Karakter & Staf — DearS

Takeya Ikuhara

Utama

A hotheaded 17-year-old high school student, and the protagonist of DearS. Takeya is unused to change, which makes his acceptance of the mysterious alien girl Ren all the more difficult (especially due to the fact that Neneko constantly showed him the Alien movies when they were children). But beneath his constant mask of indifference, he has a kind heart. Takeya tends to jump into things headfirst, and waste more time panicking about a problem than solving it. He also seems to lose his temper more often than he should, and as a result, has few close friends.

Kishou Taniyama

Ren Ren Ren Nagusaran Rensia Ruroonren Nakora

Utama

Takeya's devoted DearS, who was found by Takeya after her suspension pod was lost and broke open during transport. Initially, she had no given name, but Takeya dubbed her "Ren" after the first word of her identification number—at which time she "imprinted" upon him. According to DearS law, a slave that chooses a master on her own is seen as having the 'Gift' and is considered sacred. In the DearS language, the word Ren means "zero" thereby making her one of the imperfect "Zero-Numbers," in which was not intended to be revealed to the public. Big-breasted and beautiful, she is a wonder to Takeya and his classmates, but constantly needs to be watched due to her inexperience with human customs and Japanese culture. Ren absorbed the Japanese language in a single night with a pile of textbooks and dictionaries from which Takeya planned to teach her. Her favorite food is melon bread, for which she harbors a ravenous appetite.

Ai Shimizu

Nia

Pendukung

Xaki's somewhat catlike apprentice. She is quite a flake, and often forgets her assignments. As seen in some parts of the anime, she is also quite klutzy, but agile when she needs to be. She manages to befriend both Takeya and his little sister Natsuki. She always ends her sentences with her trademark nonsense syllable "nii".

Yukari Tamura

Hirofumi Nonaka

Pendukung

The playboy of Koharu High School. When Takeya's actions put Ren in doubt of his feelings for her, Hiro tries to seduce her away from her master. Even when he admits to "really liking" Ren, (the closest he'll ever admit to loving someone), Ren still only thinks of him as a friend.

Junichi Suwabe

Xaki

Pendukung

The "Biter" sent by the DearS colony to retrieve Ren. Unlike the other Dears, he is tall and muscular, and apparently quite versed in hand-to-hand combat. He is Nia's master.

Hiroaki Hirata

Thanast Useim Ruki Miu Sia Nostal Ren Naguregyug

Pendukung

The "official" DearS exchange student to Takeya's high school, and Ren's main rival. She was seen as a "fake" upon arrival, due to an enrollment mix-up with Ren entering the school. Eventually, she took it upon herself to train Ren to become a better Dears. This tutoring has the unpredicted side-effect of her seemingly developing feelings for Takeya. She initially mistakes this as the "Gift", though she later realizes that she was experiencing love. Miu has a bit of a tragic past when she was younger, when her former master was brutally murdered and she was unable to do anything to save him, despite her best efforts.

Mai Nakahara

Khi

Pendukung

A male DearS exchange student who goes to the same school as Takeya's sister Natsuki. He is something of a black sheep amongst the DearS colony and is generally soft-spoken, and perhaps for that reason is sent on assignments to clear up various mix-ups and solve sensitive DearS-related matters, including bearing witness to a duel and retrieving the forgetful Nia from Takeya Ikuhara's apartment.

Miyuki Sawashiro

Mitsuka Yoshimine

Pendukung

The main characters' knockout teacher, Mitsuka is both intelligent and resourceful. She is also a shameless exhibitionist who spends more time conniving to "show off" to her students than she does teaching them English. Mitsuka has a habit of popping up when it is least convenient to Takeya and company, turning normal conversations into overly embarrassing situations,usually by mistaking most things for sexual acts and orgys. At times though, she does show surprising insight concerning the relationships of others, especially between Ren and Takeya.

Kikuko Inoue

Hikorou Oikawa

Pendukung

A male friend of Takeya's—though apart from being in the same class, the two have little in common. The #1 member of the "DearS Love Club", Oihiko is extremely interested in DearS, particularly female ones; he harbors an especially deep infatuation with Ren. Though goofy and more than a little shallow, at heart he remains a decent young man.

Kappei Yamaguchi

Neneko Izumi

Pendukung

Takeya's childhood friend. Incidentally, his landlord is also her father. Despite their constant bickering, the two are best friends, having known one another since childhood. Neneko generally serves as the balance and common sense of the duo, and often shows up during difficult situations that Takeya is too alarmed about to solve. She helps him out of tough times so often, in fact, that one wonders how he would ever get along without her. At the end of the manga, she reveals that she will be going to America to study fashion design. Near the end of the book she admits she has "unrequited love for Takeya", but she had to let him go. She also says she is unable to become Takeya's bride when they are in the classroom talking about their goals in life. (Source: Wikipedia)

Chiwa Saitou

Rubi

Pendukung

The dominatrix-like "Barker" and second in command of the DearS colony. She is very loyal to and obeys Fina.

Megumi Toyoguchi

Harumi Ikuhara

Pendukung

Takeya's stepmother, and one of the few people who can keep the rambunctious Natsuki in line; she taught Natsuki all of the techniques that she uses to beat her big brother up with, or so it appears. It is also implied that Takeya and Harumi could have fallen in love but before Takeya can say these words Harumi sticks a cherry tomato in his mouth and says "it doesn't matter now I am your mother".(Another indication was when Takeya turned to Neneko in panic as Ren was prepared to leave the Earth, she stated that Harumi dumped him) Harumi is a truly funny character with her own "personal attacks", such as the "Harumi-driver".

Mariko Suzuki

Natsuki Ikuhara

Pendukung

Female

Takeya's little sister, who has been away overseas. She cozies up to Ren at first, but after hearing Ren refer to herself as Takeya's "slave", she starts to hate Ren, and pummels her big brother for "being a pervert". This is a significant change from the stereotypical "cute little sister" character prevalent in anime.

Ryouko Shintani

B-Ko

Pendukung

Akemi Satou

Uchimura

Eri Oono

China

Pendukung

China is a young DearS who, just like Ren, is one of the "Zero Numbers." She has been put in charge of retrieving another "Zero Number" known as "Sample A2." She makes a small appearance at the end of the anime in the final episode.
