About “Dandadan” in a few words:

Dandadan is a comedy-action rollercoaster. Okarun, nerdy alien believer, meets Momo, tough ghost fan. They clash, challenge beliefs and hilarity ensues. Expect bizarre battles and heartwarming moments. This series is a gem for fans of totally unconventional storytelling. You won’t regret diving in (unless you hate fun, then maybe stay away).

Meet the characters from Dandadan

Momo Ayase

Momo is this explosive, can’t-help-it, punch-first-ask-questions-later heroine and honestly I love her. She’s stubborn as a brick and oddly practical—will plan a tactical assault and then cry about her shoelaces (true story, maybe). Loves ghost stuff, hates being told “calm down” (as if anyone can), and has this weird habit of carrying about three different snacks in her pockets because preparedness is a personality trait. She’s fierce but also kind-of-sarcastic and somehow terrible at explaining her feelings, which makes her even more endearing.

Ken Takakura

Ken is the quiet brainiac who believes in aliens like it’s a religion, and yes he has graphs in a notebook somewhere, probably sticky-tabbed. He’s methodical, a little dramatic in private, and somehow both nerdy and alarmingly competent in a fight — like he calculates the trajectory of a punch while ordering ramen. He’ll correct your conspiracy theory and then hand you a bandage with a smile (don’t ask how they relate). Cool, a tiny bit awkward, and genuinely loyal; also allegedly allergic to small talk but collects keychains, which is delightfully contradictory.

Acrobatic Silky

Silky moves like someone made gravity nervous — it’s all flips and elegant chaos, you can almost hear the whoosh every time she turns a corner. She barely speaks, which is weirdly louder than words, and she leaves sparkles of mischief in her wake (literally? maybe not literally, but like, vibes). Secretly soft, occasionally clumsy — like drop-your-phone-while-doing-a-backflip clumsy — which makes her way more human than you’d expect. Mysterious, acrobatic, a little impatient with explanations, and I swear she has a favorite hat she never, ever wears.

Seiko Ayase

Seiko is the kind of older-sibling/guardian energy that dishes out tough love and warm cookies in equal measure, except sometimes the cookies are suspiciously powerful. Sharp, decisive, and oddly sentimental about old cassette tapes, she balances being a strategist and a mom-figure with weird efficiency. She’s definitely done something reckless in her past that she refuses to talk about (or forgets she shouldn’t), which gives her this layered, quietly heroic vibe. Practical and sometimes hilariously blunt, but she will read an emotional room better than anyone else.

Jin Enjouji

Jin is smooth and a little theatrical — think someone who shows up to trouble wearing sunglasses at night because why not. He carries this dangerous calm, like he’s catalogued every possible outcome and still chose the most chaotic one for fun, which is equal parts infuriating and magnetic. Loyal to a fault, but he has odd hobbies (collecting broken watches? writing bad poems?) that pop up when you least expect. Mysterious past, sharp sense of humor, and a tendency to show up exactly when things get weird — he thrives on that, honestly.

Aira Shiratori

Aira is quietly intense, the kind of person who notices small details and files them away like they’re clues in a game only she understands. There’s an eerie grace to her — serious in public, but she has this bizarre impulse to hum show tunes at inconvenient hours, which makes no sense and I adore it. She’s clever and sometimes a little manipulative but not cruel, more like someone who prefers efficiency over drama and will roll her eyes at your melodrama. Slightly unpredictable (one minute composing a plan, next minute buying a rubber duck), she keeps things interesting.

Turbo Granny

Turbo Granny is absolute chaos in the best way — knitting needles in one hand, a turbocharged scooter in the other, and zero patience for nonsense. She bakes cookies that might be magical? Maybe, go with it — and then zooms off to fight bad guys while humming an old pop tune. Tough as nails, surprisingly spry, and prone to telling embarrassing stories about her youth at the worst possible moments, which somehow wins everyone over. She’s great, ridiculous, fearless, and also suspiciously up-to-date on slang she doesn’t really understand but uses anyway.
