13
14The male protagonist of the movie. A 17-year old boy living in Tokyo who works part time at a restaurant.
15----
16* AlliterativeName: '''T'''aki '''T'''achibana.
17* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Taki is shown to be living with his father, but his MissingMom is never depicted or even mentioned. There is all of one vague reference in the light novel (Chapter 7, page 215 in the Taiwanese Chinese translation, when he's having a flashback to being 14 [[spoiler:as Tiamat is falling]]) of him having to learn to get used to staying with the father, but what that means and why is never explained. That said, according to an alleged statement by Makoto Shinkai on the film’s wiki page, Mr. and Mrs. Tachibana are divorced.
18* TheCameo: [[spoiler:He returns in ''Anime/WeatheringWithYou'', where we are introduced to his grandmother.]]
19* CannotSpitItOut: Is unable to tell Miki that he likes her, prompting Mitsuha (while she is in his body) to set up dates between them.
20* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Subverted. During one of the mornings he wakes up as Mitsuha, he abashedly comments to himself that he shouldn't touch her breasts out of respect for her; when Yotsuha rolls that door open, though, she sees that he was unable to resist.
21* CovertPervert: Each time he wakes up in Mitsuha's body, he gropes her breasts.
22* {{Determinator}}: Taki explores the rural parts of Japan in order to meet Mitsuha in person, with only sketches of her town that he drew from his memory since he doesn't know the name. [[spoiler: Even after finding out she is dead for three years, he is still determined to find a way to reconnect with her. 5 years later, even after having lost all memories about her, that determination still stands.]]
23* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Tsukasa admits he finds Taki cute after he interacts with what is actually Mitsuha in Taki's body.
24** It's mentioned offhandedly that both male and female classmates have confessed to him.
25* HairstyleInertia: Keeps his same spiky hair up to [[spoiler:adulthood.]]
26* HairTriggerTemper: Taki can easily lose his cool, as stated by Miki. He has a bandage on his face the first time Mitsuha wakes up in his body, which suggests that he was injured in a fight. [[spoiler:He finally puts his excess of assertiveness to good use when it [[CharacterDevelopment rubs off]] on Mitsuha and she gains the confidence to stand up to her father.]]
27* InnocentFanServiceGirl: In Mitsuha's body, he doesn't mean to give anyone a show, but he doesn't wear a bra even in gym class, resulting in some oogling by male classmates.
28* JerkassBall: At the beginning, Taki had a little bit of an irritable temper and was slightly rude, bordering on JerkWithAHeartOfGold. However, he is actually a kind and caring NiceGuy overall.
29* LikesOlderWomen: He has a crush on Miki, who is a college student at the start of the film. [[spoiler:The ending implies that he falls in love with Mitsuha, who is also older than him by the time they finally meet outside of their body-swapping experiences.]]
30* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: His first act after realizing he is in Mitsuha's body is to feel her boobs. He makes a habit of doing this after every switch.
31* MeaningfulName: The kanji for his given name, 瀧, combines the characters for "water" and "dragon". This serves as another connection between himself and Mitsuha as water is also mentioned in Mitsuha's surname and, as recounted in ''Another Side: Earthbound'', the Miyamizu folklore includes mention of a dragon, [[spoiler:which symbolizes the destructive power of Tiamat.]]
32* NiceGuy: Especially with his CharacterDevelopment, since he used to be slightly cranky and short-tempered. Taki at his core is a kind, honorable and selfless young man, sharing this with Mitsuha.
33* NoodleIncident: How did he get that bandage on his right cheek when Mitsuha enters his body for the first time? The most likely answer is that he got into a fight at work.
34* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:Makoto Shinkai confirms in an interview that Taki and Mitsuha are married by the time of the epilogue of ''Anime/WeatheringWithYou''. This is shown in that film's novel where Taki's grandmother has a picture of his wedding day]].
35* RealMenCook: Taki is your standard gruffy guy, but ''Another Side: Earthbound'' shows that he also picked up some cooking skills from his part-time job.
36* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: Five years after losing his memories of her, Taki sheds these after he is finally reunited with Mitsuha.]]

42->'''Voiced by:''' Mone Kamishiraishi (JP), Creator/StephanieSheh (EN), Graciela Molina (EU-ES), Jocelyn Robles (LA-ES)
43
44The female protagonist of the movie. A 17-year old girl living in the rural town of Itomori who also serves as a priestess in her family shrine.
45----
46
47* AgeAppropriateAngst: She’s a teen and rightfully upset about her seemingly dull life and her father. She also goes through a lot of angst when it comes to her relationship with Taki.
48* AlliterativeName: '''M'''itsuha '''M'''iyamizu.
49* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Early on, she wishes to be reborn as a handsome boy living in Tokyo. Cue the next day when she's in Taki's body (aka a handsome Tokyo boy) and struggles to go about his life.
50* TheCameo: [[spoiler:Mitsuha returns as a minor character in ''Anime/WeatheringWithYou'', where she works at LUMINE, a fashion store where she helps Hodaka Morishima buy a ring for Hina Amano.]]
51* TheChewToy: Screaming on the inside due to upper-class society around her, would rather run away than become the ProperLady her father and sister expect her to be, [[spoiler: and she ends up getting killed by the comet.]]
52* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Is revealed to have been killed by the comet that struck Itomori, meaning she was already dead for three years when Taki first started swapping bodies with her past self.]]
53* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: As a result of Taki's actions while in her body, several girls become attracted to her, with one confessing to her in the form of a love letter.
54* ExtremeDoormat: In contrast to [[HairTriggerTemper Taki]], Mitsuha takes the belittlement of her character from [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents her father]] and [[TeensAreMonsters her classmates]] without so much as a whisper in retaliation. Then Taki ends up in her body, and delivers the verbal (and in some cases, physical) lashings they deserve. [[spoiler:This [[CharacterDevelopment rubs off]] on Mitsuha when they finally meet, and she gains the confidence to force her father to evacuate Itomori.]]
55* FirstGirlAfterAll: [[spoiler:Late in the story, it turns out that she met Taki in person three years before the body-swapping began for him, and presumably before he met Okudera, since he probably wasn't working in a restaurant at 14. He doesn't remember this, until he realizes she gave him [[ChekhovsGun the bracelet he wears throughout the movie]] in that brief encounter.]]
56* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Mitsuha, unlike her younger sister, is more flaky and uninterested in her family's traditions, wishing to explore outside of her hometown.
57* HatedHometown: She admits her contempt for her own hometown out loud.
58* HeavySleeper: In Yotsuha's section of ''Another Side: Earthbound'', we learn that when Mitsuha sleeps, it's very hard to rouse her.
59* ImportantHaircut: She gets her hair cut into a bob after [[spoiler:a younger Taki fails to recognize her when she tries finding him in Tokyo.]]
60* IncompatibleOrientation: [[PlayedForLaughs Played For Laughs.]] She is not at all amused to find out that Taki has been going around making girls fall in love with her.
61* TheInsomniac: In Yotsuha's section of ''Another Side: Earthbound'', we also learn that Mitsuha has frequent bouts of sleeplessness.
62* IJustWantToBeFree: See SmallTownBoredom below. She earns it in the end.
63* MatchmakerCrush: When she is in Taki's body, she helps him to get closer with his crush, Miki. By then however, she has fallen in love with him.
64* MeaningfulName: Her surname Miyamizu (jp: 宮水) means "shrine water", reflecting the family's role as priestesses.
65* {{Miko}}: Her family is a clerical family based around the Miyamizu shrine, so she has to perform traditional (and somewhat embarrassing) rituals along with her sister Yotsuha.
66* NiceGirl: She may not be interested in traditions, is individualistic and a bit of a rebel, but she's actually kind, caring, honorable and selfless, and she's willing to go to great lengths to help anyone in trouble regardless of their differences and prefers living a simple lifestyle in the city.
67* NumericalThemeNaming: Her name literally means "three-leaf", following the trend set by her grandmother and mother.
68* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:Makoto Shinkai confirms in an interview that Taki and Mitsuha are married by the time of the epilogue of ''Anime/WeatheringWithYou''.]]
69* RaisedByGrandparents: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Her mother died, but her father is still alive but after his wife's death, he immersed entirely in his political career. As a result, she and her sister are primarily raised by their grandmother.
70* RebelliousPrincess: More like Rebellious Politician’s Daughter. She would rather live her own life than continue the life she feels forced to live. She does learn to express this and break away after falling for Taki.
71* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Taki begins to fall in love with her, and as a result, loses his crush on Miki.]]
72* ShipperOnDeck: In the novelization, as she's leaving Sayaka and Tessie at the "cafe", she thinks to herself that the two should get together.
73* SmallTownBoredom: She dreams of a life outside her mountain town, which sets the plot in motion.
74* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks a lot like her late mother, especially by the time she is an adult. PlayedForDrama as the novelization makes it clear that the resemblance didn't do her grieving father any favors in the days following the loss, while ''Another Side: Earthbound'' mentions at the end that, on seeing her [[spoiler:entering his office to retry getting him to evacuate Itomori]], Toshiki is reminded of Futaba's last words that her death was not farewell.
75* SweetTooth: In Taki's body, she is frequently shown eating large sugary and creamy desserts (much to the dismay of Taki, who doesn't appreciate Mitsuha using the money from his part-time job frivolously).
76* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: She does this after meeting Taki in person for the first time near her family shrine. She also cries eight years later after she is reunited with him.]]
77* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:As she and Taki undergo one last FreakyFridayFlip, she sees her town in the ruined state that the comet left behind and comes to the horrible realization that she's dead in the time period she started switching with Taki.]]
78* TomboyishPonytail: Taki in Mitsuha's body tends to wear her hair in a simple ponytail. Fitting as from an outside perspective (Taki as) Mitsuha does come off as a tomboy.
79* {{Tsundere}}: While she used to be quite a doormat, she has some shades of this towards Taki, rather than with others. [[CharacterDevelopment This might at least partially be him rubbing off on her.]]
80* UptownGirl: Hails from an upper class family, but falls for city kid Taki Tachibana.
81* WhiteSheep: Unlike her sister, she has complete disregard for her family’s traditions, and she hates her rich life due to her cold and strict father, the rich jerkasses who work for the company and the stress it's giving her. Following the events of the movie, she leaves it all behind for Taki.

132Mitsuha's maternal grandmother, the town priestess and the matriarch of the Miyamizu family.

134* FreakyFridayFlip: Doesn't happen in the movie proper, but [[spoiler:she tells Taki that she experienced a similar thing as him and Mitsuha when she was young, though she has forgotten who she swapped with]].
135* GoodOldWays: She's shown to be very traditional and takes her family's practices very seriously, passing them down to her granddaughters. As we learn in Toshiki's section of ''Another Side: Earthbound'', she also objected to Futaba marrying an outsider.
136* KimonoIsTraditional: Always shown clad in a kimono to emphasise her traditional views.
137* MeaningfulName: Her surname Miyamizu (jp: 宮水) means "shrine water", reflecting the family's role as priestesses.
138* NumericalThemeNaming: Her name literally means "one-leaf"; the naming trend is followed by her daughter and grandchildren.
139* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Futaba died before she did. For better or worse, the story never explores Hitoha's opinion on this.

150Mitsuha's grade-schooler younger sister.
151----

153* TheCameo: Makes a brief one in ''Weathering With You''.
154* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Yotsuha, unlike her older sister, is more dedicated and interested in her family's traditions, and has the responsibility of making sure Mitsuha wakes up in the morning. She's generally shown to be more down to earth and mature than her older sister.
155* GirlishPigtails: Her main hairstyle, [[spoiler:which she carries on in high school.]]
156* HairstyleInertia: She keeps her same GirlishPigtails hairstyle up to [[spoiler:her teenage years.]]

165->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakiTerasoma (JP), Scott Williams (EN), Rafael Ordóñez Arrieta (EU-ES), Óscar Gómez (LA-ES)
166
167Mitsuha and Yotsuha's estranged father, who is also the town mayor. Originally a folklorist from outside Itomori, specifically from the Mizoguchi clan of Nara but based at Kyoto University, who visited the town, he fell in love with Futaba, the daughter of the town priestess, and fathered Mitsuha and Yotsuha with her. Following his wife's tragic passing, he became estranged from his family.
168----
169* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: He interrupts his political rally to lecture Mitsuha for her posture while she's passing by on her way to school, embarrassing her in front of the town's citizens.
170* CorruptPolitician: Discussed InUniverse. A number of characters around town cynically wonder if he takes kick backs and bribes from various businesses. Katsuhiko in particular feels that his own father is in business with Toshiki. The film never outright confirms any of these rumors and even Toshiki's meeting with Katsuhiko's dad and ''Another Side: Earthbound'''s discussion of the 2 years immediately following Futaba's death he spent gathering support and laying the groundwork for his first term were kept in ambiguous enough terms to mean anything from illegal dealings to the man simply sponsoring his campaign.
171* DisappearedDad: After being overcome by grief from his wife's death by illness, he abandoned his priestly duties, which led to Mitsuha's grandmother telling him to get lost, and so he did. The novelization clarifies that it was not a unilateral decision of his but the culmination of a mutual breakdown in the relationship between father and grandmother after the wife's death. ''Another Side: Earthbound'' further adds that he tried to get Mitsuha and Yotsuha to go with him, but they rejected him in favor of the grandmother.
172* FaithHeelTurn: He blamed the gods for his wife's death and this started him down to how he is at the start of the film proper.
173* IHaveNoSon: Got disowned by his family for pursuing a relationship with Futaba instead of the woman they had in mind for him.
174* LaserGuidedKarma: He was very neglectful towards Mitsuha for most of her childhood and he is implied to be a corrupt politician. His actions end up causing Mitsuha to to stand up to him and in another timeline, his entire town is destroyed by the comet.
175* NoNameGiven: Downplayed. His first name is given a grand total of once in the movie, the first time he appears onscreen, and only [[BilingualBonus as hiragana on a background banner]]. It is never said aloud in the movie proper.
176* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: Despite their estranged relationship, he is able to see that Mitsuha is not herself when she become confrontationa with him, a flaw of Taki but not Mitsuha who is more subservient and less aggressive.
177* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is shown in an InUniverse document after [[spoiler:Itomori's evacuation]], but not in the flesh, leaving his final fate or whether he eventually reconciled with his family unknown. Even his section of ''Another Side: Earthbound'' cuts out at the scene where [[spoiler:Mitsuha enters his office to retry convincing him to order Itomori's evacuation]]. By the events of ''Weathering With You'', Mitsuha makes no mention as to what happened to him or how he coped with his daughter relocating to Tokyo.

183Mitsuha and Yotsuha's deceased mother. The intended heiress to the Miyamizu lineage.
184----
185* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Her father is never mentioned at all in ''Earthbound'', leaving the reason for his absence a mystery.
186* DeathSeeker​: Discussed; she was reluctant to be hospitalized for her illness until it deteriorated to the point that she had no choice, which led Toshiki to wonder if she was seeking death.
187* TheLostLenore: Her death by illness is the main reason for how Toshiki currently is, losing all interest in his mother-in-law's traditions and becoming estranged from his daughters.
188* LoveAtFirstSight: When she first met Toshiki, she said that she had the feeling he was the one she would marry.
189* MissingMom: Due to the whole being dead thing.
190* NoHeroToHisValet: Toshiki was the only one, in life or death, who refused to see her as anything other than an ordinary person.
191* NumericalThemeNaming: Her name literally means "two-leaf", following the trend set by her mother and passed on to her daughters.
192* PosthumousCharacter: Died 6 years before the start of the story of an unknown illness, but continues to cast a shadow over her family.
193* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: After her death, some of the townspeople started saying this of her InUniverse, saying the gods took her away from the mortal realm early because she was such a good person.
194* WiseBeyondTheirYears: She had not hit 25 when she married Toshiki, yet even before that the townspeople were going to her for uncannily sage advice.

203----
204* AffectionateNickname: Mitsuha and Tessie affectionately call her Saya-chin.
205* AnimeHair: Her twin braids are not this trope. What is this trope is their persistent refusal to obey gravity.
206* BetaCouple: Katsuhiko and Sayaka get along very well in the present and are revealed to have gotten engaged during the TimeSkip after [[spoiler:evacuating Itomori and surviving the meteorite impact]].
207* ChekhovsSkill: Her being a member of the broadcast club allows her to [[spoiler:impersonate the town hall and have the city evacuated.]]

223* BigOlEyebrows: Tessie has the thickest eyebrows of his friends.
224* ChekhovsSkill: His knowledge of and access to explosives from helping his father later comes into play [[spoiler:when he detonates dynamite to force Itomori's residents to evacuate]].
