    Kanzo Hattori aka Hattori-kun, is the protagonist of the series, a little ninja. He is 11 years old and 40 kg and is 140 cm tall. He is the boy who usually contests Kemumaki when he performs pranks. Hattori's main weakness is that he is afraid of frogs; this often leads him into trouble. He wears blue coloured ninja robes. He always explains what a good ninja does and likes meddling in his friends' business. His powers can be compared to a master ninja. He also has a strange habit of saying ~degozaru or nin nin after almost every sentence. His girlfriend seems to be Tsubame. (Source: Wikipedia)

    Kemuzou Kemumaki is a Koga Ninja and the main antagonist of Ninja Hattori-kun. He lives in a block of flats with his cat Kagechiyo, and happens to be the opposite of Kenichi Mitsuba. He loves Yumeko, but the reason why he dislikes Kenichi is because he loves her too. However, he is scared of some of Hattori's ninja techniques, and can easily be intimidated by him. Kemumaki comes from the Koga clan, and the Ega and Koga clan are sworn rivals. Hence Kemumaki hates Hattori and challenges him often. (Source: Ninja Hattori-kun Wiki)

He is also known to cry very loudly, disturbing people and even fainting them. He is also very powerful for his age, at 7 years old.

    Yumeko-chan is the girl who usually causes disputes between Kemumaki Kemuzo and Kenichi Mitsuba. She also attends the same middle school as the two, and she is also the one who causes most of the problems of the plot as both Kemumaki and Kenichi fall in love with her and want to attract Yumeko. Most of the time she appears to be confused. Yumeko seems to be in touch with Hattori sometimes. Yumeko sees Hattori as a big brother and Shinzo as a little brother. She is also seen to like Kenichi. And sometimes people mistake her relationship with Hattori as a romantic one, though in some episodes they are seen to show romance. She is also known to play piano fairly well and hates bell peppers. (Source: Wikipedia)
