he was permanently connected to Sonozaki, most of his pain and emotions went to her, thus leaving his personality diluted, and his attitude towards others indifferent.
However, throughout the series, he gradually returns back to the same kind, thoughtful and sociable boy he was back then. He is also very forgiving, as seen when he holds no grudges towards others despite what they put him through, especially Sonozaki and Tenga as well as his bullies.
While technically a disability, Katsuhira does not feel pain. This means when the other Kiznaivers are affected by someone else's or their own pain, Katsuhira is not inhibited at all. Despite this, he still bleeds and takes damage when his own body is injured. It is later shown that most of his pains goes to Sonozaki due to their permanent Kizna bond.


Kiznaiver

Yamada has long wavy green hair that is slicked back except for two strands that lie down near his neck. He wears a sleeping mask on top of his head along with a wine red track suit, a black shirt, and a pair of crocs. He appears to be 180 cm.

Kazunao takes no interest in the personal lives of his students and is very apathetic. He has no motivation to work hard and only shows interest in Bishoujo style games and cheap food. He also enjoys teasing his students. As shown in episode 5, he caught Honoka Maki and Tsuguhito Yuta by recording them on his Smartphone. He was likely aware of their conversation based on how long his phone had been recording. And in episode 6, he left a message for the kids asking them to clean up the mess they had left behind in camp. He is shown to not care too much about his student's health, as he watches the Kiznaivers in episode 9 break down emotionally, but he does nothing to stop this and Mutsumi Urushibara describes this as 'bad taste'.


Kiznaiver

A very small old man with short gray balding hair and wrinkles on his face. He wears glasses and has is usually seen wearing either a grey suit, or a yellow polo shirt and brown pants with a belt and white golf glove for when he plays golf.

The mayor is very mysterious at first, but he is the simple and hard-working mayor of Sugomori City. He is very concerned and passionate about the "Smiley-Happy Town For Everyone," Sugomori. Similarly to Urushibara , he adores Noriko as a daughter and is constantly concerned for her safety and wellbeing. While he cares about people in the city achieving harmony just as much as Noriko does, he views Noriko's obsession over the Kizuna Experiment as a bit extreme as it has the potential of damaging the government's public reputation.


Kiznaiver

Mutsumi has jaw-length black hair that is swept to the right, blue eyes and a beauty mark under her left eye as shown in the beginning of Episode 2.
She usually wears a lab coat and dark black waist-high pants with a white blouse.

Initially, Mutsumi comes off as cold, somewhat sarcastic, and even frightening, such as when she pulls out a gun in front of two students in an arcade. In later episodes, she is shown to have caring and motherly qualities, such as in episode 9 when she becomes clearly distressed about the effects of the experiment on the Kiznaivers.


Kiznaiver

Noriko is an outstandingly beautiful girl. She has pale skin, silver eyes and long, light blue hair, with a braid along the crown.
She wears her school uniform, but it is different from the other girls. It consists of a streamline blazer and skirt accented with blue. Both her petticoat and the long-sleeved blouse she wears under her blazer appear to have ruffles. She wears common black school shoes and thigh-high white socks. In place of what appears to be her school's standard necktie is a pale blue bow. She wears a diamond imprint around her neck, much like a choker necklace. She appears to be about 165 cm. However, she is mostly seen wearing her uniform shoes, which would add about three centimeters to her height.
It is shown at the end of episode 8 and throughout episode 9, that Noriko has a Kiznaiver scar on the back of her neck, which had previously been covered up by a choker.

For the most part, Noriko displays very little emotion. Her words are hard and firm towards the Kiznaivers, believing that they can achieve world peace, but she fails to show common traits of humanity herself.
Her beautiful intimidating appearance and her rare signs of emotions are similar to Katsuhira, but during Katsuhira's childhood flashbacks, it is shown that Noriko did smile a lot back when she was a child.
More than anything, the Kiznaiver experiment seems to be her one and only goal. She stated to Mutsumi Urushibara that she wouldn't let the experiment fail no matter what, and speaks quite harshly towards the Mayor when he explains that they are losing their funding. Also, she doesn't seem to know as much about the Kiznaivers as she had previously implied, admitting that she named the Kiznaivers after the Seven Deadly Sins, but none of them actually live up to their given name.
Interestingly, Noriko had told Katsuhira, before he became a Kiznaiver, that everyone in the world wants to connect with someone else. Noriko herself seems to be part of this philosophy, as she wants to find herself within Katsuhira. She possesses a little bit of curiosity about Katsuhira's feelings, as seen in episode 9 when she asks him if he likes her and how long he thinks about her each day.
However, beyond this, true displays of emotion from Noriko have yet to be seen. In episode 10, it is revealed that her lack of emotions is because of a nullifying medicine that she takes regularly to lessen the pain from all nineteen test subjects that she inadvertently endures from the first Kiznaiver experiment.


Kiznaiver

Ruru was a rather thin girl. She had mauve purple hair that was poofed out around her face with bangs swooped above her slightly thick eyebrows and medium brown eyes. She had freckles on her cheeks and a wide smile on her face very often.

According to her parents, Ruru was usually shy around other people. When she met Honoka she opened herself up and revealed that she has a very excitable and outgoing side. When showing her feelings towards Honoka, she even comes off as very outgoing and unafraid, highly contradicting to what her parents may have thought she acted like. Even when Honoka turned her down and forced her to do the rest of the manga by herself, she kept her determined and cheery attitude until her end.


Kiznaiver

Yuta is a tall young man with short teal hair and crooked bangs. His resting face seems somewhat sly and deviant. He wears a school uniform like Katsuhira Agata does. He could be described with the trope of " bishounen ". He appears to be around 178 cm.

A bit of an opportunist and a lady's man in the classroom, he is revealed to be intensely ashamed of his immense chubbiness back in his grade school years, and goes through great lengths to conceal this fact. He places great emphasis on his own appearance and prefers the company of similarly attractive people, acknowledging these facts even, yet at the same time is shown in several instances to be able to look past people's superficial features; as a result of this, he can be surprisingly intuitive at times. Yuta speaks his mind with a candid tongue (such as when he told Honoka Maki that she had a "terrible personality"), and possesses a kind heart underneath the rest of his personality.


Kiznaiver

Hisomu is a naturally handsome, yet unkempt, teenager with mid-length, choppy purple taupe hair that has grey highlights, golden olive eyes, he has multiple piercings on both ears and a single labret piercing beneath his lower lip and he is perpetually seen with bandages covering his neck and his wrists.
His clothes always look quite worn down and tattered, and are invariably paired with flip flops. He appears to stand around 180 cm (5 feet, 10 inches) tall.
Several characters point out that Hisomu is a "natural hot guy" (in constrast with Tsuguhito Yuta , who had to work hard to achieve and maintain his current appearance). Despite his ratty look and lack of concern for personal care, he is often checked out when he is walking in the street, or on the rare occasions that he comes to class.

Hisomu was portrayed as an eccentric masochist throughout the entire series. As a masochist, he experienced arousal when experiencing, or even thinking about pain, and typically expressed this arousal quite vocally and without shame. This caused much chagrin among the kiznaivers, especially Yuta who was deeply peeved and put off by the unsuitable behavior. On top of that it is very ironic, since Hisomu was wired to enjoy an experiment that most people would find difficult to endure.
There is subtle implication that he was suicidal, though like the rest of his traits, he likely did not view it as a problem to concern himself with.
When he was in the same vicinity as Nico Niiyama he would occasionally act childish, as their respective outlandish personalities seemed to amplify each other's. He states to Hajime Tenga that he cannot swim and that he doesn't wish to drown, which contrasts his usual all-inclusive attitude towards pain and suggests that drowning is one of the few forms of pain he doesn't wish to endure. It is unclear whether he has a trauma related to this or anything else, because he seems to have decidedly pushed everything except pain out of his mind.
Aside from this, not much is known about him in general, and he is considered an enigma by everyone, even the former Kizna Committee members who watched his every move. Although he seems benign and spends most of his time smiling innocently, he is capable at all times of being blunt or ruthless with his words, which unnerves the other kiznaivers of his group.

He also has a strong belief that robots should only be fought by other robots and finds anything other than that to be insulting and a breach of aesthetics. This belief is strong enough that while he enjoys seeing new technology such as Zaladecks airships he considers it a breach of aesthetics due to the fact robots would end up becoming obsolete if battleships became more widespread.

Knights of Sidonia

Overall, Benisuzume appears to take on the form of a Garde's shape, particularly Hoshijiro's Garde, even replicating its number '702' on its right shoulder. Though, like a Gauna, it has teeth and most of it appears more organic than anything. During its final sortie against Nagate and Tsumugi , it assumed the form of an eerie, skeletal, biomechanical replica of Hoshijiro.
Surprisingly, Benisuzume replicated its 'pilot', which takes the form of Hoshijiro, and even its cockpit.
Benisuzume's placenta, also known as Beni Hoshijiro (紅星白 lit. 'Red Hoshijiro'), appears almost identical to Hoshijiro herself and is able to speak using Hoshijiro's voice, however her 'skin suit' which is made of placenta covers her body like skin, and is almost impossible to tear off. However she can remove her helmet made of Placenta as well if she wants to. Her eyes appear red with six dots in the middle. When near death, Beni Hoshijiro somehow 'recalls' Hoshijiro's emotions and memories for a moment, and her eyes turn black like Hoshijiro's herself, before turning back to red once more.
Biologically, the pilot herself seems to have replicated Hoshijiro's entire human composition, from bones to organs. From a scientific standpoint, she is, technically, 'human'.

'Beni Hoshijiro' after being captured.

As a gauna, it doesn't possess much of a personality to start with, seemingly only interested in destroying Sidonia in general, and its Knights in particular. Despite this, Benisuzume can appear to be cruel and calculating, even mockingly stating "one/enemy unit down" over comms when it defeats a Garde, often while giggling manically.
It appears to copy any words spoken to it, seemingly understands their meaning, and also seems to be capable of using the words in their proper context, possibly signifying some form of intelligence above what the gauna have demonstrated so far, or at least, a more "human" intelligence.
Even though this gauna is capable of communication, it uses these capabilities not to negotiate with any Sidonian, as Nagate first hoped, but as a weapon of psychological warfare to demoralize, confuse, and manipulate its enemies...something the gauna are very proficient at in general.


Knights of Sidonia

Not much is known about Momose other than she became a skilled pilot and joined the elite Akai Squad and was romantically involved with Mochikuni Akai . Momose was a high-ranking cadet, one of the top four at the academy. She had long since graduated once the story began.


Knights of Sidonia

Seii is a tall man with white hair and blue eyes. He wears the typical crew member uniform until he becomes a Garde pilot, when he exchanges his uniform for a skin suit.


Knights of Sidonia

Izana has a slim build but a slightly taller stature than other females like Yuhata. She has short black hair styled into a bob cut. She has blue eyes in the anime, and black eyes in the manga.
At the start of the series, due to her being neither male nor female, her physical appearance was ambiguous when it came to deciphering her gender, much to Nagate's confusion. Later on in the series Izana becomes a female, due to her attraction to Nagate. Her body structure changes to a more feminine figure, as in a later scene, she attempts to don her usual flight suit, but as it tries to cope around her newer figure, it shreds entirely, revealing her to be decidedly female. She had grown breasts at this point. which led to her being unable to wear her skinsuit which was designed for her previous anatomy, confirming that she did develop female genitalia at that point.
After a dangerous encounter with a Gauna, she loses her right arm and left leg, and they were soon replaced by artificial limbs. Her right artificial arm has 10 fingers, allowing her quicker response and greater comfort as a Guardian pilot. Izana remarks that the prosthetics feel as if she had always had 10 fingers.


Knights of Sidonia

Knights of Sidonia

Knights of Sidonia

She wears a long black dress with a high ruffle neck when she is serving Norio at the Kunato residence.  After being infected by Ochiai, her long white hair is cut into a bob, possibly because it was cut shorter when her head was decapitated.  Afterwards, she is usually seen in a black body suit.


Knights of Sidonia

For being clone of Saito, Nagate is physically identical to him in his younger days. He has short black hair that hangs loosely from his head and black eyes on the sleeve (gray in the anime). He is considered beautiful and attractive by most girls in the series, including non-human as Tsumugi or Teruru. He dresses only in uniform or in his old space suit. It does not have a wardrobe; Kobayashi possibly supplying it with fresh clothes for school and in civilian life.


Knights of Sidonia

Sasaki seems to wear a skin suit similar to those the Garde pilots, but it had many small pockets to hold little pieces of gear. Her hair is tied up in a hefty pony tail, but with ample hair hanging over her ears. Her right eye is completely hidden by her hair, leading some viewers to think she lost that eye, but very brief glances reveal her right eye is intact. Sasaki is already taller than most of the Sidonia's cadets and other crew members, but with her temper taken into consideration as well, she can be somewhat intimidating at times. She wears a pair of goggles over her forehead, which she is never seen using, as well as a hefty wrench on her right hip.


Knights of Sidonia

Like most of the other trainees, Hoshijiro wears the same female uniform as the rest and has chin-length thick black hair, styled into a page boy cut. She has black eyes in the manga, and brown in the anime.


Knights of Sidonia

Ichigaya Teruru is a blue-haired android, made out of artificial parts.

Teruru's personality is heavily shaped by her father. She inherited her father's prejudices against violence, and believed that Nagate was a devil who brought the Gauna to Sidonia. She also takes on the personality of a rather naive woman, especially when discussing her personal image and her feelings towards Nagate.
Like humans, she has a strong aversion to people looking at her naked form. Despite being built entirely from mechanical parts, she retains the concept of "nakedness" and desires emotional rapport with other humans.


Knights of Sidonia

Befitting her hybrid nature, she looks like a humanoid Gauna. She is about as big as a Guardian and looks like a woman in a gown of some sort. Though her face is mostly covered by a layer of placenta resembling a mask, she has teeth and eyes beneath it, with one eye being covered by the placenta. Despite this, however, she is capable of showing facial emotions, noted by Nagate , much to her embarrassment.
When not in battle, she utilizes a probe of herself connected by a long tentacle of Placenta to her main body to move around Sidonia through the pipes. This version of herself has a single eye in the middle with two tentacles or more if necessary, that act as 'arms'.


Kobato.

Like Chise Mihara , Chiho has long blond hair reaching to her knees with two pigtails at the front and brown eyes.

Kobato.

Ginsei has the appearance of a white rabbit with a pirate patch on his right eye, and a scar among his left eye.


Kobato.

Ioryogi takes the form of a stuffed blue dog with a grumpy face and wearing a spiked red collar. Little is known about his real appearance as it is mostly shadowed in the manga and not shown in the anime (except for a silhouette in Episode 22).
Whilst in his true form, he is tall with long black hair, tattoo-like markings under his eyes, and wears a long cape with fur trim.

He may look cute and un-harmful when he's in public, but he is really bad-tempered whenever Kobato does something wrong and stupid. He's always pushing her down back to earth and serving her as a guide since Kobato is very light-headed and is frequently making detours. Ioryogi has a lot of common sense and knows people's bad intentions, but he also likes to make fun of Kobato as well, like calling her "Dobato".


Kobato.

Kazuto is a handsome young man with neck-length black-grey hair that has long hair strands hanging over his face and grey eyes.

Not much is known about Kazuto, but he keeps threatening Sayaka Okiura to pay her debts so that the school will not be closed down.

Keita is one of those whose hearts was healed by Kobato.


Kobato.

Fujimoto has greenish eyes, and long brown hair that he keeps in a ponytail.


Kobato.

Kobato is considered as a beautiful and cute girl with a rather fair skin tone where her cheeks usually tinged with pink, long red-brown hair that reaches her knees and cuts herself into the more polished sofas around her head. Her eyes are large and shiny, often matching the color of her hair.
Always seen wearing long dresses or baggy pants, she is also noted for always wearing a hat.

Kobato has a very cheerful and enthusiastic outlook in life and her wanting to aid others in need is very heartfelt and sincere. However, she can also be clumsy, rather clueless, and rash with her actions, and often trips over her own feet, much to Ioryogi's annoyance. She has a very beautiful voice, so much that people dragged her away so she could sing on a stage. Ioryogi states that "it's one of the only things she's good at, like Kohaku ."


Kobato.

Kohaku has blonde hair with a spiral on one side and golden-brown eyes. Kohaku often wears a purple shirt and medium blue jeans.

Kohaku is a carefree character, willing to allow Fujimoto to understand what happened when Kobato disappeared back to Heaven (because she didn't fulfil her wish) which everyone else forgot.
Both also know " Ashita Kuru Hi ", a song Kobato is often seen singing, as shown in the anime and manga of them singing for a ginkgo tree in sync with Kobato.


Kobato.

Marina is very little, as her classmates. She has ear-length brown hair, tied up in two pigtails. She has big brown eyes and rosy cheeks. It seems she likes pink a lot since she wears everything pink, ribbon and pony-band.

It seems Marina has a passion for cloves. (?)

KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

'Maria' has a very long, lush and straight bout of dark brown hair (depicted as black in manga illustrations) with very straightly-cut bangs just past eyebrow level, and hair ends cut in the same fashion around her hip area. While her eyes are an amber shade in colored manga illustrations, they are shown as a darker shade of brown in the anime.
She wears a lilac-colored rendition of the female police officer uniform, both prior to and post transition, which very much resembles the type worn by Reiko . It includes a long-sleeved coat with lapels, white undershirt with dark blue tie, a short skirt (above knee length) and matching lilac shoes plus official hat. Her summer uniform has T-shirt style sleeves instead of long sleeves.
The fact that Maria is a boy in the anime series is not picked up by various characters, due in part to his convincing physique, facial features, and choice of clothing, as well as feminine mannerisms and way of speaking. It is only in circumstances where a male character is accidentally or forcefully made to make contact with his nether regions, whereupon they discover his pre-operative genital status. In his introductory anime appearance, he reveals to Ryotsu that his breasts are in fact implants.
In the manga and the anime, Maria is referred to by feminine or neutral pronouns even before her magical genderswap, indicating that she is possibly a trans woman.She refers to herself using "Watashi" (私) who, even if neutral, is mostly used by women.

Maria possesses an extremely feminine and caring personality that, paired with his looks, captivate many men in his presence. She is compassionate among other characters, and is especially fond of Ryotsu, treating him with a more loving and affectionate demeanor compared to other men he encounters. Other things of his interest are cute items,
Before she decided to transition, Maria was previously a number-one kickboxer champion who was serious and diligent in his training with his coach. His skills from this era are still present in Maria, and are most commonly seen where Maria is in self-defense or expressing anger towards another character.
She is easily jealous of women who show interest in Ryotsu, and is always seen hugging him on a frequent basis, making him seem possessive to an extent.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Ohara is the oldest character in the Kameari Kouen-mae Police Box, and is of rather short, bulky stature similar to Ryotsu (though not as able in terms of physical strength, due to his build and age). He sports thick eyebrows (although not as prominent as Ryotsu's) and a short, thick square-shaped mustache. Underneath his hat, he has what is presumed to be a buzzcut hairstyle.
He and Terai are the only police officers in the group to wear the full official police officer attire in the required manner. He wears a blue uniform consisting of pants, a long-sleeve coat to cover his undershirt, a blue police hat and a black-tie matching his black shoes. Upon arrival at the Police Box in the morning, he is often seen carrying a brown satchel.

Although it is assumed that he is of short temper after having to frequently deal with Ryotsu's antics, Ohara is in actuality modest and considerate in character, as well as strict and serious on occasions where he needs to be. A diligent worker in his own right, Ohara only wants to make sure that he is able to keep the Police Box in working order so as to avoid conflicts with the Chief of Police or fraying his own dignity in the sight of other superiors, particularly when large-scale events are happening. He comes to Hashutsujho by bus and train.
He is representative of a typical Japanese man of his own age; cultured in the local ways of life, but a little unfamiliar where modern technology and fads are concerned (sometimes to the embarrassment of other characters). Ohara shows interest in Kendo, Judo, Shogi, calligraphy, bonsai maintenance, local cuisine and ancient Japanese theater plays, all of which keep him both level-headed and entertained outside work duties.

Ohara yelling 'Baka Mo-n!' to Ryotsu.
Ohara is notorious for always scolding and venting his anger to Ryotsu, who never shows restraint from wandering off to do other activities irrelevant to police work. In both the manga and anime series, he is most famous for yelling out his quote, "Baka mon!" ("バカモン!," roughly translated to mean "You idiot!"), when faced with another one of Ryotsu's pathetic excuses for not engaging in proper tasks.
There have been notable times, in contrast, where Ohara views Ryotsu as a son of his own as a result of constantly trying to teach him to do good over bad, and does on occasion show empathy for him, especially in circumstances where Ryotsu shows evidence of doing hard work that earns his pride.

Caught in the act.

Ohara has been shown to have a more whimsical side to him, as seen in the anime. This is especially prevalent in the episode which debuted Detective's Moonlight and Venus of the Special Detectives Unit. Ohara at one point is seen blushing as he visualizes himself cross-dressing and acting like a stereotypical schoolgirl. At the middle of the episode, it is seen that he ends up wearing the schoolgirl's uniform, though he was not required to do so.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Tonda is a slightly chubby man of average height who sports dark brown curly hair and a matching-colour moustache. He also possesses eyebrows which are almost as thick and as curved as Ryotsu's own, but have a gap above the nose which separates them apart. His uniform consists of a blue coat, white undershirt, black tie, blue pants and black shoes.
It appears to be a habit for Shocho to be seen with his hands clasped behind his back, usually whilst standing up or in conversation with a colleague in his office, and possibly serves as a means of him securing his image and composure due to his high position in the Katsushika Police HQ.
In the anime series, his voice is likely to be considered the deepest and most distinguishable out of the rest of the other Katsushika police officers.

As a person, Tonda is of a rather mild, caring and understanding personality. Although he is ranked within the highest position of the Katsushika Police HQ, Tonda gives his orders with a calm but serious manner and appears to get on well with practically all of his subordinates. The times where Tonda reveals his angry side tend to occur in circumstances where any of his subordinates such as Ryotsu is caught responsible for causing mass damage or tarnation of the police force's reputation.
He is in a way quite carefree in character and gullible to an extent, going so far as to risk doing activities such as reading men's magazines in his office during work hours, amongst others; he has been caught off-guard in the midst of these sorts of activities numerous times by colleagues simply walking into his office, often to his sudden embarrassment or their surprise.

Haya has straight black hair with bangs which are parted away from the centre, each lock curving to both the left and right side. Locks of hair by her face are straightly cut at approximately chin level, and the rest of her hair reaches her back (possibly past shoulder-length). most occasions, she can be seen with her hair kept up on a high ponytail, or in a bun if wearing traditional Japanese clothing (i.e. a kimono). in a She has brown eyes.
While 'normal' colour illustrations depict Haya in blue police officer uniform, 'alternative colourings' of her hair and uniform show her with her hair coloured blonde with a lime green-coloured uniform. In both cases, her uniform includes a coat, white undershirt with red tie, skirt and flats/pumps for shoes. She wears a matching hat which is identical to Maria 's own from the manga.

Haya was born and raised from a highly auspicious and high-status Bushido (warrior) family from the Kyoto province. Due to this particular background of hers, she was raised under a highly strict atmosphere largely by the aid of her intimidating and conservative father - as a result, she comes across as very well-mannered, graceful and knowledgeable. However, she is not at all as intimidating as her father, and gets on very well with her friends and colleagues.
She has been taught archery since childhood, and excels highly in the sport. Haya additionally is well-versed in a wide expanse of Japanese customs and does not seem to be seen as often engaging in events relative to modern trends. As a result, she has become an object of interest for many male police officers in the Katsushika Police Headquarters; Ryotsu and Bucho are both notable admirers of her supposed delicate and intelligent nature.

Honda appears to be a rather young man of tall and slightly skinny build. He sports a black pompadour that is said to have been kept since his days as leader in his biker gang. He carries with him a signature posture which is most apparent in the anime; he keeps both of his clenched fists beneath his chin with elbows outward, knees together with feet pointed inward further apart from each other , and seems to lean or crouch forward slightly. All of these traits combine to give an impression of somebody with a shy or timid demeanor.
He wears the uniform assigned for officers riding motorcycles in the series; long blue pants with a red line running down on either side, a blue long-sleeved protective coat (with his sleeves kept rolled up above the forearm similar in fashion to Ryotsu ), a white undershirt, a pair of gloves (kept in a white utility belt around his waist, but almost never worn), his signature yellow neckerchief (tie ends either kept to the side or behind his neck) and a pair of long black motorcycle boots (which are shortened in size in the anime). On occasion, he wears his helmet while in the Police Box.
For the majority of the time, Honda is portrayed as a person who is as normal as any other regular character. The only main observation is in his body language which can tend to be interpreted as effeminate, matching his normal personality.
When he climbs atop a motorcycle, however, his appearance changes to that of a more intimidating man, especially recognisable in his face. His voice becomes significantly deeper, and his speaking style switches to one which is more vulgar and rough.

Honda is a very modest, sensitive and somewhat shy young man whose feelings are easy to hurt. He can turn into a crybaby over any emotionally-moving or traumatising experience, which sometimes puts Ryotsu off, but earns the empathy of other characters. The fact that he has had to endure over 180 failed attempts at winning a girlfriend may be one of the reasons behind his insecure and apparent low self-esteem, resulting in him having to depend on others in pushing him forward regardless. This chain of failure has stopped, however, since meeting current girlfriend Nana Otohime , or Nana-chan . He has a rather girlish personality in terms of the way he sometimes talks and reacts, alongside his personal interests. He has a notable fear of the dark, dogs, snakes and ghostly figures.

A normal Honda and Ryotsu walking together in the anime.

During his free time, Honda shows interest in reading shojo (girls') manga, J-pop/K-pop idols, cosplaying and bike-riding. He is also said to be skilled in cooking and drawing. There are times outside work hours when Ryotsu pulls him in to act as a sort of sidekick for his many moneygrubbing schemes; no matter how much restraint he would show against his requests, Honda is always forced into helping Ryotsu despite any pleas to opt out, and consequently ends up having to accept part of the blame at the end in numerous occasions. Despite the difficult times that occur, the two are always seen in good company with each other and appear to be best friends.
When he switches to his more intimidating masculine motorcycle alter-ego, on the other hand, Honda becomes absolutely fearless and ruthless toward criminals on the road, and doesn't hesitate to jump onto cars in traffic jams when deemed necessary to catching crooks on the run. His amazing expertise in motorbike-riding since the days in his biker gang some time ago before entering the police force is what helps him make plenty of arrests in his job. His whole family are also victim to this split-personality disorder, transforming their own personality when in contact with some object which is of their interest (see "Relationships" below).


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Ryoutsu is a middle-aged man of a rather short but robust stature, who sports a crew-cut hairstyle and noticeably thick bouts of body hair, plus visible stubble. His similarly extra thick and curvy 'm'-shaped unibrow is his most famed asset, and serves as the signature image associated with Kochikame in general due to its uniqueness and familiarity with local Japanese fans.
While on duty, he is always depicted wearing his blue police officer uniform, i.e. blue pants and coat which cover his white buttoned shirt underneath, plus a black tie. Unlike, most other police officers from the series who wear the same uniform as he, Ryotsu keeps his sleeves rolled up to just above the forearm, similar in fashion to Honda . He also has the tendency to wear wooden sandals (called 'geta') whilst at work, but is able to run at rather tenaciously fast speeds with them on (which may, or may not be, the reason as to why he does not wear black shoes).
In his spare time, Ryotsu commonly wears shirts and long pants when out with the others. Holiday episodes set in summer or beach holiday spots usually have him wearing an island shirt with shorts, sunglasses, and sandals. When in the midst of intense physical work, he appears to favor wearing white sleeveless tops and jeans or trousers, and may sometimes choose to go shirtless.

Ryotsu tends to adopt a rather lazy state of disinterest while on duty at the Police Box; instead of putting effort into his patrol or office duties, he is often seen resorting to creating plastic models ( puramo ), playing with toys and video games or sleeping on the job instead. It is usually while he is in the middle of any of these activities, however, that Bucho catches him off-guard and consecutively scolds him for disobeying orders.

As a result of being brought up in a poor family background, Ryotsu has developed a sort of aggressive attitude towards means by which to properly invest, save and spend money in current affairs, aside of his illegal moneymaking schemes. He is fond and takes pride in the Japanese culture and lifestyle; he is skilled at a number of traditional games and activities which include Shogi, Beegoma and Kendo.
Ryotsu resides in the Niconico (Smiley) Hostel apartment block, which is home to primarily single male tenants and police officers from the Katsushika Police HQ. He commutes to the Police Box from this location via his white bicycle named Chidori, more often than not arriving late in the morning, to Bucho's constant annoyance.

Ryotsu's Entertainment Stall. A true catalyst of his greed and scheming for money. This was eventually expanded into a multi-story stall that was then converted into a train of multiple stalls. (episode 44)

He shows larger preferences for indulging in leisure activities inclusive of Pachinko, gambling, plastic model construction, video gaming and visiting cabaret clubs, especially whilst on patrol duty. But his largest desire above all is for money, and will go to great extents just to earn big cash by investing in on potentially profiting fads and scams just for his benefit. Almost all of these, in the end, are never able to reach a pleasant conclusion. There will always be some form of major damage or tarnished reputation of the police force.
There are times when Roytsu shows great in-depth knowledge and understanding of current fads or situations in the business, sports, culture, or leisure industry, and can sometimes go into deep discussions with colleagues Nakagawa and Reiko regarding these subjects. The topics always cover modern trends and fads in line with current real-life trends and fads, inclusive of smartphone apps and Playstation games in recent manga volumes. Ryotsu is especially knowledgeable in topics relative to the Japanese lifestyle he was raised in, which contrast the more globally-experienced perspectives of Nakagawa and Reiko.
Ryotsu is unable to speak any other language other than Japanese, and seems to show little concern over this. He understands only little bits of broken English, particularly where speaking foreign characters are concerned. He does, however, make occasional mentions of typical English conversational phrases such as 'thank you' and 'no problem' in both the manga and anime to other characters. Reliance is put onto both Nakagawa and Reiko for translating between languages.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Nakagawa is portrayed as the good-looking rich boy, acting as a male counterpart to his colleague Reiko . He has sideswept brown hair that reaches his neck at the back, and dark blue eyes in the anime series. In the manga series, he is typically depicted as having no prominent iris, making his eye colour appear to be black as a result.
In stark contrast to other police officers in the series (with the exception of Reiko), Nakagawa wears an expensive yellow uniform that was specially designed for him by Pierre-Cardin which includes pants and a coat that covers his white undershirt. In the manga series, his uniform is depicted with pinstripe designs on all pieces of clothing, including his matching hat (which is never worn in the anime).
His tie in the manga series is known to change in design and style between different stories. Within the anime, however, his tie remains in the same pattern throughout each episode. The tie is coloured red with a couple of black diagonal stripes.
Like other characters in the series, the uniform design is prone to change depending on the season in which the episode takes place. In summer months, he wears a short-sleeved rendition of the uniform which requires no undershirt or tie. This is the case for his uniform in both the manga and anime series.

Very even-tempered and co-operative in character, Nakagawa is portrayed as the epitome of an ideal worker who shows commitment and effort in his job, much to the satisfaction of Bucho , while working at the Police Box. Like Reiko, he is often finding himself having to argue with Ryotsu over controversial or potentially dangerous schemes, which never work in influencing the latter to stop.
Like Reiko, he is a mix of both Japanese and French, and has undergone high-class education prior to working in the Police Box. He shows ample intelligence in topics mainly concerning business and finance, as his father is the CEO of the Nakagawa Corporation. He is heir to an extremely large brand that encompasses various markets in the business sector, and is the primary reason behind his extreme wealth. His common mode of transport is via his bright red Ferrari.
A humorous note regarding Nakagawa's wealth would be his ability to order a variety of inane things, such as ice from Fiji, and have it quickly delivered (usually by helicopter) to wherever he so desires.
Due to his wealth, Nakagawa lives in his family's mansion, though it would be better to describe it as an extravagant palace, filled with inane luxuries and teaming with servants ready to do Nakagawa's bidding. It has been seen multiple times to be a popular party venue, with both the influential and wealthy in attendance. Due to his family being extremely busy, it would appear that Nakagawa is the sole resident of his estate.
Nakagawa has shown bouts of sadness regarding the fact that he is almost never in touch with his family due to their extremely busy work schedules, and has at least once gone onto the verge of insanity after experiencing many failed attempts to reunite with his father, which is explored in an anime episode of its own.
Nakagawa is occasionally depicted to have an insane alto-eager side to him that only appears in circumstances where he encounters consecutive failures or heavy bouts of alcohol; although rare, this line of behavior is what adds the extra quirk to his otherwise 'too-normal' personality that he always conveys.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Totsuka bears slight resemblance to that of a yakuza member, as he possesses a scar which runs down a side of his face, a buzzcut hairstyle, and a tattoo on his back. His uniform consists of a blue coat, white undershirt, blue pants and black shoes. He is seen with shortened sleeves, no tie and flip-flops on days set in the summer period.

It appeared that Totsuka and Ryotsu had an amicable friendship during the early chapters of Kochikame. He was notably Ryotsu' main partner at the beginning of the series, until Keiichi Nakagawa was introduced. Following Totsuka's absence from the Police Box, however, it was shown in a character-comeback chapter from Volume 155 that the two acted coldly with one another and were not even able to begin a conversation together.

Komachi has purple hair that is cut short, with a few locks that hang over her forehead similar in fashion to bangs, and black eyes. In comparison to her colleague and friend Naoko, her voice is higher between the two.
She wears the female police officer uniform, which include a blue long-sleeved coat, white undershirt with black tie, a short skirt above knee-length) the same shade as her coat, a thick green-coloured strap with two white stripes wrapped on her upper arm and black socks. In episodes taking place during summer, the long-sleeved version of her coat is switched to one with T-shirt style sleeves.
Komachi was born on February 21st.

Komachi acts as the female leader within the group of policewomen in the Katsushika police headquarters, and bears with her a more energetic and eccentric personality. At times, she has also shown to be rather hot-headed in certain situations, especially when dealing with Ryotsu. She is always finding some way to outdo or upstage Ryotsu by engaging in competitive challenges against him, depending on the event concerned in the episode.
Komachi playing kick-the-can in episode 131.

As a result of being raised in the countryside, and having quite an active childhood, Komachi is well versed in the lore and culture of her hometown. This can especially be seen when she's able to face off against Ryotsu as an equal, when it comes to the various competitions the two have between each other. A memorable example of this was when the two challenged each other in a game of "kick-the-can" in regards to the police district's retreat choice, resulting in Ryotsu being severely injured in the legs and groin by Komachi's deception.

Despite being born and raised in Tohoku, as well as being a bit of a tomboy in her youth, her origins are not apparently obvious when observing Komachi's voice or mannerisms. However, this has been known to slip in times of extreme pressure. Komachi has been known to exhibit superhuman athleticism and strength, for someone of her stature.

This is most often seen when Ryotsu usurps or sabotages Komachi's plans, most notably during the case of the latter trying to pass off Nakagawa as her boyfriend. She has been known to be able to heft and (quite accurately) throw a rather sturdy desk, as well as being able to carry her mini-patrol car above her head, presumably to inflict additional injury to Ryotsu. In addition, certain incentives has been known to draw out her superhuman nature, such as a stylish watch during the Police Athletic Competitions. She takes interest in watching soccer and being a spectator in live matches.

Matoi has a dark shade of brown hair kept into a high short ponytail, bangs made up of five locks of hair with longer locks kept by the left and right sides of her face, and brown eyes. In comparison to most other female characters, her eyebrows are only slightly thicker and are shaped to arch a bit higher.
She can most often be seen wearing her police uniform consisting of a white button-up shirt and red tie, and either a dark blue or black skirt. In the anime series, she is more likely to be seen to wear the blue suit and skirt that matches the style worn by other policewomen from the Katsushika Police HQ.

Matoi is considerably energetic in nature, and seems to stand out from other female colleagues in that she apparently seems to have a more tomboyish approach to things; she is more outspoken in her views, and can even become as short-tempered as Ryotsu, but argues with rational thoughts and decisions.
She is well-versed in the Japanese culture; apparently, much more so than Ryotsu himself, alongside Lemon . Matoi is an avid supporter of festivals that occur in her hometown of Asakusa in Tokyo, and is the daughter of a sushi shop (Chō Kanda Sushi (超神田寿司)) owner. She acts as one of the waitresses in the restaurant, and is additionally knowledgeable in the sorts of dishes that are served.

Unlike the majority of other characters in Kochikame who possess natural hair colours, Nana has a shade of blue-green/aquamarine coloured hair. It is kept as a short bob with bangs consisting of multiple locks of hair at equal length which cover her (still-visible) eyebrows. She also has blue eyes in the manga series, but what are possibly olive-green or hazel-coloured eyes in the anime.

Nana is feminine and compassionate in character, and to an extent quite sensitive. But she is able to better take care of her emotions, compared to her boyfriend Honda , who seems to become easily distressed emotionally.
Other than biking, she shows a great love for drawing anime, which is evident from the fact that she is a manga author who works under her own pen name.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Naoko has a dark shade of red-tinged brown hair that is always kept tied up into a ponytail, and light gray eyes. In comparison to her friend Komachi, her skin tone is slightly more tanned. Naoko's voice however is slightly lower than that of Komachi's.
She wears the exact same policewoman uniform as Komachi and the majority of others from the Katsushika Police HQ.

Naoko's personality does not seem to differ by a large amount in comparison to her friend Komachi, with whom she is always seen in the whole of the anime series.
During the episode, "Naoko's Odd Day", much is revealed about her personality. She is shown to have at least a fairly decent grasp of English, meeting with a friend from America and conversing in the language. Naoko is also shown to be incredibly caring, and persistent, preventing her brother Marui from being involved in a gang by taking time off work to go to her hometown of Yokohama and even putting her own personal safety in jeopardy while confronting aforementioned hooligans.
She resides in the policewoman's dorm along with Komachi and several of the younger policewoman.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Higurashi is a man of average height with facial features that make him appear to always seem sleepy, i.e. his eyes are always half-closed (when awake) or closed (when asleep). His hair is depicted as somewhat scruffy or untidy, and has been depicted as black in the manga but dark brown in the anime.
Whilst sleeping, Higuashi continually wears the same set of light yellow-coloured long-sleeved pinstripe pajamas which are not changed until the day he is woken up and works at the police box. His uniform is the same as those of his Police Box colleagues; blue coat, white undershirt, black tie, blue pants and black shoes.

Higurashi sleeps for four straight years, and only wakes up for one single day, which is always during the operation of the Summer Olympics. He appears to be in continual employment with the police force due to the fact that he possesses a supreme psychological ability to mind-read the location of wanted criminals on a world-wide scale upon being shown their profiles, a skill which has helped contribute to a record-high number of arrests in the space of one day that outnumbers technically any other police officer in the force. As a result, he is highly valued by members from the Katsushika Police Headquarters.
If made to wake up at any time outside the current Summer Olympics, Higurashi becomes intensely angry and progressively more prone to causing violent outbreaks in the city.
Some of his interests include volleyball and chemistry; his love for chemistry has been shown to go to the extent of collecting different assortments of plants, medicinal drugs and prehistoric living organisms in his room which he appears to be capable of experimenting with, enlarging them in size.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Reiko is portrayed as the main female beauty in the series, alongside her male counterpart Nakagawa and fellow colleague Maria. She has long, blonde hair that reaches her hips, bangs and eyes that have been portrayed as both blue in the manga and a shade of amber in the anime. She is rather tall and has distinctly large breasts which are especially emphasized in the manga series, and are her feature assets.
When working at the Police Box, she wears her signature pink uniform specially designed for her, which consist of a short skirt and coat with long sleeves. In the manga series, her cleavage is often visible and sometimes become a point of focus for certain suggestive scenes. The emphasis on her breast size and cleavage in clothing are toned down for the anime series.
In her free time, she can be seen wearing expensive, lavish or otherwise fashionable clothes when out with other characters, sometimes of an attention-catching nature. She is also seen more often during these times sporting different hairstyles, such as pigtails or bobs, depending the occasion. Like other characters, her sleeves on her uniform are cut down to T-shirt size in episodes set in summer months.

Reiko is well-known as the pleasant and sympathetic character who is willing to help others in need and offer advice, alongside her busty and blonde appearance. While in the Police Box, she is known to make tea for the others when not assigned with a particular task. Along with Nakagawa, she is often having to argue with Ryotsu over controversial topics or ideas that are likely to get him into trouble; although this is out of care and consideration for Ryotsu, neither Reiko nor Nakagawa's rebuttals are efficient enough to stop him from doing what he wants to do.
Reiko is a mix of both Japanese and French parents, which would mean that she is Eurasian; having lived in France prior to arriving in Japan, she has received high-class education and is especially skilled in cooking, ballet, music (the violin and piano in particular) and sports. She is in a way a visual representation of a female character who bears both beauty and brains in one.
She appears to show little interest in pursuing men, while on the other hand a lot of men have attempted to win her as a result of her attractiveness and beauty.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

Terai appears as a chub middle-aged man with a height similar to Bucho's own. His hair is curly and dark brown in colour, and he has no prominent eye colour other than black. He wears his iconic pair of circular glasses which hide his eyes in the manga (often), but are revealed throughout the course of the anime series.
He wears his uniform in the same fashion as Bucho, which includes a blue suit with white undershirt, blue pants, black tie and black shoes. His sleeves are shortened to T-shirt length in episodes set during summer.

Terai seems to be the character in the Police Box who displays the most 'neutral' personality; he is pretty much down-to-earth, takes on a realistic view on matters at hand and doesn't apparently possess any strange outstanding flaws in personality or appearance (comparable to Ryotsu 's level of greed, Nakagawa / Reiko 's extreme wealth or Bucho 's constant bouts of anger). He is however, sensitive to an extent and at times indecisive when under pressure.
He is considered one of the main characters in the anime, and is shown to be the most 'normal' in his actions and behaviour, such as getting on with his work and engaging in casual conversation with the others in the Police Box. On occasion he has been known to bring in small snacks or items of interest for his colleagues to see.
It is suggested in the manga that he is fond of hobbies including oil painting and calligraphy. Since he travels to the Police Box daily by train, he is also knowledgeable of the rail system and how it operates.


KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops

During and following her debut appearance in volume 2 of the manga, Youko appeared as a 16 year-old schoolgirl having long straight hair, presumed to be either dark brown or black in colour (the former colour being the shade used in her anime appearance, albeit shorter in length). Her first depiction shows her wearing a long-sleeved shirt and skirt used for school. Many of her later appearances in other volumes depict her wearing similar types of casual clothing and the same hairstyle.
She is later appointed into the Katsushika police force later in the manga, and is presumed to wear the identical type of uniform adopted by the policewomen of the area.

Youko appears to portray herself as a typical teenage Japanese girl, with a mild and kind temperament. She was often seen in her prominent manga appearances talking amongst Ryotsu and Nakagawa during their patrol duties, offering her own insight and opinions based on her age and gender which contrast those of the other two characters. She seems to have had a genuine interest in Ryotsu for his personality and enjoys spending time with him.
She is the daughter of the tobacco shop owner which Ryotsu used to frequently visit, prior to giving up the habit in a later manga chapter. Youko sometimes takes hold of the stand while others are off-duty (seen in the anime episode which she stars in).
Youko reaches adult age at one point in the manga, and is portrayed such for her anime appearance where the current situation is being discussed (as her former teenage self is depicted during the flashback segments). According to her anime appearance, she has twin sons and a husband who is apparently too busy to be able to meet her regularly.
