[edit] Characters
[edit] Uruno
Uruno is a wolf sent to live in the forest with the other “useless” animals. He is shy, cowardly, and passive - everything the stereotypical wolf isn’t. He has a crush on the cute little Chiiko-chan, hoping that even though he’s useless, he will win her heart someday.
[edit] Usahara
Usahara is an aggressive, bad-tempered rabbit who smokes. He often gets annoyed at Uruno and kicks him into the sky, but in reality, it seems he does care for him, as shown in episode 26.
[edit] Chiiko
Chiiko is a little clumsy cheetah girl who Uruno has a huge crush on. She is clueless, bad at running (she always trips) and hunting, but is very cute. She is also a member of the Female Feline Club, along with Kuron, Rinku, and Piyu.
[edit] Unihiko
Unihiko, the Master of the Forest, is a devilish unicorn who enjoys drinking sake and eating squid, and is the fourth character introduced. He often tricks Uruno and Usahara. He is Peganosuke's twin brother.
[edit] Peganosuke
Peganosuke is Unihiko's twin brother, who works delivering packages. He is very shy and timid, but quickly befriends Uruno, due to their shared uselessness. He takes Uruno for flights, once Uruno helps him to realise that he should enjoy life and see things never seen before.
[edit] Kumane
Kumane is a traveling saleswoman, a bear. She is outgoing and friendly, often sharing leftover goods with her companions and shares a deep bond with Usahara, being his good friend while also his rival in combat.
