Ichigo Mashimaro – A slice-of-life comedy about a group of elementary school girls and their everyday adventures, focusing on innocence and fun.
Chika Ito, the responsible and level-headed middle schooler, has short brown hair and bright, thoughtful brown eyes that reflect her calm and mature personality. Chika serves as the "big sister" figure in the group of friends, and while she often gets caught up in their antics, she usually tries to maintain order and prevent things from getting too chaotic. Her grounded nature contrasts with the silliness of the other characters, making her the straight man in the series' humor. Despite her mature demeanor, Chika also enjoys having fun with her friends and shares a close bond with her older sister, Nobue.
Miu Matsuoka, the energetic and mischievous troublemaker, has short brown hair and mischievous brown eyes that match her playful and chaotic personality. Miu is the wild card of the group, always coming up with strange ideas and causing trouble for her friends. Her boundless energy and love for pranks often lead to comedic situations, and though she can be annoying at times, Miu's antics are a core part of the show's humor. Despite her impulsive and bratty behavior, Miu genuinely cares for her friends, even if her way of showing it is unconventional.
Matsuri Sakuragi, the shy and sweet girl with a timid personality, has long, light brown hair and gentle brown eyes that reflect her innocence and softness. Matsuri is one of the quieter members of the group, often nervous or unsure of herself, but she is kind-hearted and always wants to do her best for her friends. Her gentle nature makes her an easy target for Miu's teasing, though Matsuri never holds it against her. Matsuri has a strong bond with the others, especially Chika and Ana, and her sensitivity adds warmth to the group dynamic.
Ana Coppola, the half-Japanese, half-English girl, has long blonde hair and blue eyes that reflect her effort to fit in despite her foreign roots. Ana, although born in England, is fluent in Japanese and tries to hide her foreign background, despite the group frequently teasing her about it. Her earnestness and sometimes overly serious attitude lead to amusing situations, especially when she gets flustered. Ana's attempts to be seen as a normal Japanese girl are often comically undercut by her natural English charm and mannerisms, but her friendship with the other girls is deep and genuine.
Nobue Ito, Chika's laid-back older sister, has long brown hair and relaxed brown eyes that match her easygoing and slightly mischievous personality. Despite being the oldest in the group, Nobue frequently gets involved in the girls' antics, often encouraging their behavior rather than acting as a responsible adult. She has a fondness for teasing the younger girls, particularly Matsuri and Ana, whom she finds adorable. Nobue enjoys spending time with the group, even though she has her own interests, like smoking and being somewhat lazy. Her relationship with the younger characters balances between big-sister affection and playfully teasing them.
