Shuichi is the protagonist of Gravitation. He's the lead singer of an upcoming band entitled Bad Luck. Shuichi has the strangest personality. He's optimistic and extremely hyper. He's a fun loving boy that almost always has a smile on his face.
But there's more to Shuichi than meets the eye. Besides the fact that he practically ruins every serious scene with some sort of insanity, he's got a lot of depth. Shuichi cares about the people around him more than anything. Without his best friend, Hiro, and the one he loves, he feels that he can't survive.
Shuichi loves what he does. Ever since he was a little kid he wanted to become a singer just like his idol, Ryuichi of Nittle Grasper. Bit by bit his life is coming together. And then one night, Shuichi's life did a 180.
Shuichi met a man named Yuki that night. Yuki was cold and his comments hurt Shuichi, but left a lasting impression on him at the same time. Shuichi soon found himself attracted to Yuki and Shuichi himself couldn't explain it.
Now with his band on the way to the top, Shuichi has to face the reality that he is in fact in love with Yuki. What will this mean for his career? And can Shuichi take the ordeal he is about to go through?

Yuki is literally Shuichi's exact opposite. While Shuichi is always acting goofy and smiling, Yuki has a cold personality and shows very little emotion at all. But like the rest of the cast, there's more to Yuki than meets the eye.
Yuki is a famous award winning novelist. Girls all over Japan are in love with him and find him gorgeous. But Shuichi is different from all of them. Shuichi is the only person is Yuki's life, besides Tohma and maybe his sister, who truly care about him. And Shuichi is the only one that has even come close to thawing Yuki's heart of ice.
Once, Yuki used to be just like Shuichi, but Yuki had an extremely hard childhood which continuously comes back to haunt him. And Yuki isn't sure how to react to Shuichi. Shuichi even invites himself to live with Yuki without asking him first. Yuki must sort out his feelings and confront his past, or else the waters of the future aren't calm at all...

Age: 19
Blood Type: B
Height: 178cm
Weight: 62kg
Hiro has been Shuichi's best friend since they were little kids. Hiro can read Shuichi like a book and knows what's going on even before Shuichi does. Hiro is also the guitarist in Bad Luck and with Shuichi, has dreams to surpass Nittle Grasper. But like every other character in Gravitation, Hiro is a lot more than a pretty face.
Hiro has an extremely strong personality and is very determined. He attempts to keep a clear head and stand up for what he believes in. He is also always there for Shuichi. He's the greatest friend Shuichi could ever have asked for. He looks after Shuichi and encourages him to follow his heart and do the right thing. Whenever Shuichi is floating up in the clouds or is depressed about something, it's Hiro that brings him back to his senses. And when Hiro realizes that there is nothing more he can do, Hiro goes to Yuki - all to help his friend.
Hiro falls in love with Yuki's fiancée, Ayaka, and believes he doesn't have a chance. But slowly Hiro's luck is going to change. As a key member of Bad Luck, and Shuichi's best friend, Hiro plays an important role in this series.
Name: Suguru Hujisaki
Birthday: July 6
Age: 16
Blood Type: A
Height: 160cm
Suguru is the third and final member of Bad Luck and plays the keyboard. He was brought in under Tohma's request. Bad Luck was always Shuichi and Hiro, therefore when Shuichi found out about Suguru, he wasn't pleased. And after realizing how truly talented Suguru is, Shuichi begins to despise the boy. Slowly, Shuichi leans to accept Suguru into his group.
Suguru is a relative of Tohma, but since he has always been compared to Tohma, Suguru wishes to surpass him and Nittle Grasper. Out of all the members of Bad Luck, Suguru is the hardest working. He's also extremely dedicated. While everyone else is lounging around and dealing with strange issues, Suguru is always still working his hardest.
Because of all the hard work and effort he puts into his work, Suguru is often very annoyed with Shuichi, Hiro, and even K. He doesn't understand Shuichi's personality and for this reason, there's a little bit of chemistry missing between them.
Name: K
Birthday: September 19
Age: 29
Blood Type: A
Height: 175cm
Weight: 62kg
Mr K is Ryuichi's former manager and now the manager of Bad Luck. This American is known for his love of weapons, and carries a gun, bazooka, or something like that with him at all times. His style can be summed up in a few short words: Do what I say, or else I will shot you.
K is also known for his use of English. In every other line he'll speak a word or two of English just to spice things up.
K will do whatever he can to allow Bad Luck to reach the top. K comes up with all these crazy plans and follows through with them. Some of his schemes seem like overkill, but in the end, K always seems to be right and manages to create a happy ending.
Watch out for him though. If you fail to listen to him, you WILL be shot at.
Name: Sakano
Birthday: September 19
Age: 29
Blood Type: A
Height: 175cm
Weight: 62kg
Sakano-san is Bad Luck's manager. He looks up to Tohma and follows his word to the letter. Sakano is a hard worker, however he lacks a backbone and worries a little too much. He can almost always be seen panicking in the background somewhere.
Name: Tatsuha Uesugi
Birthday: December 21
Age: 16
Blood Type: AB
Height: 180cm
Weight: 67kg
Tatsuha is Yuki's younger brother. However, unlike his older brother and sister, Tatsuha shows a lot of emotion. It appears that he and Eiri used to be closer when they were children, but have since drifted apart.
Like Shuichi, Tatsuha is a huge Ryuichi fan. Tatsuha seems to be a little more obsessive than Shuichi though. When Tatsuha meets Shuichi for the first time, he sees the resemblance between Ryuichi and Shuichi right away and seems to like Shuichi.
Tatsuha may be a little on the weird side, but in the end, he does that right thing and helps Shuichi out.
Name: Ryuichi Sakuma
Birthday: April 1
Age: 31
Blood Type: B
Height: 165cm
Weight: 53kg
Ryuichi is my favorite character from Gravitation and definitely one of the most interesting. Ryuichi is the lead singer in the world famous band Nittle Grasper, and as such is Shuichi's idol. However, after seeing Shuichi up on stage, Ryuichi is reminded of himself and learns to enjoy Shuichi's company. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that Shuichi and Ryuichi are rivals, and that Shuichi is beginning to surpass Ryuichi. However, ironically enough, just as Shuichi is a fan of Ryuichi, Ryuichi is a fan of Shuichi and seems to like the boy.
Ryuichi is very interesting because he has split personalities. His main personality is carefree and very much like Shuichi's. He is very naive and innocent and seems to be the master of puns. He is also slightly off kilter. Ryuichi does the weirdest and most interesting things - from dressing up in a pink bunny outfit, to impersonating his own version of Batman. This side of Ryuichi can almost always been seen with a stuffed bunny rabbit at his side. This bunny's name is Kumagoro and is Ryu-chan's best friend. He talks to Kumagoro and takes him everywhere he goes.^^
Ryuichi's other "half" takes a lot of people off guard. Sometimes when Ryuichi is performing, he can slip into another state and go from a fun-loving kid, to a serious and determined person who has a strange mysterious charm about him. On the few occasions that this other half can be seen, the outcome never seems to be positive. But switching back and force between "halves" is what makes Ryu-chan who he is.
Ryu-chan may appear to be re-living his childhood, but he's full of advice and support and he'll do whatever he can to help out Shuichi when he needs it. With Ryuichi's bright smile and wonderful personality, he truly does shine.
Kumagorou is ryuichi's little stuffed rabbit, his constant companion and snuggly pal. he is seen playing with it almost every time he shows up, only putting it down to sing and perform in concerts. nobody really knows where kumagorou came from, why ryuichi is so attached to it, or why he continues to carry a stuffed animal around with him even in his thirties. is ryuichi just the kind of sweet, adorable guy who'd see no problem with his bunny always being with him? probably.
Name: Tohma Seguchi
Birthday: November 20
Age: 32
Blood Type: B
Height: 175cm
Weight: 55kg
Tohma is a key character is Gravitation. Besides looking a little too much like Quatre from Gundam Wing, he is the president of NG records and runs the label that works with Bad Luck. Like Ryuichi, Tohma finds that there is something special about Shuichi. Tohma is also a keyboardist in the group Nittle Grasper and a talented musician. He is known world-wide for the musical work he does.
At first Tohma just seems to be a normal character, but he is connected to more of the story than one might originally expect. Tohma is married to Eiri's sister. On top of that, Tohma has known Eiri since he was young and knows all about his past.
Tohma secretly loves Eiri more than anything in the world. And, he'll do whatever it takes to make sure Eiri is happy.
Name: Noriko Ukai
Birthday: August 5
Age: 28
Blood Type: O
Height: 160cm
Weight: 48kg
As one of the few female characters of the series, Noriko doesn't play a huge role. She's a keyboardist in the group Nittle Grasper.
She and Ryuichi seem to be good friends and she seems to like to cling onto Ryu-chan as well. Just as Hiro brings Shuichi back to his senses, Noriko has a similar role with Ryuichi. When Ryuichi starts acting like too much of a child, Noriko is always there to pick him up and bring him back to reality.
Noriko's role may be minor, but she's a powerful female figure nevertheless.
