Love Hina
|
The series centers around Urashima Keitaro, a young man desperately trying to be accepted into the extremely prestigious Toudai (University of Tokyo) in order to keep a childhood promise. He becomes manager of the Hinata Sou, property of his family and now an all-girls' dormitory, which houses a fair amount of girls of all different temperaments.
Main Characters:
Urashima Keitaro:
Keitaro is a 20 year-old student who at the start of Love Hina is trying to get into Tokyo Daigaku.
After failing the entrance exams twice and becoming a second-year Ronin, he is kicked out of his parents' house and goes to his grandmother's hotel, thinking he might be able to stay there.
Naru Narusegawa:
Naru is a 17-year old student at Keitaro's cram school with an extremely fiery temper. Of all the girls in the Hinata Sou, Keitaro manages to annoy her the most, usually by accidentally grabbing her in unfortunate places or walking in on her while she is naked or changing her clothes.
Otohime Mutsumi:
Mutsumi is a very gentle, very frail, clumsy and soft-spoken 21 year old girl who lives in Okinawa. Keitaro and Naru meet her while taking some time off for a brief vacation after flunking their entrance exams. (In the anime, Keitaro has a brief and near-fatal encounter with her on his way to the entrance exam.) Like Keitaro and Naru, Mutusmi had just flunked her entrance exam for Tokyo U, and was also taking a trip to get a hold of herself again. And like Keitaro, she too is a third year Ronin.
Maehara Shinobu:
Shinobu is a 12-year old schoolgirl who, after a bad start in which Keitaro lied about being in Tokyo Daigaku and his subsequent failed attempts to make it up to her, develops quite a crush on Keitaro (or Sempai - a Japanese term for elder - as she calls him). In the anime, she is first introduced as a grieving girl who has run away from home due to domestic turmoil, however, in the manga she is already at the Hinata Sou when Keitaro arrives.
Aoyama Motoko:
Motoko is a 15-year old school girl who is extremely serious, athletic and into Kendo. She has difficulty dealing with other people, especially males; she finds men to be a distraction that keep her from being able to concentrate fully on her studies and kendo practice. Her relationship with Keitaro initially resembles Naru's relationship with him; he all too often finds himself on the receiving end of various attacks as a result of his frequent mishaps. She eventually mellows out as she becomes used to him and eventually finds herself developing feelings for him.
Kaolla Su:
Kaolla Su is a 13-year old foreign transfer student. It is not clear exactly where she is from, though both the anime and manga depict her as having a somewhat middle-eastern influence, and both specify that she is not Indian. She is a very hyperactive girl who is usually either kicking someone, trying to eat something or inventing some potentially dangerous new device.
Konno Mitsune:
Mitsune (a.k.a. Kitsune) is a 19-year old freelance writer who is frequently drunk, teasing Keitaro, or both - often at the same time. She's a practical joker and troublemaker extraordinaire; her mission in life seems to be to ensure that things never get too dull nor those around her too complacent.
Urashima Haruka:
Urashima Haruka is Keitaro's relative. She helps Keitaro manage Hinata and provides sound advice. She is most commonly referred to as Keitaro's aunt; however there is evidence in both the manga and anime that she may be his cousin, instead. The confusion seems to arise from the Japanese language term Keitaro refers to her with, which can apparently mean either 'aunt' or 'old woman', depending on context.
Noriyasu Seta:
Seta is a Tokyo Daigaku graduate and professor there who specialises in archaeology. Like Keitaro, he was a third-year Ronin. He's clumsy, a terrible driver, and an exceptionally skilled martial artist.
Sarah MacDougal:
Sarah is Seta's adopted daughter, and generaly delights in making Keitaro's life miserable. However, like most of the girls in the story, she eventually warms to him, even if she still calls him names.
