Excel Saga (anime)/Characters: Difference between revisions

=== Excel ===

==== Voiced by: [[Kotono Mitsuishi]] (JP); [[Jessica Calvello]] (EN, episodes 1-13), Larissa Wolcott (EN, episodes 14-26) ====

The title character, whose single-minded devotion to the ideals of ACROSS and Il Palazzo drive the plot.

=== Hyatt ===

==== Voiced by: [[Omi Minami]] (JP), [[Monica Rial]] (EN) ====

The second member to join ACROSS.

=== Elgala ===

The third member of ACROSS, only seen in the manga. Elgala was hired in volume 8 and proved to be just as bad at her job as her seniors. While she is just as devoted to Il Palazzo as Excel and Hyatt, Elgala at least questions how Excel leads their missions, but is usually forced to go along with them. Elgala is very vain and materialistic, which constanlty puts her at odds with Excel's extreme penny pinching.

=== Il Palazzo ===

==== Voiced by: [[Takehito Koyasu]] (JP), Jason Douglas (EN) ====

The glorious and charismatic leader of ACROSS. Il Palazzo dreams of total global conquest, but has first set his sights on taking over Fukuoka, Japan, and building from there. Usually Il Palazzo gives out missions to Excel and Hyatt while he sits in his throne room pursuing other hobbies.

=== Menchi/Mince ===

==== Voiced by: Satomi Koorogi (JP), [[Hillary Haag]] (EN) ====

Excel's emergency food supply. Menchi (or Mince in the manga) is a dog of some breed that was picked by Excel while was she was looking for something to eat. Excel relented, and now keeps Menchi around as a backup. Menchi spends most of the time either trying to escape from their apartment or being frightened by Excel and Hyatt, though she gets along a bit better with Elgala.

=== Tooru Watanabe ===

==== Voiced by: [[Ryotaro Okiayu]] (JP), Jay Hickman (EN) ====

The first neighbor introduced and the only one who actually lives next door to Excel and Hyatt.

=== Norikuni Iwata ===

==== Voiced by: [[Showtaro Morikubo]] (JP), Mark Laskowski (EN) ====

Watanabe's "friend". Iwata is dumb as a brick and barrels into everything with enthusiasm and not a lot of forethought. Iwata is either oblivious or does not care that Watanabe hates him, and hangs out in his apartment regardless. He joined the Department of City Security because Watanabe did. As a member of Daitenzin Iwata is usually the first to run into a mission and mess everything up.

=== Daimaru Sumiyoshi ===

Watanabe's other friend and neighbor. Sumiyoshi is smart enough to not go running head first into trouble like Iwata, but not smart enough to avoid trouble altogether and quit working for Kabapu.

=== Misaki Matsuya ===

==== Voiced by: [[Yuka Imai]] (JP), [[Tiffany Grant]] (EN) ====

Arguably the most normal and reasonable person in the cast, Ms. Matsuya began to work for Kabapu around the same time as the others.

=== Dr. Kabapu ===

==== Voiced by: Ryuzaburo Otomo (JP), Mike Kleinhenz (EN) ====

A shadowy government figure, Kabapu is very protective of Fukuoka, but goes about protecting it through bribes, blackmail, and assassinations. He hired Watanabe, Iwata, Sumiyoshi, and Matsuya as a problem solvers / [[Super Sentai]] group known as the Department of City Security, or Daitenzin.

=== Ms. Momochi ===

==== Voiced by: Yumiko Nakanishi (JP), Emily Carter-Essex (EN) ====

Kabapu's secretary. Little is known about Ms. Momochi, including her past, first name, or eye color. The only things known for certain are that she has worked for Kabapu since before the series started, and she is the one that's probably keeping Kabapu's schemes from totally backfiring.

=== Dr. Gojo Shiouji ===

==== Voiced by: [[Kazuhiko Inoue]] (JP), [[Spike Spencer]] (EN) ====

A brilliant roboticist hired by Kabapu to build an android for the Department of City Security. Dr. Shiouji builds Ropponmatsu I, based on Kabapu's designs. When Ropponmatsu I fails to disarm a bomb Shiouji builds a new robot, Ropponmatsu II, [[Lolicon|based on his own preferences]].

=== Ropponmatsu I ===

==== Voiced by: [[Satsuki Yukino]] (JP), Kelli Cousins (EN) ====

The first robot Dr. Shiouji built for Kabapu. Ropponmatsu I was built as a [[Do Anything Robot]], with skills like [[Super Strength]], fighting abilities, and bomb disposal. She's very bad with the last one. Depending on the continuity, she was either rebuilt alongside Ropponmatsu II, or because they share the same power source, Ropponmatsu I can only be activated when Ropponmatsu II is deactivated.

=== Ropponmatsu II (Nishiki) ===

==== Voiced by: [[Satomi Koorogi]] (JP), [[Kira Vincent Davis]] (EN) ====

Ropponmatsu I's replacement after she was blown up. Dr. Shiouji built her more to his liking, so instead of a tough full grown woman, Ropponmatsu II looks and acts like a ten year old girl. She has hyperactive personality that elicits annoyance from her co-workers particularly Iwata, though she gets along with Sumiyoshi. Ropponmatsu II can either work with Ropponmatsu I, or cannot because they have a single power source that they have to share, depending on the continuity.

=== Umi Rengaya ===

Dr. Shiouji's friendly cousin and lab assistant. Umi is love with her cousin, but her almost dangerous levels of stupidity constantly lead her to destroy his lab equipment, earning his ire. The fact that she is fully grown and busty does not help her.

=== Miwa Rengaya ===

Dr. Shiouji's mother, who is much more intelligent than her son. She showed up out of nowhere and moved into Shiouji's lab, then frustrated Shiouji's attempts to find out more about Kabapu and his father and started working with Kabapu. The "affection" she hoists upon her son is the reason he's a [[Lolicon]].

=== Dr. Sekifumi Iwata ===

A parody of Dr. [[Black Jack (Manga)|Black Jack]]. Dr. Iwata is a brilliant but irresponsible doctor whose father owns the hospital. He is kept in check by his assistant. He is Iwata's cousin, whom he hates for giving him a giant X-shaped scar across his face with a pair of scalpels when they were four.

=== Shiki Fukuya ===

Dr. Iwata's [[Beleaguered Assistant]], who was put in charge of keeping an eye on Dr. Iwata by the hospital's administrator. Usually has to restrain or bludgeon Dr. Iwata so he will not do anything criminal or lecherous.

=== The Great Will of the Macrocosm ===

==== Voiced by: [[Yuko Mizutani]] (JP), Kelly Manison (EN) ====

The [[Reset Button]] give form. At first she was simply a gag, a way to bring characters who were killed back to life. Then she got embroiled in the C-Plot when she slept with Pedro, earning him the ire of "That Man". {{spoiler|She is actually the other half of Pedro's Sexy Wife, and is kidnapped by "That Man" as part of his global domination plan.}}

=== Pedro ===

==== Voiced by: [[Takashi Nagasako]] (JP), Rob Mungle (EN) ====

An immigrant worker who worked with Excel on a construction job. His story is the C-plot of the show. He was killed in a fire (caused by Excel) and spends most of the series as a ghost trying to get back to his Sexy Wife and his son Sandora.

=== Pedro's Sexy Wife ===

==== Voiced by: [[Yuko Mizutani]] (JP), Kelly Manison (EN) ====

A [[Housewife]]. She sits around all day while her husband works overseas. She quickly moved on when she found out Pedro had died and married Gomez, who mistreats her and spends all her money. {{spoiler|She is actually the other half of The Great Will of the Macrocosm.}}

=== Nabeshin ===

==== Voiced by: [[Shinichi Watanabe]] (JP), Brett Weaver (EN) ====

The [[Badass]] director of the ''[[Excel Saga (Anime)|Excel Saga]]'' anime and alter ego of [[Shinichi Watanabe]]. He is usually seen doing some cool spy thing in the background, hanging out with the show writers, or arguing with Koshi Rikdo over the direction of the series.

=== "That Man" ===

==== Voiced by: ? (JP), Mike MacRae (EN) ====

A [[Yakuza]] thug who gets angry with Pedro after he sleeps with The Great Will of the Macrocosm and throws him into the ocean. {{spoiler|Is actually the real leader of ACROSS and Il Palazzo's boss. He kidnaps The Great Will and uses the destruction of F City as part of a plan to take over the planet.}}

=== The Puchus ===

The Puchus are an alien race of unknown origin, and are rarely seen in the daylight. They resemble plush toys, and look huggably cute... at first glance.
