Witch Hunter Robin - Characters

Characters

  • Robin Sena (瀬名 ロビン, Sena Robin?) is a soft-spoken 15-year-old Hunter with pyrokinetic abilities. She carries thousands of years of witches' memories, enabling her to understand the sadness arising from the conflict between humans and witches. This understanding is supposed to allow her to find a way for humans and witches to peacefully coexist as "Eve of witches." She was raised in a convent in Italy before she joined the STN-J. Her ultimate fate is unknown. The reactions of the other characters show that she is believed to be alive, but she is said to be dead for her own safety. In the series, it is implied that Robin has a romantic attachment to Amon. Robin is voiced by Akeno Watanabe in the Japanese version and Kari Wahlgren in the English version.
  • Amon (亜門, Amon?) is a 25-year-old S-class Hunter and Robin's partner. Although he is not a witch, he carries the witch gene. Once Robin accepts her fate as the "Eve of Witches", Amon volunteers to be a watchman who will terminate her if she becomes destructive. His ultimate fate is unknown. The reactions of the other characters show that he is believed to be alive, but he is said to be dead for his own safety. It is implied that Amon is not only Robin's protector and possible destructor, but also Robin's romantic partner. Amon is voiced by Takuma Takewaka in the Japanese version and Crispin Freeman in the English version.
  • Haruto Sakaki (榊 晴人, Sakaki Haruto?) is an 18 year-old Hunter and is the newest member before Robin. He is initially afraid of being replaced when Robin arrives. Haruto is supportive, but brash, slightly hot-tempered, and ambitious, often rushing into danger during hunts, with regrettable results. He is voiced by Jun Fukuyama in the Japanese version and Johnny Yong Bosch in the English version.
  • Michael Lee (マイケル・リー, Maikeru Rī?) is a hacker and the STN-J's technical support expert. After he is caught hacking into the STN-J's computer network, he is given the option of working for the organization or being killed and is confined to the STN-J headquarters building for all hours of the day. He avoids Robin at first, but gradually warms up to her. He is able to dig up extensive information regarding witches and police reports without leaving tracks. In the end, he is finally given permission to leave STN-J headquarters. Michael is voiced by Hiro Yuuki in the Japanese version and Dave Wittenberg in the English version.
  • Miho Karasuma (烏丸 美穂, Karasuma Miho?) is a 19 year-old hunter with the craft of psychometry, a craft which allows her to touch an object and read strong emotions and thoughts a person had while holding it. She can also see past events that happened to, or around, an item or place and uses this power when examining evidence or crime scenes. Miho gives Robin advice on how to improve control over her power and also acts as her mentor. In the end, she takes Amon's place as team leader. She is voiced by Kaho Kōda in the Japanese version and Wendee Lee in the English version.
  • Yurika Dōjima (堂島 百合香, Dōjima Yurika?) is portrayed as carefree, lazy, vain, and immature; and she would sooner go shopping than go on a mission any chance she gets. She does the most minimal work during missions and leaves the others immediately when her task is finished. She is really a Solomon intelligence operative sent to uncover more information about the Orbo. In the end, she begins to take the task of hunting down witches more seriously. She is voiced by Kyoko Hikami in the Japanese version and Michelle Ruff in the English version.
  • Chief Inspector Shintarō Kosaka (小坂 慎太郎, Kosaka Shintarō?) is a rather short-tempered man who works directly under Zaizen, and passes on reports of the organization's progress as well as other related information. He was originally a member of the city police force and he possesses connections that become useful when the hunters are unable to use the STN-J databases. In the end, he becomes the new administrator of STN-J. He is voiced by Shinpachi Tsuji in the Japanese version and Doug Stone in the English version.
  • Takuma Zaizen (財前 琢磨, Zaizen Takuma?) is the administrator of the STN-J and the Factory. He is in charge of transforming the blood of witches into the substance called Orbo, which the Hunters use to stop witches. His Orbo research came under suspicion and his relationship with Solomon headquarters is strained. He is eventually incinerated by Robin after an unsuccessful attempt on her life. He is voiced by Michihiro Ikemizu in the Japanese version and Jamieson Price in the English version.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
    which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.
    Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)

    No author has created with less emphasis such pathetic characters as Chekhov has....
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
