Sailor Moon follows Usagi Tsukino, a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl in Tokyo who cries easily and would rather sleep in, until a talking black cat named Luna tells her she is a Sailor Guardian. As Sailor Moon she gathers a team of girls who each draw power from a planet, and together they fight monsters that steal human energy. The cast grows in layers: the five inner Guardians, their cat advisers, Tuxedo Mask, the outer Guardians who arrive in later seasons, and a new villain group each season. This page covers 16 characters from the classic 1990s anime, described the way they first appear, so the twists stay unspoiled.
Usagi Tsukino is the heroine: a clumsy, warm-hearted fourteen-year-old who loves sweets, games and naps, and cries when things go wrong. Luna gives her a brooch that turns her into Sailor Moon, the Guardian of love and justice, and she slowly grows into the team's leader. Her kindness toward everyone, enemies included, is her real strength. Japanese voice: Kotono Mitsuishi.
Ami Mizuno is a quiet, bookish girl in Usagi's class, rumoured to have an IQ of 300. As Sailor Mercury, the Guardian of water and wisdom, she uses fog attacks and a small computer to study enemies and find their weak points. Shy at first, she warms up quickly to her new friends. Japanese voice: Aya Hisakawa; first Brazilian dub: Gilmara Sanches.
Rei Hino is a shrine maiden at her family's Shinto shrine who can sense evil and drive it off with paper charms. She becomes Sailor Mars, the Guardian of fire and passion. Serious and sharp-tongued, she bickers with Usagi about her laziness, but the two care for each other more than they admit. Japanese voice: Michie Tomizawa.
Makoto Kino is a tall transfer student who looks tough and is known for winning fights, yet she lives on her own and loves cooking, baking and gardening. As Sailor Jupiter, the Guardian of thunder and courage, she hits the hardest in close combat and calls down lightning. She is fiercely protective of her friends. Japanese voice: Emi Shinohara.
Minako Aino was already fighting evil as the masked heroine Sailor V before she joined the team, guided by the white cat Artemis. As Sailor Venus, the Guardian of love and beauty, she leads the inner Guardians in battle. Off duty she is bubbly, chases boys and dreams of becoming a famous singer. Japanese voice: Rika Fukami.
Mamoru Chiba is an older student who keeps crossing paths with Usagi and teasing her. He lost his memories in a childhood accident that also took his parents, and he shares a strange bond with Usagi that lets him sense when she is in danger. In a tuxedo, top hat and mask, he appears as Tuxedo Mask to help the Guardians. Japanese voice: Toru Furuya.
Chibiusa is a small pink-haired girl who suddenly drops into Usagi's life in the second season, carrying a mystery and pursued by enemies. She shares Usagi's hairstyle and stubbornness, and the two squabble like sisters. Over time she trains to become a Guardian herself, Sailor Chibi Moon. In the classic Brazilian dub she is called Rini. Japanese voice: Kae Araki.
Haruka Tenoh is a confident, boyish athlete who dreams of racing cars and drives brilliantly. She appears in the third season as Sailor Uranus, the Guardian of the sky, working only with her partner Michiru. She distrusts outside help and follows her own mission, so at first she and the inner Guardians do not see eye to eye. Japanese voice: Megumi Ogata.
Michiru Kaioh is an elegant violinist and painter who carries herself with calm grace. As Sailor Neptune, the Guardian of the ocean, she fights beside Haruka and trusts her intuition, helped by a mirror talisman. Like Haruka, she puts their mission first and keeps the younger Guardians at a distance at the start. Japanese voice: Masako Katsuki.
Luna is a black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead who can talk. She was sent to Earth to find the Guardians and the princess they must protect. She gives Usagi her first brooch, hands out gadgets and gives advice nobody asked for, which often annoys Usagi. In the classic Brazilian version her name became Lua. Japanese voice: Keiko Han.
Artemis is a white cat with the same crescent mark as Luna, and the partner who trained Minako to be Sailor V. He secretly passed messages to Usagi through the Sailor V arcade game before showing himself. He is more relaxed and easygoing than Luna, and the two cats often work as a team. Japanese voice: Yasuhiro Takato.
Setsuna Meioh is a stern, mysterious woman who guards the door of space and time and stops anyone from crossing it without permission. She first appears in that role as Sailor Pluto, and later lives on Earth as a college student who helps the Guardians when she can. She rarely says more than she must. Japanese voice: Chiyoko Kawashima.
Hotaru Tomoe is a gentle, lonely girl introduced in the third season. A laboratory accident in her childhood left her in fragile health, and other children tend to avoid her. She has an unusual power to heal small wounds with her hands. Her quiet friendship with the Guardians' circle becomes a key thread of that season. Japanese voice: Yūko Minaguchi.
Seiya Kou is the lead singer of the Three Lights, a popular idol band that transfers to Usagi's school in the fifth season. Cocky, sporty and flirtatious, he takes a liking to Usagi and calls her Odango. The Three Lights are searching for someone important to them through their songs. Japanese voice: Shiho Niiyama.
Naru Osaka is Usagi's best friend at school and the daughter of a jewellery shop owner. She and her mother are caught in the very first monster attack, and after Sailor Moon saves them Naru becomes one of her biggest fans. She is loyal and kind, and she often drags Usagi into everyday adventures. Japanese voice: Shino Kakinuma.
Queen Beryl rules the Dark Kingdom, the first enemy group. From her throne she sends her generals and their monsters to drain human energy for a greater evil and to hunt for the legendary Silver Crystal. Cold and proud, she punishes failure harshly, which keeps her generals competing against each other. Japanese voice: Keiko Han, who also voices Luna.
