Main Characters Let me introduce you to the main characters of "Hanamaru Kindergarten". - Anzu is a kindergartener in the Sakura class. She is in love with her homeroom teacher, Mr. Tsuchida, and is aggressively pursuing him every day. She is best friends with Hiiragi and Koume, who are also in the Sakura class, and Yamamoto-sensei from the Momo class is her love rival. Her dream for the future is to become Mr. Tsuchida's wife.
- A kindergartener in the Hiiragi Sakura class. She loves reading and has a knowledge that rivals adults, but she is quite shy. She reads through women's magazines to help An's love life and gives her precocious advice. She loves to wear mascot costumes and cosplay.
- A kindergartener in the Koume Sakura class. She's not good at talking in front of people she meets for the first time or in front of people she likes, but once she gets comfortable with them, she shows a lovely smile. She listens to what people say and has a pure heart.
- Mr. Tsuchida is the homeroom teacher of the Sakura class, and his nickname is "Tsucchi". He loves games so much that he never puts down his game console even during work. He likes Mr. Yamamoto, and although he actively approaches him, he is struggling because he is not noticed. He is at a loss when he receives a fierce attack from An.
- Teacher Yamamoto is the homeroom teacher for the Momo class. She is always smiling and has a gentle demeanor that puts everyone at ease. She has a gentle personality and can be a bit naive, but she is very considerate of the children. She is extremely insensitive to approaches from men.
- Satsuki Tsuchida-sensei's younger sister. She is a very punctual girl who always criticizes her sloppy brother, but she actually loves him very much. She worries about her brother who lives alone, so she comes to see how he is doing at the kindergarten, but...
- A kindergartener in the Himawari class. After a certain incident, she fell in love with Mr. Tsuchida and traveled all the way to enroll in the kindergarten where Tsuchida teaches. She has a mature tone of speech and mannerisms. She is meant to be a love rival to An for Mr. Tsuchida... or is that right?
- Kusano-sensei is the teacher in charge of the Sunflower class. He loves to exercise and uses his natural enthusiasm to the fullest, even giving the children special training in running. He is drinking buddies with Tsuchida-sensei and Kawashiro-sensei.
- Kawashiro-sensei is the homeroom teacher for the Tulip class. She tends to get a little carried away by the energetic children. She supports Tsuchida-sensei's love while teasing him.
- She is Sakura An 's mother and Tsuchida Sensei's senior in high school. She returned to Japan from the United States where her husband was posted, and is currently living in Japan. She has given the go-ahead for An and Tsuchida Sensei to get married, but it is unclear whether she is serious about it.
- Hanamaru Sensei is a manga artist and the original author of the popular anime series "Pandaneko" which is very popular among kindergarteners. He has a crush on Mayumi and sometimes he can't concentrate on his work because he thinks about her all the time.
- Mayumi Yamamoto-sensei's younger sister. She works part-time in the editorial department of a publishing company. She is attentive and lively, but like her sister, she is a little insensitive to approaches from men.
