The Blue Box is a new romance anime with certain elements typical of spokon and teenage comedy. Visually it is a particularly remarkable work and its first episodes have presented us its endearing cast of main characterswhich we will present in this article.
The following lines include small spoilers of the first 6 episodes of the Blue Box anime.
Taiki Inomata
The protagonist of The Blue Box
Taiki is the main character of this story. He is a young high school student at the Eimei private school, which stands out precisely for its commitment to sports. Taiki spends much of his time playing badminton with his teammates and He is secretly in love with Chinatsu Kanoa girl who is on the basketball team. Although Taiki is usually nice to everyone, He becomes extremely shy when around Chinatsu..
Since Chinatsu has several followers at school and is highly valued on the team, Taiki tends to think that he is inferior to her and is not worthy of your attention. Instead of throwing in the towel, the boy has decided to improve in everything possible and become a great badminton player so that Chinatsu would feel proud of him.
Chinatsu Kano
A talented basketball player
She is the female protagonist of The Blue Box and Taiki’s love interest. She is very loved at school and loves basketball deeplyto the point of dedicating part of his free time to perfecting his shooting skills and training intensely until nightfall. In a flashback in the first episode we discover that his team suffered a bitter defeat in a competition, which caused Chinatsu to cry tears of frustration.
Chinatsu takes great care of others, but her main priority is to become a great basketball player. Her mother and Taiki’s mother were teammates on Eimei’s team, which influenced Chinatsu’s decision to temporarily live in Taiki’s house instead of traveling abroad with his family.
Hina Chono
Hina is the comic relief of the series alongside Taiki
Another Eimei student and one of our protagonist’s best friends. Hina is a little star on the school’s rhythmic gymnastics team and thanks to her talent she has earned the admiration of her classmates, which has caused her to have high expectations for herself. She is extroverted, she is usually very disciplined with herself and Taiki likes to play jokes when you are with him.
Hina is very popular with the kids at schoolbut prefers to spend his time joking with Taiki. At first, Hina did not know how to take our protagonist trying to be closer with Chinatsu, and the situation began to affect her until she lost concentration and even caused her to cry, leaving open the possibility that she had certain romantic feelings towards Taiki.
Kengo Haryu
One of the best badminton players in Eimei
Also known as ‘Harry’. He is member of the Eimei school badminton club and an especially skilled player. Taiki was initially jealous of him due to his closeness and interactions with Chinatsu, but Kengo has made it clear that he is not interested in her.
Despite Taiki saw Kengo as a rivalthey have come to work as a team and Kengo has shown interest in Taiki improving his skills on the field. Due to a mistake, he also knows that our protagonist is secretly in love with Chinatsu.
Kyo Kasahara
Kyo is usually accompanied by Taiki and Hina. He also spends his time playing badminton with other Eimei students and is Taiki’s best confidant. He is one of the few people who knows that Taiki is in love with Chinatsu and usually acts as an advisor to our protagonist. Also He usually plays the occasional joke next to Hina.
Kyo Kasahara’s personality is very different from Taiki’s, as he is very intuitive and introverted. Is one of the most intelligent characters in the series and he knows more than he usually expresses with his words. He has preferred to take an observer role and watch how Taiki’s plot with Chinatsu develops.
