About this title

Synopsis

Little Busters!' story revolves around the main protagonist Riki Naoe, a young male high school student. When Riki was a child, his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed. What saved him was a group of his friends who referred to themselves as the Little Busters; they took Riki out and played together with him during his time of need. He really enjoyed playing with them, and his grief gradually faded away. When the story begins, they are in their second year of the high school they attend. They still hang out together, and enjoy their school life. (Source: Wikipedia)

Height: 145 cm Weight: 37 kg BWH: 69-51-72 Birthday: 12 June 1991 Birth Name: Kudryavka Anatolyevna Strugatskaya (Кудрявка Анатольевна Стругацкая) Kudryavka, also known as "Kud" for short, is a girl who is a quarter Japanese, and three-quarters Russian. Her grandfather was crazy about Japanese culture and per his influence on her, she came to know much about the Japanese culture, including the language. She is very bad in English, though. She is Riki's classmate and is in the home economics club. Kudryavka has two dogs named Strelka and Belka . The hat and cloak that she wears were handmade. She spent most of her childhood traveling around the world, and her home country is a small, southern nation closer to the equator; this is the reason for her hat and cloak—she finds Japan cold due to her country's climate. Her favorite phrase is "wafuu!" (Source: Wikipedia)

External profile
Height: 170 cm Weight: 55 kg BWH: 90-60-89 Yuiko is Riki's classmate who has a self-sufficient personality. She is sometimes seen carrying a replica of a katana. She is seen as an older sister to everyone despite being the same age of almost the entire cast, and is referred to as Anego (姉御, "elder sister") by Haruka. She is fond of things or people she considers to be cute, such as several of the female cast of characters. She gets high grades in school and is especially gifted in mathematics. She was born outside of Japan, but is still entirely Japanese. She was given the birth name of Elizabeth which would often be shortened to Lizbeth as a nickname but does not share this as she prefers to be referred as Kurugaya.
Rin Natsume673 fan favorites
External profile
Height: 153 cm Weight: 43 kg BWH: 77-54-80 Rin is the main heroine in the story. She is the younger sister of Kyousuke Natsume and is the only female member out of the five original members of the Little Busters. She does not communicate well and is seen as inarticulate. Due to this, she is anti-social, and is usually seen alone. When playing baseball with the others, Rin is an ace pitcher, although she used to be quite a bad pitcher — her throws would go in completely unpredictable directions — until she gets into a baseball stand-off between Sasami, where she demonstrates two "super-power" pitches, where one of them is a fastball and the other one is her own version of a changeup. Rin loves cats and at school takes care of several strays; it is not uncommon for several cats to crawl onto her. MAJOR SPOILER

Height: 159 cm Weight: 45 kg BWH: 83-57-84 Komari is very childish, taking great interest in fairy-tales, picture books, candy, and clothing with many layers of frills. She is very clumsy, and will often not think before she acts. She does well in her studies and is also surprisingly athletic, though this is somewhat hampered by the fact that she is quite weak and has never done any sport properly before.

Mio Nishizono149 fan favorites

Kengo Miyazawa67 fan favorites
External profile
Height: 180 cm Weight: 72 kg Birthday: April 30 Kengo is a member of the Little Busters. He is skilled in the art of kendo and has a cynical personality, but his passion for the Little Busters is unmatched by anyone when he really opens up. He carries an air of honor and sophistication, complementing the physical prowess he evinces in being (self-allegedly) undefeated in 100 matches of kendo. On the other hand, he can be quite naive and childish. Just like the others, all he wants is to have fun. Still, he tends to wear a calm, mature facade, acting as a tsukkomi for the most part.
