Rintaro Okabe / Voiced by Mamoru Miyano ( @miyanomamoru_PR )
Rintaro Okabe, the protagonist of this game.
He is a teenager with a "chūnibyō" complex who calls himself the mad scientist "Kyoma Hououin" and acts like a villain.
He founded a club in Akihabara called the “Future Gadget Laboratory” and is currently inventing gadgets with unknown purposes.
Mayuri Shiina / Voiced by Kana Hanazawa ( @hanazawa_staff )
Okabe’s childhood friend; she’s a laid-back, airheaded character who’s always smiling.
Her hobby is making cosplay costumes, and she often likes to dress others up in them.
Influenced by her childhood memories of gazing at the night sky while being carried on her grandmother’s back, she has a habit of reaching out toward the sky, which Okabe has dubbed the “Stardust Handshake.”
Itaru Hashida / CV: Tomokazu Seki ( @seki0908 )
A friend of Okabe’s since high school, commonly known as “Dar.”
He’s an active otaku who gets excited about anything and everything, from 2D to 3D, without any inhibitions.
He talks a lot, constantly throws around internet slang, and sometimes makes sexually harassing remarks.
He has great confidence in his programming and hacking skills, and Okabe calls him “My Favorite Right-Hand Man.”
Kurisu Makise / CV: Asami Imai ( @asamingosu )
She is a researcher at the Victor Condria University Brain Science Research Institute and a brilliant young woman who graduated from college at the age of 17 after skipping several grades.
Her paper was published in a renowned American academic journal, causing a stir in some circles.
Although she always looks sullen, she is essentially very curious and tends to stick her nose into anything that piques her interest.
Moeka Kiryu / CV: Saori Goto ( @goto_saori18 )
She works part-time at the editorial production company “Ark Rewrite.”
She’s extremely addicted to her cell phone and tries to communicate via text message even when the person she’s talking to is right in front of her.
She often wanders around Akihabara searching for the legendary retro PC known as the “IBN5100.”
Ruka Urushibara / Voiced by Yuu Kobayashi ( @holy_kobayashi )
A classmate of Mayuri, Okabe’s childhood friend.
Polite and demure, with the personality of a classic beauty, though their actual gender is male.
As the only son of the Yanagibayashi Shrine, they always wear a shrine maiden’s outfit at their father’s suggestion.
They also tend to take what others say at face value too easily.
Feiris Nyannyann / CV: Haruko Momoi ( @momoiktkr )
She is the most popular “little devil” maid at the Akihabara maid café “Make Queen + Nyan 2.”
Her speech is peppered with “nyan nyan” sounds, and she is one of the few people who can keep up with Okabe’s “chuunibyou” (teenage delusions) persona.
Her real name seems to be a secret…?
Suzuha Amanone / CV: Yukari Tamura ( @YukarinStaff )
A girl who came for a part-time job interview at “Brown Tube Workshop.”
She’s energetic and a bit rough around the edges—a girl who loves bicycles—and while she seems familiar, she doesn’t let anyone get too close.
She occasionally shows an unexpected side, using strangely difficult words or blurting out cryptic remarks.
Yugo Tennoji / CV: Masaki Terasoma ( @masaki_terasoma )
He is the owner of the building that houses the “Future Gadget Laboratory” and the proprietor of the “CRT Workshop” located on the first floor of the same building.

Natsumi Tennoji / Voiced by Ayano Yamamoto ( @ayanon_y )
An elementary school student and the only daughter of Yugo Tennoji.
She adores her father and often stops by his shop on her way home from school.
While she looks up to Mayuri and calls her “big sister,” she sometimes acts timid around Okabe and Daru.
Dr. Nakabachi / Voiced by Mitsuru Ogata ( @hitsujii326 )
An inventor conducting independent research on time machines.
He is a well-known figure who frequently appears on television and other media, and he holds a press conference in Akihabara to celebrate the successful invention of a time machine.
