| The main protagonist, Taichi is a major pro-wrestling fan. Inaba calls him a "selfless freak" since Taichi often tries to help others even at his own expense. He is in love with Iori, but it seems he may also have feelings for Inaba. | |
![]() | Iori Nagase (永瀬 伊織 Nagase Iori) Voiced by: Aki ToyosakiOccupation: Student (Class 1C), Club President Gender: Female |
| President of the cultural club, Iori is generally easy going and cheerful. She lives with her mother but often has to look after herself. Having had several stepfathers due to her mother repeatedly divorcing and remarrying, Iori started altering her behavior and personality to better fit the expectations of other people, and ultimately develops worries that she has no real personality of her own. She is in love with Taichi. | |
![]() | Himeko Inaba (稲葉 姫子 Inaba Himeko) Voiced by: Miyuki SawashiroOccupation: Student (Class 1C), Club Vice President Gender: Female |
| A very assertive and otherwise sarcastic member of the cultural club, Himeko is usually the voice of reason in the club to talk sense into Taichi and the rest when things are rough. | |
![]() | Yui Kiriyama (桐山 唯 Kiriyama Yui) Voiced by: Hisako KanemotoOccupation: Student (Class 1A) Gender: Female |
| Yui is skilled in karate but is one of the more emotionally weaker members of the group. She has androphobia which makes things with Aoki awkward, since he claims to be in love with her. Naturally she tends to hang around with Iori and Himeko more than the boys in the club. | |
![]() | Yoshifumi Aoki (青木 義文 Aoki Yoshifumi) Voiced by: Takuma TerashimaOccupation: Student (Class 1A) Gender: Male |
| The final member of the cultural club. He is rather kind, although also fairly gullible. He is in love with Yui, who, although doesn't return the same feelings, doesn't seem to mind his advances as much as she claims. | |
