!Akira Hayasaka
!!!'''Ultimate Hitman/Internet Sensation'''
!!!Voiced by: Luucarii
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neutral_4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Serpent Beneath The Flower'']]

With her sassy nature and witty humour, it’s no wonder that Akira became the Ultimate Internet Sensation just weeks after her debut online. Her level headedness made her unique to her adoring fans as they admire her authenticity.

Despite this, it’s strange that nobody’s ever seen her outside of her videos and conventions. Some people jokingly theorise that she’s a stealthy hitman for the yakuza, but that’s just a ludicrous theory, right?

!Chiemi Hattori
!!!'''Ultimate Fashion Designer'''
!!!Voiced by: fluerdechant
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neutral_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Vivacious Reveller'']]

It’s easy to fall for Chiemi’s captivating charm with her beaming optimism and gregarious attitude. Born to a model and the owner of a clothing brand, fashion is second nature to her. She created her own ethical clothing line at the age of fifteen, earning her the title of the Ultimate Fashion Designer.

Chiemi is hyperactive, and she loves to party and plan all sorts of events — as long as she’s not the one having to clean up.

[[folder:Chou Yoshida]]
!!!'''Ultimate J-pop Idol'''
!!!Voiced By: Ellie
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/idol_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Fleeting Butterfly'']]


Chou Yoshida, commonly known as Ultimate J-Pop Idol ‘Chousiria,’ is a bubbly sweetheart that has stolen the hearts of many. Her adorable looks can easily smite any person who looks her way, so it’s no surprise her popularity quickly arose when she originally debuted in her old idol group.

Even without her idol persona, Chou is still well mannered and polite, almost to the point where she can be too formal with others. She’s also a very patient individual, and doesn’t speak out when she’s annoyed. When angered, however, is an entirely different story.

[[folder:Itsumi Yoko]]
!!!'''Ultimate Game Designer'''
!!!Voiced By: Mi-Mi
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shygirl.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Bashful Bunny'']]

Avid game enthusiasts around the world have heard of ‘Bani’, an alias used by the Ultimate Game Developer, Itsumi Yoko. Her work has appealed to both people looking for entertaining gameplay and those who want to experience a story that tugs at their heartstrings.

Although she is praised online, in person Itsumi’s distant and defensive nature makes her hard to approach. It would be easier for her to open up once she’s given a comfortable space and some time alone.

[[folder:Izanami Hoshimiya]]
!!!'''Ultimate ???'''
!!!Voiced by: Aji
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2023_05_16_30305_am.png]]
[[caption-width-right:310:''Goddess of Creation'']]

Behind Izanami’s outgoing demeanor and charming smile lies an enigma. She seems to have forgotten her Ultimate talent, and her prowess in numerous fields doesn’t help to narrow it down either.

Although Izanami may be amiable and playful, finding amusement in teasing others, something far more grave lurks behind her pleasant exterior.

[[folder:Otome Hanayama]]
!!!'''Ultimate Manga Artist'''
!!!Voiced by: Jason Brady
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ma_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Wallflower Witch'']]

Starting her manga career at the young age of fifteen, Otome earned the title of the Ultimate Manga Artist after her psychological horror manga sold three million copies worldwide. Her work never ceases to amaze considering her astonishing art and storytelling capabilities.

However, Otome is the epitome of insolence as she constantly spits vulgar words out of her mouth, but her grumpiness stems from a lack of proper rest due to her insanely packed schedule. When she’s refreshed, Otome is surprisingly down-to-earth and laidback—just a casual teenager.

[[folder:Rei Fukuno]]
!!!'''Ultimate Itako'''
!!!Voiced by: Brookuayy
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quirky.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Emissary of the Deceased'']]

Born into an extremely traditional household in the countryside, Rei was raised and trained to become an Itako due to her blindness. She gained recognition after people decided to ask a spirit medium like her to solve a murder, resulting in more visitors to her house, and thus, she eventually earned the title of the Ultimate Itako.

Rei may be cute and bubbly, but she surprisingly has a god complex of sorts, unwilling to talk to others if they aren’t as talented as her. Reckless and moving to the beat of her own drum, she does not listen to the others’ advice and charges into dangerous situations without thinking twice.

[[folder:Shion Morita]]
!!!'''Ultimate Criminologist'''
!!!Voiced by: Artimmiss
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twinb.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Everlasting Aster'']]


Although Shion doesn’t remember anything about her talent, she’s known to the masses as the Ultimate Criminologist who single handedly curbed the crime rate of her own prefecture.

Compassionate and caring, Shion is quite friendly and loved by all, but she’s the farthest thing from a pushover. She may be nice, but she will lecture those who do anything offensive or ill-mannered. While Shion is a sweetheart to others, she treats her younger twin in a vastly different manner.

[[folder:Hideyoshi Kurosawa]]
!!!'''Ultimate Taekwondo Practitioner'''
!!!Voiced by: Project Alpha 22
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mus.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Wolf of Kanto'']]

Bursting with vitality is the high-spirited Ultimate Taekwondo Practitioner, Hideyoshi Kurosawa. Winning every competition under his belt, Hideyoshi is adept in both poomsae and sparring, captivating anyone who lays their eyes on him in the dojang.

Despite his often daring attitude, he possesses a surprising level of maturity that allows him to be a great leader. Sociable and outgoing, it’s no wonder why people enjoy being around him, even the loners. Although Hideyoshi originates from a wealthy background, he gets excited about free items.

[[folder:Katsuhiko Minamoto]]
!!!'''Ultimate Debater'''
!!!Voiced by: Jason Hall
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/damon.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Unbeatable Emperor'']]

Formalities and etiquette are a priority in Katsuhiko’s life. Shrewd and assertive, he tolerates no amount of idiocy and discusses all matters seriously. These traits are to be expected from the Ultimate Debater.

He’s a realist through and through, not hesitating to shoot down idealistic views with his carefully formulated arguments. However, it is comical—and perhaps endearing—to see him talk about the things he’s passionate about in such a highbrow manner.

[[folder:Kiyoshi Fujioka]]
!!!'''Ultimate Puppeteer'''
!!!Voiced by: sir samgrace
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/girlydude.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Wanderer of Neverland'']]

Although puppet shows aren’t as popular as they used to be, Kiyoshi prides himself on being the Ultimate Puppeteer who has made a name for himself by performing at charity events. Using handmade puppets and stories that he has written himself, his shows never fail to entertain people of all ages.

His puppets may be full of life, but Kiyoshi himself is a quiet individual. Some even find him peculiar because he prefers talking to his puppets rather than actual people, and when he needs to communicate with others, he’ll usually speak through his puppets.

[[folder:Kyouran Murashita]]
!!!'''Ultimate Con Artist'''
!!!Voiced by: Ramen in a Cupboard
[[quoteright:208:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/their.png]]
[[caption-width-right:208:''Gentleman Thief'']]

Kyouran’s hospitality and gentlemanly behaviour make it all the more shocking to learn that he’s the Ultimate Con Artist, a sly schemer behind numerous frauds, including the notorious one billion yen scam.

Not much is known about him, not even his name—Kyouran Murashita could easily be an alias. His kind eyes have an off-putting glint, as if he can see through everything you say. He promises never to lie to anyone, but who’s to say that a conman will stick to his word?

[[folder:Satoru Tachibana]]
!!!'''Ultimate Historian'''
!!!Voiced by: Silavent
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clumsy.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Sapere Aude'']]

Satoru became the Ultimate Historian after writing numerous books that explained history in an entertaining way, sparking the interest of teenagers. He finds the past quite fascinating and believes that everyone can benefit from learning about it.

Satoru is very humble and submissive, admiring others and always seeking their approval. He doesn’t seem to know how to feel proud of his achievements unless he receives praise, and he wishes to be someone cooler and likeable rather than embrace himself.

[[folder:Tomoya Morita]]
!!!'''Ultimate Therapist'''
!!!Voiced by: thegreatjudgni
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Drifting Innocence'']]


You wouldn’t expect a narcissistic and overconfident person like Tomoya to be everybody’s new best friend. Despite his gigantic ego, he truly has a heart of gold. The atmosphere around him becomes lighthearted when Tomoya cracks jokes to keep everyone’s spirits high.

As the Ultimate Therapist, he’s skilled at alleviating the others’ tensions and fears. As for his own… the seldom somber look on his face speaks volumes.

[[folder:Takeshi Yamamoto]]
!!!'''Ultimate Weightlifter''
!!!Voiced by: Kevin Gerard
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buff.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Unwavering Ardour'']]


Consistently lifting weights ever since he was young, Takeshi Yamamoto had the mindset that working hard was the only way to achieve success. As a result of his long term regimen, his efforts paid off and was rewarded with the title of the Ultimate Weightlifter.

Takeshi’s intimidating appearance only complements his rude and cold attitude. However, he has been known to be very caring, and will lend a hand to those who need it. Because of this, Takeshi is very particular about respecting others, and refuses to do so if he isn’t treated the same.

[[folder:Yumeo Arakawa]]
!!!'''Ultimate Forensic Pathologist'''
!!!Voiced by:TomatoVA
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rival_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Black-Hearted Prince'']]


Born with the face of a prince, Yumeo’s good looks attract everyone… until he opens his mouth, and all that comes out of it is utter disrespect and rude comments. Many people are also taken aback when they learn that he’s the Ultimate Forensic Pathologist and that he enjoys working with dead bodies more than he enjoys being around others.

Uncooperative and aloof, Yumeo is a loner that trusts nobody, ignoring anyone trying to converse with him. He does things his own way and is easily irritable if anybody interrupts his work. Due to his discourteous attitude, it’s not a surprise that nobody wants to befriend him, except for one particular person…

!!The Host
[[folder:Kou]]
!!!Voiced by: Lumisau
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robot_0.png]]


Kou is an android who also acts as the overseer of the killing game at the Ultimate Award Ceremony. While he’s technically forcing the awardees to brutally murder each other, it’s only because he’s following the will of the mastermind. Kou personally doesn’t bear any ill intent towards the awardees—he only functions as a messenger.

He has the appearance of an adorable child, but his personality lacks emotion and he’s unfazed by most things. Despite this, his speech and mannerisms make him much more endearing.
