Angel Beats Fandub

Originally voiced by Brittney Karbowski.

Yuri possesses the traits of a charismatic leader, as her determination and her ability to stay calm even in difficult situations always earns her the respect of the rest of the SSS at the end of the day. She is very intelligent and able to understand situations and think on her feet. However, she can be somewhat scatterbrained at times, as she once involved newly-recruited Yuruzu Otonashi in a conference on whether the name of their club should be changed. Occasionally, she lets out a large, haughty, ojou-sama-esque laugh whenever events go her way. Yusa once commented that she sounds like a villain.

Her nickname is "Yurippe", a nickname suggested by Hinata because his mother had the same name and he felt strange calling her that. Almost all of the known SSS members only call her by her nickname (except Otonashi, Shiina and Iwasawa). Despite being the leader, Yuri gives full respect to her other members as well. This is seen when Yuri calls Iwasawa and Shiina with "-san" at the end of their names, acknowledging their strengths and capabilities.

She is also not afraid to make necessary sacrifices, usually involving her subordinates' deaths since she is fully aware that they will recover from being "dead." Despite this, she feels responsible for the lives of her subordinates and is badly affected by their loss. When it becomes obvious that a situation has arisen where death (or conditions similar to death) is permanent, she assumes the burden of fighting alone and attempts to ensure everyone else is safe even if she knows that it is pretty much suicide.

Kanade does not appear to be much different than a typical High School girl, but this is contrasted by her lack of detectable emotion. It is difficult to understand what she is thinking due to her rarely showing any outward emotion. Her lack of expression also makes it difficult to determine whether or not she has any consciousness. The story reveals her to be rather intelligent, as she was able to make use of the Angel Player program, creating weapons and giving herself defense mechanisms. This lead to the Afterlife Battle Front to believe she is an angel from God. In later events, she is shown to have abandoned being friendly because of the rules of the world she is in, as her newly-found friends inevitably leave her when they disappear. As the series progresses, she shows a little of her emotions, mostly to Otonashi. In Episode 13, Kanade goes as far as to give a small pout and can be seen smiling at times.

She is fond of eating Mapo Tofu, even going so far as to ignore school rules to eat it. She also includes it in her self-made school anthem at the close of the series. She spends portions of her free time gardening, and is actually part of the disbanded gardening club. She recently became friends with Otonashi, even though she didn't realize this until Otonashi said so. Although this did not alter her personality much, she allows him to call her by her first name, Kanade, and seems to exclusively talk to and hang around him. Kanade helped him fight Naoi and saved Otonashi and the SSS from being eaten by the River Monster.

Later on, she opens up to Otonashi, talking to him casually and even helping out in Otonashi's plans to help the SSS confront their lingering feelings of angst and regret over their deaths. After spending more time with her, Otonashi discovers her lack of common sense. Otonashi describes her as a "Clumsy Angel". She seems to have a large amount of pain tolerance, as she has been shot several times by the SSS without any reaction or indication of suffering. In skirmishes with the SSS, she usually ends up being injured; She always recovers with ease.

Hinata is a young man with a bright and dependable personality who becomes the first unofficial member of SSS (he becomes partners with Yuri Nakamura before the founding of the SSS and decides he will follow her no matter what) along with Ooyama (Hinata's human roommate) and he also is the one who started calling Yuri as "Yurippe" because Yuri was his mother's name and he felt strange calling her that. He also becomes Yuzuru Otonashi's friend, and his flirtatious nature causes Otonashi to suspect that he might be homosexual, which he always denies. He sometimes gives nicknames, such as "Yurippe" (Yuri) and 'Shiina-chi" (Eri Shiina). He also once called Ooyama "Yampaii" because he thought it had more personality. He was the first one to use the term "Tenshi(Angel)" when addressing kanade Tachibana He is also the most friendly in the SSS and the most happy-go-lucky in the group. He's cheerful and flirtatious. Although he is friendly to anyone, he is only aggressive to Yui Noda, and Ayato Naoi.

Hinata is often used as a source of comedy throughout the series, one example being his conflicts with Yui and Naoi. Many unfortunate incidents befall upon him, such as when he is kicked down a pitfall trap by Yuri for touching her in the wrong spot in the first shown trip to Guild, being subject to cry out his inferiority to a clothespin, and almost to how easily toilet paper is flushed (both by Naoi due to hypnotism).

He has a calm and polite personality. He contributes to the SSS with mainly intelligence gathering and other affairs, but does not actively go out and fight. He tries to avoid trouble as quickly as possible.

Yuri herself says to not be fooled by his glasses and that he is actually stupid (he and Takeyama were the only known members to wear glasses), though he really looks like a smart person because of the intelligence and information he contributes to the group.

Noda (野田, Noda) is a self-reliant young man who executes the strategies formed by the SSS and fights with a halberd. He does not listen to anyone other than Yuri, whom he has adoration for, resulting in him not being afraid of threatening or killing anyone who questions Yurippe's leadership. He quickly developed a one-sided rivalry towards Otonashi for no other reason than that he refused to enlist to the SSS, and disgracing Yurippe by doing so. This silly rivarly only faded as the shadows started appearing and Noda had no choice but to cooperate if he was gonna be able to assist Yurippe.

Shiina usually puts up a tough and quiet front, but she is extremely fond of cute things, especially stuffed animals, even though it may be a set-up or a trap of the enemy. It also seems that she is overprotective of the stuffed animals she has, and she often mistakes them for real animals which leads her easily into traps.

She is able to sense when danger is coming. She is good when it comes to concentrating and is very strict in her training and would continue with her training even when she is needed to do something else. Shiina's training mostly consist of balancing objects such as broomsticks, scissors, and mops on her fingertip, sometimes balancing one on each of her fingers simultaneously while doing something else. She also says in the later episodes that Yuzuru Otonashi should consider the fact that when she's fighting or in battle with them she makes the team seem like it's 100 men stronger.

She also usually says the phrase "how shallow-minded" (あさはかなり, asahaka nari) when she remarks on her colleagues' actions. But in the English Dubbed version her phrase has been translated as "this is so stupid" instead.

He is a snobbish guy who picks on new people like Otonashi (reason for this is unknown), though as the series progresses he torments Otonashi less and less. He is one of the most reliable members of the group, along with Noda. Although he displays a tough bravado, he is unable to swim and he drowns very easily. It seems that he is good friends with Ooyama. Though as the series start heading towards the end, he wants to be remembered when everyone leaves instead of just being the kind of person to be forgotten.

"TK" is a mysterious character who speaks in semi-nonsensical English quoted from pop culture depending on the situation of the scene. He saves the team many times and does know some Japanese but rarely speaks it, and it seems he understands what the others say to him. And he is talented in almost anything (mostly in dancing). He was always seen dancing even though fighting his enemies. His real identity and his name are unknown to characters in the show, even to the SSS, so they identify him as "TK", a nickname given to him by Noda. However behind character names in the opening sequence their Romaji name can be seen written in faint letters, and behind "TK" it says "Thei Kai".

One particular trait of his is his inability to remain still, as he is in constant movement whenever he is not doing anything at all (although at times he can be seen not in constant movement). His catchphrases appear to be 'Just a wild heaven' and 'kiss you'.

He is calm and everyone relies on him. He was always seen training in the nearby forest. According to TK, Matsushita goes into intensive training in the mountains near the school from episode 10 and is not seen again until episode 12 when he returns, being much slimmer. Over the course of the series, he gets TK to teach him various dance moves and from Yuri's words has taught the SSS some judo moves before as well.

Ooyama is very innocent, childlike, enthusiastic, optimistic and cheerful person who does not have any unique or prominent traits, making him a person that does not stand out socially. He is generally gentle, encouraging and incredibly caring for people of many backgrounds, and tends to be understanding of a situation or takes things with a grain of salt. He believes in true love and takes romance seriously, easily getting embarrassed with the idea of confessing to someone.

Ooyama does his best to do his assigned tasks and does what he is told, seemingly happy to be needed. However, he is very forgetful, messes up often, timid, and easily frightened, which makes him somewhat unreliable. He is affectionate to his closest friends and is able to socialize easily with them. He is generally reserved and somewhat shy, usually staying quite when the group is talking to a new person, but he's still friendly and warm.

He seems to see the best in others and is very forgiving. He is overly emotional and easily hurt, and cries very easily. Because of this sensitivity, he is prone to being emotionally scarred and traumatized, which is a running gag in the series.

Takeyama takes pride in his work, but questions the actions of others (Seen with Otonashi in the visual novel). He prefers to be called the codenamed, "Christ" rather than his actual name. He is a smart individual and is well-versed in software engineering as he was the one who wrote the, "Briefing Manager" program that Yuri uses to brief the SSS prior to many operations. He does not engage in combat or any other physical operations, but rather gathers data and information.

Yui is an extremely bright, cheerful, crazy and wild girl who is known to be hyperactive and talks extremely fast. Even within the members of the SSS, she comes off as very excited and loud. She is often flirtatious with others, and takes advantage of every opportunity she can. She usually tells the other SSS members that they're "morons", mostly because under the surface she is actually quite intelligent. She is also a huge admirer of Hisako because of her 'murderous' guitar rift.

Her upbeat personality is most likely inspired by her past life in the living world where she was paralyzed since she was four years old from head to toe.

Before joining the SSS, he is much stricter than Angel was and his first action as president is to punish the SSS for their constant disobedience. He even massacred the SSS after Otonashi and Kanade were sent to the reflection room. Later on, when he joins the SSS, his affection for Otonashi and antagonistic attitude towards the others are used as a constant source of comic relief. He often says negative remarks on others, and then says that with the exception of Otonashi. He also claims that he is a God, though the SSS insist that he is not. Hinata is usually the target of his hypnotism, due to Hinata's constant teasing.
