Originally created in 2006 by nitro+, to be the mascot character of their music festival, Nitro Super Sonic. However, she gained such popularity that she is now considered to be the face of the company as a whole rather than for just the festival. An energetic, clumsy, determined busybody; Sonico is an idol, member of a band with her friends, gravure model and college student (majoring in marine biology) with a burning passion for music. Does main guitar and vocals.
- Big Beautiful Woman: She can be this Depending on the Artist, as her waist and breast size tend to fluctuate. Sometimes she's drawn more svelte, other times she has wider hips and love handles. She's consistently busty, but her breasts go anywhere from "realistically large" to "hentai sized".
- Big Eater: Loves junk food and sweets, especially macarons.
- Butt-Monkey: A large portion of the humor is centered on her embarrassments stemming from her social awkwardness, from getting teased by other characters, and from being put in humiliating situations.
- Catchphrase: I'll do my best! and Toryaa!
- Cosplay Otaku Girl: She isn't really an otaku, but she has cosplayed a lot thanks to her gravure model job. Some of the costumes include; Black★Rock Shooter, Kirino Kousaka, Kurisu Makise, Madoka Kaname, Hatsune Miku, and, uh, Iskandar. For video game-related cosplay, scroll down to Gamer Chick.
- Cover Version: Several; she has an album with nothing but Vocaloid covers, SONICONICOROCK Tribute To VOCALOID. She has also covered classics, such as "I Fought The Law" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Additionally, a mini-album called Super Sonico Covers has her covering a song from YuruYuri and Rizelmine.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: Some official artworks and figures even show her in various Fanservice situations resulting from her clumsiness. Her writing is also always filled with typos, to the point official material deliberately mimic them on occasion (case in point, the first episode of her anime is titled "I'll do my bets!").
- The Cutie: Most people around her find her adorable for her innocence, niceness and awkwardness, and her photoshoots tend to focus on her cuteness as much if not more so than her sex appeal.

- Fangirl: Of Lumie, a legendary idol. Also of her favorite artists in general.
- Feminine Women Can Cook: She's pretty girly, and her official profile gives cooking as her talent (along with playing guitar). There's even an official manga focused on her cooking various meals.
- Fighting Clown: Not normally, but whenever she makes a special appearance in a game that gives her a fighting role, she tends to be turned into this to make up for her lack of fighting skills and combat experience. Her "attacks" are usually whimsical in nature, often relying on her clumsiness and dumb luck, or having her cats do the fighting for her.
- Gamer Chick: Enjoys playing videogames in her free time. One of her possible costumes in Communication With Sonico is as the Master Chief. Some other video game-related cosplays she has sported are; Riela Marcellis, Merurulince Rede Arls, Totooria Helmold, Noel Vermillion, Prinny, and a Gears of War costume.

- Hidden Depths: Many consider her a blank state like most mascot characters, but her games and anime demonstrated that she has a personality, dreams and aspirations. Also, most people would expect her favorite music genre to be light, bubbly pop. It's punk rock.

- Tareme Eyes: She has these to go with her gentle and shy personality.

A young woman who has been working at the live house Supernova for a while, and also the leader of First Astronomical Velocity.

Fuuri Watanuki
Voiced by: Mami Ozaki (Japanese), Monica Rial (English), Alicia Velez (Latin American Spanish)
Hometown: Takamatsu, Kagawa
Birthday: June 13 (Gemini)
Blood Type: Secret
Hobbies: Eating
Special skills: Hitting things
Trademark Favorite Food: Meat buns
A girl of mysterious origins with an insatiable appetite in charge of playing the drums. Fuuri is kind to a fault, a bit of a crybaby, and has the tendency to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong. Friendly, easygoing and the mood setter of the band, Fuuri was recruited into F.A.V by Suzu, after she saved her from the local yakuza with one of her trademark dropkicks. While she may seem like a simple girl, she hides many secrets under her calm exterior.
- All Drummers Are Animals: Literally.
- Animal Motifs: Tanuki. Since she actually is one.
- Arranged Marriage: Since she was little, to a tanuki called Tashiro. She ended things after she came to the human world in search for her childhood crush, however.
- Big Eater: Ridiculously so, she can finish several plates of food in a matter of seconds.
- Catchphrase: Ponpoko and Pon, which are variations of the onomatopoeia for hitting something.
- Childhood Friends: With Kanta.
- Dark and Troubled Past: A tanuki who came to the human world to find her childhood friend and first love, Kanta. She joined F.A.V with the plan that, if she became famous, he would hear about her and look for her. She finds out he's been dead for a while after a year of searching and a total of ten years of wanting to see him.
- Does Not LikeKonnyaku: It's actually a tanuki thing. Tanuki-jiru, a miso soup dish, uses konnyaku as a replacement for tanuki meat. She says eating konnyaku is like eating a comrade.
- Genius Ditz: Never got any sort of training on percussion instruments before joining the band. She's always been good at hitting things, apparently.
- Her Heart Will Go On: Her fate in the true ending of Axanael. She sees Kanta again, but he didn't revive. Instead of going back to her home village, she decided to stay in the world of humans with her friends, and to play the drums for his sake, and for the sake of their fans, in hopes of someday touching people's hearts.
- Master of Disguise: With her shapeshifting powers, she can copy anyone's appearance. As long as she has seen them, she can do it.
- Meaningful Name: Fuuri is a type of tanuki. Her surname is pretty self-explanatory.
- Secret-Keeper: Her past, her true appearance, and her motivations for wanting to become famous.
- Shapeshifting: Humans, animals, objects, it doesn't look like there's much limit for a tanuki's shapeshifting powers.
- Tanuki: Her true form is that of a cute, small tanuki. Comes with most of the fantasy tropes included.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Meat buns.
- Transformation Trinket: A leaf with a polka dot design. It can also be used for healing wounds, apparently.
- Virtual YouTuber: Arguably the prototype for all vtubers, making her YouTube debut in February of 2010, years before the recognized pioneers of the genre.
Supporting Characters
Manager Kitamura
Voiced by: Ryota Takeuchi (Japanese), David Wald (English), Juan Carlos Tinoco (Latin American Spanish)
Sonico's talent manager.- Berserk Button: Attempting to make use of Sonico in a sexual manner (overly-risque bathing suit, being fondled by a tentacle kaijin).
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: In episode 3, Kitamura, while drunk, arranges for Sonico to make a guest appearance in a tv show. He ends up accidentally upstaging the heroes of the show, and the director throws in his unscripted rescue. He's later offered a role in the show, which he understandably turns down.
- Overshadowed by Awesome: Kitamura accidentally upstages the heroes of the tv show Sonico was guest-starring in during episode 3. They hilariously keep his action in the show, crediting him as a guest hero.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Despite the scary mask he wears all the time, he does try to look out for Sonico, and attempts to prevent unscrupulous people from taking advantage of her.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: In episode 3, when he "saves" Sonico from a squid monster instead of letting the heroes of the show do it. The director of the show liked it enough and decided to
Throw It In! as a result. - Unusually Uninteresting Sight: His Hannya mask and "flaming" hair. Gets averted in episode 11, when he's watching over Sonico at the shopping district. Several tourists spot him, surround him, and take lots of pictures due to his unusual mask and hair.
