[edit] Plot

The series features Mondo Ooya and his (girl)friend Rockna Hiiragi, whose father invented a way to travel to Mon World (Roku Mon Sekai, the Six Gate World), where all sorts of magical creatures live. Together, they try to find six monster items which, when combined, could merge the Six Gate World with planet Earth for the better of both worlds. Rockna and Mondo form the Mon Colle Knights, and when chanting a phrase they can merge into monsters and control them into battle as well as aid with spells. Almost every episode, they battle Prince Eccentro (Count Collection in the Japanese version) and his two lackeys who are after the same thing as the Mon Colle Knights, except that they intend to use the items to dominate both worlds.

[edit] Main characters

[edit] Mon Colle Knights

Mondo Ooya (大矢 門斗 Ōya Mondo?)

An adventurous young boy who seeks to gather the Mon items to bring together his world and Mon world for peace and friendship. Even though he has an outgoing and determined nature, Mondo has a little problem: he always flirts with pretty girls (Beginner, Kahimi and Lailai are the most notable). Note that the first Kanji in Mondo's given name; "Mon (門 Mon?)," is the same that is used in the Mon Colle Knights title, Roku Mon Tengai Mon Colle Knight (六門天外モンコレナイト Roku Mon Tengai Mon Kore Naito?).

Rockna Hiragi (柊 六奈 Hiiragi Rokuna?)

Mondo's genius friend, whose intentions match Mondo's. She has a special telepathic ability to communicate with monsters. Now her boyfriend Mondo likes drooling over her. Note that the first Kanji in Rokuna's given name; "Roku (六 Roku?)," is the same that is used in the Mon Colle Knights title, Roku Mon Tengai Mon Kore Naito (六門天外モンコレナイト ''Roku Mon Tengai Mon Kore Naito?).

Professor Ichiroubei Hiragi (柊 一郎兵衛 Hiiragi Ichirōbei?)

Rockna's father and a rather eccentric sort of mad scientist. He discovered Mon world and wants the human world to know about it so he can win lots of awards.

Jane (ジャーネ Jāne?) / Lovestar

A Zeechi (Lovestar) that Rockna adopted.

Punchpunch (パンチパンチ Panchipanchi?)

A tiny monkey monster who punches.

[edit] Collection team

Count Ludwig Presto Von Meinstein Collection / Prince Ludwig Von Monsterstein Eccentro

The principal villain, a young effeminate aristocrat from Europe who wants to take over Mon World. He was trained by Tanaka when his father wanted him to be a bad guy. Not much a threat due to his eccentric behavior and hysterical persona at times.

Batch (バッチ Batchi?)

Eccentro's tomboyish lackey. She, unfortunately, gets punished by Tanaka as well.

Guko (グーコ Gūko?) / Gluko

  • Voiced by: Yuka Imai (Japanese), Dina Sherman (English)
Eccentro's busty, yet air-headed lackey. She tends to be spared by Tanaka when it's time for punishment and has a creepy amount of luck. She never seems to get hurt while the rest of her team usually does.

Chuzaemon Takenaka (竹中 忠左衛門 Takenaka Chūzaemon?) / Tanaka

A short old man who serves as Eccentro's mentor under the order of Eccentro's father. He usually punishes Eccentro for his screw ups (and/or lack of manly attitude) with back-breaking exercises related to the episode's content. He tends to pop up anywhere.

Repuri (レプリちゃん Repuri-chan?) / Impy

A cheerful young Forest Imp (Leprechaun) who is Gluko's pet.

[edit] Supporting cast

Namiko Gokumare (極稀 並子 Gokumare Namiko?) / Naomi Loon

Mondo and Rockna's teacher, a rather nice lady who has a short temper and terrible luck with love. There is a monster card featuring her.

Lailai (ライライ Rairai?)

A young girl which the Mon Colle Knigths often encounter at random, while she travels the world carrying impossible amounts of little monsters in her coat. Lovestar was given to Rokuna by her.

Kahimi (カヒミ Kahimi?)

An elf monster with very long hair, whose beauty incites Rockna's jealousy whenever Mondo compliments Kahimi (though Rockna holds nothing against Kahimi herself). She becomes a good friend and ally of the Mon Colle Knights, especially with her ability to make plants grow and control over the winds of Mon World.

Beginner (ベギナ Begina?)

A cute but accident-prone girl with a large appetite who is learning to become a summoner. While powerful, her aim is terrible, so she tends to hurt her allies by accident. She is a friend of Mondo and Rockna. Her grandfather, Expert, runs the summoning school she attends.

Luke (ルーク Rūku?)

A friend of Beginner who has a poorly disguised crush on her. Luke is a summoning prodigy and considers Mondo his biggest rival as a monster summoner and for Beginner's heart. Around Beginner, Luke becomes so nervous he can summon only purple sheep. Beginner, for her part, is oblivious to Luke's crush on her.

Lambda (ランダ Randa?)

A purple sheep who is a friend of Luke's.

Zaha (ザハ ?) / Gabriolis

A former Light Angel. During a great war between good and evil, he was wounded and left behind by his friend Lark. He felt betrayed and abandoned, and embraced the darkness that Redda offered him. He plagued the Mon Colle Knighs on different occasions involving attacking Dopplefanger and casting a spell on 3 of Mondo's cards (Forester the Forest Giant, Flying Stego, Scorch the Fire Monster) until Spectra appeared and reversed the spell. When he was weakened by Vipress's attack during his fight with Mondo and Water Dragon, it was later revealed by the Angel of all Oceans that Lark in fact took his place in battle and died, after which Gabriolis realized his error and reverted back to good, though maintaining his dark appearance. He also helped Mondo and Rockna defeat Dread Dragon and destroyed Redda in the final episode.
