Karakter & Staf

Hakuoro

Utama

Hakuoro is the main protagonist who wears an irremovable mask over the top part of his head extended down to just under the eyes. He is found badly injured by Eruruu, who nurses him back to health. It is soon apparent that he has lost all of his memories, and he additionally finds that the state of the world varies significantly from his expectations (e.g. certain anatomical attributes are now considered normal, such as ears and tails). In place of his forgotten name, he is given the name Hakuoro (白皇, meaning "White Emperor" in Ainu, also the name of Eruruu and Aruruu's father). His main weapon of choice is a large metal fan that was given to him by Tusukuru. He quickly captivates and gains the trust of those around him, and soon finds himself in a growing position of leadership. Major Spoilers

Rikiya Koyama

Eruruu

Utama

Female

Eruruu is the female protagonist, though there are other main female characters in the story. She was the first person Hakuowlo meets when he wakes up after being found by her. She nurses Hakuowlo back to health until he is strong enough to go walking outside, with much initial assistance provided by Eruruu and a walking stick. Later, she falls in love with Hakuowlo. Eruruu has a forceful, but caring and gentle personality. She is named after a flower that only exists in the story. In the game and manga, she is often found displeased of her small breast size.

Ryouka Yuzuki

Aruruu

Utama

Aruruu is Eruruu's younger sister. She's very shy and overall quiet. Like Eruruu, her name is taken from a fictional flower, saying that the Eruruu and Aruruu flowers grow together. After Mutikapa, a large, white tiger that is nearly invulnerable to small weapons, is defeated by Hakuoro, she tends to her baby tiger whom she names Mukkuru. Mukkuru grows in a very short time and becomes Aruruu's mount in battle. She is a Yaana Mauna, one with a natural talent for understanding animal's feelings and is able to converse properly with them. This talent is what allows her to command Mukkuru, the son of a divine beast.

Miyuki Sawashiro

Oboro

Utama

Oboro was in the beginning an impulsive and somewhat egotistical bandit chief of a fort near the village of Yamayura. He is very caring for his younger sister, Yuzuha, to whom he would bring Tusukuru to oversee her health. When Hakuoro becomes the leader of the country's rebellion, Oboro joins forces with him and swears eternal allegiance, with revenge for Tusukuru among his reasons, calling Hakuoro his brother. His "vassals", Dorii and Guraa, are always at his side, though their lord/ vassal relationship is never explained. After the rebellion, Oboro becomes a general of the new country of Tusukuru, and leads a sort of "special forces" unit of vagabond swordsmen from his old bandit fort. He is constantly butting heads with Kurou over military matters, and it becomes a source of comic relief. At mealtimes, Oboro hates eating vegetables with a passion, to the point where eating a small amount causes him to gag. Oboro's main weapons of choice are two katanas that he uses in balance with his good agility, making him a deadly fighter but quite inexperienced compared to the other main and supporting characters.

Daisuke Kirii

Benawi

Utama

In the first part, Benawi is the Samurai Leader of Kenashikourupe. When Hakuoro's rebellion overtakes Kenashikourupe, Benawi realizes defeat and kills the emperor, to spare him from possible torture and humiliation, then attempts suicide, but Hakuoro stops him, convincing him to join his cause as his right-hand man. Benawi has a strong sense of responsibility to his country. He carries a calm and logical personality but gets irritated when Hakuoro ignores the duties as a ruler. The main weapon of choice is a halberd, which he uses most effectively whilst riding. A man of convictions and morals, he believes that the people in a country should come first, and is not afraid to tell even an emperor when he believes they are making bad decisions. A cunning tactician, second only to Hakuro, Benawi is able to remain calm under pressure and is able to adapt to unexpected changes during a battle.

Daisuke Namikawa

Kurou

Utama

Kurou is the second-in-command of Benawi's cavalry. When the first emperor falls, he remains loyal to Benawi, and, in turn, to Hakuoro, to whom Benawi swears allegiance. Kurou tends to be a source of comedic relief of the anime, usually seen either arguing with Oboro, helping to plan military actions, training with his men in the courtyard or on the battlefield, by Benawi's side. His main weapon of choice is a thick longsword which he uses very effectively and with great skill in battle. He always calls Hakuro "Commander" when speaking to him, and always calls Benawi "General", even when Benawi's rank was taken by Nuwangi for a time. In the OVA, it is revealed that he has a thing for young, petite girls.

Touka

Utama

Female

Touka is an Evenkurugan, a clan of warriors who fight for justice. She fights using a katana. Her increased agility and swordsmanship make her a deadly warrior.

She is very strict when it comes to discipline on the battlefield and martial arts in general.

Kaya Miyake

Yuzuha

Utama

Female

Yuzuha is Oboro's little sister and a friend to Aruruu and Camyu. She has been very sick with an unknown illness all her life, and is blind. Although bedridden most of the time, her senses of smell and hearing have been whetted by her lack of sight, and enabling her to recognize a person by their scent or even the manner of their footsteps. Yuzuha possesses a gentle persona, which she made especially apparent when dealing with her older brother, and in the fact that she refuses to let an animal die in the hope of obtaining her disease's cure.

Mai Nakahara

Karura

Utama

Female

Karura was once princess of Na-Tunku before she was taken down and replaced with a puppet of the Shakukoporu. She is found after killing many enemy soldiers with her bare hands in order to escape. Even though she's royalty, she decides to live a "normal" life as "Karura", serving Hakuoro. She and her brother are the last two Giriyaginas on Earth. Her superhuman strength let her wield a ridiculously heavy sword, thus making her a very effective shock troop, acting more like Hakuowlo's tank on the battlefield and ripping through enemy troops. She's often seen carrying a jug of sake around, sometimes even on the battlefield. She appears to have known Urutori from long ago, though their shared history is never revealed. During the slave's revolt in Na-Tunku, Karura swears everlasting devotion and fealty to Hakuoro, the most sacred vow one of her kind can make. Her brother, Derihourai, becomes the new emperor of Karurauatsuurei (named after Karura), the new name he gives Na-Tunku after the slave's revolt succeeds.

Rie Kugimiya

Dorii

Utama

Dorii and Guraa are twin archers serving under Oboro. They are talented archers and often lead archer groups in Hakuoro's army. There are few ways to tell them apart. For one, Dorii has purple eyes while Guraa's are blue. Also, the bottom part of Dorii's clothes are blue while with Guraa they are red. You really can't make them separate characters since they're always side by side. They are somewhat androgynous, and as such their gender is difficult to ascertain, even by other characters.

Her accidental death sparks a battle between Yamayura village and the local lord, Sasante, eventually leading to a full scale rebellion.

After usurping Benawi as Samurai General, Nuwangi uses his own personal army to crush one innocent village after another, even those that did not side with Hakuro. After he is defeated by Hakuro, Nuwangi is brought to the rebel HQ for punishment, which is left up to Eruruu. Not desiring any revenge, she allows Nuwangi to go free, much to his shock and bewilderment. She bids Nuwangi farewell as he wanders down a road into the morning mist, and is never seen again.

Tooru Ookawa

Kuya Amururineuruka

Pendukung

Kuya is the young ruler of Kunnekamun. She befriends Hakuoro after having many secret meetings with him, which were led to by her curiosity of the almost supernatural feats that Hakuoro was able to execute.

Pendukung

After Mutikapa, the tiger goddess who lived in the forest surrounding the village is killed, Aruruu finds her cub and raises it as her own, naming it Mukkuru. He becomes Aruruu's best friend and never leaves her side, even being her riding mount in battle. After Aruruu begins raising Mukuru, he begins growing very fast, reaching adult size in only a few weeks. Mukuru is always hungry and eats a lot, though Aruruu's motherly guidance keeps him from over-eating. Even after growing up, Mukuru always maintains the mentality of a cub, acting like a oversized kitten than a ferocious tiger unless in battle. Like his birth mother Mutikapa, Mukuru has a hide that is impenetrable to any weapon, even the Avu-Kamuu. (Source: Wikipedia)
