Meet the characters from Kaichou Wa Maid Sama

Takumi Usui

Okay, Usui is that impossibly cool enigma who somehow does everything — sports, grades, teasing people to death — and still looks like he just rolled out of bed (but in a very intentional way). He’s infuriatingly observant, petty in the best way, and he’ll drop a perfectly timed smirk that ruins your life, in a charming way, honestly. There’s this weird soft side that peeks out when no one’s looking — like he’ll silently fix a problem or bring you soup, but will deny it and call you dramatic later. Also, he’s annoyingly good at anything he tries, maybe allergic to boring conversations, possibly hoards stray socks; I can’t decide if he’s a cinnamon roll or an ice queen, and that’s the point.

Misaki Ayuzawa

Misaki is full-on boss mode — student council president, strict, legendary at putting jerks in their place — with this secret double life that is both ridiculous and totally endearing (maid café, hello?). She’s fiercely independent, works way too hard, and has this “don’t mess with me” aura that melts into flustered red whenever Usui shows up, which is the cutest contradiction ever. She’s principled to a fault but also surprisingly emotional about tiny things like stray kittens or a perfectly timed apology, and she hoards stationery like a warrior queen. Also, she insists she hates sweets but will absolutely eat an entire box of chocolates if no one’s watching, don’t tell.

Aoi Hyōdō

Aoi is the bubbly friend who keeps the gossip machine running — loud, dramatic, and lovingly meddlesome, like a human confetti cannon. She’ll cheer you on in a crisis, pick your outfit (probably wrong but with conviction), and then cry at commercials for reasons you can’t explain; she’s irrational and reliable at the same time. She’s small and sparkly-looking but can hit hard with loyalty and an unexpected sharp comment when someone crosses her crew. Also, she’ll claim to hate drama but is the one making three-way plans at midnight, so, classic Aoi energy.

Sōtarō Kanō

Kano is the charming playboy-ish type who actually has a soft core if you scratch past the flirtatious grin — smooth, theatrical, maybe pretends not to care but absolutely notices everything. He’s the kind of guy who teases everyone (especially Misaki) and then brings flowers because he reads feelings like a book; also surprisingly into classic literature? Or maybe manga, I get those mixed up. He’s stylish, a little performative, and somehow more sincere than he lets on, and he absolutely owns the “I look like a model but I trip over my own feet” vibe. Tiny contradiction: will wax poetic about love and then forget his own anniversary, but that’s part of his charm.

Shōichirō Yukimura

Yukimura is the quietly earnest type — shy, serious, a little clumsy with feelings but sincere as anything, the kind of person who writes letters in his head and never sends them (except maybe once, dramatically). He supports his friends in this steady, low-key way and has this stubborn moral compass that makes him kind of a grounding force when things get chaotic. He’s awkward around crushes and overthinks everything (believe me, he overthinks), but he’s brave in small, meaningful ways like showing up when it matters. Also, he’s possibly into drawing romantic scenes at 2 a.m. and claims he’s “not romantic,” which is obviously false and adorable.
