The main character. He lost his mother when he was a baby and his father when he was in junior high school, and was taken in by his uncle and his wife. However, he has a cheerful personality that belies her circumstances. His father taught him to speak in standard Japanese since he was a child. His uncle and his wife continued that educational policy and raised him accordingly. He does not have his village's dialect whatsoever. There is no one in the village of his age, and he is the only one who can be called a young man. Next year, he is going to work at a kamaboko factory in a neighboring town. On his days off, he usually goes to the barbershop and reads manga. He has known the old lady at the barbershop for a long time, but after hearing a rumor from old man Meriken, he becomes strangely conscious of her. official site]

She an older woman who runs the only barbershop in in the village, She's known as "Barber Misaki". She remains youthful and her flamboyant appearance and personality makes her stand out from the crowd in the village. Since, junior high school, she had been a beautiful girl with big breasts, making her the target for constant rumors regarding her having romantic relationships with many men, she would be regularly shunned by the women of the village. After graduating from high school, she moved to Tokyo to become an actress, but her dream did not come true and about 10 years later she returned to the village and started a barbershop. Perhaps because she had been through the rough and tumble of the city, she has lost all of her moxie, and now has a calm and easygoing personality. No one in the village knows what kind of rough times he went through. However, perhaps because of her youth, he is still a bit out of place in the village.

A mysterious old man who is always fishing in the harbor. He calls himself the village elder. He is called “Meriken-aji” (American old man) by everyone. No one knows the exact reason why he is called so, but a popular theory explaining his name is because he is fond of saying, "Blond girls are American girls".
