Characters
Klonoa: The long-eared hero of the story who wakes up one morning in the strange world this game take place in. Using his trusty wind bullet, he is determined to rid the world of several monsters that are causing trouble, as well as discover the secret to why he came here in the first place.
Huepow: Klonoa's trusty sidekick who resembles a floating blue sphere with small hands and eyes. He helps Klonoa during the game as he is the source of the Wind Bullet (precursor of Lolo), he is also quick to offer him advice during their travels.
Emperor Jillius: The once-benevolent ruler of his kingdom until chronic insomnia caused him to become exceedingly irritable. He has since banned dreams within his realm and offers severe penalties for those who have them. He appears to be rather aged in the game illustration, but the official guide in Japan states that he's in fact only somewhere in his twenties. A strange character. He is pessimistic and shows much sarcasm and wit in 'Shibuutenkoku Kaze no Klonoa'.
Bagoo: The minister in Jillius' dream. There seems to be a strange dark side to this character...
Chipple: A amateur-boxer from Ghazzaland. He is the first monster that Klonoa has to defeat, and reverts back only after that has happened. Chipple has no recollection of what he has been doing while he was a monster, and only recalls dreaming that he was very strong... and a red mist. In Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament, Chipple's design is changed to a kangaroo, though he did not fully resemble one in Empire of Dreams.
Muzika: A soprano from the town of Priamill. She is the second monster Klonoa has to fight, and again, has no memories whatsoever of her doings while in her monster form. She remembers singing in her dream, along with a blue mist. There are several theories stating that she has feelings for Emperor Jillius, but this is unlikely. Muzika's name is an obvious pun on music.
Beryl: Appears only briefly. He claims to be Muzika's friend, but seems to have feelings for her, possibly romantic. He shows a lot of concern towards her, and pleads to Klonoa 'to bring the old Muzika back'. Muzika and Beryl seems to be a canon pairing, if in a relationship indeed, due to this.
Chirin: The 'master chef' from Jiobob. He had gone missing without any trace, and later turned up in a rocky terrain. He is the third monster, and only remembers cooking up a delicious meal that will even make carrots tasty when a yellow mist covered his vision.
Dr. Medim: A doctor from the forest village Santal, who wishes find a cure for every single illnesses in the world. He too, disappeared and was found in the middle of the forest. He is the last of the four monsters Klonoa is ordered to fight, and seems to be the only one who remembers his doings as a monster. He remembers a vital clue that Klonoa and Huepow manage to link to the mystery surrounding the empire. Medim's name may be a pun on medicine.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.”
—Clifford Irving (b. 1930)
“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
