Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z/Characters
The Powerpuff Girls Z
Momoko Akatsutsumi/Hyper Blossom
Voiced by: Emiri Katou (JP), Nicole Bouma (EN)
The first member and self proclaimed leader of the Powerpuff Girls Z squad. She is very familiar with the mahou shojo genre, along with some typical anime/SuperSentai concepts and is regarded as a "hero maniac" in school.
She transforms using the phrase "Hyper Blossom" and uses a yo-yo as a weapon.

Miyako Goutokuji/Rolling Bubbles
Voiced by: Nami Miyahara (JP), Maryke Hendrikse (EN)
The second member of the Powerpuff Girls Z team. Miyako/Bubbles is the ditziest member of the three, often appearing a bit clueless, and doesn't seem to understand her powers completely, along with a few other things. She is, however, more mature than the other girls in the team and will try to calm any situation, although she too can be angered when provoked. She is also very polite and always uses honorifics at the end of names. She is more concerned with shopping, her appearance and her outfits, and perhaps because of this, she seems to be very popular among her male classmates.
She transforms using the phrase "Rolling Bubbles" and uses a bubble wand as a weapon.

Kaoru Matsubara/Powered Buttercup
Voiced by: Machiko Kawana (JP), Kelly Metzger (EN)
The third and final member of the Powerpuff Girls Z team. Like the original Buttercup, she is a tomboy and is the most easily enraged of the three.

Supporting Characters
Utonium Kitazawa
Voiced by: Taiten Kusunoki (JP), Louis Chrillo (EN)
The responsible for all those affected by the Chemical Z lights, especially the Powerpuff Girls Z. Professor Utonium was originally experimenting with the substance Chemical X and strove to find a way to change its chemical properties. Professor Utonium has created several inventions throughout the series; the most important one being his Chemical Z Particle Ray, which allows him to transform those affected by the lights back to normal (although it doesn't prevent recurring transformations nor is it able to work on all black light victims).

Ken Kitazawa
Voiced by: Makiko Ohmoto (JP), Cathy Weseluck (EN)
A young boy genius, the 8 year-old son of Professor Utonium who is somewhat responsible for turning regular girls into the Powerpuff Girls Z and numerous other characters into villains using Chemical Z. He used it to blast a glacier in order to set the weather back to normal, but the impact resulted in the explosion of several lights, which affected all those who came in contact with it.
Peach
Voiced by: Tomoko Kaneda (JP), Matt Hill (EN - Ep. 1-37a), Simon Hill (EN - Ep.37b-52)
Ken's pet robot dog. Peach was also affected by a white Chemical Z ray, gaining the ability to talk, as well as a considerable boost in intelligence. Peach's shout prompts the girls to transform either in person or through a long-distance communication device, although a modification to the girls' compacts allows them to transform on their own.
