Black★Rock Shooter

Utama

Female

Height: 163 cm Black★Rock Shooter is the titular character and main protagonist of many projects, including the anime OVA Black★Rock Shooter, the RPG of the same name, the anime series and the manga Black★Rock Shooter Innocent Soul. She was an original concept created by huke who participated in the release of the song "Black★Rock Shooter" by supercell. She is voiced by Kana Hanazawa in the OVA and anime and by Maaya Sakamoto in the PSP game. Her weapons consist of a black-hilted katana later named as Black Blade and a large gun called ★rock Cannon. Black★Rock Shooter is given a personality in the OVA: she is depicted as a calm and collected girl, not speaking at all until her confrontation with Mato. She also does not focus on anything except the most important thing she has to do at the moment. She is shown to be very skilled in fighting. Black★Rock Shooter in the anime seems to be more brutal than any other B★RS incarnation.

Mato Kuroi

Utama

Female

Height: 155 cm Mato takes an interest in and speaks to a girl she sees the first day, Yomi Takanashi. They became best friends. Black★Rock Shooter (OVA): Mato is an innocent and naive first year student in middle school. Outwardly, she is outgoing and excitable, but she is very awkward around people she does not know. Internally, she is sensitive and meek, but eventually learns to gain courage. Black★Rock Shooter (Anime): Mato retains most of her appearance from the OVA, aside from wearing a different, non-seifuku school uniform. The patch of bandage on her right knee is gone, though she now has a bandaid on her right thigh. She is fond of philosophical musings, and often will vaguely say something that she sees (for instance, remarking "blooming" when seeing a patch of flowers) to no one in particular. Saya also describes her as the kind of person who has, until now, never hated anyone or have anyone hate her. Her favorite food is said to be curry. She is very fond of the book Li'l Bird Li'l Bird Colorful Colors and reads it repeatedly.

Yomi Takanashi

Utama

Female

Height: 160 cm Yomi is a gentle, good-natured girl who speaks politely and calmly; she is very mature for her age. Her name literally means "No hawks, where little birds play." She is supposedly a member of a well-to-do family, staying for some time in Germany before moving to Mato's neighborhood. She also revealed that her frequent moving from one place to another has caused her to develop a sort of distant attitude towards others. However, she is prone to having very dark feelings of loneliness and jealousy; she tends to keep these to herself. In the 2012 anime, Yomi's personality is somewhat different in that while she is still calm, reserved, and polite, she is also extremely aloof to the point where she is unwilling to make friends. Part of this is her attachment to Kagari Izuriha, both due to the fact that she blames herself for Kagari's injury and because catering to all of Kagari's demands was initially easier than coping with the mental trauma. Unlike her OVA incarnation, she is more interested in things like art and bracelet making. Like Mato, she likes the book Li'l Bird Colorful Colors.

Strength

Pendukung

Female

Height: 158 cm Strength is Yuu's darken persona in the other world. She wears long black boots similar to Black Rock Shooter's, black spandex and a white flamed embroidered hooded scarf. She has a vertebra like tail with white hair. Her main weapons are her two large black "Ogre Fists" that she wears over her arms and are as big as she is. In the TV series, she gained emotions when she established a connection with Yuu just as she was about to die following a fight with Black Rock Shooter. When Yuu preferred to live in her world than reality, Strength was forced to switch bodies with Yuu, although she doesn't cast a shadow. She inserted false memories of herself into Mato to make it seem like they've been friends for a long time, though she eventually came to like Mato herself. She has the ability to put herself or others into a comatose state, sending their mind into the body of their darken persona. At the series conclusion, she disappears into the wind, returning Yuu to her original body, although she revives later on to continue fighting.

Hiro Kuroi

Mato's little brother. Although the two don't always get along, he considers his sister a good person.

Misaki Kuno

Yuu Koutari

Pendukung

Female

Height:150 cm Black★Rock Shooter (OVA) Yuu has choppy tawny hair and hazel eyes. She is also very short in stature, much more so than Mato or Yomi. She wears the same school uniform as the former and latter. Yuu is excitable and perky; however, she is shown to have a dark side. She is also very possessive of Mato, and has an awkward time whenever she is hanging out with Yomi. Black★Rock Shooter (Anime) Yuu's hair is more combed down, and not as choppy as it was in the anime. She also now wears an orange hairclip on her left side, and wears a school uniform different from her OVA appearance. Similar to her OVA incarnation, she is excitable and perky; she is also eager to tease Mato often. Unlike her OVA incarnation, however, she is perfectly comfortable with the idea of Mato having other friends, and in fact actively teases Mato about her friendship with "her Tiny Bird". She is fond of skipping classes in favor of drinking coffee at the consultation room. Mato notes that she is trying to be mature for some reason, and indeed she takes concern over Mato's well-being. Mato also says that when she knew her in kindergarten, she was excessively more hyper, and often did "weird things". However, this personality is of Strength, who was in Yuu's body in the real world.
