The Akibarangers
Nobuo Akagi/Akiba Red | Live Actor: Masato Wada
- Anime Hair: On his HELMET, of all things. Can be used as a weapon.
- Ascended Fanboy: Even more so than Gai Ikari.
- Basement Dweller: 29 years old and living with his mother.
- The Dulcinea Effect: Hopelessly devoted towards "his" Sayaka. To the point that when Marushina disguised herself as Sayaka to shoot him, he fell for it three times in a row. He was drunk that time though. During #9, it actually helps motivate him to transform IN THE REAL WORLD.
- The Hero: Or at least he tries to be.
- Homage: Himself and his suit has some to several super sentai red rangers: His Super Sentai Stance (spread open legs and outstretched arms) is similar to Aka Ranger's and Goggle Red's pose; His helmet's "hair" is similar to Battle Japan's asymmetric helmet; The gold sideways "V-streak" on his helmet's "hair" is similar to Aka Red's gold "V" on his helmet; His family name is pronounced the same as Ippei Akagi's (Denzi Red's) family name.
- The Kirk
- Large Ham
- My Name Is Not Durwood: Known to Sayaka only as 'Ponpoko-san' thanks to his work uniform.
- Nerds Are Virgins
- Older Than They Look: Nobuo is 29, although he could easily pass as a man in his early-to-mid 20s. This also extends in real life, as his actor is actually 32.
- The One Guy
- Otaku
- Reality Warper: His delusion level eventually becomes so high that he can use his powers just as effectively in the real world, which essentially has this effect.
- Use Your Head: Either to headbutt or AS A SAW.
Mitsuki Aoyagi/Akiba Blue | Live Actress: Kyoko Hinami
- Badass: She's the only one out of the trio who knows how to fight unmorphed.
- Bob Haircut
- Improvised Weapon: Has a preference for rods of any sort.
- The Lancer
- Only Sane Girl: Amongst the other two Akibarangers.
- The Smart Girl
- She's Got Legs
- The Spock
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Yumeria's Girly Girl.
- Tsundere: Usually tsun-tsun in general, but hits dere-dere mode once Aoi-tan is involved.
- The Watson: When it comes to Sentai.
- Wrestler in All of Us: Has been seen to use several pro-wrestling grapples, including a hurricanrana-into-armdrag and a boston crab.
Yumeria Moegi Real Name: Yuuko Yamada/Akiba Yellow | Live Actress: Karin Ogino
- Animal-Eared Headband
- Catgirl: Most of the time.
- Chekhov's Skill: her drawing, usually saved for her yaoi doujinshi, comes in handy in #7 for drawing out the delusions and leads to Hakase recognising Marushina from someplace.
- The Chick
- Confusion Fu: Her fighting style is comical but effective, like Gokai Green's
- Cosplay Otaku Girl
- Her main costume is the yellow haired Catgirl
- In #3, she is a blue haired elementary school boy.
- At the end of three and in the intro, she is The Mad Hatter.
- #4 has multiple due to the cosplay shop scene:
- Her cosplay after the intro is a slightly different take on the school boy outfit from the previous episode. She now sports a dark blue wig, glasses, and a bowtie.
- When she tries different cosplays in the shop she starts with a Nun wielding a machine gun.
- Next is a Native American.
- Third is Little Red Riding Hood.
- And finally is Mele. When she transforms, she even retains the Mele character!
- #5 she spends the entire episode as a Silver-Haired Alien.
- In #6, she's a Elegant Gothic Lolita that carries around a talking mannequin head.
- For the first 5 minutes of #7 she retains her Gothic Loli cosplay, then she dresses as Satomi from Z-Cune Aoi. At the end of #7, she's dressed as a Samurai (in particular with Date Masamune's crescent helm, but none of his eyepatch)
- #9 has her dressed up as a bee girl and later a bunny girl.
- Of special note, we see her as herself briefly in #7 and #9.
- Deceased Parents Are the Best: In Episode 5, we meet her mother, who taught her everything about cosplay. She even gets to transform into Akiba Yellow herself! When the fight is over, however, she is no where to be found. Yumeria then reveals to the team that she had been dead for several years.
- Improbable Weapon User: The Akiba pylon, anyone?
- The McCoy
- Meaningful Name: Moegi is an obvious one. As for Yumeria, it is a combination of the Japanese word for dream (yume) and the western name Amelia. It's just an alias, however.
- Office Lady: Her day job.
- Older Than They Look: Reveals herself to be 23, but as of #5, she's 24. Averted in real life, as her actress is actually only 16.
- Plain Name: Lampshaded: her real name is noted to be very common.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Mizuki's Tomboy.
- Verbal Tic: Depending on the costume - adding "nya"s to her dialogue as a catgirl, ending all her sentences with a combination of "pi", "pe", and "po" as an alien in #5, and so on.
- In #7, as a part of her Satomi cosplay, she usually starts sentences with "[insert adverb here] speaking" (ex. Tactically, Philosophically, Unofficially etc. speaking). Then they are all dropped when we see her as herself in #9.
- Vocal Dissonance: She dropped her Animal-Eared Headband in #2. Her voice changed. Drastically.
- Yaoi Fangirl: As demonstrated in #3 when she sees Akiba Red and the Monster of the Week being a tad too close. This actually caused them trouble as her Yaoi Fangirl delusions conflicted with Akiba Red's heroic delusions.
Allies
Hiroyo Hakase /Shuri Toyozuki| Live Actress: Maaya Uchida
- Bottle Fairy: With some huge bottles in #3.
- Hot Scientist: Well, she's not officially a scientist, but she plays one at the cafe and seems to have some method of monitoring the Rangers' delusions, so...
- Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter
- The Mentor
Kozkoz Mita | Live Actress: Kozue Aikawa
- Cosplay Otaku Girl
- The Pollyanna: When Marushina invades the cafe, Kozkoz takes up arms against her and gets beat down for all her troubles... yet some time later, she's right back to dancing for her customers with a smile on her face as if nothing happened.
Sayaka Honiden | Live Actress: Miiko Morita
- Office Lady: According to her workplace.
Aoi | Voice Actress: Maaya Uchida
Blatantly Evil Guerrilla Marketing Firm B
Doctor Z Real Name: Takehiro Tsuzuki | Live Actor: Kazuki Yao
- Bigger Bad
- I Have No Son: Says that Hiroyo stopped being his daughter once she started to voice Aoi.
- Homage: To Showa-Era villains, particularly Doctor Shinigami and a bit of Doctor Man.
- Mad Artist
Maruseena | Live Actress: Honoka
- Big Bad: At least, we THINK she's the Big Bad. The show hasn't really made it clear yet.
- Master of Disguise: She can change both her clothes and appearance instantly. In contrast with Enter, the primary villain of the official Sentai series Akibaranger airs alongside, who merely changes his clothes, retaining his appearance and even his signature sunglasses.
- Voice Changeling: She also has the ability to disguise her voice, which she usually uses to pretend to be a producer from Toei calling the Akibarangers.
- Putting on the Reich: Her design is straight up Nazi-sexploitation-based.
- Xanatos Gambit: After breaking into the real world, she realized that her forces could follow her with help of the Akibarangers' delusion power, so she began to help them grow stronger and even set up fights with the sole purpose of weakening the barrier between the real world and the delusion world, going as far as retrieving their transformation devices for the heroes. When they realized they had been Unwitting Pawns, the damage was already done.
- Yaoi Fangirl: She enjoys the fight between the Chief Clerk in Episode 3 and Akiba Red perhaps a bit too much.
- Your Mind Makes It Real: As of Episode 6, she has broken through into the real world.
Chief Clerks
- Monster of the Week
- Overly Long Name: However did Nobuo got the first monster's name right?
- Theme Naming: Just as the Akibarangers are named after Akihabara, the Chief Clerks are named after other districts of Tokyo, such as Shibuya and Kabukicho.
Shachieeks
- Gag Censor: In #3, the face of the grunt appears over Maruseena's mouth when she starts to swear.
- Meaningful Name: Also known as the Sacrificial Corporate Drones.
- Mooks
- Salaryman: What they're modeled after.
- Taking The Finishing Move: For the Monster of the Week. Only in #1 so far
