Characters

(Evil Ongo)
- The spirit of wood and destruction. Thousands of years ago,he was engaged to the water spirit Rongo, but then the evil inside of him awakened. He then went on a vicious rampage of destruction in the heart of New Guinea, only to be stopped by the beautiful flower spirit Mii, who sacrificed herself to imprison him. In 2009 Fuyuhiko Rokudo, an archaeologist unknowingly brought his statuette prison back to Japan as a gift for his daughter, Natsumi.
- Upon his release Ongo was revealed to be a little pygmy and he began to cause all sorts of mischief. Later he became the destroyer again,but Mii defeated him by comforting him with her breasts.
- Ongo's powers include being able to summon anything through wood, and as the destroyer he can fire bolts of energy out of his mouth, and extend his claws into long blades.
Stevie Bloch (Little Rongo)
- Ahem's daughter, the water spirit. Centuries ago she was engaged to Ongo until he became evil and they were split up. Then in the present day, Rongo spotted Ongo in Tokyo with Mii. Believing Mii had taken Ongo for herself, Rongo took over the body of Natsumi's friend, Nami, and tried to remove her skull necklace only to receive an electric shock.
- Upon doing a dance, Rongo revealed herself and attacked Natsumi with water. Ongo appeared from Natsumi's earring and claimed that he didn't remember her. Rongo then challenged Natsumi to a duel and, after almost shooting a fighter jet down with jets of water, Mii tried to pull Rongo down, but due to Ongo's interference, Rongo was transformed into a smaller version of herself. Only then did Ongo remember her. Having lost her powers, Rongo requested to stay with Natsumi.
- When Ongo became evil and giant again, Rongo assisted Mii in stopping him. Rongo's powers include being able to control all forms of water.
- Natsumi's newest friend, a shy soft-spoken and strange girl, Nami is into things like magic and UFOs. Her dream is to obtain New Guinean magic and take over the world. When Natsumi takes Nami to the museum to look at the artifacts her dad brought back, Nami gets possessed by Rongo - who thinks Natsumi has stolen Ongo from her. Rongo soon was defeated though and gives Nami back, but the two can still bond together when Nami does her own dance of transformation.
- The spirit of earth, and Mii's ex-husband. When Natsumi inadvertently breaks the seal of Ongo's prison, Ahem appears to her in a dream and gives her Mii's necklace. He then demonstrates a perverted dance which he says will protect Natsumi in times of danger. This dance in fact unleashes the spirit of Mii, and gives Natsumi all of her powers. When Ongo became evil again, Ahem destroyed the evil spirit inside him.
- Ahem's powers seem to be the ability do destroy evil with his spear, and to enlarge the spear into a pole.
- One of Natsumi's friends, although she hangs out with him a lot, she is disgusted with his perverted attitude. This gets worse when Mii shows up and he becomes infatuated with her. He also has frequent conflicts with his dad, whom he insults for serving peas (which he hates) with whale meat.
- Natsumi's dad, who's an archaeologist. He brought back the statuette from New Guinea with the two gems that had Ongo trapped in them. Natsumi is upset that he still treats her like a little girl, instead of a young woman.
- Natsumi's mother, who's a very devoted housewife.
- The grade's class president and a classmate of Natsumi and Takuma, who is freaked out by all the weird occurrences that have been going on.
- Takuma's dad,he owns an antique shop. He wishes his son would treat him with more respect as they fight constantly, such over the serving of whale meat (which is a rarity) with peas (which his son hates).
