Main characters
Misaki Suzuhara46 fan favoritesExternal profileMisaki is a very timid, sweet-tempered, and kind 12 year old girl who has just moved to Tokyo to live with her aunt. She had been living with her grandparents in Wakayama while she went to elementary school, but saved up money that her mother had been sending her while she was away so she could afford to go to middle school in Tokyo. She also worries about the fact that she is small and unathletic, and is sometimes mistaken to be in elementary school, but sees Angelic Layer as a way to prove to others and herself that there is nothing wrong with being small. She started playing Angelic Layer after seeing the white angel Athena on a video screen outside of Tokyo Station. Her angel is Hikaru and she is known as the 'Miracle Rookie'. (Source: Wikipedia)

Ohjiro Mihara16 fan favoritesExternal profileOhjiro Mihara is Ichiro(Icchan) Mihara's younger stepbrother. He has been involved with Angelic Layer for many years, in a large part because it was what brought him and Icchan together after their parents married each other. Ohjiro competes in Kobe and has been the champion of the Kansai Regional games, as well as being the runner-up in the national tournament for two consecutive years. He has a desperate desire to defeat Shuko Suzuhara's angel Athena to get over a childhood crush he had on her. His angel is Wizard, his special ability is Magic Guard. In the anime Ohjiro and Misaki even go on a date in episode 22. Then it is not until episode 23 that he confesses to Misaki that he is falling in love with her. Wikipedia.com
Hatoko Kobayashi12 fan favoritesExternal profileHatoko is a 5 year old known as the "miracle kindergartner" and is Misaki's best friend and Angelic Layer mentor. Even at a very young age, she is extremely intelligent, mature, and hard-working. She is an expert at Angelic Layer, often winning her games in mere seconds. She wins all ten of her games at the Tokyo prefecture games, and is the defending champion of the Kantō regional games. She is fiercely competitive, working to increase her angel's speed and power often. She also likes to poke fun at her brother Kotaro for his apparent ineptness when it comes to his crush on Misaki. Hatoko's angel is Suzuka. (from Wikipedia)
Tamayo Kizuki7 fan favoritesExternal profileTamayo is 12 years old and is a friend and classmate of Misaki. She nicknames Misaki "Misakichi" and is rather eccentric. One of her favorite activities is practicing her martial arts techniques on her unwilling friend Kotaro. She always loudly cheers for Misaki at Angelic Layer matches and defends her against those who question her ability. It is later revealed that Tamayo has always held intimate feelings for Kotaro, which may be one reason why she always added "chan" (which Kotaro complains is only meant for "girls and little kids") to the end of his name instead of "kun", despite him being in middle school. She offers to be Misaki's "second" in her national game match against the Angelic Layer Company's angel due to Hatoko becoming ill before Misaki accepts Ohjiro's offer to be her second.

Kotarou Kobayashi3 fan favoritesExternal profileKotaro is a 12 year old middle school classmate of Misaki, whom he has a crush on, as well as Hatoko's brother. He is always being assaulted by Tamayo and her various martial arts techniques, which he has been a victim of since he was four years old. He becomes jealous of Ohjiro's advances towards Misaki, going so far as to try to attempt to play a quasi-match of Angelic Layer against Ohjiro, despite the fact that he had never played it before. His family owns a karate dojo and Kotaro has practiced karate some himself, showing Misaki some of his knowledge in hopes that Misaki can use it to help Hikaru win. (from Wikipedia)
