This is a list of fictional characters from the Japanese anime television series, ''Fafner in the Azure''. == Main characters == ; : Voiced by: Makoto Ishii (Japanese), Kevin Hatcher (English, TV series), Micah Solusod (English, ''Heaven and Earth'') : Kazuki is very quiet which makes it seem like he has a cold personality, but he is in fact a very kind and sincere character. He has a fear of hurting those around him, which causes him to distance himself from everybody - even his friends. : Like most of the children on Tatsumiya Island, he had no idea the Earth was under invasion and strives throughout the series to understand why the adults hid this from him, and especially, why his estranged childhood friend Sōshi is so willing to do whatever it takes to defend this humble island. Naturally, to someone with such a gentle nature, having to fight for his life constantly is a bewildering experience that causes him to question who he is and what he believes in, but he really grows as a person over the course of the story and becomes everything a real and uncliched hero ought to be. : Kazuki is originally the pilot of the Mark Elf (XI), but is given the much more powerful Salvator-Type Fafner, the Mark Sein, later in the series. His mother, Akane, was assimilated by Festum long ago and he now lives with his father Fumihiko who he gets along with very well. He enjoys getting to know Sōshi outside of battle again, and feels comforted when he's with Maya. Living with only his father, he does all the cooking and shopping and thus is an excellent chef. He also seems to be very bad at card games (he's too honest to be good at bluffing). ; : Voiced by: Kōhei Kiyasu (Japanese), Steve Cannon (English, TV series), Josh Grelle (English, ''Heaven and Earth'') : Sōshi is basically the only one of the children on Tatsumiya Island who knows the truth—the world has been under invasion by an alien race called the Festum for the past three decades and Japan was destroyed 28 years ago. He is the son of Kōzō Minashiro, the commander of the secret military fortress ALVIS, which is hidden in the bowels of the peaceful-seeming Tatsumiya Island. From a very young age, Sōshi was bred to become the next commander of ALVIS, so he has had a very isolated childhood carrying the heavy secret of the war and being told day in and day out that he must live only to protect the island. Though he was very close friends with Kazuki as children, due to an incident in which Kazuki ended up blinding Sōshi's left eye, they have drifted apart, but find themselves once again clinging tight to each other for support when the Festum attack Tatsumiya and it is up to the two of them to defend it. : Because of his incomplete vision, Sōshi cannot pilot a Fafner and fight the Festum hand-to-hand. Instead, he acts as the battle commander who connects directly into the minds of all the Fafner pilots through a super computer called the Siegfried System, and directs them in battle. All the pilots, especially Kazuki, hold to him for strength and leadership—a burden that he shoulders with grace and stoicism. : Because of his years of virtual isolation, he is rather awkward socially, (in fact, most people find him quite unapproachable or mistakenly think him hard-hearted). Kazuki alone seems to make efforts to understand and befriend him and the two become very close over the course of the series. Sōshi also has a little sister named Tsubaki who is the island's Core and powers all the computer systems on it. He later pilots Mark Nicht, another Salvator-Type Fafner which like Mark Sein is born from power of nothingness of Tatsumiya Island's Mir. ; : Voiced by: Marika Matsumoto (Japanese), Jennifer Sekiguchi (English, TV series and ''Heaven and Earth'') : Maya is a childhood friend of both Kazuki and Sōshi. She is a very lively girl who enjoys rock climbing. She is very frank about everything she says which gives her an air of reliability... but when it comes to romance she has a long way to go. : Her mother, Chizuru, is the only doctor on the whole of Tatsumiya Island. She also has an older sister named Yumiko who works as a teacher for the handicapped. Although her family works a lot in the medical field, Maya herself has never had much skill in the field... In fact, she even has trouble applying a bandage when needed. : Maya is an amazing mix of compassion, genuine sweetness, and steel. She has a surprising inner strength as we see in how calmly she thinks under pressure, her willingness to defy authority when she feels it is in the wrong, and her selfless courage in defending her loved ones no matter the situation. She is also extremely observant and sees much more deeply into other people's feelings than they are often willing to show. Her sweet nature translates into an impressive battle persona of icy-calmness. She is the best sniper of the Fafner pilots and eventually becomes the pilot of Mark Sieben (VII). After being captured by the Neo UN, she becomes the pilot of the Mark Raison. ; : : Canon enters the series in episode 11 along with Michio. The two are the ace Fafner pilots of the Neo United Nations' Human Army. She is an excellent and seasoned warrior despite her youth—a result of the war-torn life she has led. She is originally from Dublin, Ireland, which was completely annihilated four years prior to the series. All her family slaughtered, she is taken in by Hino Michio, a Human Army soldier, who teaches her the ways of the soldier. Hardened by a lifetime of fighting, she now simply exists and follows orders, unable to act, decide, desire or do anything of her own will. : When she arrives on Tatsumiya Island, she is at first offended and then confused by the peaceful world she encounters there. Over time, though, she begins to understand and accept peace and wants desperately to belong there. She becomes friends with Sakura and the other pilots and seems to develop some deeper interest in Kazuki. She is assigned to live with Yōko Hazama, whom she slowly opens up to. She represents the hope that mankind, despite having lived in a non-stop war for the past 30 years, can remember and return to a life of peace. In the events of Exodus, she gains the power to see the future, however she used it through an extent that it used up her life. Before she disapears, she used up her knowledge on her visions on changing the future on developing a new Fafner Model: the Eiherjar-Model and solving the assimilation phenomenon before she fades into the light. : Canon pilots the Babalon Fafner (which is not a Nothung model like those on Tatsumiya Island), later temporarily pilot the Mark Drei (III) and pilots the Mark Dreizehn (XIII). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Fafner in the Azure characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
