  • Keito Aoyama: the heroine of Cat Street who is a former child star. After being betrayed by Nako, she becomes a recluse until the age of sixteen.

Keito also rediscovers her talent for acting and rejoins the industry. She develops feelings for Koichi.
  • Koichi Mine: a technology genius with a high IQ. He began going to El Listen after becoming disinterested in high school. Koichi left home at a young age when he began working freelance as a coder. He also has a stepsister whom cares about him a lot. After meeting Keito, Koichi develops a connection to her. He later starts his own tech company, Cockscomb, which he names after Keito.
  • Rei Saeki: a talented soccer player who stopped playing after an incident with his old team. He becomes Keito's first friend at El Liston. Through coaching Taiyo's team, Rei rediscovers his passion for soccer. He later develops a crush on Keito and they begin dating. Ultimately, Rei senses her real feelings and leaves for Brazil. He then joins a soccer team in England.
  • Momiji Noda: a young girl who becomes Keito's best friend. She was bullied for dressing as a gothic lolita, resulting in her dropping out of high school. Momiji sews all her own clothes. Despite her fashion sense, she usually finds herself attracted to "normal" boys. Momiji is the last of her friends to informally graduate from El Liston. She later works at a boutique selling lolita clothing.
  • Nako Sonoda: Keito's former friend whom betrayed her when they were children performing in Sunny Days. She continues her entertainment career, but finds it stagnating during her teenage years. Nako reconnects with Keito, who inspires her to take her acting in a different direction. When Keito begins acting again, she joins Nako's agency and the two become friendly.
  • Taiyo Harasawa: a former classmate of Keito's. As a child, he had a crush on Keito and tried to talk to her after the traumatic Sunny Days experience. Taiyo and Keito meet again as teenagers. Unknown to him, she develops a crush on him that is crushed when Taiyo begins dating his classmate, Hirano. His dream was to become a professional soccer player, but he later decides to be a teacher instead.
  • Kojima: the principal of El Liston. He went to jail for helping rich people get their children into good universities. After his son's suicide, he realizes the how bad he was before. Kojima then founded El Liston to watch over children whom were not attending high school for whatever reason.
