Main Characters

Amata Sora

Voiced by: Yūki Kaji (Japanese), Christopher Bevins (English)

A boy with the power of levitation amplified by intense emotions. Once shunned as a child due to his powers, he has since started wearing boots inlaid with pockets with which he can place weights so as to keep him aground every time. A chance encounter with Mikono, however, ultimately forces him to start embracing his powers.

In the series, he is the main pilot of Aquarion EVOL. In Aquarion Love, he takes over as Aquarion Gepard's pilot after Zessica is defeated by Apollo.

---

• All of the Other Reindeer: Suffered a moderate one as a child when his levitation powers went off in the middle of a group of kids, hence the reason he wears pocketed boots with which he can place weights.
• Always Save the Girl: Protecting Mikono is always his top priority in his mind no matter the circumstance.
• Animals Hate Him: At least Shu-Shu does.
• Battle Strip: In Episode 8, he tears off his Vector suit to increase his sensitivity to Jin's missiles and thus learn how to evade them more efficiently.
• Betty and Veronica: The mild and insecure Betty to Kagura's dangerous and possessive Veronica. In the end, Mikono chooses Amata.
• Birds of a Feather: From the first episode, he quickly bond with Mikono because both are reserved people who suffer from low self-esteem.
• Butt-Monkey: He got threatened by Cayenne with a beatdown twice, getting his ass sniped by Donar for floating around too much, and getting teased a lot by Zessica? The poor boy's got a tough life ahead. And that's not to mention frequent misunderstandings with Mikono.
• Chick Magnet: Many a female classmate squeed at the sight of him baring his chest by tearing off his Vector suit in Episode 8.
• Classical Anti-Hero: Amata is a good and nice boy, but he's also plagued by insecurities and lack of confidence because of his Element making him look like a freak in the past and his mother abandoning him.
• Contrasting Sequel Main Character: While Apollo was a brash and impulsive Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Amata is a calm and withdrawn Nice Guy.
• Cowardly Lion: He's rather timid and shy compared to the other male characters, but when push comes to shove, he can be just as Hot-Blooded as them.
• Cursed with Awesome: He hates his Element power, since it's not always controllable and has led to him being ostracized in the past.
• Declaration of Protection: He tells Mikono he will protect her.
• Dogged Nice Guy: Towards Mikono.
• The Dulcinea Effect: After he has known Mikono for about an hour, he's ready to risk his life to protect her. Probably justified, since she is the reincarnation of his lover.
• Emotional Powers: His Element is connected to his emotions. Most notably, he floats whenever he's flustered or nervous, usually over Mikono.
• Endearingly Dorky: He's clumsy and his uncontrolled levitation when he's excited doesn't help, yet Mikono and Zessica often find it attractive.
• Everyone Can See It: There isn't a person in all of Neo-DEAVA who can't see that he's completely smitten with Mikono.
• Flight: His Element power is the ability to fly when his heart beats quickly. It manifests as a pair of wings sprouting from his ankles.
• Hero Protagonist: He's the protagonist and the main hero of the anime.
• Heroic Bystander: Initially, he was just that guy working in a movie theatre before he gets thrown into the cockpit and saves everyone.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Initially. After joining Neo DEAVA he starts accepting his powers, knowing there are other teens like him.
• Instant Expert: After one small lesson from Zessica, he pilots Aquarion rather well for the first time in his life.
• Love at First Sight: He falls for Mikono right away. Possibly justified since they were lovers in their past life.
• Luminescent Blush: His cheeks frequently turn pink whenever he and Mikono are having a moment.
• Mark of the Supernatural: His violet eyes hint at his levitation powers and the fact that he's Apollo's reincarnation.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Amata Sora sounds close to the sun goddess Amaterasu, which references his being a possible reincarnation of Apollonius the Solar Wing. He's actually a reincarnation of the winged dog Pollon, and though it may remind some people of Amaterasu being a wolf in Ōkami, the game is intentionally Sadly Mythtaken and the depiction is based on a pun.
  • "Amata" is Esperanto for "beloved," derived from "amada" of Romance languages like Portuguese and Spanish.
  • "Sora" is the Japanese word for "sky," fitting his power of flight.
• Nice Guy: He's a very polite and friendly guy.
• Oblivious to Love: It takes him a while to realize Zessica's interest in him isn't mere teasing anymore.
• Power Gives You Wings: Using his Anti-Gravity powers grows wings on his back or ankles.
• Power Incontinence: He loses control of his levitation powers when he feels intense emotions. He wears boots inlaid with pockets with which he can place weights so as to keep him aground every time.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Andy's red. Also the blue to Kagura's red.
• Reincarnation: Of Winged Hound Pollon/Apollo.
• Reincarnation Romance: Mikono is the reincarnation of his past life's lover Silvia. However, what sets him apart from Kagura is that Amata does not love a memory or a past life, but the Mikono in front of him now.
• Running Gag: Take a shot every time his power activates.
• Screw Destiny: Does not believe that Kagura and Mikono are destined for each other because they are the reincarnations of Apollon and Sylvie, and that Mikono won't choose him because of this fact. It turns out that he's actually right: Kagura is his Enemy Without, created by Mykage when he abducted Alicia.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The sensitive guy to Andy's manly man.
• Single-Target Sexuality: While he's not necessarily oblivious to the attractiveness of the other girls, it's clear throughout the series that the only person he actually wants to get together with is Mikono.
• Shot in the Ass: Courtesy of Donar. Poor boy.
• Tarot Motifs: Is associated with the Jack of Clubs.
• This Loser Is You: Initially. As of Episode 8, he has graduated into one of Neo DEAVA's Chick Magnets.
• Twice Shy: With Mikono. They would have probably hooked up right in the first episode if only they stopped being so bashful around each other and talked about how they feel.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: With Mikono. They feel attracted to each other from their first meeting, but both suck at communicating their feelings. Several misunderstanding and conflicts with love rivals keep them from getting together until the series is over.

Mikono Suzushiro

Voiced by: Ai Kayano (Japanese), Brina Palencia (English)

A girl hailing from a well-respected family of Element Users who is apparently born without any powers, causing her to become a withdrawn, shy girl who has to rely on her older brother Cayenne. After being saved by Amata, she ends up joining him at Neo DEAVA, whose higher-ups speculate that she may have the power to amplify the Aquarion. She also has a pet rabbit named Shu-Shu, who can hide in her hair like an accessory.

---

• All Girls Want Bad Boys: She's attracted to Kagura, which seems to confuse even her as to why this would be the case. She's actually drawn to the other half of her past life lover Apollo's soul.
• Always Someone Better: How she feels about her brother Cayenne, who according to her, has everything.
• Beautiful Tears: When she first meets Amata, he sees her crying after watching the movie "Skies of Aquaria" and he blushes at how cute she is.
• Betty and Veronica: She's the well-mannered and demure Betty to Zessica's flirtatious and provocatively dressed Veronica. Mikono is the one who gets Amata.
• Big Brother Worship: She always clung on to her older brother Cayenne when they were younger, but these feelings have grown distant when he went off to join Neo DEAVA, seemingly leaving her behind.
• Birds of a Feather: With Amata. From the first episode, they hit it off because they have similar shy personalities and as Mikono herself says, both think they're a "good-for-nothing pair."
• Classical Anti-Hero: Similar to Amata, Mikono is a good girl, but her past as an apparent Muggle Born of Mages has made her insecure, cowardly, and a crybaby who is a bit too dependant on Amata and Cayenne, as she thinks she's completely useless. In the second episode, she tries to persuade Amata into running away even though they were in the midst of a battle with lives on the line. Luckily, after she joins Neo DEAVA, she starts to gain more confidence in herself.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Not exactly clingy per se, but she usually gives Amata the cold shoulder whenever another girl makes him float.
  Amata, you'll fly for anyone, won't you?
• Damsel in Distress: She often gets in trouble, like getting captured by Kagura, and needs Amata to go rescue her.
• Everyone Can See It: Her classmates can easily see that she and Amata are attracted to each other.
• First Girl Wins: She meets Amata at the start of the first episode and from that moment, it's obvious they're going to be a couple by the end of the anime.
• Freudian Excuse: Her low self-esteem and cowardice stems from her father.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: It's very subtle unlike most examples, but she's quick to get angry.
• The Heart: She serves mostly as the emotional bond that keeps the Element Users, highly disparate personalities and all, together.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Turns out her own power is to amplify emotional connections between the Elements. As the Aquarion draws its energy from bonds, she can indirectly increase its power, making her a valuable asset to Neo DEAVA.
• He Is Not My Boyfriend: She insists Amata isn't her partner and often denies her feelings for Amata when anyone asks or implies it. No one is convinced.
• Hidden Buxom: Her normal attire makes her look modestly endowed at best, but the merging sequences show that her chest is actually around the same size as Zessica's. That being said, the merging scenes in Sousei no Aquarion Love actually make her look smaller than her outfit implies.
• Hikikomori: It's said that Mikono didn't go outside much before she met Amata, mostly out of fear of abduction and issues concerning her apparent lack of powers in contrast to the rest of her family. By the time of the series proper, she's decided to reinvent herself and is actively denying her social fears.
• In-Series Nickname: Kagura calls her his "wench" or his "smelly wench." From Episode 11 onward, this changes to "Sylvie."
• Informed Attribute: The Suzushiro family is said to be distinguished and her relatives are famous element-users yet none of her element-user classmates acknowledge that fact. The only thing she's been acknowledged for is being the younger sister of Cayenne.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover: She keeps a little pet named Shu-Shu that she says is a cat and she's gentle with it. Despite her frequent outbursts and stubbornness, Mikono is a good girl.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The soft-spoken, polite Light Feminine to Zessica's shameless, flirty Dark Feminine.
• Lonely Rich Kid: Because of her sheltered upbringing and low self-esteem for not showing to have a powerful Element like the rest of her family, Mikono grew up very isolated and never ventured outside her house or really interacted with other people until she met Amata.
• Magic Enhancement: Neo DEAVA's higher-ups speculate that her true power may be enhancing the Aquarion's combat abilities. Episode 9 reveals that she does so in an indirect way through amplifying her teammates' emotional bonds.
• Magic Skirt: You'll never catch a glimpse of her panties no matter what position and angle she's in despite the ridiculously short skirt she wears all the time.
• Muggle Born of Mages: She comes from a family of Element Users, but apparently was born without any powers. This turns out not to be the case; it's just that her Element power is rather subtle, and its effects aren't particularly noticeable as being the result of a supernatural ability.
• Naïve Newcomer: Unlike Amata who instantly knows what to do when piloting Aquarion, it takes her a few tries before she's actually comfortable with it.
• Nice Girl: Low self-esteem and quick-temper aside, Mikono is, at a core, a kind and polite young lady who looks out for her friends.
• Ojou: She hails from the well-respected Suzushiro family.
• Prim and Proper Bun: She keeps her hair tied back in a bun, with her pet "cat" hiding there most of the time. This fits her image of a ladylike Ojou.
• Prone to Tears: She almost instantly starts crying when she's upset about something, which is often.
• Protectorate: Both Amata and Cayenne want to protect Mikono above anything.
• Reincarnation: Of Celiane/Silvia.
• Reincarnation Romance: Silvia's soul reincarnated into Mikono to be together with her lost lover Apollo's reincarnation, Amata. Mikono also felt attracted to Kagura because he, as Amata's Enemy Without, also has part of Apollo's soul.
• Shrinking Violet: Being powerless amidst a family of Element Users has made Mikono shy and insecure. Amata is the only person she can easily open up to because he's the reincarnation of her lover Apollo.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Mikono has feelings for Amata because of his kindness and desire to protect her.
• Stranger in a Strange School: She always feels out-of-place in Neo DEAVA because being around so many Element Users feeds into her insecurities over her own lack of an Element, whereas Amata can at least fit in with his equally psychic classmates.
• Successful Sibling Syndrome: Her older brother Cayenne possesses a powerful Element of precognition and is the most popular guy at the Neo DEAVA academy. Since she never even showed signs of having an Element while growing up, Mikono feels small next to Cayenne to the point she gets upset when her classmates simply bring her brother up.
• Sympathy for the Devil: For Kagura. She compares him to a stray dog and believes that he's just really lonely. These feelings are replaced with fear as he continues to grow more and more Yandere for her. But after Kagura kidnaps her in Episode 15, and she figures out that he actually means the opposite of what he says, she regains her sympathy for him.
• Talking in Your Sleep: While unconscious in Episode 6, she mumbles about apologizing to Kagura; when she comes to her senses, she claims she can't remember and doesn't know why.
• Tarot Motifs: She's associated with the Ace of Hearts.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: When she first arrives at Neo DEAVA, she comes off as rather antisocial and withdrawn out of envy of other girls, all of which are Element Users. This changes after reuniting with Amata where she becomes more cheerful and approachable to her classmates. When she finally discovers her powers, she fully breaks out of her shell.
• Tsundere: Sweet type. She is an all-around Nice Girl to everyone, but her tsun-tsun could manifest whenever Amata started floating around in the presence of another girl (mostly courtesy of Zessica).
• Twice Shy: Mikono and Amata clearly are attracted to each other, but neither one is brave enough to make the first move so they don't get together until the final episode.
• The Un-Favourite: In episode 18, Mikono receives a letter from her father. As she reads the letter, she figures out that it wasn't for her; it was for her brother. And the letter makes clear her father's only concern is that Mikono isn't being too much of a burden to her brother.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: With Amata. They feel attracted to each other from their first meeting, but both suck at communicating their feelings. Several misunderstanding and conflicts with love rivals keep them from getting together until the series is over.
• Uptown Girl: An Ojou who has feelings for the Unlucky Everydude Amata.

Kagura Demuri

Voiced by: Kōki Uchiyama (Japanese), Taliesin Jaffe (English)

One of Izumo's two main subordinates and a hot-blooded warrior who loves charging into battle headlong with Mithra Gnis, a machine suited for melee combat and Kagura's tendency to move around like a quadrupedal beast. He gains the ability of "Reversal".

Late in the series he pilots the original Solar Aquarion, still golden as when it was last seen. In Aquarion Love, he is the sole pilot of Aquarion EVOL.

---

• Animorphism: He can change to a black wolf from time to time. On episode 11, after Mykage awakes his (fake) Genetic Memory, it gains red eyes and matching fur.
• Attack! Attack! Attack!: He never retreats from battle until he wins, even when it's clear that he's on disadvantage. Most of the times he gets whisked away by Mykage at the last moment.
• Attack Reflector: Has gained the power to reverse, which allowed him to reflect Amata's Mugen Punch.
• Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: It seems he says and hears the reverse of things in regards to Mikono, as the more he craves for her, the more he insults and threatens her, much to her horror, until she learns the true meaning behind his seemingly harsh words.
• Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Mykage abused him mentally, physically, and emotionally way back since childhood from the moment Mykage split him from his other half Amata. Made worse by the fact that he finds it pretty normal, or at least is used to his torturing. One can only imagine how much Mykage has screwed him up. Confirmed by Word of God, even after he unwillingly killed his father Izumo, he still didn't grieved over it. Yamamoto said that being raised by Mykage made Kagura a twisted person.
• Betty and Veronica: The dangerous and possessive Veronica to Amata's mild and insecure Betty. Kagura is a Yandere who is obsessed with Mikono because he can smell she's his "Sylvie" and tries to take her from Amata by force several times. Mikono is scared of Kagura's violent nature, but also can't help to find him attractive in a Troubled, but Cute way. However, in the end, Kagura loses to Amata and takes it better than expected.
• Blood Knight: He'll do anything to stay in battle, even disobey orders.
  Altair soldier: Please return, Master Kagura. This battle is meaningless.
  Kagura: The only one who decides if it has meaning or not is me!
• Blow You Away: His Mithra Gnis can create a tornado around its battle-axe, although he's only shown doing so twice.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Episode 24 shows that Mykage can influence his actions, hence why he suddenly deals the killing blow to Izumo instead of sitting around in confusion.
• Combat Pragmatist: Episode 2 has him stealing a leg from another Gnis to replace the one that Mithra lost.
• Convenient Coma: Mykage can do this to him by humming Sousei no Aquarion.
• Determinator: Say what you want about the guy, but he is pretty determined when it comes to getting his "wench".
• Easily Forgiven: Despite causing Neo-DEAVA an untold amount of trouble throughout the series, Kagura appears to have more-or-less been accepted as one of their members in the epilogue. Granted, Sousei no Aquarion Love implies that the others aren't particularly fond of him.
• Enemy Without: He's Amata's "dark side" that was extracted by Mykage at the time Alicia left her son behind.
• Enslaved Tongue: He ends up insulting and threatening Mikono when he becomes nervous around her, due to his superpower of Reversal making him talk in reverse.
• Entitled to Have You:
  • He fully believes that he and Mikono are meant to be with each other, no matter what he does. This thought process is reinforced by Mykage, who manipulated Kagura into thinking that destiny was on his side.
  • It's to the point where he looks completely bewildered the one time he notices her pushing him away, as if the thought of her not reciprocating his advances legitimately never crossed his mind.
• Evil Counterpart: To Amata. They look somewhat similar and both want Mikono, but in contrast to the heroic Amata who respects Mikono, Kagura is a villain and tries to force his feelings on Mikono. Near the end, it's revealed Kagura was actually a part of Amata originally until they separated when their mother left them.
• Evil Redhead: He has red hair and is one of the main villains of the series.
• Expy Coexistence: He bears a strong resemblance to Apollo from the previous series, down to their heightened sense of smell. This is because he's one of Apollo's reincarnations.
• Fake Memories: As revealed in Episode 18, Kagura's "memories" of his past life with "Sylvie" as "Apollon" were implanted by Mykage, based on the "Skies of Aquaria".
• Fangs Are Evil: He's got noticeable fangs, which add to his wolf motif, and he's a ruthless antagonist.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: He wears a split top made of two totally different styles of shirt. The right half of his shirt is black with the sleeve extending to the palm of his hand, while the left side is dark grey, the sleeve covers up to his elbow and a white fur trim extends from the front part to his backside. He also wears a black shoulder pad on his right arm that is underneath his clothes. Finally, he wears a single brown glove in his left hand.
• Fiery Redhead: He's hot-headed, wild, and violent, all of which is represented by his red hair.
• Forced to Watch: On episode 8 Mykage forced him to watch as Jin "violated" Mikono by stripping her clothes using specialized ammo.
• Freudian Excuse: Mykage's torturing and abuse made him desperate to find someone that would accept him. This is one of the big reasons why he became so obsessed with Mikono: as the two were reincarnated to fulfill the love of their past lives, he could trust her to give him the acceptance he craved for.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Sousei no Aquarion Love implies that the members of Neo-DEAVA consider him more of nuisance than a trusted ally, which is unsurprising given his rude attitude and lack of respect towards authority.
• Fur and Loathing: He's one of the most prominent enemies in the anime and wears a fur-lined top.
• Graceful Loser: The final episode shows Kagura realizing that Amata's love for the present Mikono is far stronger than his own love for "Sylvie." This allows him to graciously give up on Mikono and give Amata the final push he needs to rescue her.
• Heel–Face Turn: The final episode has him team up with Amata and Zessica to save Mikono from Mykage. And with him accepting his loss to Amata and joining Neo-DEAVA, it's clear that he's no longer a villain.
• Hot-Blooded: He's loud, rowdy, and shamelessly charges into battle.
• In the Blood: Both he and his father Izumo thought of abandoning Altair for the sake of a woman. Unlike Izumo, however, Kagura actually went through with the idea.
• Leeroy Jenkins: As time goes on, his recklessness becomes an increasing liability to Izumo's plans, not to mention all the collateral damage he does whenever he's near his "smelly wench." So much so he had to be reined in by Mykage (and is literally caged) after losing to Aquarion for the second time. Fortunately for Mykage, he found a way to use Kagura's unpredictability in his favor.
  • By episode 23 he rebels against Izumo when all of Altair tries to get Mikono to revive their planet. Even Izumo says that he no longer has the right to call himself a citizen of Altair.
• Leitmotif: Has "Beast Beat", "Kagura's Wasteland" and "Fragments of Eve".
• Let's You and Him Fight: Sousei no Aquarion Love has him and Apollo start fighting not even a minute after meeting each other for no reason other than they can't stand the other's scent.
• Literal Split Personality: He's the "dark side" of Amata split by Mykage when the latter was a kid, who rewrote his memories and renamed him "Kagura".
• Lovable Sex Maniac: If you take that "kill" is the opposite of sexual reproduction, he falls into this. Starting from episode 11 he never stops talking about how badly he wants to "kill" Mikono and how he's going to kill her over and over again. Ironically, when he actually gets some alone time with her, he displays shy hesitation over "killing" her "in a place like this," much to her confusion.
• Love Hungry: Revealed to be what drives all of his actions. Being tortured and controlled by Mykage made him desperate to be accepted by someone, with Mikono being the one person he thinks can give him what he wants.
• Love Makes You Crazy: He was already determined to obtain Mikono, but his recent torture at the hands of Mykage's turned the psychosis up a notch.
• Loving a Shadow: Even though he was attracted to Mikono's smell right from the start, getting Fake Memories of "Apollon and Sylvie" from Mykage has caused him to chase after Mikono simply on the basis of their supposed past lives. At the end of the series, he hears Amata proclaim that he loves Mikono for being Mikono instead of the reincarnation of someone he never met. This makes Kagura realize that his feelings are superficial compared to Amata's and lets Mikono be with the man who can love her current self.
• Luminescent Blush: His cheeks turn bright pink around Mikono in Episode 15.
• Moment Killer: Is a constant offender of this towards Amata/Mikono moments, specifically in Episode 5 and Episode 12.
• More than Mind Control: To the point that all of his actions that he attempts to do to get his "smelly wench" are all part of Mykage's plan.
• Mr. Fanservice: He's considered quite attractive by girls in-universe, and his outfit exposes part of his chest.
• Murder the Hypotenuse: Kagra was apparently willing to let Amata off the hook if the latter "stayed out of his and Mikono's way." Amata, obviously, was never going to take that option, so Kagura spends all of their further interactions trying to kill his rival.
• My Greatest Failure: In the manga, he seems to feel regret over leaving Silvia behind during his days as Apollo. Trying to make up for it this time may possibly factor into his motivation here.
• My Future Self and Me: In Sousei no Aquarion Love, he and Apollo almost instantly dislike each other, and start fighting in their respective Aquarions (Kagura in Evol and Apollo in Solar).
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Gives quite the beating to Amata on episode 15 while attempting to kill him.
• The Nose Knows: An important point in his character, since he recognized Silvia's reincarnation by her smell.
• No Sense of Personal Space: He doesn't seem to get how uncomfortable he makes Mikono by suddenly holding her in his arms and smelling her.
• Not in This for Your Revolution: He'd rather chase after his "smelly wench" Mikono than join the hunt for the "New Eve."
• One-Man Army: He was already powerful in Episode 1 where he thrashed two Aquarias like they were nothing. In Episode 11, he took down several of Altair's machines, wreaking havoc across Ianthe (capital of Altair) unless Izumo reopens the gate to Vega. Altair had to fire their Wave-Motion Gun thrice and pepper him with a Beam Spam until he goes down... only for him to rise back and, with Mykage's aid, manage to teleport to Vega, where he defeats Amata's Aquarion Evol, and has to be defeated by a double-Aquarion teamup (Gepard of Jin/Yunoha, Cayenne and Zessica, and Spada of Shrade, Amata and Mikono).
• Pet the Dog: While he was initially willing to follow Zessica's request to kill her in order to defeat Mykage, he ultimately decides that Zessica's life wasn't so worthless that she deserved to die for somebody like Amata.
• Personality Powers: Inverted. His new found Reversal abilities changes his own personality. Shown in his encounter with Mikono in Episode 13, he now says the opposite of what he really feels.
• Perpetual Frowner: He tends to scowl whenever he's not in battle or when around Mikono.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: He can turn into a vicious wolf form that has red eyes.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's the Hot-Blooded, aggressive Red Oni to Amata's calmer, passive Blue Oni. He also has this contrast with the introverted Jin.
• Scarily Competent Tracker: His superhuman sense of smell makes it nigh impossible to hide from him.
• Shock and Awe: His axe can generate lightning around the blade.
• Self-Made Orphan: Unintentionally in the anime, as Mykage in Zessica's body controlled Kagura into killing his father Izumo. He didn't have anything to do with it in the manga though, as there Mykage killed both of Kagura's parents himself.
• Stalker Shrine:
  • Kind of a digital one. On episode 11 while he screams "MY SYLVIE" the inside of his Mithra Gnis displays tons of pictures of Mikono, all of them varying in colors as they all form a big collage of Mikono's face.
  • Later there's a more non-romantic example with Alicia. On Vega, when Amata enters his room, where also Kagura was staying, he finds a wall full of pictures of Alicia (Kagura didn't knew Alicia was his mother).
• Stalker with a Crush: He wants Mikono, and he sees nothing wrong with literally chasing after her at any opportunity.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: He has golden eyes and he's Amata's Enemy Without and part of Apollo's reincarnation.
• Superpower Lottery: In a world where powers range from flying to filling holes, he can reverse ANYTHING. Think of the possibilities here.
• Tarot Motifs: Is associated with the Black Joker.
• Took a Level in Kindness: By the end of the show, he's become capable of putting other people before himself, a far cry from how he was portrayed before..
• The Un-Favourite: When compared to his other half Amata. His parents never even stopped by to visit him before passing on. And even on her deathbed, Alicia never looked like she cared about him....
• Unwitting Pawn: His murderous obsession for Mikono makes him Mykage's perfect lapdog.
• Villainous Crush: His motivation for much of the series revolves around getting together with Mikono, driving him to repeatedly trying to steal her from Amata.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Zessica by the end of the series. He's got a rude nickname for her, but shows a surprising amount of care for her. In Sousei no Aquarion Love, he even tries to avenge her defeat at the hands of Apollo.
• Wild Card: He has no loyalty to Altair and mostly acts on a whim. All he really cares about is Mikono, so it doesn't matter to him if he causes trouble for the heroes or the other villains to get his way.
• Wild Child: At first, he looks like one, but is not, really. Is very implied that Mykage raised him and he never grew out alone in the wild as a kid, since most of the time Mykage kept him in a cage. Even more subverted since he shares Amata's memories of living in Vega until the moment Mykage separated them.
• Yandere: For Mikono. He does not react well towards anyone that stands between him and getting his "wench."
  It stinks. I want to kill that wench. I want to kill her, then take her in my arms... and crush her! My... Sylvie!
• Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: He has yellow eyes and he's a violent and ruthless Yandere.

Zessica Wong

Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa (Japanese), Caitlin Glass (English)

A girl from Neo DEAVA who would like engaging with the opposite sex more. Showing no inhibition about cross-gender Unions (earning her MIX and Suomi's scolding), she also started taking interest in Amata, going so far as to tease him just to see him float around, much to Mikono's jealousy.

She is the second most frequent user of Aquarion Gepard, though she's more famous for her one-time use of Aquarion Spada.

---

• Anguished Declaration of Love: In episode 16, she confesses her feelings to Amata in the middle of an emotional outburst. Her timing couldn't be worse because they're inside the Aquarion and her romantic feelings cause it to go berserk.
• Badass in Distress: After Mykage unwillingly possesses her.
• Betty and Veronica: The flirtatious and provocatively dressed Veronica to Mikono's well-mannered and demure Betty. She loses.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: In the manga, this happens to her instead of MIX; in her case, she more or less becomes Mykage's bodyguard, seemingly without her previous memories.
• Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: Ever since she started developing genuine feelings for Amata, her previously flirty attitude towards him ceased to exist.
• Changing Yourself for Love: In episode 17, she changes her revealing outfit for a white minidress with a style similar to Mikono's in an attempt to attract Amata's attention. It doesn't work.
• Chekhov's Gun: Her preference for Stripperiffic clothing becomes a key to defeating Jin's Radius Gnis in Episode 8: while being hit with missiles that destroy her, Amata's, and Mikono's Vector suits, Zessica realizes that the less clothing she has, the more sensitive she becomes to the missiles, allowing her to dodge them effortlessly. She starts tearing off more of her suit and encourages Amata and Mikono to do the same while she tears down Radius Gnis with Aquarion Spada.
• Cleavage Window: Her top has a gap on the center of the front that shows her breast cleavage.
• Cute Little Fangs: One of her fangs sticks out sometimes to match her teasing personality.
• Deal with the Devil: A forced one by the Mykage in episode 19.
• Demonic Possession: Courtesy of Mykage, natch.
• Emotional Powers: Apparently, her powers are connected to her frustration. In Episode 12, she accidentally crushes a pole with her powers after she gets jealous over seeing Amata fly for Mikono.
• Gender Bender: She gets turned into a man instead of MIX in the manga.
• Genki Girl: She's shown to be an energetic and outspoken young lady...for the first 8 episodes. Then she realizes her feelings for Amata, and suddenly she's spending most of her downtime sulking.
• Hand Blast: Episode 2 has her team up with Amata to have Evol create a hand-shaped energy blast.
• Head-Turning Beauty: Her revealing dressing style inevitably attracts lots of male attention.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Attempts this in episode 18, but MIX is taken away instead. Tries again in episode 21 and survives again. Tries one more time in the finale, asking Kagura to kill her. He refuses.
• Hopeless Suitor: She knows Amata isn't romantically interested in her and only sees her as a friend because he's in love with Mikono.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: At the end, she's finally able to accept Amata and Mikono as a couple.
• Jealous Romantic Witness: It just so happens that every time Amata and Mikono have a moment together, Zessica is always there to witness it and wish she could be in Mikono's place.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Deconstructed. In episode 18, her hot-headed and rushed decisions gets Mix kidnapped.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The shameless, flirty Dark Feminine to Mikono's soft-spoken, polite Light Feminine.
• Love Epiphany: After getting a glimpse of Amata's exposed body near the end of Episode 8, she comes to realize that she's seriously attracted to him.
• Love Hurts: At first, she only likes to tease Amata, but ends up falling for him. Him only having eyes for Mikono becomes a massive source of angst for Zessica for pretty much the rest of the series.
• Mind over Matter: Her Element power involves telekinesis, usually to twist objects (such as light pole behind her).
• Ms. Fanservice: She's a busty girl who walks around in a tank-top that barely hides her breasts and a pair of ridiculously short shorts.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: She confesses her unrequited love for Amata while they are in the Aquarion, causing it to go berserk.
• No Dress Code: She gets away with going around the academy with very little clothes on.
• Satellite Love Interest: Unlike most of the other major characters, the audience never really learns anything about her for the entirety of the show; she's defined by her role as a Hopeless Suitor for Amata who angsts about how she never stood a chance in winning his heart.
• Sexy Backless Outfit: Her top is backless except for black straps that form an X around her back.
• Shameless Fanservice Girl: She has no problem walking around in an outfit that leaves so little to the imagination.
• Shipper with an Agenda: She wants to believe that Kagura and Mikono are destined for each other because they are the reincarnations of Apollon and Sylvie. She clings on to this because it gives her a tiny hope that Mikono won't choose Amata in the end, which would give Zessica a chance to be with him.
• Shower of Angst: In episode 18, she takes a depressing shower when having one of her many Love Hurts episodes.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Episode 5 has Zessica claim that she likes innocent guys like Amata.
• Sobriquet Sex Switch: In the manga, she gets turned into a boy instead of MIX and goes from Zessica to being called ZEXY.
• Stepford Smiler: As times goes on, she forces herself to try and stay cheerful as her jealousy and sadness over Amata loving Mikono only eats her up.
• Stripperific: As pointed out by MIX, Zessica's default outfit covers little more than underwear.
• Tarot Motifs: Is associated with the Ace of Diamonds.
• The Tease: She initially enjoyed flirting with Amata because him unintentionally flying whenever he gets flustered was a source of great amusement for her; Episode 5 even has her pulling his arm into her cleavage to see it happen. Of course, this part of her all but disappears after Episode 8.
• Thanks for the Mammary: She ends up having her boob groped by an Altair local in episode 19. Strangely it wasn't done out of perversion, but curiosity - the locals of Altair have not seen a living female in ages and thus don't know what breasts are.
• Underboobs: In episode 17, she changes her skimpy outfit for a dress that is much more modest in general, except for a cut on her top that exposes the undersides of her breasts.
• Unrequited Love Lasts Forever: Invoked in Episode 17, where she claims that she'll continue loving Amata despite knowing that he doesn't feel the same way. It only ends up causing her more misery as the series continued.
• Vapor Wear: She wears a skimpy tank-top and shorts with a side opening bound together by laces which show that she doesn't wear underwear at all.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: If the last episode, as well as Aquarion Love, are anything to go by, she seems to have formed something like this with Kagura, of all people.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: In the Sousei no Aquarion Love, she is knocked unconscious following a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from an Ax-Crazy Apollo, and she is promptly switched with Amata using Element Change. We don't see her afterwards in the OVA.
• What Is This Feeling?: Started feeling embarrassment at the end of Episode 8 over seeing Amata half-naked after all three stripped off their Vector suits to allow them to defeat Radius Gnis.
• What's He Got That I Ain't Got?!: She frequently questions what's that Mikono has that makes Amata choose her over her.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's terrified of ghosts.

Neo DEAVA

Cayenne Suzushiro

Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (Japanese), Jason Liebrecht (English)

Mikono's older brother and a Chick Magnet (though to a lesser extent than Shrade). His power is psychic vision through a red point of light emanating from his forehead (like a Third Eye of sorts).

He is the most frequent pilot of Aquarion Gepard.

---

• Aloof Big Brother: He cares for Mikono and thinks he must protect her, but there's poor emotional connection and communication between the siblings because of Mikono's insecurities about her apparent lack of an Element power and Cayenne looking down on her because of it. Their relationship improves a bit later as Cayenne realizes Mikono isn't the defenseless little girl who couldn't do anything by herself anymore.
• Big Brother Instinct: Deconstructed: he's been quite protective of his little sister Mikono since they were kids, but unfortunately, it took him years to realize that she can actually stand on her own feet now and no longer needs his protection.
• Blessed with Suck: His Element ability of prophecy allows him to become an excellent sniper. However, he is also haunted by visions of Mikono perishing through a chain of events apparently linked to the Aquarion, and thus he tries his best to keep Mikono safe, even if he has to demoralize her to accomplish it.
• Chick Magnet: He's popular among the girls of the academy.
• Coat Cape: He has a navy coat, which he wears like a cape.
• Cold Sniper: Played with; he's a long-ranged specialist, and he tries to maintain a cold and distant attitude. However, it doesn't take that much to set him off.
• Combat Clairvoyance: After the "Special Training of the Grave," Cayenne's precognition Element has been enhanced into "Instant Prophecy"; he is now capable of triggering visions on purpose just a moment into the future. In the mock battle against Amata, he is shown using this combined with Aquarion Gepard's weapon targeting system to fire right where the target is about to move. However, this ability isn't perfect as it wasn't able to detect Aquarion Evol's "Super Dimensional Infinity Punch" until it was too late.
• Condescending Compassion: In the first 4 episodes, he felt responsible for protecting Mikono because he still views her as his cowardly and useless little sister who never developed her own Element. Thankfully, he got better.
• Declaration of Protection: Ever since they were kids, he wanted to protect his sister Mikono.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: While he initially acted prickly towards Shrade, the powerful bond they develop ends up becoming their most prominent relationship.
• Hot-Blooded: Try as he might to be a Cold Sniper, it's not long before he's shouting with the best of them.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: In the first episode alone, he even performs target practice blindfolded.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can be downright mean at times, even towards to his own sister, but it's clear that he wants to protect the people important in his life. And to his credit, he does soften up a bit.
• Knight Templar Big Brother: His protectiveness towards his little sister leads him to destroy her self-esteem to make sure she doesn't get herself into dangerous situations.
• Manly Tears: Sheds these in Episode 23 after Shrade dies for good on his fourth sortie.
• My Sister Is Off-Limits: He makes clear he doesn't like Amata due to the latter's super-obvious crush on his sister.
• Noble Male, Roguish Male: Roguish Male to Shrade's Noble Male.
• Perpetual Frowner: His default expression is a stern, angry frown.
• Properly Paranoid: He was right to find Jin suspicious, as the latter was a spy.
• Psychic Powers: His Element power usually takes of the form of Precognition towards bad events.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The fiery red to Shrade's cool blue.
• Say My Name: Mikono!!!
• Tsundere: A male Harsh type. He's frequently abrasive towards everybody (especially Amata), but occasionally shows a softer, protective side towards Mikono, and as a few episodes show, is also starting to defrost to Shrade.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: Due to his visions of Mikono's death related to the Aquarion, he tries his best to keep her away from anything related to it—by having to lower her self-esteem a few notches.

Andy W. Hole

Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanese), Jessie James Grelle (English)

Andy can find any weak point in any structure and has control over the power of the earth. Out of all the boys of Neo DEAVA, he is the most eager to make contact with girls.

---

• Attack Its Weak Point: He creates tunnels by finding the weakpoint in the structure of the material and crumbling it down into a hole.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With MIX. They butt heads whenever they're together, but become attracted to each other over time.
• Beta Couple: As Amata's Bromantic Foil, Andy has a growing romantic relationship of his own with MIX while Amata must deal with the love square mess.
• Big Damn Heroes: Saves Amata and Mikono from Kagura in Episode 13 by creating a hole beneath the latter's feet.
• Bromantic Foil: He's the openly perverted and easygoing male friend who directly contrasts the meek and insecure Amata.
• Butt-Monkey: His misfortune is a frequent source of comedy.
• Chivalrous Pervert: He was the most perverse of the male cast, but it's also clear that he cares about the girls as people at the same time. In fact, he declares in the end that he'd love Mix even if she remained a man, though fortunately for him, she returned to being female by the end.
• Curtains Match the Window: He has has brown hair and light brown eyes.
• Demoted to Extra: In the manga, he loses any focus he got in the anime, not even getting any hints of a relationship with MIX. Perhaps because of this, he even got his first co-ed merge (see below) with no issue.
• If It's You, It's Okay: Despite the Curse of Eve turning MIX into a boy, Andy ultimately decides that he loves her no matter what her gender is.
• Large Ham: There's rarely a time where he's not Chewing the Scenery.
• Mysterious Middle Initial: It's never revealed what the "W" in his name stands for.
• Named After Someone Famous: Aside from having a meaningful and Punny Name, his is a few letters away from Andy Warhol's.
• Official Couple: He and MIX finally become true lovers at the end of the final episode.
• Opposites Attract: Andy, who is laidback and, at first, perverted, falls for the overly serious man-hater MIX. Even their powers are opposites (Andy makes holes, MIX seals holes).
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The extraverted Red to Amata's timid Blue.
• Running Gag: The anime frequently denies him the chance to make cross-gender merges. He even lampshades on his misfortune when he had to be swapped for Amata in making a union with Zessica and Shrade.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The manly man to Amata's sensitive guy.
• Serious Business: Tunneling
• Shipper on Deck: Supports Amata in his pursuit to dig a hole Mikono's heart.
• Superpower Meltdown: After his rejection by Mix in the beach episode, he became unstable getting depressed thinking of her would cause him to tunnel immediately beneath himself whenever he thought about it. This went From Bad to Worse when he discovers MIX's fate due to the Curse of Eve.
• Tunnel King: He is very good at digging holes, which extends to rapidly burrowing through the earth.
• Understanding Boyfriend: After being snapped out of the brainwashing, MIX is appalled by her transformation into a boy and thinks Andy must be disgusted at her changed body. Andy then makes clear he isn't bothered by it and is just happy to have MIX back regardless of her physical sex.
• Unrealistic Black Hole: The ultimate evolution of his "digging" power is the ability to dig a "black hole" between dimensions, opening trans-dimensional gates entirely on his own.
• Unusual Euphemism: "Big bangs" to MIX's large breasts.
• Yank the Dog's Chain: In Episode 9, just when he finally has a chance to form a cross-gender Union (with MIX and Mikono), he ended up having to cover MIX from mook fire, knocking him unconscious and being forced to switch out of the Vector-X for Amata. But hey, at least he felt the orgasmic ecstasy of a Union twice (in "spirit" for the second one, at least).
  • In the manga, however, he gets his first co-ed merge with Yunoha and Jin. Presumably, him getting Demoted to Extra meant that this Running Gag wasn't worth keeping.

MIX

Voiced by: Ayumi Fujimura (Japanese), Alexis Tipton (English)

MIX starts off as a strict, serious girl. Her power was creating enclosures and covering up any weak spots.

In the series, she is the only other person to pilot Aquarion EVOL besides Amata.

---

• Barrier Warrior: She uses her powers to clog three enemy Abductors' weapons and propulsion systems.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Andy. They butt heads because of their clashing personalities, yet they end up developing feelings for each other.
• Beta Couple: She gradually forms a romantic relationship with Amata's Bromantic Foil Andy. It was slow to develop because of their Belligerent Sexual Tension, but they still have it easy compared to the main love square mixed with complicated Reincarnation Romance stuff.
• Blank White Eyes: Sported these on Episode 16 after hearing Zessica confess to Amata and again in Episode 17 after Andy's rather suggestive confession to her.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: After being kidnapped by Altair in episode 18, they brainwash her and send her out as an enemy pilot against Aquarion.
• Buxom Beauty Standard: She has the biggest chest among the main females, and they're a constant target of Andy's ogling. There's a reason he calls them "big bangs" in the Japanese script.
• Damsel in Distress: Altair capture her in episode 18 and then brainwash her in the next episode. Andy finds her and snaps her out of the mind control.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: She starts out as the most unapproachable of Neo DEAVA's girls due to her misandry and is especially disdainful of Andy because of his initial perversion. Starting from Episode 9, she becomes less harsh towards Andy after they're forced to put aside their differences to confront some enemies. She has feelings for Andy in the following episodes.
• Demoted to Extra: In the manga, same deal as Andy. A big deal isn't even made when they eventually do merge (odd given her attitude towards males); they were just randomly there for Shrade's (belated) first merge. Zessica also takes her place in the whole Brainwashed and Crazy Gender Bender subplot.
• Does Not Like Men: She feels outright disgust for men, especially perverse guys like Andy.
• Fiery Redhead: Orange hair for an irritable, no-nonsense Tsundere.
• Freudian Excuse: Her initial disdain for men and holes stems from her father, a sightseeing magazine writer, abandoning her and her mother in favor of a woman he met at a hole-in-the-wall bathhouse.
• Gender Bender: After being kidnapped, Mix is affected by the disease that "wiped out" Altair's women by turning their bodies and minds into those of men. At the end of the final episode, she has returned to being a girl.
• Hates Their Parent: Her father left her mother for another woman. Due to this, MIX doesn't even want to talk about her father.
• Midair Repair: Uses her powers to close the bullet holes in the Vector-Z.
• Official Couple: She becomes Andy's girlfriend at the end of the anime.
• Opposites Attract: She's strict and prudish, as opposed to Andy who is laidback and perverse. In fact, her power was the diametrical opposite of Andy's. Despite their initial differences, they end up having feelings for each other.
• Proper Tights with a Skirt: Her usual outfit has dark blue tights and a short skirt. She's also the most stern girl in the cast.
• Sobriquet Sex Switch: She gets turned into a boy because of being brought to Altair and calls herself MIXY (as in a combo of MIX and XY).
• Straw Feminist: She thought lowly of men, believing them inferior to females in terms of combat potential.
• Tarot Motifs: She's associated with the Queen of Diamonds.
• Tsundere: Initially Harsh type. She develops feelings for Andy while she still treated him like a stupid pervert and was always at odds with him.

Shrade Elan

Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Eric Vale (English)

Neo DEAVA's smartest and most popular student, whose poor health prevents him from going to active service. His power is using sound to manipulate brainwaves.

He is the most frequent pilot of Aquarion Spada.

---

• The Ace: Mentioned as being the top student at Neo-DEAVA, so good that he isn't even required to participate in training. He's also an incredible piano and violin player. His only drawback is his frail health.
• Back for the Finale: His spirit brings his Vector back and gives his power to Cayenne to help him against Mykage.
• Blessed with Suck: His Element power caused many of those he knew, including his own parents, to murder each other. This has lead to him being rather... cold toward most of the other characters: he isn't exactly unkind to them, but he doesn't really seem to care much about anything either, with the possible exception of Cayenne.
• Cast from Lifespan: Crea theorizes that the Aquarion's tendency to evenly distribute the Elements' powers among each other could be too much for Shrade's weak body (despite his high energy pool) to handle, and could be possibly lethal. He actually survives his first active sortie, but has to be hospitalized and was given a warning by Crea that the next sortie could become his last.
• Child Prodigy: He was a musical prodigy as a child.
• Cultured Badass: Not only is he a competent Element User, he also likes adding musical references to his speeches, especially whenever he is the narrator on the "On the Next" segments.
• Dark and Troubled Past: His Element power was, at first, uncontrolled and his piano playing aroused extreme negative emotions within those listening, unintentionally causing his parents to kill each other.
• Dissonant Serenity: Andy lampshades on how calm he can be while mentally torturing Cayenne into stopping his attempted beatdown on Amata over the bizarre conclusion to their simulation battle.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Cayenne.
• Killed Off for Real: In Episode 23.
• Magic Music: He has the ability to use music to manipulate brainwaves, with which he can stun people or drive them into a genocidal frenzy.
• Noble Male, Roguish Male: Noble Male to Cayenne's Roguish Male.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Cayenne's red.
• Self-Made Orphan: Unintentionally. His power suddenly manifested while playing the piano, making his parents kill each other.
• Spared by the Adaptation: He lives in the manga.
• Specs of Awesome: He wears glasses and is the top Element of the group.
• Tarot Motifs: Is associated with the Ace of Spades.

Yunoha Surool

Voiced by: Yui Ogura (Japanese), Luci Christian (English)

A little girl with the power to turn herself invisible. Until Amata encouraged her to come out of her shell, all that is seen of her is a green frog-like doll she always carries around.

---

• Birds of a Feather: With Jin. Both are quiet and socially withdrawn people. Yunoha becomes interested in Jin because he reminds her so much of herself before she started to make friends and tries to bring him out of his shell.
• Covert Pervert: She bought a picture of a half-naked Amata.
• Cursed with Awesome: She has great misgivings about her powers, which make many think she's a ghost. Though it turns out to be pretty useful in their second fight against Jin's Radius Gnis, where she can turn the Aquarion invisible and thus impervious to damage, allowing Amata to finish it off with the "Subliminal Punch."
• The Cutie: She's the most adorable and sweetest character of the main cast.
• "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Sings the second ending Yunoha no Mori
• Endearingly Dorky: She dresses her frog plushie as Alicia because Jin is a fan of the actress. Jin finds this to be such an adorably silly gesture that his entire face turns red.
• Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She always carries around a green frog-like plushie which is, until Episode 7, her only sign of presence.
• Go Through Me: Places herself between Jin and Cayenne, who was then armed with a stun gun, in order to protect the former when the latter confronted him about being a spy. The latter's gun fires at that precise moment, only for Jin to place himself in front of Yunoha and, by pure accident, block it with an energy shield.
• Heroic BSoD: Jin's death nearly drove her into becoming a Death Seeker. She recovers once Jin's spirit and Mikono encourage her to live.
• Invisibility: Her power makes her turn invisible.
• Invisible Introvert: Yunoha is a very shy girl with the power to turn invisible. By the start of the show, she's completely withdrawn from socializing with her classmates to the point that she remains invisible at all times, save for the plush frog she carries around. This is to the point that many of her classmates don't even know she exists, or later on believe her to be a ghost. Even when she starts socializing more she has a habit of turning invisible again whenever she's feeling particularly shy.
• Mistaken for Undead: Because she can make herself invisible, from others' perspective, all they see is a plushie floating around on its own. This causes an initial misunderstanding of her being a ghost.
• Older Than She Looks: As a matter of fact, she's actually fifteen, but looks around twelve. She's a year older than Jin, even though he's much taller than her.
• Personality Powers: Her power of perfect camouflage seems well-suited to her innate shyness.
• Prone to Tears: She cries easily because of her shyness.
• Secret Secret-Keeper: In Episode 12, she discovers that Jin is The Mole thanks to Mykage's interference. Conflicted by his deceit and her growing friendship/relationship with him, she keeps this knowledge from Jin until the next episode.
• Shrinking Violet: She's terminally shy.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: With Jin. They start to fall in love shortly after they meet, but they're on enemies sides. Jin does switch sides because of his feelings for Yunoha, but he's killed immediately afterwards. However, the Director's cut reveals his soul now inhabits Yunoha's plushie so he can be with her always in some way.
• Tender Tears: The sight of her in tears is enough to make Jin start wavering over his original goal of personally capturing a "Rare Igura" worthy of becoming Altair's "Eve." Come Episode 13, she breaks down crying as Jin dies in front of her.
• Token Mini-Moe: She's the shortest and most childlike of the Elemental Users.
• Twice Shy: With Jin. They quickly become attracted to each other, but both are very shy and socially awkward, so they have a hard time just talking and looking at each other in the eye.

• Genki Girl: She's very bright and energetic.

• Hot Teacher: She's an attractive woman dressed like a nun and runs Neo-DEAVA's female academy. In the Beach Episode, the male students think she looks hot in a swimsuit.

• Vague Age: She looks like a little girl, but is also the chairwoman of Neo-DEAVA academy. Her age is never established, so it's unknown if she's an adult woman who looks much younger than she is or a Child Prodigy.

Altair

Izumo Kamurogi

Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto (Japanese), Mike McFarland (English)

Supreme Commander of Altair. He has his men cross through dimensions to Vega in an attempt to save their world.

He pilots the Ahura Gnis.

---

• Anti-Villain: He had good intentions from the start, but one wonders why his first actions was kidnapping people rather than, say, peacefully contacting Vega and asking for their help.
• Catch and Return: His mech's primary ability is to absorb the attacks of others and return them twofold.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Wears darker clothing, sports the traditional evil goatee, and intimidating-looking, but otherwise Izumo is a reasonable enemy commander with noble intentions. This stands in stark contrast to Mykage, whose angelic appearance masks his selfish desires.
• Disappeared Dad: He's Amata's father, but played absolutely no part in raising him and Amata had no idea of their connection before the reveal.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Chews out Mykage thrice — on Episode 8, for manipulating three of Jin's most loyal henchmen into becoming his pawns; on Episode 11, over allowing the crazed Kagura to go to Vega to get his "smelly wench"; and on Episode 14, over killing Jin and then holding a eulogy for him before the rest of Altair.
  Jin, what I... no, what Altair has done can never be forgiven.
• Evil Counterpart: An Anti-Villainous variant, to Zen.
• Killed Off for Real: At the hands of a mind controlled Kagura in the anime. In the manga, however, Mykage kills him.
• Light Is Good: His Ahura Gnis has a light-themed design and is named after Ahura Mazda, Zoroastrian god of light.
• Luke, I Am Your Father: He's revealed to be Amata's father.
• My Greatest Failure: Allowing Mykage to manipulate Altair and kill Jin for refusing to go along with his schemes.
• Offing the Offspring: Attempted in episodes 23 and 24 of the anime. Though unlike Alicia he had no way of knowing that Kagura is his son. In the manga, however, Izumo and Kagura never had such a confrontation.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking: He turns out to be an extremely skilled Gnis pilot, to the point that even Kagura, after all his powerups, can barely match him in combat.
• Together in Death: Towards the end of the series, Izumo and Alicia die. They go to the afterlife together after saying goodbye to their son.
• Unusual Eyebrows: His eyebrows are kinked at the ends.
• Wave-Motion Gun: His Altair Cannon attack that is powered by all of Altair itself through the Ianthe.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Tells Jin that their mission wasn't to invade Vega, but to find suitable females to repopulate their race whose female population largely died out due to a mysterious disease, rendering Altair virtually sterile.

Jin Muso

Voiced by: Jun Fukushima (Japanese), Todd Haberkorn (English)

Izumo's other subordinate and a cunning strategist. Unlike the hot-headed Kagura, Jin prefers manipulating Abductor Mooks from high up in space or puppet-controlling Radius Gnis, a machine suited for long-range combat which complements his natural ability to generate energy shields.

---

• Accidental Pervert: In Episode 10, he finally does what Andy has yet to — infiltrate the girls' changing room (although unintentionally on his part).
• Always with You: The Director's cut reveals that after dying his soul entered Yunoha's plushie, allowing him to be with her again.
• Barrier Warrior: His Element power allows him to create energy barriers.
• Birds of a Feather: With Yunoha. They're two quiet and socially withdrawn people who quickly feel drawn to each other.
• A Child Shall Lead Them: He serves as Izumo's dragon and has at least three direct subordinates, despite being literally the youngest person on Altair.
• Defecting for Love: He switches sides out of love for Yunoha.
• Die or Fly: When Yunoha is almost shot when defending Jin, Jin's Element powers awaken and form a barrier to protect Yunoha and himself.
• Disney Death: Seemingly Killed Off for Real at the end of Episode 8, but Episode 9 reveals that he survived and has infiltrated Neo DEAVA in Episode 10. Averted in Episode 13.
• The Dragon: Thanks to Kagura being too much of a Wild Card, Jin acts as Izumo's more controlled and obedient subordinate.
• Evil Genius: Besides being a pilot, he also serves as mechanic for Mithra and Radius Gnis.
• Fanboy: He's a fan of singer and actress Alicia/Sylvie. He has an idealized vision of women because of this and doesn't understand why the women at Neo DEAVA are nothing like his idol.
• Heel–Face Turn: In Episode 13, he turns against Altair for Yunoha's sake. Unfortunately Mykage saw to it that he will have to pay for his defection with his life.
• Hiding Behind Your Bangs: His eyes are almost always covered by his hair. He's an antisocial loner and his unfamiliarity with women really shows in his awkward interaction with the girls.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: Zen claims the Radius Gnis can shoot an arrow through a coin a thousand villages away. Jin himself can accurately shoot targets from the moon and perform perfect trick shots using lasers and reflective orbs to attack an enemy from numerous angles at once.
• Killed Off for Real: He gets killed in Episode 13 and never comes back in any form.
• Last of His Kind: He is so far the last person born in Altair.
• Love Redeems: He betrays Altair after falling in love with Yunoha.
• Magic Tool: His device, which contains a hologram of Alicia.
• Marionette Master: Prefers controlling Abductor Mooks from high up in space. When he has to send out Radius Gnis, he either controls it from the comfort of his room (in Episode 7) or pilots it by himself (Episodes 4 and 8).
• The Mole: As of Episode 10, he poses as a New Transfer Student to Neo DEAVA (stealing the identity of one "Akbarjin Batbayar") in his own quest to find a Reaigler worthy of becoming Altair's "Eve."
• No Social Skills: During his time at Neo DEAVA, he shows himself as awkward and antisocial because he has never been at a school before. He especially has no idea of how to act around women because there's only men in Altair.
• Not in This for Your Revolution: Like Kagura, he'd rather spend time listening to holographic recordings of Alicia than join Altair's abductions. But since he's the Last of His Kind, Altair has huge expectations of him.
• One Head Taller: He's taller than Yunoha by a full head.
• Personality Powers: His Element power generates barriers as a manifestation of his wish to be left alone.
• Redemption Equals Death: He switches sides and helps Neo DEAVA protect the academy and defeat Kagura, but is killed by Mykage as a punishment.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The quiet, introverted Blue Oni to Kagura's passionate, wild Red Oni.
• Sacrificial Lion: He's killed halfway through the series, marking the point in which the overall tone changes from light-hearted to more serious and angsty. His death showed everyone that Mykage is not as harmless as he seems. People begin to leave the school fearing for their lives. His death also causes a massive Heroic BSoD to come upon all of the major characters.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: With Yunoha. They start to fall in love shortly after they meet, but they're on enemies sides. Jin does switch sides because of his feelings for Yunoha, but he's killed immediately afterwards. However, the Director's cut reveals his soul now inhabits Yunoha's plushie so he can be with her always in some way.
• This Cannot Be!: Ends his third loss to Aquarion baffled at how the latter managed to come back from a serious disadvantage, dodge all his remaining ammo, and knock his Radius Gnis out with an energized punch.
• Twice Shy: With Yunoha. They quickly become attracted to each other, but both are very shy and socially awkward, so they have a hard time just talking and looking at each other in the eye.
• Younger Than He Looks: He's actually only fourteen, but can easily pass off as a high school student.

Mykage Towano

Voiced by: Yūichi Nakamura (Japanese), J. Michael Tatum (English)

A Priest of Altair who has recently awoken from stasis in a glass-like encasing.

---

• Alien Blood: His blood is blue.
• Alien Hair: He has feathers instead of hair.
• Astral Projection: One of his abilities.
• Big Bad: The most dangerous and villainous character.
• Combat Pragmatist: Perfectly willing to get his hands dirty when things don't go his way or the enemy brings out their most powerful weapon. As shown when he attacks the place where Alicia is at and kills her in order to distract Izumo to land Genesis Aquarion's Finishing Move.
• Dark Is Evil: He is Toma's hatred. Eventually he gains Ancient AQ which is dark in color.
• Enemy Without: He's the personification of Toma's hatred after he found out Apollo was not Apollonius.
• Evil Mentor: To Kagura.
• Expy Coexistence: His character design is very reminiscent of Touma, the Big Bad from the previous series. Episode 23 reveals Mykage is part of Touma, specifically the incarnation of Touma's hatred.
• Godhood Seeker: He'll become a god if Altair and Vega become one.
• Hero Killer: He kills Jin after the latter switches sides out of love for Yunoha.
• Knight of Cerebus: His manipulation of Kagura's emotions and murder of Jin causes the series to take on a substantially darker tone.
• Light Is Not Good: Bears an angelic appearance, has white plume-like hair, speaks in a mellow tone... and has the heart of the Devil himself.
• Literal Split Personality: He is the shadow part of Toma as stated by Fudou that has been separated from Touma's pure love.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He looks like a handsome man with long feather-like white hair.
• Love Makes You Evil: Mykage is the "Shadow of Love." His actions are motivated not by mere hatred, but by insane, jealous love. He tortures Kagura and Amata because he loves them... to death.
• Mercury's Wings: He sprouts wings from his head on occassion.
• Mind Rape: Pulls one off to Kagura, turning him into a brainwashed, Mikono-obsessed maniac completely at his control.
• Mystical White Hair: He's an angel-like being with long feather-like hair.
• Refuge in Audacity: Killing Jin in Episode 13 and then holding a eulogy for him come next Episode, although this could be seen as his way to further sway the rest of Altair into becoming his Unwitting Pawns.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Remained in a crystalline stasis until he wakes up at the end of Episode 4.
• Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: Doomed to forever reside in Zen's body without any semblance of control over him. Of course this is mitigated to the point of Karma Houdini considering being with Apollonius for all eternity is what he always truly wanted. He even describes being inside Fudou as being warm as he cries inside him.
• Sissy Villain: He's the main villain of the anime and is extremely effeminate-looking, having long hair, eyelashes, and lipstick.
• White Hair, Black Heart: He's the Big Bad of this anime and has long white hair.
• You Have Failed Me: Kills Jin in Episode 13 for daring to defy him and Kagura.

Other characters

Alicia

Voiced by: Rie Tanaka (Japanese), Stephanie Young (English)

A famous actress in Vega who played Sylvie's part in "Skies of Aquaria", a feature film based on events of the original Aquarion series 12,000 years before.

---

• Chekhov M.I.A.: She went missing some years before the start of the series. Turns out she has been held captive in Altair all along.
• Missing Mom: She is revealed to be Amata's mother, who abandoned him in order to go to Altair to help Izumo deal with the Curse of Eve.
• Together in Death: Towards the end of the series, Alicia and Izumo die. They go to the afterlife together after saying goodbye to their son.

Shu-Shu

Voiced by: Kiyono Yasuno (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)

Mikono's pet "cat".

---

• Black Bead Eyes: It has a pair of dots for eyes.
• Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": Shu-Shu is a small, white ball with two long bunny-like ears and whiskers. Its owner Mikono says Shu-Shu is a cat, but it doesn't look anything like one.
• Empathy Pet: Shu-Shu sometimes mimics Mikono's emotions, such as its ears forming a heart when Amata gives an over-the-top apology to Mikono.
• Head Pet: Shu-Shu likes to hide inside Mikono's hair bun. Its long ears sticking out also would make anyone think Mikono is wearing a ribbon at first.

Mr. Suzushiro

Voiced by: Joji Nakata (Japanese), R. Bruce Elliott (English)

Mikono's and Cayenne's father

---

• Invisible Parents: He never shows up in person. The audience only becomes aware of his existence through a letter.
• Parental Favoritism: After he finds out that Mikono is been enrolled in Neo DEAVA (18 episodes later, mind you), the response he writes in his letter to Cayenne is basically, "What the heck is she doing with Cayenne? She's useless after all."
• Unnamed Parent: His given name is never mentioned.

Sousei no Aquarion Love characters *SPOILERS*

Shin Tsukishima

Voiced by: Jun Fukushima (Japanese), Todd Haberkorn (English)

A 15-year-old boy living in Showa-era Japan.

---

• Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Being Jin's lookalike, Shin's hair covers the upper half of his face and he's very much an introvert who likes spending time alone.
• Identical Stranger: He bares a strong resemblance to Jin.
• Love at First Sight: He falls for Yuno the moment he meets her.

Yuno Kawazu

Voiced by: Yui Ogura (Japanese), Luci Christian (English)

A 16-year-old girl living in Showa-era Japan.

---

• Cute Bookworm: She has the Book of Holy Genesis, which she considers her Only Friend.
• Identical Stranger: She bares a strong resemblance to Yunoha.
• Older Than She Looks: She's actually older than Shin, but she looks like a preteen girl.
• Shrinking Violet: Just as shy as Yunoha.
• Tender Tears: Like Yunoha, Yuno is shy and sensitive, which shows in her crying scenes.

Apollo

Voiced by: Takuma Terashima (Japanese), Christopher Bevins (English)

The protagonist of Genesis of Aquarion.

As in the original series, he is the main pilot of Solar Aquarion.

---

• Let's You and Him Fight: He doesn't like Kagura's scent; the latter feels the same way. Both see this as a good reason to start an Aquarion showdown.

Silvia

Voiced by: Yumi Kakazu (Japanese), Brina Palencia (English)

The heroine of Genesis of Aquarion.

---

Reika

Voiced by: Sanae Kobayashi (Japanese), Colleen Clinkenbeard (English)

One of Apollo and Silvia's comrades from Genesis of Aquarion

---

• Unexpected Character: One would normally expect Sirius to complete the Genesis trio, but Love features Reika instead. This is the reason some think that, despite the promotional video advertising it as a crossover between both Aquarion TV series, these are actually the OVA versions of the characters, since there, Reika is the third pilot instead, since Sirius is dead there. Turns out it really is the TV version of the characters, though.

Gen Fudo

Voiced by: Unshō Ishizuka (Japanese), Brandon Potter (English)

The Mentor from Genesis of Aquarion, he seems to have transcended time and appears in the Showa-era
