Characters
Japanese names are italicized.
- Trill: Unison's lead vocalist and dancer, she plays the role of the stereotypical ditzy blonde. Easily excited and eager to do the right thing.
- Cela: A quiet green-haired girl who seems to have a history with Ducker, and the most logical minded of the trio.
- Chilly: A tomboy who practices Unison's most demanding dance moves.
- Friday: Chilly's pet robot, the token "cute animal thing" for the story.
- Doctor Dance (Dance Teacher): The organizer of Unison and the mastermind of their plan to reintroduce the citizens of Twin Ships to dancing. He is of another world. Friday frequently tries to chew on his hair.
- Ducker: The evil leader of Twin Ships, who is often seen literally riding in an oversized rubber ducky.
- June Baby (Manajun): A singer trained by Ducker to regain his audience from Unison's pirate broadcasts, easily driven to anger when she's not getting what she wants. She Likes Doctor Dance.
- Like & Y'Know (Potti & Guno): Heads of the Ducker Fan Club, both of whom are frequently subjected to Ducker's wrath, either on accident or in retribution for messing up a plan. As their names suggest, Like tends to include the word "like" in his sentences, and the same for Y'Know.
- The Barn Family (Yamashita Family): A trio of average Twin Ships citizens - a man and his wife and daughter - who are fans of Ducker's music shows. As they are subjected to Unison's broadcasts, they are shown to gradually become fans of the girls. They reflect the changing, pro-dancing attitude of Twin Ships as a whole.
