List of Baka and Test characters

The characters of the Baka and Test series were created by Kenji Inoue, with illustration and character design by Yui Haga. The story centers on a boy named Akihisa Yoshii, also known as the idiot or "baka" of the title. He attends Fumizuki Academy, a school where the staff rigidly divides its students based on the results of their academic scores.

Second-Year Students

Class F

The worst class with the worst facilities, including decrepit tables (later changed into upturned cardboard boxes then to large clipboards with rope to hold them up), tatami mats and under-stuffed sitting cushions; 47 males, 2 females, and Hideyoshi make up the class. There is a total of 149 boys enrolled in the second-year class, so approximately one-third are in Class 2-F.

Akihisa Yoshii (吉井 明久, Yoshii Akihisa)

Voiced by: Hiro Shimono (Japanese); Jessie James Grelle (English)

Akihisa Yoshii is the protagonist of the story and acts as the first-person narrator in the novels. He is portrayed as the Ultimate Idiot (Baka among all Baka) and is implied to have the worst grades among his peers of the same level. In the novels, his friends make fun of his idiocy by turning his name, by appending the suffix "-ful", into an English adjective; "He is so Akihisaful" essentially means "He is so stupid" in the context of the novels. Because of his absolute idiocy, he is also given the title of Punishment Inspector (Probationary Student in the English Dub of the Anime) (観察処分者, Kansatsu Shobunsha) and his Shōkanjū (Summoned Being) is the only Shōkanjū given the ability to touch corporeal objects in order to help the teachers with chores as punishment for being the Ultimate Idiot. Because Shōkanjū are many times stronger than humans, Akihisa can help the teachers perform tasks that would normally require the strength of many people. The flip side to this "special ability" is the "feedback", which means that any damage taken by his Shōkanjū will be transmitted to himself as well (so if the Shōkanjū ("Avatar") was punched in the gut, he would feel the same pain there). Thus, he is always reluctant to fight Shōkanjū battles due to the pain he would receive during battle. However, because he is accustomed to controlling his Shōkanjū, compared to the other students, his Shōkanjū is unmatched in speed, is more agile, and can execute many unorthodox moves (such as sliding attacks), and this has enabled him to win battles otherwise thought to be impossible due to his poor grades.

His Shōkanjū's ability to touch corporeal objects is also instrumental in helping his class defeat Class 2-B in Volume 1. Despite being an idiot, Akihisa is generally polite and well mannered among his friends. Yuuji is Akihisa’s closest guy friend and confidant, though they also share a rivalry with one another and tend to play tricks on each other. Akihisa's parents are on long-term overseas work assignments and send money back regularly. However, he always spends this money on the latest games, and as a result, he has to live on merely salt, sugar, and water. In the anime, he is depicted to survive on a sub-divided piece of cup noodles which can be as small as 1/64 of the entire piece. Akihisa has many romantic admirers both female and male, including Mizuki Himeji, Minami Shimada, Hazuki Shimada, Toshimitsu Kubo, and Akira Yoshii (his sister), but is oblivious to this due to his idiocy. Everyone around him is aware of this, as shown when his older sister showed the two girls his fetish and Mizuki tried to attract him by tying her hair, but he still was thickheaded about her feelings. It is also suggested in the anime that both Mizuki and Minami are acting like his girlfriends, unbeknownst to him, and as they do they will try to burn any R18+ magazines he has. A running gag throughout the series is that he is attracted to Hideyoshi Kinoshita due to Hideyoshi's very feminine appearance, going so far as to frequently fawn over him and comment about how hot he is. Despite the fact that they always sabotage each other's reputation, Akihisa has a close friendship with Yūji and can communicate with him just by glances and without any words. Akihisa is also the class ambassador of Class 2-F, appointed by Yūji.

Akihisa also has excellent cooking skills, as a result of having to fend for himself because he lives alone, and is good at housework. His favorite dish to make and eat is paella. After the tournament in Volume 2, Akihisa acquired the platinum bracelet that lets him perform dual summons, allowing him to have two Shōkanjū in a battle. Since Akira started living with Akihisa, his grades have seen a significant improvement from what they were before since he has more incentive to study. His Shōkanjū wears a school uniform and wields a bokken. During the ESB field error, his Shōkanjū was unaffected, but it multiplied enough to literally flow out of the school itself.

Mizuki Himeji (姫路 瑞希, Himeji Mizuki)

Voiced by: Hitomi Harada (Japanese); Alexis Tipton (English)

Mizuki Himeji is the principal female character and one of the smartest students in Fumizuki Academy and would have probably ranked second in her level if not for her inability to finish her placement exam due to her fever. In Fumizuki Academy, leaving in the middle of an exam gets a student zero, regardless of the reason. As a result, Mizuki was placed in the worst class, Class 2-F. Despite the poor conditions of her class which were unfavourable to her fragile health, she claims to be happy because her love interest, Akihisa Yoshii, is in the same class. Mizuki is also portrayed as a shy, timid, innocent, yet ambitious young girl, with a very well-developed bust size (an 'F-Cup' in Japan; equivalent to a 'DD-Cup' in the US). Akihisa and Mizuki used to be in the same elementary school, and since then, she has long admired Akihisa for his thoughtfulness and caring personality. Mizuki also finds Akihisa cute, especially in maid costumes, and was overcome by some sort of weakness when she first saw him wearing a maid costume (when he was chased by Miharu and bumped into Hideyoshi who had some costumes with him). Towards the end of Volume 2, Mizuki changes her way of addressing Akihisa from Yoshii-kun (吉井くん) to Akihisa-kun (明久くん). At the end of Volume 8, Mizuki kisses Akihisa to get him to stay home while he is sick, despite Classes F and C having an exam war that day.

Even though she has both brains and beauty, Mizuki's cooking is lethal, and in the novel anyone who eats her handmade cooking goes into a coma, including Hideyoshi Kinoshita who is known for his strong stomach. However, she is completely oblivious to the lethality of her own cooking because she does not taste her cooking, and as stated in the novels she adds several chemicals that will create even more potent acids such as the Aqua Regia and hydrochloric acid, also when asked by Yoshii when Yūji, Hideyoshi and Kōta went nearly out cold due to her cooking. She is on particularly good terms with Minami, calling her Minami-chan (美波ちゃん) (by her given name), despite the fact that they are love-rivals. Often, she will emit a killing intent aura and yandere-like eyes whenever she hears that Akihisa is with some other woman, like when Yūji claimed that Akihisa was with a college girl. She will also exhibit extreme denial if she finds any evidence of a girl in his life, such as when she saw his sister's clothes hanging in his apartment—saying that they were "not his size"; to her claiming that a make-up removing cotton puff on his table was a fish cake. This side of her tends to increase more and more as the series goes on. In the anime, it is sometimes suggested that she acts like Akihisa's girlfriend and will try to burn any R18+ magazines he has, along with the aid of Minami.

Her Shōkanjū is clad in heavy armor and wields a large sword. During the ESB field error, her Shōkanjū looks like an adult version of herself, while wearing the costume resembling Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers. Not to mention that her Shōkanjū's older version is displaying a noticeable exceptional growth in her bust size, which to Mizuki, embarrasses her to no end. Also, in the first theme song, she is holding a six-sided die in mid-air. The kana on its sides spell out "バカとテスト", or "Baka to Tesuto", which is the name of the show.

Minami Shimada (島田 美波, Shimada Minami)

Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (Japanese); Leah Clark (English)

Minami Shimada is one of the two female students in Class 2-F. She is Japanese but spent most of her life in Germany before coming to Fumizuki Academy, and as a result she is especially weak in kanji. Because of this handicap, the only exam in which she can do well in is math (which still isn't as good as Class 2-A's, due to the presence of word problems). She will also revert to speaking German whenever she's in shock. Minami is the tsundere of the series. Physically, she is slim and has long legs, and can be considered pretty attractive. However, she's somewhat lacking in the 'chest department' (an 'A-Cup' in Japan {she has stated, if they're lifted, they're probably a 'B-Cup'}; equivalent to a 'AA-Cup' in the US {or as she stated, probably an 'A-cup' in US}) and isn't a Valley Girl at all. Due to this, she's often being envious of Mizuki's large bust size, showing an inferiority complex about it (in the anime). Like Mizuki, she too is in love with Akihisa, but due to her inability to express herself and her tsundere nature, she acts violently towards him, often leading him to misunderstand her intentions. During the class battles in Volume 1, while executing a delay tactic, Akihisa indirectly defamed Minami and landed herself in the list of "Top Ten Women Not To Date" among the guys in Fumizuki.

In the novel and manga, during a battle in which Akihisa's survival depended on Minami, he was blackmailed to address Minami by her given name, and from then onwards, she started calling him Aki (アキ), instead of Yoshii (吉井), while he would refer to her by her given name as well. Whereas, in the anime, this took place when she threatened to break his bones. It is a running gag in the light novel series that whenever Minami expresses genuine concern for Akihisa through her actions or words, Akihisa always draws the conclusion that he is going to be killed or sabotaged by her in some obscure way. Even though they are love-rivals, Minami is on good terms with Mizuki, the only other girl in Class 2-F, and calling her by her given name as well. She's also good at cooking, due to the fact that her parents are not at home most of the time. Like Mizuki (in the anime), it is also suggested that she acts like Akihisa's girlfriend and will try to burn any pornographic magazines that he has. In Episode 7 of Season 2, Akihisa accidentally sends her what appears to be a confession of love through texting, this later causes her to attack him in his sleep, and she ambushes him with a kiss at the end of the credits.

Her Shōkanjū is clad in a blue naval military uniform and wields a saber. During the ESB field error, her Shōkanjū looks like an adult version of herself, while wearing a costume similar to Lilith's. Unfortunately, her Shōkanjū's older version still lacks in the bust size, which Akihisa points out (that nothing has really changed).

Yūji Sakamoto (坂本 雄二, Sakamoto Yūji)

Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki (Japanese); Scott Freeman (English)

Yūji Sakamoto is a red-haired boy, the class representative of Class 2-F, and, together with Yoshii, make up the main comedic duo of the series. In the series, the class representative position is assigned to Yuji as he is the smartest student of that class. He is cool, collected, and exhibit surprisingly high intelligence and foresight unexpected of a student from Class 2-F. A master strategist, Yuji generally comes up with the battle plans during class wars. In Volume 1, his strategies and tactics helped Class 2-F to attain victory after victory, until the duels with Class 2-A in which he overestimated his ability in elementary school-level Japanese history. Yūji was once known as a child prodigy in his childhood. The only reason he ended up in Class F was that he did not study at all and he holds the strong belief that grades are not everything. However, due to the consequences he 'suffered' from his defeat from Shōko Kirishima(his childhood friend and the top student of his level), he became motivated to study again. In the later volumes, his Shōkanjū became reasonably strong in just a few months due to his test scores improving by leaps and bounds. It is implied that he is actually smarter than his childhood friend, Shōko but shows little to no interest in advancing to a higher ranked class.

After the tournament in Volume 2, he acquires a platinum bracelet which allows him to control the size of the force field of his Shōkanjū, allowing him to form a one-man army since humans cannot pass through this force field. He bears no ill intention towards Shōko, but due to Shōko's unyielding obsession with marrying Yūji since their childhood days, he sees her as having a few loose screws in her mind, and fears to even think of his future if he did marry her. In the anime, it is suggested that they act like a married couple though she tends to treat him as a slave in order for him not to escape her. Despite this, he does actually think well of Shōko and it is implied to have feelings for her himself, although he denies this. Yūji is close to Akihisa to the point where they can actually communicate without any words. A gag in the series is that Yūji will attempt to decipher a complicated expression on Akihisa and comment on a series of events that must have taken place. While he meant it as a joke, he is always a spot-on when this happens.

His Shōkanjū wears a long trench coat that makes it look like a punk, and is armed with brass knuckles. During the ESB field error, his Shōkanjū becomes a handsome adult version of himself, wearing a school uniform with an open collar, much to Shōko's delight.

Hideyoshi Kinoshita (木下 秀吉, Kinoshita Hideyoshi)

Voiced by: Emiri Katō (Japanese); Brina Palencia (English)

Hideyoshi Kinoshita is a chilled and very feminine-looking bishōnen and is the younger twin brother of Yūko Kinoshita of Class 2-A. Despite being a fraternal twin, except for his male body, he looks almost identical to his twin sister. Because of that, his male peers, and many of his female peers, see him as a female, which upsets him though he doesn't express it strongly. In the anime, his feminine looks are often the subject of fanservice, going so far as to make him strongly appear as a female. In one episode, he was found to have his own school locker room, and even a separate bathhouse due to society acknowledging him as his own gender. Hideyoshi has a helpful personality and is willing to support any activity his friends embark on. He uses the term 'Washi (儂)', used by old venerable men to describe himself. While he is bad in academics, he has unquestionable talent in acting, and can not only replicate the behavior and mannerisms of other people but also their voices as well. He also can dress instantly on the spot. In Volume 2, he was instigated by Akihisa to mimic Yūji's voice to propose to Shōko during their tournament, confusing her and ultimately setting up the stage for a win for Akihisa-Yūji Team, but this move caused Yūji all manner of problems later on.

His Shōkanjū is clad in Hakama and wields a Naginata. During the ESB field error, his Shōkanjū turns into an adult version of 'himself', but changes gender and wears a dress that parodies Little Red Riding Hood.

On a side note, he had appeared in the top 10 popular characters in Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! for both male and female category in the 2009-2010 listings, having been ranked in first place for the male category two years in a row, while placing tenth place for the female category in the 2009 listing and seventh place the following year.

Kōta Tsuchiya (土屋 康太, Tsuchiya Kōta)

Voiced by: Kōki Miyata (Japanese); Greg Ayres (English)

Kōta Tsuchiya is the ultimate ecchi in Fumizuki. He has a dark taciturn personality, and as such, he's given the nickname Morose Pervert Muttsurīni (ムッツリーニ), implicitly derived from Muttsuri (むっつり) to form a parody for Benito Mussolini (ムッソリーニ). It has been shown in one of the episodes of season one that he sells copies of pictures of the girls and Hideyoshi, with Akihisa being his "Loyal customer". But even though he is very perverted, nobody, even the girls, seem to mind this side of him. While Kōta is uncommunicative by nature, he is part of Class 2-F's inner circle group of Yūji, Akihisa, Mizuki, Minami, and Hideyoshi. He is terrible at all subjects except for Health Education, in which few students, if any, could come close. Because of Kōta's extreme high score in Health Education, partly attributed to his wealth of knowledge of the human anatomy, especially that of females, his Shōkanjū carries an accessory, during battles in Health Education, that allows the Shōkanjū to perform an accelerated move. During Season 2 he is also shown to have achieved a score (774) higher than the Health Education teacher's. In the novel, he is also shown to be an expert in sneaking, gathering information, cunning, and many forms photography, whether it be hidden or not. In the anime, he has a habit of taking panty shots whenever the opportunity arises and to record all the girls' bust sizes in Fumizuki Academy. A running gag is, despite his perverse nature, if he even sees or hears something that might be perverted (such as his panty shots or Aiko's teasing) his nose will spontaneously bleed often ludicrous amounts, sometimes causing him to pass out. Despite being a pervert, he tends to avoid and feels uncomfortable around Aiko and her assertiveness; yet, he will still suffer from massive nosebleeds whenever she sexually teases him though. In the light novels, it's shown that he has two older brothers and a younger sister; regretfully after their appearance, they consume an imitation of Mizuki's cooking and were never seen again, suggesting that they died.

His Shōkanjū wears a ninja outfit and dual-wields Kodachi. During the ESB field error, his Shōkanjū wears a modified hakama and sports a short ponytail.

Ryō Sugawa (須川 亮, Sugawa Ryō)

Voiced by: Keisuke Goto (Japanese); Chris Burnett (English)

Ryō Sugawa is a minor supporting character in Class 2-F. He is the only Class 2-F student outside of the 'inner circle' whose Shōkanjū is described in the novel. He is also the leader of the FFF Inquisition, but ended up on the run during the third episode of the second season. Sugawa is also confident and full of himself; he prides himself for "protecting his first kiss" for sixteen years, and writes help guides on how to be "popular" and "reject girls" like him, despite being a loser unable to get dates himself.

His Shōkanjū wears a martial-arts robe and wields a staff.

FFF Inquisition

A group in Class 2-F who once punished Akihisa for getting attention from the girls, to the extent of 'sentencing him to death'. They also seem to be Hideyoshi's fans. When agitated, like when they learned of Class B's representative having a girlfriend, they would turn into "Messengers of Genocide", using their Shōkanjū as sacrifice, "suicide bombing" their opponents effectively.

Class A

The best class with the best equipment; 24 males and 26 females. The top 10 of Class 2-A are said to be so strong that they are in a league of their own compared to other Class 2-A students.

Shōko Kirishima (霧島 翔子, Kirishima Shōko)

Voiced by: Tomomi Isomura (Japanese); Jamie Marchi (English)

Shōko Kirishima is the childhood friend of Yūji Sakamoto. She is the top student in her level and the class representative for Class 2-A. In the story, she is portrayed as a soft-spoken, but highly assertive and intelligent girl. In the novel, her dialog always starts with ellipses. She is described as elegantly beautiful and very popular, like a typical Yamato Nadeshiko, but yet has no boyfriend, which initially created the impression to others that she is a lesbian. Later, it was revealed that the reason for this is because she is madly in love with Yūji since childhood and acts possessively towards him, to the point of frequently poking his eyes in order to prevent him from seeing other girls' underwear or swimsuits, applying locks and chains while they are together, using a handheld taser if he is being 'unfaithful' to her, and even attempted to submit a marriage certificate to the civil registrar (but fails in the anime, due to them being underage). She has stated to Yūji that she's a 'C-Cup' (bust size in Japan; which is a 'B-Cup' in the US). Despite being tricked multiple times, she still shows a trusting nature towards Yūji and practically believes everything he says, such as the date of the Taika Reform. Shōko is also shown to be someone who is a very long-term thinker, and has already decided on her children's names (Shoyū for a girl, and Koshō for a boy). She is also "hopeless when it comes to gadgets" (機械音痴) and is known to spoil any electronic gadget that falls into her hands, although in the novels she brings one that contains Yūji's supposed voice proposing to her and claims its 'normal music'. While she is a part of Class 2-A, Shōko often hangs around Akihisa's inner circle of Class 2-F, only because she wants to be around Yūji.

Her Shōkanjū is clad in Samurai armor and wields a Japanese longsword. During the ESB field error, her Shōkanjū also becomes an adult version of herself, wearing only an apron and lingerie underneath.

Aiko Kudō (工藤 愛子, Kudō Aiko)

Voiced by: Yoshino Nanjō (Japanese); Trina Nishimura (English)

Aiko Kudō is another elite student in Class 2-A. She is portrayed as a green-haired, friendly, easy-going, and mischievous girl. She uses 'Boku (僕)', commonly used by boys or young men, to address herself. She is extremely skilled in electronic gadgets and carries a micro-recorder for recording lessons, which she also uses to cause mischief to other people by recording, cutting and re-joining parts of their conversations, creating many misunderstandings and woes to others, especially towards Akihisa. She especially likes to mess around with Akihisa and Kōta often stating perverted things to arouse them and cause them to nosebleed. It is highly implied that she likes Kōta due to her messing with him at times.

Her Shōkanjū is clad in a schoolgirl sailor uniform and wields a battle axe.

Toshimitsu Kubo (久保 利光, Kubo Toshimitsu)

Voiced by: Takuma Terashima (Japanese); Joel McDonald (English)

Toshimitsu Kubo is a calm and cool man with glasses and the second-ranked student in his level. He lives in a relatively tight and structured schedule which is reflected in his high grades. However, he easily misinterprets situations and because of this, he thinks that Akihisa was trying to hit on him. As a result, he ends up having a homoerotic crush on him. When it comes to Akihisa, he can be just as crazy as Mizuki and Minami when Akihisa is implied to be involved with other women OR with other men.

His Shōkanjū uses dual scythes.

Yūko Kinoshita (木下 優子, Kinoshita Yūko)

Voiced by: Emiri Katō (Japanese); Brina Palencia (English)

Yuuko Kinoshita is the class ambassador of Class 2-A. She's also the attractive twin sister of Hideyoshi Kinoshita, older of the two by three minutes. Due to their disparity in academic abilities, she feels superior to her younger brother, whom she thinks is trash. Yuuko's is also very prideful, arrogant and easily agitated unlike Hideyoshi who is always calm. During the classroom wars in Volume 1, Hideyoshi, while acting on a strategy of Yūji, masqueraded as his sister and branded the whole of Class 2-C as filthy pigs, sowing discord between Class 2-C and Class 2-A, saving Class 2-F from a potential alliance between Class 2-C and Class 2-B. And the proud Yuuko bears a deep grudge against Hideyoshi and Class F for the incident. In episode three of season two, she forced Hideyoshi to switch roles with her for a day, where she begrudgingly learned that Akihisa finds her brother more feminine and attractive than her. In Episode 12 of the anime, it is revealed her weakness is yaoi manga. However, in the last episode, it is shown that she can be honorable as well, refusing to acknowledge their victory and that it was 'cowardly'. It may be hinted that she, along with Shōko and Aiko are already in Akihisa's inner circle of friends in the school.

Her Shōkanjū uses a jousting lance and wears heavy armor.

Class B

Kyōji Nemoto (根本 恭二, Nemoto Kyōji)

Voiced by: Hiromu Miyazaki (Japanese); Todd Haberkorn (English)

Kyōji Nemoto is the class representative for Class 2-B. He is devious, scheming, and does not hesitate to use underhanded tricks to win (including cheating). He's going out with Yūka Koyama, the class representative for Class 2-C, and which whom he attempted to set up an alliance with during the class war with Class 2-F in Volume 1. This was later foiled by Yūji's contingency plan, and after Kyōji was defeated in the Summoned Being Exam War, he was forced to wear a female school uniform. In the novel, photographs are taken of him, which was used as blackmailing leverage by Yūji. Yūka then discovers the photographs of him wearing the female school uniform and, of course, dumps him instantly. In the anime, photographs aren't taken, instead, Kyōji is forced to keep on wearing the female school uniform throughout the day and on the Mock Summoned Being Battle with Class 2-A, which later Yūka runs into Kyōji wearing it, and quickly dumps him due to believing it is some type of fetish of his.
