Characters

the main protagonist of the series. His favorite food is hamburgers, although he also loves French fries, milkshakes and soft drinks. In many episodes he references Miracle Super Burgers. In another episode, since he can't buy the miraculous double superburger, he suffers from a severe depression and suffers from a phobia of hamburgers, although it ends up being a lie to give him free food, since to cure him, they had to give him many hamburgers, potatoes and vice versa. He lives in a house in the shape of his head, he is loved by Michael, although Beckham usually ignores him, unaware of his existence.
  • 11-year-old boy who is in the fifth grade of Kirikabu Elementary School. He is one of the main characters in Penguin's Troubles and accompanies Beckham in his troubles. He has a crush on Yumi, though he doesn't want her to know. Beckham is always bothering him and messing with Yumi.
  • Naoto's classmate and idol girl at Kirikabu Elementary School. She last name was revealed in the 25th episode of the long story. She looks like a normal girl, and she loves to fight. When it comes to battle, she changes her personality and she does the commentary. She's basically a common sense person, and she gets stupid sometimes.
  • A classmate with a mohawk hair. He was the only one who scored 100 points in a fairly difficult test, so he was a candidate for the main character to replace the stupid Beckham. The mohawk on the head has many mysteries, such as transforming into various things, bread, telephones, and being worth 100,000 yen. Mohawk wears what he likes every time Gordon door-to-door sales. He was taciturn in his first appearance, but he speaks from Johnny's first appearance. The five Okamoto brothers are real brothers, and they were separated three years ago.
  • He is a squirrel. He loves Beckham and is obsessed with him, he appears many times with Beckham, throwing himself on him and saying some comment about how wonderful Beckham is.
  • She is a seventy four year old woman. On occasion, she also often appears as a monster.
  • He is a middle-aged man, he is naked, although he is never seen (many times he covers himself with sunflowers), whenever he appears, Naoto usually tells him not to show himself below the waist. On different occasions, he usually appears flying with fake wings.
  • he is a penguin, just like Beckham, and he usually fights with him using the slap but always loses.
  • He's like a little brother to Beckham. The smallest. Before he came along, Beckham didn't know he had a brother.

    • Other Characters

  • A female teacher in charge of Class 1 of the 5th grade. she is 28 years old. She's basically natural.

  • A man disguised as a courier part-timer. Because he was a model for Gordon, he had his hair cut bald by a barber. He then wore a wig, which he stole and threw away. Gordon tried to give him his hat, but he was disappointed because it was his pants. When he tried to help Beckham and Naoto who were in distress on a deserted island, he dropped his wig into the sea. In the anime, the position is different from the original, and like Michael, it is almost ignored.
