History Characters / CaptainHarlock

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Toshiro. He takes up a godfather role for his daughter.

* RagtagBunchofMisfits: almost every named crew member is eccentric, will do whatever the hell they want outside of battle (including racing rats and playing go in the middle of the hall), not afraid of back-talking or even disobeying Harlock to an extent, but when things get serious, everyone from the First Mate to the Cook all buckle down and show why the Arcadia is the most feared ship in the known universe. As Kei notes, almost every new crew member is shocked and dismayed by how disorganized and ''weird'' the crew is until they enter battle.

* CynicIdealistDuo: The Idealist to Harlock's Cynic. While Harlock is willing to write Earth off, especially when dealing with the idiotic prime minister, Tochiro believed so strongly that he made it clear that he wanted Mayu to be raised on Earth in the event of his death.

* TheAlcoholic: More so in the 78 version, he described himself as an alcoholic and is always seen drinking [[GargleBlasters potent drinks]], strangely despite all his drinking, he [[NeverGetsDrunk never is visibly tipsy, let alone drunk]]

* TheAlcoholic: Miime's race drink alcohol as a food source. As they're aliens, they don't get intoxicated.

* StrangeAlienBiology: Alcohol is a staple food for her people, and she's shown to glow gold when particularly upset or embarrassed - and it's unknown how she manages to drink despite having no visible mouth.

* InexplicableCulturalTies: For whatever reason, their black sphere was engraved with Mayan hieroglyphic designs. Later on implies there's a bit of an {{ancientastronauts}} situation.

* AncientAstronauts: While most Mazones arrived in recent years, a few like the [[Yandere one in the Arctic]] and the one in the Sargasso Sea have been on Earth for up to tens of thousands of years either laying dormant or trying to make Earth suitable as a second homeland. Unlike most examples they don't seem to have influence human advancement all that much.

* InexplicableCulturalTies: For whatever reason, their black sphere was engraved with Mayan hieroglyphic designs.

* AmbiguouslyChristian: She attends the St. Giovanna school, a Christian chapel school perched on top of a cliff. Unfortunately, the school's [[SadistTeacher super-intendent]] loves to bully Mayu in insidious ways.
* ArchEnemy: A one-sided example in the form of Kiruta. As he desperately wants to capture Harlock, he despises Mayu as he's her Godfather (and the only Earthling he communicates with) and treats her horribly. To coax her to call for Harlock, he encourages her to do hard labour mopping the floors of her school, and also visibly grins at her crying when his eagle kills her pet bird.

* LittleMissBadass: When Kiruda throws her beloved ocarina to the rooftop of the school, Mayu refuses to call for Harlock (like he wants her to) and climbs to the top herself. Even as the other kids scream at her to stop and it's dangerous, she persists anyway and manages to unhook it from the pyre. Mayu falls, but thanks to a pennant hitting Earth at the same time, her fall is cushioned by the strong winds of it's impact.
** Later on, she proved to be a defiant captive to Kiruda - playing her Ocarina in an attempt to call Harlock despite threats to her, and even going as far as to refuse water in '''The Sahara''' as so he couldn't use her against her guardian.
* HalfHumanHybrid: She has an alien mother, Queen Esmeraldas, and a human father, Tochiro Ooyama.

* RuggedScar: On her right cheek. It is likely due to the fact that she's a long-lived warrior SpacePirate, which means she's seen her fair share of battles.

* AlienPrincess: Averted. Her name, "Queen", is a reference to her ship. She actually doesn't have anything to do with royalty - unlike her sister,

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She is a blonde-haired alien queen who fights for the side of good. [[AdaptationalDyeChange averted in earlier series]] that depicts her with ginger hair, she became blonde once it's established that [[Anime/GalaxyExpress999 Maetel]] is her twin sister.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubsitute: ''Arcadia of My Youth'' introduces La Mime, whose appearance and personality is similar to Miime along with being the last of her kind but she is an Allosaurian not a Juran and was a secretary to the bad guys before defecting.

* TheStoic: Harlock is not one to smile, let alone emote. This makes his scenes of ManlyTears more impactful.

** In ''Arcadia of my Youth'', she had a sister who also survived the Juran genocide, La Mime.

* AlienPrincess: Averted. Her name, "Queen", is a reference to her ship. She actually doesn't have anything to do with royalty.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She is a blonde-haired alien queen who fights for the side of good.

* ProneToTears: Being a small child, Mayu tends to cry when she's distressed. However, given the sort of things she's had to go through (losing her father before she was born, the school staff and the students resenting her for being affiliated with Harlock, and even military staff like Director Kiruta taking out their anger at her, all at the tender age of seven), it's not hard to see why.

* TheDreaded: People who know about him tend to be ''terrified'' of his wrath, though he's only violent to those who .

* KeepingTheHandicap: [[ScarsAreForever He refuses to have his scar removed]] because it's a part of his personal image.

* HiddenDepths: Miime favours playing the harp. She often carries it with her around Arcadia.

* DubNameChange: To "Albator" in France, the reason being that "Capitaine Harlock" would have sounded too much like "[[Franchise/{{Tintin}} Capitaine Haddock]]".

* MoralityPet: Mayu, the daughter of Tochiro Oyama and Emeraldas. As he's a family friend of the Oyamas, he visits her often. He once gave her an ocarina as a gift.

* KidsAreCruel: The kids at her school are a pair of cunts who mock her for having a ''dead pet bird''.

* OtherworldlyTechnicolourHair: She is half-alien and has blue hair.

* EnragedByIndiocy: The Prime Minister's buffonry enrages even him, and he's a loyal lapdog to the government for most of the show.

* BarelyChangedDubNameChange: The English dub changes her name from Kei to Kayla, but has everyone nickname her "Kay".

* CutenessPriximity: When Mayu has a letter to send to Harlock, he becomes quite giddy seeing the detailed envelope.

** He's also a horrible person to Mayu, going out of his way to be horrible to her when she's innocent of his grudge against the Captain. He turns a blind eye to the school staff mistreating her and forcing her to carry buckets of water from the river to the school back and forth, hoping that she would buckle under the pressure and
* DubNameChange: He became '''Alexander Kazmarov''' in the English dub.

* DubNameChange: Kei was known as '''Nausica''' in the French dub.
