Plot
Kawakami City is famous for its strong dedication to its samurai ancestors. A healthy fighting spirit is always valued and it is even an important factor for success at school. Our hero Yamato, a second year student from Kawakami Academy, is always with his close friends (three boys and three girls). They have all known each other since they were young and have done many things together. While they have many other friends, this group of seven is a close-knit, inseparable group. They even have a secret base where they meet. With the new semester, they welcome two girls into their group and shortly after things begin to change.
Characters
Kazama Family
- Yamato Naoe (直江 大和, Naoe Yamato)
- Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (Japanese); Josh Grelle (English)
- The protagonist of video game and anime series. Yamato had a high degree of intelligence and understanding even from his young age. He is the tactician of the group and often makes schemes regarding how to make money or beat others with trickery. His tactics earn him the respect and admiration of many people, especially his friends. His relationship with Momoyo is of an underling as a result of a promise he made when they were younger. At one point while they were kids, Momoyo confessed that she really liked Yamato and even asked for him follow her forever. It is shown that Yamato is much smarter than he actually acts out to be. He has an extreme love for his hermit crabs, Yadon and Karin, and gets extremely upset when people even joke about disturbing them to the point he scares them. Yamato has a huge social network of associates and contacts, but he only considers the members of the Kazama family to be his 'True friends'. Yamato lives in the Shimazu dorm as both his parents live overseas with his father abandoning Japan due to no one being able to declare out loud what they love but instead, would be allowed to declare what they hated. This prompted Yamato to become the Prime minister in order to change Japan so that his father would return. Even though Yamato uses his brains instead of his body to fight, Yamato has proved that he is capable of fighting by relying on his speed, mobility and reflexes to counter his opponent and then strike vital spots to bring them down. He is the target of affection from many of the girls in Kawakami City, Kawakami Academy, and the Kazama family, especially from Momoyo and Miyako. In Fandisk game A-1, he marries Azumi, but notably Miyako becomes pregnant in the first game in her route at the end with his child named after Naoe Kanetsugu, the legendary Sengoku warrior. In the final game that wraps A series, Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! A+, Yamato and Momoyo confirms the feelings they have for each other and Momoyo ends the long series by saying: Maji de watashi ni koi shinasai!
- Momoyo Kawakami (川神 百代, Kawakami Momoyo)
- Voiced by: Kamishiro Misaki (visual novel), Yuu Asakawa (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Carli Mosier (English)
- As the oldest member of the Kawakami Family, Momoyo is seen as the older sister of the group. She gets challenged on almost a daily basis by fighters around the world and even students from other schools who seek recognition and fame. However she effortlessly defeats them all too easily to the point she gets frustrated which she takes out on Yamato by teasing him. She is the most beautiful girl in both Kawakami Academy and Kawakami City, but due to her fighting strength, every male is too intimidated to talk to her. Momoyo is also a regular guest on the Kawakami Academy radio show, as many people request her appearance on it. Sometimes though, she forgets to pay up by the deadline and she gets Yamato to extend it for her. In the end she is always able to pay back what she owes. Despite her strength, she hates to study and usually gets poor grades for it. Due to this she is unable to join S-class as the requirements include being in the top fifty of the exams ranking. She is bisexually flirtatious (reminiscent of Shinra from Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de) and will make a pass at girls as she considers no males to be men due to her high standards, although defeating her in a fight, even if just barely, will make her think otherwise. Many people consider hers and Yamato's relationship as something deeper and even describe it as interesting and special. She also consider Yamato the only person in the world who she can do certain things to in an intimate nature, as well as believing that he is the only one who can make her truly. She eventually realizes that she is in love with Yamato. Momoyo is considered to be the strongest fighter in the world, second only to her grandfather. However, despite all her so-powerful fists, she is terrified of ghosts and spirits, as she feels that nothing she can do will affect them. She is friends and rivals with Ageha Kuki from Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de.
- Kazuko Kawakami (川神 一子, Kawakami Kazuko)
- Voiced by: Yukari Aoyama (visual novel), Akane Tomonaga (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Cynthia Martinez (English)
- Second daughter of the Kawakami family, and Yamato's classmate. Kazuko is known for her cheerful demeanor and never-give-up attitude despite being known as a crybaby when she was younger. She is an orphan and was adopted by an old lady in her youth. However, the foster mother died and Kazuko was adopted by the Kawakami family at Momoyo's request. Since then, she has grown to love her new family, especially Momoyo and hardly considers finding her real parents as a result. She is always training and always looking for a good fight in order to become both a suitable opponent for Momoyo and also a training assistant at the Kawakami temple. She is the target of admiration and affection from both Hideo Kuki and Tadakatsu Minamoto, the latter of whom, she knows from the orphanage and also live in the Shimazu dorm with members of the Kazama family. She uses a naginata with her unquestionable speed and has developed a rivalry with Chris. She is nicknamed "Wanko" due to having dog like tendencies, such as responding to a whistle that each member of the Kazama family uses in order to call her. She is capable of studying harder than she exercises once she gets started, but due to her interests in being a training assistant, she hardly does so. She has a friendly relationship with Minamoto Tadakatsu, who she looks up to like an older brother and calls 'Taku-chan', although Tadakatsu has strong feelings for her but is yet to act on them.
- Miyako Shiina (椎名 京, Shiina Miyako)
- Voiced by: Erena Kaibara (visual novel), Hyosei (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski (English)
- Another girl of Yamato's childhood friends. She is cute but shy, and in the same class of Yamato. A first rate archer who is seen to be unmatched her accuracy is always seen to be 100%. She is madly in love with Yamato since they were kids due to him defending her from bullies. Despite her advances, Yamato shows little interest in her as any more than a friend and tends to find her advances annoying at times and disturbing at others. She hardly ever talks to anyone outside the Kazama family due to her childhood, as she was constantly picked on for being too skinny. Many members of the Kazama family have grown to regret this as Miyako's parents were going through a divorce at the time, making the harassment that much harder for her to deal with. However, she deeply cares for the Kazama family and puts in extra effort to keep the hideout tidy. She is considered a beautiful girl at Kawakami Academy, but due to her affection for Yamato, many people figure that she is already his woman, despite Yamato constantly rejecting her. She also acknowledges Yamato's and Momoyo's close relationship but still refuses to give up. She is also shown to be intelligent enough to join S-Class, the elite of Kawakami Academy. In the game, there are routes where Yamato accepts Miyako's affection, and even if she doesn't end up with Yamato she; however, raises his child alone and still loves him decades later.
- Yukie Mayuzumi (黛 由紀江, Mayuzumi Yukie)
- Voiced by: Shino Kujo (visual novel), Yuko Goto (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Emily Neves (English)
- Yukie is a first-year transfer student that has tasked herself with making one hundred friends. Her extreme shyness and strange reactions around people have done more harm than good in her goal. She regularly talks to a small horse-shaped phone strap named Matsukaze which responds to her and other people using ventriloquism. She is an extremely strong swordswoman as she is the daughter of the 11th sword saint Mayuzumi. She describes her father as "tough but respectful" but due to her constant training, she failed to make any friends growing up. She moved to the Shimazu dorm in Kawakami City with the intent of making friends and growing as a person. She eventually summons her courage and requests that she be friends with the Kazama family which Shoichi agrees to (but before rejecting her in a joking manner, causing her to faint). Through her efforts and with Yamato's help, she is able to make friends with Iyo Oowada, a student of Kawakami Academy in her same class. Mayuzumi is also skilled enough to enter Class-S of her year. She has a liking to Gakuto as he reminds her of her father. She also has a younger sister.
- Christiane Friedrich (クリスティアーネ・フリードリヒ, Kurisutiāne Furīdorihi)
- Voiced by: Rina Misaki (visual novel), Shizuka Ito (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Tiffany Grant (English)
- Christiane is a transfer student from Germany who knows little about Japan outside of what she had seen in jidaigeki dramas. She tends not to read the atmosphere when problems arise but follows Yamato's orders to exactly what he says. She wields a unique fencing blade which she uses with great speed. She acts flustered around Yamato as these two tend to end up in unusual situations. She has a strong sense of justice which served to put her and Yamato at odds as Yamato uses dirty tricks and any means necessary to win. However, she eventually understands that Yamato uses such tactics in order to protect his friends above all else and she approves of it. She has a sister type relationship with her father's lieutenant Margit and they even sleep in the same bed. She is extremely loving towards her father, who in turn is extremely protective of Christiane to the point of threatening any boy who tries to flirt with her. She also has an extreme passion for teddy bear collecting, with her room being full of them. Christiane also has a rivalry with Kazuko and they compete in all sorts of areas such as running and squatting, with Christiane being the victor more often.
- Gakuto Shimazu (島津 岳人, Shimazu Gakuto)
- Voiced by: Bob Matsunuma (visual novel), Takeshi Kusao (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Kalob Martinez (English)
- Gakuto is the muscle of the Kazama family (from the male's side) and is both tall and muscular. He has a strong desire to have a girlfriend but he only considers girls who are the same age or older than him. However, he has little to no luck with girls and is a source of comedy due to his failures. Despite this he never gives up and he believes that muscles are what attract women. Though he is not as strong as the girls of the Kazama family (because he never learned any fighting style and only focused on building his muscle body), he is a capable fighter in his own right and is able to endure attacks from Christiane, Momoyo and Kazuko, albeit not to a high degree. He is best friends with Moro and the two are constantly seen together, with people making boys love jokes about them which only serves to disgust them. Both Gakuto and Moro refuse to lose to each other as men, but get along best regardless. Easily the most openly perverted of the group, he feels like he can only talk to Yamato about girls as Shoichi has no interest and Moro is too shy. His family owns both the Shimazu dorm where Yamato and other members of the Kazama family reside and the building where the Kazama family's hideout is located.
- Shoichi Kazama (風間 翔一, Kazama Shōichi)
- Voiced by: Bakuhatsu Fuji (visual novel), Katsuyuki Konishi (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Greg Ayres (English)
- The leader of the Kazama Family and Yamato's best friend nicknamed "Capt." by his friends. He and Yamato met when the latter ran away from home on day and Shoichi was playing in a cardboard box in a field. While there was a bit of tension at first, the two became friends quickly and have been friends ever since. Shoichi is a boy that, unlike his peers, is more interested in adventure and having fun than chasing girls around. His tendency to take the helm in times of fun has earned him the respect of his friends, as well as his nickname. He is described as a man with the most luck in the Kazama family as it seems like he can do anything without even trying with the exception of studying and academics due to him not even trying. His trademark is a red bandana with a dragon on it which he is seen wearing almost all the time. He has little ability to read the mood or sensitivity to certain topics which tends to disturb and embarrass others. Whenever he is left out of certain situations and arrives at the scene to find that Yamato has already taken care of it, he tends to throw a fit like a little kid. Shoichi is also extremely popular with girls, with him being ranked as one of the four most handsome males at Kawakami Academy. Momoyo also acknowledges Shoichi as a man, due to him not surrendering the leadership of the Kazama family to her while they were kids.
- Takuya Morooka (師岡 卓也, Morooka Takuya)
- Voiced by: Senbei Makari (visual novel), Kenichi Suzumura (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Blake Shepard (English)
- The Kazama family's resident geek. Nicknamed 'Moro', he is a classic Otaku as he loves both anime and manga. He is also very skilled with computers and other I.T. equipment, and tends to talk too much about them without noticing. He is shy and awkward around girls but is comfortable with the girls in the Kazama family. He is best friends with Gakuto and is constantly seen with him, making people joke about their 'boys love' which only serves to disgust them both. Both he and Gakuto refuse to lose to each other as men, but get along best with each other regardless. It is shown he has a secret interest in Miyako despite Miyakos openness about her affection for Yamato. Moro is able to cross dress like a girl which he finds extremely embarrassing, especially as men such as Gakuto in particular, find him attractive this way. He is the least perverted of the males from the Kazama Family and keeps his desires too himself while scarcely being a bit more open about it at times. Like Miyako, he highly values the members of the Kazama family and found it unsettling to invite Christiane and Yukie into the group. Eventually though, Moro was able to welcome them both.
- Tadakatsu Minamoto (源 忠勝, Minamoto Tadakatsu)
- Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe (Japanese); Houston Hayes (English)
- A fellow school student who resides in the Shimazu dorm. His nickname from everyone is 'Gen' or 'Gen-san' but he gets called 'Tacchan' from Kazuko. He has a very mean look but is a really nice person. Having grown up in the same orphanage was Kazuko, Tadakatsu and Kazuko have known each other since they were kids and have been friends since. Eventually both were adopted with Tadakatsu being taken in by Usami Kyojin, a teacher at Kawakami Academy and also the boss of a small 'odd jobs' company which Tadakatsu is also an employee and future successor of. He tends to receive cake as a token of appreciation for his jobs, which he tends to share with Yamato. He has a secret affection towards Kazuko since they were kids, which is made evident by the way he looks out for her and the way he treats her nicely compared to everyone else. This puts him at odds with Hideo Kuki who also has feelings for Kazuko. Despite him rather being alone, Tadakatsu is extremely popular and is even ranked as one of the four most handsome males in Kawakami Academy. Since he tends to scowl all time, many people are taken aback whenever he smiles or shares a kind word with people as it tends to lift their spirits.

He fell in love with Kazuko's attitude of always trying to surpass her previous self and her will to never give up. He is the one who created Cookie and gave it to Kazuko. Hideo believes he is going to be the future ruler of the world since he is superior to the rest of the people for being a member of the Kuki Family. Hideo has only recognized Aoi as his equal because his intellect is on an equal level with him. Because of this, he also considers him a friend and listens to what he has to say. He also tends to argue with the members of Kazama Family when they are too friendly with Kazuko, or when they interrupt his attempt to talk with Kazuko. He also has a bit of a rivalry with Shoichi.

In the game's particular route, Yamato advises Azumi to forward her unrequited love for Hideo and advance, tired of her motionless life.

- Voiced by: Koji Yusa (Japanese); Connor Leach (English)

Stacy was trained in the United States Military Force, and knows how to use all kind of guns, along with being an expert in close combat. Stacy's strongest and perhaps only real technique is called Ultra Rock. It makes her much stronger and faster, but she also becomes extremely aggressive and feral.
- Jinchu Lee (李 静初)
- Voiced by: Asami Imai
- Lee is the rank #16 maid and a former assassin that once targeted Mikado. After being foiled, she was recruited into the Kuki corporation. Contrasting her former occupation, she's rather motherly and has an awful sense of humor. She is not as strong as Stacy, but is very intelligent and a much more competent attendant. Jinchu is trained in Chinese martial arts and Chinese kempo which makes her an expert in combat, with weapons or without them, she also helps with anti assassination work.
- Koi Kiriyama (桐山 鯉, Kiriyama Koi)
- Voiced by: Ryotaro Okiayu
- The ranked 42 butler of the Kuki corporation, he's fairly unpopular due to his slimy attitude and fixation on his mother. Koi was given the task to look around the world and search for people with overwhelming skills. He was the one who scouted Tsubame Matsunaga. Koi is superficially polite, but also condescending and hostile.
- Sheila Colombo (シェイラ コロンボ)
- Voiced by: Sora Haruka
- Sheila is a former mercenary from Brazil and acquaintance of Stacy's. Though she acts cutesy, she's as poisonous as her powers. She was born with the ability to produce poisons from her body or add them to her body and mix them up. Sheila relies completely on poisons to fight. They’re effective, but against an opponent that guards themselves cleverly she has essentially no other tricks to use.
- Kojurou Takeda (桐山 鯉, Takeda Kojurou)
- Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama
- Ageha's butler, ranked 999 of the servants of the Kuki Corporation, he is considered the weakest of them all and is only kept around due to sharing Ageha's rare blood type. Still, he's intensely loyal to his master and makes up for his lack of any skill with enthusiasm alone.
The Bushido Plan
- Yoshitsune Minamoto (源 義経, Minamoto Yoshitsune)
- Voiced by: Rina Sato
- A female clone made by the Kuki Corporation, she was raised with Benkei and Yoichi from a young age, and acts as the leader of their group. All 3 grow up like sibling but still retain their master/servant relationship from the past heroes. Her weapon is katana, but she is still quite capable without it and she's good with the flute. Teased mercilessly by Benkei, she's at least as good as Mayucchi, but tends to be lack subtlety, is socially clumsy and a bit of a crybaby.
- Benkei Musashibou (武蔵坊弁慶, Musashibou Benkei)
- Voiced by: Nami Kurokawa
- The busty and strong, laid-back and life-long companion of Yoshitsune and Yoichi. Benkei loves teasing Yoshitsune and has decided the best way to keep Yoichi in line is with threats of violence. She's rather popular with guys as well as being quite approachable due to her laid back attitude. Benkei’s best move requires her to be badly beaten down without getting knocked out. She's quite good at cooking, is an excellent shogi player and likes collecting sake without actually drinking it.
- Yoichi Nasu (那 須与, Nasu no Yoichi)
- Voiced by: Shinichiro Miki
- A new transfer student in Kawakami Academy. The paranoid, angsty but brilliant archer companion of Yoshitsune and Benkei. He's actually a clone made by the Kuki Corporation. Despite his apparent distrust, he's actually easily tricked or persuaded if you take the right attitude. He surpasses Miyako in both strength and stamina and rivals her in accuracy. He has good looks, but his bizarre personality keeps him from being too popular.
- Seiso Hazakura/Haou (葉桜 清楚)
- Voiced by: Ryouko Tanaka
- A book-loving girl that gets transferred to 3-S. She is also a clone, but Kuki executives keep her true identity quite secret, even from her. Seiso is a clone of Kouu (Xiang Yu), a Chinese general. She possesses an alternate personality named Haou, who is very arrogant and has a lot of pride in her abilities and skills which in her own route causes her own downfall. Fortunately, she's able to actually learn from her mistakes. Her fighting skills are easily on par at the level of Momoyo, Tesshin's or Hume's if not greater than theirs.
Other Characters
- Cookie (クッキー, Kukkī)
- Voiced by: Megumi Ogata [Form I] Jun Fukuyama [Form II], and Fumihiko Tachiki [Form V] (Japanese); Allison Keith [Form I] and George Manley [Forms II & V] (English)
- An egg-shaped robot invented by the Kuki family and given to the Kazama family as a gift. Lives with the Kazama family and can make popcorn soda and other foods and drinks appear from inside itself. Cookie now refers to Shoichi as his master (Kazuko as his former master), but serves all the members of the Kazama family. Has a small favoritism, noticed by Yamato, toward Miyako. Cookie explains it's because she diligently polishes Cookie, while cleaning the secret base for the Kazama Family in return. Despite being a robot, Cookie has emotions and can act accordingly to them. He has three official transformations; his normal mode, his transformation mode, which carries an energy blade and is capable of matching superhuman skills, and also a brain mode.
- Gyoubu Shakadou (釈迦堂 刑部, Shakadou Gyoubu)
- Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara (Japanese); David Wald (English)
- A former assistant master at the Kawakami Temple, Shakadou is an extremely strong fighter but was too brutal for Tesshin's tastes and was fired. He and Momoyo appear to get along well due to their fixation on fighting and power. Shakadou does not really seem to have much malice, he just likes fighting for its own sake. When he is not fighting, he's rather laid back and friendly in his own way. He is the main character of his own spin-off called Shakadou no Jun'ai Road where he moves out of Kawakami Prefecture and befriends a girl named Sakura Kugenuma. He's the teacher of the Itagaki siblings, since he thought they had far too much talent to simply ignore, but that the Kawakami academy would never accept such violent students.
- Tatsuko Itagaki (板垣辰子, Itagaki Tatsuko)
- Voiced by: Natsumi Yanase (Japanese); Tiffany Terrell (English)
- The second eldest of the Itagaki siblings, Tatsuko is a lazy, slow girl that is constantly sleeping or wishing she was. Though easygoing, she's also one of Shakadou's pupils and does not hold any real malice. Oddly, however, he does not seem to want to train her. She's instantly infatuated with Yamato. and she's always very strong and durable, but her true potential is only seen when she loses control and her brute force can match Momoyo's. She works as a security guard. She and Benkei became friends when they faced Tsubame Matsunaga in a tournament.
- Ami Itagaki (板垣亜巳, Itagaki Ami)
- Voiced by: Harumi Sakurai (Japanese); Maggie Flecknoe (English)
- The eldest of the Itagaki siblings. She runs an S&M club and says she's looking for the ultimate masochist.

- Ryuuhei Itagaki (板垣竜兵, Itagaki Ryuuhei)
- Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (Japanese); David Matranga (English)
- Tatsuko's younger twin brother. He's a violent thug and fond of raping other men. Unlike the quasi-legal professions of Tatsuko and Ami, he's fully embraced a life of crime and revels in destruction, but he still loves his family and his boss. He is not a martial artist, but still probably stronger than Angel at least.
- Angel Itagaki (板垣天使, Itagaki Angel)
- Voiced by: Yuuki Kajita (Japanese); Caitlynn French (English)
- The youngest and most emotional of the Itagaki siblings. She's a bit spoiled by her older siblings and spends most of her free time at the arcade.

Yamato finally understand that his father abandoned the country because the citizens have not shown any love towards the country.

The bandage man reveals that he publicly recorded what the prime minister has been saying, which makes the latter very furious.
