Da Capo

edit

Original main characters

edit
Jun'ichi Asakura (朝倉 純一, Asakura Jun'ichi)
Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (drama CD), Mamiko Noto (young, drama CD), Yūki Tai (anime), Reiko Takagi (young, anime)
Jun'ichi is the protagonist of Da Capo. The player assumes his role as a student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 3-1. While he loathes trouble and bothers, he seldom turns his back on someone in need. Jun'ichi has the ability to utilize magic although he can only create wagashi at the expense of his body's calories, a trick taught to him by his and Sakura's grandmother. Like the other characters, Jun'ichi is affected by the unwilting sakura tree, from which he gained his power to observe the dreams of other characters. He is one of the two returning characters in Da Capo II Voiced by: Daichi Kiryu / Chō. Otome and Yume from Da Capo II are his and Nemu's granddaughters. Hoping to relieve the worries of his granddaughters from losing Yoshiyuki, Jun'ichi fuses with the sakura tree after Sakura Yoshino too. Jun'ichi's hair was light brown in the first season and black in the second and as well as the original game. He is unvoiced in all game releases except for the DVD-PGs and his first name is customizable in the original game.
Nemu Asakura (朝倉 音夢, Asakura Nemu)
Voiced by: Kanon Torii (PC), Sakura Nogawa (anime/P.S.), Agumi Oto (Circusland I/D.C.P.K)
Nemu is a student of Kazami affiliated junior high, class 3-1, and later enrolls in a nursing school. She is Jun'ichi's adopted sister, and is actually in love with him. She is jealous when any other girl shows Jun'ichi particular attention and uses 'accidental' violence to interfere with the perceived affection. She wears a bell as an accessory which was given to her by Jun'ichi when they were young. When her mood turns sour, she becomes excessively polite and antisocial, a condition that Jun'ichi calls "hidden Nemu" (裏音夢, Ura Nemu). Her cooking is described as lethal, to the point that Jun'ichi quietly calls her the "Murderous Chef" (殺人シェフ, Satsujin Shefu). Nemu has a pen pal named "lovely burning", whose real name is Sayaka Shirakawa. Her ending is considered to be canonical as it leads to the Second Season and Da Capo II. In the second season, Nemu is a nurse-in-training; she and Jun'ichi get married at the end of the series. Otome and Yume from D.C. II are her and Jun'ichi's granddaughters. In Da Capo Innocent Finale, she can be either dead or alive depending on the route taken. The cause of Nemu's constant illness is also revealed to be her wish to always be together with Jun'ichi which was granted by the sakura tree in a twisted sort of way. The best ending in Da Capo Innocent Finale is that she survives and, along with Sakura Yoshino, attends Jun'ichi's wedding to bless the addition of Kotori to the Asakura family.
Sakura Yoshino (芳乃 さくら, Yoshino Sakura)
Voiced by: Minami Hokuto (PC), Yukari Tamura (anime/P.S.)
Sakura is the primary protagonist throughout all the series. She is a student in Kazami affiliated junior high class 3-3. She is Jun'ichi's elder cousin and was his first love. She is a very lively girl who, much to Nemu's dismay, shows great affection towards Jun'ichi. She is sometimes seen with Utamaru and understands what it says. While she is older than Jun'ichi, she addresses him as onii-chan (お兄ちゃん, meaning "older-brother"), hoping that Jun'ichi will act like an elder brother towards her. While sporting a great love for Japanese culture, she appears to be more of the mistaken foreigner. She has an IQ of 180, but she's inept with kanji due to having grown up in America. She inherited their grandmother's magical abilities. Despite the passing of several years since she left, her appearance on her return was unchanged from what Jun'ichi and Nemu remembered. This was explained to be the result of her wish to the sakura tree to remain the same so that she would always be as Jun'ichi remembered.
She is one of the two returning characters in Da Capo II, where she is now the principal of Kazami, the school Yoshiyuki goes attends. She still has a childlike appearance despite being in her sixties. In the second season of D.C. II, Sakura is shown to be unsure of the continuing closeness between Yume, Otome and Yoshiyuki. She is revealed to be related to Yoshiyuki in an obscure way; he was created by the sakura tree which granted her a wish when she was lonely and needed company (and is in effect the son that Sakura and Jun'ichi never had). The dire effects of the sakura tree are seen to worsen over time as the town starts to experience a greater frequency of fire outbreaks. This greatly worries Sakura and Otome. In the end of the anime, Sakura fuses with the magic sakura tree to prevent it from withering and causing Yoshiyuki, her most precious wish, from disappearing.
In Da Capo Innocent Finale, she plays a great role in saving both Nemu Asakura and Jun'ichi Asakura from their demise. In Da Capo III, she returns to life 20 years after the incident at the sakura tree, but has lost all her memories. She grows fond of Kiyotaka Yoshino and Ricca Morizono.
Kotori Shirakawa (白河 ことり, Shirakawa Kotori)
Voiced by: Yura Hinata (PC), Yui Horie (anime/P.S.)
Kotori is a student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 3-3 and the school's idol. Through the power of the magical sakura tree, she can hear other people's thoughts, but she carefully hides this ability. She became close to Jun'ichi because he was the only one of the male student body who did not try to idolize her. In the anime's first season, she is Sakura's classmate. She is also the younger adoptive sister of Koyomi Shirakawa, Jun'ichi's homeroom teacher. In the game, it is mentioned that she was adopted into the Shirakawa family, and is the cousin of Sayaka Shirakawa from Suika. Jun'ichi and Kotori get married at the end of D.C.I.F. (Da Capo Innocent Finale).
Miharu Amakase (天枷 美春, Amakase Miharu)
Voiced by: Hiyori Haruno (PC/W.S.), Rumiko Sasa (after D.C.P.C.), Akemi Kanda (anime/P.S.)[1]
Miharu is a student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 1-2. She became a childhood friend of Nemu and Jun'ichi after Sakura left, being one year younger than them. She loves eating bananas. She adores Nemu, and behaves much like a little puppy around her; in fact, her nickname is Puppy (わんこ, Wanko). In the original game, an android patterned after Miharu took her place after an accident rendered Miharu comatose. Having no experience of the real world beyond certain memories copied from the real Miharu, Jun'ichi was tasked by Koyomi to look after her. Like the real Miharu her enthusiasm often overrules her common sense, and Jun'ichi often has to get her out of sight when her circuits start to overload. As an android, her power sources include bananas, solar energy, and a spring motor that needs to be wound up periodically using a key inserted into a hole on her back. At the end of the game and the first season of the anime, the robot's life span runs out and she stops functioning, spending her last moments with Jun'ichi. Sometime after that, the original Miharu regains consciousness and is reunited with everyone.
Moe Mizukoshi (水越 萌, Mizukoshi Moe)
Voiced by: Himawari Natsuno (PC), Yui Itsuki (anime/P.S.)
Moe is a student of Kazami senior high class 1-2; a gentle girl who is often seen throughout the series sitting on the roof at lunchtime cooking and eating Japanese steamboat dishes with her younger sister Mako. She is very knowledgeable about them and is often seen carrying a small xylophone. She speaks rather slowly and is very polite but can be dim-witted at times and can fall asleep anywhere at any time, even when she's walking. In the game, this was explained to be due to her constantly taking sleeping pills so that she can keep dreaming, through the powers of the magical sakura tree, of meeting a boy whom she liked but who died in a traffic accident long ago.
Mako Mizukoshi (水越 眞子, Mizukoshi Mako)
Voiced by: Minami Nagasaki (PC), Yuki Matsuoka (anime/P.S.)
Mako is a student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 3-1. She is a close friend of Nemu and is often concerned about her. She has a temper and Asakura is the person who most frequently makes her angry, but she still secretly likes him. She is often found quarreling with Suginami as he teases her. During lunch, she can often be found on the school rooftop with her sister Moe enjoying nabemono. She plays the soprano flute in the music club. She and her sister Moe are daughters of the local hospital director and they have a younger brother.
Suginami (杉並)
Voiced by: Shin Azuma (PC), Daisuke Kishio (anime/P.S.)
Suginami is a student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 3-1 and the school troublemaker. Although he is an excellent athlete, a top student, and good-looking, his eccentric personality causes most people to keep their distance from him. He enjoys teasing Mako and dragging Jun'ichi into various situations. In Da Capo II, he plays a similar role and is Yoshiyuki Sakurai's classmate. In Da Capo III, Suginami is Kiyotaka Yoshino's schoolmate. He is cheeky, mature and intelligent. He is the leader of school's unofficial newspaper club which makes him and Ricca Morizono's rival. It's said his family has run the unofficial newspaper club for more than fifty years. His existence in each era is shadow in mystery.
Misaki/Yoriko Sagisawa (鷺澤 美咲/頼子, Sagisawa Misaki/Yoriko)
Voiced by: Junko Kusayanagi (PC), Miyu Matsuki (anime/P.S.)
Misaki is a sickly young girl who stays at home, looking out at the world through her window, and Yoriko is her cat. In the game, the magical sakura tree grants her wish, and she possesses Yoriko's body, which transforms into a copy of her original body, but with cat ears. In the anime, Yoriko jumps out of Misaki's window to see the world in her place, and is transformed into a human maid resembling Misaki with cat ears. Yoriko develops a fear of people after an incident with some children shortly after she transforms. Her storyline details her efforts in settling in as a maid as well as slowly venturing into the outside world.

Voiced by: Ui Miyazaki (S.S./F.S./D.C.II. P.S.)
Aisia appears in the D.C.S.G. manga and the D.C.S.S. anime.

Aisia came to Hatsunejima to study magic with Sakura's grandmother, with her hopes crushed upon hearing that she has already died. Although she has knowledge of how to use magic, her control of her capabilities and her judgment are, at best, erratic. She firmly believes that magic can and should be used for the good of all, something her own grandmother always practiced. Her presence and antics were mentioned in D.C.II, making D.C.S.G./S.S. part of the official timeline. She also appears as a character in D.C.II. P.S..

Yoshiyuki Sakurai (桜内義之, Sakurai Yoshiyuki)
Voiced by: Mikado Sumeragi, Rina Misaki (young) / Shintarō Asanuma, Shizuka Itō (young)
Yoshiyuki is the protagonist of Da Capo II as the student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 3-3. The son Sakura and Jun'ichi never had, brought into existence by the new unwilting sakura tree. His name refers to this as well as it can be taken to mean "Yoshiyuki born from within Sakura". Like Jun'ichi, Yoshiyuki can create wagashi with magic. He also appears to be able to see either the future or peoples desires and dreams when he himself is asleep, as shown when at the beginning of a couple episodes in the anime version where it shows a dream he is sharing with someone and later when the actual event occurs and he recognizes the relation between the reality and his dream. In the anime, Yoshiyuki is depicted to be very caring about people around him. His actions as such frequently results in girls misunderstanding his helpful nature as signs of confession. Yoshiyuki is very insensitive to the people, especially the feelings of girls surrounding him. It is also not clear who he harbours feelings for even though he accepted Koko's confession and even dated her in the first season but later breaks up with her. In the second season, Yoshiyuki becomes closer to his two Asakura step-sisters Otome and Yume.
Otome Asakura (朝倉音姫, Asakura Otome)
Voiced by: Ai Hinaki / Ayahi Takagaki
Otome is one of Jun'ichi and Nemu's granddaughters. She is the student of Kazami senior high class 2-3 and the chairman of the student council. She refers to Yoshiyuki as "otōto-kun", meaning "little brother". Otome inherited her grandfather's magical abilities. Otome seems to be one of the two persons, besides Sakura, to have known that Yoshiyuki was created due to the a wish upon the Sakura tree. It is not clear whether Otome's feelings for Yoshiyuki are that of a brother or more but in the second season it was hinted that her feelings for him are greater than that of a brother. In the first season of the anime, Otome is portrayed as a caring elder sister to Yoshiyuki and also a very responsible council member in school, to the extent of falling sick in worries of matters regarding Minatsu. In the second season of the anime, Otome is shown to be very reserved when she was young only to become more open with the help of Yoshiyuki. They then share a promise to be whole-heartedly together. Otome is seen to care very much for Yoshiyuki and his daily affairs. This is shown when Yoshiyuki has an upcoming play where he is to play the main character. She forced Yoshiyuki to practice with her every night just to perfect his skills. Otome describes herself as a 'Magician of Justice' and has overwhelming passion to uphold what is right and what is wrong. However, Otome is shown to be very emotional in her part. This is depicted when she replaces Koko as the female lead in the Puppet show where she cried while acting out her role. In the Otome's route in the game, Otome and Yoshiyuki get married and have a daughter named Yuuki.
Yume Asakura (朝倉由夢, Asakura Yume)

Yume is the student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 2-1. She is Otome's younger sister, and one of Jun'ichi and Nemu's granddaughters. Her first name literally means "dream." Due to her magician blood, she sees the future in her dreams. In the first season of the anime, Yume's accommodating personality is portrayed when she easily became friends with Minatsu. Yume is also there to support Minatsu in times of trouble and also show signs of defensiveness towards Minatsu when others found out about the latter being a robot. In the second season of the anime, Yume is depicted to be rather lonely after Minatsu leaves the school. However, she puts on an independent front when in front of others, especially around Yoshiyuki. Yume is also shown to harbor romantic feelings for Yoshiyuki and is shown on a few occasions to convey her feelings indirectly by asking Yoshiyuki out. However, Yoshiyuki does not seem to know about it.

Like Kotori in the previous game, she has the power to read minds (due to a wish granted by the magical sakura tree), but only when she is touching the person whose mind she wants to read. She starts to fall in love with Yoshiyuki when he starts being genuinely worried about her and helps her when she is picked on by other girls for playing with guys' feelings (even though those are just jealous rumors), but later she finds out he was worried about her not because he liked her, but because he saw her as a good friend. In the manga, she rents a room at Yoshiyuki's household and tries to capture his affections.
Minatsu Amakase (天枷美夏, Amakase Minatsu)
Voiced by: Arisu Kagami / Sayaka Aoki
Minatsu is the student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 2-1, a robot who runs on bananas, but claims to hate them. She is upset over the fact that she is a robot but does not have a rocket punch. Like the android Miharu from 'Da Capo', one of her power sources is a spring motor that needs to be wound periodically (also with a key inserted into a hole on her back), though doing so causes Minatsu to experience a sensation similar to Sexual arousal. In the first season of the anime, Minatsu is friends with Yume. She also claims to hate humans in the beginning stages of the anime but starts to fully understand that not all humans are like that. After the school finds out that she is a robot, people became wary of her. Although she acts as if nothing has happened, in reality she is really depressed about the matter. Subsequently, the school became impressed with her courage and determination and the whole school even pleads for the school to not expel her. However, she was expelled but gets to attend a graduation ceremony arranged by the Students' Council. She was touched by the actions of Yoshiyuki and the others and graduates in a high note. In the second season of the anime, it is not known where she went. However, in the visual novel's Minatsu route, she decides to return to sleep then she wakes to a time when robots and humans have a more amicable relationship. Two years and a few months later she regains consciousness and is finally able to attend school on a trial set up by society for robot integration.

In the anime, she is best friends with Koko and occasionally hangs out with Yoshiyuki. In the second season, it is revealed that Anzu was abandoned by her parents when she was young and was adopted by a kind woman who she addressed as grandmother. The latter subsequently died when Anzu enrolls in middle school. She starts to open more towards Yoshiyuki and seems to trust Yoshiyuki a great deal into revealing her family and personal background.

Only after much persuasion from Yoshiyuki, does she smiles. Koko also has a forgiving personality as shown when she has a quarrel with Yoshiyuki when they were young but forgives Yoshiyuki after he apologized.
