10	->Voiced by: Creator/KazunariTanaka (Japanese), Creator/KirkThornton (English)
11	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1e3eb69667d8b8e096d80b7231264f89.jpg]]
12	Hachirota Hoshino is the protagonist of the series.
13	----
14	* AlliterativeName: '''H'''achirota '''H'''oshino
15	* AlmostKiss: Hachimaki and Tanabe nearly have one on the beach in episode 13, until a rocket launched by Hachimaki's brother nearly hits them.
16	* BabiesEverAfter: In the anime, the very last shot [[spoiler:heavily implies that Tanabe is pregnant with Hachi's child.]]
17	* BeardOfSorrow: Variation, [[spoiler:Hachimaki sort of Grows a Beard of Contemplation during his week-long Vision Quest on the moon.]]
18	* BilingualBonus: In the manga version, Hachimaki meets the mother of an astronaut whose life he just saved, who speaks to him in Russian. In Yukimura's typical ShownTheirWork fashion the words are written using the Cyrillic alphabet and are entirely correct. They still don't understand each other at all. We do.
19	%%* BunnyEarsLawyer: Many of the main characters are really good at their jobs, even if they're a bit eccentric.
20	* CannotSpitItOut: Hachi has difficulty expressing himself adequately, especially in romantic matters.
21	* CharacterDevelopment: Quite a few characters [[ADayInTheLimelight get episodes that focus on them]], and we get to learn more about their past as well as why they act the way they do, such as Hachimaki wearing said headband all the time.
22	* CreditsRunningSequence: Hachimaki does this in the intro. It starts off as a slow jog, but towards the end he does a full on sprint, stumbling briefly before picking up his pace again.
23	* {{Determinator}}: Deconstructed. Hachi almost alienated Ai and his peers with his fanatical commitment to board the von Braun.
24	* DyingAlone: Hachimaki's dark self constantly reminds himself of this fate in the 2nd half of the season.
25	* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Both Hachi and Tanabe go through a heck of a lot before finally finding happiness at the very end of the anime.]]
26	* FirstKiss: While it's not seen, it's heavily implied at the end of episode 14 with Hachimaki and Tanabe.
27	* FreezeFrameBonus: In episode 20, you can pause and read some of Hachimaki's details as Director Locksmith goes over it.
28	* {{Heroic BSoD}}: Hachimaki seems to go through one in episode 25 of the anime, which takes place shortly after the Von Braun terrorist incident.
29	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:Hachi gets dangerously close to this when his zeal for the von Braun mission causes him to nearly kill Hakim.]]
30	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
31	* MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration: Discussed in episode one, as they're gathering equipment for the next mission.
32	-->'''Hachimaki''': This, this, this... And this too. ''(places Hustler magazine in the cart)''\
33	'''Tanabe''': Wha... What is that?\
34	'''Hachimaki''': In this field of work men and women may have to live together in close quarters for several weeks. If we don't take matters into our own hands something ugly might happen. Here, this is yours. ''(holds up a porn mag supposedly for women)''
35	* MeaningfulName: Hachirota's last name, Hoshino, is spelled "星野" and can be read literally as "star field", but phonetically it can sound like the possessive form, making his full name "星の八郎太" or "Hachirota of the stars".
36	* MotorcycleOnTheCoastRoad: Hachimaki did this in the past, and does it again in episode 14 when visiting his hometown with Tanabe and Yuri.
37	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He almost exclusively is referred to as "Hachi" or "Hachimaki".
38	* ParentalAbandonment: Averted with Hachimaki's mother, but played straight with his dad, who is obsessed with getting humanity's place in space established. Quite a few characters are awestruck by his reputation, but Hachimaki couldn't care less.
39	* RelationshipUpgrade: Happens in episode 14 with Hachimaki and Tanabe.
40	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Hachimaki uses this several times when either confronted with his past relationship with Claire, and anytime Tanabe sees him with another woman, and questions him about it.
41	* SiblingYinYang: Hachimaki and Kyuutaro. One brother is an astronaut, the other brother wants to build rockets and spaceships. Neither one believes that what the other pursues is a "serious" pursuit of outer-space.
42	* SignatureHeadgear: There's a reason Hachirota is nicknamed Hachimaki.
43	* SmokingIsCool: To a lesser extent.
44	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A few of the earlier episodes that seem to end a little too close to "cutesy kid's show" territory include [[TheStinger a final scene]] showing some amusing real-life background or consequences. For example, Tanabe finds out Hachimaki didn't delay scuttling a satellite to give the people it was supposed to be dedicated to a nice show, but because he wanted to cash in some overtime pay.
45	* TakeAThirdOption: Hachimaki's decision regarding the ''von Braun'' Mission and Ai. [[spoiler:He marries her just before he leaves, trusting that she, like his mother, will be happy as a spacer's wife; which ''slightly'' implies SpaceIsAnOcean, at least in respect to temporary widows waiting for sailors to come home.]]
46	* TakeMyHand: [[spoiler:Hachi to Yuri when the latter nearly falls into the atmosphere saving his wife's compass.]]
47	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Hachimaki gives one to his friend Cheng-Shin when the latter mentioned about how he didn't expect to pass the Von Braun tests. Hachimaki yells at his friend for not going all out to make the cut, and how he used his pilot job as a safety net in case.
48	* WhamLine: Hachimaki gives one at the end of episode 18.
49	-->'''Hachimaki''': I'm quitting the Debris Section.
50	* YouAreNotAlone: Hachimaki's dark self tells him that being alone is pretty much the fate of everyone, no matter what they say. It doesn't stop Tanabe however, from trying to invoke this trope on him.

53	[[folder:Ai Tanabe]]
54	!!Ai Tanabe
55	->Voiced by: Creator/SatsukiYukino (Japanese), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (English)
56	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anime1.jpg]]
57	Ai Tanabe is the newest member of the Debris Section.
58	----
59	* AlmostKiss: Hachimaki and Tanabe nearly have one on the beach in episode 13, until a rocket launched by Hachimaki's brother nearly hits them.
60	* ArtEvolution: Tanabe's a bit ugly in the first volumes of the manga. Fortunately, this changes.
61	* BabiesEverAfter: In the anime, the very last shot [[spoiler:heavily implies that Tanabe is pregnant with Hachi's child.]]
62	* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Heavens above, Ai Tanabe. Physically, by way of her severe nerve damage, and almost mentally, when she begins to consider taking Claire's O2 tank as her own runs out. She gets better, though.]]
63	* ClingyJealousGirl: Towards Hachimaki, she gets angry or at least suspicious anytime she sees him hanging out with a woman.
64	* CooldownHug: In the manga, to stop Hachi's unstoppable TranquilFury, as the latter is about to [[spoiler:kill Hakim]]. Preceded by a [[spoiler:ShutUpKiss just before Hachi pulls the trigger]], and followed by a [[spoiler:PostKissCatatonia (since the compartment had suffered a hull breach and Ai was already feeling the effects of low air pressure.]]
65	* CreepyChild: [[spoiler:[[LoveFreak Tanabe]]'s childhood in the manga, when she was also TheVoiceless.]]
66	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Tanabe did not speak until she was three years old. Sounds a lot like UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein.
67	* DyingAlone: Tanabe feels this trope should be averted, such as when the body of one of the early space pioneers makes its way back to Earth, and she feels he should be buried by his family, rather than sent back into the void of space.
68	* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Both Hachi and Tanabe go through a heck of a lot before finally finding happiness at the very end of the anime.]]
69	* FirstKiss: While it's not seen, it's heavily implied at the end of episode 14 with Hachimaki and Tanabe.
70	* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:She was left on Kenji and Yukari's doorstep at the age of about one, but that doesn't really bother anyone.]]
71	* {{Heroic BSoD}}: Tanabe suffers from one in episode 10 after finding out in the previous episode that [[spoiler:Gigalt, Hachimaki's space teacher]] has cancer and is dying. What makes it worse is that he asks Tanabe not to reveal this information, which would be devastating to Hachimaki, who idolizes the man.
72	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She survives, but with horrible injuries.]]
73	%%* LoveFreak
74	* MeaningfulName: Ai Tanabe's name is also a pun, as 'ai' is the Japanese word for love, which matches with her belief in love's power.
75	* NaiveNewcomer: New hire and first-time astronaut.
76	%%* NiceGirl: She is willing to do almost anything to help others.
77	* RelationshipUpgrade: Happens in episode 14 with Hachimaki and Tanabe.
78	* SecretKeeper: Gigalt asks Tanabe to keep his [[spoiler:cancer]] secret from Hachimaki in episode 9. Then he finds this out anyway in episode 22.
79	%%* ThePowerOfLove: She very much believes in this.
80	* WelcomeEpisode: Episode 1 lets the audience follow Tanabe as she arrives at ISVP7, meets everyone down in Debris Section, and is shown the ropes of the job.
81	* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:In episode 24 her idealism is put to the test where she is almost out of oxygen but can survive if she steals Claire's who is already severely wounded and no one would know. She ends up not biting and while she survives, it came at a great cost]].
82	* WideEyedIdealist: She has a sort of "love conquers all" attitude.

90	----
91	* AffectionateNickname: Gilgalt calls her "Turbolighter".
92	%%* BunnyEarsLawyer: Many of the main characters are really good at their jobs, even if they're a bit eccentric.
93	* CulturalCrossReference: In the manga version, a military officer named Colonel Sanders tries to make a deal with Fee to help stop the impending space war. She flatly denies him and tells him to go "sell fried chicken at a gas station." This is made even more hilarious by the fact that his appearance is seemingly based upon a certain other Colonel Sanders.
94	%%* HappilyMarried: She's married with a young son.
95	%%* HeroicSacrifice: What everyone ''thought'' [[NoSmoking Fee]] was doing.
96	* MissionControl: Fee often plays this role when Hachi, Ai, and Yuri perform EVA operations.
97	* MistakenForCheating: In episode 8, the Debris Section suspects Fee is having a secret affair with the Second Division director. Except that she's not, and she's not too happy about that accusation when she hears about it.
98	* MustHaveNicotine: The main driver of episode 12, where Space Defense Front bombings deprive Fee of access to smoking rooms for nearly two weeks. She's so desperate for a smoke by the end that she's willing to ram Toy Box into a missile to save her almost-repaired smoking chamber.
99	* RammingAlwaysWorks: [[spoiler:Near the end of the series, with the von Braun about to cross the point-of-no-return to crash into Sea Of Tranquility City, Fee and Cheng-Shin decide (separately) that they can at least nudge the ship so it crashes away from the city. But they realize they're too late to make any difference anyway.]]
100	* SmokingIsCool: In one episode, Fee ''saves outer space'' without knowing it because she is that desperate for a smoke.

108	----
109	* {{Foreshadowing}}: That woman we see in the spacecraft in episode 1 when a stray bolt hits it? [[spoiler:She's the wife of Yuri]], and in episode 10 we get more [[CharacterDevelopment background]] on why Yuri was obsessed with looking for space debris and why he joined the Debris Section in the first place.
110	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Yuri keeps a kennel for the station's officers' pets, because he's ''that'' good with animals.
111	* MeaningfulName: Yuri Mihairokov shares the name of famous cosmonaut UsefulNotes/YuriGagarin, who was the first man in space.
112	* {{Memento MacGuffin}}: Yuri's [[TragicKeepsake wife's compass]]. [[spoiler:Eventually, Yuri decides to send it back into space with a test rocket because he no longer needs it to preserve his wife's memory.]]
113	* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:When his wife died in a plane crash shown in episode 1, her body was never found.]]

134	----
135	* CanonImmigrant: The office staff does not exist in the manga.
136	%%* MassiveNumberedSiblings: He's a divorced father with 7 kids.
137	* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Lavie does something similar in episode 18 when he thinks back to what his kids told him about keeping space safe, and destroys a satellite which was potentially harmful to spaceships. The director threatens to withdraw Lavie's position in another department and tries to disband them right then and there. Lavie destroys the satellite anyway, and later gives a LargeHam news interview discussing how the Debris Section keeps spaceships safe. Due to potential backlash from the public, and in keeping with a good corporate image, the director withdraws his threat to disband the section.
138	* ShoutOut: Lavie's gag device to break the ice with Section 3's Debris department plays ''[[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey Thus Spake Zarathustra]]''.

153	* HypercompetentSidekick: The contracted office employee (see OfficeLady below) is the only one in the Debris Section office to ever be seen consistantly doing any office work. The other desk workers either spend all their time planning their impending retirement or trying to suck up to those higher on the corporate ladder.
154	* OfficeLady: The debris section's administrative office temp. [[spoiler:Played with a little in regards to her backstory]], but otherwise played straight, especially by the end of the series when [[spoiler:she's hired as a full-time employee and eases up a little.]]

205	* SociopathicHero: The degree of his detachment from humanity varies from manga to anime. [[spoiler:The graveside scene in the former had him damn near emotional, which is devastating to the reader, let me tell you.]]
206	* WellIntentionedExtremist: He seems to be of the mindset that the ends justify the means. This implies getting the Von Braun to Jupiter no matter what the cost is, human or monetary.

In this continuity, he's the one who gave Hachi his nickname, although the latter was already wearing said item long before Gigalt ever met him.

265	* DreamCrushingHandicap: Due to the fact that she's unable to leave the Moon because of it's lower gravity compared to Earths', Nono will never be able to play on the beach or feel the ocean surf brush against her legs.
266	* HugeSchoolgirl: She's a [[YoungerThanTheyLook twelve year-old]] that is taller than Hachimaki. Having spent her whole life in the Moon's limited gravity, special attention is made to how hard she has to work to keep her dangerously under-stressed (and therefore unusually tall) body working normally.
267	* WiseBeyondTheirYears: The 12 year-old Lunar girl whose words can disarm even the most bitter and jaded cynic with a well-aimed (but perfectly innocent) critical hit to the heart.
268	* YoungerThanTheyLook: She's is slightly larger than Hachimaki. In truth, though, she is only twelve: having lived her whole life on the moon, her body had grown taller than normal due to a lack of gravity.
