Karakter & Staf

Aria

Utama

Female

Height: 139 cm One of the twelve sisters in Sister Princess, Aria is a very soft-spoken and shy girl. Due to her timid nature, she tends to cry upon the slightest trouble, as well as utter the phrase “kusu”, in hopes that her beloved brother will come ‘save the day’ for her. According to the creators, she originates from France. Her elegant dressing of frills and lace is a further emphasis on that. She is extremely fond of cute things (animal plushies), sweets, and especially parfait. Aria has also been shown to possess many child-like qualities; such as a vivid imagination of the things around her, the referring to herself in third-person, and to speak in an awkwardly slow fashion. All twelve sisters has a unique way of calling their brother, and Aria addresses him as Nii-ya (兄や), which is perhaps the most childish way to call brother.

Nana Mizuki

Kaho

Utama

Female

Height: 143 cm Very energetic and always striving to do her best, the role of being a cheerleader suits Kaho very well. She always encourages both herself and everyone around her. Although a bit clumsy at times, this is a unique characteristic that makes her very adorable, as she usually brushes off a little accident with a giggle and a smile. She shows the greatest amount of enthusiasm when cheering for her big brother. Sometimes she herself needs a little bit of encouragement, especially when personal problems arise that affect her own self-esteem. Her big brother being with her at just the right time always helps to bring back her positive energy. Kaho enjoys flower gardening. In both Season 1 and RePure Season 2, you notice that she takes great pride in the flowers that she plants for Wataru, and hopes that they can eventually create their own beautiful flower garden together.

Hisayo Mochizuki

Sakuya

Utama

Female

Height: 159 cm Sakuya behaves very much like a modern teenager and is fashion conscious. She would love for her brother to see her as woman and not just a sister. In both anime, Sakuya claims that she and the brother are connected by the "red string of fate" and expresses the desire that she might somehow marry her brother. She is quick to agree it would be impossible when in his presence. In the anime, Sakuya is arguably the most emotionally vulnerable of all the sisters where the brother is concerned, since she goes through extreme emotional reactions when they are separated—or when she anticipates separation. In the first anime, Sakuya frequently uses double entendres and innuendo when speaking to her brother, dismissing her words as jokes when he becomes really flustered.

Yui Horie

Karen

Utama

Female

Karen is the first sister that Wataru meets on Promised Island and is considered the heroine of the story, since she seems to speak for all of them with how much they love and care about their big brother. Knows how to play piano, is sweet, gentle, and is your all around good girl. In the anime when Wataru first arrives and almost drowns in the ocean, she comes to his rescue, and soon meet again when he hears her play the piano at school. In Sister Princess RePure, she adores her older brother as her hero, when he makes a dress that he gave her as a present more stunning that it originally was. It's been said that out of all of the sisters, Karen is the one who seems to have the strongest heartfelt and emotional connection with her brother. Supposedly, Karen is the only sister who is fully related to Wataru.

Natsuko Kuwatani

Marie

Utama

Marie enjoys reading romance and adventure novels. When she travels around, her dog Michael is always with her. One of her defining qualities is the warmth and emotion she feels with natural settings such as the ocean, the wind and summer sun, and even the peaceful nature of the forest. Since she previously wasn't able to go outside due to her condition, she would imagine being at these places in her stories. When she finally met her brother, her dream was to walk along the beach in a beautiful sunset with him. Although implied as somewhat frail, being with her brother has given her strength and happiness in her life.

Ryouka Yuzuki

Chikage

Utama

Female

Height: 157 cm Mysterious, aloof, and occasionally gothic, Chikage is very much into spellcraft, the occult, and religion. She is an accomplished practitioner of dark magic, but prefers to utilize her sorcery in subtle methods, rather than brute power. Common images associated with her are the Christian cross and butterflies. Addresses her brother as Ani-kun (兄くん) (-kun is an address a boy who has a close relation or was about the same age as the address; gives the impression that her age is close to the brother's). In the anime, Chikage claims that she and the brother have been together in previous lives, possibly as brother and sister, perhaps as lovers. She expresses a desire to have him for herself somehow, but admits that he has refused the offer or simply slipped from her grasp several times throughout their incarnations. Out of all the sisters, she is the only one who entertains thoughts of somehow taking the brother away from the others, and almost executes plans to do so.

Ayako Kawasumi

Hinako

Utama

Female

Hinako is the youngest of the 12 sisters, and just like all of them, wants to be around her big brother when possible. She enjoys playing all sorts of games, writing cute little letters and messages, and likes storybooks, especially when Wataru is reading them to her. When she goes off to search for a missing teddy bear, even after Wataru endlessly helps her to search for him, she tells him that, "If onii-tama is with me, I don't need anything else." It really shows that even as young as she is, her playfulness expresses how much she likes her older brother. In her story in Sister Princess RePure, we really get to see how much she adores him in a fantasy sequence where she goes on a little adventure on a rainy day and meets a frog prince, but still continues on to eventually find the one that she likes most, her big brother.

Chiemi Chiba

Haruka

Utama

Haruka is the sister that represents the image of the ideal Japanese woman. She is very skilled in archery and fighting with the naginata, and practices many traditions including tea ceremonies, singing, and dancing. She looks out for her older brother and readily protects him from any impending danger. At the same time, she's a really shy person when it comes to her brother and always blushes when she is close to him. Haruka is from Germany and was one of the three new sisters that was introduced into the series in 2000, making her first appearances in the ongoing stories of Dengeki G's magazine and in the first Sister Princess game, just before the development of the anime series.

Yumi Kakazu

Mamoru

Utama

Mamoru can be described as the sports girl type. Very athletic and energetic, she always looks forward to spending time with her brother, whether it be camping, running with him in sports events, going for a bicycle ride, or even teaching him how to swim. One of her signature features is jetting along in roller skates. Since she's more adapted to wearing sports related clothing, she easily becomes embarrassed when it comes to wearing a dress. In RePure, it's obvious that she really values the time that she gets to spend with her brother, just the two of them, when she plans out a camping trip. Although viewed as somewhat of a tomboy, that image doesn't bother her as long as her brother is with her, supporting her in any way possible.

Yumiko Kobayashi

Rinrin

Utama

Female

Rinrin is the mechanical genius of the sisters and is always hard at work with her inventions. Early on, one of her creations that we meet is Mecha-Rinrin, a giant robot that usually accompanies her. She definitely has a talent for machines and anything mechanical as she makes messenger phones, a submarine, and is even in the process of creating a robot replica of herself. In Sister Princess Repure, she teams up with Yotsuba to form a detective duo to find out details about their big brother that they don't know. Unfortunately, this takes away from really showing her amazing skills as an inventor that are prominent throughout the first Sister Princess anime series and in the original stories. Like all of her sisters, she really puts her heart into her work, as she wants her brother to be happy. And of course, any help and encouragement that her brother Wataru can give her always puts a smile on her face.

Chiro Kanzaki

Shirayuki

Utama

Female

Shirayuki can be considered a little Miss Iron Chef, as she loves to cook and always comes up with new ideas, especially when comes to cooking for her big brother. Her specialty not surprisingly, is sweets, as it suits her personality very well. She really puts her heart into her cooking and is delighted when she makes something that her big brother really enjoys. In the anime, we notice that at first her cooking skills are initially something left to be desired, since she comes up with some strange concoctions; but becomes an amazing cook within a short period of time. You can always see the amount of excitement that she has, especially when it comes to her brother. In fact, in the anime in one episode she gets so excited that she ends up making too much food just for him, a humorous point that goes to show just how big of a heart she has for her big brother.

Kumiko Yokote

Yotsuba

Utama

Female

Yotsuba can best be described as chirpy, cheerful, and full of curiosity, as she wants to know all of her brother's secrets. This little detective is never anywhere without her magnifying glass, as she's always checking things. Her signature phrase"checki" always comes up when she's investigating something very interesting. Yotsuba comes from England and is one of the three new sisters that made her first appearance in 2000 in Dengeki G's magazine and the first Sister Princess game. In Sister Princess RePure, she brings up an interesting point about how much all of them really know about their brother. She teams with Rinrin in order to find out more about him, and like the rest of her sisters, wishes to become closer to him.

Tomoe Hanba

Wataru Minakami

Utama

The brother whom all of the sisters adore. In their eyes, he can do no wrong. Until the final set of illustrated stories, the brother's face was always hidden or turned away from the reader to keep his appearance hidden. The intention was to have the reader believe he was the character. As the series came to its end, a slightly modified version of the character design from the anime was used. As the father of the siblings is never present, and the mothers of the sisters are regularly preoccupied by their upper-class careers, Wataru serves as much a parent figure as he does a brother. He devotes extraordinary time to teaching or guiding them through various life crises, no matter how trivial or difficult they may be. For this reason, the sisters attribute many of their personal accomplishments to him. Despite their unwavering testimonies, Wataru is not perfect, even in the magazine stories and mini-novels. He is unquestionably selfless however, and will do everything in his power to aid his siblings whenever humanly possible. Wataru also seems to possess an uncanny ability to show up exactly when a sister needs him most. Understandably, the greatest fear of the sisters share is someone or something taking Wataru away from them. For this reason, some of them entertain and dream of somehow becoming his wife or life partner. The inclination is far more innocent and less disturbing than it initially may sound: there are no incestuous intentions. As pure as Wataru’s sisters are, they show signs of jealousy and concern when a non-family member "takes" their brother away from them, fearing he may forget or leave them. (The name Wataru Minakami was given to the brother character only for the first Sister Princess television series. In Sister Princess Re-Pure, he is simply referred to as 兄, Ani, or "Brother.")

Kenji Nojima

Akio Yamagami

Pendukung

Akio is Wataru's friend from home in Tokyo. When he, Minai, and Wataru were taking their entrance exams, they had a plan to eventually become the elite men in society. Unfortunately, that plan was cut short when Wataru had failed. While Wataru is on Promised Island living with his sisters, they keep in touch with each other through e-mail. There's even one episode where he just can't resist in playing a little friendly joke to Wataru involving an e-mail pen pal, kind of to remind him that he has a friend back home. As far as the girls' reaction to him, he is well received as Wataru's friend when he comes to visit, though he seems to have a certain other purpose for coming to the island. Akio was a character exclusive to the anime and only appears in Season 1 of the series

Ryoutarou Okiayu

Jeeves

Pendukung

Jiiya is first introduced into the series as Wataru's butler, who is looking after him, since Wataru's father is always traveling. After Wataru is suddenly whisked away to the dock that will bring him to his new school, he appears as a local fisherman, and soon after various other people on the island including a realtor, teacher, a shopkeeper, and even a doctor. What's the reason behind his "jack of all trades" role? He may be looking out for Wataru in a sense, but he has his own reasons as well, since he seems to know a great deal about his past. Jiiya does not appear in the games or in Sister Princess RePure except for a picture of him that sits on Aria's nightstand.

Toshihide Tsuchiya

Tarou Yamada

Pendukung

Yamada is a fellow classmate of Wataru that he meets on the ferry boat ride to Promised Island. He quickly becomes friends with Wataru, so as to hopefully get himself a girlfriend. Any opportunity he has to impress or help Wataru's sisters he uses to his advantage, as he'll do anything to get their attention. Although a bit of an odd character, he definitely provides the comic relief factor to the series. One of his hobbies includes Garban (a parody on Gundam) with collecting model kits and watching the TV series when he's not trying to hit on Wataru's sisters. He only appears in Season 1 of the series with the exception of a brief cameo in Sister Princess RePure. Yamada is the third ferry passenger who goes with Wataru and Mami to Promised Island so he would enroll at the school there. Like Mami, he also provides comic relief to the show, acting as an odd-ball casanova and makes friends with Wataru so he can have a girlfriend. This is especially evident when he calls Wataru lucky for having very pretty sisters and dreams of spending his time with them. To this purpose, he would do anything to get their attention. Despite his odd behaviour, Yamada does have some redeeming traits; he can work very hard if he is properly motivated and refrains from doing anything truly scandalous. It is worth noting that although none of the sisters shows any romantic interest in Yamada, they do seem to place a considerable amount of trust in him, probably because he is vocal about being friends with Wataru. Karen enlists his aid as a sympathetic ear for Wataru on one occasion, and Shirayuki listens to him when he says Wataru needs "nutrition for the heart", meaning she should make him much more food because it makes him feel manly (Yamada only said this because he wanted some of Shirayuki's cooking for himself and thought he could eat whatever Wataru can't). When he is not spending his time with the sisters, Taro focuses his attention to anything related to a fictional anime called Garban (a parody of Gundam). Some of the episodes actually end with him watching Garban; these often involve either Yamada or one of the characters to make a comment that mimicks Wataru's own situation. Eventually, he manages to outgrow this obsession, when he is provided with a surplus of Garban material. His fascination with the fairer sex remains as strong as ever, though.

Kappei Yamaguchi

Mamimi Yamagami

Pendukung

Although one of the minor characters exclusive to the anime version of the Sister Princess series, she has proven to be a popular character among viewers. First appearing as a fellow classmate of Wataru going to Promised Island, it turns that she is sent by someone to keep an eye on Wataru, and apparently to break him apart from his sisters. Part of this includes getting stuck as pretending to be Wataru's 13th sister, although she really isn't. (Note: she is related to one of the characters in the series. Read the later episode summaries if you want to know who it is) As she spends more time with Wataru and his sisters, she realizes how much he means to the girls and how much he cares about each and every one of them, including her. When it comes to indecisiveness and problems that Wataru seems to run into, she helps to set him straight and offer her honest opinions and advice. It was disappointing to fans of Mami that she wasn't a prominent character in Sister Princess Repure, mainly due to the fact that Repure was more structured on the original stories of G's magazine. However, she does make a brief appearance as one of the girls working at the bakery where Yotsuba and Rinrin had followed Wataru.

Kyouko Hikami

Mysterious Man

Pendukung

At first,it was mistakenly thought to be Jeeves but he is different. He is a mysterious man form first from a tree whom Aria met. He helps Aria looking for her lost ribbon and finds it in the place where they first met. He's very nice and he even cheered up Aria by the use of magic.

Toshihide Tsuchiya

Dance Event Manager

Pendukung

An old man Mamoru and the others met who was looking for a lost hairpin that was owned by his late wife. Eventually Haruka and Wataru found the hairpin and returned it back to him. To repay them for the nice thing they did, he invited them to dance alone in the dance hall that he owns.

Michael

Pendukung

Michael is very friendly and quickly takes a liking to Wataru. It's obvious that he understands Marie very well as he seems to reflect her emotions, and in a way looks after her as well. In fact, he helps Wataru find a special seashell that's very important to her, a part of her dream of the oceanside that she always wanted to share with her brother. Marie 's dog.

Minai

Pendukung

Minai is Wataru and Akio's friend in Tokyo that was ranked second in grades to Wataru. It's obvious that he's more concerned about being the number one student in their class, and when he sees Wataru again later in the series, he considers him a rival more than a friend. Initially, he was part of their plan to become the elite men in society until Wataru's failing the exam changed everything.
