Mari Land residents

My Melody (My Melo)

Voiced by: Rei Sakuma (Japanese), Andrea Kwan (English)

The titular character. My Melo for short. Exiled for "helping" Kuromi escape, she is tasked with preventing Kuromi from awakening the Dark Power. To this end, she is given the Melody Takt, a wand that can place marks on things that will help her fight Kuromi.

• All-Loving Hero: In typical Sanrio fare, she dearly loves her friends and holds no ill with enemies she encounters throughout the series. My Melody is also never shown being angry towards Kuromi and the show's main antagonists due to having a big heart (which extends to her friend Piano).
• Bunnies for Cuteness: Weaponizes her cuteness with her "please".
• Catchphrase:
  • "Onegai? (Please?)''", said Once per Episode with clasped hands and a head tilt.
  • "Yaaan!" is her signature scream.
  • "Ahh, the tea tastes so good."
  • "Aryama! (Oh my gosh!)", particularly during Kirara.
• Discard and Draw: Her "Melody Mark" changes each season, from "bring things to life or awaken unconscious Mari Landers" to "summon random ally" to "summon drawn ally". In Kirara, she doesn't even have the Takt.
• The Ditz: As a whole, she has trouble "reading the atmosphere", usually lacks any sense of urgency and gets distracted by more immediate tasks. A number of Kuromi's misfortunes comes from this.
• The Heart: She sees good in everyone, even Kuromi.
• In-Series Nickname: Her name is sometimes shortened by others to "My Melo."
• Expy: Little Red Riding Hood. In her backstory, she used to wear a red hood over her pink one and visit her grandma in the Black Forest. She was also friends with a big but not-so-bad wolf.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Light to Kuromi's dark.
• Limited Wardrobe: Only wears a pink hood. Her dresser has multiple hoods, sometimes accessorized differently.
• Magical Girl
• My Significance Sense Is Tingling: She can detect when Dream Doors are opened.
• Never Bareheaded: Her hood never comes off on-screen, except in silhouette.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: She means well, but the thousands of times she either embarrassed or attempted to help Kuromi drove her to delinquency, leading to today where she wants to destroy My Melo.
• Oblivious to Hatred: No matter how many times Kuromi spells it out, My Melody doesn't get that the other rabbit hates her, and still thinks of her as a friend. This drives Kuromi crazy.
  Uta: That girl's been holding a grudge against you, My Melo.
  My Melody: No, she hasn't. Kuromi-chan and My Melo are friends!
• Pink Means Feminine
• The Pollyanna: In fact, she's never seen angry.
• Tender Tears: In one episode of the anime, My Melody is seen crying when she's very worried about her human friends.
• Terrible Artist: She can't draw, which is required to summon people in Sukkiri. She's given the Melody Crayons to help her, and later starts practicing her drawing.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Kuromi's Tomboy.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Almond pound cake.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Years ago, she found a rock with a flower carved on it in the woods and thought it would make a good pickle-tub weight. It was also the seal keeping the Dark Power from terrorizing the world in the first place!
• Words Can Break My Bones: A simple "Please?" will empower anything she has marked to be able to win her battles.

Kuromi

Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi (Japanese), Aracely Arambula (Spanish), Emily Woo Zeller (English)

My Melody's rival, who despises her for thousands of reasons and wishes to use the Dark Power to crush her. To do this, she breaks out of jail and steals the Melody Key, which can grant the wishes of humans in her own nightmarish way, and collects the Black Notes of those who enjoy said nightmares.

• Achilles' Heel: Just like Goku as a kid, stepping on or pulling her tail will cause her to pass out.
• Borrowed Catchphrase: In one episode, she uses My Melody's "Onegai?" when apologizing to Baku for being mean and asking him to come home.
• Catchphrase: "Urusai!" ("Shuddup!"), usually accompanied by whacking Baku on the head.

• Dark Is Evil: Though she isn't really that evil.
• Discard and Draw: In canonical order, the Prototype Melody Key in Kirara transforms Baku. Then she traded it for the Keys in the first two seasons which open Dream Doors. Then in Sukkiri, the Dark Melody Key has the Prototype's powers.

• Expressive Accessory: The skull on her hood emotes with her.
• Eyelid Pull Taunt: Her common way of saying "Bye" to My Melody, complete with a "Beeeeeh!"
• Furry Ear Dissonance: Officially she's a rabbit, but unlike My Melody her ears are rhombuses (think Pichu from Pokémon), giving her hood a "jester cap" appearance.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: It doesn't take much to set her off.
• Hypocrite: She keeps a "Kuromi Note" with thousands of entries about all the ways (she feels) My Melody has wronged her, but is furious when she finds out Baku has a "Baku Note" about all the bad things she's done to him.
• Interspecies Romance:
  • Hopelessly in love with Keiichi Hiiragi. She fantasizes about him all the time and is willing to let the world be destroyed for him. It tears her up inside that he seemingly prefers Uta.
    Kuromi: Would it be so freakin' wrong for a human to fall in love with a stuffed animal?!
  • Before Hiiragi, she had a huge crush on Prince Sorara, a rather handsome alien.
• Lethal Chef: When she tries to bake an apology cake for Baku, not only does it come out burned to a crisp, but she accidentally puts miso paste in it instead of sugar.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Dark to My Melody's light.
• List of Transgressions: Kuromi has a long list written down in her "Kuromi Note" that details everything My Melody has ever done to make her angry. It has thousands of reasons.
• Lost Food Grievance: One of the many, many reasons she hates My Melody? On one occasion when they were eating lunch, Kuromi saved her favorite part of her meal, a pickled onion, for last, but My Melody thought she didn't want it and ate it.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Kuromi means "black beauty." She's a Narcissist who calls herself "Pretty li'l devil girl Kuromi-chan."
  • Kurumi Nui comes from "nuigurumi" (stuffed animal), a hint at her true self.
• Narcissist: Lampshaded by Baku.
  Kuromi: (after she takes Yamamoto's camera) Ah! I'm so adorable no matter what kind of face I'm making! (looking through the other photos) ...Oh my. All of these photos and you ain't showin' up in 'em anywhere. If I was you, I'd fill this camera up with pictures of myself!
  Baku: Kuromi-sama. You're the only one who'd be that much of a narcissist -zona.
• Never Bareheaded: She also never takes her hood off. However, as Kurumi Nui it becomes black hair with pigtails.
• Never My Fault: Some of the things she blames My Melody for are very silly, and were more her own doing. For example, when they went to a hot spring, My Melody told her to count to a thousand (she meant a hundred) before getting out so she would feel nice and warm, and Kuromi continued counting into the hundreds even as she got very dizzy from the heat. She blames My Melody for this even though she could have gotten out at any time.
• Paper Fan of Doom: Good for whacking Baku, which is why some people think they're a comedy duo. Baku even gives her a golden fan for her birthday.
• Shapeshifting Lover: Became "Kurumi Nui" to dance with and woo Keiichi. It would have worked, but he never actually learns they're the same person.
• Tastes Like Disdain: The current page image is her smashing a cupcake My Melody offered her.
• Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Often fantasizes about "Hiiragi-shama" (one even had her pregnant with his child) and "Ouji-chama" (Sorara).
• Tomboyish Voice: In Japan, her actor played Naruto, and her voice here is similarly raspy and boyish.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Tomboy to My Melody's Girly Girl.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Octopus dumplings and pickled onions.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Vague Age is in effect, but in the past she was just as friendly as My Melody.

Baku

Voiced by: Noboru Maeda

Full name: Bakuichiro. Kuromi's henchman, who is responsible for flying her places and holding the Black Notes.

• Anti-Villain: He has no ill will towards My Melody and sometimes tries to talk Kuromi out of using certain people. During Kirara, he just wants to feed his brothers.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: However shaky their relationship may get, Baku will always have Kuromi's back.
• Butt-Monkey: His life sucks, plain and simple.
  • He's the most likely to get hurt, often from Kuromi or Keiichi. Sometimes he literally gets his stuffing beat out of him. Not even being possessed by the Dark Power keeps them from hitting him.
  • Only he has to pay rent to live with Hiiragi, and even then his "room" is a doghouse.
  • Eventually the God of Eggplants suggests he strive to be the paragon of loserdom.

• Dream Stealer: He eats the black notes.
• Drunk on Milk: Too much tea makes him a blathering mess.

  • Oden. He's friends with the owner of a nearby stand.
  • During Kirara, he develops a craving for chicken...
• Undying Loyalty: Towards Kuromi.
• Verbal Tic: He ends all of his sentences with "-zona," and even has "zona" written on the back of his Baku Note. Unusual, as the rest of his family says "-ppe" instead. Later Justified: "-zona" is part of the dialect of his mother's Baku-village.
• Villains Out Shopping: He has a part-time job delivering the morning newspaper, and sometimes plays with the kids at the town kindergarten.

• Dark Is Evil: His goal is to destroy Mari Land.
• Demonic Possession: He has no body of his own and has to possess others.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Kuromi was too lazy to use his full name and started calling him "Dar-chan". It spreads.
• Evil Is Not a Toy: His existence as a character, let alone his real motives, weren't known until late in the first season.

• One-Winged Angel: Changes his host's body and makes it giant when he's at full power.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Around the time of the Ice Age, the ancient king of Mari Land buried him under an enchanted boulder. My Melody got help moving it because she thought it'd make a good pickle-tub weight for her grandmother.

• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: An incarnation of nightmares capable of destroying the world in an otherwise silly Monster of the Week show.

Voiced by: Kaori Miura

A friend of My Melo's. He's a blue mouse who starts living with Kogure and trying to get him with Uta.

• Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: He wears a yellow bow on his tail.
• Ascended Extra: Before the 2005 anime, Flat rarely made any appearances in animated works by Sanrio. His only notable appearance was a cameo in Hello Kitty's Animation Theater for the Little Red Riding Hood story starring My Melody. In the series, Flat becomes a supporting character and hangs out with Kogure.

My Sweet Piano / Hitsuji (Lamb)

Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi, Unknown Voice Actress (Spanish Dub)

A pink sheep and another friend of My Melody. She can't talk, but makes amazing poetry.

• A Dog Named "Dog": Originally was just "Lamb-san". Most of the animals of Mari Land are named this way, but Sanrio decided she was marketable and gave her the name Piano later.
• Breakout Character: After the series wrapped up in 2009, Piano quickly became popular and started getting more spotlight from Sanrio starting in The New '10s. She was very prominent during My Melody's 40th Anniversary, and even gained two specials looks to make her stand out more (notably a pink or red bow with white polka dots◊, and a simple pink bow◊) and became a meetable character at Puroland and Harmonyland. She even received her own dedicated exhibit at Hong Kong◊ in 2015 (during "Year Of The Sheep").
• Informed Obscenity: Whatever "Pu-kyuruuh" means, it makes people react with shock.
• Non-Dubbed Grunts: In the Italian, and Portuguese dubs of the anime. Piano's bleats are kept in, since she doesn't talk like the other characters. The exception is Spain, where she was given a different voice actress.
• Pink Means Feminine: The pinkest character in the show.
• Sweet Sheep: It's in her name! She's a very nice girl.
• Suddenly Speaking: While Piano can only communicate by bleating in the anime. In the web series Hello Kitty And Friends Supercute Adventures hosted on Sanrio's Official American Youtube Channel. She's able to speak normally instead of bleating as seen in the episode "Cinnamoroll's Dance Craze".
• Textile Work Is Feminine: She can knit with her own wool.
• The Unintelligible: She only bleats, but everyone understands her anyway. Outside the anime, Piano is able to talk normally such as Sanrio's now defunct MMORPG game Hello Kitty Online, and the Nintendo Wii game Hello Kitty Seasons.
• Your Size May Vary: In the anime, Piano's height is very inconsistent depending on the scene and episode. She's either much smaller than My Melody (sometimes sharing the same height as Flat) or the same height as My Melody (as seen in official merchandise pre and post Onegai My Melody).

Harinezumi-kun (Hedgehog)

Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro

The Narrator of the show.

• Character Narrator: Played With. He's just a background extra outside of his narrating role. During Kirara, Berry and Cherry from Lloromannic replace him as narrators and he gets to have A Day in the Limelight.
• Easy Amnesia: The king tasks him with "rolling back" the memories of bystanders, undoing any potential damage. He stops after it begins failing on the citizens of Yumegaoka by the end of Kuru Kuru Shuffle.
• Interactive Narrator:
  • Kuromi shuts him in her diary mid-flashback.
  • The Dark Power attacks him when he tries to interfere, forcing him out of commission until the end.
  • Similarly, in season 2, Dar-chan gives him Dorian (his host body)'s cold, preventing him from intervening.
• Slept Through the Apocalypse: After the Dark Power knocks him out, he only wakes up when it's over.
• Stubborn Hair: His spines can't be cut even with diamond-edged scissors or curled no matter how much force is applied.

King Elephant LV^* the 55th / Mr. Zou

Voiced by: Hidenobu Kiuchi.

The king of Mari Land, a rather unserious elephant.

• Aliens Steal Cable: He watches human-world TV.
• Ascended Extra: In Sukkiri. After losing his title, "Mr. Zou" starts living with Kuromi and Baku and gets to appear more often.
• Benevolent Mage Ruler: He knows some of the most powerful magic in Mari Land.
• The Ditz: My Melo describes him as "unserious". It's worse than that: he's rash, forgetful, and prone to silly edicts ("On this day, eating anything but takoyaki is a no-no."). By Sukkiri, it costs him the throne, and he has to live in the human world to learn to better himself.
• Impoverished Patrician: In Sukkiri, he loses his throne and has to crash with Kuromi and Baku in the run-down "Maison de Underdog".
• King Incognito: In Kirara, he'll sometimes sneak out of the castle wearing a coat, sunglasses, and a mustache. He calls himself "the playful Mr. Zou."
• Royally Screwed Up: Implied. An ancient king of Mari Land was a similarly silly woolly mammoth.

Queen Rumi

Voiced by: Yuu Sugimoto

The queen of Mari Land. A wise elephant, if not a bit jealous.

• Benevolent Mage Ruler: She also knows magic.
• Elective Monarchy: After the king was taken off the throne, she was voted in by the people to be the 56th reigning queen. It was a landslide victory, with several times more votes than the next best (My Melo).
• Former Teen Rebel: Before she was queen, Rumi led her own biker gang, the Black Glasses.
• The High Queen: Much more adored than her husband.
• Shock and Awe: Her preferred way of silencing her husband, especially when he's hitting on some woman, is to strike him with bolt from a summoned thundercloud.
• Only Sane Woman: She's much smarter than the king too. It was her who suggested making My Melody the next princess.

Prince Sorara

Voiced by: Kōki Miyata

The 13-year-old prince of Negaiboshi Land, far away in space, who crashes his Wishing Star in Mari Land. With the star destroyed, he loses his power and is turned into a large baby chicken.

• Accidental Misnaming: Nobody ever calls him Sorara. His most common name is "Sorapi", after My Melody kept interrupting his introduction at school. My Melody herself uses "Piyo-chan" and Kuromi calls him "Ouji-chama" (Ouji meaning prince).
• Adipose Rex: As a chicken. Most people on the show prefer the term metabo (overweight).
• Entitled Bastard: Given his royal upbringing, he tends to overstep his boundaries and cause trouble, but still depends on everyone else's help. Unless he can reassemble his Wishing Star, he and Kirara can't go home.
• Eyes Always Shut: As a chick.
• Forced Transformation: He's stuck as a baby chick for most of the series, only changing back briefly when he eats a star fragment.
• Human Aliens: He and the other people of Negaiboshi Land.
• Intergenerational Friendship: With Bakujuuichirou, who is much younger than him.

• Narcissist: He often introduces himself as "the universe's #1 Bishōnen," even as a chicken.
• Pretty Boy: His true form is very handsome, and he knows it.
  "I'm the universe's #1 Bishonen."
• Prince Charmless: He's handsome and loved by women around the universe, including Kuromi, but really he's just a cowardly, self-absorbed jerk.
• Sensor Character: When a star fragment is near, the star-shaped feathers on his head point up.
• Verbal Tic: Chick!Sorara says "-piyo," leading to My Melo's name for him (Piyo-chan).
• Wish Upon a Shooting Star: His original job is to create the stars that people wish on. His extended leave means no wishing stars are being made. Without anyone making wishes, Mari Land is dying.

Humans

Uta Yumeno

Voiced by: Azusa Kataoka (Japanese), Alexandra Levitch (English)

The co-protagonist of the series, she bonds with My Melody and aids her in saving the world.

• Brown Note: Though, it's likely due to that her violin was possessed at the time.
• Dating Catwoman: She loves Keiichi and has gone on dates with him. In her defense, he's very careful at making sure his role as the villain stays secret.

Keiichi Hiiragi

Voiced by: Ryōtarō Okiayu

A violin prodigy and Uta's and Kuromi's love interest. He claims the Melody Bow and helps Kuromi gather the Black Notes. In Kuru Kuru Shuffle, he assumes the guise of "Usamimi-kamen (Bunny-Ears Mask)" to help My Melody.

• The Ace: Musical talent, martial arts, good looks. As Bunny-Ears Mask, he's My Melody's strongest ally.
• Aloof Big Brother: Towards Jun.
• The Atoner: Completely averted. After the Dark Power incident, he was perfectly willing to walk away as if nothing happened. In Shuffle, he is forced to atone for his crimes by being a superhero at My Melody's potential call or else turn into a Baku.
• The Comically Serious: If he gets caught in the crossfire of nightmare magic without being directly affected.
  (while a group of Chibi-Melos is climbing him and his violin) There aren't any straightforward dreams lately.
• Cannot Dream: He threw away his dreams long ago, so his dreamscape is desolate and foggy.
  • Uta tries to find him a new dream in Shuffle.

• Evil Costume Switch: After he meets the Dark Power face-to-face, he starts wearing all black. He changes back in later seasons.
• Got Volunteered: HATES being Bunny-Ears Mask, and thus is extremely unenthusiastic about being summoned. But if he doesn't do it, he'll become a Baku.
• Hunk:
  • His handsomeness is part of why he's so popular with the ladies.
  • Bunny-Ears Mask's "Ikemen/Hunkalicious Beam" is this weaponized. He's so handsome that when he removes his mask, the light he emits hurts.
• Like Brother and Sister:
  • Ultimately sees Uta as "like a little sister". She doesn't take it well.
  • It gets even more tragic. By the end of Shuffle, he finally falls for Uta, who now likes Kakeru instead and has accepted her "little sister" role.
• Magic Music: Playing a violin with the Melody Bow empowers Kuromi's Melody Key. Later, the Melody Violin is required to awaken the Dark Power.

• Shirtless Scene: The opening of the Dream Door is accompanied by him playing violin with no shirt on.
• Unwanted Harem: He has his own fan club at his high school and millions more fangirls around the world. Every Valentine's Day he receives way too much chocolate and throws it all away. He doesn't even seem to like Kuromi's passes.

Juuzou Shiroyama

Voiced by: Hiroshi Shimozaki

• Verbal Tic: Ends all of his sentences with "~na" or "~da na".

Kanade Yumeno

Uta's older sister who is in high school.

• Bratty Teenage Daughter: Tends to come off this way at times.
• Deadpan Snarker: Emphasis on snarker. She's got a lot of sass, especially for her family and the boys in her class.
• Death Glare: Gives this to Uta and Koto when they've done something irresponsible.

Jun Hiiragi
