She is a member of a "trading" club so called Otogi High School Bank.

Characters

---

Ryōko Ōkami
Voiced by: Shizuka Itou
The protagonist who is fierce, like a wolf, and flat-chested, fights thugs using special Neko Neko Knuckles developed by Majolica. She tends to put up a strong and fierce front to disguise her inside nature, where she is a bit more kind and frightened of certain things. Although generally hostile about Ryōshi's wimpiness, she soon accepts him as someone who can watch her back in fights. It should be noted that Ōkami-san's character fits into the tsundere category for anime idioms. She is a close friend of Ringo Akai and is based on the wolf from the fairytale Little Red Riding Hood and others, though on several occasions she is shown to be very different from her base character; she mostly tries to act and be like the wolf, "wearing a wolf's clothing". She'd originally been an honest and innocent girl, but in Junior High her former boyfriend Shirō attempted to rape her, and when she told her friends, they refuse to believe her and accuses Ryōko of fabricating the story in anger after being dumped. After this, she transferred schools and struggled to be "strong" enough that she would need no one and not risk being betrayed again.

Ryōshi Morino
Voiced by: Miyu Irino
A shy boy who cowers when confronted by other people and so keeps his distance. He has a crush on Ryōko and following a failed confession to her, he is somehow enrolled into Otogi Bank, where the others hope to use his low noticeability to avoid being detected. However, Ryōshi is much braver when hidden in darkness, and fights from afar using a wrist-mounted slingshot armed with pachinko balls with extreme precision, as shown when he knocks a baseball flying in midair about to hit Otsuu. He is also known to perform well in fist fights if Ryōko is in danger. He is based on the hunter in the fairytale Little Red Riding Hood who captures the wolf or Ōkami-san.

Ringo Akai
Voiced by: Kanae Itō[2]
A petite red-haired girl who has been longtime friends with Ryōko. She is the one who recruits Ryōshi into Otogi Bank. She is a close friend of Ryōko Ōkami, and is always trying to involve herself with her best friend's love life. Like Ryōko, she tends to smile to hide her true feelings, and admires Ryōko for trying to become stronger. She is based on the Little Red Riding Hood from the book of the same name, though some aspects of her scheming, manipulative personality closer resemble the poisoned apple ("Ringo" means apple) of Snow White, a fact which is occasionally referenced by the narrator and other characters. She is also the half sister of "Snow White" Shirayuki Himeno and feels responsible for her past.

Liszt Kiriki
Voiced by: Hirofumi Nojima[2]
The president of the Otogi Bank. His skill is cross-dressing, which he uses to gain information normal men can't obtain. He is almost never seen working. He is most likely a parody of the Aesop's fable The Ant and the Grasshopper as during the opening and ending scenes he is shown playing a violin whilst his usual pairing, Alice, is working on her computer, and in the closing sequence he is further shown buried under snow while Alice is in an underground "nest".

Alice Kiriki
Voiced by: Yui Horie[2]
Liszt's cousin and secretary in the club. As said above she most likely fits the ant description in Aesop's fable The Ant and the Grasshopper as she is shown working and usually in a serious manner. Also, her hair's front resembles the antennae of an ant, and the first two syllables of her name, "Ari", is the Japanese word for "ant".

Otsuu Tsurugaya
Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi[2]
The club's maid who has an obsession for returning favors. When she was young, she was saved from a car accident by a boy who died before she could thank him, resulting in her having a fear of not being able to return a favour. She is based on the crane from the Japanese tale Tsuru no Ongaeshi.

Tarō Urashima
Voiced by: Shintaro Asanuma[2]
A first year transfer student who is a year older than everyone else. He shows no interest in men but goes completely amorous towards girls. Although he is very flirtatious, he seems to have special feelings of love for Otohime. He is based on Urashima Tarō from the Japanese tale Urashima Tarō. It is heavily implied that he is in an intimate relationship with Otohime, and occasionally enters a "gentleman mode" after Otohime drags him off and "extracts various things" from him.

Otohime Ryūgū
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki[2]
A girl with an obsessive crush on Tarō, who cares for her greatly but on some occasions, is scared of her. It was thanks to Tarō's motivation that she changed from a chubby bullied elementary student to a thin beauty. She constantly grabs Urashima and drags him into the closet, and the narrator remarks "I'll let your imagination figure out what they're doing", giving hints that they have some kind of sexual relationship. Although Tarō often runs from her advances, he does have special feelings for her, and can even be considered her boyfriend. She is based on Princess Otohime from the Japanese tale Urashima Tarō. The reason she is called turtle is because Otohime from the legend was a turtle on land when she met Tarō.

Majolica le Fay
Voiced by: Kimiko Koyama[2]
Called Majo for short, she is a self-proclaimed mad scientist who builds various devices such as Ryōko's Neko Neko Knuckles. She is based on the sorceress Morgan le Fay. She also takes the role of a "fairy godmother" at times.

Momoko Kibitsu
Voiced by: Yūko Kaida
Nicknamed Momo-chan-senpai, she is disciplinary committee member of Otogi High School. She is a bisexual and will sometimes make suggestive passes at Ryōko, whilst using her 'dumplings' to get assistance from naive boys. She is based on the titular character from the Japanese tale Momotarō, and is often accompanied by a trio of students whose names and appearances are based on the Monkey, Dog and Pheasant that accompany Momotaro on his journeys.

Mimi Usami
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
She is based on the hare from the Aesop's fable The Tortoise and the Hare. She is Taro's and Otohime's childhood friend, and since very little she has held hostility towards Otohime, calling her with the mocking nickname of "turtle".

Ami Jizou
Voiced by: Mikako Takahashi
She is based on the Jizou from the Japanese tale Kasa Jizou.

Lamp Aragami
Voiced by: Atsushi Ono
The principal of Otogi High School, who often requests certain 'services' from the bank in exchange for a lot of the club's more expensive items. He is based on the Genie of the Lamp from Aladdin.

Shirō Hitsujikai
Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe
He is the student council president of Onigashima High School, a school of delinquents intended to conflict with Otogi High School. During middle school, he hurt Ryōko in some way, but none believed her, causing her to become fearful of him and transfer schools. Exactly what he did to Ryōko is not specified; at one point he implies to Ryōshi that he raped her, but before leaving smiles and says that he'd lied to spare Ryōshi the pain of knowing the truth. He is based on The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Nekomiya Saburou
A Third-year at Otogi described by the narrator as a "Pretty Boy." Knowledgeable about Ryoushi and the Otogi Bank, he takes it upon himself to "Train" Ryoushi, though his motivation is unclear. His hair is shaped into cat ears, and his name, attitude and mannerisms are cattlike (i.e. meowing after every sentence). He is apparently a skilled fighter who easily overcomes Ryoushi. He is based on Puss in Boots.

Narrator
Voiced by: Satomi Arai
The narrator who tells the tale and often has sarcastic and offensive remarks, usually pertaining to flat chests, at which main characters often break the fourth wall to glare at her for.
