The eight main characters are listed in order of their Lab inductions. They are:
 
==Rintaro OkabeThe Main Cast ==
 
=== Rintaro Okabe ===
[[File:128387_3110.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Mamoru Miyano]] (JP), J. Michael Tatum (EN)]]
{{quote|'''EN:''' ''Imma bust out some questions yo, so holla at yer booooiiiiiii! Word to your motha!''
Line 25 ⟶ 27:
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: "[[Insistent Terminology|Call me Hououin Kyouma!]]"
**Inverted in ''Steins;Gate 0'' where he has to remind Faris to not call him Kyouma anymore, much to her dismay.
* [[Epic Fail]]: In Faris' ending, he plays a few friendly RaiNet matches with her. He reveals to us that he lost '''''all 19 of them!'''''
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Quite good at it, and hilarious too!
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
Line 65 ⟶ 68:
***Mayuri, who already coined her own nickname "Mayushii", and Faris, who rarely uses her real name anyway, are exceptions to this.
***Only Daru and Kurisu object to their given nicknames, though Daru more because Okabe calls him "Hack" rather than "Hacker". As for Kurisu...well, no matter what he calls her, it just pisses her off.
* [[One Head Taller]]: The 5'10<nowiki>''</nowiki> Okabe is this next to the 5'3<nowiki>''</nowiki> Kurisu.
** In worldlines in which he can enter a relationship with Faris, he becomes huge guy part of [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]] (he is 3 inches taller than the average Japanese man compared to 4<nowiki>'7''</nowiki> Faris, who is over half a foot shorter than the average Japanese girl).
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "[[Hypocritical Humor|You're the last person I want to hear that from]]."
* [[Screw Destiny]]
Line 75 ⟶ 80:
** Remember how he says, "Word to your mother!" to a foreign person? That is a quote from [[Vanilla Ice]].
*[[Sore Loser]]: Cannot handle losing a game of RaiNet to anyone, be it Kurisu or Suzuha, and especially gets pissed off when Kurisu outsmarts him in a debate. Cannot stand that Faris plays into his delusional ramblings so effortlessly since he feels she does it better he does, and thus cannot beat her.
*[[Talking to Himself]]: There are times when he'll whip out his phone as if to talk with his cohort. First time he does this in front of Kurisu, she accurately surmises that he's doing just that.
*[[Tickle Torture]]: ''My Darling's Embrace'' reveals that Okabe is rather ticklish, as described under Shirtless Scene above.
* [[Tsundere]]: He's not as blatant as Kurisu, but he fills this category as well, as is cheerfully pointed out by Mayuri.
Line 81 ⟶ 87:
**In ''My Darling Embrace'', he accidentally hurts Faris while trying to steal her cat ears as payback for teasing him (not realising until he gets a closer look that they are attached with hair clips rather than being part of a headband).
 
=== Mayuri Shiina ===
[[File:mayushii_4945.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Kana Hanazawa]] (JP), Ashly Burch (credited as Jackie Ross), Megan Shipman (''Steins;Gate 0'', Episode 14 onwards) (EN)]]
{{quote|''Tutturuuu! I prefer "Mayushii."|Her introduction as Lab Member 002}}
Line 115 ⟶ 121:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: The only character to change voice actress at any point, with Ashly Burch being replaced with Megan Shipman in the second half of ''Steins;Gate 0''. However, the voices are near enough identical to where you wouldn't notice the difference.
*[[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Downplayed, since she's already rather pretty to begin with, but nevertheless, she becomes so beautiful when preparing for her photoshoot in her route in ''My Darling's Embrace,'' that even Okabe is stunned into silence''.''
*[[Shout-Out]]: The costume she makes for Suzuha in "FugueAgape of Ruin EndRoot" is modelled after Mei Orisaka from the ''Phantom Breaker'' series, another 5pb. property.
* [[Smarter Than You Look]]: Despite what her ditzy mannerisms might suggest, she can be very insightful. After all, she was the one who figured out who Suzuha's dad was.
*[[Static Character]]: Mayuri is sweet, innocent, and a little slow from the beginning of the series. Unfortunately, she isn't given much character development and she remains as sweet, innocent, and a little slow by the end.
Line 127 ⟶ 133:
**That said, a possible romance arc between the two is explored in ''My Darling's Embrace'' as a potential [[What Could Have Been|What Could Be]] scenario.
 
=== Itaru Hashida/Daru ===
{{quote|''You know you said "You just wanna see me eat a banana" just a moment ago? Could you repeat that for me? Only, with more of a whisper?|One of many examples of Daru asking for a repeat of a Double Entendre}}
 
Line 135 ⟶ 141:
----
* [[Berserk Button]]: Two big ones:
**Apathy towards a friend's suffering (ege.g., Okabe's non-reaction to Mayuri dying of a heart attack).
**That one time a power cut disrupts his eroge game sessions.
*[[Big Fun]]: He's a big, fat and somewhat messy guy, but he helps keep the mood going with his generally laid-back personality.
Line 167 ⟶ 173:
* [[Younger Than They Look|Younger Than He Looks]]: You'd think Daru was in his mid-20's by how he acts, looks, and sounds, but you'd be wrong; he's 19, a year older than Okabe.
 
=== Kurisu Makise ===
[[File:114399_4218.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Asami Imai]] (JP), Trina Nishimura (EN)]]
{{quote|''Oh for the love of- Could you be any more of a Wesley?''|Kurisu accidentally slipping internet slang into her dialogue}}
Line 195 ⟶ 201:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Only in the anime, and she has quite the temper to match.
* [[Guilty Pleasure]]: Posting on 2channel, dropping internet slang, just to name a few. Often becomes embarrassed when Daru and Okarin points them out.
* [[Hold Me]]: She may have been drunk out of her mind, but she says this to Okabe when the two are alone together in the movie.
* [[Hypocrite]]: In the 3rd ''Soumei Eichi no Cognitive Computing'' short, she criticises both Okabe and Daru for wearing the same clothes every day, but as Okabe points out, she is never seen wearing any other clothes besides her default outfit herself.
** [[Hypocritical Humor|Hypocritical Humour]]: She teases Okabe about being a virgin, only to then let it slip that she is one herself.
Line 205 ⟶ 212:
* [[Jerkass]]: She has many shades of this at times, as she can be rude, defensive, and needlessly confrontational towards Okabe. In her defense though, he didn't exactly make a very good first impression with her.
**Averted when she interacts with other females ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|and Ruka]]), particularly Mayuri.
**[[Jerkass Has a Point]]: Even when she's being rude about it, it can be hard to refute her when she does have a point to make. For example, she isn't that sympathetic towards Okabe after he nearly drowns by pointing out that he tried to pull off a swimming move he was incapable of doing; sure, she doesn't need to rub it in like that, but she isn't wrong about it.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Her apple pie is considered a lethal weapon. It was bad enough to make Suzuha angry.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood|My Name Is Not CHRISTINA!]]: That pretty much speaks for itself...
Line 228 ⟶ 236:
* {{spoiler|[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Implied to be her fate at SERN's hands, after she completed the time machine for them in 2034}}.
 
=== Moeka Kiryuu ===
[[File:moebitch_1091.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Saori Goto]] (JP), Jessica Cavanagh (EN)]]
{{quote|''First off: You have access to knowledge you shouldn't have. Second: You built a time machine. And third: You intended to go public with it.''|Moeka's explanation of why she is targetting the Future Gadget Lab}}
Line 238 ⟶ 246:
*[[Berserk Button]]: She is super attached to her mobile phone; try to snatch it from her, and she goes berserk until she retrieves it! Even offering to input your contact info for her causes her to get antsy.
*{{spoiler|[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]}}: Subverted in the sense that she isn't ruthless because she's trained to be a cold-hearted killer, but rather because her emotional vulnerability makes her easy to manipulate into doing other people's biddings.
*[[Conflicting Loyalty]]: Her episode in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram,'' "The Quantum Awakening", retells the first half of the original game through Moeka's eyes. The key difference being that she spends more time bonding with the other Lab Mems rather than just being a {{Spoiler|SERN mole}}. We get some insight into what's running through her mind as she struggles to decide whether her loyalty lies with her new friends, or her contact. We also see the kind of stress this internal conflict has on her, mentally and emotionally.
*[[Drunk Personality Change]]: Though we only see a flash of this in the movie, once she has had a couple, Moeka becomes a lot more lively compared to her usual reclusive self.
*[[Dark and Troubled Past]]: She was the product of an unwanted pregnancy, thus was most likely subjected to a lot of abuse from her parents until they just abandoned her. She was also ostracized by her peers during high school, and even made attempts on her own life because of how worthless she felt growing up. Her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' explores this, as she mentions that she wanted to die in the past, her difficulties with socialising, before she tearfully acknowledges her feelings of worthlessness and why she feels that way to Okabe when he asks her directly why she runs away from people who do care about her.
Line 280 ⟶ 289:
**Moeka is afraid of this trope in ''Steins;Gate 0''. Learning about the potential of AI has led her to become fearful that technology will replace human workers in the future, but she already feels inadequate since she feels she doesn't have any special talents or unique skills, and she believes she can be easily replaced. After spending time with Maho however, she eventually snaps out of this mindset.
 
=== Ruka Urushibara ===
[[File:rukako_3830.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Yuu Kobayashi]] (JP), Lindsay Seidel (EN)]]
{{quote|''Urushibara Ruka: Delicate as an orchid, fair as cherry blossom. The personification of feminine grace...and a dude.''|Okabe's description of Ruka}}
Line 318 ⟶ 327:
* {{spoiler|[[Transgender]]: Why she sends her D-Mail}}.
 
=== Faris NyanNyan/{{spoiler|Rumiho Akiha}} ===
[[File:113750_7317.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' Haruko Momoi (JP), Jad Saxton (EN)]]
{{quote|''Uuuuuuuuummmmmmm...meow meow meow!''}}
 
Mayuri's co-worker at the May Queen Cafe, which she also owns. She is also a skilled RaiNet player, but she chooses not to compete in tournaments officially. {{spoiler|After she sends her D-Mail, Akihabara loses everything related with moe culture as her father is still alive. She also is the first character to remember memories from other timelines apart from Okabe and Ruka}}. She is Lab Member 007; a designation Okabe reluctantly gives her when she wants to send a D-mail.
Line 336 ⟶ 345:
*[[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Faris sometimes shows shades of this when she doesn't get what she wants, mainly when Okabe doesn't play along with her bizarre stories. A more humorous example is when she runs up to a random person wearing an Upa costume, hugs them, and throws a tantrum when Suzuha drags her away.
**Cold rejection though (as Daru once showed us) will really open up the waterworks for her.
* [[Catgirl]]: Justified that she works as waitress in a cat themed maid café, which she also happens to own. Okabe even lampshades how much she looks like a cat when she smiles. She also loves having her head rubbed. Whether she's speaking in English or Japanese, she sprinkles cat lingo into half the stuff she says; even Fubuki lampshades this in the special episode of ''Steins;Gate 0.''
{{Quote|'''Fubuki:''' ''Did she [Faris] just say "Meow-ment?"''}}
* [[Cat Smile]]: Her default expression is a playful smile. Not so much in the anime adaptation of the original ''Steins;Gate'', though it comes back in ''Steins;Gate 0''.
* [[Childhood Friends]]: To her surprise, she is revealed to be one with Kurisu in "Vermillion Soteria" thanks to the pre-existing friendship between their fathers.
*[[Cloudcuckoolander]]: She is every bit as barmy as Okabe (minus the evil laughter), but being quick witted has its advantages, since she will absorb his ramblings and add them to hers. Once she drops her mask however, she is much more elegant and soft-spoken, but she still retains a mischievous aura.
**The way that she and Okabe are able to carry these odd conversations so effortlessly like they're completely normal even impresses Kurisu somewhat, albeit in the sense that she's more confused by it.
*[[Color Failure|Colour Failure]]: During ''0's'' Valentine's Day episode, the girls' attempt to make Valentine's Day chocolates ends in such a disaster that this happens to her. Probably the one time she shows signs of distress.
**Also happens to her butler, Kuroki, in Episode 10 after Maho (and later Moeka) turns her guest room into a rubbish tip.
Line 346 ⟶ 356:
*[[Crocodile Tears]]: She tends to do this quite often just to get whatever she wants. In regard to wanting to use the Time Leap Machine to win a RaiNet match, she pulls this trick on Okabe when he casts doubt on her that she intends to use it for this reason.
**She may or may not have pulled this trick on Ruka to persuade him to take the lead role for her café's PV, but since the game only uses static sprites, that's up for debate.
**She ends up crying for real later on in her ending when she realises that {{Spoiler|Okabe has no memories of histheir relationshp with herrelationship.}}
* [[Cry Cute]]: {{spoiler|When she decides to undo the effects of her D-Mail}}. In general though, she is prone to just bursting into tears at the slightest provocation, more so in the games.
**You'll even notice that she has tears running down her cheeks in one of her sprites if you look closely.
**Does it again during Suzuha's route in ''My Darling's Embrace'', which has Daru coldly brushing off her flirtatious advances, causing her to burst into tears.
* [[Cuddle Bug]]: Faris tends to get rather cuddly with Okabe on multiple occasions in ''Steins;Gate 0.''
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Pink hair and pink eyes, though her eyes are closer to burgundy in the anime.
* [[The Cutie]]: Particularly when she's into her stage persona, Faris NyanNyan. Even when she's not playing a character, she's still adorable. Her cat-like mannerisms certainly help, and her winter outfit in ''0'' makes her even cuter.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: When the lab mems take up work at MayQueen in one worldline, she gives Ruka the professional name "Luka Nyan Nyannyan". Yes, really.
* {{spoiler|[[Disappeared Dad]]: Her father died, but he's alive in the timelines after she sent her D-Mail}}.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Of the non-dangerous variety, but she will use her sweet charm and feline mannerisms to charm any man to her whim (of course, wearing a French maid uniform certainly helps). Tries using these to get Okabe to spill the beans on his time travel antics, but Okabe isn't so easily tempted by her seductive trickery. Daru on the other hand...
* [[Foil]]: to her business rival, 4°C/Shido. Faris believes strongly in excellent customer service, treating her workers with love and respect, and making her establishment warm and inviting, while Shido only cares about profitability and will use any underhanded methods to achieve his goals.
* [[Gamer Chick]]: Not just a fan of RaiNet Battle, but she's also a competitive player, and she's pretty damn good at it too it seems. She's also a huge fan of retro PCs.
*[[Girlish Pigtails]]
** [[Princess Curls]]
* [[The Glomp]]: She glomps a random guy in an Upa costume when she overheats in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram''. Does so to Okabe a few times in ''0.''
*[[Hidden Buxom]]: Zigzagged: her casual attire hides her bust quite well, while her maid uniform is much more form-fitting.
*[[I Lied]]: During her route in ''My Darling's Embrace,'' she has a "spell" that makes Okabe fall in love with her if he hears her real name. By the end though, she admits that she lied about it, and confesses she's the one who falls in love with whoever calls her by her real name. By the sounds of it, she was waiting on Okabe specifically to do so.
*[[Iconic Item]]: Notice how frequently those cat ears are mentioned? You can count the number of scenes where she '''doesn't''' wear them on one hand.
*[[Improbable Age]]: Would you believe that 17-year-old Faris (a.k.a {{Spoiler|Rumiho Akiha}}) is actually the owner of {{Spoiler|'''all''' of Akihabara}}?
* [[Large Ham]]: Faris loves her theatrics just as much as Okabe does, especially when they're talking to each other.
*[[In-Series Nickname]]: Faris Nyannyan is not her real name; it is simply her professional name while she's at work, and when she plays RaiNet. Her actual name is a mystery to most. She'd rather you call her Faris, though she isn't deterred by using her real name.
* [[Large Ham]]: Faris loves her theatrics just as much as Okabe does, especially when they're talking to each other.
* [[Living Lie Detector]]: She can spot whether a person is being dishonest or not simply by looking into their eyes. She calls this "Cheshire Break", but it's just razor-sharp intuition.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her real name is {{Spoiler|"Rumiho Akiha" as in "Akihabara", due to the influence on the city's Moe culture.}}
**Since "Nyan Nyan" is Japanese for "meow meow", and she has a cat motif, her stage name also makes sense.
**"Faris" means "knight" in Arabic. Knights are, of course, associated with heroism,. which isConsidering the personatype thatof Farischuunibyou hastales givenshe herself.tells, this isn't that farfetched.
*[[Meido]]: She works in and owns the May Queen maid café. Need we say anymore?
* [[Moe]]: Only seems natural considering her influence on Moe culture in Akihabara. Her playful, energetic, and cutesy mannerisms only serve to reinforce this.
Line 375 ⟶ 386:
*[[Otaku]]: Loves anime, moe, and otaku culture, even dressing as a stereotypical anime character.
*[[Precision F-Strike]]: The usually cheery and playful Faris outright calls Shido a bastard when talking about his underhanded/law breaking business tactics. A surprising moment since Faris very, '''''very''''' rarely shows her anger and frustration in front of anyone.
*[[Pseudonym]]: Obviously, Faris Nyannyan is not her real name, rather it is a pseudonym she uses in public whether she's at work or attending RaiNet competitions. Only her family and closest friends know what her real name is.
*[[Rapunzel Hair]]: When her massive twin tails are undone, her hair is very long.
*[[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]]: Though not as strong as Okabe's Reading Steiner, Faris is able to {{Spoiler|remember her life from the original timeline as a maid café owner when Okabe takes her to the building that MayQueen originally occupied}}.
Line 397 ⟶ 409:
* [[Verbal Tic]]: She ends her sentences with "-nya", or the word's English equivalent, "-meow".
 
=== Suzuha Amane ===
[[File:113764_4425.jpg|frame|'''Voiced by:''' [[Yukari Tamura]] (JP), Cherami Leigh (EN)]]
{{quote|''HEY YOU GUUUYYYYSSS!!! Sorry, that's how the kids are saying "What's up!" these days.''|Suzuha's bizarre self-introduction}}
Line 410 ⟶ 422:
**In "Vermillion Soteria", Kurisu describes a woman with braided hair who rides a bicycle. It is painfully obvious who she's referring to.
*[[Cat Smile]]: often has one in the VN's, like Mayuri and Faris.
*[[Cruel to Be Kind]]: Employs this tactic on Daru by slinging a barrage of insults at him to get him to stop fawning over her. It backfires spectacularly as he only ends up falling for her even more!
*[[The Cutie]]: Not to the same extent as Mayuri or Faris, but she can still be adorable at times.
*[[Death Glare]]: Shoots one at Kurisu every time their eyes meet during the first half of the anime.
Line 434 ⟶ 447:
*[[Rewatch Bonus]]: A lot of Suzuha's early appearances in the beginning of the series make a lot more sense in context upon repeated viewings.
*[[Shout-Out]]: The very first thing she says is a reference to a certain scene in ''[[The Goonies]]''.
**Indirectly, her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' is simply the plot of ''Back to the Future.''
* [[Slacker]]: Much to Mr. Braun's annoyance, Suzuha tends to slack off from her work.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Omega Suzuha fits this trope to a T. She argues with her Alpha and Beta selves frequently, tries to have the last word, and pouts like a child in a sprite only this version of Suzuha has. That doesn't mean to say that Alpha Suzuha doesn't act like one herself sometimes.
*[[Talking to Herself]]: In ''Linear Bounded Phenogram,'' she seeks advice and comfort from her Beta and Omega selves. Only she can see them.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: She is more Tomboy-ish compared to the other girls, but she has shades of both characteristics. Omega Suzuha is 100% a Girly Girl.
Line 443 ⟶ 457:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Is visibly weirded out by Okabe's bizarre attempts to speak jive/gratuitous English.
{{Quote|''I can't believe you said "Word to your Mother" to this guy, you freak.''}}
 
==Yuugo Tennouji ==
== Side Characters ==
 
=== Yuugo Tennouji ===
{{quote|''Don't encourage the guy! He's already whacked enough as it is!.''|Tennouji's nutshell description of Okabe to Suzuha}}
 
Line 465 ⟶ 482:
*[[Walking Spoiler]]: It is difficult to talk about his involvement in the second half of the story without spoiling his true identity.
 
=== Nae Tennouji ===
{{quote|''Umm, how do you wash your brain?''|Nae questioning the concept of brainwashing}}
 
Line 473 ⟶ 490:
----
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Will be [https://web.archive.org/web/20150408122653/http://dalian.7thstyle.com/2012/04/roboticsnotes-nae-character-steinsgate-009.jpg appearing] in ''Robotics;Notes'' [[She's All Grown Up|all grown up]].
* [[The Atoner]]: She's the one who apologies to Okabe on her dad's behalf after he is assaulted by the latter.
*[[Children Are Innocent]] -> {{spoiler|[[Enfant Terrible]]}}
* [[The Cutie]]: It is through their interactions with playful, sweet, innocent Nae that many of the characters reveal their soft sides.
Line 487 ⟶ 505:
*[[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: When pressed by her dad about Suzuha being outside with her, she responds that she was, "but she definitely wasn't slacking off!"
 
==Yuki {{spoiler|Amane}}Minor Characters ==
 
=== Yuki {{spoiler|Amane}} ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' {{spoiler|[[Yukari Tamura]] (JP), Cherami Leigh (EN)}}}}
Appears in the 25th episode: she is a woman whom Rintaro initially mistakes for Suzuha. {{spoiler|Actually, she is Suzuha's future mother and Itaru's wife-to-be}}.
Line 493 ⟶ 513:
'''This character's section has been moved to the character page for ''Steins;Gate 0''. For more information about this character, go to [[Steins;Gate 0/Characters|this page here]].'''
 
=== 4°C/Shido ===
{{Quote|''...if you bear your fangs to me, I'll make sure you'll never work in this town again.Hehehehehe! AHAHAHAHAHA!''|Shido's vow to ruin Faris' career in ''My Darling's Embrace''}}
'''Voiced by''': Minoru Shiraishi (JP), Ian Sinclair (EN)
Line 500 ⟶ 520:
----
* [[0% Approval Rating]]: Not matter what the story is, Shido and his gang are universally hated. An example is in Faris' route in which he is a white-collar criminal looking to monopolize the maid café scene in Akiba using illicit tactics like intimidation and bribery to buy out the competition. He even makes his maid wear skimpy outfits to attract more customers, something that really irritates Faris enough to call him a bastard for it.
* [[Blatant Lies]]: Insists that he didn't cheat during the RaiNet finals. Because y'know, having your lacky stand in the audience to [[Sarcasm Mode|point a laser pen in your opponent's eyes to throw them off their game definitely doesn't qualify as cheating]] in any way!
* [[Break Them by Talking]]: Attempts this with Faris by taunting her relentlessly to break her competitive spirit. It didn't work though as Faris revealed she was wearing earplugs.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Losing a RaiNet match to Faris is enough to upset him.
Line 508 ⟶ 529:
* [[Color Motif|Colour Motif]]: He is obsessed with the colour black ("kuro" in Japanese), to the point of ramming it into everything he says.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: The role he is elevated to in Faris' route in the spin-off game.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Always has his goons around and is not above assaulting someone when they least suspect it.
* [[The Faceless]]: In the anime only; we hear him on the phone, but he doesn't make a physical appearance.
* [[Greek Mythology]]: While Okabe has a fondness for Norse mythology, Shido leans more towards Greek mythology as hinted by his constant references by Gaia.
* [[Hate Sink]]: Delusional, sketchy, foul-mouthed, hateful, just unpleasant in every way? Yeah, he qualifies!
* [[Hypocrite]]: Calls Faris' "Cheshire Break" technique cheating while having his lackies use a laser pen to distract her.
* [[Ignorant of His Own Ignorance]]: He seems to think that ice can cause burns. It doesn't, it causes frostbite. Even Okabe has to point this out to him!
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: Wears a beanie hat that is slightly tilted. It falls off in a physical altercation, revealing that he is hiding a bald spot.
Line 519 ⟶ 542:
* [[Put on a Bus]]: He isn't seen, nor even mentioned in ''Steins;Gate 0''.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Angry and violent with a noticeably darker skin tone compared to everyone else.
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Sore Loser]]: Extends to his whole gang. As Faris describes them, they would sooner drown a puppy than lose a tournament to her.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: He has a rather impressive one when Okabe and co. show him Moeka's article uncovering his shady business dealings, breaking into hysterical laughter, before being reduced to a panic-stricken mess when Daru's research is shown to him (said research contains proof of fake businesses, personal bank accounts he doesn't own, and a shady cash flow hinting at tax fraud). All of this causes he and his goons to flee in abject terror when he realises, they aren't screwing around.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Hits Faris square in the head (though it was more bad luck on her end) after she refuses to give in to his demands.
 
=== Kuroki ===
{{Quote|''The young mistress will be with you shortly.''|Kuroki as he greets Okabe and co.}}
A minor character in the series. Not much is known about Kuroki, other than the fact that he is Faris' butler. Though he only makes a one-off appearance in the original game and anime, he is more involved in other characters' stories in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram.''
