Main Characters
Jinpei Jiba
Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura
- Alliterative Name: Jinpei Jiba.
- Anime Hair: He has large tufts of hair shaped like cat ears, reminiscent of Jibanyan.
- Animal Motif: "Can a cat be a hero?" Duh. Even without taking the Title Drop and the fact that he's clearly based off Jibanyan into account, his hair, his penchant for naps and the ears and tails in his hero suit will surely clue you in. If that wasn't enough, he literally was a cat in a past life
- Bratty Half-Pint: While well-meaning and good-hearted, he is also cheeky, mischievous, brash and impulsive.
- Fiery Redhead: Downplayed. He has red hair and, while his temper does not run near as hot as Mera's, he does have a bit of attitude.
- Idiot Hair: He has a cowlick sticking up at the top of his head, which beffits his goofball nature.
- Keet: Chipper, hyperactive, and loud.
