CHARACTER
Kaito Yashio
Third-year student at Central Tanegashima High and the main character of the series. He's the second half of the Robot Research Club. His lackluster, indifferent attitude results in people considering him unreliable. A dedicated fighting game otaku who is currently ranked fifth in the world in Mobile Battler Gunvarrel Kill-Ballad ONLINE (KB), a robot fighting game. His goal is to become #1 in KB. Despite being part of Robot Club and playing KB, he has zero interest in robots.
The only time he gets serious is during a competition. Whenever anyone asks for a favor, he childishly demands they beat him in a match of KB first.
His attitude drastically changes when it's about winning; he hates to lose. His childhood dream is to become an astronaut.
Akiho Senomiya
Third-year student at Central Tanegashima High, president of the Robot Research Club and Kaito's childhood friend. She is the positive, hyper, and reckless type who often gets carried away. Her goal is to finish the giant robot that her older sister Misaki Senomiya, who founded the Robot Research Club, created. She works hard to reach her goal.
She's obsessed with a character from a famous robot anime and quotes him all the time, putting on a pair of red-framed glasses whenever she does so. However, her eyesight is totally fine.
Itaru Hashida
An active otaku addicted to moe in both its 2D and 3D forms. His nickname is Daru.
His imagination runs a bit wild and he isn't scared to talk to girls, having strong communication skills though he sometimes speaks in dirty jokes and internet slang. He's friendly with everyone, though he never shows his real self.
Even though he jokes around, he actively helps people whenever he can. Deep down, he loves his beautiful wife and his daughter, who's about to turn three. He complains a lot, but he's the type who can't say no when someone asks nicely. He spends his days as a phenomenal hacker in Tokyo known online by the famous pseudonym: "DaSH (Daru the Super Hacker)." He claims he's just visiting Tanegashima as a tourist, but in reality...
Subaru Hidaka
Second-year student at Central Tanegashima High. His overconfidence and vast knowledge of robot science makes him act arrogantly even to his elders. He has many fan girls thanks to his handsome looks and cool demeanor, but due to his stoic personality he is not used to interacting with girls.
He bumps heads with Akiho often as she loves Gunvarrel-type robots and he prefers realistic robots. He also has a tense relationship with his father, who hates robotics.
Contrary to his cool demeanor, when he gets nervous he starts sweating and slurring his speech.
Junna Daitoku
Third-year student at Central Tanegashima High. A cute, puppy-like karate girl. While cowardly and easily teary-eyed, she has the inner strength to care for her whole family by herself. She's a hard worker, but her self-doubt has held her back from obtaining a black belt. She has never won a single official match.
She likes urban legends and collects all sorts of rumors about them. Sometimes she investigates urban legends herself, sneaking out to locations where they're said to occur. However, she cannot handle occultic stories and is terrified of ghost stories.
She is always in need of sleep due to cooking breakfast, lunch, and doing house work late into the night for her family. If she's not careful, she can fall asleep anywhere.
Frau Koujiro
A negative, bad-mannered, shut-in otaku who uses outdated internet lingo IRL. She's a programmer who created Mobile Battler Gunvarrel Kill-Ballad ONLINE, a robot fighting game which boasts over 20 million users. She meets Kaito through KB, but otherwise has no interest in human interactions. She doesn't even try to listen to people unless they grab her interest.
She likes fantasizing about boys' love and reads old doujinshi while creepily laughing.
Airi
A tidy and proud little girl. The younger sister-type, she tends to be very proper yet still has an innocent childishness. She calls Kaito "Big Brother" and cherishes him. She doesn't know how to doubt others and sulks when she's treated like a child.
Sometimes her personality seems to mysteriously change and she becomes emotionless. She appears to have a deep connection to the Kimijima Reports.
Nae Tennouji
A researcher on a long-term business trip from JAXA Chofu Space Center to Tanegashima Space Center (TNSC).
