Characters
huke, who was in charge of character design for this work, has redesigned all the characters!
Rintaro Okabe (CV: Mamoru Miyano)
The protagonist of this work. He calls himself the mad scientist "Hououin Kyouma" and acts like a villain, suffering from chuunibyou. He established a club in Akihabara called the "Future Gadget Lab," where he invents gadgets of questionable utility.
Mayuri Shiina (CV: Kana Hanazawa)
Okabe's childhood friend, always smiling and acting at her own pace, a natural airhead. Her hobby is making cosplay costumes and watching others wear them. Having often been carried on her grandmother's back to gaze at the night sky as a child, she has a habit of reaching out to touch the sky, which Okabe calls "Handshaking with Stardust."
Itaru Hashida (CV: Tomokazu Seki)
Okabe's friend since high school, nicknamed "Daru." He finds moe elements everywhere, from 2D to 3D, without restraint, and is an energetic otaku. He talks a lot, frequently uses internet slang, and often makes sexually harassing remarks. He is highly confident in his programming and hacking skills, earning him the title of "My Favorite Right Arm" from Okabe.
Kurisu Makise (CV: Asami Imai)
A researcher at Victor Chondria University's Brain Science Institute, she is a prodigy who graduated university at age 17. Her papers have been published in prestigious American academic journals, generating considerable discussion. Although she often appears unhappy, she is inherently curious and is a science enthusiast who can't help but get involved once something catches her interest.
Moeka Kiryu (CV: Saori Goto)
A part-time employee at the editing and production company "Ark Rewrite." She is extremely dependent on her mobile phone, preferring to send emails even when speaking to someone face-to-face. She frequently wanders the streets of Akihabara in search of the legendary vintage PC, the "IBN5100."
Ruka Urushibara (CV: Yu Kobayashi)
Mayuri's classmate. Polite, pure, and resembling a classic beautiful girl, he is actually male. As the only son of the Yanagibayashi Shrine, he always wears miko attire at his father's suggestion. Due to his overly serious nature, he tends to take things literally and mistakenly believes all of Okabe's chuunibyou delusions are facts.
Faris NyanNyan (CV: Haruko Momoi)
The most popular mischievous maid at the Akihabara maid cafe "May Queen+nyan²," and Mayuri's part-time colleague. She liberally sprinkles her speech with embarrassing "nyan" suffixes. She is one of the few people who can directly confront Okabe's chuunibyou delusions. Her real name is a secret.
Suzuha Amane (CV: Yukari Tamura)
A young girl who came to interview for a part-time job at the "CRT Workshop." She is energetic, slightly careless, and loves bicycles. While she seems approachable, she keeps relationships at a distance. Sometimes she uses obscure words rarely used by ordinary people or says meaningful things, revealing unexpected sides of her personality.
Yugo Tennouji (CV: Masaki Terasoma)
The landlord of the building housing the "Future Gadget Lab" and owner of the "CRT Workshop" on the first floor. His wife has passed away, and he deeply loves his only daughter, Kae, as well as CRTs. Okabe calls him "Mr. Brown."
Kae Tennouji (CV: Ayano Yamamoto)
The only daughter of Yugo Tennouji, she is an elementary school student. She loves her father very much and often visits his shop after school. She has a somewhat quiet personality. She calls Mayuri "Onee-chan" and looks up to her greatly, while showing fear towards Okabe and Hashida.
Dr. Nakabachi (CV: Mitsuru Ogata)
An inventor researching time machines. He is well-known due to frequent TV appearances. He will hold a press conference in Akihabara to celebrate the successful invention of the time machine.
