Human Characters

Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi (Drama CD), Hiro Shimono (Anime)

The main character of the series who gets stranded on Airantou. Being the only male human on the island, he becomes the center of attention of most of the female residents.

  • Abusive Parents: Has one in his grandfather.
  • Accidental Kiss: To Ayane.
  • Accidental Pervert: And HOW.
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: He has gradually become accustomed to talking with the anthropomorphic animals on the island, yet still refuses to believe in anything of paranormal or mythological origin even if it is right in front of him.
    • He doesn't have any problems believing in aliens and Robot Girls either.
    • He winds up on the other end of the spectrum, when he tries to convince the islanders on the existence of the aforementioned aliens.
    • He did have trouble believing in the anthropomorphic aspect of Airantou's animals, but that quickly died away when Shima-tora made a...convincing argument.
    • A recent chapter had him get sick and get a fever which made him start to believe in magic. Then when he was still recovering he started to mix science fact with magic, and then he freaked out when he realized what he was saying.
    • Justified since his family placed him under a spell that made him skeptical of anything paranormal to ensure that he wouldn't figure out that his sister had supernatural powers. After Chapter 106 it wore off due to being under the effect of a stronger spell. Although this wasn't discussed until Chapter 125.
  • Attack Its Weak Point: How he defeated the Northern Leader.
  • Balloon Belly: When Suzu gave him CPR.
  • Berserk Button: Saying "It's impossible." to his face.
  • Big Damn Heroes: On one memorable occasion, he saved Ayane and Michiru from an enraged Taiga, the Northern leader, by throwing his sword to hit Taiga's weak point. He also brought lunch.
  • Butt-Monkey: At times.
  • Chick Magnet: Being the only human male in the island helps.
  • Clueless Chick-Magnet: If there are other men around, he is considered as this.
  • Identical Stranger: He resembles Takatora, Suzu's father.
  • Imagine Spot: Has a few.
  • Groin Attack: He gets because he doesn't believe Tohno is a kappa.
  • Lap Pillow:
    • He is the pillow for Machi while she is sick and vice versa.
    • And for Suzu because she asked him which causes a three way brawl for his lap...
  • Made of Iron: In the beginning he would actually have to rest a day after being beaten to a pulp.
    • Now he can fight all 4 guardians, fall in a river, get eaten by a fish, and still be perfectly fine the next day. He has come a VERY long way.
    • He may have always been this. He drifted at sea for 7 days without any food or water with no visible discomfort. He may have just been recovering from that still in the get go which explains how weak he was in the beginning.
  • Never Got to Say Goodbye: to his family.
  • Oblivious to Love: A Celibate Hero hero, he sincerely thinks that the only reason the girls are after him is because of Gender Rarity Value.
  • Please Put Some Clothes On: He says this to Suzu mostly because he lives with her, but he says it to just about every girl in his Unwanted Harem at one point or another.
  • Red Herring: In the second Beniyasha Story Arc.
  • The Runaway: Type 2 beacause of his dad.
  • Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: His swordsmanship is outstanding, but he sucks at ball games.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: That's how his Unwanted Harem developed romantic feelings or a crush on him
  • Took a Level in Badass: The reason he became a hero.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Curry.
  • Training from Hell: He had this in the past from his grandfather.
  • Weak, but Skilled: He is one of the physically weakest people on the island, at least at first more arguable now, but that does not stop him from defeating his opponents.
  • Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: He often uses a wooden sword whenever he's fighting.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Ikuto is acrophobic, meaning scared of heights.

Suzu

Voiced by: Yui Horie (Drama CD/Anime)

The main female protagonist of the series. The first person Ikuto met on the island and is thus the closest to him and lets him live together at her house.

  • The Ace: She's great at everything except studying.
  • Balloon Belly: Suzu in episode 2.
  • Berserk Button: Getting between her and mame daifuku, her favorite food.

  • CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: When she tried to use it to save Ikuto, Hilarity Ensues.
  • Cute Little Fang: Rarely shown though.
  • Death Glare: She unknowingly shows it when people start to hit on Ikuto.
  • "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: 4 of 5 of the songs were played by her seiyuu.
  • Does Not Like Spam: Does not like spicy foods
  • Embarrassing Damp Sheets: Until just a year or so.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: With Ayane.
  • Genius Ditz: For some reason, she can easily wipe the floor with everyone on the island - all at once.
  • My Beloved Smother: She acts like one to Tonkatsu.
  • Stepford Smiler: She was Type A. A few years before Ikuto arrived, her father (with the rest of the men) disappeared. Then she was left under Karaage's care because her mother disappeared.
  • Yandere: Just not the stab-with-a-knife kind.

Ayane

Voiced by: Yukari Tamura (Drama CD), Saeko Chiba (Anime)

Machi's younger sister and training to be a miko. Frequently becomes the subject of her sister's experiments or physical abuse and misfortune in general.

  • A-Cup Angst: Does not like to be reminded that she's flat. Suzu even exploits this to bring her to her.
  • Accidental Kiss: With Ikuto.
  • Always Someone Better: Suzu and Machi is this for her.
  • Butt-Monkey: She's the island's biggest source of misfortune inflicted on her and a frequent target of Machi's pranks, experiments and retribution.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Became one after she really falls in love with Ikuto rather than in lust with him.
  • Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: She just blurts her plans out loud and hopes no one hears them. Being the Butt-Monkey they usually do.
  • Failure Is the Only Option: Her plans never work out the way she hoped. Unless it comes to pranking. Not even Genjuumaru, a tanuki prankster spirit, can outdo her.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: With Suzu.
  • Identical Grandchild: She's one for her grandmother, Kikyou.
  • Identical Stranger: According to Ikuto and Misaki, she looks like their cousin who is also named Ayane.
  • Iron Butt-Monkey: Thanks to being inflicted by all sorts of physical abuse and misfortune, she's the island's most resilient resident.
  • Made of Iron: Proved by this:

    (Ayane falls face-first from a cliff.)

    Suzu: Jya. Let's go Ikuto.

    Ikuto: Is it alright not to do anything!!

    Suzu: It's alright, it's alright. If it's only that much, Ayane is totally fine.

    Ikuto (Sweat Dropping): Only that much...?

  • Trademark Favorite Food: Anything spicy, the more hot the better. Also because Machi won't eat anything spicy.

Machi

Voiced by: Masumi Asano (Drama CD), Mikako Takahashi (Anime)

Ayane's older sister and a strong Miko. Can use powerful spells and she's friends with lots of shikigamis she can summon.

  • Aside Glance: She loves doing this.
  • Berserk Button: Insulting her about her age once, shame on her; insulting her about her age consecutively, prepare for the worst.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: A highly-gifted miko, but...yeah.
  • The Collector of the Strange: She collects brooms.
  • Create Your Own Villain: She released Genjumaro.
  • Does Not Like Spam: Specifically she does not like spicy foods. Ayane developed a taste for spicy food for precisely thsi reason, it's the one thing she doesn't have to worry about Machi taking.
  • Evil Laugh: Shows us how to do it right.
  • Harem Seeker: Inverted. If her dream is to be believed, she wants one for Ikuto. As long as she is his legal wife and others are just concubines, and she gets to have his baby first, its OK for him to have other girls.
  • Hidden Buxom: Her miko attire belies a figure that's among the most voluptuous of Ikuto's primary suitresses.
  • Identical Grandchild: Is this with her great-grandmother Yashiro.
  • Identical Stranger: According to both Ikuto and Misaki, she looks like their cousin who is also named Machi.
  • It Amused Me: Her reason for doing everything she's doing. She even lampshades it herself at one point.
  • Lap Pillow: She is the pillow for Ikuto while he is sick and vice versa.
  • Lethal Chef:
    • In the Manga, she leaves behind a truly frightening mess of what used to be the kitchen that some unlucky soul has to clean up.
    • In the Anime, she makes a LOT of food, and she won't let you leave until you eat it ALL of it.
  • Older Than They Look: She is 18 years old, but is also shorter than Ayane and baby-faced. However, betraying her visage is a developed body befitting a girl her age that's typically hidden by her usual shrine maiden attire. Just don't say she's old.
  • Pintsized Powerhouse: She's the most powerful and most skilled fighter in Ikuto's Unwanted Harem while also the shortest barring Yukino.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: One of her favorite hobbies.

Rin

Voiced by: Yuu Asakawa (Drama CD), Ryōko Shiraishi (Anime)

The physically strongest female of the island working as an apprentice carpenter. She's frequently shown to be the second closest to Ikuto.

  • Charles Atlas Superpower: In terms of physical strength, she's the strongest human in the island.
  • Cute Clumsy Girl: Unfortunately her occupation of being a carpenter makes it dangerous to everyone.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: Prior to Ikuto's arrival, to her dismay Rin was on the receiving end of unwanted sexual interest from some girls (Mikoto being the prime example) due to her tomboyish qualities, which led her to start taking baths by her lonesome following incidents in group baths. Ikuto's presence on the island ended up being a boon for her as he diverted their attentions, except for Mikoto, towards him. In fact, her initial reason to sought out Ikuto for marriage before developing deeper feelings for him was to ward off the female attention for good.
    • Her choice of attire does not help the matter.
  • Incompatible Orientation: She doesn't reciprocate the interest of Mikoto and some of the other girls pre-Ikuto because she's only attracted to boys.
  • Statuesque Stunner: In addition to her good looks she's also the tallest of Ikuto's suitresses let alone the main cast, towering Ikuto at 170 cm to his 151 cm.
  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Tomboyish traits aside, she does have interests and qualities usually considered feminine such as dressing up (albeit in secret due to her insecurity) and stereotypical domestic skills (cooking and sewing). Additionally, she's also somewhat self-conscious about her perceived lack of femininity.
  • Through His Stomach: While the other girls do this too, she's the first to think of it.

Chikage

Voiced by: Ai Nonaka (Drama CD), Shizuka Itō (Anime)

Lives in a western style mansion and loves to study the outside world from objects and books that drift in.
