This page covers various minor recurring and one-shot characters of Sailor Moon.


    open/close all folders 

    In General 
  • Adapted Out: Almost all of them are absent from the musicals, and several of them don't appear in the live-action either.
  • Back from the Dead: This apparently happens to everyone in the Milky Way Galaxy after Galaxia is finally defeated and all of the Star Seeds that were taken are gradually returned to their rightful owners, although we don't actually get to see them afterwards.
  • Cast Herd: The series consistently focuses on the Sailor Guardians, but there are a few different main groups of civilians who rotate the role of an episode's supporting cast, and it's rare for civilians from different groups to even speak to each other.
  • Damsel in Distress: So many of them end up as the victim of the week on at least one occasion. Many one-shot characters were created just for this purpose.
  • Distressed Dude: Male characters needed rescuing as often as female ones did.
  • Dub Name Change: Most characters have their names changed in the original English releases. Mostly averted for re-releases.
  • Forgotten Fallen Friend: None of the Sailor Guardians mourn their other friends when everyone on Earth gets their Star Seeds taken. Granted, they're busy with their enemy, and everyone does get better after Galaxia is defeated and the Star Seeds are returned, but even Usagi doesn't shed a single tear before that.
  • Heroic Bystander: There are several instances where a civilian chooses to stand up to enemy attacks instead of doing nothing.
  • Innocent Bystander: Even when they're not the intended victim, they tend to get caught up in things just by being in the area.
  • Muggles: Most of these characters are non-superpowered acquaintances of the Sailor Guardians.
  • Selective Obliviousness: With everything that goes on involving the girls and the enemy attacks, you would think that at least some of them could put the pieces together and figure out the Sailor Guardians' identities without help.
  • Unwitting Muggle Friend: Almost all of them have no idea that the people in their lives are the Sailor Guardians and Tuxedo Mask. A few of them become Secret Keepers, though.

Recurring civilians

    In General 
  • Ascended Extra: Several have a larger role in first season of the '90s anime and/or in the live-action than in the manga.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: By the final season, you hardly even see any recurring civilians.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Many of them get one or more episodes in '90s anime series where they play a major role.
  • Demoted to Extra: Even though the civilian cast get a larger role in the '90s anime, their roles are diminished after the first season as the series focuses more and more on the Sailor Guardians.
  • Designated Victim: It's amazing how often the villains' target happens to be someone the Sailor Guardians know. Some are victimized more than others, though.
  • Muggles: They're all normal humans, unless you count Reika turning into the Monster of the Week in The '90s anime only.
  • Out of Focus: When the Black Moon Clan arc starts, they get used less and less as the Sailor Guardians grow in number and get more focus. It's more noticeable in the original anime where they were used a lot more for early filler episodes. In the manga, they were never really in focus to begin with.
  • Recurring Character: They all appear a number of times in at least one version of the series.note 
  • Satellite Character: Just about all of them play this role to the Sailor Guardians in at least one continuity, though Adaptation Expansion manages to expand many of them beyond this.

The Furuhatas

    In General 
  • Dub Name Change: The original English dub of the original anime names them Andrew and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Hansford, although the surname Foreman has also been used in the Mixx novelizations.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Unazuki is the foolish to Motoki's responsible, at least when it comes to school work. They both do their jobs responsibly, though.
  • Invisible Parents: Their parents own the Crown, but we never see them or even learn anything about them other than that they exist.
  • Local Hangout: The Furuhata family business of the Game Center Crown/Crown Fruits Parlor serves this role, and much of the Furuhatas' role revolves around this fact.
  • Sibling Team: A brother and sister who run the Crown together.
  • Video Arcade: Their family business. It's changed to a karaoke parlor in the live-action, but the arcade remains in Crystal, since arcades were still a common sight in Japan at the time of Crystal's release.

    Motoki Furuhata 

Motoki Furuhata (Andrew)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/motoki00.jpg
Click to see him in the 90s anime 
Voiced by: Hiroyuki Satou (original series), Hiroshi Okamoto (Crystal) (JP), Colin O'Meara (DiC), Steven Bednarski (Cloverway), Lucien Dodge (Viz) (EN) Foreign VAs 
Portrayed in PGSM by: Masaya Kikawada

A university student whose family owns an arcade called the Game Center Crown where he works part-time. The Sailor Guardians are among his most loyal customers, and some of them have crushes on him, although he acts more like a surrogate older brother to them. In some versions, he's the closest male friend Mamoru has in his current life. Despite his apparent importance to the girls' everyday lives, he's rarely if ever caught up in the enemy attacks.


  • Adaptational Job Change: The materials Collection reveals that he's in the literature department at university. His major isn't discussed in most adaptations, but in the DiC dub, he once said that he wants to be a doctor.
  • Betty and Veronica: The Betty to Mamoru's Veronica during the first anime season, with Motoki being the sweet boy-next-door type and Mamoru the alluring, mysterious Tall, Dark, and Snarky guy. Mamoru wins.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Motoki often defends Usagi when Mamoru makes fun of her.
  • Big Brother Mentor: To Usagi. When she's having a problem, she turns to him for advice (such as what to do about Naru falling in love with the enemy).
  • "Blind Idiot" Translation: In the recently re-released manga, Motoki's nickname is translated as 'bro'. This gets incredibly awkward later on, when Makoto refers to him as 'the bro at the Game Center.' Uhh....
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: The ghost bride brainwashes him and forces him to do her bidding in Act 5 of the manga and Crystal.
  • Chick Magnet: Catches the affections of several girls including some of the Sailor Guardians, though he's generally oblivious to their crushes and is too devoted to his girlfriend to care.
  • Chubby Chaser: Somewhat. In the anime he told Usagi he found chubby girls cute. She saw this as an excuse to stop dieting and go back to her regular eating habits, until Luna clarified that he said "chubby", not "fat".
  • Composite Character: The live-action version of him appears to be a combination of Umino and the manga version of himself.
  • Connected All Along: In the 90s anime, Usagi didn't even suspect that he and Mamoru knew each other until the episode where the three characters have a chance meeting.
  • Covert Pervert: Mostly, he's a Nice Guy who treats the girls like younger sisters, overlooks their crushes, and is devoted to his girlfriend. Nevertheless, he remarks in his thoughts how sexy Usagi's friends are.
  • Establishing Character Moment: When we meet him in the second episode. He runs his family's arcade, lets Usagi play the new Sailor V game first, and gives her tips on how to play while offering a quarter for the machine. It's no wonder Usagi is smitten with him.
  • The Generic Guy: Even for a minor character, he gets hardly any Character Development and few distinct personality traits. Other than his job, being the object of the girls' affections and just being a Nice Guy, there isn't much to say about him. The live-action changes this a bit by merging his character with Umino's and fleshing him out some more.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: In Crystal, while possessed by an enemy, the pupils of his eyes glow red.
  • Innocently Insensitive: He's always a Nice Guy, but he can be insensitive about Usagi and Makoto's crushes on him, such as calling them just kids, because he doesn't notice their feelings.
  • In-Series Nickname: In the manga and Crystal, people call him Furu-chan at his university.
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side: A Nice Guy who regularly wears an apron, looks like a Bishōnen, serves food and advice to his customers, and in the live-action he's an obsessive pet owner and is the one who catches the bouquet at a wedding.
  • I Will Wait for You: When Reika decides to go to study in Africa, he decides to wait for her for as long as she is gone. The second time she leaves for ten years and he is still willing to wait.
  • Keet: The live-action portrays him this way. His best friend in the world is a pet turtle named Kamekichi, he always smiles, and he doesn't quite know the meaning of subtlety.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: Motoki sees Luna wandering around and starts to stroke her, much to her delight. He then asks if she would like some milk and goes inside to get some. Luna mentions that she can see why Usagi likes him.
  • Like Brother and Sister: Despite Makoto and Usagi's crushes on him, it is established that they are only younger sisters to him (except in the live-action, where Makoto is his love interest). Usagi becomes happy with this after she and Mamoru get together.
  • Long-Distance Relationship: With Reika. Even when she leaves Japan twice, Motoki promises to wait for her.
  • Men Can't Keep House: His apartment is in a terrible state, and he admits that he never cleans it. Luckily, Makoto is highly skilled at speed-cleaning.
  • Mind-Control Eyes: You can tell he's being controlled in Act 5 of Crystal just by his glowing pupils.
  • Muggle Best Friend: In the live-action to Mamoru, as well as being Makoto's Muggle Love Interest.
  • Nice Guy: Easily one of the most decent and caring characters in the series. If someone he knows, like Usagi, has a problem, he's often the first to lend an ear and be supportive.
  • Non-Action Guy: Even by civilian standards. At least Umino, Kenji, Shingo, Yuuichirou and Rei's grandfather all have their moments of Badass Normal or Heroic Bystander, but he never involves himself in the action of enemy attacks at all.
  • Official Couple: With Reika in the anime and manga, or with Makoto in the live-action.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Live-action only; he's quite mature and serious in all other versions.
  • Pretty Boy: Like many other guys in the series, he is one of these, resulting in several young women having crushes on him.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: When the ghost bride takes control of him, his eyes are still mostly their normal color, but the pupils have turned a menacing bright red.
  • Romantic False Lead: Usagi had a crush on him before she got together with Mamoru. In the anime, she even fantasizes about the possibility of Motoki being Tuxedo Mask's identity.
  • Satellite Character: Despite being one of the most frequently-seen civilians, he doesn't seem to get much character development beyond his relationships with his friends. Unlike his sister and girlfriend, he is never even targeted by the enemy.
  • Second Episode Introduction: Although he appears in the very first manga chapter of Sailor Moon, in the '90s anime, he makes his debut in the second episode.
  • Secret-Keeper: He learns the secret identities of the Sailor Guardians in the first arc of the manga but promises not to tell anyone. He also learns Makoto's identity in the live-action. Averted in the anime.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Mamoru's Manly Man.
  • Threesome Subtext: In the first season, when Usagi briefly fantasizes about herself, Motoki, and Tuxedo Mask when she has a crush on both.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Never got one in supplementary material, but in an episode of the first anime, he says his favorite food is hayashi rice.
  • Trash of the Titans: His apartment in The '90s anime is a terrible mess.
  • Two Guys and a Girl: With Reika and Setsuna in the manga. All three become good friends when they attend university together.
  • Umbrella of Togetherness: In episode 29 of The '90s anime, Motoki offers an umbrella to Makoto, resulting in her developing a severe crush on him.
  • Victim of the Week: In Act 5 of the manga and its Crystal adaptation, he gets targeted by the ghost bride. Oddly, though, not one enemy targeted him in the '90s anime even though he appears a lot more than his girlfriend and sister, both of whom have been targets.

    Unazuki Furuhata 

Unazuki Furuhata (Elizabeth)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unazuki_4588.gif
Voiced by: Miyako Endou and Eriko Hara (JP), Sabrina Grdevich (DiC), Catherine Disher (Cloverway), Veronica Taylor (Viz) (EN) Foreign VAs 

Motoki's younger sister. Almost as cheerful and bubbly as Usagi herself, she works as a waitress at the Fruits Parlor Crown, which is the other half of the girls' hangout and the Furuhatas' family business. She goes to the same school as Rei school and is about a year older than the Inners.


  • Ascended Extra: Slightly in the fourth season of The '90s anime where she appeared the most often, unlike other civilians who appeared less often later in the series.
  • Ambiguously Bi: She claims to have a boyfriend (although we never actually see him), but after her Pure Heart Crystal is taken, she tries to give her First Kiss (which she had been saving) to Makoto.
  • Book Dumb: In the Materials collection, it is revealed that her grades are below average and she does not like to study.
  • Cool Big Sis: To Usagi. She's about a year older, making her around Haruka and Michiru's age, and Usagi likes her and seems to think she's pretty cool.
  • Damsel in Distress: Gets targeted twice by the enemy: once when the Death Busters extracted her Pure Heart Crystal, and once when Tiger's Eye goes after her Dream Mirror.
  • A Day in the Limelight: She gets one in the third season of the anime where the Death Busters target her for her Pure Heart Crystal, and then another the following season where Tiger's Eye goes after her Dream Mirror.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Look carefully in the third episode of Crystal. You can see her and Reika standing in the background.
  • Fiery Redhead: Like with Naru, it's usually averted, but again like with Naru, she has moments of this.
  • First Kiss: Her A Day in the Limelight episode, in the S series, was centered on how she and her boyfriend had not even kissed...
  • Genki Girl: She's very cheerful and light on her feet.
  • The Ghost: Her boyfriend. She mentions him several times, but we never see him or even learn his name.
  • In-Series Nickname: Original English dubs only. Her name is Elizabeth, but she's also been called Lizzie for short.
  • Mistaken for Cheating: Subverted in R. Mamoru once gave her a ride in his motorbike because she was late to a date with her boyfriend; Usagi saw them and thought Unazuki was his new girlfriend. Since those were his "It's Not You, It's Me" days, he tried to use it to his advantage so Usagi would get over him. It backfired. Horribly.
  • Muggle Best Friend: Sometimes played this role to the Sailor Guardians during the fourth season when several other muggle friends only appear once or twice.
  • Nice Girl: She's a very sweet, kind and friendly person pretty much all the time.
  • Noodle Incident: The first episode of SuperS features Chibi-Usa giving a surprisingly deep answer in regard to Unazuki's worries about her relationship. Unazuki is freaked out while Usagi bluntly asks if she's been reading her mom's "mature novels" without permission again.
  • Relative Error: Subverted in her first appearance. Seeing Mamoru give her a ride on his motorcycle, Usagi asks hopefully and jealously if she is Mamoru's relative. She's not. She's actually Motoki's sister, but the end result works out the same way, as Unazuki assures Usagi that she's not Mamoru's girlfriend.
  • Remember the New Guy?: She's Motoki's little sister who works at her family's business where the Sailor Guardians hang out, yet she was never seen or alluded to in the first season, and Usagi inexplicably does not know who Unazuki is in her debut episode.
  • Sixth Ranger: Of the civilian cast. She is introduced during the Black Moon arc.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: She always wears her hair up in a ponytail with two sidetails left hanging loose.
  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She's a Genki Girl with a tomboyish hairstyle, but works as a waitress and is a romantic dreamer. Her wardrobe ranges from pretty dresses to Shorttank outfits.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In episode 134, Luna speaks in front of her. Despite the fact that she's not in the know, she doesn't seem to show any reaction to something as odd as a talking cat.

Others

    Mayumi Osaka 

Mayumi Osaka (Susan Baker)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whatareyoudoing.jpg
Voiced by: Michiko Abe (original series), Sanae Kobayashi (Crystal) (JP), Maria Vacratsis (DiC), Wendee Lee (Viz) (EN)
Portrayed in PGSM by: Noriko Watanabe

Naru's mother who owns and operates a jewelry shop called Jewelry OSA-P. In all versions of the series, she is the victim of the first enemy attack, where a Youma captures and impersonates her, leaving her tied up. Only appears in the first installment most versions, though in the '90s anime, she shows up a few more times.


  • Advertised Extra: Since Crystal is based so closely on the original manga, she only appears in the first episode. However, she was featured right alongside the main and recurring characters from the first arc in the Sailor Moon Crystal Official First Visual Book, a compiled collection of promotional art for Crystal, because she was around since the start of the series.
  • Ascended Extra: Very slightly in The '90s anime when she makes a couple of other appearances, and even returns for Sailor Moon: Another Story. In the manga, she is limited to the first act.
  • Bound and Gagged: In the basement, she is tied up this way while a youma impersonates her.
  • Capture and Replicate: In the manga and both anime series, the youma Morga captures and impersonates Mrs. Osaka.
  • Demonic Possession: The live-action changes her role a bit. The episode's youma possesses her in the first episode instead of impersonating her.
  • Dub-Induced Plot Hole: She is alive after the first attack in all versions, but the first English anime dub omits explaining where she is.
  • Dub Name Change: The original English dub of the original anime names her Susan Baker. This was originally Named by the Adaptation until she got an official Japanese name in the live-action.
  • Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: She owns a jewelry store which has a big part in the first attack.
  • Fiery Redhead: She seems to fit this trope better than her daughter does, as she has a bit more of a temper than her.
  • Named by the Adaptation: She originally went unnamed. The Di C dub gave her the name of Susan, while the live-action series finally named her Mayumi. She's unnamed in the rest of the franchise.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Naru inherited a lot of her features, such as her hair and eye colors, from her mother.
  • Unnamed Parent: In every continuity except for the live-action.
  • Weirdness Magnet: Apparently shares this trait with her daughter. It's only made apparent in the first anime, though, because that's the only series where she even appears in more than one episode.

    Reika Nishimura 

Reika Nishimura (Rita Blake)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reika00.jpg
Voiced by: Rika Fukami (original series), Mai Nakahara (Crystal) (JP), Wendy Lyon (season 1 first appearance), Katherine Trowell (season 1 second appearance) (DiC), Daniela Olivieri (Cloverway), Erica Mendez (Viz) (EN) Foreign VAs 

Motoki's girlfriend, a gifted science student. The Sailor Guardians admire her but don't always like her because they have crushes on her boyfriend. She becomes friends with Setsuna when they attend college together. In the original anime, she's the reincarnation of Rikoikeidar, one of the Seven Great Youma.


  • Adaptational Job Change: What Reika is studying in school (so she can have that job later) changed from mineralogy in the manga to archaeology in the anime (though it resembles paleontology more when we see her in episode 41). Also, what college she's attending changes from K.O. University like Motoki to Azabu Technical College.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: In The '90s anime, Reika is a brunette. In the materials collection, she has strawberry pink hair, but in further colored manga artwork, she's blonde.
  • Adaptation Origin Connection: Due to her being the reincarnation of one of the Seven Great Youma, she's connected to the Silver Millennium and the Dark Kingdom in the first anime.
  • Adapted Out: Does not appear in the live-action.
  • Adventurer Archaeologist: Her work, in the anime. This is why she went to Africa to do field work as a university student.
  • All Girls Like Ponies: In her final anime appearance, she is revealed to enjoy horseback riding and briefly bonds with Chibi-Usa over a fondness for horses.
  • Art Shift: In The '90s anime, her eyes had a distinctively different appearance from the rest of the cast. That changed when she returned in season four.
  • Brainy Brunette: She's very intelligent and studies science at university, but only in the original anime does she have brown hair.
  • Cool Big Sis: The Inner Guardians look up to her and admire her, despite their crushes on her boyfriend.
  • Dub Name Change: The original English dub of the original anime names her Rita Blake.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Look carefully in the third episode of Crystal. You can see her and Unazuki standing in the background.
  • Enemy Within: Rikoukeidar, one of the Seven Great Youma.
  • Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: In the manga, Reika was really into gemstones, as she studies mineralogy at KO University. While she doesn't drape herself in jewels, she does wear rather stylish earrings and necklaces tastefully. A caption refers to her as a "high maintenance $6900 Versace queen."
  • Horse Jump: Spends much of her final anime appearance trying to pull this off on her horse before finally doing it at the end of the episode.
  • Living MacGuffin: In the original anime only. She turns out to be Rikoukeidar, one of the Seven Great Youma, and the carrier of the Blue Rainbow Crystal.
  • Long-Distance Relationship: With Motoki. Even when she leaves Japan twice, Motoki promises to wait for her.
  • Muggle Best Friend: To Setsuna, after they begin attending the same university.
  • Official Couple: With Motoki. Except in the live-action, where it's not certain she even exists.
  • Pink Means Feminine: Both the manga and Crystal depict her as wearing a lot of pink.
  • Put on a Bus: She leaves Tokyo twice in the original anime to pursue her studies, although she and Motoki stay a couple.
  • Reincarnation: The reincarnation of one of the Seven Great Youma.
  • Sudden Name Change: Reika was initially named "Rita Blake" in her first dub appearance, but had her original name retained in the dub of SuperS.
  • Two Guys and a Girl: With Motoki and Setsuna in the manga. All three become good friends when they attend university together.
  • Two Girls to a Team: One of only two female members of the Seven Great Youma.

    Yuuichirou Kumada 

Yuuichirou Kumada (Chad)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diamondintherough.png
Voiced by: Bin Shimada (JP), Steven Bednarski (DiC), Jason Barr (Cloverway), Wally Wingert (Viz) (EN) Foreign VAs 

A rugged and hunky guy who comes to work at the Hikawa Shrine as Rei's grandfather's apprentice. Secretly from a rich family, he has a crush on Rei whose feelings for him are complicated; sometimes she seems to share the affection and can't admit it, while at other times, she treats him like a Dogged Nice Guy. Despite this, he's devoted to her whether their relationship is romantic or not. Only appears in the original anime, but unlike most Canon Foreigners, he continues to appear in later seasons.


  • Accent Adaptation: DiC gave him a surfer-dude accent and Cloverway made him sound more American.
  • Badass Normal: One of the most badass normals in the series, due to him being so physically fit. In his case, it goes beyond just facing enemy attacks. Even most top athletes can't ski jump off a cliff and stop right where they land perfectly on their own two feet unharmed.
  • Badass Preacher: Well, badass preacher-in-training, but close enough. He's training to be a Shinto priest, and he gets several moments of being a Badass Normal.
  • The Big Guy: He is easily one of the most muscular and physical characters.
  • Big Guy, Little Guy: The big to Rei's grandfather's little. One's a Miniature Senior Citizen, and the other's a tall, muscular Hunk.
  • Butt-Monkey: Rei treats him this way at times by pushing him around and taking his feelings for granted, and he often klutzes out when he's working around her.
  • Canon Foreigner: Created specifically for The '90s anime.
  • Chick Magnet: When Rei's grandfather decides to start an aerobics class at the shrine, Yuuichirou is such a hunk that he has no problem attracting young girls to join. If he wasn't so hung up on Rei, he could probably have any girl he wanted.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: At his worst, he can act like one towards anyone who tries to swoon his princess.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He may be a Butt-Monkey who's not the most sensible or serious guy around, but when the shrine or Rei is in danger, watch out.
  • A Day in the Limelight: While he's mostly an assistant and foil to Rei's grandfather, he does get the focus a couple of times:
    • Episode 38 reveals that his family is rich and owns a mountain lodge, and when he brings the girls to visit it, he gets to show off his heroics and awesome skiing skills, even trying to protect the girls from the enemy.
    • In episode 99, he mistakes Haruka for a man and Rei's boyfriend. Though heartbroken, he tries to defend her honor when he thinks Haruka is cheating on her.
  • Demoted to Extra: Mainly after Sailor Moon S. Like so many other civilians, he appears less as the series progresses.
  • Distressed Dude: In one episode of S, he's the victim who gets his Pure Heart Crystal pulled out.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: Has been in love with Rei for quite some time, but though she cares for him, she treats him like a Butt-Monkey. Doesn't discourage him from trying, though.
  • Dub Name Change: The original English dub of the original anime names him Chad Holdenford.
  • Fearless Fool: He's brave, all right, but this leads him to do things a sensible person wouldn't even consider, like trying to defend Rei's honor without getting the facts first or jumping in front of a giant runaway snowball in an attempt to stop it.
  • Harmless Freezing: In episode 38, when the ice-themed youma tries to send a freezing blast at Rei, he steps into the path of the blast, getting frozen stiff. He's fine afterwards.
  • Heroic Bystander: When Rei is attacked, he steps forward to defend her despite having no powers of his own.
  • Hidden Eyes: His long, unkempt bangs cover his eyes most of the time, though there is a moment or three where we see the eyes in plain view.
  • Hopeless Suitor: He looks and acts like one - but he does cares for Rei selflessly, despite knowing she's not likely to be into him the way he wants, and so he protects her because that's his choice. He leaves it very clear to Kooan when she belittles him.
  • House Husband: Not a literal one (though he'd like to be), but he acts like one to Rei by taking care of most the domestic work like cleaning after he moves into the shrine, leaving her free to handle her Sailor duties.
  • Human Shield: Any time Rei is under attack, he tries to act like one to her. At one point, he even says he doesn't mind dying if it means he saves Rei.
  • Hunk: In the aforementioned aerobics class episode, his workout clothes reveal him to be very muscular and ruggedly handsome, unlike most male characters in the series who are more Bishōnen.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Rei may be the one he pines for, but he seems willing to accept that she may not want him. As long as she's happy, it's good enough for him; that's how much he cares.
  • The Klutz: Zig-zagged. He does have several moments of clumsiness while working at the shrine or hanging around Rei, but at other times, he can be pretty graceful, like when he shows off his athletic skills. Possibly justified, since his love for Rei seems to make him klutz out.
  • Lovable Jock: A nice, friendly teenager who spends his downtime skiing or working out in a gym.
  • Miko: Or rather, a male version rarely seen in anime, known as a "geki".
  • Mistaken for Cheating: After seeing Rei with Haruka, whom he like so many others mistook for a man, he jumped to the conclusion that the two were dating.
  • Nice Guy: Most of the times when he's not is when he's trying to protect his friends.
  • Non-Idle Rich: Comes from a wealthy background but keeps steady employment, usually in jobs that are "beneath" him.
  • Perma-Stubble: Complete with bangs. The scruffy appearance is possibly to hide his identity of being a rich kid so that he can step out of that shadow.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Often delivers a lot of the humor in the show due to his goofiness, occasional klutz attacks and hopeless love for Rei.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: A rugged, hunky, and athletic guy, he has no qualms about doing the cleaning and housekeeping chores at the shrine.
  • Secretly Wealthy: Is revealed to be the son of a very wealthy family. Though he doesn't bring it up as much.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: Delivers one to Koan when she thinks that he's only trying to shield Rei to impress her and win her over, saying that he's only trying to protect her be he wants to.
  • Starving Artist: In the original English dubs only, he describes himself as a struggling musician. It's more of an Informed Attribute, though. He comes from a rich family, and since he never was depicted as a musician in the Japanese version, nothing is seen to suggest that he can even play an instrument.
  • Surfer Dude: Talks like one in the original English-language dubs.
  • Those Two Guys: With Rei's grandfather. After he comes to work for the latter, it's rare to see one without the other.
  • Train-Station Goodbye: Subverted with Rei and Yuichirou: the train turns out to be a Monster of the Week. Oddly, compared to when Ami and Ryo play it straight, this one is more of a Tear Jerker complete with appropriate Awesome Music.
  • Throwing Down the Gauntlet: When he mistakes Haruka for Rei's boyfriend and then sees her with her girlfriend, he is convinced that Haruka is cheating on Rei, so he decides to defend Rei's honor and challenges Haruka to a duel. Haruka is more than a little puzzled.
  • Unexplained Accent: Like Naru, his accent from the DiC dub seems a bit out of place in Tokyo.
  • Wild Hair: His shoulder-length hair is consistently rugged and unkempt.

Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai (original series), Daisuke Sakaguchi (Crystal) (JP), Greg Felden (Viz) (EN) Foreign VAs 

A friend, and possible love interest, of Makoto's and an underclassman at Mamoru's school. He's very curious and fills his spare time doing paranormal investigation, which made him the focus of a minor subplot in the Black Moon arc of the manga and Crystal.


  • Ambiguously Bi: His idolization of Mamoru could easily be interpeted as a crush, but on the other hand, he also gets kissed by Makoto and doesn't complain about it.
  • Big Brother Worship: They're not actually related, but he really admires Mamoru, who is an upperclassman at his school.
  • Bishie Sparkle: In Crystal, when Makoto kisses him, he gives off a wave of sparkles with Love Bubbles all around the two of them.
  • Conspiracy Theorist: An inquisitive guy who takes notes of everything he sees and fills his spare time coming up with crazy theories like the girls being aliens. He comes off as a bit of a deconstruction, though. The supernatural is already a common sight in Tokyo before his debut, and some of his theories are half-right, but he gets the details wrong (the girls are reincarnations of aliens).
  • Constantly Curious: When anything he sees catches his attention, he wants to understand what it's all about, often jotting things in his notebook to help him figure it out.
  • Continuity Cameo: Has one in The '90s anime to establish that he exists in that continuity. A minor (but still important enough to know the girls' secret identities) recurring character from the manga, he appears briefly in one episode of Sailor Stars where he calls on Mamoru when he misses a get together of the members of a PC Network. When Mamoru doesn't appear to be home, he leaves. We only know it's him because of the credits.
  • Declaration of Protection: In Crystal, after he learns the truth, he makes one to Makoto. Even though he can't help fight and doesn't have powers, he will protect her.
  • Demoted to Extra: He appears a number of times in the manga, beginning in the Black Moon arc, but only appears once very briefly in The '90s anime in the final season, and even then, his name only appears in the credits.
  • Dub Name Change: The original English translation of the manga names him Osamu. For some reason, the translators just gave him a completely different Japanese name instead of an English one like everyone else.
  • Easily-Overheard Conversation: In Act 17 of Crystal, he overheards Usagi, Mamoru and Luna in Crown Fruits Parlor discussing the current situation regarding Chibi-Usa, Black Moon, and the kidnapping of Rei and Ami.
  • The Glomp: On the first manga page he appears in, Makoto greets him with an overpowering hug.
  • Hero-Worshipper: Towards Mamoru. He wants to be just like him, so he takes notes about everything Mamoru does.
  • Implied Love Interest: There's nothing at first to indicate that he and Makoto are more than really close friends at the start of the series, but then she kisses him on the forehead after he learns the girls' identities. When this scene was adapted into Crystal, the animators made it look as romantic as they could, complete with bubbles and sparkles, and he promises to protect her much like Yuuichirou did to Rei in the first anime.
  • Last-Name Basis: He's usually just called Asanuma.
  • Love Bubbles: In Act 17 of Crystal, there's a romantic scene between Makoto and Asanuma where she kisses him and bubbles and sparkles are all around them
  • Nerds Are Sexy: Obsessed with science fiction and the paranormal, carries a notebook everywhere to take notes of whatever he sees, yet he looks like a bishie in sharp men's clothes, and Makoto and Minako acknowledge how cute he is.
  • Nice Guy: While Makoto is working through a cold and worried about her friends, Asanuma comforts her and promises that he'll be there for her when she needs him.
  • Paranormal Investigation: He's a member of the Sci-Fi Club at his school, to which he reports any UFO sightings. In fact, after witnessing Mamoru healing himself and Luna talking to Usagi, he thinks that their group might be aliens.
  • Secret-Keeper: In the manga, after he reveals to Makoto what he saw, she confesses the Sailor Guardians' identities to him and even kisses him on the forehead.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: Often seen wearing the tie, jacket and dress shirt of his school uniform.
  • Ship Tease: In the manga, after learning the girls' identities, Makoto kisses him on the forehead. Crystal goes beyond this and has her outright flirting him and makes the kiss scene look as romantic as possible.
  • Sixth Ranger: Of the civilian cast. He is introduced during the Black Moon arc.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Averted. Like Ikuko Tsukino but unlike the rest of the civilian cast, he actually appeared as late as Stars.

    Momoko Momohara 

Momoko Momohara (Melissa/Melanie)

Click to see her in the 90s anime 
Voiced by: Taeko Kawata (JP); Mary Long (DiC), Tanya Donato (Cloverway), Debi Derryberry (Viz) (EN) Foreign VAs 

A girl who is Chibi-Usa's closest non-Sailor Guardian friend. They are in the same class whenever Chibi-Usa attends school in the present time.


  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Manga illustrations show her with pinkish or purple hair. In early '90s anime appearances, her hair was brown, but in the fourth season it became purple with no explanation, yet didn't match the manga. Her eyes also changed from a light blue to bright purple.
  • Alphabetical Theme Naming: In the original English dubs, Chibi-Usa's best muggle friends are Melly and Kelly.
  • Anime Chinese Girl: Dresses as one and her family owns a Chinese restaurant.
  • Art Evolution: As with Shingo, Momoko visually ages a little over the course of her appearances. In R, she appears around six or seven like Chibi-Usa, while in S and Super S, she's taller and has a visible bustline. Her bangs and side strands also went from being straight to curly. These changes in her look match up with her manga appearance.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: In an episode of the R season, when she's accidentally infused with Black Energy. Chibi-Usa manages to debrainwash her, though.
  • Clean Dub Name: The Latin American dub had Momoko shortened to Momo, to avoid the near-homophone moco/mocosa meaning (snot/snotty or brat).
  • Cool Big Sis: Acts like this towards Chibi-Usa, even though they are technically in the same grade and Chibi-Usa is Really 700 Years Old.
  • Dub Name Change: She got two. The DiC dub of the original anime name her Melissa, but the Cloverway dub changed it to Melanie with the nickname Melly. There is an explanation for this however. Her appearance radically changed between her R and SuperS appearances that the Cloverway team assumed she was an entirely new character, so they gave her a different name.
  • Inconsistent Coloring: She had brown hair in the R and S seasons but switched to purple hair in SuperS. In the manga, she has pink hair.
  • Muggle Best Friend: To Chibi-Usa. They're close friends while she's in the past, but she isn't one of the Sailor Guardians.
  • Nice Girl: She's a very nice and friendly person.
  • Repetitive Name: Momoko Momohara.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: Her hair is actually purple, but in Crystal, it looks more like a deep shade of pink, and she's a Nice Girl.
  • Series Continuity Error: Her hair color is switched from brown to purple in Super S without any explanation, and her eyes go from being a light blue to an identical shade of purple.
  • Sixth Ranger: Of the civilian cast. She is introduced during the Black Moon arc.
  • Sudden Name Change: In the original English dub. Her dub name was originally Melissa, but later episodes were dubbed by a different company who used the name Melanie instead (Melly for short).

Kyuusuke Sarashina in Sailor Moon Crystal
Kyuusuke voiced by: Kazumi Okushima (R), Daisuke Sakaguchi (Super S), Yukiko Morishita (Crystal) (JP), Nicola St. John (Cloverway), Kyle Hebert (Viz) (EN)
Kotono voiced by: Akemi Kanda (Crystal) (JP), Tara Sands (Viz) (EN)

Two siblings who are friends with the girls. Kyuusuke is a friend and classmate of Chibi-Usa's. He's very athletic but also very sarcastic. Kotono goes to Rei's school and is obsessed with the supernatural.


  • Accidental Pervert: A more subtle instance is towards the end of episode 155. There's a brief scene where Chibi-Usa and Momoko are showing off the sports day ribbons on their shirts, and their friend Kyusuke is nearby with a blush on his face, making you wonder if he's catching a look down Momoko's shirt (particularly since Momo as portrayed in SuperS is already filling out).
  • Adapted Out: Kotono in The '90s anime. However, she returns in Crystal.
  • Alphabetical Theme Naming: In the original English dubs, Chibi-Usa's best muggle friends are Melly and Kelly.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Similar to Asanuma and Mamoru, her admiration for Sailor V and for her schoolmate Rei could be interpreted as crushes. She hasn't shown any indication that she's attracted to men.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Kotono can be one, due to her involvement in paranormal investigation.
  • Distaff Counterpart: Kotono is one to Asanuma. Both are paranormal-obsessed muggle friends of the Guardians introduced around the same time.
  • Dub Name Change: The original English dub of the original anime names Kyuusuke Kelly.
  • Fan Boy: Kyuusuke is a Sailor V fan.
  • Fangirl: Kotono is also a Sailor V fan.
  • Gender-Blender Name: In the original English dub, he is named Kelly. It used to be an exclusively male name before becoming unisex, but by the time Sailor Moon first aired, it was mostly used by girls.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kyusuke is very sarcastic and often bickers with the girls but is still a good friend to them.
  • Lovable Jock: Kyuusuke is very athletic and goes to school with Chibi-Usa. Though he's a jerk, he's not really a Jerk Jock.
  • Odd Friendship: Kyuusuke is friends with a nerdy boy in his class named Sorano. Sorano basically a younger version of Umino, making him about as unlike Kyuusuke as one can get.
  • Paranormal Investigation: Kotono was the president of TA Academy's supernatural research club.
  • School Newspaper Newshound: Kotono was a member of Rei's school's news club.
  • Shout-Out: Kotono's first name is an obvious one to Kotono Mitsuishi.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Aside from Sailor V fandom, they don’t have much of anything in common. She's a Cloudcuckoolander; he's sane and sensible. She's a Nice Girl; he's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. She embraces the traditional feminine ideals of Catholic schools and Japanese society; he's a rough-and-tumble sports-minded boy.
  • Sixth Ranger: Of the civilian cast. Both are introduced during the Black Moon arc.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Kyuusuke's is soba. Luckily for him, he and his sister live in a shop that sells it.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Kyuusuke has this relationship with Chibi-Usa and Momoko. They're his best friends, but he often snarks and argues with them.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Kyuusuke is scared of high jumps. He has to confront this in one episode.

Minor and one-shot characters

Manga and Sailor Moon Crystal

    In General 
  • Adapted Out: A number of minor characters from the manga were left out of the original anime, despite how much the anime made use of one-shot characters.
  • Canon Foreigner: A lot of minor and one-shot characters them were created just for the '90s anime.
  • Filler: Often, they're just created to fill out the series and add more episodes/enemy attacks.
  • One-Shot Character: Most of them appear in only a single episode or chapter. A few of them reappear once or twice, but that’s as far as it goes, and their roles are so minor for such a long series that they might as well be one-shots.note 
  • Victim of the Week: Most of them were created to give the villains someone new to attack. This was mostly done in the '90s anime, but the manga also featured minor characters who mainly served as new victims.
  • Woobie of the Week: Basically, every other One-Shot Character in the anime is one. It gets annoying after a while, as the Sailor Guardians are perfectly fine helping out the character they barely know, but they spend no time with their actual friends.

Humans

    Mii and her mother 

Mii and her mother

Mii voiced by: Ayane Sakura (JP), Cherami Leigh (EN)
Mii's mother voiced by: Yuka Komatsu (JP), Kate Higgins (EN)

Mii is a little girl in the first grade who enjoys playing at the Hikawa Shrine after school. She was among the bus passengers abducted by Jadeite in Act 3 of the manga and Crystal, for which her mother blamed Rei.


  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Mii has dark hair in the manga, while her mother's hair is light. Both have deep reddish-purple hair in Crystal.
  • Adapted Out: They did not appear in the original anime.
  • Advertised Extra: Of Crystal, even more so than Naru's mother. At least most fans remembered the latter, but a lot of fans forgot that these two even existed, since they just appeared in one act of the manga and didn't appear at all in the '90s anime. Nevertheless, because of their early appearance, they were included in the promotional art of the Sailor Moon Crystal Official First Visual Book.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Mii always wears her hair up in a pair of cute-looking pigtails.
  • Mama Bear: When Mii goes missing, her mom won't stand by or let anything happen to her.
  • One-Shot Character: They only appear in Act 3 of the manga and Crystal.
  • Only One Name: Their surname is unknown.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: In Crystal, they look a lot like each other and have the same hair and eye color.
  • Victim of the Week: Mii is one of the bus passengers abducted by Jadeite to gather people's energy.
  • Unnamed Parent: Mii's mother is unnamed.

    Princess D 

Princess D

Click to see her in the 90s anime 
Voiced by: Miki Itou (original series), Kana Ueda (Crystal) (JP), Lisa Ortiz (DiC), Cindy Robinson (Viz) (EN)

A princess from the fictional D Kingdom, the world's largest producer of diamonds. She was once suspected of being the Moon Princess, so the heroes and villains both infiltrated her party to investigate her. She has the same kind of spiral glasses as Umino but looks beautiful when she takes them off.


  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Princess D is blonde in Crystal. She was originally brunette in the earlier anime, as to possibly make her look like a female Umino. It is entirely possible that Naoko intended her to be blonde in the manga, however.
  • Adapted Out: Of the live-action, though they kept her storyline, replacing her with a rich non-royal girl named Yuka Sakuragi.
  • Beautiful All Along: Much like Umino, when she takes her glasses off…
  • Blind Without 'Em: When her glasses get knocked off, she can't see at all and quickly starts trying to find them.
  • Cool Crown: She wears a simple but elegant royal crown.
  • Distaff Counterpart: To Umino and his Sailor V equivalent Amano.
  • The Glasses Gotta Go: She turns out to be quite pretty without her glasses. It makes the girls wonder if the same is true for Umino.
  • One-Shot Character: She only appears once in the manga, and only once in both anime series (both times, the episode was directly adapted from Act 4 of the manga).
  • Opaque Nerd Glasses: They even have the same spiral look as Umino's.
  • Ruritania: She is from one, which is simply referred to as D Kingdom.

    Makoto's senpai 

Makoto's senpai

Voiced by: Kenji Akabane (Crystal) (JP), Lisa Ortiz (DiC), Patrick Seitz (Viz) (EN)

A boy from Makoto's old school. Makoto had a crush on him, but she turned him down because he didn't like girls who were that strong or tall. Makoto never quite got over him from the way she keeps comparing boys to him in a smitten way.


  • Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the original version of the '90s anime, he was Makoto's senpai and crush, though they never actually dated. In the original English dubs, he was her ex-boyfriend who broke her heart.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Makoto was in love with him, but he didn't return her feelings. This is changed in the original English dub to him being her ex-boyfriend who broke up with her.
  • The Ghost: In the manga where he's only mentioned in passing as part of Makoto's introduction but never seen.
  • He Who Must Not Be Seen: Mentioned dozens of times, but the only time he is actually seen in a flashback in the '90s anime, the image is too blurry and shadowed to make him out clearly. In Crystal, he's only seen from a distance or from the back, so there's still no shot of his head.
  • Love Triangle: In Crystal, he is at the center of one. Instead of stating that he's not her type, the reason he turns down her affections is that he already has a girlfriend.
  • Named by the Adaptation: Didn't get a name in any Japanese version, but the original English dub of the 1990s anime named him Freddy.
  • No Guy Wants an Amazon: One of the reasons why he didn't love Makoto back was this. And he's not the only guy in the series who reacted to her affections this way. Poor Makoto.
  • No Name Given: The original English dub aside, he never got one. In the manga, Makoto does refer to a "Nichogi-senpai" from her past, but it's not made clear if this was the same senpai.
  • One-Shot Character: The only time he is ever actually seen is in flashbacks in one episode of the '90s anime. He is mentioned all the time in that series, though, due to Makoto's Running Gag (he was only mentioned once in the manga).
  • Running Gag: Is the basis for one in the original anime, in which Makoto says whatever boy she sees reminds her of him, even if they don't look like him at all. Contrast the manga, when he's only even mentioned once or twice.
  • The Voiceless: When he does appear in flashbacks in the '90s anime, he doesn't have any dialogue. Averted in Crystal where he does speak.
  • You're Not My Type: When he turned Makoto down, he told her that it was because tall, strong girls like she are not his type. This is changed in Crystal, where he instead turns her down because he already has a girlfriend.

    Endo 

Endo

Voiced by: Hiroaki Miura (JP), Vic Mignogna (EN)

Motoki's best friend in the manga and Crystal. Endymion used his magic to remove him and impersonate him while he was under the Dark Kingdom's evil spell.


  • Adapted Out: Of everything except Crystal. In other adaptations, Mamoru actually is Motoki's best friend instead of impersonating him.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: He and Motoki are best friends in the manga and Crystal.
  • One-Shot Character: He only appears in Act 11 of the manga and Crystal.
  • Only One Name: He's just called Endo. We don't even know if it's his first name or surname.
  • Otaku: Described as one by Reika, though exactly what he's an otaku for is never revealed.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: In the manga, a brainwashed Endymion apparently disintegrates him (the artwork is kind of unclear) to impersonate him. In Crystal, Endymion just brainwashes him and sends him away, and by the end of the episode, he is shown to be alive and well.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: In his first appearance, when Endymion gets rid of him take his place, we never hear from him again, at least in the manga. Since it's not exactly clear what Endymion is doing to him, it's not certain if Endo is still alive in the manga.

Nonhumans

    Diana the Moon Fairy 

Diana the Moon Fairy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura_de_tela_2023_10_17_202539.png
A character who was developed for the manga but didn't get used in the end. Although she cut in favor of Queen Serenity, many fans consider her to be Sailor Moon's Sailor Power Guardian.
  • All There in the Manual: Even though she never appears, a fair bit is revealed about her in the Materials Collection, including her personality.
  • Decomposite Character: Meta-example. Her role in the manga, a humanoid alien that the Sailor Guardians meet on their first trip to the moon, was developed into Queen Serenity's spirit, but her name was used for Luna's daughter. Also, the idea of sprite guardians from outer space did get reused as the Sailor Power Guardians.
  • Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: She wears star and moon earing and bracelets.
  • Fairy Companion: Apparently, she was going to be Usagi's pet fairy once the Sailor Guardians found her. The idea was scrapped, and Usagi met the spirit of her past life mother instead.
  • Genki Girl: The Materials Collection describes her as playful and hyperactive.
  • Lilliputians: A picture of her drawn with Luna for scale shows that Diana is only a few inches tall.
  • Motor Mouth: The Materials Collection describes her as talkative.
  • Our Fairies Are Different: She looks like the stereotypical tiny-humanoid-girl-with-lacy-wings variety of fairies. Also, she's an alien.
  • Sidekick Creature Nuisance: According to the Materials Collection, Luna would have found her behavior annoying and wouldn't have gotten along with her.
  • Sole Survivor: It's implied that, had she been used instead of Queen Serenity, she would have been the last survivor of the Silver Millennium.
  • Vapor Wear: She wears a short, strapless, yellow dress that's translucent, showing that she wears nothing under it.
  • Winged Humanoid: Like many fairies, she looks like a tiny humanoid with wings.

    Sailor Power Guardians

Guardian Uranus voiced by: Junko Minagawa (JP), Erica Mendez (EN)
Guardian Neptune voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (JP), Lauren Landa (EN)
Guardian Pluto voiced by: Ai Maeda (JP), Veronica Taylor (EN)

Eight spirit-like beings who look lik miniature version of the Inner and Outer Sailor Guardians. What they are and what they do is kind of a mystery, but they are deeply connected to their respective Sailor Guardians and almost seem to be a part of them. They are the ones who tell them of the means to achieve their Eternal forms.


  • Adapted Out: They do not appear in the original anime, but all eight appear in Eternal.
  • All There in the Manual: In the manga, Guardian Mercury, Guardian Mars, Guardian Jupiter, Guardian Venus, and Guardian Saturn are not named. Their names are from "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon: The Original Picture Collection, Vol. 4".
  • Ancient Keeper: Their actual roles and purposes aren't made clear, but Guardian Mercury and Guardian Jupiter do give their Ami and Makoto their Sailor Crystals, suggesting that they've been keeping them safe all this time.
  • Expy: They take a lot of influence from Naoko Takeuchi's unused character Diana the Moon Fairy, another sprite-like tiny magic girl who represents a Sailor Guardian's world. This is why some fans consider Diana to be Sailor Moon's Power Guardian.
  • Fairy Companion: Each of the Sailor Power Guardians is a sprite that basically looks like a chibi version of their respective ward and serves as her fairy companion.
  • Killed Offscreen: They are implied to have all been killed by Shadow Galaxia in the manga just like their respective princesses, though only some of their deaths are shown. Like the cats, it's left up in the air whether or not they were revived.
  • Lilliputians: They are all tiny, fairy-like versions of the Sailor Guardians.
  • Mysterious Protector: Very little is revealed about them, but they do step in to help their companions fight the Dead Moon Circus in a supportive role.
  • Power Glows: All of them have the power to magically glow. In the manga, it manifests as circles of light around them, but in Eternal, they have color-coded auras.
  • Rousing Speech: The first two who appear are Guardian Mercury and Guardian Jupiter. They give Ami and Makoto a pep talk, build up their confidence, and give them their Sailor Crystals.
  • Power Floats: They don't have wings, but they can magically float.
  • Stellar Name: All of them have the planet they represent in their names.
  • Teleportation: They can teleport to the Sailor Guardians when needed and then disappear without a trace when their job is done.
  • Theme Naming: They all follow the same name scheme that goes Guardian *insert planet name*, much like the Sailor Guardians' titles.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Guardians Pluto and Saturn are killed alongside their companions, and Guardians Neptune and Uranus are implied to share that fate. But the Sailor Power Guardians of the Inners are never seen again after the Dead Moon arc.

Maenad 1 voiced by: Ruriko Noguchi (JP)
Maenad 2 voiced by: Yuki Hirose (JP)

Two priestesses who guard a shrine in Elysion. They first appear encased in crystal, which protected them from a curse that was taking over their world. Later, they act as Chibi-Usa's guides to lead her to Helios.


  • Adapted Out: Did not appear in the 90s anime.
  • Ancient Keeper: They are two priestesses who guard a shrine in Elysion and who attend and assist Helios.
  • Crystal Prison: They first appear sleeping in a crystal. Though it's not so much a prison as a safe room because by sleeping, they escape a curse over Elysion.
  • The Dividual: They only appear together and don't have any traits to distinguish them. Not even names.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Their hair is much wavier than Usagi's but otherwise pretty much the same hairstyle.
  • Magical Guide: Together, in their second and final appearance, they guide Chibi-Usa to Helios.
  • No Name Given: We don't know what their names are.
  • Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: In Greek mythology, the Maenads were nymphs who followed the god Dionysus, although these two don't have much in common with them.

    Other Sailor Guardians 

Other Sailor Guardians

Various Sailor Guardians from across the Milky Way Galaxy who were killed in the past by Shadow Galactica. Named Guardians include Sailor Chuu, Sailor Mermaid, Sailor Coronis, Sailor Mau, and Sailor Cocoon. All five were killed by residents of their home planets, who then stole their Sailor Crystals to win Sailor Galaxia's favor and became the Sailor Animamates, but later came back to life along with the other victims of Galaxia's conquest after Sailor Moon utilized the Lambda Power with the Galaxy Cauldron.


  • Adapted Out: They are not mentioned in the '90s anime, unless you count the idea of them being Composite Characters with the Animamates (see below). If that is the case, that still leaves Sailor Cocoon being adapted out, since Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon was too.
  • Adaptational Villainy: In the manga, they were heroes who were betrayed and murdered, and the Sailor Animamates were just ordinary women from their worlds who stole their Sailor Crystals. The anime implies that Sailor Mau and possibly the others were brainwashed by Sailor Galaxia and transformed into the Animamates.
  • Alien Animals: Sailor Mau was the Sailor Guardian from Luna and Artemis' home planet, and Sailor Coronis is the same for Phobos and Deimos. Like them, they presumably have animal forms of a cat and a crow. No indication as to whether the others have nonhuman forms.
  • All There in the Manual: Sailor Cocoon is never mentioned anywhere in the text. The name of her planet, and by extension her, comes from the Materials Collection.
  • Animal Motifs: The planets and their inhabitants, including the Sailor Guardian herself, are based on animals (or, in one case, a half-animal, half-human creature), with each planet's name having something to do with that animal:
    • Sailor Chuu: Mice.
    • Sailor Mermaid: Mermaids.
    • Sailor Coronis: Crows.
    • Sailor Mau: Cats.
    • Sailor Cocoon: Butterflies.
  • Animal Theme Naming: All of the known dead Sailor Guardians have titles that have something to do with the animals that they're based on.
  • Bilingual Bonus: Sailor Mau's name has a double meaning. It mainly refers to the Japanese word for a cat's meow, but "mau" is also the Egyptian word for "cat".
  • Cat Girl: Sailor Mau is never seen, but since the people of Mau usually retain catlike features in human form, it's likely that she was one of these.
  • Composite Character: The revelation in the anime that Nyanko used to be a heroic Sailor Guardian before being corrupted by Galaxia implies that her true identity may be Sailor Mau, the Guardian that Nyanko was said to have murdered in the manga. In the manga, Luna and Artemis deny that Tin Nyanko is Sailor Mau. This may also be the case for the other Sailor Animamates.
  • Good Counterpart: The five named ones are this for the five Sailor Animamates. They're Sailor Guardians from the same respective planets with the same Animal Motifs, but they were their planets' protectors, while the Animamates are villains and members of Shadow Galactica:
    • Sailor Chuu: Sailor Iron Mouse.
    • Sailor Mermaid: Sailor Aluminum Siren.
    • Sailor Coronis: Sailor Lead Crow.
    • Sailor Mau: Sailor Tin Nyanko.
    • Sailor Cocoon: Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon.
  • Human Aliens: They are all the same races as the Sailor Animamates, so they probably all look as human as they do. It's only confirmed for Sailor Coronis when she appears in a flashback.
  • Magical Girl Warrior: All of them are the Sailor Guardians and protectors of their home worlds just like the main characters.
  • Our Mermaids Are Different: Sailor Mermaid's people are implied to be merpeople who basically look human without piscine tails, if Sailor Aluminum Siren is any indication. Also, they're aliens.
  • Posthumous Character: All are long dead before Shadow Galactica arrives in our solar system. Sailor Coronis appears briefly in a flashback, but the others are only described.
  • Unknown Character: Shadow Galactica must have killed countless Sailor Guardians across the galaxy, but only five are named, and only because the Sailor Animamates come from their planets. The rest are unknown.
  • Verbal Tic Name: "Mau" is the Japanese rendition of the sound made by cats, and "Chuu" is the same for mice.

    Guardian Cosmos 

Guardian Cosmos

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/m_guardiancosmos.png
Voiced by: Keiko Kitagawa (JP)

An ancient spirit who serves as the guardian of the Galaxy Cauldron, the place in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy where all things in the galaxy are created and destroyed, and the source of every star seed of every living being. She tells Usagi the truth about life and death.


  • Adapted Out: Did not appear in the '90s anime.
  • Ancient Keeper: A spirit being whose purpose is to be the guardian of the Galaxy Cauldron, the place at the centre of the Milky Way where all stars and living things in the galaxy are born. Considering how old the galaxy is, it can be assumed that she's really ancient.
  • Cosmic Keystone: Although not technically a Sailor Guardian, she possesses a Sailor Crystal called the Cosmos Crystal, an artifact so powerful that it's capable of things that even the Silver Crystal may not be able to do. It allows her to revive an entire galaxy's worth of Sailor Crystals.
  • Cryptic Conversation: Has one of these with Usagi when Usagi comes to the Galaxy Cauldron. A lot of her statements are pretty ambiguous.
  • Last Episode, New Character: She only appears in the final chapter of the manga.
  • "Leave Your Quest" Test: A benevolent example. She offers Usagi the chance to leave the difficult life of being a Sailor Guardian and start a new life in the form of a star or go back to her old life as she was. Usagi chooses the latter because, as hard as her old life has been, she'd rather stay with her friends.
  • Little People: She appears to be only a few inches tall.
  • Magic Staff: Carries a long staff that glows.
  • Time Abyss: She has apparently been guarding the Galaxy Cauldron for as long as it's been around. That means she's probably older than the Milky Way itself.

Mika Kayama (Mika Cassidy)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mika_kayama.jpg

Voiced by: Chieko Nanba and Ayako Shiraishi (JP); Kathleen Laskey (DiC), Michelle Ruff (Viz) (EN)

Shingo's best friend and classmate in two early episodes. She is the daughter of a famous dollmaker named Yoshiko Kayama and has inherited her skill. She becomes one of Nephrite's targets.


  • Canon Foreigner: Created for two episodes of the original anime.
  • Creepy Doll: Mika takes to working on her latest project nonstop after her and Shingo's friendship goes briefly sour, and once Nephrite targets her, she starts making dolls who are really creepy.
  • The Cutie: Sweet and pretty.
  • Dub Name Change: The English dubs kept her first name but changed her last name to Cassidy.
  • Lonely Doll Girl: While under Nephrite's spell, she turns into one and stays in her room doing nothing but making dolls.
  • Mistaken for Romance: Everyone around them keeps thinking she and Shingo are a couple and it's ship teased as much an episode can, but they don't call each other anything but friends. Shingo really hates it when people call them a couple and always denies it.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: With Shingo. She calls him her best friend, and she's definitely the same for him. They're ship teased, but we never see them dating.
  • Puppy Love: If one takes her relationship with Shingo as a budding romance (it's left kinda… ambiguous), it's this at best. They're only in the fifth grade.
  • Reclusive Artist: In-Universe, she briefly turns into one (specializing in dollmaking) when Nephrite puts her under his spell to build up her energy.
  • Ship Tease: Her interactions with Shingo are left up to viewers to decide. Platonic friends with a lot of affection or a couple that hasn't quite discovered the opposite sex yet?
  • Victim of the Week: She was one of Nephrite's targets.

Voiced by: Mika Kanai (JP), Stephanie Morgenstern (DiC), Megan Hollingshead (Viz) (EN)

A teenage television idol and former student of Juuban Municipal Junior High School. She was apparently hosting a talent search called the Cinderella Caravan, but it was really one of Jadeite's youma impersonating her as a scheme to gather energy.


  • The Cameo: She reappears briefly in a second season episode when she had her energy drained by An. This makes her one of the few victims of the week to return for a second episode.
  • Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the 90s anime.
  • Capture and Replicate: The episode's youma does this to her to draw in people for a talent search.
  • Dub Name Change: Is named "Saffron" in the DiC version
  • Show Within a Show: During her brief reappearance in episode 48, she was set to star in a TV drama, which was cancelled after the Makai Tree aliens attacked.
  • Talent Contest: She (or rather her evil double) hosted a talent search called the Cinderella Caravan, which turned out to be a scheme from the Dark Kingdom to gather energy.
  • Teen Idol: A former student at Juuban Municipal Junior High School who is now a famous star. Her cameo in the second season shows just what kind of idol she is: a TV actress.

Voiced by: Masaaki Ohkura (JP), Rino Romano (DiC), Grant George (Viz) (EN)

Joe began as a mysterious individual who seemed to have unnatural luck at arcade crane games. It turns out that he has telekinetic powers because he's the reincarnation of Gamecen, one of the Seven Great Youma.


  • Adaptational Nice Guy: The DIC dub removes a lot of his Jerkass behavior, including him rejecting Makoto, and states that he donates the prizes he wins to poor children.
  • The Cameo: Briefly reappears, along with the other members of the Seven Great Youma, in episode 41.
  • Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the '90s anime.
  • Dub Name Change: A slight change in his nickname. The DiC dub calls him Game Machine Joe instead of Crane Game Joe. The Viz dub changes it again to "Joe the Crane Game Troll". "Gamecen" is dubbed as "Game Machine Man" in the DiC version.

  • Jerkass: Joe rudely pushes away Makoto even when the latter tries to help save him from Zoisite. He says outright that he doesn't care about her at all.

  • Mind over Matter: He has telekinetic powers thanks to his past life.
  • Otaku: He's obsessed with claw crane arcade games.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dreamy_6.png
Voiced by: Yuriko Fuchizaka (JP), Kathleen Laskey (DiC), Tara Sands (Viz) (EN)

A shy woman who works as a professional artist. Being so insecure about her looks, she kept her identity secret by creating a fake persona through her paintings. She's the reincarnation of Veena, one of the Seven Great Youma. After the Sailor Guardians save her, she gains the confidence to be show her true self.


  • Alliterative Name: Yumemi Yumeno. Spelled with different Japanese characters, though. In the English dub, she paints under the pseudonym Lani Lanai.

  • Enemy Within: Veena, one of the Seven Great Youma.
  • Living MacGuffin: She turns out to be Veena, one of the Seven Great Youma, and the carrier of the Green Rainbow Crystal.
  • Punny Name: Her name sounds like the Japanese phrase "Yume no yumemi" ("seeing in dreams").
  • Reclusive Artist: In-universe. She's a talented artist who felt she was too plain to be taken seriously as a romance painter. While she doesn't stay permanently indoors, she paints fake portraits of herself (depicting herself as a beautiful and royal-looking woman) and stays in the background during her own exhibitions. After she's targeted by Zoicite, forcibly turned into the youma she was in her former life and rescued by the Sailor Guardians, Yumemi decides to stop hiding and in her new exhibition, she includes a picture of her actual meganekko self.
  • Press-Ganged: This is how she finds her models for her paintings. She grabs Usagi and Mamoru (almost literally) and begs them to be her models.
  • Reincarnation: The reincarnation of one of the Seven Great Youma.
  • Shrinking Violet: She starts out too shy to deal with the public but becomes more confident by the end of the episode and reveals her true identity.
  • Two Girls to a Team: One of only two female members of the Seven Great Youma.

    Rhett Butler 

Rhett Butler (Hercules)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rhett_3.png
Voiced by: Masahiro Anzai (JP), David Fraser (DiC), David Lodge (Viz) (EN)

An overweight blue cat with a crush on Luna that she doesn't reciprocate. Zoisite thought his owner An Ohara was the one he was looking for, but it turns out that he's the reincarnation of Bakene, one of the Seven Great Youma, not her.


  • Acrofatic: Despite being overweight, he's got enough prowess to save Luna twice from a gang of stray cats in the same episode.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: He has a crush on Luna. She doesn't return it, although it's hinted by the end of the episode that that might be changing.
  • Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: A cat with blue hair.
  • The Cameo: Briefly reappears, along with the other members of the Seven Great Youma, in episode 41.
  • Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the '90s anime.
  • Dub Name Change: "Hercules" in the DiC dub.
  • Enemy Within: Bakene, one of the Seven Great Youma.
  • Ironic Name: The DiC dub named him "Hercules" despite being a plump and overweight cat.
  • Killer Rabbit: A fat, lazy tomcat, but even if you forget that he's the reincarnation of one of the strongest youma ever, he managed to scare away a whole gang full of feral cats, including one with More Teeth than the Osmond Family, who were attacking Luna as his regular cat self.
  • Living MacGuffin: He turns out to be Bakene, one of the Seven Great Youma, and the carrier of the Violet Rainbow Crystal.
  • My Significance Sense Is Tingling: He broke away from An Ohara's (his master) grip upon sensing that Luna was in trouble again.
  • Pet's Homage Name: His owner named him Rhett Butler after a character from Gone with the Wind. In the DiC dub, he's named after Hercules the hero from Classical Mythology.
  • Reincarnation: The reincarnation of one of the Seven Great Youma.
  • Rescue Romance: He saves Luna because he is in love with her. Nothing comes of it, although by the end, she starts to be attracted to him because of it.
  • Shout-Out Theme Naming: He is named after the character of the same name from Gone with the Wind, while his owner An Ohara is named after Scarlett O'Hara.
  • Token Nonhuman: The only nonhuman among the Seven Great Youma's reincarnations. The Dark Kingdom originally thought it was his owner An after seeing them together.

Alan and Katarina
Katarina voiced by: Yuto Mika (JP), Veronica Taylor (EN)
Alan voiced by: Keiichi Nanba (JP), Wally Wingert (EN)

Two old friends of Minako's from London. Katarina is an Interpol officer, and Alan is her boyfriend and one of Minako's former crushes.


  • All Love Is Unrequited: Alan was one of Minako's unrequited crushes. She fakes her death to let him be with Katarina.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: It happens to Katarina when she gets turned into a youma.
  • Canon Foreigner: Both only appear in the 90s anime.
  • Cool Big Sis: Minako saw Katarina this way when she lived in London. She admired her and looked up to her.
  • Fair Cop: Katarina is a beautiful woman and an Interpol officer.
  • Friend on the Force: Katarina was this to Minako when she fought in London as Sailor V.
  • Official Couple: They are dating.
  • One-Steve Limit: Almost averted in the first English dub where Ail was also called Alan...except that the episode featuring these two was missing from the DiC dub.
  • Only One Name: Their surnames are not mentioned.
  • Secret-Keeper: When Minako was Sailor V, she revealed her identity to Katarina.
  • Single Serving Friend: Apparently, they were Minako's best friends in London, but they only appear once (Alan only in flashbacks). Justified, since it's not likely for them to come halfway around the world regularly.
  • Spell My Name With An S: When their episode finally gets an English dub, Viz spells Alan's name Allan.
  • Victim of the Week: Kunzite targets Katarina and turns her into a youma.

Season 2

    Shinozaki 

Shinozaki (Ken)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shinozaki.jpg

Voiced by: Yuusuke Numata (JP); Steven Bednarski (DiC), Todd Haberkorn (Viz) (EN)

Makoto's best friend from her old school. He and Makoto are always there for each other, and he's the one who gave her a shoulder to cry on when her crush broke her heart, although she doesn't see him as a lover. Despite how close and caring they're supposed to be, he just appears once and never returns for another episode.


  • A Friend in Need: Whatever happens, he and Makoto are there for each other, even in the worst of times. When Makoto's heart is broken, he comforts her. When Shinozaki is seriously injured and needs a transfusion, Makoto donates the blood herself.
  • Blood Transfusion Plot: In the third episode of R, he is attacked by a Cardian, losing both his energy and a lot of blood. He is rushed to a hospital, and Makoto volunteers to donate since the hospital didn't have enough and she was a match. Despite being weakened from the donation, she insists on fighting the Cardian.
  • Canon Foreigner: Just like countless other one-shot characters in the anime, he was created for an episode he appears in.
  • Dub Name Change: The DiC dubs change his name to Ken. This one ended up being a bit confusing, since dub fans often assigned Kenji (who didn't get a name in that dub) the English name Ken.
  • The Friends Who Never Hang: He's supposed to be Makoto's best friend, but he only appears in one episode out of two hundred.
  • Mistaken for Romance: He and Makoto are best friends and no more, but Usagi initially assumes that he's her boyfriend, not unlike her thoughts on Shingo and Mika. Apparently, the idea of Platonic Life-Partners never occurred to Usagi.
  • Muggle Best Friend: To Makoto. She actually calls him her best friend, and he doesn't have any magical powers like her.
  • Nice Guy: A very sweet and caring guy. Makoto is lucky to have him as a friend.
  • Only One Name: It's not really clear if Shinozaki is supposed to be his first name or his last name.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: With Makoto, his former schoolmate. When Usagi asks if he is her boyfriend, she denies it; their relationship is greater than that.
  • Ship Tease: Though they only see each other as best friends, there's certainly quite a bit of this, right down to sharing an Umbrella of Togetherness. In fact, when Usagi first finds out about him, she assumes he's Makoto's boyfriend.
  • Single Serving Friend: Shinozaki is presented as almost closer to Makoto than a lover (he's shown comforting her after she's abandoned by her boyfriend in a flashback). Makoto even volunteers to be a blood donor when he's injured. After he leaves the hospital he never appears again.
  • Umbrella of Togetherness: A purely platonic one. When Makoto's senpai rejects her on a rainy day and she runs away, he shares his umbrella with her as he comforts her through the heartbreak.
  • Victim of the Week: Mostly fills this role since he gets hurt in his debut episode and never appears again after that episode, although he's a bit of a fan favorite as far as one-shot victims go.

    Manami 

Manami (Jordan)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/225444.jpg
Voiced by: Mayumi Nomura (JP), Tony Daniels (DiC), Ben Diskin (Viz) (EN)

A baby whose mother was hospitalized after a Cardian attacked his nursery school and drained everyone's energy. Usagi and Mamoru vowed to look after Manami until his mother recovered.


  • Baby's First Words: At the end of his episode, after his babysitters say goodbye to him, he says his first words: "Mamoru, Usagi, bye-bye."
  • Babysitting Episode: After his mother had her energy stolen protecting him from a Cardian attack, she had to be hospitalized, so Usagi and Mamoru spent the day babysitting him.
  • Brainy Baby: From the way his thoughts are heard in a mental voice and the fact that he can tell that An is bad, he seems to have a level of intelligence years ahead of him.
  • Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the '90s anime.
  • Crotch-Glance Sex Check: Usagi thinks Manami is a girl and is shocked when she finds out that Manami is actually a boy when she changes his diaper. Mamoru explains to her that Manami was the baby's name, but it was a boy instead of a girl.
  • The Cutie: He's a cute baby in a cute outfit.
  • The Diaper Change: Naturally, being a baby, this happens to him twice in his episode.
  • Dub Name Change: Jordan in the DiC dub.
  • Evil-Detecting Baby: When An joins in the babysitting, Manami can tell that she doesn't mean well and shows what he thinks of her. In some dubs, his thoughts are heard to make it clear that he doesn't like her.
  • Gender-Blender Name: In Japan, Manami is usually a girl's name. His name is spelled with the kanji meaning "love" and "beauty", so it seems feminine to Usagi and Mamoru.
  • One-Shot Character: Only appears in one episode of the anime.
  • Only One Name: His surname is never revealed in the original version. The DiC dub gave him and his mother the surname "Winston".
  • Samus Is a Girl: Inverted. Based on his feminine name, Usagi and Mamoru initially assumed that Manami was a girl.
  • Tinkle in the Eye: Does this to An when she tries to change him after he realizes she can't be trusted. It's hinted that he may have done this on purpose because he senses what An really is.
  • Vocal Dissonance: In the English dubs only, he had a gruff, adultlike mental voice but a more realistic babylike voice when he spoke out loud. In the Japanese version, though, he had the same childlike voice both times.

Season 3

Voiced by: Junichi Kanemaru (JP), Jamie Haydon-Devlon (Cloverway), Michael Sinterniklaas (Viz) (EN)

A volleyball-playing friend and former crush of Minako's. They lost touch after she quit the game but met up again just as he had his Pure Heart Crystal stolen. He manages to figure out her identity without any help, something hardly any other character achieved.


  • All Love Is Unrequited: Minako had a crush on him, but he only wanted to date a girl who played volleyball. She considered retiring from Sailor Venus until she found out he already had a girlfriend.
  • Birds of a Feather: He only wants to date a girl who's into volleyball-playing as much as him, so it can be assumed that his girlfriend shares his interest in the game.
  • Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the 90s anime.
  • Dub Name Change: He was renamed Jamie in the original English dub.
  • Lovable Jock: Specifically, a volleyball player. He's a very likeable guy even though he turned down Minako's advances.
  • Last-Name Basis: Goes by Asai instead of Tsutomu.
  • Secret Secret-Keeper: He discovers that Minako is Sailor Venus but doesn't tell her that he knows.
  • Single Serving Friend: He was an old friend of Minako's from before she became Sailor V and visited England. He only appears in one episode and is never mentioned again.
  • Victim of the Week: He has his Pure Heart Crystal taken in his episode.

A teenaged track-and-field athlete and a mutual friend of Haruka's and Michiru's. She is the one who introduced them to each other, not knowing that she would be indirectly responsible for Sailor Uranus awakening. Later, after starting high school, she's targeted by Eudial for her Pure Heart Crystal.


  • Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the '90s anime.
  • Friendly Rivalry: She has been both a friend and athletic rival of Haruka.
  • Lovable Jock: Runs track for her high school, seems to be a good person.
  • Muggle Best Friend: She's friends with both Haruka and Michiru despite not being one of the Sailor Guardians.
  • Passionate Sports Girl: She enjoys track running as much as Haruka does.
  • Single Serving Friend: Apparently, she's good friends with both Haruka and Michiru and was before the two even met, but she only appears in one episode. For most of the series, the pair aren't implied to have many non-Sailor friends.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Despite only appearing in one episode, she is the one who introduced Haruka and Michiru to each other, which led to Haruka awakening as Sailor Uranus and the two of them becoming a couple and an inseparable team. And the rest is history.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Her name was spelled Elsa in the Cloverway dub. The fandom uses both spellings, but Elza is the more commonly accepted spelling and the one used in the Viz dub.
  • Token Minority: Based on her name and appearance, she's probably African American, making her the only black character in Sailor Moon.
  • Victim of the Week: In the episode that she appears in, she has her Pure Heart Crystal stolen.

Codename: Sailor V characters

Recurring characters

    Hikaru Sorano 

Hikaru Sorano

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hikaru_sorano.jpg

Minako's best friend in Codename: Sailor V. She plays a similar role as Naru in the original anime, being the Muggle Best Friend who ends up being a victim of enemy attacks more than once. She looks a lot like Ami.


  • Boyish Short Hair: Although it's black instead of blue, it makes her look almost identical to Ami.
  • Bump into Confrontation: Happens twice to her and Minako in Codename Sailor V allowing Saito, the head of a different gang of juvenile delinquents and former attendee of the same middle school as Minako to rescue them. Minako gets a crush on him but he's in love with his old / her current Home Ec teacher.
  • The Cameo: Makes a brief appearance in Sailor Moon: Another Story.
  • Damsel in Distress: Any time she is a victim of the Dark Agency, Minako has to rescue her as Sailor V.
  • Decomposite Character: A meta-example. Originally, she was going to be Sailor Mercury, but Naoko Takeuchi decided to create an entirely different character to fill that role. That's why Hikaru and Ami look so similar.
  • Designated Victim; Commonly a victim of attacks by the Dark Agency, just like her Sailor Moon counterpart Naru.
  • Gender-Blender Name: The name Hikaru is unisex, although it's typically more common for boys.
  • Heroic Willpower: Subverted. She is commonly a victim of the Dark Kingdom, although she is one of only three people to resist the allure of the Dark Agency's Rainbow Chocolates (mainly because she always eats healthily).
  • Muggle Best Friend: To Minako. She's a muggle and is her best friend in Codename: Sailor V.
  • Nice Guy: Kind and caring, to the point where she's become the vice-president of a volunteer club. She's so nice that Artemis once wished she were Sailor V instead.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. She shares the name Sorano with a boy in Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary. As an expy of Amano and Umino, it's probably his surname too.
  • Two Girls and a Guy: Minako, Hikaru, and Amano are a trio of close friends.

    Gurikazu Amano 

Gurikazu Amano

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura_de_tela_2023_10_17_131119.png

Minako and Hikaru's nerdy classmate who looks and acts almost the same to Umino in the main series. The main difference between them is that Amano manages to help out Sailor V a couple of times.


  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Thanks to his habits, Amano is one of the few characters able to avoid the Dark Agency's plans to drain energy, and at one point he even manages to help Sailor V defeat the Monster of the Week.
  • Distressed Dude: Sometimes Sailor V has to rescue him, but he's avoided it as much, either by savviness or because they didn't want to go after him.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: He is implied to have had a crush on Minako.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: His annoying nerdy ways have made him this in his school, just like Umino. Though Minako and Hikaru seem to regard him as a friend.
  • Heroic Bystander: The biggest difference between Umino and Amano is that Amano has actively helped Sailor V. When she got trapped in her own video game, he helped by taking the controls to direct her and help her fight the youma.
  • Last-Name Basis: Everyone calls him Amano.
  • Not Worth Killing: Usually a non-killing example, but the Dark Agency tended to avoid targeting him on purpose because they found him unattractive.
  • Opaque Nerd Glasses: Just like Umino, his huge glasses show a goofy spiral design instead of his eyes.
  • Otaku: Yet another thing that he and Umino have in common. It's why his classmates find him annoying.
  • Two Girls and a Guy: Minako, Hikaru, and Amano are a trio of close friends.

    Toshio Wakagi 

Toshio Wakagi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura_de_tela_2023_10_17_131204.png

An officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. He hates Sailor V because she always shows the police up and takes credit for their work while he gets the blame when things go wrong. After a while, he eases up about her a bit and becomes an ally to her, although they're still not really friends.


  • Butt-Monkey: Whether by accident or on purpose, Sailor V seems to screw him over when they both work on the same case. She makes him look bad and his boss berates him by comparing the two.
  • Does Not Like Spam: Really hates sweets like chocolate. It's the only reason why he managed to avoid the spell of eating the Rainbow Chocolates.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: The fact that Sailor V gets all the glory and he gets all the blame from his boss has made him pretty resentful of the fact.
  • Expy: He looks like a more masculine version of Haruka Tenoh, aka Sailor Uranus. Like her, he is technically on the same side as Minako against evil, but he's dismissive of her, and they're not really allies until after some character development.
  • Friend on the Force: The "friend" part is debatable, but he eventually becomes this to Sailor V once he warms up to her a little.
  • Inspector Javert: Wanted Sailor V in prison because, although she basically does his job for him, she's still a vigilante.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: As much as Sailor V does his job better than him, she's still a vigilante and there are laws about things like that. Too bad his boss is a fan of her.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's frustrated with Sailor V and sees her as an annoying vigilante, but as a police officer, he devotes his life to keeping the city safe, and he does warm up to Sailor V a bit once he gets used to her.
  • Noble Bigot with a Badge: Can be hostile and closedminded to Sailor V, but ultimately is one of these. In fact, he's implied to have a role in Sailor V getting more respect from other cops.
  • Police Are Useless: Is treated like a Butt-Monkey because Sailor V solves his cases better than he can, so he spends too much time blaming her.
  • The Real Heroes: As a cop who's trained and paid to keep the city safe, he sees himself as one of these and tries to deal with the youma himself. Unfortunately, he's also the Butt-Monkey of the series. Minako, on the other hand, doesn't believe in The Real Heroes, thinking that the cops are just arrogant jerks and that since she has superpowers, she should just deal with it hserlf.
  • Real Men Hate Sugar: He hates sweet foods, which turns out to be lucky when the enemy uses magic chocolates to put people under a spell.
  • Reassigned to Antarctica: Superintendant Sakurada manages to reassign Inspector Wakagi to Siberia at one point. Understandably, he lampshades why the heck the Japanese police force has a Siberian outpost in the first place.
  • Unlucky Everydude: He's just a regular guy trying to do his job, but a superpowered vigilante keepings showing him up on purpose by doing his work for him, which gets him in trouble with his boss and even gets him reassigned to Siberia.

    Natsuna Sakurada 

Natsuna Sakurada

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura_de_tela_2023_10_17_131242.png

Toshio Wakagi's boss, the Superintendent-General of the Metropolitan Police Board. She's a fan of Sailor V and usually blames Wakagi for failing to deal with the crimes of the Dark Agency whether he deserves it or not.


  • Ambiguously Bi: Like Minako, she has a crush on Phantom Ace, but her fangirlhood of Sailor V could be interpreted as an attraction. Her crush on Ace is actually because he reminds her of Sailor V.
  • Ascended Fangirl: Superintendent Sakurada is a closet V fan and would do anything to get her to join the police force. The very end of the manga is basically her succeeding in this goal at last.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: Despite the fact that she's good enough to make Superintendent-General, she prefers to spend her time fangirling over Sailor V than actually doing her job.
  • Cool Big Sis: After learning Minako's identity and becoming her friend, Minako begins to look up to her like an older sister figure.
  • Da Chief: She is Officer Wakagi's boss who holds the rank of Superintendent-General (a real life rank in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police).
  • Expy: She looks a lot like Rei Hino, aka Sailor Mars.
  • Fangirl: A closet fan of Sailor V. So much so that she regularly compares his performance to Sailor V's, always pointing out that the latter is way better.
  • The Fashionista: She's a very fashionable woman who is usually seen wearing outfits and accessories from Chanel.
  • Friend on the Force: Plays this role even more than Wakagi. In his case, it's more like Begrudging Ally on the Force, but Natsuma and Minako are genuine friends, and Natsuna knows Minako's secret identity.
  • Police Are Useless: Mainly because she's more interested in being a Sailor V fan than a productive cop.
  • Secret-Keeper: At one point, she witnesses Minako transform into Sailor V. The two end up becoming close friends and Natsuna tries to recruit her as a cop.
  • Temporal Theme Naming: Shares a seasonal name theme with Haruna Sakurada as well as a surname. Fans theorize that they might be related.
  • Tempting Fate: During the DeBrine chapter, Natsuna mentions the stress of dealing with the Dark Agency and Sailor V has made her lose weight. DeBrine's Rainbow Chocolate soon puts that in reverse.
  • The Knights Who Say "Squee!": One of the highest-ranking police officers in Tokyo, she hero worships Sailor V.

One-shot characters

    Saitou 

Saitou

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura_de_tela_2023_10_17_132340.png

The leader of a teenage gang who appeared once in Codename: Sailor V. Minako had a crush on him, but he was more interested in one of his former teachers. He looks a lot like Kunzite.


  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: He's a delinquent, and Minako develops a crush on him.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Minako had a crush on him, but he was already in love with Okamoto-sensei, his old Home Economics teacher from when he went to Minako's junior high school.
  • Expy: Saito has an uncanny resemblance to Kunzite. Noting that he resembled someone she couldn't remember was one of the earliest instances of Mina recalling her past life. Furthering muddling the situation is that, at one point, Saitou is referred to as "Saitou-kun." Reverse that, and it becomes "Kun-Saitou." On top of that, Kunzite used the alias "Saitou Kun" in one of the musicals.
  • A Father to His Men: To his gang. They understand that he's meant for better things and try to get Minako to get through to him because they want to see him graduate with a clean record.
  • Japanese Delinquents: He's the leader of a gang of delinquents. He's gotten into so many fights that he's in danger of being expelled.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a violent troublemaker, but he cares about his gang and looks out for them. He also claims that Minako is officially under his protection, and anyone who messes with her answers to him.
  • One-Shot Character: Only appears in Act 8 of Codename: Sailor V.
  • Only One Name: His surname is unknown.
  • Teacher/Student Romance: One-sided crush on former teacher Okamoto. Minako convinces him to stop picking fights by disguising herself as Okamoto and telling him. He's so fooled by the disguise that he kisses her.

    Marie Buraidaru 

Marie Buraidaru

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura_de_tela_2023_10_17_132412_0.png

A famous mangaka and the author of a long-running manga-within-a-manga series called Aurora Wedding, which she began when she was only in middle school. Minako is a fan of hers. She has had a crush on her editor for some time, and the two eventually marry.


  • Ascended Fangirl: Apart from being the author of Aurora Wedding, she also writes doujinshi about Phantom Ace. She's admitted to doing yaoi between him and one of the characters from her manga, Coattail Mask.
  • Author Avatar:
    • Her career mirrors that of Naoko Takeuchi, since both are mangaka who based their lead characters on themselves, and both end up as half of a creator couple. Her series Aurora Wedding even serves as a Self-Parody of Sailor Moon.
    • In-universe, she has one in the form of Linda Evangeligeli, the protagonist of Aurora Wedding, whom she based on herself.
  • Beautiful All Along: Without her glasses, she looks exactly like Linda, the main character in her manga.
  • Creator Couple: In-universe, she becomes part of one once she starts dating her editor.
  • Expy:
    • Marie resembles Princess D. Both wear the same swirly-lensed glasses that Umino wears, and both turn out to be beautiful when their glasses come off.
    • The main cast for her series Aurora Wedding, going by their silhouettes, looks just like the ten Sailor Guardians. They even have a Tuxedo Mask stand-in, the protagonist's love interest and protector Coattail Mask.
  • The Glasses Gotta Go: Marie Buraidaru is actually a real beauty and the practical model for her manga's heroine. Her only real problem is her coke-bottle glasses, which she ditches once she starts dating her longtime editor.
  • Identical Stranger: Her editor is a dead ringer for Phantom Ace, which is why she's so obsessed with him. Because of this, both men inspired the princely phantom thief Coattail Mask in her manga.
  • Most Writers Are Writers: A mangaka who writes a Long Running shoujo romance and has a huge obsession with Phantom Ace. She's overworked, needs her editor to keep going on, and has a short talk about how she makes her protagonists the exact opposite of what she is.
  • One-Shot Character: She only appears in one chapter of Codename: Sailor V.
  • Opaque Nerd Glasses: Like Umino and his expies, her swirly glasses hide her eyes.
  • Punny Name: She's the author of a manga called Aurora Wedding. Marie is obvious, but Buraidaru is simply "Bridal" rendered in Japanese style.
  • Show Within a Show: Her manga-within-a-manga series Aurora Wedding about a girl named Linda Evangeligeli. By day, she and her nine sisters run a bridal shop. By night, they fight as warriors of justice.
  • Write Who You Know: In-universe. When she wrote Aurora Wedding, she based the main character, Linda Evangeligeli, off herself. She also based Linda's love interest, Coattail Mask, off her editor, Shinrou Baishaku, because she had a crush on him. Marie finally ends the series with Linda's wedding just as she marries Shinrou in real life.
  • Yaoi Fangirl: As mentioned above, she writes yaoi doujinshi about Phantom Ace and Coattail Mask.

Movie and side-story characters

    In General 
  • Adapted Out: Only two side-stories, "Ami's First Love" and "The Lover of Princess Kaguya", were adapted, so more than half of these characters were left out of the original anime's run.
  • Arc Hero: Some of them serve as new heroes for their movies or side-stories alongside the Sailor Guardians.
  • One-Shot Character: They only appear in a single movie or story. The only exception is Sorano, who appears twice in Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary and has a brief cameo in Act 27 of the manga and Crystal.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Often, they get more focus than most of the main cast for their respective appearances, with Usagi and the others frequently taking a backseat.

Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary

    Gurio Sorano 

Gurio Sorano

A classmate of Chibi-Usa and her friends who appears a couple of times in Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary. He's basically a younger version of Umino.


  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Blonde in the manga, brunette in Crystal, just like Umino.
  • Canon Immigrant: He first appeared in the side series Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary before briefly appearing in the main manga series and Crystal alongside Kyuusuke in Act 27.
  • Composite Character: Possibly in the original English manga releases. Both he and Umino were called Melvin (they share the same given name in the Japanese version, but the translators likely didn't know that because he was only ever called Sorano in the manga itself). Aside from a difference in height, the two look almost identical in the manga, so it was easy enough to pass them off as the same character.
  • Expy: Of Umino and Amano. Messy hair and spiraled nerdy glasses? Check. Smart but annoying personality? Check. Seen as both a friend and a nuisance by his classmates? Check. Naoko Takeuchi seemed to enjoy throwing in characters like this.
  • Last-Name Basis: Like Umino and Amano, he goes by his surname.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. He shares the same first name as Gurio Umino and the surname as Hikaru Sorano, Minako's best friend in Codename: Sailor V.
  • Opaque Nerd Glasses: Just like Umino and Amano, his eyes are hidden beneath spirals on his glasses. And, like them and the girls' views of them, it's probably just meant to represent how Chibi-Usa sees Sorano. Whether he's also handsome without the glasses like them is anyone's guess.
  • Odd Friendship: With his classmate Kyuusuke. Kyuusuke is athletic and a bit of a jerk who finds Sorano a geek and a bit annoying, yet the two of them can be seen hanging out anyway.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Of Umino. Umino, being a teenager, would be out of place in Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary, which focuses on Chibi-Usa and her classmates, so Naoko Takeuchi simply created Sorano to fill same role in the stories.

    Makoto Hanmatsuura 

Makoto Hanmatsuura

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura_de_tela_2023_10_17_202338.png

A kind, rotund owner of a pawn shop that has been in his family for many generations. Appears just once in Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary in a Contest Winner Cameo. When the villain of the story appears, he puts on a costume to imitate Tuxedo Mask and save his customers.


  • Ambiguously Human: He could just be a regular guy without powers who decides to just imitate Tuxedo Mask, but the antenna-like formation in his hair and the fact that he single-handedly takes on an evil spirit makes you wonder.
  • Big Fun: He's fat and a fun, cheerful guy.
  • Family Business: His pawn shop has been in the family for generations, and he claims that he's the 18th-generation owner. This means that his family was running the business at least since the early Edo period, if not earlier. It turns out that his family has been running it for this long to make sure that the genius loci that inhabits the land is not disturbed.
  • Friendly Shopkeeper: He runs a pawn shop called the Hammer Price Shrine, is very friendly and welcoming to his customers, and even gives discounts to regulars like Chibi-Usa and her friends.
  • Hair Antennae: A variation. It's just a single strand of antenna-like hair instead of the dual strands usually used, but it looks more like an antenna than most examples.
  • Heroic Bystander: He saves Naruru and Ruruna from being hit by a truck by pushing them out of the way. And when an evil spirit captures them in a net, he puts on a mask and cape to imitate Tuxedo Mask, going by Debutcho Mask (Chubby Mask) and frees them.
  • The Klutz: He's pretty clumsy and known to slip and fall down a lot, although he still manages to help save the day.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. He shares the name Makoto with Sailor Jupiter (spelled with different kana, though). Makoto Hanmatsuura was actually a Contest Winner Cameo, and his name was a coincidence (it's a unisex name, and it's not that uncommon a Japanese name).
  • Papa Wolf: Whether as himself or his masked alter-ego, he steps in when the young girls who visit his shop are in danger.
  • Personality Blood Types: He's type B. He shows the active, passionate traits typical of type B characters in his heroic action.
  • Poor Man's Substitute: In-universe, downplayed. Like Umino's Tuxedo Umino Mask, his Debutcho Mask identity looks like a cheap knockoff of Tuxedo Mask and lacks his grace, but he still manages to save Naruru and Ruruna from a trap, and the two of them look at him with hearts in their eyes after this.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: He reveals to the reader that his hobby is embroidery.
  • Saving the Orphanage: In a spin on the usual trope, the land developers who trick him into selling successfully knock down his shop's building...and release an ancient spirit from the land. Naruru and Ruruna rip the contract up, and Sailor Moon magically rebuilds the shop bigger and better than ever.
  • We Sell Everything: Since his shop is a pawn shop, you can expect to find all kinds of things there, but this one sells, among other things, expensive brand-name clothes and perfume, as well as rare Sailor Moon dolls and costumes (the doll collection actually includes Shingo, Kenji, and human Diana for some reason).

    Naruru Osaka and Ruruna Kobe 

Naruru Osaka and Ruruna Kobe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rurunaruru.jpg

Two energetic school friends of Chibi-Usa who look and act like materialistic teenage girls. Naruru is Naru's younger sister and Ruruna is Naruru's best friend.


  • Adapted Out: Naruru is Naru's younger sister, but in the first anime, Naru is declared to be an only child. Then again, when that was established, Naruru hadn't even appeared yet in the manga, so the anime creators wouldn't have known about her.
  • Age-Inappropriate Dress: Their outfits are too sexy and revealing for elementary school students. Though they're drawn to look like well-developed teens, so it's less noticeable.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Naruru is Naru's younger sister, though we only see them together for two panels.
  • Brand X: Ruruna is an avid buyer of "Channel" brand items, and Naruru is an avid buyer of "Guccicci" brand items.
  • Buffy Speak: The two of them use words like "Haggened" or "Frappaccinoed" to abbreviate that they got ice cream or frappuccinos, among other things.
  • Cosplay Otaku Girl: The two of them like to dress up as Sailor Soldiers.
  • Damsel in Distress: Though they try to help fight in their appearance with their own Sailor titles, they end up getting trapped in a net pretty easily.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Naruru Osaka's from Osaka. Ruruna Kobe's from Kobe.
  • Fangirl: Both of them are fans of Sailor Moon.
  • Fiery Redhead: Naruru. But in an energetic way.
  • Genki Girl: Both of them are very cheerful and energetic eight-year-olds.
  • Gyaru Girl: They have tanned skin and stylized hair, dress in short skirts, high heels, and have clearly visible cleavage.
  • Heroic Bystander: Even though they don't have powers, they end up joining Chibi-Usa in the fight as fake Sailor Guardians.
  • Location Theme Naming: Their surnames are the names of two Japanese cities.
  • Sdrawkcab Name: In hiragana, Ruruna is Naruru spelled backwards.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary introduces Naruru as a flashy and tanned Cosplay Otaku Gyaru Girl who's rather popular with boys. This is entirely in contrast with Naru, who's a rather plain girl and more conservatively dressed.
  • Valley Girl: Their dialogue is often translated this way, though technically they're actually kogals.
  • Younger Than They Look: The two of them are supposed to be Chibi-Usa's classmates, but they look and act like ditzy teenage kogals. They're also much taller than Chibi-Usa and have visible cleavage.

"The Lover of Princess Kaguya" / Sailor Moon S: The Movie

    Kakeru Oozora 

Kakeru Oozora

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a_kakeru_5196.gif
Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (JP), Jeff Lumby (Cloverway), Chris Hackney (Viz) (EN), René García (LatAm)

An astronomer who appears only in the side story "The Lover of Princess Kaguya" and the S movie that was based on it. He long dreamed of a princess on the moon, and after finding a crystal meteorite from a comet that he discovered, it begins sapping his energy. He is in an ongoing relationship with astronaut Himeko Nayotake.


  • Abled in the Adaptation: The movie makes no mention of his heart condition.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: Kakeru was cold in the original manga story and his tension with Himeko focused more on his heart problems and how he gave up on being an astronaut. Here, he flips his shit at Himeko simply because she doesn't believe Princess Kaguya really does live on the moon.
  • Age-Gap Romance: Kakeru is twenty-nine and Himeko is twenty-two, making him seven years older than her.
  • Agent Mulder: Even though he's a scientist, he believes in fairy tales, princesses from outer space, and other fantastic things.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Luna falls in love with Kakeru, but she knows that he's already in a relationship with someone else, so she doesn't push it.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: He was convinced that Princess Kaguya from outer space was real and dreamed of meeting her. He didn't count on her being a villain who was only interested in freezing planets for her collection.
  • Big Damn Kiss: After he realizes who Luna really is in her human form, the two share a beautiful kiss while floating in space.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: With Himeko. Despite their seven-year age gap, they knew each other when they were young, and now, they're a couple.
  • Clingy Macguffin: The crystal meteorite he discovers and takes home turns out to be the missing piece of Kaguya's comet and it begins draining his life energy. Luna tries to take it away, but it's attached itself to his life force.
  • Diving Save: When Luna is almost hit by a car, he jumps in, grabs her, and brings her out of the way just in time.
  • Dream-Crushing Handicap: As a child, he dreamed of being an astronaut, and he even built a rocket at age 12. Unfortunately, he has a heart condition that barred him from astronaut training, a very realistic phenomenon in any astronaut corps.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: After Luna transforms into a human and meets up with Kakeru, she gives him a personal tour of Earth’s orbit to fulfill his dream of seeing the princess of the Moon. As Kakeru admires "Kaguya", he noticed two things about her: she had a crescent moon shape on her head, and a yellow ribbon around her neck. This made him realize the woman before him is in fact Luna.
  • Florence Nightingale Effect: After he saves Luna from a traffic accident and nurses her back to health, she falls in love with him.
  • Flowers of Romance: At the end of the movie, when Himeko's mission is over, he greets her at the airport with roses.
  • Improbable Age: He's only twenty-nine years old, but he's already achieved degrees in several fields of science (see below for the list).
  • Jerkass Ball: Kakeru is your average Nice Guy who risks his life to save Luna from being run over by a car but at his worst, he coldly tells off Himeko his girlfriend when the latter attempt to persuade him to let go of his lifelong dream of meeting Kaguya-hime which could make him a successful astronaut but he managed to mend his relationship with her after Princess Snow Kaguya's defeat when Luna pretending to be Princess Kaguya tells him she loves him but also said that Himeko also loves him too and must be with her at all times.
  • Meaningful Name: His full name literally means "flying in space".
  • Nice Guy: A caring person who risks his own life to save Luna and takes care of her afterwards, and he unconditionally loves his girlfriend and their unborn child.
  • Omnidisciplinary Scientist: He has degrees in space aviation, engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine.
  • Refused by the Call: In the manga, despite having several degrees that could qualify him for it, he was refused for the astronaut corps because of his heart condition.
  • Rescue Romance: Luna falls in love with him after he saves her from being run over.

    Himeko Nayotake 

Himeko Nayotake

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/himeko_1714.gif
Voiced by: Megumi Hayashibara (JP), Jennifer Gould (Cloverway), Eden Riegel (Viz) (EN), Monica Villaseñor (LatAm)

Kakeru's girlfriend and a famous astronaut. She's a very realistic person who thinks her boyfriend should get over his fairy tale fantasies.


  • Adaptational Wimp: Himeko had more of a role to play in the manga's conflict than she does in the movie. In the manga, when she returns to Kakeru's lab and sees how much his crystal's grown, she realizes immediately the thing is negatively affecting him and smashes it to bits, declaring that she'll definitely destroy the meteor. Nothing like that happens in the movie.
  • Age-Gap Romance: Kakeru is twenty-nine and Himeko is twenty-two, making him seven years older than her.
  • Agent Scully: She refuses to believe in Kakeru's fantasies like a princess on the moon named Princess Kaguya and thinks he should be more realistic. To her credit, near the end of the movie, when she sees the crystal light from the moon, she wonders if might be his princess.
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: She lives in a world where Magical Girl Warriors fight space aliens and monsters all the time. But a princess living on the moon is something she just can't accept.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: With Kakeru. In the manga version of the Princess Kaguya story, she's already pregnant with their child when she goes to space.
  • Closer to Earth: She's very logical and mature, in contrast to the more "dreamy" Kakeru.
  • Improbable Age: She's an astronaut at twenty-two years old. The manga remarks that she's the youngest Japanese woman to go into space, but that's an understatement. Until 2021, no one under twenty-five had ever even been into space.
  • Meaningful Name: The "take" ("bamboo") and "Hime" ("princess") parts of her name are references to the original Princess Kaguya myth.
  • Pregnant Badass: In the manga, she's actually been allowed to make a spaceflight while pregnant with her and Kakeru's unborn child. In real life, she wouldn't be allowed to do that.

"Casablanca Memory"

    Kaidou-san 

Kaidou-san

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura_de_tela_2023_10_17_075616.png

The secretary of Rei's father who hopes to take over for him one day. Kaidou joins his boss to visit Rei on her birthdays, and it was hinted that he and Rei had feelings for each other, but nothing came of it.


  • All Love Is Unrequited: In the manga, Rei is heavily hinted to have had feelings for him despite her general distrust of men, but he's already engaged to another politician's daughter.
  • Big Brother Mentor: To Rei. He's at least a few years older than her and one of the few men that she admires.
  • Hypocrite: He tells Rei he's devoted to his career, and he doesn't want to get married just to neglect his family. But by the story's end, he's engaged to another politician's daughter, and Rei realizes he's going to become just like her father: a career man who breaks his family's heart.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: A 15-year-old girl (Rei) and a young adult (Kaidou).
  • Only One Name: Only ever called Kaidou-san. It's not quite clear if Kaidou is really his given name or surname. The honorific -san can be used with either.
  • Right-Hand Hottie: The personal secretary of Rei's father and a very attractive guy.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: In his sole appearance, the short story "Casablanca Memory", he consistently wears a suit and tie.

"Ami's First Love"

Kurume Suri/Mercurius

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (JP), Kyle McCarley (EN)

A genius student appearing only in "Ami's First Love". Ami was so determined to beat him for the top spot of the class that she became obsessed with the idea that he was her rival and even the enemy. Her friends mistook this obsession for a crush.


  • Birds of a Feather: Umino reveals that he and Kurume are good friends, and they have similar looks, personalities and intelligence.
  • Good All Along: Ami obsessively thinks that Bannon, the villain of the week, is Mercurius, but he's really a good guy just like most other civilian characters.
  • Messy Hair: Like Umino, his hair always sticks up wildly.
  • Mistaken for Romance: The girls think that he's Ami's first crush, but Ami insists that he's only a rival to her. Even the villain of the week thinks Ami's in love with him. Keep in mind that Ami and Kurume haven't even met, and at the time Ami doesn't know even known if Mercurius is a boy or a girl.
  • Opaque Nerd Glasses: He wears spiral-lens glasses just like Umino, square ones in his case.
  • Punny Name: His name contains multiple puns. Aside from the Sdrawkcab Name, his pen name is Mercury in Latin. That's another reason why Ami, who signs her test scores Mercury, sees her as a rival. His surname Suri contains the kanji for "mathematics", and in the Mixx manga, his pen name is "Mercurious", which he claims is because he's always been curious.
  • The Reveal: Near the end of the special/side story, he turns out to be an ordinary nerdy student who just happens to do as well as Ami. Ami, however, only realizes that the villain Bannon wasn't Mercurius after she destroys her and Mercurius continues tying with Ami for grades.
  • Sdrawkcab Alias: Like Ami and some other students, Kurume signs his tests with an alias. His alias Mercurius is spelled "Me-ru-ke-ri-su" in katakana, which is his name (in Japanese name order) spelled backwards.
  • Thoroughly Mistaken Identity: In a case of the Idiot Ball, Ami becomes so obsessed with the idea that Mercurius is her rival that she decides that Bonnun is Mercurius. Bonnun doesn't know what Ami is talking about before Ami destroys her.
  • Unknown Rival: Ami sees Mercurius as a rival just because he always matches her test scores, but he has no idea what's going on and doesn't even know who Ami is.

One of the fairies in the SuperS movie working for Queen Badiane. After he learns what her true plans are, he has a Heel Realization, meets and befriends Chibi-Usa, and helps the Sailor Guardians stop his former boss.


  • Canon Foreigner: Created for the SuperS movie, although Naoko Takeuchi did do the concept art of him.
  • Heel Realization: Queen Badiane told him that she wants to take children to a realm where they would happily dream whatever they wanted, but when he learns that she wants to drain their dream energy for her own power, he turns on her.
  • Interspecies Romance: With Chibi-Usa. She's a human with Lunarian blood, and he's a fairy.
  • Magic Music: He uses his flute to make cookies dance and could hypnotize people.
  • Meaningful Name: Fits both the gemstone theme of most villains (his name is French for pearl) and the sweet food theme of the SuperS movie villains (from tapioca pearls).
  • Mystical White Hair: His hair is white, and he has magical powers.
  • Puppy Love: Again, with Chibi-Usa. Actually, they're both Really 700 Years Old, but it still counts because they're both mentally and physically children.
  • Really 700 Years Old: Just like the other fairies in the movie, he's apparently centuries old and an immortal.
  • Token Good Teammate: Of the fairies in the SuperS movie. Unlike them, he was never evil, just deceived, and when Queen Badiane's real motives were revealed, he does a Heel–Face Turn.

"Parallel Sailor Moon"

    Kousagi Tsukino/Parallel Sailor Moon 

Kousagi Tsukino/Parallel Sailor Moon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kousagi_tsukino.jpg

A character who only appears in the non-canonical story Parallel Sailor Moon as Usagi's second daughter. In the rest of the franchise, Chibi-Usa is an only child. Like her mother, she's not very bright, but she has a big heart. She becomes a Sailor Guardian when she meets her own cat advisor, but her fighting techniques are a bit unorthodox.


  • Ambiguous Situation: We don't know about her Sailor title or powers. Given the fact that she's the other daughter of Usagi and Mamoru, it's possible that she's Sailor Earth, since Chibi-Usa is already the new Sailor Moon and there is no one else to inherit Mamoru's Sailor Crystal.
  • Animal Motifs: Rabbits, like her mother. She even keeps several of them as pets.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: To Chibi-Usa. Being younger, clumsier, and less intelligent than her, Chibi-Usa tends to look down on Kousagi and sees her as a fool.
  • Big Eater: Something she inherited from her mother. Her father even remarks that since she can eat anything, her tongue could save the world.
  • Butt-Monkey: The Parallel Inners see her as someone they can treat this way. For example, if she's going to shop with them, they force her to carry all their bags. They also force her to look after a cat they just found, despite being well aware that she's afraid of cats.
  • The Ditz: She's not very smart or sensible.
  • Elseworlds: Kousagi only exists in a one-shot story that was included in the Materials Collection. The story was later reprinted in Sailor Moon Short Stories Vol.2.
  • The Fool: Despite not being very bright and acting silly, she still manages to save the day when a giant rabbit head attacks.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: The Parallel Inners only hang around with her because their mothers are friends. They dislike her enough to ditch her the minute an opportunity presents itself.
  • Generation Xerox: She clearly takes after Usagi more than Chibi-Usa does.
  • Genki Girl: Yet another trait she has in common with Usagi is her cheerfulness and fun-loving nature.
  • Hereditary Hairstyle: Like her sister, she takes after her mother's hairstyle, though she puts her own spin on it by wearing double odangos.
  • Improbable Weapon User: She manages to summon all the cats of Japan to form one giant cat to devour the giant rabbit enemy.
  • Insane Troll Logic: She somehow believes that the natural enemy of rabbits are cats. She probably thought this up because she has an affinity toward rabbits and cats are her weakness.
  • In-Series Nickname: Her sister calls her "Chibi".
  • The Klutz: She's very clumsy, even more so than her mother.
  • Meaningful Name: The kanji of her name translated means "little rabbit".
  • Nom de Mom: Her surname is Tsukino, like her mother and older sister. It's possible that Mamoru takes Usagi's last name in the future when they're married.
  • My Friends... and Zoidberg: The daughters of the Inner Soldiers only let her hang out with them because their moms are friends.
  • Or Was It a Dream?: At the end of her story , she wonders whether her adventure was a dream or not.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: A Nice Girl with pink hair just like her sister. She's actually the only Parallel Sailor Guardian who's nice at all.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The other Parallel Inners consistently hate her, but after their powers awaken, they end up becoming teammates. A variant also occurs with Kousagi's cat, although it's not so much arguing as Kousagi can't stand being around her.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She takes after her Uncle Shingo in that she's afraid of cats. She is forced to face it when she gets one as a Mentor Mascot and has to summon loads of them to fight evil.

Parallel Inners

Four girls who are the eldest respective children of the Inners. Called Ami Jr., Rei Jr, Mako, and Mina, they only appear Parallel Sailor Moon. They see Kousagi as an idiot and a nuisance, and they only use her as someone to kick around. In fact, they're pretty critical and apathetic towards most things. Like Kousagi, they become Sailor Guardians.


  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Rei Jr., who has long dark hair and does not like to socialize, preferring to nap instead.
  • Bookworm: Like Ami, Ami Jr. likes to study, but she has poor handwriting because she relies on computers too much.
  • Boyish Short Hair: Ami Jr. wears her hair this way like her mother.
  • The Cynic: They're pretty critical of their parents and other people they know and don't seem to care much about anything in life other than pursuing their own interests.
  • The Fashionista: Mako loves shopping and fashion as much as Makoto does.
  • Generation Xerox: Basically, they are carbon copies of their mothers just like Kousagi. Their names are even Ami Jr., Rei Jr., Mako, and Mina.
  • Geodesic Cast: With Kousagi, they become basically a collective copy of the inners. With the same looks, same powers, but their personalities is where they differ.
  • Girl Posse: They behave like one, at least in the fact that they're a group of pretty girls who hang out together and look down on other people, but it's not clear who would be the Alpha Bitch if there is one.
  • Hereditary Hairstyle: They look just like their mothers, hairstyles included. Ami Jr. has boyish short hair, Rei Jr. has long hair without any adornments, Mako wears a ponytail, and Mina has long hair with a bow in it.
  • Invisible Parents: Their fathers are never seen or even mentioned by name. But we know Ami Jr.'s father is a doctor who works side by side with her mother, Rei Jr.'s father is both a Shinto priest and teacher, Mako's father helps run Makoto's flower and cake shop, and Mina's father is a sitcom director.
  • The Illegible: Ami Jr.'s handwriting is said to be very sloppy since she uses computers so much.
  • Jerkass: All four of them act like this to Kousagi. They don't really like her and ditch her whenever they can. Aside from their rudeness to Kousagi, they also show disrespect towards their mothers, remarking that housewives have nothing better to do than to talk for hours on the phone with their friends and plan weekly meetings with them. Rei Jr. calls their group, the Sailor Muscles Club, "silly", and Ami Jr. even calls them losers.
  • Magical Girl Warrior: All of them are Sailor Guardians, just like their mothers in the main continuity.
  • Nom de Mom: All of them go by their mothers' surnames. There's no in-universe explanation given for this. Again, like with Kousagi, it is possible that their fathers took their mothers' surnames since Mina called their fathers "adopted fiancés".
  • Opaque Nerd Glasses: Ami Jr.'s eyes are not visible when she wears her glasses.
  • Pet the Dog: About the only time they're ever shown being nice to someone is when they comment on how cute the pink cat is.
  • The Prankster: Mina is just as rowdy and troublemaking as her mother.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: Mako wears one but holds it in place with a ribbon instead of a hair tie like Makoto.
  • Unnamed Parent: Their unseen fathers are never named.
  • Younger Than They Look: They're supposed to be eight years old, but they look more like young teenagers.

    The Pink Cat 

The Pink Cat

Kousagi's own cat advisor. Like the other cats, she has a crescent moon on her forehead and awakens the powers of her charge, but not much is revealed about her, not even her name.


  • Alien Animals: Although it's not confirmed, she's probably from Mau just like the other cats.
  • Cat Girl: When she takes a human form, there appears to be what looks like cat ears in her hair.
  • Cats Are Magic: Like the other cats, she's got magic powers and is the one who awakens Kousagi as a Sailor Guardian.
  • Cheerful Child: Even finding out her new charge can't stand cats doesn't seem to upset her.
  • Cute Kitten: The Parallel Inners even comment on how cute she is.
  • Familiar: Becomes one to Kousagi, although she'd probably rather have a rabbit than a cat.
  • Humanity Ensues: Just like the other cats, she can take on a human form. Hers is actually a bit more catlike than the others (see above).
  • Mentor Mascot: To Kousagi. She awakens her as a Sailor Guardian.
  • No Name Given: Her name is not revealed. Although if Luna, Artemis, and Diana are any indication, there are plenty of good names to choose from.
  • Non-Human Sidekick: To Kousagi, until she takes human form.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: Although the manga is black and white, the dialogue explicitly calls her pink.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: In a variant, she and Kousagi don't actually argue, but they still struggle to work together because Kousagi can't stand cats.
