Hajime Hinata is a tall, man with notably toned arms and a solid, well-built chest. He has green eyes with straight lines running across his pupils, resembling a prohobition symbol, as well as short, somewhat spiky brown hair with an ahoge that moves according to his emotions. Hajime is a pragmatic, blunt, and highly logical realist who is deeply insecure about his own lack of talent. Driven by a desperate yearning to be special, he conceals his self-doubt under a sharp, sarcastic, and no-nonsense exterior, while genuinely caring for his friends.

Nagito Komaeda is a tall, skinny man with notably wide shoulders, sickly pale skin and light gray-green eyes with thick eyelashes. His hair is shoulder-length and naturally wavy, of an unnaturally pale pinkish off-white color that fades to white the closer to his scalp. He often appears unusually carefree and pessimistic; he lacks tact and occasionally says awkward, strange, and unsettling things without realizing it. He has a lot of mental and physical issues, and gets sick easily.
