Junya Azuma (東潤也 东润也 Azuma Junya) is one of the main characters in the タコピの原罪 series. He is a highly intelligent and respected student, known for his academic excellence and social success. As Naoki Azuma's older brother, he often seemed like an ideal figure whom Naoki admired, but at the same time felt alienated by the pressure of living up to his achievements.

Although he didn't strive to be a role model, his achievements and reserved demeanor unwittingly created an emotional distance between the brothers. Despite this unintentional pressure, Junya genuinely cares about Naoki's emotional well-being and observes and responds when his younger brother is struggling, especially during moments of stress or confusion. Rather than dismiss Naoki's emotional struggles, Junya offers him quiet but meaningful support by listening, encouraging, or simply being present during difficult moments.

Junya is a young man with dyed blond hair. Although his dress code differed from most other characters, he appears to prefer casual clothing and goes barefoot.

Personality
Junya was an exceptionally brilliant student. His younger brother called him a "genius." He ranked first in the country on the aptitude test, while his brother "only" ranked second in the city. Despite his exceptional academic achievements, Junya was a quiet and popular man with a large group of friends.

He also has a sense of humor, jokingly admitting that his mother's pancakes were badly made, and above all, he was a caring older brother, giving his younger brother a lot of support (in fact, being the only one who actually gave him any) and caring about his well-being.

Fun Fact: Although he originally had black hair like his mother and younger brother, he dyed it blonde.

Personality:
Naoki was an intelligent and caring boy with strong moral principles. He was deeply concerned about his classmate and often pointed out the flaws in the actions of others. By his own admission, he especially enjoyed reading and demonstrated strong organizational skills, serving as the primary leader in organizing the group's trip to Tokyo.

However, much, if not all, of Naoki's academic resilience stems from his mother's extremely high demands, who placed enormous pressure on him and constantly compared him to his brilliant older brother, which also caused Naoki to harbor some bitterness toward the latter. Naoki's personality and self-perception were heavily influenced by the high expectations his mother placed on him from an early age. Her strict parenting style, focused on discipline, achievement, and perfection, left little room for emotional expression or personal growth beyond measurable success.

This constant pressure led Naoki to strive to live up to her expectations, which led him to adopt the same unrealistic standards. As a result, Naoki became extremely self-critical and driven by the need to prove his worth, often going beyond reasonable limits. He developed a habit of overworking himself to meet the demands he believed were necessary to gain approval. However, the emotional toll of these efforts left him mentally fragile, and he often struggled to cope with stress and disappointment; this emotional vulnerability often manifested itself in sudden outbursts of tears or anxiety when he was depressed.

Naoki Azuma (東 直樹 Azuma Naoki) is a supporting character in the タコピの原罪 series. He is a classmate of Shizuka Kuze and is depicted as an intelligent and empathetic boy who quickly understands the emotional and social difficulties Shizuka faces, particularly her isolation and the bullying she endures. Driven by compassion and caring, Naoki tries to offer her support and friendship, hoping to improve her situation, though she initially remains distant and withdrawn.

Naoki's involvement deepens when he meets Takopi, a benevolent alien from the Planet of Happiness who has made it his mission to bring Shizuka happiness. Although Takopi has a very limited understanding of human emotions and social dynamics, he enthusiastically shares his tools and intentions with Naoki, putting him in a difficult position: he is torn between trying to help Takopi achieve his goal and having to cope with Shizuka's increasingly complex and emotionally unstable circumstances. Despite his good intentions, Naoki becomes overwhelmed by the emotional burden of the situation, especially when Takopi's intervention begins to lead to unforeseen, and sometimes tragic, consequences.

Naoki was a boy with fairly short black hair. He usually wore black glasses, which he removed occasionally, a blue shirt, gray shorts, white high socks, and matching shoes.

Interesting fact:
The heart on Marina's sweater, which read "love," was somewhat ironic, as throughout the story she had mostly expressed hatred and anger. However, her actions were also driven by her love for her father and her profound disappointment and sadness at his passing.

   Marina Kirarazaka (雲母坂 まりな Kirarazaka Marina) is the main antagonist of the Kirarazaka series. She is a classmate of Shizuka Kuze and harbors a burning hatred for Shizuka, fueling her bullying and emotional abuse of the girl at school. This hostility stems from the breakdown of Marina's family, specifically the disintegration of her parents' relationship, as her father was involved in an extramarital affair with Shizuka's mother, an event that deeply affected Marina's home life and emotional well-being. Because of this affair and the unstable family situation, her mother beats her, guilt-trips her, or criticizes her for the slightest mistakes. Unable to cope with the betrayal and instability caused by the infidelity, Marina projects her pain and disappointment onto Shizuka, seeing her as a symbol of her family's destruction. As a result, Marina becomes increasingly hostile and aggressive, subjecting Shizuka to cruel and constant bullying.

Marina is a young blonde. She always wore a black blouse with a heart and the word "love" inside, a matching hairband, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, black high socks, and burgundy shoes. She has yellow eyes that glow when she's particularly emotional, usually when she's angry or upset.

Personality
Due to the bitterness caused by her parents' divorce and her father's subsequent rise to power, as well as her dire family situation, Marina was a cruel and manipulative bully who took out her anger on Shizuka Kuze, whom she considered a whore for being the daughter of a prostitute. She regularly beat her, turned others against her, and even took away her dog, demonstrating a cunning and deceitful side, but also possessing a certain charm. In the 2022 timeline, she states that her dream is to grow up and become a happy mother, presumably to atone for her past family tragedies.

Personality
Living on the planet of Happiness, dedicated to happiness, Takopi was extremely naive, seemingly understanding little of violence and malice, and having difficulty understanding concepts like suicide. While he understands things like death, he also finds it difficult to comprehend that hanging itself can lead to death, and misfortune can lead to suicide.

Tacopi also has a very poor understanding of human reality, unaware of most, if not all, of their problems and typically believing that problems can only be solved through talking, expressing great bewilderment when this method inevitably fails. Tacopi has never fought for himself or others and was completely unfamiliar with the concept, so he was something of a coward, typically observing violence and problems rather than fighting them, and never defending himself out of fear and confusion when attacked.

However, despite his naivety and inexperience, Takopi was kindhearted and determined, never giving up on his goal of making Shizuka happy, despite her obvious despair and depression. He was also powerful enough to time travel to the past at least a dozen times to prevent Shizuka's seemingly inevitable death, constantly attempting to analyze the reasons behind her tragic fate.

Nnu-Anu-Kf, later known as Takopi (タコピー Takopi), is the eponymous protagonist of the Happiness series. He is an alien being, a Happyian, originally from Planet Happiness, a world where the idea of ​​happiness and positive emotions reigns supreme. He arrives on Earth in 2016 as part of his mission to bring joy to others, armed with a set of advanced tools known as "Happiness Tools" designed to solve problems and improve people's lives. After crash-landing on Earth, he meets a girl named Shizuka Kuze, an introverted and deeply troubled girl who faces severe bullying at school and emotional neglect at home. Touched by her obvious sadness, Takopi resolves to help her feel happy, deciding to stay with her and support her in any way he can.

However, Takopi's understanding of Earth, human emotions, and the complexities of interpersonal relationships is extremely limited, and despite his sincere intentions and gentle nature, his actions often lead to unintentional harm. Unaware of the long-term consequences of his choices and the depth of human psychological suffering, Takopi attempts to improve Shizuka's life, leading to increasingly serious and tragic consequences.

The Tacopi is a small alien resembling a pink octopus. It has two black dots for eyes and a small mouth. Its body is quite elastic, allowing it to stretch its limbs and twist its body with ease.

When he uses the Transfiguration Palette to transform, his pupils in particular have a tiny pink dot/star/heart, distinguishing him from the original.

Personality:
Constantly bullied and harassed by her classmates, Shizuka became a deeply depressed and apathetic girl, whose suicidal tendencies were only tempered by the love she gave and received from her dog, Chappie. She was unwilling to fight back against bullying and beatings, usually resigning herself to it.

She typically showed no emotion when interacting with others, even those she found irritating, and wasn't even surprised when confronted with highly unusual situations, such as Takopi's supernatural tools. Her apathy also made her easily manipulated, as Takopi could effortlessly convince her to change direction while walking the dog or even to walk it the next day. Despite this, Shizuka could recognize the efforts of the few who tried to help her and quickly became attached to them, even if she had only known them for a short time. Shizuka was an atheist, believing neither in God nor in magic.

Likely due to the repeated abuse and trauma she suffered over a long period of time, Shizuka developed sociopathic tendencies, which became evident after Marina Kirarazaki's death. She particularly rejoiced at her death, partly justified by the sense of freedom it brought her. She also began to increasingly view people as tools, notably exploiting Naoki Azuma's feelings for her to push him into turning himself in to the police and being falsely accused of Marina's murder. She openly stated that she judged Takopi solely by his perceived usefulness, no longer showing any interest in him as a person after she no longer saw Chappie in Tokyo.
