Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan - Characters

Characters

Sakura Kusakabe (草壁桜?)

Voiced by: Reiko Takagi (Japanese), Johnny Yong Bosch (English)

Sakura is a 13-year-old second-year junior high school student whose life changed the day the "Bludgeoning Angel" Dokuro-chan appeared. From that day on, he went from the life of a normal boy to one filled with bloody clubbings by an angel. In the future, Sakura is apparently destined to create a technology that stops girls from aging after they reach the age of twelve years, which has led to Sakura gaining a reputation as a pedophile around his school (though this is only because the male population are jealous of him having two heart-breakingly beautiful angels attracted to him). While not perverted by nature, Sakura still manages to get into tricky situations with Dokuro and her sister, Zakuro. Sakura has a crush on his classmate and childhood friend, Shizuki Minakami, whom he spends much of his time with but is too afraid to confess his feelings. Despite gradually developing feelings for Dokuro even with the way she treats him, Sakura continues to pursue after Shizuki, even going on a date with her which ultimately fails when Dokuro and Sabato intervene.

Dokuro Mitsukai (三塚井ドクロ?)

Voiced by: Saeko Chiba (Japanese), Wendee Lee (English)

Dokuro is a 14-year-old bludgeoning angel of Rurutie (a committee of angels that protect the domain of God) from the future brought back through time to kill Sakura Kusakabe, but decides to save him instead after falling in love with him. As a result, Dokuro vowed to stay by his side to protect him from any of the dangers which may appear. She wields the magical spiked kanabō (club), "Excalibolg", which she uses to brutally club her victims to death to express her displeasure (almost exclusively to Sakura). Dokuro has super-human strength and endurance (because of this she often underestimates her own strength and harms Sakura), and is also capable of bringing anyone back to life with Excalibolg by chanting "Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi". She also can, and does, use her magic to cause humans to transform into animals or to completely erase them from existence, mainly as an excuse to pair up with Sakura. When she is not brutally killing Sakura she teases him mercilessly, mostly using sexual innuendo to activate his more carnal side. Eventually, she founds a school club dedicated to watching wood glue dry, after gaining a teacher's approval using some sort of torture involving "the nerves of your teeth". She promptly coerces Sakura into becoming its second member (by sticking him onto a board and leaving him there until he joins) and has stated her desire to achieve the national championship in this particular 'sport'. As of the second season, Dokuro has become more "comfortable" with Sakura seeing her nude.

Sabato Mihashigo (三橋檎サバト?)

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Laura Bailey (English)

Sabato is another 12-year-old angel sent from the future to assassinate Sakura before he can create his "Pedophile's World". Also with super-human strength, she has ram horns on her head. After Sabato was defeated, she began to live in a small cardboard box under a bridge. Her living allowance is funded from an unknown source. Her weapon is the deadly shock-baton, "Durandal" (which she can "char blue whales in the blink of an eye). It is later revealed that her mother is Babel Mihashigo, the chairman of Rurutie and the main instigator in the operation to kill Sakura. Until Sabato is able to kill Sakura, she is not allowed to return back to her domain. Even though Dokuro and Sabato are on opposite sides of the operation, they are actually friends and hang out with one another when they are not fighting over Sakura.

Zansu (ザンス?)

Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita (Japanese), Kirk Thornton (English)

Zansu is yet another angel from the future who has accompanied Dokuro in the attempt to save Sakura's life. His appearance is very odd, looking more like a member of a biker gang. Unlike the other angels, Zansu is often on the receiving end of the stick whenever he makes an appearance around Sakura. His trademark pink mohawk is his most defining trait. It is later revealed that he has a hidden camera in it which he uses to take erotic pictures of Zakuro. He is, unfortunately, revealed to have some perverted tendencies and is frequently nude in the second series. Every sentence Zansu says ends in "Zansu". Sakura describes him as a "has been-death metal punk" and a "pedophile."

Zakuro Mitsukai (三塚井ザクロ, Mitsukai Zakuro?)

Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (Japanese), Dorothy Fahn (English)

Zakuro is a nine-year-old angel (although she looks at least nine years older for her age) with a far larger bust size than her older sister, Dokuro. She has the super-human powers of most angels and wears the clothes of a naval officer's uniform, as well as an eyepatch on her left eye for unknown reasons. Zakuro is unusually polite, addressing people with the formal "-san" suffix after their names rather than the informal "-kun" or "-chan". Calm and soft-spoken, she is quite proficient in battle. Her weapon is a wet towel called "Eckilsax" which can split into two or more for close combat, as well as stretching itself to bind opponents. In the second series, she moves in with Sakura and Dokuro. Zakuro seems to get on well with Sakura and appears to have a crush on him, although she sometimes suggests that Dokuro kills Sakura only to realize what she's saying and apologize (but is usually too late by then).

Shizuki Minakami (水上静希, Minakami Shizuki?)

Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese), Mela Lee (English)

Shizuki is 12 years old and one of Sakura's classmates as well as his childhood friend. Much like the rest of Sakura's classmates, Shizuki is unfazed with the chaos which the angels introduce. It is noteworthy however that while Sakura's classmates think that he is a pedophile and treat him with contempt and jealousy, Shizuki believes him to be a good person and is the only character to stick by him amongst the chaos. Shizuki seems to have a crush on Sakura but like Sakura is also unable to confess her feelings to him. She is a bit jealous of Dokuro because of how much attention Sakura gives her (mostly out of responsibility for her actions) but seems to care about her all the same.
