Meet the characters from Toilet-bound Hanako-kun

Hanako

Hanako is this oddly charming ghost legend who rules the girl’s bathroom but treats it like his own little kingdom — moody sovereign, dramatic cape energy and all. He’s equal parts mysterious and silly, like he’ll give you a solemn prophecy and then steal your snack five minutes later (not a good roommate but very entertaining). Protective to the point of stubbornness, he’s got rules and rituals and weird old-school manners, but also a soft spot that sneaks out at the worst possible times. He claims to be bound by duty and destiny and then acts like a bratty kid who’s allergic to bedtime, which honestly makes him even more lovable.

Nene Yashiro

Nene is basically the heart of the group — awkwardly earnest, crush-fueled, and surprisingly resilient when the universe tries to mess with her. She starts off all flustered and confused (like who wouldn’t be, being tied to a bathroom ghost?) but grows into this brave, stubborn weirdo who will argue with fate and still forget where she put her phone. She collects hair accessories and feelings in equal measure, cries at small things, and will also absolutely punch a monster if you give her a reason. Endearing, loud in her head, soft in the middle, and slightly clumsy in a heroic way.

Kou Minamoto

Kou is the silver-haired exorcist kid who tries so hard to be calm and professional but ends up being adorably awkward instead — like imagine disciplined training mixed with major social confusion. He’s earnest, reliable, and has this tendency to narrate his own anxieties out loud, which is somehow both sweet and chaotic. Protective streak? Huge. He can be prickly and serious about his duties while simultaneously freaking out over the dumbest little things, like whether his uniform matches his mood.

Teru Minamoto

Teru is the older-bro type who’s equal parts grumpy guardian and actual soft marshmallow if you prod him the right way; very loud protector energy. He’s intense about exorcism protocols and family pride but will also roll his eyes and hand you ramen like the only therapy he knows. Definitely hot-headed, dramatic sighs are his second language, and he low-key broods but will defend his friends like it’s a professional obligation with glitter. He likes to lecture but then forgets the point mid-sentence, which is honestly kind of his charm.

Aoi Akane

Aoi is this cool, no-nonsense presence who quietly holds chaos together, like the friend who brings snacks and a plan and also a questionable sense of humor. She gives off strong tomboy vibes and will challenge you to a staring contest over a strategic advantage, then immediately apologize if you blink first. Brave and observant, she notices the small, creepy details most people miss, and she has this weird habit of humming to herself when thinking (don’t ask what she hums — it changes). Occasionally shows a softer, unexpectedly girly side that confuses everyone, including herself.

Tsukasa Yugi

Tsukasa is the wild card twin — sugar-sweet smile with a hair-trigger for chaos, like a child with a knapsack full of mischief and razor-sharp whims. He’s playful and creepy at once, loving games that make other people nervous and then being inexplicably affectionate right after (he probably collects tiny toys and tiny grudges). Dangerous in a whimsical way, he delights in upending the rules but also has these flashing moments of real, baffling tenderness that sneak through the madness. You never quite know if he’s joking or plotting, and that uncertainty is basically his whole brand.
