MegaTokyo Character List
Names of Japanese characters are in the Japanese order: family name first, given name last. The Kanji versions for many of them can be seen here.
Note: I've kept the character descriptions relatively spoiler-free for the benefit of people who haven't read the entire MT archives yet and so that it's less work keeping them up to date. Even so, the best way to learn who these people are is to just read the comics.
Some character pictures and descriptions were stolen from the Who's Who in MegaTokyo page by Erin Gaston because she did such a good job.
|
Core characters |
Piro
| An avid manga/anime fan, especially shoujo and dating sim games. Horrible when it comes to real girls.
|
Largo
| A hardcore gamer who has an over-active imagination (or does he?), Largo gets into all kinds of trouble while in Japan... much to Piro's dismay.
|
Nanasawa Kimiko
| Kimiko is an aspiring voice actress who has little confidence in herself or in her abilities. Also works as a waitress at Anna Miller's, and is Erika's roommate.
|
Hayasaka Erika
| Erika works at MegaGamers, where she wears cosplay outfits everyday. She's known to use violence with guys who invade her personal space.
|
Tohya Miho
| Darkly cute, Miho is perhaps the most enigmatic character in Megatokyo. Is she really (as Largo fears) the queen of the zombies, or is she just misunderstood?
|
Ping
| Ping is a prototype of the Sony SEVS-44936, a new Playstation 2 accessory that will allow the player to interact with the main girl in any visual novel or dating sim. She's very real, and doesn't handle rejection well at all.
|
Sonoda Yuki
| A real, honest to goodness Japanese schoolgirl. Yuki finds herself mixed up with Piro and company after discovering Piro's incredible drawing abilities.
|
Dom
| Went to college with Largo, and now works for Sega. Very competitive with his best friend/arch-rival, Ed, you'll never see Dom without a mini-arsenal of guns.
|
Ed
| Dom's best friend/arch-rival. Ed works for Sony, and seems to always get the raw end of the deal during any adventure with Dom and Largo. His appearance changes a few times over the course of the comic.
|
Seraphim
| As Piro's conscience, Seraphim has her work cut out for her. She has to deal with his fascination with Japanese schoolgirls, and his plight of being stranded in a foreign country.
|
Boo
| All the temp agency had, Boo is Seraphim's new assistant. A hamster with strap-on wings, Boo has been acting as Largo's conscience... and doing the best job he can.
|
Junpei
| Junpei is a l33t ninja-for-hire. He idolizes Largo, who he calls the l33t Master.
|

|
Kobayashi
| Kobayashi is the fanboy who made the most progress during the reconnaissance mission.
|
Man Moeko
| Sure, he just looks like an obsessed fanboy, but wait until he puts on his Moeko kigurumi costume. Then he's downright scary.
|
Kuro

|
Sleepy Shadow
| Once part of Kuro's group, he rejected those ways and started the Nanasawa Protection Coalition.

Sonoda Masamichi
| Yuki's father. A member of the Tokyo Police Cataclysm Division, Inspector Sonoda deals with all the scheduled, and unscheduled, disasters that occur in Tokyo.

Sonoda Hitoshi
| Masamichi's brother. He's not a current character, but he played an important role in the past when he broke a certain girl's heart.
|
Kurabayashi Asako
| One of Yuki's friends from school. Very cheerful, blunt at times, and so energetic it hurts just to watch her.
|
Teramoto Mami
| Another of Yuki's school friends. More level-headed than Asako. She's quick to point out when Yuki does something wrong, but is fiercely defensive of her as well.

| On the other hand, this sister has a cheery optimism and thinks Piro can embrace his faults and still find happiness.
|

Nurse Sugawara
| The school nurse at Shiritsu Daitou High School, where Miho and Ping are students. Seems like a nice lady, and she attends to Miho when she gets ill.

|
Yuki's teacher
| This teacher sometimes has to deal with Yuki's daydreaming or her friends' overzealous attempts to cheer her up.

| The boss at MegaGamers. He is intimidated by Erika, but is highly sympathetic to her as well.

Undead Rangers Captain

|
Shirt Guy Dom
|
Fred's way of "torturing" the fans by letting Dom write and draw strips. Shirt Guy Dom is, essentially, Dom as a stick figure. Often accompanied by stick figure Ed and others. Bad drawings, bad jokes, good fun to be had by all.
