"All I Need is a Little Sister" is an anime based on a light novel published by Gagaga Bunko (Shogakukan). This work is centered around the main character, Hashima Itsuki, a light novel writer who loves his little sister, and other light novel writers and friends who enjoy their daily lives in a fun and interesting way. Although Itsuki says he loves his little sister, he doesn't actually have one. He is a pervert who has ideal little sisters in his mind that start to act out of control, and this is reflected in his real-life values and writing activities. The novels and figures he collects are all about little sister characters, and even though Itsuki is surrounded by attractive beautiful girls, he is a strong man who places more importance on the image of his little sister in his mind. Here we will introduce the famous supporting characters from "All I Need is a Little Sister".

When it comes to the great supporting characters in All You Need Is a Little Sister, the first person that comes to mind is undoubtedly Toki Kenjiro, Izuki's editor. Toki is an editor at the GF Bunko editorial department, and is a fearsome editor who is constantly watching Izuki, who often misses deadlines. Izuki has a rebellious personality and takes a rebellious attitude towards Toki's management, but Toki often forces Izuki to work, and is a very overbearing person.

He looks like a typical office worker, but perhaps because he is a light novel editor, his personality is extreme like a manga character, and he often makes threatening remarks and acts to get Izuki to work. He seems like a serious character, but when he drinks he becomes a complete drunkard, and Izuki says that Toki is a sex worker. He doesn't see anything wrong with sex work, so his real-life satisfaction is probably low.

Toki Kenjiro is a hard worker, so he often gets angry at Izuki for not doing much work. Also, Izuki's friend and professional illustrator Ena Setsuna, also known as "Puriketsu Sensei," is even more likely to neglect her work than Izuki, but Toki is a proactive character who pursued Setsuna all the way to Hokkaido in the middle of winter and had Setsuna draw an illustration for him.

Toki is a dangerous person who will do anything to make the writer meet the deadline, and may even commit crimes if he is not careful. Specifically, he does some kind of tampering with Izuki's cell phone to keep track of where Izuki is at all times, and attaches a transmitter to Izuki's clothes to keep track of his location, and does some pretty dangerous things. Toki wants to make Izuki meet the deadline even if it means becoming a criminal himself, but he has high hopes for Izuki's talent and future.

Izuki, who is pushed to the very last minute of the deadline, plans to run away, but Toki catches him and imprisons him in the basement, where there is no cell phone reception. Moreover, the toilet is a sealed room made of cardboard, and it is a dark place that has left the painful scars of other writers who have been imprisoned in the past. Furthermore, Toki does not seem to be sorry at all, and leaves with an attitude that seems to say that it is the writer's fault for not writing. Such an editor is too scary.

Toki seems like the number one character you don't want to have an editor like this, but he seems to be very nervous when Izuki's novel is released, expressing that he is a fan of Izuki. And when it was decided that Izuki's novel would be made into an anime, I told her the harsh reality that it was a story that came to be because other slots were rejected, but we were happy together.

Ena Setsuna... His pen name is "Puriketsu", and as his pen name suggests, he is an extreme butt fetishist, and is a perverted illustrator who is willing to sacrifice everything else for butts. However, his skills as an illustrator are acknowledged by both himself and others, and although he is only 16 years old, he is already famous as an illustrator, and Izuki refuses to work with him, saying that his novels do not meet the level of Setsuna's illustrations.

Although Setsuna is a genius illustrator, he is a frivolous guy who likes unnatural hair color and flashy fashion, and always shows up at Izuki's with a casual greeting like "Yees!". He is so optimistic that he can be called stupid, and is a free spirit who values fun and mood more than illustration deadlines. Well, maybe that's why she can draw such good illustrations...

Setsuna's personality can be summed up in one word: he's a very whimsical and spontaneous character who thinks about almost nothing except illustrations and butts. His actions are VIP-like, and he takes Izuki to Hokkaido in the middle of winter that same day just because he wants to eat salmon roe, and then he puts off eating salmon roe because he thinks the ramen is good... he's a character whose actions are flawed.

Furthermore, when he went to Hokkaido, it seems that he was actually in a tight deadline for his illustrations, but he didn't talk about the illustrations at all and just enjoyed Hokkaido. Even when Izuki was about to go home, he was a super strong guy who invited him to enjoy Hokkaido with him for another week. Also, in the cold winter in Sapporo, she searched for a hotel she had booked based on her intuition, but in reality, she was heading in a completely different direction, which irritated Izuki.

Setsuna, who is good friends with Izuki, reserves a mixed-gender inn to stay at in order to conduct research on butts. Izuki is nervous about opening the forbidden door, but when he gets there, he finds the bathroom, which is like a hellish scene, with only old ladies. Izuki freezes up in the opposite sense, but Setsuna joins the group of old ladies as if to say, "What's wrong?" and becomes popular. For Setsuna, a butt is a butt, and age doesn't seem to matter.

Setsuna happened to be passing by and saw the ass of Chihiro, Izuki's younger brother (actually his sister), and decided that she had a "once in a millennium godly ass." Show me your ass right away! He begs her, but of course, Chihiro refuses. But Setsuna refuses to give up, and he forcefully takes off Chihiro's pants and commits indecent acts in the street. Chihiro stops Setsuna's sexual harassment with a powerful blow, but if the police had happened to be there at that time, Setsuna would have been arrested for sure.

Perhaps they get along well as perverts, but Setsuna understands Izuki's little sister fetish quite well, and so Setsuna's little sister illustrations really capture Izuki's heart. For this reason, he understands Izuki's insistence that his sister should be completely naked, and when he saw a manga by Mikuniyama Kaiko, who has an underwear fetish and would never let his sister be completely naked, he declared war, saying, "I can't leave it to a guy like that!" He and Mikuniyama had a manga battle.
[All I Need is a Little Sister. 】Kani Nayuta's editor "Yamagata Kirara"

Yamagata Kirara is the editor in charge of Kani Nayuta, the heroine of All You Need Is a Little Sister. Although she appears only a few times in the story, she is a cool and interesting female character. Although things don't seem to be going well with Kani, who keeps breaking deadlines, Kani's manuscripts themselves are perfect, so in that sense it doesn't seem like there are any problems. Although he is the editor in charge, he also said that he is a fan of Kani Nayuta, and he answered with a smile that even though there are difficulties, he has never wanted to quit his job as the editor in charge, where he gets to see Kani's work first.
【If Only My Little Sister Can Make It】If there is a second season, more characters will likely appear!

The main characters of "Imouto Sae Ireba" were of course attractive, but the supporting characters also made the story more exciting, so I'd like to see more of them. As of 2018, the anime "Imouto Sae Ireba" has a high reputation and seems to be quite popular among teenage boys and girls. I don't know if there will be a second season of the anime, but since there are many attractive characters in "Imouto Sae Ireba", I would like to see more characters appear in the second season.
