13
14	One of the game's viewpoint characters. Takeshi is a 20 year old college student who came to [=LeMU=] with his friends. After getting trapped in [=LeMU=] (by being locked in an elevator with Tsugumi), he becomes part of the group. He is somewhat [[IdiotHero foolish at times]], but is very headstrong and has many leadership qualities.
15
16	----
17
18	* AngerBornOfWorry: When Tsugumi starts running around when she ought to be immobilized, Takeshi gets upset and runs off to confront her. It’s not helped by the pair starting to fight more and more often.
19	* CharacterDevelopment: Takeshi starts off clueless and useless, but after a day or two he’s become the closest thing the group has to a leader. However, he actively resists changing too much because he’s satisfied with the views he holds now.
20	* ChickMagnet: Takeshi is so charming that he manages to seduce even a computer and an antisocial paranoid disaster. You also has a crush on him, though you only find out in the bad ends.
21	* {{Determinator}}: Particularly towards the end. Despite all the shit he's put through, no matter how badly his body is injured, he keeps going no matter what the risks.
22	* TheFaceless: [[spoiler:You never actually see what Takeshi looks like until the final route. The red-haired "Takeshi" that you see in the Kid's route is actually a different character, but the game hides this fact from you until the final route.]]
23	* HandBehindHead: On Kid's routes, Takeshi always has his hand behind his head, with the exception of a few [=CGs=].
24	* TheIdealist: Takeshi believes life is beautiful for its own sake, though when Tsugumi shows him the ugly side of it he’s temporarily shaken up.
25	* IdiotHero: Even he calls himself "The biggest idiot in the world" at one point.
26	* LivingForeverIsAwesome: Takeshi believes that life itself is wonderful even if it’s filled with suffering. After ditching some of his naivety, he simply keeps his old opinion while actually knowing about how bad life can be. Of course, he never has to worry about it himself [[spoiler:since the story ends before he has a chance to really come to terms with everything new in his life]] but it’s used as a contrast to Tsugumi, who only focuses on the negatives.
27	* LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler: Gets put through this when Hokuto talks to him. His reaction is to assume he's either gone nuts or is dreaming.]]
28	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: When Takeshi [[spoiler:begins bleeding heavily and gets lightheaded]] his reaction is to laugh and assume it’s nothing serious. Tsugumi, on the other hand, is obviously frantic.
29	* {{Nosebleed}}: Subverted in grim fashion. When Takeshi gets a nosebleed he tries to laugh and say that he honestly isn’t thinking of anything perverted [[spoiler:but of course it’s actually a sign that he too has caught Tief Blau.]]
30	* PostVictoryCollapse: [[spoiler:After rescuing Tsugumi and evacuating everyone, Takeshi immediately collapses without even the ability to keep his head from slamming into the floor.]]
31	* SmarterThanYouLook: As Tsugumi says herself at one point, while Takeshi is rash and doesn’t think things through most of the time, that doesn’t mean he’s as stupid as he looks.
32	* TheTease: After Tsugumi warms up to him, Takeshi likes flirting with her or acting like he’s flirting and then changing the subject. She’s not prepared for it, surprisingly or not, and gets quite flustered. Even more fun is acting like he’s flirting and then revealing he was talking about Chami the whole time.
33	* WorthLivingFor: Takeshi eventually convinces Tsugumi that life is worth living. [[spoiler:However, he "dies" soon after, leaving her even more bitter and isolated than before until she realizes she’s pregnant, at which point her children become what she’s willing to live for.]]
34	* WrongGenreSavvy: When Tsugumi asks Takeshi to close his eyes with a prettier look than normal, he’s clearly expecting something romantic. Instead, the blasts him in the face with acetone to get the ink off his face, which was annoying her.

37	[[folder:Komachi Tsugumi]]
38	!! Komachi Tsugumi
39	!!! Voiced by: Creator/YuuAsakawa
40	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/komachi_tsugumi_vndb.jpg]]
41
42	A mysterious 17 year old girl. Very antisocial, she dislikes talking to people and is often distrustful of them. Her personality is cold, often either ignoring others or speaking harshly to them.
43	----
44
45	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Tsugumi is tall with long, dark hair and is highly distanced from the rest of the cast. If nothing else, Takeshi is intrigued enough to follow her around a lot.
46	* BrokenBird: [[spoiler:Happens to her ''twice'']]
47	* CursedWithAwesome: Tsugumi considers herself cursed [[spoiler:because she’ll live forever unless killed and heals quickly from all injuries.]] At least she doesn’t complain about [[spoiler:the ability to see infrared light. She quite likes that ability, in fact.]]
48	* TheCynic: Tsugumi believes the world is an ugly place where people must sin daily just to meet the physical requirements of life. She doesn’t think that every human being is cruel or evil, but such things are irrelevant compared to the pain of life itself. [[spoiler:She gets angry when Takeshi is briefly influenced by her viewpoint because his has been influencing hers the entire time they’ve been together and she WANTS him to be right.]]
49	* DeathSeeker: Tsugumi claims that she pushed Coco out of the way of the falling crates not to save her but because she wants to die. It’s about half true. She’s genuinely concerned about Coco more than anyone else in the group but she does think life is ugly like she says. However, she also wants Takeshi to convince her otherwise.
50	* DefrostingIceQueen: Tsugumi. She does have a sense of humor, though, which mostly involves picking on Takeshi when she isn’t being tsuntsun around him. She first gets more abrasive with Takeshi and then begins the real defrosting process after he goes and rescues Chami. [[spoiler:She frosts back up after he apparently drowns, but then mellows out again when her twins are born. When the 2034 incident rolls back around she's harsher than ever, but that's because someone is reenacting an event that she's quite sensitive about.]]
51	* FirstGirlWins: She's the person in the lemur suit that appears with Coco biting the tail of the suit and later punches Takeshi.
52	* GiverOfLameNames: Tsugumi makes Takeshi promise not to laugh when she tells him the name of her hamster, but given that she named him Chami because he’s charming, he can’t resist. Mostly because it’s such a cute name from such a gloomy girl.
53	* HatesBeingTouched: Tsugumi gets quite harsh with Takeshi whenever he lays a hand on her. When she defrosts she drops the attitude.
54	* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:Tsugumi believes that pretty much no matter the level of physical trauma she takes, her body can probably heal it off. While her leg wound seems as though it could easily be fatal, she’s actually survived much worse before.]]
55	* IceQueen: She's very cold and aloof. The only people she treats halfway decently are Coco and Sara, who don't even appear in the same routes.
56	* IdealIllnessImmunity: [[spoiler:She can’t catch diseases, which means that when she got morning sickness she knew right away that something was definitely wrong. Curé carriers are more vulnerable than normal people to cancer, however, even though their bodies are rather cancerous already.]]
57	* ImColdSoCold: Due to blood loss and being submerged in slowly rising water Tsugumi’s greatest concern seems to be that she’s getting increasingly cold.
58	* TheImmune: [[spoiler:Tsugumi can’t catch illnesses anymore except in the sense that she gets infected and fights off the disease before even showing a single symptom, so You has her tested and she comes up positive for Curé. Her blood is then used to make a vaccine for Tief Blau, though in the end it also passes along Curé itself.]]
59	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: It’s probable that one reason Tsugumi tries not to get too close to anyone is because after being alone for so long, when she starts to trust Takeshi she needs far more from him than anyone could provide, though eventually she starts to restrain herself. Provided he reciprocates her feelings, at least, she can deal with it to some extent. In Sora’s route, though, he doesn’t and she takes it very poorly. After he’s gone, she briefly goes past the DespairEventHorizon until a new crutch for her appears with her twins.
60	* LonersAreFreaks: Normally, Tsugumi’s antisocial attitude would be something that Takeshi could ignore, but as he points out she’s potentially putting other lives at risk by being intentionally difficult in the middle of a crisis.
61	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: After being crushed below some crates and having her leg torn open, Tsugumi just laughs somewhat grimly, chides herself for messing up and scolds Takeshi like usual for asking a stupid question. Namely, “are you okay” when her leg is bleeding like crazy.
62	* MeaningfulName: Tsugumi’s name is written with the characters for moon and ocean. The ocean part is obvious, the moon motif comes up frequently in discussions during the Coco route. Further, [[spoiler:she's the origin of the Moon and Ocean lullaby that Sara and Coco both know, which is what makes Hokuto finally realize that there must have been two separate events.]]
63	** Reverse the characters and it turns into the word "jellyfish." Lemu has a jellyfish gondola ride [[spoiler:where her children were conceived]].
64	* MoralityPet
65	** Tsugumi doesn’t have it in her to be harsh to Coco. It has an interesting side effect at one point in the Coco route [[spoiler:where instead of fighting and angsting about the difficulties of life and getting into a fight with Takeshi, she knows she can’t say that kind of thing front of Coco. And perhaps because they didn’t fight here, they don't fight at any other point in the route either.]]
66	** While she might be at least nice to Coco, she genuinely dotes on her hamster.
67	* NotSoAboveItAll
68	** Tsugumi refuses to admit that the card game could be anything but Concentration. Coco and You know it by weird names.
69	** She also has a fairly childish refusal to react to the special sandwich Takeshi made for her, insisting that it tastes completely normal or even like pizza. This is after flinching when taking her first bite.
70	* ObfuscatingDisability: [[spoiler:After getting out of her infirmary bed when her right leg should be too injured to move, Tsugumi fakes a limp in front of Takeshi. She does an awful job, though, considering she accidentally makes her left leg drag instead of the right. Her right leg genuinely isn't fully recovered though, making it questionable why she limped with the wrong leg.]]
71	* OlderThanTheyLook: Tsugumi uses the idea to test how good Sora is at recognizing falsehoods without explicit information to back up her observations. While Sora instantly denies the possibility that Takeshi had a sex change or that Tsugumi is male, she admits it’s possible that Tsugumi is over twenty despite approximately high school age in appearance. [[spoiler:Tsugumi is actually twenty three or four.]]
72	* PerpetualFrowner: Takeshi doesn’t see Tsugumi smile once until almost the end of the story.
73	* ProperlyParanoid: Tsugumi displays a lot of paranoia, especially from the Kid’s perspective. In Takeshi’s routes, we learn [[spoiler:that Lieblich captures people and performs experiments on them]] and in the Coco route we learn that [[spoiler:she was so hostile in the Kid’s routes because she was the only one who knew that the entire disaster was just a repeat of a previous tragedy but wasn’t in on the plan.]]
74	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: When trying to keep Takeshi from getting closer to her Tsugumi starts over enunciating between every word.
75	* SecondLove: For Takeshi, except in Sora's route. He had a girlfriend before, but we don't know much about her.
76	* SingleTargetSexuality: Had only ever been in love with Takeshi. [[spoiler: Which is why when she finds out she's pregnant she knows it's his kids, because she never had sex with anyone else.]]
77	* StrawNihilist: She generally keeps herself under control, but at one point she gives a long bitter speech about how life itself is a sin because all living things kill each other. It might be intentionally straw though [[spoiler:since she wants Takeshi to prove to her that she's wrong rather than actually convince him.]]
78	* SugarAndIcePersonality
79	* SuperStrength: Tsugumi has enhanced physical abilities, though to what extent is unclear. She’s capable of lifting Takeshi and dragging him at a full sprint, however, with no signs of strain or exhaustion. She can also easily pin him.
80	* TakingTheBullet: Tsugumi knocks Coco out of the way of some falling crates and gets her leg gashed open as a result. The room then starts flooding and she nearly bleeds to death before Takeshi can get her to the infirmary.
81	* {{Tsundere}}
82	** Tsugumi has nothing but hostility for Takeshi even though she was probably attracted to him the entire time the story was going on. Apart from finding it difficult to trust others, she also has some secrets to hide and a rather wicked sense of humor. She does seem to trust him more than she realizes, though. And despite picking on him, she shows enough concern to [[spoiler:keep him from touching the steam heated metal door even when she doesn’t have a good excuse prepared for why she even knows it’s hot.]] She gets few deredere moments even after defrosting, but she’s obviously really happy in Coco’s route when Takeshi says that she has a pretty name.
83	** When the power goes out and she and Takeshi need to go down a floor, she damages the elevator so that it'll flood and cause the whole capsule to sink. It's strongly implied that she was trying to show off for the cute boy she just met and panicked when it turns out to be more of a big deal than she expected. Notably, she gets relationship points despite her cold reaction if Takeshi plays along with her.
84	* WhenSheSmiles: When seeing Tsugumi playing with Chami, Takeshi realizes that she’s smiling for the first time since they’ve met. She even looks bright and shining.

87	[[folder:Akanegasaki Sora]]
88	!!Akanegasaki Sora
89	!!!Voiced by: Creator/HirokoKasahara
90	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akanegasaki_sora_vndb.jpg]]
91
92	A 24 year old woman who seems to work at [=LeMU=], Sora is actually a holographic AI programmed to act as a guide to [=LeMU=]. She is calm and collected at all times, and is very helpful in explaining the inner workings of the park.
93
94	----
95
96	* BrainUploading: [[spoiler:How she escapes [=LeMU=] in 2017.]]
97	* ConflictingLoyalties: Sora cares about the group a great deal, but she’s also programmed to be loyal to [=LeMu’s=] interests. Her security blocks place a higher priority on security than on guest welfare, which she struggles with in several routes. In Takeshi’s routes, [[spoiler:a Tief Blau outbreak]] places more priority onto guest welfare and allows divulging of classified information. In You’s route, her priority levels are rewritten with her consent so that the positions of security and guest welfare are switched, allowing her to help You and the other guests if she considers it necessary. Which she does, of course.
98	* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Sora is only programmed to be a guide and a low level computer system, but as the story goes on she grows increasingly emotional and curious. For better or worse. In the True Ending [[spoiler:she even remembers things that were not stored in her data banks.]] Earlier, Tsugumi was impressed that in a way she already had: Sora is perfectly capable of detecting lies even with no prior experience, which is beyond what Sora says her own abilities entail.
99	* LiteralSplitPersonality: In You's route, she agrees to try to stand back and allow Sara to try hacking into Lieblich by emphasizing the part of her programming that cares for guest welfare. However, a type 34 error occurs because attention to security is programmed to be a higher level of priority for her, which is manifested by two Sora holograms briefly wrestling.
100	* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Not being equipped to handle love or jealousy, Sora’s programming runs wild when she falls for Takeshi in her route.
101	* NervesOfSteel: Sora always remains calm and focused during normal crisis situations, something Takeshi is very thankful for. [[spoiler:Perhaps more impressive given that she knows she has no real way of escaping. Oh, she has backups, but those aren’t really her.]]
102	* NoSenseOfHumor: Sora can feel pleasure and even laugh when happy, but she doesn’t really get jokes or even the basis behind them. It’s not quite that jokes just seem mean to her but rather that she doesn’t get the contradiction where people laugh at misfortune with no ill will intended.
103	* PairTheSpares: She is paired with Kaburaki in the [[AudioAdaptation Drama CDs]].
104	* RobotGirl: [[spoiler: She gains an android body sometime before 2034.]]
105	* SecondLove: For Takeshi in her own route. One conversation reveals that he had a gilfriend before [=LeMU=] incident.
106	* ShrinkingViolet: Sora in the True ending epilogue is very easily flustered [[spoiler:by Takeshi, though he’s together with Tsugumi.]]
107	* SweatDrop: Too polite to tell Coco she needs to do her job, Sora instead sprouts a giant sweat drop. Maybe her little digital avatar even did it for real.
108	* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: With Takeshi, in her ending.]]
109	* ThatCameOutWrong: When Sora seems to be behind you, her voice will sound as though it’s behind you. If she’s to your right or left, her voice sounds like it comes from there instead. When she’s under you…
110	* ThreeLawsCompliant: Done subtly. She's adamant about protecting Leblich, but when Coco's life is in danger she ignores the orders from Leiblich in order to try and save her life. It's also a plot point that her programmed priorities needed to be reordered so that she can be more helpful.
111	* ValleyGirl: Played for laughs in her route: when Takeshi is trying to teach her how to act more "human", he teaches her to talk this way. However, when it ends up making Coco cry, they agree she should just talk like she normally does.
112	* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Being an AI she has trouble understanding love.
113	* YamatoNadeshiko: Wears qipao instead of kimono but otherwise fits to a T, being polite and gentle, while at the same time very protective about people under her care, especially Takeshi. Takeshi even thinks she's typical Japanese woman.
114	* {{Yandere}}: Has a brief streak of this in her route [[spoiler: after seeing Takeshi and Tsugumi having sex.]]
115	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Sora is designed to seem twenty four, but she actually wasn’t created until about half a dozen years ago. [[spoiler:Though by 2034 she’s the age she appears.]]

121
122	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tanaka_you_haru_vndb.jpg]]
123
124	A 18 year old employee at [=LeMU=], You is a very energetic girl who often acts as the mood maker of the group, trying to keep everyone's spirits up. Her full name is actually Yuubiseiharukana (due to her father wanting to give her a unique name to contrast with her common last name), but she shortens it to You. Is a good friend of Sara's, who calls her "Nakkyu".
125	----
126
127	* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:While Blick Winkel was the one who gave her the rough outline of ThePlan, ''she'' is the one who put things into motion and set up the second incident.]]
128	* BrokenBird: [[spoiler:She is considerably much more serious in 2034 as a result of the events of the last 17 years.]]
129	* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:She raised her daughter/clone You'aki' while pretending she was Yukie, the mother of You'haru'.]]
130	* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: [[spoiler:She develops the Third Eye plan. Which she heard from BW in 2017, [[TemporalParadox who himself heard it from her in 2034...]]]]
131	* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:To Takeshi, in one of the {{Bad End}}s.]]
132	* HopelessSuitor: In Takeshi’s routes, You hints at having a crush on him a few times as well as getting a little jealous at the difference in treatment between her and Tsugumi or Sora. Nothing comes of it. Not even a real blip on the radar.
133	* InSeriesNickname: Sara and Coco call her "Nakkyu".
134	* MsExposition: In the last act of the game, and in the [[AudioAdaptation Drama CDs]].
135	* ParentalSubstitute: You never knew her father, but she did meet a man at the hospital who helped fill the void she felt by not having two parents. [[spoiler:He offered to clone her so she could feel that she would live on after her heart failed. Cure fixed her heart, though, and her mother died soon after, so she raised her clone as her daughter under her mother’s name.]]
136	* SesquipedalianSmith: Her first name is seven syllabes long.
137	* SoapOperaDisease: Her heart condition. [[spoiler:Is eventually cured by the Cure Virus.]]
138	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her nickname is spelled You instead of Yu, even in the original Japanese CG. This can cause confusion in the English translation, which incited the Himmel patch to let you change between You and Yu.
139	* SupernaturallyYoungParent: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Cure, physically she's barely 5 years older than her daughter.]]
140	* TeenPregnancy: [[spoiler:[[InvokedTrope By choice]]. She was pregnant with her own clone and chose to do so because of her heart condition. She gave birth when she was fifteen.]]
141	* TheMole: [[spoiler:To Leiblich Pharmaceuticals, considering she is the one who leaks the truth about Tief Blau out.]]

149	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/matsunaga_sara_vndb.jpg]]
150
151	A 16 year old girl who was on a field trip to [=LeMU=], Sara is also an energetic girl. She is very intelligent for her age, already being an accomplished hacker, but she has an obsession with ninjas. She is You's friend and old schoolmate, having gone to the same high school. For some reason, she only appears in the Kid's routes.
152
153	----
154
155	* AffectionateNickname: You calls her Mayo. She returns the favor by calling her Nakkyu.
156	* TheCutie: [[DitzyGenius Silly]], [[GenkiGirl energetic]] and absolutely adorable.
157	* DitzyGenius: Sara is perhaps the silliest character, saying the silliest things (both how she says them and what she says, though a lot of it is lost in the English translation), but she is a genius, especially when it comes to computers. [[spoiler:Judging by the flashbacks, her silly personality seems to be due to associating with You.]]
158	* GenkiGirl: Always cheerful and full of energy.
159	* GratuitousNinja: Being ninja fangirl she claims to actually BE a ninja and tends to insert ninjastic comments whehter they make sense or not.
160	* LongLostSibling: [[spoiler: To Kid]].
161	* SuperIntelligence: [[spoiler: As a result of being a Curé-hybrid human.]]
162	* ShipperOnDeck: For Kid/You in You's route. Succesfully.
163	* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:After being separated from her brother and controlled by Leiblich her whole life she hides huge ammounts of pain behind her cheerful demeanor. Being trapped in [=LeMU=] outside of anyone's control is the first time she's actually happy, although Kid gets a few glimpses of hidden sadness when Sara thinks she's alone.]]
164	* TheTease: Towards Kid in her own route. [[spoiler: Until they find out they're siblings that is.]]

171	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yagami_coco_vndb.jpg]]
172
173	A 14 year old girl who was visiting [=LeMU=], Coco is a very childish but upbeat girl who is always smiling despite the dangers. She is accompanied by her robot dog Pipi. For some reason, she only appears in Takeshi's routes.
174	----
175
176	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: How many times have you been here? One, two, three, four, five… Never! [[spoiler:Well, she’s been there at least once, but that's a secret, so she's ''not'' just being silly.]]
177	* MagicSkirt: Tackling a stuffed dolphin and almost completely upside down, her skirt still looks like she’s standing normally.
178	* OlderThanTheyLook: Coco is fourteen, looks ten and acts about six, which worries Takeshi slightly.
179	* PsychicPowers: [[spoiler:Coco says at first that she can see the future, but when she explains it in detail the truth is more that she sees the world through the perspective of other people, including reading their minds to know what they think as they watch the world. Since Blick Winkel is an entity, Coco can watch through his eyes as well. Since he isn’t bound by time, she can see the future, past or other locations through his perspective. Also, she can bend spoons.]]
180	* RoseHairedSweetie: Coco is very energetic and affectionate.
181	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name should be written Koko, but it's romanized Coco. The Himmel patch allows you to change between these two readings.

200	The Kid from the 2017 incident, and the impersonator of Takeshi in the 2034 incident. During the 2017 incident, a brief possession by Blick Winkel causes him to lose his memory. After escaping [=LeMU=], he joins You'haru in the "Third Eye Project", a plan to save Takeshi and Coco.
201
202	----
203
204	* BrokenBird: Is much more cynical as an adult due to the events of the last 17 years.
205	* DeadPersonImpersonation: He impersonates Takeshi, although the "dead" part is subverted later.
206	* {{Determinator}}: In 2034, where he keeps struggling to save Sora despite the fact that he is increasingly endangering his own existence in the process.
207	* DidNotGetTheGirl: Unfortunately for him, his first choice has become very awkward by the ending.
208	* HeavySleeper: Snores and talks in his sleep, and doesn't awaken even when You, Sara, and The Kid draw on his face.
209	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: In an odd twist, he never regains his memories except the knowledge of his real name.
210	* LoveAtFirstSight: The Kid fell for Coco at first sight. Kaburaki, that is. Hokuto doesn’t really interact with her even though he thinks he does. He has no particular attachment to her so long as he knows she’s not in danger.
211	* TheMole: During the 2034 incident.
212	* OlderThanTheyLook: He is actually around 32 years old, but looks like he's in his early 20s.
213	* OverlyLongName: Coco tries naming him [[Creator/PabloPicasso Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Hora Juan Novecino Maria de los Remedios Siburiano Critiano de la Santeshima Trinidado Luis Picasso]]. Rejected for being longer than Yubiseiharukana. Plus, she spelled his name wrong.
214	* PairTheSpares: He is paired with Sora in the [[AudioAdaptation Drama CDs]].
215	* WalkingSpoiler: His existence as a separate character to both POV characters (Hokuto-Kid and Takeshi) spoils the fact that the two routes are not depicting the same event.

223
224	The Kid from the 2034 incident, and the game's other viewpoint character. He is the twin brother of Sara, the son of Takeshi and Tsugumi, and a Curé-Human hybrid. As a part You'haru's plans to save Takeshi and Coco, he is possessed by Blick Winkel (losing his memories in the process) and plays the role of the Kid in the 2034 recreation of the 2017 incident.

226	----
227
228	* BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective towards Sara, although it takes him a while to realise that it's his brotherly feelings resurfacing.
229	* {{Determinator}}: Doesn't give up no matter what. Especially visible when he keeps resuscitating Sara, even though everyone else thinks she's already dead, and actually manages to save her.
230	* TheFaceless: His actual face is hidden until TheReveal in the final route. Before then, the player is misdirected into thinking that he is Ryogo and has Ryogo's brown-blond face.
231	* HalfHumanHybrid: Technically. He is Curé-Human.
232	* ISeeDeadPeople: Kind of - he can see Coco, but only due to her own ability.
233	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: He mysteriously lost his memories in [=LeMU=].
234	* MyGreatestFailure: Not being able to find Sara after Leiblich Pharmaceutical seperates them. When he realises Sara is his sister, he's unable to face her because of this.
235	* OfficialCouple: With You'aki.
236	* SuperNotDrowningSkills: He survives skin-diving 300 feet into the ocean. He also manages to swim up 100 feet in Sara's Route ''with a broken arm'' and still makes it up alive.
237	* SuperStrength: Hokuto has at least enough strength to lift a rock weighing about as much as Coco, sprint towards a fence and leap over it without effort. He can also hold his breath long enough to descend 119 meters then swim across the ocean floor.
238	* TomatoInTheMirror: In the final route, the revelation of the game's central twist(s) begins when the Kid, with supernatural memories from previous routes, looks in a mirror and sees his own golden-blond face—a face completely different from the brown-blond Kid that appeared in Takeshi's [=PoV=]. Since he (and Blick Winkel) only remembers how "he" appeared from Takeshi's [=PoV=], he is utterly confused by his actual appearance.
239	* WalkingSpoiler: His existence in the story spoils the fact that the NPC-Kid that Takeshi sees in his route is not the [[PlayerCharacter PC]]-Kid that the player plays as in the Kid's route. This in turn spoils the fact that Takeshi's route and the Kid's route are depicting completely different events.

247
248	The Tanaka You from the 2034 incident. She is the daughter/clone of Yubiseiharukana, and was raised to be completely identical to her. Like You'haru, she became an employee at [=LeMU=] to investigate her father's disappearance.
249	----
250
251	* CallingTheOldManOut: She is not happy to know that she was being deceived for several years.

255	[[folder:Blick Winkel]]
256	!! Blick Winkel
257	!!! Voiced by: Creator/SoichiroHoshi ([[AudioAdaptation Drama CD]] only)
258	The Third Eye, a.k.a. the reader of ''VisualNovel/Ever17'', that is, the player. Blick Winkel is a 4th dimensional being who exists outside of time, being able to travel to any point in time without problem. Blick Winkel observes the events of the 2017 incident (through Takeshi's eyes) and the 2034 incident (through Hokuto's eyes) almost simultaneously, to the point that he believes that the two are the same incident.
259	----
260
261	* AGodIsYou: The reader of the story is an omnipotent god being that can travel across time in the literal blink of an eye.
262	* AllPowerfulBystander: Blick Winkel can time travel freely, but until the course of events wake him up he can’t even be called an entity. He’s just an observer who watches events the same way someone would look at a bunch of meaningless scribbles. When awakened, he still doesn’t have enough will to act on his own, requiring Hokuto’s help to accomplish anything.
263	* BigGood: The mastermind behind the "Third Eye" project responsible for the plan to save Coco and Takeshi. Weirdly enough, he comes up with a plan that he eventually becomes a sort of "victim" to, though it all works out in the end.
264	* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: Does this to ''himself''.
265	* IdiotBall: Doing things such as making Hokuto skindive all the way to IBF when there's a perfectly suitable submarine at hand qualifies him for this.
266	* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: He loses his identity when possessing Hokuto, instead believing he ''is'' Hokuto.
267	* PlayerCharacter: The real one, that is. Takeshi and Hokuto are {{Decoy Protagonist}}s.
268	* TimeTravel: Sort of. He exists outside of time so he can see any point of time freely moving between them.
