History Characters / KabaneriOfTheIronFortress

* ArcherArchetype: Is shown practicing archery, with considerable success and takes up a Steam Bow.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: [[spoiler: Finds herself falling for the heroic Ikoma during the Battle of Utano after he helps her out of several dire situations.]]

* ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler: Silently cheers when she witnesses Mumei and Ikoma kiss in the Battle of Utano.]]

* ThreeAmigos: With his friends Takumi and Kajika.

* {{Bishonen}}: He has a very feminine appearance with long hair. [[spoiler:It serves as a good contrast between his very brutal personality and his harmless appearance.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Kenichiro Masuda (Japanese), Aaron [=LaPlante=] (English)

* BadassBaritone: To the point that it's almost VocalDissonance, considering who voices him in English.

* NoNameGiven: "Mumei" technically means "Nameless". She eventually remembers her original name ([[spoiler:Hozumi]]), but still prefers the one [[spoiler:Biba]] has given her. [[spoiler: She declares her real name when she finally kills Biba.]]

* CowardlyLion: is not a fan of fighting the Kabane, but will when push comes to shove.

* MoralityPet: As soon as she died her father turned into a monster.

A mysterious Kabaneri girl traveling through Aragane to her brother at another station, who got entangled into the whole hoopla. She was forced to join the crew after Aragane got overran with Kabane and the monk who was her handler/bodyguard was bitten and committed suicide. Her brother[[note]]Actually, Biba [[RedBaron The Liberator]], the Shogun's son and [[WarriorPrince a famous Kabane exterminator]], who saved her from a trigger-happy samurai several years ago.[[/note]] apparently has a lot of influence, given the respect she was met with by the [[{{Samurai}} bushi]] of Aragane, and she can slaughter Kabane by the dozen as well. Her real name is [[spoiler:Hozumi.]]

Daughter of the Aragane's feudal overlord, she's a serious and diligent girl [[YouAreInCommandNow who is forced to lead]] the Aragane refugees [[spoiler: as [[LaserGuidedKarma her father]] becomes a Kabane [[DirtyCoward after running away]].]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinichiroMiki (Japanese), Creator/KyleMcCarley (English), Carlo Vasquez (Latin American Spanish)

* LikeBrotherAndSister: His relationship with Mumei develops into this. Takumi even wonders if Mumei was similar to Ikoma's sister as a result.
** [[spoiler: Mumei's feelings for Ikoma, however, are decidedly unplatonic in nature.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: His modified rivet gun, which he reinforced with a gunpowder booster.

* WeaponOfChoice: Two steam-powered SawedOffShotguns, apparently powerful enough to pierce the Kabane heart cages.

* ShesGotLegs: Many scenes of Episode 1 tend to focus on her legs, the same goes for the opening.

* KnifeNut: Not only do [[ArmedLegs her geta have bladed teeth]], but her SawedOffShotguns also have [[BayonetYa foldout bayonets]] for improved [[OffWithHisHead chopping]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Volcano Ota (Japanese), Creator/KyleHebert (English), Gustavo Melgarejo (Latin American Spanish)

Yet another of Kotetsujou's mechanics ([[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters there's a lot of them]] on the crew), a handsome and somewhat smug lad who just got thrown into the same car with Takumi and Kajika when the fearful refugees sorta rebelled, but still carried his weight faithfully.

* RapunzelHair: Her hair, even in a ponytail, reaches past her waist.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: [[ModestyShorts Wears shorts]] with her armor.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Played With. On one hand, Ikoma was indeed acting far more aggressive than usual and giving sings that he was acting like a Kabane, but on the other hand it was clear he was just looking for an excuse to either lock or kill Ikoma for whatever reason.

* LockedIntoStrangeness: All Kabaneri have the glowing steel-caged hearts of Kabane, and he also gets a SkunkStripe from the transformation.

* SkunkStripe: Gets one after his transformation.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has muddy greenish-yellow hair, somehow. The SkunkStripe is more justified- all Kabane have white hair, and when he transforms into a Kabaneri, there's actually a few frames where we can see the hair beginning to turn white.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or rather, dull pink, in her case.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has pink hair.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He's the only character seen so far with blue hair.
