Puchi Pichi Biography & Facts

The following is a list of characters from the manga and anime series Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch. They are grouped according to their roles in the series. Wherever possible, the spelling of the names are taken from the English translation of the Pichi Pichi Pitch manga. Otherwise, spellings are based on those used on official merchandise. Main characters Lucia Nanami (七海 るちあ, Nanami Ruchia) Voiced by: Asumi Nakada Lucia is the mermaid princess of the North Pacific Ocean and keeper of the pink pearl. She goes up to land to search for her pearl which she used to save a boy named Kaito seven years ago. Later in the series, Lucia and Kaito become lovers. She is unaware of the danger in the marine world and of her real mission until she is told of them by her "big sister", Nikora. She is characterized by her simplicity and naïveté, but with having a strong will, typical traits of shōjo manga heroines. In the Pure season, Seira, is about to be born as well, waiting to meet Lucia. Lucia now has the job of retrieving all the pieces of her heart contained in Michel's feathers. Overall, no matter what the situation, she never gives up hope. Of all the mermaids in the series, Lucia's mermaid form and human form contrast the most (Lucia has short dark blonde hair and brown eyes in the surface while having long lighter blonde hair and light blue eyes while at sea). Her idol form is Pink Pearl Voice. Some western fans spell her name with an "h" due to a misunderstanding of the spelling systems of different languages. The Italian name, Lucia, follows Italian spelling rules, which say that "c" is pronounced as a post-alveolar affricate (the same sound that is written as "ch" in English) when it appears before a front vowel (in this case, "i"). That pronunciation is correctly represented in Japanese kana as るちあ. When attempting to transliterate the kana back into Latin characters, some people, unaware of the Italian spelling of the name, tried using the English "ch" to represent that consonant, resulting in the incorrect spelling "Luchia". Hanon Hosho (宝生 波音, Hōshō Hanon) Voiced by: Hitomi Terakado Hanon is the Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic Ocean and keeper of the aquamarine (水色 mizu-iro "water-color") pearl. She is Lucia's best friend, but fights with her like any teenage girl. Unlike Lucia, Hanon goes up to land to escape water creatures. She is perky and feminine and a bit more worldly than Lucia, although she tends to be lazy in cleaning. This worldliness is evidenced by many of her actions—especially by her romantic pursuit of her music teacher, Tarō Mitsuki. In the Pure season, she develops an interest in a boy, Nagisa. Her idol form is Aqua Pearl Voice, although the first time that it is named in the manga, she is erroneously called Blue Pearl Voice. Rina Toin (洞院 リナ, Tōin Rina) Voiced by: Mayumi Asano Rina is the Mermaid Princess of the North Atlantic Ocean and keeper of the green pearl. During school, she accidentally wears the boys' uniform instead of the girls. Initially she is depicted as beautiful but stern and bent on revenge for the capture of her best friend, Noel. Later, however, she evolves into a more mature character, and acts as a sister figure to Lucia and Hanon. She seems to love plasma TVs and shows this gag in many anime episodes. She eventually becomes close to a boxer, Masahiro. Her idol form is Green Pearl Voice. Some fans in the West still spell her name as Lina, because the Japanese language does not distinguish the sounds "r" and "l", treating them as the same. This means that "ri" and "li" are both represented as リ, and it can be difficult to figure out what the intended romanization is until it is established by official sources. Supporting characters Kaito Domoto (堂本 海斗, Dōmoto Kaito) Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio Kaito, the adoptive son of a pair of musicians, is an avid surfer, as well as Lucia's boyfriend. Though he is popular with girls, he is secretly in love with a beautiful mermaid who saved him from a shipwreck seven years ago (caused by Sara when her pearl went out of control), and has yet to realize that this mermaid is Lucia. Kaito kept Lucia's pearl in a necklace until he gave it back to her. Later in the story, it is discovered that beneath Kaito's human exterior lie some distinctively inhuman qualities and that he is the prince of an ancient water race called Panthalassa and is the twin brother of Gaito. Aqua Regina separated Gaito and Kaito to prevent world chaos. Kaito has a hard time when Lucia comes in her human form, because of having feelings for both her human form and her mermaid form. Kaito eventually realizes that the two are one, giving Kaito the ability to love Lucia no matter what form she is in. Dōmoto is derived from KinKi Kids Pink Hanamori likes. Hippo (ヒッポ, Hippo) Voiced by: Miyako Ito Lucia's guardian who serves as her guide. He is shown as Lucia's pet penguin. Hippo accompanies Lucia in her search for her pink pearl, and is among those who voice disapproval of her relationship with Kaito. He is also polite, always putting -さん, -san after every name, even when angry. Later on, he is able to transform into a very cute human boy as well as a legendary creature called a Hippocampus. In his human form, Hippo falls in love with a Dark Lover, Yuri. In anime shows, Lucia and the other five mermaid princess try to get them to meet, even for just a short time. Hippo transforms into a Hippocampus using a key he lost and retrieved while trying to save Tarō from Sara. His real form as "Hippocampus" resembles a unicorn. Nikora Nanami (七海 にこら, Nanami Nikora) Voiced by: Eri Saito Nikora is the virtual manager of the "petit-hotel" Pearl Piari (プチ ホテル パール ピアリ, puchi-hoteru pāru piari) on land, where Lucia, Hanon, and Rina work (in the manga, she is the owner of a bath house called Pearl Waters). A purple mermaid, she poses as Lucia's big sister in order to inform her of her mission. She has a crush on Maki, the owner of a bar. Madame Taki (タキさん, Taki-san) Voiced by: Kumi Yamakado Madame Taki is the owner of the Pearl Piari, as well as the pearl oyster fairy. A fairly major character in the anime who is a fortune teller and friend to the mermaid princesses. Everyone thinks her predictions are wrong, never saying yes when she asks if they want one. Sometimes though, they are right, leaving them astounded. In episode 13, her true form is shown. Tarō Mitsuki (海月 太郎, Mitsuki Tarō) Voiced by: Daisuke Kirii Tarō is Lucia's music teacher and Hanon's boyfriend (she refers to him as 太郎ちゃん, Tarō-chan). He had met a mermaid in the past (Sara), and made a piano piece for her, not knowing what happened to her after their last meeting. In the anime, he was acquainted with Kaito's dad seeking advice on music. Tarō wishes to make amends with Sara. He later moves to Germany after giving Hanon a sheet music as a gift for helping him.
