Keitaro Urashima- Keitaro is the karinrin(manager) of the Hinata Inn. He made a promise to get into Tokyo University with a girl when he was 5 years old and has been trying to keep that promise. He feels he should fulfill his promise to the girl even though he can't even remember her name. When he becomes karinrin, he begins to fall in love with Narusegawa. He gets beat up by everybody and is called a pervert (he really is not) because he always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Naru Narusegawa- Naru is also trying to get into Tokyo University because of a promise similar to Keitaro's. She fell in love with Seta when she was young and was being tutored by him. Deep down she really loves Keitaro even though all she gives him is pain. Kitsune is one of her best friends.
Konno Mitsune "Kitsune"- Kitsune is a fun-loving girl who also loves to drink. She also fell in love with Seta when she was being tutored along with Naru. She sometimes causes trouble just because she wants to have fun. She really wants Naru and Keitaro to be together and she always tries to make that happen.
Motoko Aoyama- Motoko first meets Keitaro in episode 3. She objects to having him as the karinrin of their dormitory. And she lets Keitaro know it with the help of her sword. She believes that men make women weak because of something that happened to her sister during her childhood. Despite being strong and having good swordsmanship skill, she is scared of turtles and hates Tama.
Otohime Mutsumi- Otohime is like Keitaro because she has also tried to get into Tokyo University for 3 years. Unlike Keitaro, she is not dumb. She could easily pass but she always fainted before the test and was taken to the hospital or she forgot to write her name on the it. She helps provide some comic relief for the series because she is sometimes clumsy. She gives Tama to Naru as a present. She also gives both Keitaro and Naru their first kiss. She is thought to be the girl of Keitaro's promises in the last episodes, but she is not.
Kaolla Su- Kaolla is a junior high student along with Shinobu. She is extremely energetic and has a huge appetite. She is a mechanical genius. Most of her inventions bring trouble to Keitaro and other members of the household. She causes mischief along with Sarah and sometimes even Shinobu. When there is a red moon, she may tramsform into her adult form because a part of her wants to become an adult while another part wants to remain as a child. But she eventually returns to normal. Her personality and strange comments on almost everything provides humor to the series
Maehara Shinobu- Shinbou is a sweet and innocent little girl who is very shy. She moved into the Hinatasou when her parents divorced in episode 2. She is a great cook and makes most of the meals for Keitaro and the others. She is the only one of the girls who treats Keitaro with respect. She calls him Urashima-sempai and does not physically abuse him.
Seta Noriyasu- Seta is Naru and Kitsune's former tutor and Sara's adopted father. He is an archeologist and an awesome fighter (he actually defeated Motoko). He employs Keitaro for a short while. He is also a VERY BAD driver. He usually ends up crashing his van and comes out with a bloody face.
Sara McDougal- Sara is Seta's adopted daughter. She likes to beat up on Keitaro and make his life miserable. She is American but she lives with Seta because she doesn't feel at home with her parents. She loves Seta and calls him papa. She does not like anyone who tries to get close to him. While Seta is on archeological trips, Sara stays at the Hinata Inn.
Haruka Urashima- Haruka is Keitaro's aunt. She runs the small shop near the Hinatasou but she occasionally helps out with the cleaning. She usually has a cigarette in her mouth and is dressed like a cleaning lady. But she also has a wardrobe with some really wild dresses that she sometimes lends to the other girls. She prefers to be called Haruka-san and hits Keitaro everytime he calls her "Aunt Haruka" or "old woman". If you've seen the Spring Special, you'll know she's pretty good with a whip.
Mei Narusegawa- Mei is Naru's stepsister. She loves her sister very much and tries to get Naru to quit aiming for Tokyo U and return home with her. She even tries to get Keitaro to fall in love with Mutsumi so Naru would leave. But her plans don't work and she accepts that she can't make Naru change her mind.
Shirai and Haitani- Shirai and Haitani are some of Keitaro's friends. I'm not sure who is who. They always try and encourage Keitaro to get closer to Naru but they usually cause him more problems. The shorter one has an insane crush on Haruka. |
