MAIN CAST'S DESCRIPTION



Ookochi Sakuya - Main character of the series, Sakuya is the highly talented lead singer of Λucifer. He is known for his striking blue eyes which are inherited from his American father. However, Sakuya is also rude, physical, and doesn't care about life even when he starts singing with the band Lucifer.

Sakuya lived most of his young teenage life paying off his mother’s debt at the club she worked in. Like his mother, he sang and played the piano for club guests, but to make more money he also worked as a male escort on the side.

Because of his harsh experiences as a child, Sakuya's sense of trust was lost in people. But when he meets Aine, a high school girl, he shows a new caring and sensitive light towards others, especially to Aine. When she first starts working for them he says to himself that he is just selfishly using her, but after a while his true feelings start pouring out.

*******************************************************************************************************************************



Yukimari Aine- Aine is one of the main characters in Kakain Phrase . She is 17 and a ordinary Japanese student until the day she meets Sakuya . Aine had written lyrics for a song contest . She however let them get away from her and ran in front of a car to get them back. The car belonged to Sakuya. After checking to make sure she was okay he gave her a back stage pass to his band's (Lucifer) concert a few days later. Aine went and to her shock, guess what the new song they premiered at it was! Hers!

Sakuya decides he wants Aine to write lyrics for Lucifer. Aine agrees and the pair share more than just a buisness relationship. In no time both have fallen in love and would do anything for the other. Through out the series both go to great lengths to protect each other. Aine turns out to be a very talented Lyricist (sensual lyrics being her specialty) and during the series she is very sought after by other singers/bands that try to get her to write for them as well.

Aine starts off as a bit of a pushover. She has trouble at first standing up for herself. As the story progresses she truly evolves as a character. By volume 17, she has grown into a wonderfully strong and together woman who is lucky to have a wonderful man to spend her life with.

Side Character(/\ucifer)



Yuki- Santa's old friend and one of the founders of the band, Yuki has the strongest sense of leadership and responsibility that naturally makes him the band leader. He is often the one who knocks sense into Sakuya (sometimes almost too literally) whenever Sakuya's primal feelings blind him to Aine’s own hurt and pain, and the exasperation he causes his band mates.

Yuki is the eldest son of a famous, traditional Noh theater family, but was forced to choose between the band and his family when he was offered a record contract. He chose the band and was subsequently disowned by his father, but a later episode of the series reveals a friendly relationship between the two. On a side note, Yuki is married and has a child.

*******************************************************************************************************************************


Santa- Aucifer’s drummer, Santa’s namesake comes from his birth date, which is on Christmas Day. Santa is an easy-going, but boisterous guy, who formerly played in Climb with his girlfriend Yumi. Other than that, his history is little known when compared to his band mates, and is the only one who remains single at the end of the series.

*******************************************************************************************************************************


Towa- Bass guitarist of Λucifer. Much to his dislike, Towa’s androgynous good looks make not only women but also men swoon over him. Born with fair, wavy hair and “cursed” with the inability to tan, Towa’s looks blur the lines between people’s perception of his gender so much that some people ignore his natural gender do not even consider him as a man. Although Towa is irked by this, he only truly cares for the opinion of his childhood friend and current girlfriend, Miya, Λucier’s official makeup artist. Miya, ironically, is considered tomboyish and considers herself a rather plain woman. She and Towa completely complement each other, as in each other’s eyes, Towa is fully man as much as Miya is fully woman.

*******************************************************************************************************************************


Atsuro Kiryuu- As the most friendly and cheerful member of Λucifer, Atsuro serves as the comic relief in Kaikan Phrase. Atsuro’s long-time girlfriend, Yuuka, is actually his stepsister with whom he desperately tries to keep their relationship a secret from their parents, the media, and even his band mates. Towards the end of the series, his whole band (except Sakuya) reveals that they had known of their relationship all along. Also by the end, Atsuro and Yuuka also make a conscious decision to be open about their relationship to the public.
