Characters
Schoolchildren / teenagers
Kashima Ryūichi is a student. After the death of his parents, he and his younger brother are adopted by the chairwoman. He looks after his brother and works in the school's day care center outside of the lessons. He is seen as personable by day children and practically everyone he meets.
Kamitani Hayato is Ryū's stoic classmate and a member of the babysitting club.
Inomata Maria is a serious student and took 1st place in the upper level (1-A). She is an advocate of the rules and scolds students who go to school for purposes other than study. In the course of the series, she makes friends and is less strict with herself and those around her.
Ushimaru Yuki is Ryūichi's classmate and is secretly in love with him. The tennis club member is not used to being with children and is overwhelmed when they are annoyed by them. She befriends Inomata, partly because of their mutual sympathy for Ryūichi.
Inui Hiroyuki is an unhappy sophomore student and introduced himself as in love with Yukari (Midori's mother). He overcomes his crush and falls in love with Inomata. Sometimes he helps Kotarō in his disguise and causes the toddler to worship his secret identity as a hero.
Nezu Chūkichi is Tomoya's best friend and classmate in the advanced class (1-A), where he is second after Inomata. He is considered very practical, comes from a poor background and has five siblings.
Yagi Tomoya is Inomata's advanced class (1-A) classmate and Nezu's best friend. He breaks out in a nosebleed when he sees one of the children and is therefore often labeled a pervert. His cheerful demeanor hides his feeling of loneliness caused by his sister's busyness and the constant absence of his parents.
children
Kashima Kotarō is Ryūichi's younger brother. He was a baby when his parents died and is very close friends with Ryu. He hardly shows his feelings, but it is easy to see what he is feeling. He is very good friends with everyone in the daycare center.
Kamitani Taka is Hayato's cheeky little brother and one of the children in the day care center. He is the son of the middle school science teacher Shizuka and the chemistry teacher at the Hebihara Taizo high school.
Kumatsuka Kirin is the confident daughter of the acting teachers Yayoi and Satoru. She is looked after in the babysitting club.
Mamizuka Takuma is the older, energetic of the Mamizuka twins and the son of the physical education teacher Umi and the actor Kōsuke. He is looked after in the babysitting club.
Mamizuka Kazuma is the younger, tearful of the Mamizuka twins. He is looked after in the babysitting club.
Sawatori Midori is the only baby in the daycare and is usually under the supervision of Usaida. She is the daughter of Yukari, who works in the high school office, and Yutaka.
Employees / parents
Morinomiya Yōko is the strict but secretly caring head of the school. Her son and daughter-in-law died in the same plane crash as the parents of the Kashima brothers. Ryūichi and Kotarō call her "grandmother".
Saikawa Keigo is an associate of the Chair who little is known about. He is considered her butler, although his official job title is unknown, and also works as her secretary. He can adapt quickly to any situation and be overly sincere.
Kamitani Shizuka: The mother of Taka and Hayato is a middle school science teacher and formerly married to Hebihara Taizō.
Hebihara Taizō is the strict high school chemistry teacher and Takas and Hayato's father, but divorced from Shizuka.
Kumatsuka Yayoi is a soft-spoken theater teacher and mother of Kirin who enjoys dressing up Ryũichi in costumes from the theater department. She is married to Satoru.
Kumatsuka Satoru is a freelance photographer, Kirin's father and Yayoi's husband. He is very protective of his daughter Kirin and forbids her to kiss or get close to any of the boys in the daycare, especially Kotaro. Satoru also becomes extremely jealous when his wife Yayoi talks to someone of the opposite sex. He's a very lively person when his daughter is around and always has a digital camera in hand to take pictures.
Mamizuka Umi is Kazuma's and Takuma's mother. She is a physical education teacher at the Morinomiya Academy. She shares a cheerful personality with her son Takuma and often comforts her more shy son Kazuma as well as her equally shy husband Kōsuke.
Mamizuka Kōsuke is Kazuma's and Takuma's father. He is also a famous actor and very popular with his fans. But because of that he can't see his sons as often as he wanted, which led to Kazuma and Takuma distancing themselves from him. However, with Ryūichi's encouragement, he ultimately overcomes this barrier. He's a crybaby and, in contrast to his actor personality, very shy and emotional, but also friendly. He often appears in sketchy disguises.
Sawatori Yukari is the friendly mother of the baby Midori and married to Yutaka. She works in the high school office as a receptionist.
Sawatori Yutaka is Midori's father and Yukari's husband. His work as an archaeologist often keeps him away from home on expeditions. His face is rarely shown, and the lower part of his face is usually covered with a huge beard. He has a deep, booming voice in the anime series that makes him seem a lot older than he actually is.
Usaida Yoshihito is a sleepy daycare worker and their only official. Secretly, he is a serious and hardworking person.
