*BrattyHalfPint: Is he ever. He's disliked by Nana and Kyoushiro for his penchant of pulling pranks, and Okane frequently scolds and disciplines him. In his debut episode, he establishes himself by playing various pranks on the Daimovic crew and stealing the Triper.
*ReptilesAreAbhorrent: When he meets Nana for the first time, he shakes her hand....only to reveal that he was hiding a lizard in it, frightening her.
*SpannerInTheWorks: Had Genta not entered the room where Balbas was being held prisoner, therefore becoming a hostage that Kazuya would later exchange himself for, Balbas and Kazuya wouldn't have bonded over their shared desire for the safety of the Baamites.
*TooDumbToLive:
**He drives off with the Triper, Kazuya's CoolCar, despite being underage and not having a license. Unsurprisingly, this ends with the car getting busted.
**In episode 35, Genta enters the room where Balbas, a ''war criminal'', is being held. This could have ended with his death since in prior episodes, Balbas has indiscriminately opened fire on humans regardless of age.

[[folder:Kazuya Ryuuzaki]]
!!Kazuya Ryuzaki (竜崎 一矢)
-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AkiraKamiya
The main character of the series. An astronaut, karateka and pilot of the titular machine Daimos. Kazuya's father Isamu was killed during an attempt to broker peace with the Balmians. During his first battle with Daimos, Kazuya found an amnesiac girl named Erika and fell in love, despite eventually learning that she was actually the Princess of Balm. His love continues to drive him forward despite others warning him against it. Along the way, he learns that the Balmians are more than just mere invaders, and how some of the men fighting for his side weren't that squeaky clean.
----
[[quoteright:544:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kazuya_daimos.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:544: Kazuya Ryuzaki]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kazuya is an idealistic man fighting for love, and in lighthearted times, act like a relaxed friend to Kyoshiro and an inspiring brother figure to Nana, and of course, will commit himself to the defense of Earth in his own way. He'll try to be nice with even the most obstructive man, but cross the line too much and that's it, no more Mr. NiceGuy, he'll beat the crap out of you without mercy.
* CallingYourAttacks: Aside of activating Daimos' weaponry, he has a ton of special finishing moves, and you bet he'll call out each one of them. '''"Hissatsu! Reppu! Daimo Kick/Chop!/Seikenzuki!"'''
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He can cut down and shatter weapons with just bare-handed punches or kicks, even on foot! And this is even translated to Daimos: Using Reppu Seikenzuki means he punches so hard, Daimos' fist impales through the enemy robot.
* ChickMagnet: Kazuya captures the hearts of Erika, Nana, Sayuri and possibly [[AmbiguouslyGay Halleck]].
* DubNameChange:
** Phillipine-English: '''Richard Hartford'''.
** Starbirds dub: '''Kelly Hunter'''.
** Averted in the French and Italian dubs where he stays '''Kazuya Ryuuzaki'''.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Near the end of the series, [[spoiler:as part of her BatmanGambit, Erika betrays Kazuya. This made Kazuya utterly heartbroken... but even if he was in pain due to the betrayal, he still summoned enough willpower to finish the mission of brokering peace between humans and Balmians... the willpower ends up being ''doubled'' when he eventually learns that Erika was just staging her betrayal.]]
* TheHero: Of the series. As opposed to his other [[Anime/CombattlerV Nagahama]] [[Anime/VoltesV compatriots]], Kazuya pilots alone, though he sometimes has backup from Kyoshiro and Nana.
* HotBlooded: He's a hero of a 70's Super Robot anime and is voiced by Creator/AkiraKamiya. There's just no way he can't be this.
* TheIdealist: People around him are usually sarcastic about love and the nature of Balmians. On the other hand, Kazuya continued to believe in ThePowerOfLove and the good within all living beings. For the most part, he's proven right, although sometimes he found exceptions.
* IdiotHero: Downplayed. Kazuya is not really stupid, but he's absolutely guileless and thinks with his heart more than with his brain.
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Much like his predecessor [[Anime/VoltesV Kenichi]], Kazuya is a firm believer of this trope. He tells Sayuri that if she kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it.
* ManlyTears: And he has tons of it to spare, upon witnessing things like Erika's situation or finding noble men all around that ended up sacrificing their lives for the greater good, Kazuya will let the waterworks flow.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Besides the BareFistedMonk method of fighting that Daimos uses, it has no less than eight melee weapons that it frequently uses. Considering that Daimos is a MotionCaptureMecha, it means that Kazuya must be good at using these weapons himself.
* ThePowerOfLove: Whenever he thinks of Erika and his love for her, his willpower gets boosted, enough to turn around difficult battles.
* RageBreakingPoint: Kazuya prefers diplomacy, words, or at worst harsh warnings when it comes to racism, especially from Miwa. But the moment Miwa is seen gunning down human and Balm civilians, Kazuya goes absolutely apeshit and wants nothing but to kill Miwa with his bare hands.
* StarCrossedLover: His forbidden love with Erika drives the majority of the story.
* TrainingFromHell: When he was 14, he got into an accident, which forced him into a rehabilitation and it looked more like the trope. Kazuya survived all those, becoming an even more powerful fighter afterwards.
* YouKilledMyFather: Actually averted and it shows a great contrast with Richter. Kazuya lost his father to the Balmians, but he didn't make it a super big deal unlike Richter, who was consumed with vengeance over his father's death.

!Daimos
[[folder: Daimos]]
The titular robot of the series who is created by Daimovic Base and piloted by Kazuya Ryuukzaki.
----
* ArmedLegs: Has this that reveals weaponry to catch off a Baam robot off guard.
* ExpressiveMask: Somehow it was capable of making facial expressions — like opening its mouth when hit, as if screaming in pain — despite being a piece of metal.
* CoolCar: Kazuya's Tryper 75S is this as it allows him to board inside a Cool Tranzer, which in turn transforms into Daimos.
* ChestBlaster: '''"DOUBLE/FIRE BLIZZAAAAAAARRRDDD!!!"'''
* MotionCaptureMecha: Is this as its pilot Kazuya uses his Karate skills to control its movements and fight the Baam {{Robeast}} in battle.
* TelescopingRobot: It posseses two daggers on its chest which also conceal a ChestBlaster inside when unsheathed. Its feet are also armed with retractable spikes.
* TransformingMecha: It has two forms: spaceship and battle robot.

[[caption-width-right:347: [[labelnote: Young]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kid_kyoshiro.png[[/labelnote]]]]
Kazuya's best friend and pilot of the combat plane Galva FX-II. He's a fellow astronaut and an expert swordsman. As opposed to the idealistic Kazuya, Kyoshiro is a much more pragmatic person when it comes to war, but when push comes to shove, he will continue to stay and support Kazuya.
----
* AfroAsskicker: His head is on afro style and he does occasionally go over for humor, but don't let that fool you: First and foremost, he's an expert swordsman and a competent combat plane pilot.
* BadassTeacher: While not shown often, this guy is fluent in French and used to tutor the language to a noblewoman. Though it ends up with hilarious results.
* BlackBestFriend: Subverted. Kyoushiro is Japanese, but he has dark skin, curly hair and an afro.
* CoolShades: Kyoshiro's shades are cherry-red and tear drop-shaped, and somewhat resemble [[Music/TheBeatles John Lennon's]]. Whether this was a deliberate choice or not is unknown.
* CulturedBadass: Kyoshiro is a masterful swordsman who is often heard quoting philosophers and authors. In the first episode he quotes Creator/FriedrichNietzsche, and goes on to quote Marx, Goethe and Shakespeare amongst others.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Kyoshiro spent his childhood in France because his parents fled to France due to his grandfather Ittousai disapproving of his father's artistic lifestyle, which caused his mother to abandon any notions of becoming the HeirToTheDojo as grandfather wanted. Life in France turned out to be harsh, as his parents struggled to make money with arts. His father then died in a car accident, then after being driven out to streets in poverty, Kyoshiro witnessed his mother succumbing to sickness, and he had to fend for himself alone until he could return to Japan. This bitter experience caused him to develop a much more pragmatic view in life compared to Kazuya, refusing to acknowledge Ittousai as his grandfather, merely his sword instructor.
* DeadpanSnarker: Kazuya is frequently on the receiving end of Kyoshiro's snark, and his romance with Erika gives him a lot of material to work with.
-->'''Kyoushiro, during a fight with Kazuya:''' ''"Not a bad punch for someone who can only think of Erika!"''
* DubNameChange:
** Phillipine-English: '''Edward Kramer'''.
** American-English: '''Duncan'''.
** Averted in the French and Italian dubs.
* {{Expy}}: Downplayed, but he has some elements in common with Ippei Mine from ''{{Anime/Voltes V}}''. Both are Japanese, but had parents who moved to a Western country in their youth, hoping to acheive a better life, only to suffer from poverty instead - Ippei is Japanese-American and [[spoiler: his father succumbed to his illness and his mother blew herself up while they were homeless]], while Kyoshiro is Japanese-French and lost his father to a car accident and his mother to a disease. Both also had to learn to fend for themselves in said foreign country, though Ippei managed to make a career out of being a rodeo star with his [[AnimalCompanion horse, Eiffel]]. They even have the same voice actor. However, Kyoshiro at least wanted to go back to Japan, whereas Ippei was forcibly kidnapped. Kyoshiro is also a nicer person than Ippei, who in contrast is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* GirlfriendInCanada: Kyoushiro claims to have a fiancee.
* GratuitousFrench: He can speak some French since he grew up in France, but he claims to be bad at it. It becomes a point of comedy in episode 11.
* GreenAndMean: He isn't mean, but he enjoys irking Nana and Kazuya, though he will go to bat for them when they need it. He also dresses in a green trenchcoat.
* MasterSwordsman: He swings his katana that he carries everywhere just as fine as Kazuya throws his punches.
* PragmaticHero: Unlike Kazuya who's all head-over-heels over love, Kyoshiro is a much more reserved man who understood the dangers of war and love could sometimes be an obstacle. He'll chastise Kazuya over some blockheaded decisions in the name of love, but he's also very much against Miwa's extremism.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it '''Kyoshiro''' or '''Kyoushiro'''?
* TrueCompanions: In true 70's style, Kyoshiro and Kazuya may bicker and trade punches with each other, but they still trust each other to cover their backs.

Granddaughter of Daimovic Base commander Shinichirou and adopted little sister of Kazuya as well as the subpilot of Galva FX-II along with Kyoshiro. Nana admired Kazuya in just about everything and continued to support his quest. For a little girl, she's also a crack shot when given a gun.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Dogs. When Nana gets angry, she tends to make dog noises.
-->'''Nana:''' ''"Wan! Wan!"''
* BettyAndVeronica: Due to her innocent and happy-go-lucky nature, Nana is the Betty to [[DarkAndTroubledPast Erika]]'s [[SilkHidingSteel calm]] and tragic Veronica.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She doesn't like the idea of other girls getting close to Kazuya.
* TheCutie: Just look at [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nana_from_daimos.png her]]! Nana has fluffy blonde hair tied with red ribbons on each side, InnocentBlueEyes, a childlike demeanor and is ThePollyanna to Kazuya whenever he feels down.
* DubNameChange:
** Phillipine-English: '''Joanna'''. Most other dubs avert this though.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: In earlier episodes, Nana's behaviour was more brat-like, and in one episode she even ran away from the base and put herself in danger because she was upset that Kazuya didn't reciprocate her feelings. Kazuya was forced to save her, while re-assururing her that he cared about her. After this incident however, Nana's attitude changed and she began being more warm to his romance with Erika, cheering when Kazuya rescued her from the Balm's clutches and eagerly aiding him in battle.
* TheGunslinger: Nana is surprisingly skilled with a gun.
* NiceGirl: Though she may be clingy, she's a genuinely kind girl who does her best to help others around her.
* ShipperOnDeck: Nana was initially heartbroken when she found out Kazuya loved Erika, but eventually accepted that she made him happy. In future episodes, she would encourage his feelings for her.
* TrueBlueFemininity: In contrast to Erika who usually wears pink, Nana's clothing consists of a light blue shirt and a dark blue skirt, while her underclothes are yellow.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: She likes Kazuya, but he only has eyes for Erika.

The commander of Daimovic Base and Kazuya's adopted father after the death of Isamu. Shinichiro is a capable commander, but is also a relaxed man who understood his men's needs and doesn't mind hanging around with them for fun. He's also a former karateka and taught Kazuya such martial arts.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: In episode 21, he defeats Kazuya in karate despite his weight and age.
* FatAndSkinny: Izumi is the good-natured BigFun to Miwa's LeanAndMean.
* GoodParents: He is a good caretaker to his granddaughter Nana, and also raised Kazuya after Isamu's death. He was also the one who taught him karate.
* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Shinichiro loves lollipops, and whenever Cairo senses he's in a bad mood, he hands him one. He tends to slobber over lollipops as if he's a child.

[[caption-width-right:350:Okane]]
* BrawnHilda: Cairo is the particular target for her rages, as whenever she is angered, she takes out her frustrations by pounding him. She once beat up poor Shinichiro with a pan.
* HairTriggerTemper: It's pretty easy to set her off.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The 'jerk' part is because of her short temper, but the 'heart of gold' is undeniable. She genuinely cares for Kazuya, Erika, Nana, Kyoushiro and Shinichiro even though she doesn't always show it. One instance is that when she meets Erika for the first time, she ushers everyone to stop heckling her because she knows she's likely tired. Another instance is when Kazuya is saddened about losing Erika to the Balmians so she and Nana bring up his passion for drums, which lifts his mood immediately. When Shinichiro tries to intervene due to the racket it causes, she tells him to shut up.

* CuteMachines: When he's not snarking and wisecracking, Cairo can be this.
* PluckyComicRelief: A RunningGag is that Okane repeatedly takes out her frustrations by beating him as if he was a drum.

!!Sakamori Miwa (三輪 防人)
-->'''Voiced by''': Tamio Ohki
[[quoteright:666:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miwa_daimos.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350: Sakamori Miwa]]
A representative general of the United Nations in charge of the defense of Earth. A bigot that believed that all aliens are monsters and will do everything to exterminate them without mercy. He's constantly at odds with the Daimovic base and ''especially'' Kazuya for not following his extremist ways and continues to accuse and threaten them. This eventually peaked when he murdered several defenseless Balmians personally, only for Kazuya to stop playing nice and gave him a severe beating, after which he's arrested and stripped from all of his power.
----
* AnimeHair: His looks like [[Anime/DragonBallZ Vegeta's]].[[note]]''Daimos'' predates ''Dragon Ball Z'' that debuted in 1989.[[/note]]
* ARealManIsAKiller: Basically, this is what Miwa adheres. If a man is set to destroy/kill something, then he's a real man. When Kazuya, out of DespairEventHorizon with the information of Erika dying, steeled himself to destroy Balmlings, Miwa praised him, stating that it was truly how a real man would act. It landed him a punch in the face.
* ButtMonkey: In the early parts, he's usually playing the role of TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong because he kept complaining about the Daimovic's methods. Later on, it's averted when his crimes got really serious and they can't take him as a joke anymore.
* DeathByAdaptation: Expect him to [[AssholeVictim die a]] KarmicDeath in many a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' game, a video game series that is otherwise known for allowing the player to [[SparedByTheAdaptation save characters]] [[FixFic who canonically die in their home series]], ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance'' being the lone exception to this rule thus far.
* DramaticIrony: In episode 29, Miwa is awarded a ''United Nations medal'' for his efforts in stopping the Baamite invasion of Earth. Moments afterwards, he tries to use an H-bomb against the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Baamite]] {{Robeast}}, in spite of the fact that it would put innocent civilians at risk.
* FantasticRacism: To an extreme degree, he's the show's shining example of racism from humankind.
* FatAndSkinny: Miwa is the skinny to Izumi's fat, and boy, is he LeanAndMean.
* GeneralRipper: To a really unhealthy degree. He's driven with his utter hatred against Balmians and his desire to get on the top of the power chain.
* GoodHairEvilHair: Sports a pencil mustache. Doesn't twirl it as much, but it sure shows that he's supposed to be a bad man.
* HateSink: Inbetween his extreme racism, his disregard for human lives as long as it gets to his goal of more promotion and power, and constantly being an obstacle to Daimovic and the efforts of peace between humans and Balmians, you're supposed to cheer when Kazuya [[WhatTheHellHero yells at him]] or [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown finally let it rip on him.]]
* HumansAreBastards: He's the in-universe example for Erika and Richter. On witnessing his brutality subjected on her and her mentor firsthand, Erika admitted to Kazuya that she thought all humans were wonderful, but seeing Miwa changed her mind (though not completely generalizing the race). Richter had the unfortunate fate that every time he meets a human other than Kazuya, it's ''always'' Miwa and people like him, therefore concluding that every humans are barbarous beings that cannot stand together with Balmians in peace.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even before his true colors are shown, Miwa shows himself to be a nasty and disagreeable man.
* TheNeidermeyer: All of his attempts to defend against Balmians end in failure, and he'll gladly take 'acceptable human casualties', but he'll expect Daimos to save the day and his own hide. Even Kazuya is not pleased, and he eventually loses patience with Miwa altogether.
* PetTheDog: Surprisingly, he does have one instance of doing so in Episode 6, when he gives his condolences to Kazuya when it looks like Erika has died, and apologizes for thinking she was a spy. Unfortunately, this turns out to be an isolated moment.
* PointyHairedBoss: Well, more like spiky-haired, but the point still stands that he fits a lot of this trope's incompetence.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Bar none, for a show that tries to highlight GreyAndGrayMorality on both sides, Miwa is unique among the human characters for his extreme racism and disregard for the lives of both Balmians and his own men. While there a few racist human characters, they were either a small portion of nameless crowds or eventually learned the errors of their ways. Miwa, on the other hand, is evil through and through.
* VillainTeamUp: Joins forces with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Muruta Azrael]] in ''Super Robot Wars Alpha 3''.

[[folder:Reiko]]
[[quoteright:429:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reiko_daimos.png]]
[[caption-width-right:429:Reiko]]
A former student of Kyoushiro's, who he taught French to.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Reiko is smitten with Kyoushiro and is too dumb to see that he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. Kazuya and Nana find Kyoushiro's discomfort around her hilarious. However, by the end of the episode, she's lost her feelings for him.
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: She's hell-bent on marrying Kyoushiro and plans their wedding moments after re-uniting with him, despite Kyoushiro being visibly appalled by the idea.
* TheDitz: She's under the impression that Kyoushiro is in love with her because he told her "I love you" one day when they were studying. However, the event actually went like this.
--> ''(Scene: Kyoushiro and Reiko sitting at a library together, while the former holds a textbook)''
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"Come on, at least try to read it."''
-->'''Reiko:''' '' (throws her head back) "I've had enough! I can't figure it out! Why do I have to waste my time with this?"''
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"What a bother. Okay, just remember this then: Je t'aime."''
-->'''Reiko:''' ''"Je t'aime? What does that mean?"''
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"It means 'I love you'. Come on, you do the next one."''
-->'''Reiko:''' ''(eyes widen) "Say it one more time, please?"''
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"Okay, okay. As much as you like. Je t'aime. Je t'aime. Je t'aaiiime!"''
-->'''Reiko:''' ''"So that's how you feel..."''
* DreamWorksFace: Adding to her TheDitz status, Reiko makes [[https://i.ibb.co/Gk3rTv5/dremaoerks.png one]] as she's confident that Kyoushiro confessed his love to her.
* IHaveYourWife: Balbas holds Reiko hostage to coerce Kyoushiro into giving him Daimos's blueprints. He tells Shinichiro, who sends him with Cairo's blueprints instead, because he knows Balbas can't tell.
* {{Irony}}: Reiko is an UpperClassTwit who looks down on the poor, but she loves Kyoushiro, who's family suffered from poverty while they lived in France.
* ItsAllAboutMe: While she's at the beach, she straight up tells Kyoushiro that she doesn't care about the Earth or Daimovic, and then later accuses him of "not caring about her".
* {{Ojou}}: Reiko is from a wealthy family, and she met Kyoushiro when they arranged for her to have a home tutor to teach her French.
* RichBitch: It isn't overt, but she looks down on the poor. She asked Kazuya to open a car door for her, as if he was a valet, instead of doing it herself.
-->'''Reiko:''' ''"Spending time with people of the lower classes can make for some quality entertainment!"''
** This makes her crush on Kyoushiro '''deeply''' ironic considering he quoted Karl Marx in episode 4.
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"As Marx said, doubt everything"''
* SitcomArchnemesis: Her snobby attitude earns her one in Nana.
* SpoiledBrat: On the surface, Reiko is a polite ProperLady. However, when she doesn't get her away, she resorts to crying and throwing tantrums.
* TaremeEyes: Reiko's eyes are this whenever she's around Kyoushiro.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Reiko's turtleneck sweater and skirt are baby blue, and she also dons a blue hat with a blue ribbon.
* UpperClassTwit: Intelligence isn't her strong point. Even when she's held hostage by Balbas, she doesn't take the situation seriously and continues to annoy him, even though it could get her killed.

[[folder:Sayuri]]
[[quoteright:382:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sayuri_not_erika2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:529:Sayuri]]
A Earthling woman from Japan who bears an unfortunate resemblance to a certain Balm Princess. She hails from Kurasaki.
----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: By the end of the epiode, being touched by Kazuya's genuinity and sweetness, Sayuri falls for him. However, she acknowledges that his heart belongs to Erika.
-->'''Sayuri:''' ''"I'm jealous of Erika....because she has you waiting for her."''
* AnAesop: Sayuri's arc is about the dangers of hatred and unlearning it. She used to be a bigot towards the Balmites, until she met Kazuya. Her calling for the death of all Balmites comes to bite her when Miwa mistakes her for the Balmite Princess Erika, and orders for her to be locked up.
* FantasticRacism: Sayuri despises the Balmites after they ravaged her home, the town of Kurasaki, and murdered several people including her parents. However, she is talked out of her hatred by Kazuya, who tells her that there are peace loving Balmites out there, such as the woman he loves, Erika.
* {{Foil}}: To Erika.
** Both Erika and Sayuri look near-identical, down to their hair and facial features.
** Erika lost her father to the humans[[note]]Or, more accurately, was under the impression she lost her father to the humans[[/note]] and Sayuri lost hers to the Balmites. However, Erika didn't let hatred consume her and honoured her father's desire for universal peace, whereas Sayuri was distraught after becoming an orphan and wanted to annihilate every Balm as revenge.
** Erika was trained as a doctor under Dr. Ourin, while Sayuri is seen tending to Kazuya's wounds after she shot him.
* HimeCut: Though she's not a Princess, Sayuri's hair is styled this way, which tends to get her confused for Erika. However, her hair is [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sayuri_not_erika.png a bit more uneven]] in comparision.
* IHaveYourWife: Balbas takes advantage of her resemblance to Erika to taunt Kazuya into abandoning Daimos, saying he'll choke her to death if he doesn't.
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Kazuya says that if Sayuri kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it.
* KillAllHumans: Inverted. Sayuri says this word-for-word about the Balmites as she's being treated for her injuries in the hospital.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Kazuya asks the doctor at the Kurasaki hospital to treat an injured Balmite soldier, he refuses, saying that he doesn't have time to treat the enemy. When Kazuya insists an injured man can't fight, many of the hospital's inhabitants curse him and call him a traitor, and an enraged Sayuri grabs Nana's gun and shoots him. However, after doing so, she's frozen with shock, realizing the gravity of her actions.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Reiko from episode 11. Both are one-note characters who Balbas uses as hostages and dress in light blue, and also have unrequited crushes on one of the anime's male characters.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics : Sayuri has a pink bow on each side of her head.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Sayuri's PimpedOutDress is blue.
* YouKilledMyFather: Sayuri despises the Balmites because they attempted to abduct her parents and force them into slavery. When she tried to rescue them, her attempt WentHorriblyWrong and ended with their deaths. As a result, she swore to [[LeaveNoSurvivors kill them all]].

[[folder:Kazuya Ryuuzaki]]
!!Kazuya Ryuzaki (竜崎 一矢)
-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AkiraKamiya
The main character of the series. An astronaut, karateka and pilot of the titular machine Daimos. Kazuya's father Isamu was killed during an attempt to broker peace with the Balmians. During his first battle with Daimos, Kazuya found an amnesiac girl named Erika and fell in love, despite eventually learning that she was actually the Princess of Balm. His love continues to drive him forward despite others warning him against it. Along the way, he learns that the Balmians are more than just mere invaders, and how some of the men fighting for his side weren't that squeaky clean.
----
[[quoteright:544:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kazuya_daimos.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:544: Kazuya Ryuzaki]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kazuya is an idealistic man fighting for love, and in lighthearted times, act like a relaxed friend to Kyoshiro and an inspiring brother figure to Nana, and of course, will commit himself to the defense of Earth in his own way. He'll try to be nice with even the most obstructive man, but cross the line too much and that's it, no more Mr. NiceGuy, he'll beat the crap out of you without mercy.
* CallingYourAttacks: Aside of activating Daimos' weaponry, he has a ton of special finishing moves, and you bet he'll call out each one of them. '''"Hissatsu! Reppu! Daimo Kick/Chop!/Seikenzuki!"'''
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He can cut down and shatter weapons with just bare-handed punches or kicks, even on foot! And this is even translated to Daimos: Using Reppu Seikenzuki means he punches so hard, Daimos' fist impales through the enemy robot.
* ChickMagnet: Kazuya captures the hearts of Erika, Nana, Sayuri and possibly [[AmbiguouslyGay Halleck]].
* DubNameChange:
** Phillipine-English: '''Richard Hartford'''.
** Starbirds dub: '''Kelly Hunter'''.
** Averted in the French and Italian dubs where he stays '''Kazuya Ryuuzaki'''.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Near the end of the series, [[spoiler:as part of her BatmanGambit, Erika betrays Kazuya. This made Kazuya utterly heartbroken... but even if he was in pain due to the betrayal, he still summoned enough willpower to finish the mission of brokering peace between humans and Balmians... the willpower ends up being ''doubled'' when he eventually learns that Erika was just staging her betrayal.]]
* TheHero: Of the series. As opposed to his other [[Anime/CombattlerV Nagahama]] [[Anime/VoltesV compatriots]], Kazuya pilots alone, though he sometimes has backup from Kyoshiro and Nana.
* HotBlooded: He's a hero of a 70's Super Robot anime and is voiced by Creator/AkiraKamiya. There's just no way he can't be this.
* TheIdealist: People around him are usually sarcastic about love and the nature of Balmians. On the other hand, Kazuya continued to believe in ThePowerOfLove and the good within all living beings. For the most part, he's proven right, although sometimes he found exceptions.
* IdiotHero: Downplayed. Kazuya is not really stupid, but he's absolutely guileless and thinks with his heart more than with his brain.
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Much like his predecessor [[Anime/VoltesV Kenichi]], Kazuya is a firm believer of this trope. He tells Sayuri that if she kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it.
* ManlyTears: And he has tons of it to spare, upon witnessing things like Erika's situation or finding noble men all around that ended up sacrificing their lives for the greater good, Kazuya will let the waterworks flow.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Besides the BareFistedMonk method of fighting that Daimos uses, it has no less than eight melee weapons that it frequently uses. Considering that Daimos is a MotionCaptureMecha, it means that Kazuya must be good at using these weapons himself.
* ThePowerOfLove: Whenever he thinks of Erika and his love for her, his willpower gets boosted, enough to turn around difficult battles.
* RageBreakingPoint: Kazuya prefers diplomacy, words, or at worst harsh warnings when it comes to racism, especially from Miwa. But the moment Miwa is seen gunning down human and Balm civilians, Kazuya goes absolutely apeshit and wants nothing but to kill Miwa with his bare hands.
* StarCrossedLover: His forbidden love with Erika drives the majority of the story.
* TrainingFromHell: When he was 14, he got into an accident, which forced him into a rehabilitation and it looked more like the trope. Kazuya survived all those, becoming an even more powerful fighter afterwards.
* YouKilledMyFather: Actually averted and it shows a great contrast with Richter. Kazuya lost his father to the Balmians, but he didn't make it a super big deal unlike Richter, who was consumed with vengeance over his father's death.

* ExpressiveMask: Somehow it was capable of making facial expressions — like opening its mouth when hit, as if screaming in pain — despite being a piece of metal.
* CoolCar: Kazuya's Tryper 75S is this as it allows him to board inside a Cool Tranzer, which in turn transforms into Daimos.
* ChestBlaster: '''"DOUBLE/FIRE BLIZZAAAAAAARRRDDD!!!"'''
* MotionCaptureMecha: Is this as its pilot Kazuya uses his Karate skills to control its movements and fight the Baam {{Robeast}} in battle.

Kazuya's best friend and pilot of the combat plane Galva FX-II. He's a fellow astronaut and an expert swordsman. As opposed to the idealistic Kazuya, Kyoshiro is a much more pragmatic person when it comes to war, but when push comes to shove, he will continue to stay and support Kazuya.
----
* AfroAsskicker: His head is on afro style and he does occasionally go over for humor, but don't let that fool you: First and foremost, he's an expert swordsman and a competent combat plane pilot.
* BadassTeacher: While not shown often, this guy is fluent in French and used to tutor the language to a noblewoman. Though it ends up with hilarious results.
* BlackBestFriend: Subverted. Kyoushiro is Japanese, but he has dark skin, curly hair and an afro.
* CoolShades: Kyoshiro's shades are cherry-red and tear drop-shaped, and somewhat resemble [[Music/TheBeatles John Lennon's]]. Whether this was a deliberate choice or not is unknown.
* CulturedBadass: Kyoshiro is a masterful swordsman who is often heard quoting philosophers and authors. In the first episode he quotes Creator/FriedrichNietzsche, and goes on to quote Marx, Goethe and Shakespeare amongst others.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Kyoshiro spent his childhood in France because his parents fled to France due to his grandfather Ittousai disapproving of his father's artistic lifestyle, which caused his mother to abandon any notions of becoming the HeirToTheDojo as grandfather wanted. Life in France turned out to be harsh, as his parents struggled to make money with arts. His father then died in a car accident, then after being driven out to streets in poverty, Kyoshiro witnessed his mother succumbing to sickness, and he had to fend for himself alone until he could return to Japan. This bitter experience caused him to develop a much more pragmatic view in life compared to Kazuya, refusing to acknowledge Ittousai as his grandfather, merely his sword instructor.
* DeadpanSnarker: Kazuya is frequently on the receiving end of Kyoshiro's snark, and his romance with Erika gives him a lot of material to work with.
-->'''Kyoushiro, during a fight with Kazuya:''' ''"Not a bad punch for someone who can only think of Erika!"''
* DubNameChange:
** Phillipine-English: '''Edward Kramer'''.
** American-English: '''Duncan'''.
** Averted in the French and Italian dubs.
* {{Expy}}: Downplayed, but he has some elements in common with Ippei Mine from ''{{Anime/Voltes V}}''. Both are Japanese, but had parents who moved to a Western country in their youth, hoping to acheive a better life, only to suffer from poverty instead - Ippei is Japanese-American and [[spoiler: his father succumbed to his illness and his mother blew herself up while they were homeless]], while Kyoshiro is Japanese-French and lost his father to a car accident and his mother to a disease. Both also had to learn to fend for themselves in said foreign country, though Ippei managed to make a career out of being a rodeo star with his [[AnimalCompanion horse, Eiffel]]. They even have the same voice actor. However, Kyoshiro at least wanted to go back to Japan, whereas Ippei was forcibly kidnapped. Kyoshiro is also a nicer person than Ippei, who in contrast is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* GirlfriendInCanada: Kyoushiro claims to have a fiancee.
* GratuitousFrench: He can speak some French since he grew up in France, but he claims to be bad at it. It becomes a point of comedy in episode 11.
* GreenAndMean: He isn't mean, but he enjoys irking Nana and Kazuya, though he will go to bat for them when they need it. He also dresses in a green trenchcoat.
* MasterSwordsman: He swings his katana that he carries everywhere just as fine as Kazuya throws his punches.
* PragmaticHero: Unlike Kazuya who's all head-over-heels over love, Kyoshiro is a much more reserved man who understood the dangers of war and love could sometimes be an obstacle. He'll chastise Kazuya over some blockheaded decisions in the name of love, but he's also very much against Miwa's extremism.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it '''Kyoshiro''' or '''Kyoushiro'''?
* TrueCompanions: In true 70's style, Kyoshiro and Kazuya may bicker and trade punches with each other, but they still trust each other to cover their backs.

Granddaughter of Daimovic Base commander Shinichirou and adopted little sister of Kazuya as well as the subpilot of Galva FX-II along with Kyoshiro. Nana admired Kazuya in just about everything and continued to support his quest. For a little girl, she's also a crack shot when given a gun.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Dogs. When Nana gets angry, she tends to make dog noises.
-->'''Nana:''' ''"Wan! Wan!"''
* BettyAndVeronica: Due to her innocent and happy-go-lucky nature, Nana is the Betty to [[DarkAndTroubledPast Erika]]'s [[SilkHidingSteel calm]] and tragic Veronica.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She doesn't like the idea of other girls getting close to Kazuya.
* TheCutie: Just look at [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nana_from_daimos.png her]]! Nana has fluffy blonde hair tied with red ribbons on each side, InnocentBlueEyes, a childlike demeanor and is ThePollyanna to Kazuya whenever he feels down.
* DubNameChange:
** Phillipine-English: '''Joanna'''. Most other dubs avert this though.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: In earlier episodes, Nana's behaviour was more brat-like, and in one episode she even ran away from the base and put herself in danger because she was upset that Kazuya didn't reciprocate her feelings. Kazuya was forced to save her, while re-assururing her that he cared about her. After this incident however, Nana's attitude changed and she began being more warm to his romance with Erika, cheering when Kazuya rescued her from the Balm's clutches and eagerly aiding him in battle.
* TheGunslinger: Nana is surprisingly skilled with a gun.
* NiceGirl: Though she may be clingy, she's a genuinely kind girl who does her best to help others around her.
* ShipperOnDeck: Nana was initially heartbroken when she found out Kazuya loved Erika, but eventually accepted that she made him happy. In future episodes, she would encourage his feelings for her.
* TrueBlueFemininity: In contrast to Erika who usually wears pink, Nana's clothing consists of a light blue shirt and a dark blue skirt, while her underclothes are yellow.

The commander of Daimovic Base and Kazuya's adopted father after the death of Isamu. Shinichiro is a capable commander, but is also a relaxed man who understood his men's needs and doesn't mind hanging around with them for fun. He's also a former karateka and taught Kazuya such martial arts.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: In episode 21, he defeats Kazuya in karate despite his weight and age.
* FatAndSkinny: Izumi is the good-natured BigFun to Miwa's LeanAndMean.
* GoodParents: He is a good caretaker to his granddaughter Nana, and also raised Kazuya after Isamu's death. He was also the one who taught him karate.

[[caption-width-right:350:Okane]]
* BrawnHilda: Cairo is the particular target for her rages, as whenever she is angered, she takes out her frustrations by pounding him. She once beat up poor Shinichiro with a pan.
* HairTriggerTemper: It's pretty easy to set her off.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The 'jerk' part is because of her short temper, but the 'heart of gold' is undeniable. She genuinely cares for Kazuya, Erika, Nana, Kyoushiro and Shinichiro even though she doesn't always show it. One instance is that when she meets Erika for the first time, she ushers everyone to stop heckling her because she knows she's likely tired. Another instance is when Kazuya is saddened about losing Erika to the Balmians so she and Nana bring up his passion for drums, which lifts his mood immediately. When Shinichiro tries to intervene due to the racket it causes, she tells him to shut up.

* PluckyComicRelief: A RunningGag is that Okane repeatedly takes out her frustrations by beating him as if he was a drum.

[[caption-width-right:350: Sakamori Miwa]]
A representative general of the United Nations in charge of the defense of Earth. A bigot that believed that all aliens are monsters and will do everything to exterminate them without mercy. He's constantly at odds with the Daimovic base and ''especially'' Kazuya for not following his extremist ways and continues to accuse and threaten them. This eventually peaked when he murdered several defenseless Balmians personally, only for Kazuya to stop playing nice and gave him a severe beating, after which he's arrested and stripped from all of his power.
----
* AnimeHair: His looks like [[Anime/DragonBallZ Vegeta's]].[[note]]''Daimos'' predates ''Dragon Ball Z'' that debuted in 1989.[[/note]]
* ARealManIsAKiller: Basically, this is what Miwa adheres. If a man is set to destroy/kill something, then he's a real man. When Kazuya, out of DespairEventHorizon with the information of Erika dying, steeled himself to destroy Balmlings, Miwa praised him, stating that it was truly how a real man would act. It landed him a punch in the face.
* ButtMonkey: In the early parts, he's usually playing the role of TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong because he kept complaining about the Daimovic's methods. Later on, it's averted when his crimes got really serious and they can't take him as a joke anymore.
* DeathByAdaptation: Expect him to [[AssholeVictim die a]] KarmicDeath in many a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' game, a video game series that is otherwise known for allowing the player to [[SparedByTheAdaptation save characters]] [[FixFic who canonically die in their home series]], ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance'' being the lone exception to this rule thus far.
* DramaticIrony: In episode 29, Miwa is awarded a ''United Nations medal'' for his efforts in stopping the Baamite invasion of Earth. Moments afterwards, he tries to use an H-bomb against the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Baamite]] {{Robeast}}, in spite of the fact that it would put innocent civilians at risk.
* FantasticRacism: To an extreme degree, he's the show's shining example of racism from humankind.
* FatAndSkinny: Miwa is the skinny to Izumi's fat, and boy, is he LeanAndMean.
* GeneralRipper: To a really unhealthy degree. He's driven with his utter hatred against Balmians and his desire to get on the top of the power chain.
* GoodHairEvilHair: Sports a pencil mustache. Doesn't twirl it as much, but it sure shows that he's supposed to be a bad man.
* HateSink: Inbetween his extreme racism, his disregard for human lives as long as it gets to his goal of more promotion and power, and constantly being an obstacle to Daimovic and the efforts of peace between humans and Balmians, you're supposed to cheer when Kazuya [[WhatTheHellHero yells at him]] or [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown finally let it rip on him.]]
* HumansAreBastards: He's the in-universe example for Erika and Richter. On witnessing his brutality subjected on her and her mentor firsthand, Erika admitted to Kazuya that she thought all humans were wonderful, but seeing Miwa changed her mind (though not completely generalizing the race). Richter had the unfortunate fate that every time he meets a human other than Kazuya, it's ''always'' Miwa and people like him, therefore concluding that every humans are barbarous beings that cannot stand together with Balmians in peace.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even before his true colors are shown, Miwa shows himself to be a nasty and disagreeable man.
* TheNeidermeyer: All of his attempts to defend against Balmians end in failure, and he'll gladly take 'acceptable human casualties', but he'll expect Daimos to save the day and his own hide. Even Kazuya is not pleased, and he eventually loses patience with Miwa altogether.
* PetTheDog: Surprisingly, he does have one instance of doing so in Episode 6, when he gives his condolences to Kazuya when it looks like Erika has died, and apologizes for thinking she was a spy. Unfortunately, this turns out to be an isolated moment.
* PointyHairedBoss: Well, more like spiky-haired, but the point still stands that he fits a lot of this trope's incompetence.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Bar none, for a show that tries to highlight GreyAndGrayMorality on both sides, Miwa is unique among the human characters for his extreme racism and disregard for the lives of both Balmians and his own men. While there a few racist human characters, they were either a small portion of nameless crowds or eventually learned the errors of their ways. Miwa, on the other hand, is evil through and through.
* VillainTeamUp: Joins forces with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Muruta Azrael]] in ''Super Robot Wars Alpha 3''.

[[folder:Reiko]]
[[quoteright:429:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reiko_daimos.png]]
[[caption-width-right:429:Reiko]]
A former student of Kyoushiro's, who he taught French to.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Reiko is smitten with Kyoushiro and is too dumb to see that he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. Kazuya and Nana find Kyoushiro's discomfort around her hilarious. However, by the end of the episode, she's lost her feelings for him.
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: She's hell-bent on marrying Kyoushiro and plans their wedding moments after re-uniting with him, despite Kyoushiro being visibly appalled by the idea.
* TheDitz: She's under the impression that Kyoushiro is in love with her because he told her "I love you" one day when they were studying. However, the event actually went like this.
--> ''(Scene: Kyoushiro and Reiko sitting at a library together, while the former holds a textbook)''
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"Come on, at least try to read it."''
-->'''Reiko:''' '' (throws her head back) "I've had enough! I can't figure it out! Why do I have to waste my time with this?"''
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"What a bother. Okay, just remember this then: Je t'aime."''
-->'''Reiko:''' ''"Je t'aime? What does that mean?"''
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"It means 'I love you'. Come on, you do the next one."''
-->'''Reiko:''' ''(eyes widen) "Say it one more time, please?"''
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"Okay, okay. As much as you like. Je t'aime. Je t'aime. Je t'aaiiime!"''
-->'''Reiko:''' ''"So that's how you feel..."''
* DreamWorksFace: Adding to her TheDitz status, Reiko makes [[https://i.ibb.co/Gk3rTv5/dremaoerks.png one]] as she's confident that Kyoushiro confessed his love to her.
* IHaveYourWife: Balbas holds Reiko hostage to coerce Kyoushiro into giving him Daimos's blueprints. He tells Shinichiro, who sends him with Cairo's blueprints instead, because he knows Balbas can't tell.
* {{Irony}}: Reiko is an UpperClassTwit who looks down on the poor, but she loves Kyoushiro, who's family suffered from poverty while they lived in France.
* ItsAllAboutMe: While she's at the beach, she straight up tells Kyoushiro that she doesn't care about the Earth or Daimovic, and then later accuses him of "not caring about her".
* {{Ojou}}: Reiko is from a wealthy family, and she met Kyoushiro when they arranged for her to have a home tutor to teach her French.
* RichBitch: It isn't overt, but she looks down on the poor. She asked Kazuya to open a car door for her, as if he was a valet, instead of doing it herself.
-->'''Reiko:''' ''"Spending time with people of the lower classes can make for some quality entertainment!"''
** This makes her crush on Kyoushiro '''deeply''' ironic considering he quoted Karl Marx in episode 4.
-->'''Kyoushiro:''' ''"As Marx said, doubt everything"''
* SitcomArchnemesis: Her snobby attitude earns her one in Nana.
* SpoiledBrat: On the surface, Reiko is a polite ProperLady. However, when she doesn't get her away, she resorts to crying and throwing tantrums.
* TaremeEyes: Reiko's eyes are this whenever she's around Kyoushiro.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Reiko's turtleneck sweater and skirt are baby blue, and she also dons a blue hat with a blue ribbon.
* UpperClassTwit: Intelligence isn't her strong point. Even when she's held hostage by Balbas, she doesn't take the situation seriously and continues to annoy him, even though it could get her killed.

[[folder:Sayuri]]
[[quoteright:382:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sayuri_not_erika2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:529:Sayuri]]
A Earthling woman from Japan who bears an unfortunate resemblance to a certain Balm Princess. She hails from Kurasaki.
----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: By the end of the epiode, being touched by Kazuya's genuinity and sweetness, Sayuri falls for him. However, she acknowledges that his heart belongs to Erika.
-->'''Sayuri:''' ''"I'm jealous of Erika....because she has you waiting for her."''
* AnAesop: Sayuri's arc is about the dangers of hatred and unlearning it. She used to be a bigot towards the Balmites, until she met Kazuya. Her calling for the death of all Balmites comes to bite her when Miwa mistakes her for the Balmite Princess Erika, and orders for her to be locked up.
* FantasticRacism: Sayuri despises the Balmites after they ravaged her home, the town of Kurasaki, and murdered several people including her parents. However, she is talked out of her hatred by Kazuya, who tells her that there are peace loving Balmites out there, such as the woman he loves, Erika.
* {{Foil}}: To Erika.
** Both Erika and Sayuri look near-identical, down to their hair and facial features.
** Erika lost her father to the humans[[note]]Or, more accurately, was under the impression she lost her father to the humans[[/note]] and Sayuri lost hers to the Balmites. However, Erika didn't let hatred consume her and honoured her father's desire for universal peace, whereas Sayuri was distraught after becoming an orphan and wanted to annihilate every Balm as revenge.
** Erika was trained as a doctor under Dr. Ourin, while Sayuri is seen tending to Kazuya's wounds after she shot him.
* HimeCut: Though she's not a Princess, Sayuri's hair is styled this way, which tends to get her confused for Erika. However, her hair is [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sayuri_not_erika.png a bit more uneven]] in comparision.
* IHaveYourWife: Balbas takes advantage of her resemblance to Erika to taunt Kazuya into abandoning Daimos, saying he'll choke her to death if he doesn't.
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Kazuya says that if Sayuri kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it.
* KillAllHumans: Inverted. Sayuri says this word-for-word about the Balmites as she's being treated for her injuries in the hospital.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Kazuya asks the doctor at the Kurasaki hospital to treat an injured Balmite soldier, he refuses, saying that he doesn't have time to treat the enemy. When Kazuya insists an injured man can't fight, many of the hospital's inhabitants curse him and call him a traitor, and an enraged Sayuri grabs Nana's gun and shoots him. However, after doing so, she's frozen with shock, realizing the gravity of her actions.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Reiko from episode 11. Both are one-note characters who Balbas uses as hostages and dress in light blue, and also have unrequited crushes on one of the anime's male characters.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics : Sayuri has a pink bow on each side of her head.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Sayuri's PimpedOutDress is blue.
* YouKilledMyFather: Sayuri despises the Balmites because they attempted to abduct her parents and force them into slavery. When she tried to rescue them, her attempt WentHorriblyWrong and ended with their deaths. As a result, she swore to [[LeaveNoSurvivors kill them all]].
