Chiko is the elder sister of the Shinmoto siblings and is a 2nd-year college student. She has a blonde hair and blue eyes and is fond of handsome guys.

Chika is the younger brother of the Shinmoto siblings and is a 2nd year high school student. He has blonde hair and blue eyes like his sister. He is popular with the girls in his school which is annoying to his sister.
The Saitō siblings are as weird and quiet as their calm faces. They often visit the Shinmoto siblings when they are bored. Both of the siblings are popular wherever they go.
Mako is the elder sister of the Saitō siblings and a part-time worker outside. Her education status is unknown. She is seen practicing an alien language with her hand puppet in the first episode of the anime. She is an idol otaku.
Mao is the younger brother of the Saitō siblings and a 2nd year high school student, just like Chika. He resembles his sister and is also seen with his hand puppet in the first episode of the anime. Mao seems to have a crush on Chiko.
