In "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom," in addition to the protagonist, who is from another world, various races such as humans, beastmen, and elves coexist. Those who excel in military power, those who are good at singing, those with special abilities that ordinary humans do not have... As chosen by a realist hero, those who serve the kingdom are not discriminated against, regardless of gender or status. Even children can be entrusted with important positions if they have talent. In addition, there are many attractive characters among the opposing forces. This time, we will introduce some of the characters who are greatly involved in the story.
Soma Kazuya
The protagonist of this work, a young man who has been transferred to another world. Immediately after graduating from high school and passing the university entrance exam, he was summoned to the Kingdom of Elfrieden as a "hero", and then he was selected as king by chance... Rather than fighting at the forefront, he has a talent for improving the country through domestic affairs, and is dedicated to solving domestic problems such as infrastructure and food shortages.
Rishia Elfrieden
The main heroine of this work and Soma's fiancee. At first, she thought that her father had been forcibly taken from the throne of king, and she was suspicious of Soma, but after spending a little time with him, she showed her charm. Army General Georg Carmine is also a sword master, and despite being a princess, she has outstanding military talent, fighting on the front lines.
Aisha Udgard
One of the five people who gathered in Soma's recruitment. She was the daughter of the chief of the dark elves who live in the Forest of Divine Protection, but she was hired by Soma because of her martial arts talent. She basically acts as Soma's guard, but sometimes acts with Rishia on the battlefield as her guard. Although she can use wind magic, her fighting style is mainly a power type that hits enemies with a great sword. Although she is not very smart, she has a sharp intuition, and is a surprisingly considerate character, such as pretending to be asleep when Soma and Rishia are in a good mood.
Juna Doma
One of the five people who gathered for Soma's talent recruitment. She was selected as a talent with attractive singing voice, dancing, and beauty. She usually works as a singer at the singing cafe "Lorelei", but her true identity is "Canaria", the leader of the special forces "Marine Corps" sent by Navy Admiral Excel. Juna is also Excel's granddaughter. However, she is not an enemy of Soma, but rather she is attracted to his personality and wants to be by his side, which Excel seems to be happy about. Although she is a member of the navy, she is skilled in landing battles and surprise attacks, and during operations she dresses like a ninja, unlike her usual flashy outfit.
Hakuya Kuonmin
One of the five people who gathered for Soma's recruitment. She has a remarkable talent for law, and the Prime Minister becomes her tutor, but she has nothing to teach him, so she immediately takes over as the Prime Minister and later becomes Soma's aide under the nickname "Prime Minister in Black". Even after serving Soma, she never shows any humility, and sometimes hits him on the head with a paper fan.
Tomoe Inui
One of the five people who gathered for Soma's recruitment. A girl from the wolf tribe, she is hired by Soma because of her talent to talk to animals. However, it was discovered that she had actually spoken to not only animals but also monsters, and she was taken into custody within the castle as one of the most important people in the country. However, since it would be suspicious for an ordinary person other than the royal family to live in the castle, Tomoe was adopted by the former king and queen (which made her Rishia's younger sister). By the way, Soma and Rishia are still engaged, not officially married, but he has Tomoe call him "Brother Soma".
Poncho Panacotta
One of the five people who gathered for Soma's recruitment. He loves to eat, so much so that he has spent all his money to travel the world and try almost everything he can. He was mocked by others for being greedy, but Soma welcomed him warmly and even gave him a surname, Ishizuka. After he began serving Soma, he recreated the dishes he had eaten all over the world and became a key figure in saving the country from food shortages. Later, Poncho's exploits were told as the "Cinderella story of a man who turned his life around in one fell swoop."
Georg Carmine
A beastman who is one of the Three Lords and a general in the army. He is a veteran general who has served the country since the time of the previous king, and was especially close friends with the previous king. He was superior to Rishia, who was a member of the army, but he loved her like a daughter. In the main story, he appears as the central figure in the rebellion, but in fact, all of his actions were for the sake of the country, and he sacrificed himself to carry out a plan to eliminate all corrupt nobles at once. In the end, it seemed that he drew the curtain with the hope of a new era created by young people, but...
Castor Vargas
One of the three princes, he is an air force general. Although he looks like a young man, he is a half-dragon warrior who has been fighting for over 100 years. About 50 years ago, she wooed Admiral Excel, and then married Excel's daughter, so she seems to be unable to look down on her stepmother Excel. However, she has a strong sense of duty and humanity, and even though Excel tried to persuade her, she fought against the royal army on the side of Georg, whom she trusted until the end.
Excel Walter
One of the Three Dukes and an admiral of the navy. Although she looks like a beautiful woman in her 20s, the Jiaolong tribe is a long-lived race, and was born before the founding of the kingdom, and has lived for over 500 years. Since he has had many passionate love affairs over the past 500 years, he seems to have many descendants, including children and grandchildren, including Juna. He treats even elderly people like children, and even says that marines and former marines are all like children no matter how successful they are, so he cannot look Excel in the eye, not only for Castor but also for human lords.
Carla Vargas
A half-dragon girl who is Castor's daughter. She is close friends with Rishia, and after Castor was defeated, Rishia herself wanted to take her as a concubine in order to save Carla, who rebelled. She inherited her father's personality and is stubborn, and once she says something, she will definitely do it. Even Castor has given up on the idea, saying that there is nothing he can do. He is the second most powerful member of the air force after Castor, and fought alongside Soma in the battle against Georg.
Ludwin Arx
A powerful man who is appointed as the commander of the Royal Guard at a young age in the Imperial Guard, a member of the King's direct imperial army. He may look a bit gentle, but his valor is first-rate and he is the type of brave person who leads the army at the forefront. He is also an excellent commander, and the army led by Ludwin is perfectly organized, and in the battle at the fortress, he quickly pushed through the enemy's three main "cannons" and destroyed them in an instant.
Halberd Magna
Formerly in the army, he was later transferred to the Imperial Army. He will play an active role as an adjutant to his childhood friend Kaede, who has become a staff officer. He is about the same age as Soma, and Soma tells him to speak to him in a casual manner, and they become like friends. In one word, his personality is simple-minded. For better or worse, he is too honest, and at first he sometimes said bad things about Soma. However, since she began to trust Soma, she has become a strong ally. She is skilled in using fire-based magic and imbuing her spear with flames and using it as a throwing javelin, but even in close-range combat, she has power that surpasses that of ordinary people, such as splitting a body in half along with its armor.
Kaede Foxia
A fox girl and childhood friend of Halbert. She served as a magician for the Imperial Guard, but Soma recognized her excellent insight and made her an advisor under Hakuya. Hakuya rarely appears on-site, so Kaede is essentially in a position similar to that of a site supervisor. He has excellent abilities as an earth magician, specializing in defensive magic, and can also use gravity magic to carry multiple heavy loads at once.
Gaius Amidonia VIII
The Duke of Amidonia. He is probably the biggest enemy in the anime, and is driven by his hatred for the kingdom. Although his appearance and personality make him seem like a rough, muscle-brained character, he is actually a skillful type who fights using various magic and armor. He is terrible at domestic affairs, but in single-handed battles he demonstrates abilities that are equal to or even superior to the three Dukes.
Roroa Amidonia
Georg's daughter and the first princess of the Amidonia Principality. Unlike her father and brother, she prioritizes the economy over war and is the type who thinks with her head rather than her emotions before acting. She has a similar way of thinking to Soma, and is one of the few characters who understands his way of thinking. Before the war was lost, she disappeared with a few subordinates, and after the war, she began to move to make Soma take "responsibility".
