HARD KOR Cast

Madoka in summer dress, as described in Hard KOR A: Chapter 8

Shin Madoka:One of the sexiest, alluring figures around the Shin Kor world. She emerged from her troubles as an adolescent delinquent to be come one of the most cherished figures in Anime. She is the ultimate superwoman with fantastic abilities yet untold. She's one cool chic who has it all: a budding songwriting career, a nice house and car, and an engagement to the man she loves: Kasuga Kyosuke. What else could she want more? Yet there is still something missing in her life? What could it be?

Shin Hikaru Hiyama: The idealist and optimist who pins her hopes on a shooting star in her dreams of making it big as a dancer on Broadway. Generally scorned at in the old series for her loud ways and her interference of Kyosuke and Ayukawa's relationship, she has blossomed and matured, enduring through those cold, hard years of living in New York. The main protagonist in the Shin KOR novels, we follow her travels through countless audtions and rehearsals and hope for the best for her. But the one thing that's still haunts her is her unremitted love for Kyosuke -- the one person she still can't get over and the one she can't have, or can she?

Nagasi: One of the roughest, toughest bitches you'll ever encounter. She takes no lip from anyone, even from Ryusei. Wild, volatile, and unpredictable are her main traits. Mix that in with a touch of seduction and S&M and you've got trouble! Was Ryusei's administrative assistant, and now is the director of the play. Like Ryusei, a very mysterious figure whose origins are unknown. Has a strange, uncanny resemblance to Madoka. You might say this is what Madoka could have turned out had she not been reformed by Kasuga.

Shin Kasuga Kyosuke: A new look for a new man. Despite having Madoka all to himself, he still has yet to shake off his ecchi, perverted tendencies. A budding photographer, he has aspirations of being an investigative journalist. But will the nightmare of his experience in Bosnia continue to haunt him?

Ryu-sei Haroken: The mysterious new figure in the HARD KOR series. A virtual unknown out of nowhere suddenly becomes an intricate part of Hikaru's dance career. An eccentric man who prefers solitude and power, he has a hand in all the HardKor events. Noted for wearing his trademark sunglasses and sporting a beard and mustache. Yet is there more than meets the eye with him? Is there something he is hiding from everyone? What is his dark secret, if any...

Kurumi and Manami Kasuga: These devilishly cute, hip twins have manage to transend to the Hard KOR series. Attending college has only made them even cooler. However, will their involvment with the mysterious "number" boys lead them into a more dangerous game?
