Steins;Gate/Characters

Characters from  include:

Rintaro Okabe
"Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (JP), J. Michael Tatum (EN)"

The protagonist, an 18-year-old 1st-year college student and leader of the Future Gadget Laboratory. .


 * Catch Phrase: "I am mad scientist!", "This is the choice of Stein's Gate!", "El Psy Congroo", among others.
 * Despair Event Horizon:.
 * The Determinator
 * Do Not Call Me "Paul": "Call me Hououin Kyouma!"
 * Evil Laugh: Quite good at it, and hilarious too!
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Delivered by Mayuri.
 * The Gift: Reading Steiner.
 * Gratuitous English: Uses it constantly. Along with Gratuitous German.
 * In-Series Nickname: Refers to himself as "Hououin Kyouma". Mayuri and Daru call him "Okarin".
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Jive Turkey: In the English dub, he tries to speak jive instead of Gratuitous English. He even quotes Vanilla Ice of all people.
 * Large Ham: When he's acting out his Hououin Kyouma persona, he tends to be very loud and theatrical. When Okabe himself shines through, he's inclined towards gloominess and is actually fairly mellow.
 * Mad Scientist: Or, as he prefers to call himself, the Crazy Mad Scientist "Hououin Kyouma".
 * The Nicknamer: Enjoys giving other people nicknames based on their deeds, except Mayuri, who already coined her own nickname "Mayushii", and Faris, whom already goes by that name in public anyway. Only Daru and Kurisu object to their given nicknames, though Daru gets more annoyed that Okabe calls him "Hack" rather than "Hacker". As for Kurisu...well, any nickname he gives her just irritates her.
 * Phrase Catcher: "You're the last person I want to hear that from."
 * Screw Destiny
 * Seen It All
 * Tsundere: He's not as blatant as Kurisu, but he fills this category as well, as is cheerfully pointed out by Mayuri.
 * Would Hit a Girl:.

Mayuri Shiina
"Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa"

A 16-year-old high school student and Okabe's childhood friend. She works at May Queen and is also a cosplay designer. .


 * Break the Cutie: Very much so.
 * Catch Phrase: Her "Tuturu~" whenever she greets someone.
 * Cat Smile: Justified that she work as a waitress in a cat themed maid cafe.
 * Childhood Friends: With Okabe.
 * Cosplay Otaku Girl: She loves cosplay, but is only interested in making the costumes and having others wear them.
 * The Cutie: Easily the most adorable member of Future Gadget Lab
 * The Ditz: She tends not to understand anything that's going on in the lab and, unlike Daru, doesn't seem to get it even after having it simplified. When Mayuri says that one of the names Kurisu came up for to describe what they're doing was too complicated, Kurisu nearly says it doesn't count because Mayuri is dumb, which Okabe catches her on.
 * Gamer Chick: She's a big fan of RaiNet, but there's no indication that she's actually any good at it. Rather, she just thinks the mascot is adorable.
 * Green Eyes
 * In-Series Nickname: "Mayushii", a nickname she gives to herself, itself a corruption of her name: Mayuri Shiina.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness: She's a pretty mild example: while Okabe and Daru are all gung-ho about hacking into SERN and other dubious activities, Mayuri disapproves even when it's clear that SERN is up to some pretty shady business.
 * Nice Hat: Almost always wears a wide brimmed, frilly looking blue hat.
 * Smarter Than You Look: Despite what her ditzy mannerisms might suggest, she can be very insightful.
 * Third Person Person: Always refers to herself as Mayushii instead of using a pronoun.
 * : Ambiguous, but implied in the true ending.
 * : Ambiguous, but implied in the true ending.

Kurisu Makise
"Voiced by: Asami Imai (JP), Trina Nishimura (EN)"

An 18-year-old Teen Genius killed in the initial timeline, only to reappear alive and well in another. She later becomes a lab member, and starts working along with Daru in the creation of new gadgets. .


 * Abusive Parents/Parental Neglect: Kurisu's father keeps a distance from her, downright refusing to see her..
 * Adaptation Dye Job: Kurisu's hair is brown in the original visual novel, but has red hair in the anime.
 * Blue Eyes: And they're pretty big, too.
 * Broken Bird
 * Captain Ersatz: Looks very similar to Tsubaki Yayoi (anime only) in terms of appearance, she even has the same voice actor to boot!
 * Closet Geek: She often quotes internet memes, denies being an OTP without any hesitation, and clearly knows what a "tsundere" is. She also does a poor job of hiding her geeky side though.
 * Crippling Overspecialization: Non-action variety. She took up maths and science from a young age, but sacrificed education in pretty much everything else to a point where even her social skills left a lot to be desired.
 * Cry Cute: In episode 5, after Okabe, already irate at losing a board game with her, yells at her for calling him by his real name, and then calling her "Christina".
 * Guilty Pleasure: Posting on 2channel, dropping internet slang, just to name a few. Often becomes embarrassed when Daru and Okarin points them out.
 * In-Series Nickname: Multiple nicknames used by Okabe, mainly "Christina". There's also "The Zombie" or simply "Assistant"; there was also the short lived "Celebrity 7" or "Celeb-7", and each one seems to piss her off in varying measures. She states that "The Zombie" is the nickname she hates the most.
 * Intelligence Equals Isolation: Prior to knowing Okabe and co., though not so much she isolates herself as others isolate her..
 * Lethal Chef: Her apple pie is considered a lethal weapon.
 * My Name Is Not CHRISTINA!
 * Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Is a neuroscientist, but is apparently well-versed enough in theoretical physics to conceptualize and build a time machine.
 * Pettanko: Maybe only in the anime. In the visual novel, there's a couple of scenes showing she's not that flat-chested.
 * Red Headed Heroine
 * She's Got Legs: Though she's quite short, her legs are rather long, even being longer than her torso. They're also covered by black stockings and a pair of dark short shorts.
 * Teen Genius: From an early age, she studied math and science like crazy at the expense of everything else, which has left her a more respected scientist than her father, even though she's seventeen when the story starts.
 * Took a Level in Badass: She's one of the 2 guest characters in the 2D fighting game Phantom Breaker, and is the only normal human, but she can fight an even match against superpowered adversaries using lab gadgets. It should be noted that she's among the only 2 characters who have 2 supers.
 * Troll: At one point toys with Okabe by hanging up on him when he tries to call her until he talks to her in a more polite manner.
 * Tsundere: A hilariously stereotypical one, at that. Lampshaded by Daru, much to her dismay and denial.
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: She wears a pair as part of her default attire, with a pair of stockings underneath.
 * Yandere: Just... Listen to this drama CD.
 * Yandere: Just... Listen to this drama CD.

Itaru Hashida/Daru
"Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (JP), Tyson Rinehart (EN)"

Okabe's best friend and a hacker. .


 * Big Fun: He's a big, fat and somewhat messy guy, but he helps keep the mood going with his generally laid back personality.
 * In-Series Nickname: Everybody calls him "Daru".
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: Whenever a girl lets loose an Accidental Innuendo, he'll ask them to repeat it. He also insists on having all the technical stuff explained to him in terms of eroge.
 * Megane
 * My Name Is Not Hakka: It's HACKER!
 * Nice Hat
 * Otaku: 2-D girls are the only girls for him! Except when they aren't, of course.

Mayuri's classmate, a crossdresser boy who works at his family's shrine. .


 * Bokukko
 * Cry Cute: Even cuter than Kurisu!
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady: "But... he's a guy!"
 * : After sending his D-Mail,.
 * Hair Decorations: "But... he's a guy!"
 * In-Series Nickname: "Rukako", used by Okabe.
 * Miko: Despite being male, Luka seems to work as the shrine miko anyway, which doesn't help when it comes to being recognized as male.
 * Purple Eyes
 * Shrinking Violet: He's very shy and quiet, so Okabe seems to have taken it upon himself to give him manliness lessons by practice swinging a fake sword.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: Okabe. Even when, there are still hints dropped that he does have at least a crush on him. He didn't get a lot of screen time to show any interest in anybody else.

Moeka Kiryuu
"Voiced by: Saori Goto"

A silent young woman who prefers to communicate through her cellphone. Seems to be searching the IBN 5100 as well. .

 * The Glasses Come Off: She's missing her glasses when she reveals to the lab members that.
 * In-Series Nickname: Rintaro calls her "Shining Finger" because she can text someone lightning fast.
 * Meganekko: Her glasses help her look withdrawn and timid.
 * Perpetual Frowner: Her life is pretty empty, so she always looks essentially expressionless and depressed. When in the lab for the first time, she seems intrigued by these people, but since she looks so emotionless, it's a little hard to tell.
 * The Quiet One: She hates having to speak, but when using mail, she's a real chatterbox to the point where the frequency of her messages really irritates Okabe. She begins talking just a bit more frequently by the time the movie comes around.
 * Rei Ayanami Expy: Has some shades.
 * Shrinking Violet
 * Signature Device: The phone she always has in her hand. Moeka is almost never seen without, and as mentioned under Berserk Button, she becomes extremely anger if it's taken from her forcefully. She will however, hand it over if asked politely.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo

 * Braids of Action/Tomboyish Sidetails
 * The Determinator
 * Eyes of Gold
 * In-Series Nickname: Rintaro calls her "Part-Time Warrior".
 * Totally Radical: Suzuha often speaks like this. Hell, first thing she says (in Japanese) is "Oha!!", a greeting that was considered to be dated by the 2000's. Maybe she's out of touch...maybe?
 * Walking Spoiler: It isn't easy talking about her without giving away major details of her contributions to the overall story.
 * What the Hell, Hero?: Is visibly weirded out by Okabe's bizarre attempts to speak jive/gratuitous English.

Faris Nyannyan/
"Voiced by: Halko Momoi (JP), Jad Saxton (EN)"

Mayuri's coworker at the May Queen Cafe and the owner. .


 * The Ace: A master of the board game Rai-Net Battle to the extent where she ranks nationally in the competitive scene.
 * Animal Motifs: Clearly, it's cats, since the maid café she works at has a cat theme. She wears a headband with cat ears, and works "meow" into everything she says. Steins;Gate 0 adds a tail and giant cat paw gloves to her attire. Hell, she even behaves like a cat sometimes.

 * In-Series Nickname: Faris is not her real name. Very few people outside her circle of friends even know what her real name is.
 * Meaningful Name: Her real name is
 * Rose-Haired Girl: Her energetic, playful attitude and pink hair matching is quite possibly not a coincidence at all: as much as she loves anime culture and considering the otherwise natural-ish hair colors, it could be dyed.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": "Faris" is apparently the official spelling, but "Feiris" and "Feyris" also see heavy use.
 * Verbal Tic: She even ends her sentences with "-nya".
