Characters
- A fifth grade elementary school boy who has the appearance of a fully grown adult but still acts his age. His appearance often gets him into trouble with the police, particularly when he hangs around his classmate Hina, who he has a crush on and is going out with.
- Atsushi's older sister who is in high school, but is short and has the appearance of a young girl. She is very responsible, but is quite reliant on Atsushi's height.
- Atsumi's classmate and friend, who develops a crush on Atsushi despite later discovering that he is actually a grade schooler. She could see Hina as a future rival for Atsushi.
- Atsushi's elementary school teacher. Having previously taught at an all-girls school, she is not good with dealing with men, particularly Atsushi. Despite this, she has been shown to retrieve him from the police when he gets taken in.
- Atsushi's classmate, who is good friends with him, the sight of which sets off alarms for onlookers getting the wrong idea. She is going out with Atsushi.
- Atsushi and Atsumi's next door neighbor whose face is never seen. He is in his early 30s and is constantly quitting his jobs, resulting in constant unemployment.
Miura
A policewoman who knows of Atsushi's predicaments as being mistaken for a pervert. She is very conscious of the fact that she's in danger of becoming an unmarried old maid.
- A policewoman who constantly has to deal with Atsushi whenever he is mistaken for a pervert.
Aono
Another policewoman who knows of Atsushi's predicaments. She is a chipper policewoman, but sometimes she goes overboard, usually to Miura's disadvantage.
- Kawauchi-sensei
She is the trainee teacher in Atsushi's elementary school who is dismayed by Atsushi's immature behavior despite looking like the man of her dreams, forcing her to develop a hidden obsession for the boy.
- A student at Atsumi's school who is an open lolicon and considers Atsumi to be a 'legal loli'.
- Yoshioka's underclassman who is the other shortest (second shortest) student in his school besides Atsumi.
- While the younger Yoshioka has a fetish for young girls, his older brother has a fetish for mature women, much to Miura's dismay.
- A friend and classmate of Hina and Atsushi. She has dark brown hair that is worn in two wavy pigtails.
- Another friend and classmate of Hina and Atsushi. She has purplish black hair that is styled in a bob cut.
