A very mysterious man who works at Schaft Japan. He is in charge of the Griffon project. He seems to smile all the time and gives off the impression he's happy-go-lucky, but in fact he's very calculating, eccentric and cunning, and will stop at nothing to get the desired result.
Chief mechanic. He is married to Miharu, but has been separated from her for various years when the series starts. He is 36 years old. (Source: Wikipedia)
Karura was once princess of Na-Tunku before she was taken down and replaced with a puppet of the Shakukoporu. She is found after killing many enemy soldiers *with her bare hands* in order to escape. Even though she's royalty, she decides to live a "normal" life as "Karura", serving Hakuoro. She and her brother are the last two Giriyaginas on Earth. Her superhuman strength lets her wield a ridiculously heavy sword, thus making her a very effective shock troop, acting more like Hakuoro's tank on the battlefield and ripping through enemy troops. She's often seen carrying a jug of sake around, sometimes even on the battlefield. She appears to have known Urutori from long ago, though their shared history is never revealed. During the slave's revolt in Na-Tunku, Karura swears everlasting devotion and fealty to Hakuoro, the most sacred vow one of her kind can make. Her brother, Derihourai, becomes the new emperor of Karurauatsuurei (named after Karura), the new name she gives Na-Tunku after the slave's revolt succeeds.
Kei is a Trouble Consultant with the WWWA, an intergalactic "peace organization", with military interventionist tendancies. She and her partner, Yuri, are genetically enhanced, making them excellent fighters. Together, they are charged with taking care of problems for the WWWA, often involving bountyhunter-type activites, assasination, and occasion diplomatic missions. Wherever the two travel, massive destruction occurs, this has given the two the nickname "Dirty Pair". Whole planets sometimes begin evacuation when word of their arrival spreads. For that reason, they travel discreetly whenever possible. Kei is the more assertive of the two. She flirts with men constantly, often leading to trouble, and is a vicious spoilsport with a short fuse. Her weapon of choice is usually a very large gun, and she gets very excited when given an opportunity to fire a huge weapon. She has a tendancy towards violence and overreacting, which is tamed by Yuri's mild demeanor and contemplativeness. It can be said that while Kei is a total horndog for men, she truly, deeply cares about only one thing- and that's Yuri. Kei has bright red hair (which becomes two-tone yellow and deep orange in the sequel series "Dirty Pair Flash"). She is rather lean, and athletically built. She features extra-long legs from the "sexy hottie" school of anime drawing. Kei and Yuri both wear tiny bikinis as uniforms. The two don't care much what others think, and prefer to present themselves in a compellingly attractive way whenever possible. Despite their stereotyping way of dress, both are assertive and resourceful ladies with a solid sense of purpose and empowerment, especially Kei, who can be described as spiteful and vengeful when annoyed.

Yuri is a Trouble Consultant with the WWWA, an intergalactic "peace organization," with military interventionist tendencies. She and her partner, Kei, are genetically enhanced, making them excellent fighters. Together, they are charged with taking care of problems for the WWWA, often involving bounty hunter-type activities, assassination, and occasion diplomatic missions. Wherever the two travel, massive destruction occurs, this has given the two the nickname "Dirty Pair." Whole planets sometimes begin evacuation when word of their arrival spreads. For that reason, they travel discreetly whenever possible. Yuri is demure and doesn't speak as often or as loudly as Kei. Yui likes romanic men, and longs for her childhood sweetheart, Billy Galet. She uses is small caliber hand blaster as her weapon of choice, and is often ridiculed by Kei for using such a wimpy gun. She also likes using the elegant, yet often ineffective "bloody card" as a weapon. This razor-like rectangular throwing weapon is often worn as earring jewelry. Yuri is a deep-thinking pacifist compared to her partner, but will engage in extreme, tear-filled violent acts of vengeance whenever Kei is harmed. Sometimes it is difficult to tell if these are the actions of a "mother-figure," or an "unrequited lover." Additionally, Yuri displays hostile jealousy towards the many men in Kei's life. Yuri is a very caring individual, but when it comes to Kei, the caring reaches an amazing new order of magnitude. The two have known one another since at least grade school, and are, at a minimum, best friends- on rare occasion hinting at something more beneath the surface. Yuri has black hair, which sometimes appears in anime-blue. Her extra-long legs are from the "sexy hottie" school of anime drawing. Like Kei, she is drawn differently in the sequel series "Dirty Pair Flash." Kei and Yuri choose to wear tiny bikinis as uniforms. They are oblivious to modesty, and exemplify themselves as strong willed, tough-talking, pistol-packin' mamas with a gleam of intellect and self-determination in their eyes. They are a bit like prototypes for Xena and Gabrielle, from the live-action series "Xena," come to think of it. (Source: Absolute Anime)
