Tatsuya Uesugi
The elder of the Uesugi twins. Seemingly selfish and lazy, Tatsuya's main quality is his altruistic nature. Naturally athletic, he lets his younger brother progress further than him in baseball so Meisei would win the Koushien fulfilling their childhood dream. Like Kazuya, he loves Minami Asakura, the girl next door and their childhood friend. However, in the field of love he too cedes to his younger brother, telling everyone that they are meant to be despite his broken heart.

Kazuya Uesugi
The younger of the Uesugi twins. Serious and hard working, he is the complete opposite of his older brother. His pitching skills and perfect grades makes him the favorite of his parents who despite his young age, conspire to get him and Minami to marry. His good looks makes him popular with the girls at school, which irks Tatsuya. Unlike the naturally athletic Tatsuya, Kazuya had to work hard to hone his skills since an early age. Like his brother, Kazuya is in love with Minami. He hopes to take her to the Koushien and win, fulfilling their dream.

Minami Asakura
The Uesugi twins' neighbour and childhood friend. An intelligent and active student who has to help her father with house chores and at the family coffee shop since her mother died at a young age. Minami is a pretty girl who is popular at school and the object of desire for both the Uesugi twins. Although her widower father and mr. and mrs. Uesugi often pair Minami and Kazuya to be married, her heart truly lies on Tatsuya as seen through subtle hints. Despite of that, she is more often seen with Kazuya and actively supports him on the road to the Koushien which makes everyone think that Minami is actually in love with Kazuya, the star pitcher.
