    Keisuke and Haruka Harukaze 

Voiced by: Yuuta Mochizuki (Keisuke, Japanese), Yuka Saito (Haruka, Japanese), Dan Green (Keisuke, English), Bella Hudson (Haruka, English), Rafael Rivera (Keisuke, Latin-American Spanish), Dulce Maria Romay (Haruka, Latin-American Spanish), Francisco Andrés Valdivia (Keisuke, European Spanish), Rocío Azofra (European Spanish)

Doremi and Pop's middle-class parents. Keisuke is a writer for fishing publications who likes fly-fishing to the point where it gets on his wife's nerves. Haruka is an ex-Elegant Classical Musician-turned-homemaker who wishes for what's best for the family.


  • Babies Make Everything Better: After being forced to retire from being a pianist, only being pregnant with Doremi stopped Haruka from being Driven to Suicide.
  • Career-Ending Injury: Haruka suffered severe damage to her hand. This caused her to stop from being an Elegant Classical Musician.
  • Characterization Marches On: While initially presented as the one-dimensional responsible mom and bumbling dad cliche later episodes reveal more of Haruka's shortcomings and Keisuke's virtues as parents, creating a more balanced characterization for both.
  • Closer to Earth: Keisuke is kinda flighty when at home, so Haruka keeps him grounded. And that makes her a little grouchy, sometimes.
  • Good Parents: For all their flaws, they genuinely love their two girls and do their best to help them.
  • Stage Mom: Haruka toed the line briefly in the past, as she used to be an Elegant Classical Musician who lost her career due to an injury and tried to push little Doremi into a musical career. As Doremi had an Heroic BSoD in her first recital, Haruka realized that this could be dangerous and backed off; when Pop wanted to take up music as well, it took her quite a bit of effort to have Haruka approve of it.
  • Repetitive Name: Haruka Harukaze. One has to wonder if Haruka knew her name would be that repetitive after marrying Keisuke.
  • Running Gag: Keisuke wants to go fishing. Haruka catches him in the act and stops him. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Akira and Reiko Fujiwara 

Voiced by: Kenji Nomura (Akira, Japanese), Yui Maeda (Reiko, Japanese), Tom Wayland (Akira, English), Kerry Williams (Reiko, English), Marcos Patiño (Akira, Latin-American Spanish), Mayra Arellano (Reiko, Latin-American Spanish)

Hazuki's parents. Akira is a film director, Reiko is a fashion designer; since both of them are very well-known, the Fujiwara family is very well-off, but have trouble in their relationship with their little girl.


  • Generation Xerox: Surprisingly justified! Reiko's mother tended to make decisions for her, much to her frustration. However, when her mother directly exposed a promising young man as a plagiarist and indirectly as a Jerkass Gold Digger. It's no wonder she thinks she's doing Hazuki a favor by making her decisions for her, but it was thankfully subverted later on when she realized her mistakes.
  • Meal Ticket: Barely averted with Reiko. If it hadn't been for her own mother being a good judge of character, then she would have been taken advantage of, especially since the Gold Digger turned out to be a huge Faux Affable Jerkass.
  • My Beloved Smother: Hazuki's mother adores her dearly, but also micromanages her life in certain aspects without asking her daughter's opinion on the matter, thinking she understands her daughter perfectly. This does no favors to Hazuki's sense of self-esteem.
  • Parents as People: Both of them are good people and they dearly love Hazuki, but Akira is very much a Workaholic and the kinda child-like Reiko sometimes seems to treat Hazuki more as a cute doll or a pet than as a daughter.
  • Womanchild: Reiko. She has to rely on Baaya to do things around the mansion and is generally a bit less mature than a woman her age.

    Koyuki "Baaya" Ishikawa 

Voiced by: Yuko Saito (adult), Romi Park (child) (Japanese), Guadalupe Noel (Latin-American Spanish)

The Fujiwara family's housekeeper and nanny to Hazuki.


  • *Crack!* "Oh, My Back!": Justified for a time during series 1 due to a Bad Luck Charm.
  • Miniature Senior Citizens: She is about Hazuki's height, if not shorter.
  • Old Retainer: She worked for Reiko's birth family, and when Reiko married Akira she came to work for her new one. As such, she has been around from before Hazuki was born.
  • Put on a Bus: During Ojamajo Doremi 16/17, high debts caused Akira's studio to be shut down, causing the family to lose their home and Baaya to separate from them.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: In Na-i-sho, we find out that Baaya had a boyfriend and loved him very much. Since they lived in Imperial Japan, he left to enlist in the army and never came back home. Hazuki finds out that he actually died on duty.
  • Parental Substitute: For both Reiko and Hazuki.

    Kouji Senoo and Atsuko Okamura 

Voiced by: Kyousei Tsukui (Kouji, Japanese), Sean Schemmel (Kouji, English), Tomoko Hiratsuji (Atsuko, Japanese), Rolando de Castro (Kouji, Latin-American Spanish), Pepe Carabias (Kouji, European Spanish)

Aiko's parents, they're from Osaka. He's a taxi driver, she's a nurse that works in a retirement home. When they got divorced, Aiko went to live with Kouji in Tokyo. They get back together, but much later.


  • Arranged Marriage: In the first series, Kouji went to an omiai (arranged date) with Midori, the daughter of his boss. The girls tried to stop them, not because they disliked Midori but because Aiko didn't want/need a new mother — which was Kouji's reason to agree to the date...
  • Convenient Miscarriage: Played for drama, and rather surprising for a kids show. Something that partially led to their divorce was Atsuko having a miscarriage with what would have been their second child.
  • Divorce Is Temporary: Thanks to Aiko's actions and Kouji agreeing to help Atsuko take care of Aiko's Grandfather, this is played straight. It does take eight years though (four years before the series starts, and another four of Aiko trying to get them back together).
  • Parents as People: They love Aiko, but it wasn't enough to save their marriage. Aiko is deeply marked by Atsuko leaving the family and then Kouji taking her to Tokyo from Osaka, and longs for them to get back together.
  • Stay in the Kitchen: Kouji's attitude, to an extent. The reason him and Atsuko got a divorce is because Kouji didn't think women should work and raise children at the same time, and when he lives alone with Aiko he basically forces her to do all the chores.
  • Tears of Joy: When Atsuko receives a letter from Aiko on Mother's Day, she is reduced to tears knowing her daughter has long forgiven her.
  • Workaholic: Kouji to an extent. He does try to make school events for Aiko though.

    Tsuyoshi and Miho Segawa 

Voiced by: Mari Adachi (Miho, Japanese)

Onpu's parents. Miho is a former child star, and she's now Onpu's manager; Tsuyoshi is a train operator.


    Kenzou and Minori Asuka 

Voiced by: Hiroaki Hirata (Kenzou, Japanese), Fumiko Miyashita (Minori, Japanese), Diana Torres (Minori, European Spanish)

Momoko's parents; Kenzou is an architect who's had to move his family from Japan to New York and then back again due to work; Minori is a professional photographer.


  • Good Parents: What's notable about Momoko's parents is mostly that they seem to be the most normal and emotionally put-together of the girls' families; they don't squabble and are attentive to Momoko's needs, and when it seems like the family may have to move to the US again, Momoko's mom offers her daughter to stay with her grandmother in Japan should she choose not to follow them. And while the choice doesn't come easily, Momo decides to move back to New York to be with her parents.
  • Gratuitous English: Minori is... not quite as good at speaking English as Momoko.
    • This may double as Truth in Television given that Minori is of japanese birth and the only reason she moved to the US was because of her husband's job, meaning she may have only learned as much english as she needed to get by while Momoko actually grew up with the language.

    Miss Seki (Ms. Cooper) 

Voiced by: Nanaho Katsuragi (Japanese), Kate Roland (English), Mónica Manjarrez (Latin-American Spanish), Pepa Agudo (European Spanish)

Doremi's stern homeroom teacher.


  • Chucking Chalk: She throws chalk at her students whenever they're not paying attention, her constant target being Doremi. Hilariously, on two occasions when she's thrown the chalk in her direction, Aiko catches it instead.
  • Cool Teacher: When she's not being stern to her kids (usually class clowns like Doremi and the SOS trio), she treats them with a surprising amount of respect and emotional support, recognizing when kids like Masaru or Kayoko are facing deeper problems that other adults might be willing to brush off.
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Disappeared Dad: Her father passed away when she was young, and this actually came up as an issue when she was applying to be a teacher, when private school boards raised concerns on how being raised in a non-traditional single-parent household would affect her compatibility with students.
  • Hot Teacher: She has nice lips, long silky hair, and a killer figure. How come a woman as beautiful as she is had trouble finding suitors at first?!
  • Huge Schoolgirl: She comments in Motto's puberty episode that like Naomi, she was very tall as a girl.
  • Long-Distance Relationship: From episode 30 of Sharp she began to have this relationship with her new boyfriend. In Ojamajo Doremi 16 it is revealed that this relationship prospered and they ended up getting married.
  • Not So Above It All: As strict as she is, Seki-sensei does have a sense of humor such as laughing at Aiko's joke at the SOS Trio when they interrupted her introduction and snickered at Doremi and Tamaki's comedy act in Motto's student election assembly. She's not immune to petty jealousy either when she thinks Yuki-sensei is on a date.
  • Tears of Joy: Sheds them a few times, notably when Kayoko comes back to school full-time and when she witnesses her class graduating.

    Miss Yuki (Ms. Shannon) 

Voiced by: Yuka Imai (Japanese, series), Ai Orikasa (Japanese, Traful x Ojamajo Doremi web movie), Kayzie Rogers (English), Circe Luna (Latin-American Spanish), Diana Torres (European Spanish)

The soft-spoken and beautiful school nurse, and also Seki's best friend. Also happens to be the Queen of the Witch World in disguise.


  • Hospital Hottie: The nurse of the girls's school.
  • Not So Above It All: She's appalled when the Ojamajos ask her questions about Seki-sensei's boyfriend. Even funnier is during the episode's intro, she's offended that Seki-sensei didn't tell her about this.
    Yuki-sensei: *during the intro of Sharp's 30th episode* No way! I was never told of this! That traitor! Traitor!
    Yuki-sensei: *when the Ojamajos ask her about this* No way! Seki-sensei got a boyfriend? She never told me! She suddenly changed after summer vacation. I thought it was weird, but not telling me is unforgivable! We promised we would introduce our boyfriends if we ever made any. I will wring the truth from her!
  • School Nurse: Though she is more of a counselor than a nurse, she does play the role correctly by helping to manage the health exam and giving the 5th grade a basic sex ed lesson after hearing about Naomi's puberty worries.
  • Two Aliases, One Character: She and The High Queen are one in the same.

    Yuka Nishizawa 

Voiced by: Yuka Tokumitsu (Japanese), Marta Sáinz (European Spanish)


  • A Day in the Limelight/Took a Level in Badass: Had an episode of Motto focusing on her being a better teacher...or rather turning into a carbon copy of Seki-sensei, to the point where she mimicked Seki-sensei's killer chalk throw perfectly.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Developed a crush on a veterinarian. The girls tried to help her realize her crush by posing as puppies. Ultimately, he already had a girlfriend. She got over this and eventually got married shortly before Ojamajo Doremi 16.
  • Hot-Blooded: Uses these kinds of dramas to shape up as a teacher.
