Characters
- Kogarashi (コガラシ, Kogarashi?)
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, Fujiwara Naeka?)
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 presents a unique challenge to Kogarashi; though attractive and extremely busty for her age, Naeka speaks of walking the "path of the sword" like a warrior. She is independent, selfish, stubborn, can be a lethal cook, and coarsely says her mind. Naeka suffers both friends and enemies for her figure and manners, and has to tolerate the demanding "service" of Kogarashi -- but through it all, she can still be upbeat and positive.
- Fubuki (フブキ, Fubuki?)
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 is usually serious and calm, but isn't above flattery and can be prideful at times. Both in the manga and anime, she is quite reserved about showing her attractive body and will quickly punish Kogarashi for his antics with a nail-studded baseball bat or kunai... or any other weapon she carries in her arsenal.
- Fujiwara Kousuke (富士原幸助, Fujiwara Kousuke?)
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. When forced to diet, Kousuke is shown to be very handsome.
- Fujiwara Zenjuro (富士原全重郎, Fujiwara Zenjuro?)
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, Izumi Eiko?)
Voiced by: Emiri Kato
- 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. At the same time, Eiko does enjoy her friendship with Naeka, scheming for their kendo club, wanting in on the latest gossip, or needing help with the maid cafe where she and Miwa works.
- Hirano Miwa (平野美和, Hirano Miwa?)
Voiced by: Yu Kobayashi
- A friend and fellow classmate to Naeka. A short-haired and more rational member of the kendo club, Miwa is a decently performing student. Though she sometimes comes off as insensitive to her friend, she doesn't deny Naeka's skillful swordsmanship and determination. She works with Eiko at the maid cafe "Derlanger", that holds a rivalry with a neighboring shop.
- The Fujuwara Naeka Breast/Male Kendo Club
- Three boys from Shuuhou Seiha Private School who show up randomly thoughout the series. They are an unwelcome sight to Naeka, as they loudly and openly proclaim their love for her generous bust. In the anime, they are not referred to by name, though they do address their "Leader" as such.
- Tabaruzaka Saki (田原坂沙希, Tabaruzaka Saki?)
Voiced by: Yuko Kaida
- 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 peek at Naeka 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. It's implied that in her first appearance, Saki forced Naeka to have sex with her.
- Uomatsu Maguro
Voiced by: Shiro Saito
- An omnipresent fish market salesman, both in the manga and anime. Mr. Uomatsu seldom interacts with the cast directly, but does acknowledge Kogarashi's superiority & usefulness at times.
- Elizabeth K. Strawberryfield (エリザベス・K・ストロベリーフィールド, Elizabeth K. Strawberryfield?)
Voiced by: Saki Fujita
- Introducing herself as "Liz", she is a transfer student to Shuuhou Seiha Private School. A 13-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 a mildly unsettling foot fetish. She takes on the persona of "Strawberry Mask" as a disguise, even though everyone can easily tell who she is.
- Shizuku & Tsurara (シズク & ツララ, Shizuku & Tsurara?)
Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (Shizuku), and Hiroe Oka (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.
- Hendrick Strawberryfield (ヘンドリック・ストロベリーフィールド, Hendrick Strawberryfield?)
- An unapologetic and shallow young man, fixated on large breasts. Hendrick uses a hypnotic effect from his eyes to command girls, who then willingly do and say anything to please him. He also has his family's wealth to exploit, but he is often the victim of his own single-minded lust. This fixation led to his younger sister Liz's inferiority complex, where she despises any girl with large breasts (thus her distaste for Naeka.)
- Arayashiki Yoshie (荒屋敷吉江, Arayashiki Yoshie?)
Voiced by: Mayumi Yamaguchi
- A huge and brazen student from Shugendou High School, another rival to Naeka. Arayashiki is utterly consumed with a need for revenge, after an embarrassing match with Naeka where the results left her disrobed (to the horror of the audience.) Naeka fears having to risk Arayashiki's wrath and suffer the same humiliation, but Kogarashi does intervene when the situation gets out of hand.
- Arashi of Everlasting Youth (常若のアラシ, Arashi of Everlasting Youth?)
- Introduced in Volume 5 of the manga series, is Fubuki's very youthful and attractive grandmother. She holds the title of メイドマスタ("Maid Master") of the academy where presumably Fubuki and other maids undergo rigorous training. Arashi maintains a pleasant and playful facade, but can be temperamental, rough with discipline, and especially violent if she's called old. Shockingly, she and Zenjuro are a mutually romantic couple. Arashi is exclusive to the manga, with no appearances or references in the anime series.
