Shintarou Kisaragi

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A hikikomori (recluse/shut-in) young man with an IQ of 168. In middle school and high school, he performed at the top of his class in National Mock Examinations, but due to the suicide of a close friend (Ayano), he dropped out of his first year of high school. Subsequently, a mysterious software enters into his computer named “Ene,” and, being unable to control her actions, his lifestyle is at a loss. Due to one of Ene’s pranks, his computer breaks down, so both Ene and him go to the department store for shopping where they happen upon a group of terrorists. They end up stopping them together with the Mekakushi Dan. After this, he and Ene come to join the Mekakushi Dan. He is Momo’s brother.

Personality

Ene is a naive, often cheeky, cyber girl who is currently living inside Shintarou's computer. She can invade anything that uses electricity, and goes out of her way to annoy Shintarou - but is also reflective when her pranks go out of hand. She was once a human, but somehow lost her body in an experiment.

Her favorite movies are God-father2 and Tokeishikake O-nge.

つぼみ 木戸 (Tsubomi Kido)
Kido Tsubomi (木戸 つぼみ) is the one who founded the Mekukashi Dan and is currently the leader of it.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A girl that plays the role of the leader of the Mekakushi Dan. She’s essentially good-natured, but struggles to keep the individual members, like Kano and Seto, in line. Using her “eye concealing” ability, she can erase the perception towards objects within a certain distance of herself or her surroundings. She is most always seen listening to music through her earphones.

Kano Shuuya (鹿野 修哉)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A young man with cat-like eyes who belongs to the Mekakushi Dan. Has an unfocused, aloof personality, and always has a smile on his face. Because he teases Mary and Momo a lot, he’s often considered to be a flirt and uncaring, but when it counts, he’s worth relying on. He possesses the power to “deceive one’s eyes,” to be able to manipulate what people around him see and show them something different.

瀬戸 孝助 (Kousuke Seto)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A young man who belongs to the Mekakushi Dan and is from the same orphanage as Kido and Kano. He works as a florist at the shopping center as well as various other fields of work such as traffic control and newspaper delivery. He is also the person that invited Mary into the Mekakushi Dan. With his “eye-stealing” ability, he can read information from any target. However, he dislikes it because, “it’s a power where you steal with glances, without needing communication,” so he rarely uses it. He has a pet hamster named “Hanao.” He also has a habit of wandering around where he shouldn't be.

小桜 茉莉 (Kozakura Mary)
Mary (マリー) is the fourth member of the Mekakushi Dan. She first appeared in Imagination Forest and was designed by Wannyanpu.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A 1/4-Medusa, 3/4-human girl. Her parents told her “We’re medusae, so if we make eye contact with a human they’ll be turned to stone.” While growing up, she always stuck to their words and hid herself away from the world in the forest. Even after they died she continued to live alone. By chance, a boy named Seto visited the forest and found her. He has since brought her to the outside world. After coming to the Mekakushi Dan’s hideout, and joining the group, she leads a sideline life making fake flowers in her room which generates a very small income. When she went into town to buy ingredients, the first people she met were neighborhood children. They bullied her, and she was traumatized by the incident, so she rarely goes outside anymore. Her ability is to “make eye contact”, which allows her to temporarily stop the movement of whoever meets her gaze.

如月 桃 (Kisaragi Momo)
"Kisaragi Momo" (如月　桃) is the fifth member of the Mekakushi Dan. She was designed by Wannyanpu.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A very popular idol in her first year of high school. Ever since a childhood marine accident at the beach with her father, she has the “eye-captivating” power that can draw peoples’ attention regardless of their preferences in tastes or interests. Because of her power she was often alienated from people and had no friends, but since her meeting with the Mekakushi Dan, she regains her original, bright character. She has a peculiar sense in taste and fashion, and as such, it is common for her opinions to disagree with other peoples'.

雨宮 響也 (Amamiya Hibiya)
biya (ヒビヤ) is the eighth member of the Mekakushi Dan

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A boy that visits the city to take summer courses with Hiyori. He is known to be very mature for his age, yet has a cheeky personality. His quarrels with Momo are endless. On August 15, he becomes involved in a certain incident with Hiyori, but is the only one saved, and obtains the “eye focusing” ability under these circumstances.

コノハ (Konoha)
"Kokonose Haruka" (九ノ瀬　遥) is the 9th member of the Mekakushi Dan.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A young man with amnesia. He is currently living at Hiyori’s sister’s house as a foster child. Not knowing about the normal world, he’s rather my-pace (air-headed, lost). In his spare time, he plays baseball with the neighborhood children. He is known to possess a strong curiosity for the unknown. There appears to be another side to him called 'Dark Konoha'.
