7 | [[caption-width-right:250:''ENO! SHIMA! DON!'']] |
8 | |
9 | An anxious, red-headed youth who just moved to Enoshima island with his grandmother, Keito. He is probably the main character. |
10 | ---- |
11 | * AudienceSurrogate: At the end of each episode, he takes on a narrative role; the narrations show that the events of Tsuritama have already happened and Yuki is reflecting on all of the events as the audience watches them unfold. |
12 | * ButNotTooForeign: He's one quarter-French and three quarters-Japanese, he gets his French blood from his grandmother, Kate. |
13 | * DemonHead: When he gets really nervous his face becomes like this, but he can't help it. It's really very embarrassing for him. |
14 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Does this to Haru [[spoiler: after he makes everyone leave Enoshima to protect them from Urara and he falls into a state where he believes everything is pointless in trying to stop Urara, a slap from Yuki snaps him out of it.]] |
15 | * NewTransferStudent: He's transferred many times, and because of this and his shyness, he never really made any friends. |
16 | * NoSocialSkills: He gradually gets better, but still has outbursts of social anxiety. |
17 | * ParentalAbandonment: It's never mentioned what happened to them, but for one reason or another, Yuki has been raised by his grandmother. |
18 | %% * ShrinkingViolet: At first. |
19 | %% * TookALevelInBadass: Watch and see. |
20 | |
21 | !! Haru |
22 | ->Voiced by: Creator/MiyuIrino (Japanese), Creator/ClintBickham (English) |

25 | [[caption-width-right:250:''I'm Haru! I'm an alien!'']] |
26 | |
27 | An alien from an unspecified planet who decided to become Yuki's friend and fish together, with or without Yuki's agreement. He transfers to Yuki's class on the same day as him, and even moves into his house. Claims to be saving the world from...something. |
28 | ---- |
29 | %% * AlienAmongUs |
30 | %% * [[spoiler: {{Animorphism}}: Can turn into a betta fish. Quite possibly, the fish is his default form.]] |
31 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Certainly well-intentioned enough though. He ''wants'' to understand how humans think and feel, but he doesn't understand at first that people don't appreciate being mind-controlled even though it makes them cooperate, that DeathIsASadThing, that "I'm sorry" doesn't solve everything, and he only feels sorrow for the first time while on Earth. |
32 | %% * {{Cloudcuckoolander}} |
33 | * FreakOut: He absolutely ''loses'' it after [[spoiler:his siter Coco [[NotQuiteDead seemingly]] dies.]] |
34 | %% * HumanAliens: [[spoiler: The vast majority of the time.]] |
35 | %% * LargeHam: |
36 | %% -->'''Haru:''' Skyyyy....TREEEEEEE! |
37 | %% * {{Keet}} |
38 | %% * FishOutOfWater: Heh... [[spoiler: literally]]. |
39 | * MindControlDevice: Uses an ordinary water gun. His species can communicate through water, but when they use their powers on Earthlings, it ends up as mind control. |
40 | %% * NewTransferStudent |
41 | %% * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace |
42 | %% * NoSocialSkills: A result of being a FishOutOfWater. |
43 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Haru is over one hundred years old, since he states once that he'd been looking for [[spoiler: Urara]] for a century. |
44 | * SiblingYinYang: Haru is much more eccentric, jovial, and energetic than his sister, Coco. |
45 | |
46 | |
47 | !! Natsuki Usami |
48 | ->Voiced by: Creator/KoukiUchiyama (Japanese), Corey Hartzog (English) |
49 | |
50 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/natsuki_9571.png]] |
51 | [[caption-width-right:250:''I'm only going to explain this once.'']] |
52 | |
53 | The "Fishing Prince" of Enoshima who has been a dedicated fisher since he was a child. He teaches Yuki and Haru to fish; a real test of his patience. Seems to have some issues with his well-meaning father. He is also in Yuki and Haru's class. |
54 | ---- |
55 | * AnimeHair: That wild hair could be mistaken for an afro. [[spoiler: Subverted when he's made to get a hair cut, but shown to have grown it back out in the epilogue.]] |
56 | %%* BigBrotherInstinct: To his ten-year-old sister, Sakura. |
57 | %%* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Fishing Prince]] |
58 | * EmbarrassingNickname: Do NOT call him a "Prince" in class. |
59 | %%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold |
60 | * MissingMom: She died two years before the start of the story and he is not happy about his father falling in love with another woman. |
61 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Occurs after [[spoiler: slapping Sakura and bringing her to tears]]. |
62 | %%* OnlySaneMan |
63 | %%* StoicSpectacles |
64 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Natsuki acts coldly towards strangers and people who get on his bad side--like his father and Akira--but gently towards those he cares for, like his sister, Yuki and Haru. His shift in tone from almost callously indifferent to very warm when speaking to Yuki over the course of the first four episodes really illustrates this aspect of him. |
65 | %%* {{Tsundere}} |
66 | |
67 | !! Akira Agarkar Yamada |
68 | ->Voiced by: Creator/TomokazuSugita (Japanese), Creator/JoshGrelle (English) |

71 | [[caption-width-right:250:''DUC-KU!'']] |
72 | |
73 | A mysterious half-Indian working for an even more mysterious organization known as "Duck." He is interested in Haru's motive for coming to Earth, and keeps a close eye on him. He is always with his co-worker, a duck named Tapioca, and can understand her speech. He later transfers into class with the others, despite being twenty-five years old. |
74 | ---- |
75 | * ButNotTooForeign: He's half-Indian and half-Japanese. |
76 | * TheComicallySerious: At one point he even seems to break down and be in physical pain from a joke the old priest made. |
77 | %% * [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: Not that he was ever ''evil''.]] |
78 | * IneffectualLoner: Natsuki thinks he is one of these for following them around. He later becomes a true member of the group. |
79 | %%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold |
80 | %%* LetsGetDangerous: ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Yo]][[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments ga]]...'' |
81 | * NewTransferStudent: And when he transfers, his age and refusal to leave his pet duck at home makes him even more of a spectacle than Yuki's awkwardness or Haru's coming to class with a fishing rod and introducing himself as an alien. |
82 | * NotSoStoic: He normally has a calm-disposition in the world strangeness and silliness around him. However, he does break his stoicism from time to time for laughs. |
83 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He's 25-years-old, being eight years older than Yuki, Haru, and Natsuki, but he doesn't look older than 17 when with them, just really tall. |
84 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Speaks fluent duck. |
85 | * TrademarkFavouriteFood: He is often seen eating a bowl of whitebait curry, courtesy of D.U.C.K. |
86 | * {{Tsundere}}: When it comes to denying that he wants friends. |

108 | |
109 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katey_907.png]] |
110 | |
111 | Yuki's grandmother. A French horticulturalist and a traveler, she is patient, motherly, and wise, and above all, very laid-back to contrast Yuki's tightly-wound mannerisms. Seems to be a good judge of character. |
112 | ---- |
113 | * CoolOldLady: Without a doubt. This woman let a self-proclaimed alien live in her house without losing her kind smile for a moment. |
114 | %%* EccentricMentor: The best kind of eccentric. |
115 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: [[spoiler:Subverted. She turns out fine.]] |
116 | %%* InnocentFlowerGirl |
117 | * LadyOfAdventure: A minor example. She doesn't go hunting for dragons, but she did like to move around a lot before probably settling down in Enoshima. |
118 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Kate or Keito? |
119 | * TeamMom: To Yuki and Haru at least. She gives a lot of good advice. |

124 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coko_5444.png]] |
125 | |
126 | Haru's sister. Still a CloudCuckoolander like the rest of her species, but much more serious and purpose-driven and less happy-go-lucky and touristy than her brother. Isn't sure Yuki is the man for the job. |
127 | ---- |
128 | %%* CloudCuckoolander |
129 | * {{Animorphism}}: She's sometimes a fish. [[spoiler: Much more often than Haru.]] |
130 | %%* HumanAliens |

138 | |
139 | That [[MemeticMutation angry guy in a pink shirt]] who usually hangs around in the bait shop. He owns a fishing boat that Yuki, Haru and Natsuki work on during summer vacation, and is actually ''not'' always angry or scary. In love with Misaki. |
140 | ---- |
141 | %%* BearHug: With Yuki, Haru and Natsuki |
142 | %%* BigBrotherMentor: To Yuki and co. |
143 | * BigYes: Walks out of the shop and starts hollering and hooraying outside with his back to the camera whenever Misaki compliments him. |
144 | * BoisterousBruiser: More of this than actually angry. Though he's not actually a big guy. |
145 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Thankfully averted.]] |
146 | %%* GenderBlenderName |
147 | * HenPeckedHusband: [[spoiler:Who knew sweet little Misaki had a mean side?]] |
