[edit] Characters

Kogarashi (コガラシ?)

Voiced By: Rikiya Koyama

The "maid guy" of the title, a towering, superpowered man in a maid uniform. Kogarashi is boldly confident in his numerous Maid Guy abilities, from cooking & cleaning to USB connectivity and X-ray vision, even claiming to have 37 senses. He is extremely loyal to Naeka, but unafraid to criticize her faults. Ironically, Kogarashi himself lacks any regard for personal space or decency. He is as much a source of problems for the Fujiwara home as he is the solution.

Fujiwara Naeka (富士原なえか?)

Voiced By: Yuka Iguchi

A student of Shuuhou Seiha Private School, ranked Fukushou (second-in-command) of the girl's kendo club and in line for a large inheritance. Naeka can be fiercely independent, refusing the luxury of wealth or hired help even when it's needed. Both friends and enemies make fun of her busty figure. She lacks basic domestic skills and is very bad in math. Naeka is very positive-minded.
Fubuki (フブキ?)

Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi

A beautiful maid, also assigned to the Fujiwara household. She is tasked with both the Fujiwara's daily care, and keeping Kogarashi under control. She has great skill as a maid and guardian, demonstrating ninja-like abilities. Fubuki sometimes shares the same worries that Naeka does concerning her weight, appearance and the chaos Kogarashi creates for both of them.
Fujiwara Kousuke (富士原幸助?)

Voiced by: Daisuke Sakaguchi

Naeka's overweight little brother, a fan of maids and eroge. He is good-natured, and has a normal sibling rivalry with Naeka. Kousuke seems to get along best with his grandfather, and is very thankful for being bestowed with Fubuki. His otaku tendencies sometimes gets him into trouble with the others. It was also revealed that if he loses some weight he is very handsome.
Fujiwara Zenjuro (富士原全重郎?)

Voiced By: Mugihito

Naeka and Kousuke's wealthy & doting grandfather. Concerned that both his family line is in danger, and his surviving grandchildren might disgrace them, Zenjuro hires the two maids to ensure their safety, as well as the Fujiwara fortune. He commissioned an expensive lounge just to watch his granddaughter's kendo match and closed school for a day, showing the kind of vast influence their family has.
Izumi Eiko (和泉英子?)

Voiced by: Kato Emiri

Naeka's friend & fellow teammate in the kendo club. They are usually seen eating lunch together or at practice with Miwa. Eiko is usually the first to yell at her busty classmate for her shallow or selfish comments.
Hirano Miwa (平野美和?)

Voiced by: Kobayashi Yu

A friend and fellow classmate to Naeka. A short-haired and boyish member of the kendo club, Miwa is a decently performing student and joins Eiko in reprimanding Naeka.
Tabaruzaka Saki (田原坂沙希?)

Voiced by: Kaida Yuko

Saki is another student of Shuuhou Seiha Private School, who is in lust with Naeka. She is so obsessed, she jealously attacks anyone else who attempts to see Naeka in the nude before she does. Saki's efforts are sometimes thwarted by Kogarashi, though he refuses to harm her directly. So far, no character has referred to Saki by name in the anime.
Elizabeth K. Strawberryfield (エリザベス・K・ストロベリーフィールド?)

Voiced by: Fujita Saki

Introducing herself as "Liz", she is a transfer student to Shuuhou Seiha Private School. A 10-year old child prodigy of English descent, Liz is extremely wealthy herself, a remarkable kendo student and immediately treats Naeka as her rival. Liz takes every opportunity and resource available to humiliate Naeka, displaying an mildly unsettling foot fetish.
Shizuku & Tsurara (シズク & ツララ?)

Voiced by: Kanda Akemi (Shizuku), and Oka Hiroe (Tsurara)

Twin ninja maids who serve Liz, much like the Maid Guy & Fubuki. Although both are 21 years of age, Shizuku is the more youthful of the two. She has a tendency to speak out of turn to others, getting her into trouble often. Tsurara is the mature twin, upholding very strict codes of secrecy, infiltration and discipline. However, her dour attitude and voice makes her seem much older, ruining her disguises.
