Akai Kiba Blue Sonnet -- Characters


The Heroines

Akai Kiba Blue Sonnet is that rarity -- a story with TWO main characters, both sharing equal time and importance. (And both, moreover, seemingly having stepped from the pages of one of Grandmaster Norton's novels.)

Sonnet Barje                                    Komatsuzaki Lan


Dr. Mericus

Bird

Kiryuu Jin

Wataru

Onagara Yuri

The Akai Kiba


Naru:    Lan's best friend, black-haired Naru is an outgoing and friendly person. She gets a little overexcited at times, but when she considers a person her friend she will cheerfully go all out for them. Naru was one of the students eager to draw Sonnet into their circle of friends, and one of the first to chase away the stupid punks who thought Sonnet to be a good subject for extortion. She is very fond of car races.
Her seiyuu is the famous Sakuma Rei, who is known for the voices of (among others) Amano Kazumi (Oneesama) from Top o Nerae! GunBuster, Jiji in Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Vena in Dragon Half, and Little My in Happy Moomin Family (a television series based on Tove Jansson's Finn Family Moomintroll series).

Tsuji-sensei:    The school nurse, she had the misfortune to walk in on Sonnet in circumstances which made it perfectly clear that the latter was a cyborg. Sonnet put her under compulsion and made her jump off the school roof, under Dr. Mericus' orders. It's too bad; she was a nice lady.

Dr. Onagara:    A renowned researcher into ESP and an acquaintance of a friend of Kiryuu-sensei's. Kiryuu and Lan go to him to try to learn how to control Lan's esper powers. He has a commanding personality and a burn scar on the left side of his face. There is a mystery associated with his house; for several years he has been a virtual recluse, except for one commercial connection with a subsidary of Talon.

Onagara Yumi:    Dr. Onagara's shy young granddaughter, she has dreams of the future. The precognition is always accurate.
Her voice actress is Minaguchi Yuuko, of Yawara fame.
