Yuzuru is the first name, Nishimiya is the last name.
• Build: A short, fragile teenage girl (in high school).
• Hair: Short, choppy, boyish bob, dark brown.
• Eyes: Large, brown, with a direct and often piercing, distrustful look.
• Style: Her clothing often causes confusion: Yuzuru favors a strictly boyish style. She constantly wears loose sweatshirts, hoodies, shorts, and sneakers, which is why Shoya mistook her for a boy when they first met.
Character
• Loyalty and self-sacrifice: Yuzuru's main goal in life is to protect her deaf older sister. For Shoko, she is willing to get into fights, be rude to adults, and skip school. She also deliberately cut her hair and dressed like a boy for her sake, so that others would think Shoko had a strong protector.
• Rough Mask and Maturity: Due to a difficult childhood and the pressure to mature early, Yuzuru comes across as harsh, prickly, and cynical beyond her years. She distrusts people, especially Shoya, when he tries to reenter her sister's life, and takes a long time to test his intentions.
• Unusual Hobby: Yuzuru is passionate about photography and almost never puts her camera down. She takes eerie and macabre photos of dead insects and animals. It is later revealed that she did this for her sister: to show Shoko how terrible death is and to keep her from thinking about suicide.
• Hidden Vulnerability: Behind the "tough guy" image lies a frightened child who suffers greatly from family conflicts, loves his grandmother dearly, and desperately needs support. Over time, she softens, comes to trust Shoya, and becomes his loyal ally.
Nickname: "Yuzuru-san", "Yuzuru-kun" (from Tomohiro), "Yuzuru" (from Shoko, Shoi).

Satoshi is the first name, Mashiba is the last name.
• Build: Tall, slender, and very attractive. His striking appearance immediately attracts the attention of girls, especially Miki Kawai.
• Hair: Bright red (chestnut-red), neatly styled.
• Eyes: Expressive, golden-brown. A distinctive feature of his look is his thick, noticeable eyebrows.
• Style: Dresses fashionably, neatly and tastefully. Always looks confident and well-groomed.
Character
• A Strong Sense of Justice: Mashiba is obsessed with fighting bullying and injustice. This makes him appear noble, but his desire to protect the weak can sometimes take on frightening and extreme forms.
• Hidden Aggression and Trauma: As a child, Satoshi was cruelly teased for his unusual eyebrows, and none of his teachers or classmates stood up for him. This childhood trauma has developed a hidden cruelty in him: he feels genuine rage towards any bullies and hooligans, believing that they "have no right to exist."
• Selective Friendliness: He initiated communication with Shoya Ishida himself, as he found him interesting and aloof. However, after learning about Shoya's dark past and his bullying of Shoko Nishimiya, Satoshi immediately becomes disillusioned with him, although everything later returns to normal.
• Awareness and Acceptance: He dreams of becoming a teacher to protect children from bullying. However, over time (after the conflict on the bridge and Shoya's fall), Satoshi realizes his own arrogance and that people can sincerely repent and change for the better.
Nickname: Mashiba-kun.

Miyoko is the first name, Sahara is the last name.
• Build: Tall, very slender girl with excellent posture. In high school, she noticeably grew taller and began to look like a fashion model, which is why her friend Ueno even envied her a little.
• Hair: Dark brown, medium length, styled in a neat bob with slight volume.
• Eyes: Light brown, with a soft and kind look.
• Style: Sahara is passionate about fashion and clothing design, so she dresses tastefully, sophisticatedly and stylishly, often complementing her looks with interesting details (for example, long earrings).
Character
• Kindness and helpfulness: Miyoko is a very gentle, understanding, and friendly person. In elementary school, she was the only one who volunteered to learn sign language to communicate with Shoko Nishimiya, as she sincerely wanted to help her.
• Hidden cowardice and vulnerability (in the past): Because of her attempt to help Shoko, she herself became the target of ridicule and hidden bullying (especially from Naoki Ueno). Unable to withstand the psychological pressure and afraid of becoming an outcast, Sahara began feigning illness and eventually transferred to another school, which is why she reproached herself for her weakness for a long time.
• Growth and Courage: In high school, after meeting up with Shoya and Shoko again, Miyoko finds the strength to apologize for running away. She overcomes her past fears, rekindles her friendship with Shoko, and learns to speak her mind openly without fear of judgment.
• Loyalty and Tolerance: Sahara is an incredibly loyal friend. She manages to maintain a close relationship even with Naoka Ueno, despite her difficult character and past grievances, being able to see the best in people.

Their friendship began after Shoya defended him from a bully who tried to steal his bicycle. Nagatsuka is willing to do anything for his friend.

• A mask of confidence and hidden loneliness: Before meeting Shoya, Tomohiro was a complete outcast, which is why he suffers from complexes and loneliness deep down. To appear "cool," he often embellishes reality or outright lies (for example, making up stories about a bunch of past friends).

• "A-Student Syndrome" and Egocentrism: Miki sincerely believes herself to be kind, correct, and fair. She is dependent on the opinions of others and craves universal adoration. Her behavior often borders on hypocrisy.
• Avoiding Responsibility: Mika's main flaw is her inability to admit her mistakes. As a child, she didn't bully Shoko directly, but she silently supported the bullying and laughed from the shadows. When it was revealed, she shifted all the blame onto Shoya, portraying herself as the innocent victim.
• Cowardice and manipulation: In stressful situations, when her “perfect” image is threatened, she easily resorts to tears, aggression, or revealing other people’s secrets in order to save her own skin.
