Meet the characters from Yamada Kun and the Seven Witches

Miyabi Itou

Okay, Miyabi is that low-key elegant type who looks like she stepped out of a fashion novel but will absolutely hand you a stern reprimand and a stray post-it note at 2 a.m. — very composed, very proper, and secretly kind of fond of dramatic sighing (and maybe collecting tiny glass animals? I think?). She plays the “responsible adult” role in the group but don’t be fooled, she has a mischievous streak that pops up when she’s tired or has had too much coffee. Honestly she gives off strict-teacher energy but will bake you cookies if you’re sad (or at least pretend she made them).

Nene Odagiri

Nene is pure sparkle and chaos in the best way — equal parts gossip queen and relentless schemer, always two steps ahead with a glam smile and a plan that may or may not be morally flexible. She’s theatrical, loves attention, and has this weirdly maternal vibe where she’ll fuss over everyone then turn around and plot the next dramatic entrance. Also, she collects weird stationery? Or was it weird hats — either way, she’s the one who owns too many scarves and zero regrets. Underneath the drama she actually really cares, like a big loud teddy bear who occasionally sets off fireworks.

Leona Miyamura

Leona is deliciously mysterious — quiet, intense, probably has an entire backstory written on the inside of his hoodie that he won’t share unless bribed with chocolate. He’s the broody type with tattoos and ear piercings (or maybe that was a necklace, memory is fuzzy), soft-spoken but piercingly observant, the kind who notices the tiny things everyone else misses. He balances this tough exterior with weirdly small, tender habits — doodling flowers, humming to himself, making surprisingly good tea. Honestly, he’s one of those characters who seems distant until he’s inexplicably the first to defend you, and then you’re screwed because you’re emotionally attached.

Toranosuke Miyamura

Toranosuke is the earnest weirdo who’s probably read three self-help books and also once tried to organize a themed parade in the hallway (it failed, spectacularly, but the ribbons were beautiful). He’s oddly passionate about rules and traditions yet will break them if it means making someone laugh, and he has this grand, dramatic sense of loyalty that’s impossibly sweet. Sometimes he’s ultra-serious (like, philosopher mode) and other times he’s absolutely ridiculous — mismatched socks, puns, the whole package. He’s the kind of friend who plans emergency snack runs and sincere pep talks in equal measure.

Ryuu Yamada

Yamada is chaos incarnate but in the most lovable way — lazy delinquent vibes, brilliant at getting into trouble, and somehow, somehow always ends up saving the day (or at least making it interesting). He’s impulsive, loud, and yet shockingly perceptive when it matters; also he naps like a champion and probably owns more hoodies than is reasonable. He’s messy, loyal, and has this dumb luck charisma that gets him out of things and into people’s hearts — ramen and stubbornness fuel him. Honestly, you want him in your corner because he’ll make life a million times more unpredictable and slightly sticky.

Urara Shiraishi

Urara is the golden-rule nerd: impossibly hardworking, polite to a fault, and secretly dramatic about feelings (but she’ll hide it with a smile and a perfectly labeled binder). She’s super smart, obsessively responsible, and surprisingly clumsy in tiny romantic ways — like dropping her pencil when someone smiles at her, classic. She’s the comforting presence who studies with you at 11 p.m. and will judge your playlist gently, then forgive you with cute snacks. Also she might own seventeen pens and be oddly competitive about stationery; it’s adorable and kind of frightening.

Daichi Shinagawa

Daichi is all cool-surface, soft-core marshmallow — stoic, dependable, sometimes grumpy, but also the guy you call when you need someone to carry heavy things or explain complicated emotions in three words or fewer. He’s protective and blunt, has weirdly sharp instincts (also weirdly soft hands? I don’t know, don’t ask), and he wears the “I’d rather be asleep” look with pride. He can look intimidating but will defend his friends fiercely — and then make a terrible joke to cover the concern. Basically, secret softie with a side of low-key heroism and maybe a hidden karaoke obsession.

Noa Takigawa

Noa is pure fire — competitive, fierce, athletic, and not afraid to speak her mind, and yet she has these tiny adorable habits like hoarding stuffed animals under her bed or watching rom-coms when she’s supposedly “studying.” She’s the tomboy who will challenge you to a race and then bring snacks to the losing team, oddly tender under all that bravado. She’s blunt and honest to the point of comedy, which is refreshing, and also occasionally pathetically sentimental about sunsets (or was it sunrises? either). In short: intimidating on the outside, utterly loyal and weirdly mushy on the inside, with a baseball bat sense of justice.
