Often this comes at the rest of his co-workers' expense, though it's always in the name of light-hearted fun.

!!Koki Saiki
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshimasaHosoya

A new hire much like Higashida, Saiki spent much of his childhood out of Japan, and as a result he can barely read or speak Japanese. When a friend sent an application with his personal info on it as a prank, he was obviously at a loss at what to do about it. Despite this communication problem however Sakaki hires him ''anyway'', and as a result he's now under Kisaki's dubious tutelage.




* BrutalHonesty: Since Saiki never grew up in Japan, he never developed the usual societal filters the rest of his co-workers have. As such whenever he notices something, it's likely that he'll comment on it, regardless of the possible consequences. For example, him noting that Shiho should just stop being mean for Yuuta rejecting her ''years'' ago nearly made Shiho attack him.
* GratuitousEnglish: Despite the fact that Saiki is a native English speaker who has very little knowledge of conversational Japanese, most of his actual dialogue (including conversations in which he's being corrected after saying the wrong thing) is in Japanese. However, at one point after he messes up a Japanese phrase to a customer, he has a on-screen conversation with Kisaki in English. However, very little of it is comprehensible without subtitles.
* {{Malaproper}}: As he's just getting used to speaking Japanese again, Saiki mixes up a lot of words and phrases. See how he accidentally uses ''tenshi'' (meaning angel) instead of ''kenshi'' (meaning swordsman) when Shiho tried to attack him.
* NiceGuy: He tries to get along with everyone, and only really fails when his Japanese fails.
* MoralityPet: Kenichiro notes that Kisaki tends to go easy on him.
* OnlySaneEmployee: Zig-zagged. The only weird thing about him is understandable due to not having a good grasp of japanese but he still manages to deliver the most provoking phrases in the show.
* StraightMan: Played with. He's never shown doing anything overly zany (particularly compared to the rest of the staff) and before he says anything, Nagata even has him pegged as a "normal person." Unfortunately, his linguistic mistakes are generally timed in a way that makes him come off as a total space case.

A regular customer of Wagnaria, Yanagiba is actually one of Higashida's classmates, but never been able to go to school, supposedly due to her her weak constitution. Of course, this doesn't seem to prevent her from hanging around Wagnaria every day, so Higashida thinks that she's just using her physical problems as an excuse to ''never'' come to school. Oh, and according to Muranushi, her long-departed grandfather is ''still'' one of the restaurants regular customers.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Higashida is generally the StraightMan at the restaurant, but he has moments where his logic and reasoning is just about as wacky as everyone else's.

This is already pretty wacky logic, but its even worse because Higashida knows that Miyakoshi only wants to date him because she was told by a shared hallucination that it would somehow improve her cooking ability.

Can't call her oblivious if Adachi himself rejects her. Plus the recent episode implies she's been aware of his feelings from the start and was waiting for him to make a move.


* ObliviousToLove: Both Higashida and her fail to notice Saitou's obvious crush on the latter. Shiho voices her concern on having to act as the StraightMan for once. There's also the fact that both Saitou and Adachi seem to have crushes on her, but she instead believes she mentally scarred them with the sight of her real smile.

OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, Daisuke is the primary viewpoint character of ''WWW.Working!!'' He was forced to find part-time work at the local branch of Wagnaria after his father lost his job recently.

One of the two regular chefs of Wagnaria, Masahiro is much more down to earth and less prone to theatrics as his kitchen co-worker is. Though generally used to the quirks of the other restaurant staff, Muranushi often throws him off balance, especially doing those rare times where she tries to emote.

\n* UnConfession: In order to clear up a misunderstanding caused by a panicked reaction, Adachi tells Muranushi that he likes her, twice in a row. After a few seconds pass, he apparently reconsiders and adds in "relatively speaking." She buys the qualifier.




* ButtMonkey: Though not as severe as some of the other male characters, he gets treated this way as well, such as when Miri was planning to give him some chocolates on Valentine's Day out of pity, only to then ask if she can eat it herself.

* ThrowTheDogABone: Episode 7. First he gets a lottery ticket that can free him of his debt which saddens Shiho. He eventually gives the ticket away due to mix of fear for his life and genuine regret at making her cry. Said act had the benefit of not only getting him on Shiho's good side but turns out the ticket was worthless anyway.

The manager of this Wagnaria. While he doesn't seem to be too bright, he's still able to keep his employees in line somewhat. Hana says he has a glass jaw however, and as a result he becomes a regular target of her punches.

A new hire much like Daisuke, Koki spent much of his childhood out of Japan, and as a result he can barely read or speak Japanese. When a friend sent an application with his personal info on it as a prank, he was obviously at a loss at what to do about it. Despite this communication problem however Sakaki hires him ''anyway'', and as a result he's now under Kisaki's dubious tutelage.

* {{Malaproper}}: As he's just getting used to speaking Japanese again, Saiki mixes up a lot of words and phrases. See how he accidentally uses ''tenshi'' (meaning angel) instead of ''kenshi'' (meaning swordsman) when Shiho tried to attack him.
* NiceGuy: He tries to get along with everyone.

to:

* GratuitousEnglish: Despite the fact that Saiki is a native English speaker who has very little knowledge of conversational Japanese, most of his actual dialogue (including conversations in which he's being corrected after saying the wrong thing) is in Japanese. However, at one point after he messes up a Japanese phrase to a customer, he has a on-screen conversation with Kisaki in English. However, very little of it is comprehensible without subtitles.

to:

* StraightMan: Played with. He's never shown doing anything overly zany (particularly compared to the rest of the staff) and before he says anything, Nagata even has him pegged as a "normal person." Unfortunately, his linguistic mistakes are generally timed in a way that makes him come off as a total space case.



A regular customer of Wagnaria, Miri is known for how she wears thick Winter clothing despite it being the height of Summer. While initially mistaken for a ghost, Daisuke soon finds out that she's a classmate of his, but has never been able to go to school because of her weak constitution. Of course, since she seems perfectly fine hanging around Wagnaria every day, he thinks that she's just using her physical problems as an excuse to ''never'' come to school. Oh, and according to Sayuri, her long-departed grandfather is ''still'' one of the restaurants regular customers.
