Green Green (anime) - Characters

Characters

Yuusuke Takasaki (高崎 祐介, Takasaki Yuusuke?)

• Voiced by: Ken Takeuchi (Japanese), Bryce Papenbrook (English)

The main male lead, Yuusuke is perhaps the most "normal" of the boys at Kanenone. He is friends with the Baka Trio, but does not share their more perverted interests. Despite this, the Baka Trio consider Yuusuke to be a member of their group, and he usually finds himself forced or dragged along into involvement with their less-than-wholesome activities.

Yuusuke is implied to be the reincarnation of the boy from the tale of ill-fated lovers mentioned at the start of every episode, with Midori as his partner. However, Yuusuke appears to have no recollection of his past, and initially responds to Midori's affectionate advances by either pushing her away or treating her harshly. Only after recovering his past memories does he fall in love with her. Yuusuke also finds himself liking the tomboyish Futaba Kutsuki, creating a love triangle between the three main characters.

Tadatomo Ijuuin (伊集院 忠知, Ijuuin Tadatomo?) aka Bacchi-Gū (バッチグー?)

• Voiced by: Kazunari Tanaka (Japanese), Peter Doyle (English)

The apparent leader of the Baka Trio, Bacchi-Gū is an overweight, bespectacled pervert who has no shame. The arrival of beautiful girls to Kanenone seems to send him out of control. He does things such as drinking the bath water the girls recently bathed in, to making a nipple print of his own nipples so he can imagine they belong to a girl. Bacchi-Gū is considered to be the lead comic relief of the series and is the male mascot of Green Green.

Hikaru Ichiban-Boshi (一番星光, Ichibanboshi Hikaru?)

• Voiced by: Jin Domon (Japanese), Ezra Weisz (English)

Literally translated in English as "number one shining star," Ichiban-Boshi believes himself to be a suave ladies man. He has a book of pick-up lines to use on his new female classmates, but he always fails and makes a fool of himself. He is perhaps the least perverted of the Baka Trio, but he is still a pervert nonetheless.

Taizo Tenjin (天神 泰三, Tenjin Taizou?)

• Voiced by: Kenji Hamada (Japanese), Neil Kaplan (English)

Tenjin has an odd fetish. He dreams of having Sanae consider him a big brother, and then she will sleep next to him... while he smells her and eats rice at the same time (a joke referring to the word okazu, which means both "meal" and "porn"). Sanae's young appearance makes him instantly attracted to her, but Sanae wants nothing to do with Tenjin.

Midori Chitose (千歳 みどり, Chitose Midori?)

• Voiced by: Sara Nakayama (Japanese), Cindy Robinson (English)

The main female lead, Midori is an outgoing and cheerful girl who seems to know Yuusuke and is in love with him. She seems willing to do anything for him, even filling out a form of perverted questions the Baka Trio gave her, hoping it will please Yuusuke. In the opening scene of the series, Midori narrates a tale about two people who were in love, but their love was forbidden at the time and they could not stay together. They promised each other to meet again in another life, hinting that Midori is the girl from the tale and somehow retained her memories, while Yuusuke is the boy from the tale, but he has not retained the memories of his past life. She is also noted to have D-cup breasts. She seemingly has no grasp at the effects some of her antics have wrought, such as climbing on top of a bedridden Yuusuke in the nurses' office while in lingerie, and hanging on to his arm after class ended. Her given name means "green" in Japanese, probably in reference to the name "Green Green".

Futaba Kutsuki (朽木 双葉, Kutsuki Futaba?)

• Voiced by: Eriko Fujimaki (Japanese), Kristen Rutherford (English)

Futaba plays the role of the tough, boy-hating tsundere. She is less than enthusiastic about the co-ed trial run of the schools, and acts as the self-appointed protector of the girls against the boys of Kanenone. She is particularly disgusted by the antics of the Baka Trio, and does not hesitate to resort to physical violence against them as punishment for their indiscretions. After the Baka Trio pulls a humiliating prank on her, she decides to leave Kanenone immediately on her own. She gets lost and injured in the surrounding woods but is rescued by Yuusuke, who carries her back to Kanenone. This act of kindness, along with an earlier display of chivalry by Yuusuke to protect her modesty, sparks feelings inside her for the boy, and Futaba soon finds herself falling in love with Yuusuke. The two become a couple in Episode 13.

Futaba has a younger sister, Wakaba. She is also the main character in the H-game's second sequel, Green Green 3.

Reika Morimura (森村 麗花, Morimura Reika?)

• Voiced by: Kana Ueda (Japanese), Alexandra Gerstein (English)

Reika is a mysterious person seems to know about the connection between Midori and Yuusuke. She seems to be intent on keeping the two apart, trying to put Yuusuke and Futaba and other girls together instead. She is noted to have E-cup breasts like Chigusa. Reika's motives are explained near the end of the series. Her given name in Japanese means "lovely flower".

Unlike the other characters, Reika was not in the H-game of Green Green. She was created as a new character for the television series.

Wakaba Kutsuki (朽木 若葉, Kutsuki Wakaba?)

• Voiced by: Yukiko Mannaka (Japanese), Philece Sampler (English)

Wakaba is Futaba's younger sister. She shows a deep amount of respect for Futaba, referring to her as onee-sama ("honored elder sister").

Wakaba is almost always seen carrying around her potted cactus, whom she named Togemura (literally translated as "thorn village"). Like some devoted plant lovers, Wakaba talks to Togemura as if it was a person; what is unusual is that Togemura appears to be able to communicate with Wakaba as well. Wakaba also uses Togemura as a fortune-telling device and as a weapon to defend herself and her friends, magical girl-style.

Sanae Minami (美南 早苗, Minami Sanae?)

• Voiced by: Saori Suzuki (Japanese), Sandy Fox (English)

A friend of Wakaba, Sanae is a weak and shy girl who joins the trip to Kanenone because her doctors believe that the fresh country air will be beneficial to her health. Her need to take medication on a regular basis is highlighted in several episodes.

Sanae has a much younger appearance than the rest of the major female characters. This draws the attention of Tenjin, who has a fetish for "little sister" types. Unfortunately for Tenjin, his unusual and over-enthusiastic advances only manage to frighten Sanae away from him. It is implied that Sanae begins to develop feelings for Yuusuke after he helps her.

Chigusa Iino (飯野 千種, Iino Chigusa?)

• Voiced by: Mariko Suzuki (Japanese), Samantha Reynolds (English)

Chigusa is the nurse at the all-girls boarding school. She came along on the trip as the girls' supervisor. The Baka Trio, especially Bacchi-Gū, are enamored by Chigusa's beauty and her E-cup breasts. Although she should be keeping the girls in order, Chigusa is very easy-going and actually encourages the girls to flirt with the boys.

Arisa Haruno (春乃 亜里紗, Haruno Arisa?)

• Voiced by: Noriko Yoshitake (Japanese), Mari Devon (English)

A brash, bespectacled girl with braided hair who has rather vivid bishōnen sexual fantasies. Her apparent role in the anime is to provide comic relief from the side of the girls. Although her physical attributes manage to attract the attentions of the Baka Trio every now and then, the sight of her face is enough to put an end to any perverted thoughts they may have.
