Appearance
Gotou is a young slim adult with short black hair that often covers his left eye and has a very short goatee. He wears glasses and casual clothing such as a slight baggy shirt and shorts when working but often portrays himself as a professional office worker or businessman, as he sports a black suit and tie and carries a briefcase when leaving his home for work; a disguise to help keep his true job a secret.

Hime Gotou
She is the only daughter of Kakushi.

Hime's Mother
Kakushi's wife. It is shown that he is devoted to her to the point that even when Hime is grown up, he is still trying to find her and will apparently accept no one else in his heart but her.

Others
Kakei Ami, Shiji Aogu, Keshi Kakeru, and Sumita Rasuna are all assistants in Kakushi's manga job. They all put up the false pretense that Gotou is an office worker for the sake of Hime.
