K O B A T O   H A N A T O

A very kind and cheerful girl who is on a mission to fill a small bottle with wounds from the hearts of suffering people. She must do it as soon as possible to fulfill her wish and go to the place she wants to go. Kobato is a mystery, we don't know anything about her past, where she lived or who her family is, maybe that's why she's so innocent and naïve. She helps out at the Yomogi Nursery School in order to search for those suffering people. There, she's always ready to help in anything that shows up.
 

I O R Y O G I

The stuffed animal that helps Kobato in her mission. He may look cute and un-harmful when he's in public, but he can also be really bad-tempered every time Kobato does something stupid. He's always pushing her down back to earth and serving her as a guide since Kobato is very light-headed and is frequently making detours. His true name and shape are different from those we know of.
 

S A Y A K A   O K I U R A
She's a teacher at the Yomogi Nursery School. Kobato accidentally found her while she was doing laundry with the school's kids. Kobato then decided to help her in the school's duties thinking that she might heal Sayaka since she mentioned she was running out of help. However, only helping her at the school might not be enough to heal her heart. She's a very generous woman who tends to trust someone very easily. She already had many problems in the past because of that.

Helps out Sayaka at the Yomogi Nursery School. He knows Sayaka since he was a kid and apparently has no family. He has several different jobs to help with the school's costs.

His first contact with Kobato was at a park where he punched an old man who was thinking Kobato was a prostitute. Later on, they met again at the school after Kobato decided to help Sayaka out. However, he is not going to accept her will to help so easily because he's tired of seeing people taking advantage of Sayaka's kindness. He'll keep an eye on Kobato, who doesn't know that Fujimoto might also be someone with a wounded heart. He and Kobato are also apartment neighbors.

The landlady of the apartment complex where Kobato lives. She's married and has two twin daughters. She's a very kind woman who is always helping Kobato in whatever she needs. Kobato got an used futon from her because she didn't have any since she moved with nothing but a bag. She studied in the same class as Sayaka during High School.
