Karakter & Staf — Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad

Yoshiyuki Taira

Utama

Male

The first recruited member of BECK, Taira is the bassist, and the most talented band member next to Ryusuke. He plays Music Man StingRay bass. His attitude may sometimes come off as uncaring. He has been seen working as a traffic officer. As the story progresses, we learn that his father was a jazz musician that left him and his mother when he was young.

Kenji Nojima

Yukio Tanaka

Utama

Male

The main character, the series follows his rapid development from living an average life to becoming an outstanding guitarist. Being a weak individual lacking an authoritative presence , he cannot help but let others push him around, a possible metaphoric stereotype on the very proper and manner conscious Japanese society. Recruited as the last member of BECK, he serves as the second guitarist and vocalist, and has a very beautiful voice that is mostly used for Beck's slower songs. He owns a Fender Telecaster.

Main vocalist for BECK, he is the key member that Ryusuke needed to bring Taira into the band. His attitude, style, and appearance was based on Zack De La Rocha from Rage Against The Machine and compared to Koyuki, his voice is more punk and rock oriented, like the majority of the band's songs. He also named the band Beck after staring at Ryusuke's dog for a few moments. He also tends to pick his nose.
