Main Characters
Axis Powers
Italy (イタリア Itaria) - Voiced by Daisuke Namikawa in Japanese and Todd Haberkorn in English. As a child he is voiced by Aki Kanada in Japanese and Brina Palencia in English.
The title character of the series. He is an energetic and friendly yet clumsy young man, who also happens to be rather cowardly and obsessed with pasta. He is the grandson of Ancient Rome who was once the strongest nation in the world, as well the younger brother of Romano (South Italy). When in trouble, he often cries for Germany's help or insists on surrendering. Though he is bad at fighting, his creativity in art and trade is strong, and he is also a very good cook. The strange hair curl on the left side of his head acts as an erogenous zone for him when pulled.
Germany (ドイツ Doitsu)- Voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto in Japanese and Patrick Seitz in English.
A strict and rule-abiding soldier type, Germany was the one to discover Italy hiding in the crate of tomatoes in the middle of WWI (originally oranges in the webcomic version) when they were enemies. He later became allies with Italy, the two growing closer despite their differences. Due to his tendency to over-rely on manuals for orderliness, he finds himself running into trouble whenever there's a misunderstanding. He has a secret passion for baking cake and making sweets and is also suggested to be a closet pervert.
Japan (日本 Nihon, Nippon)- Voiced by Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese and Christopher Bevins in English. As a child he is voiced by Ai Iwamura in Japanese and Alexis Tipton in English.
The third and final major member of the Axis Powers, recruited by Germany. He is mysterious and quiet, as well as hard-working. Though he looks to be the youngest of the main three, he is in fact the oldest and acts accordingly with the behavior of an old man. He answers "No" in ambiguous and indirect ways, and he is rarely shown to be volatile in the series, though it is said that if enough pressure builds up, he can become very "scary" in his rage. His hobby is to read the atmosphere, assess situations, and act carefully. He has a weakness for 2D erotica and geek culture, as well as small animals.
Allied Powers
America (アメリカ Amerika)- Voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi in Japanese and Eric Vale in English. As a child he is voiced by Ai Iwamura in Japanese and Luci Christian in English.
A loud, energetic type of man who occasionally intrudes upon other people's business. He is obsessed with superheroes and hamburgers, and thinks nothing of eating strangely-colored candies and cakes (which disturbs Japan). He has a strange phobia of ghosts, but is friends with an alien, Tony, who lives with him. He is the youngest of the Allied Forces in human and nation age, and their self-declared leader in the WWII strips that make up the main storyline. The strange crescent-shaped lock of hair on his head represents Nantucket, while his glasses are Texas.
United Kingdom / England (イギリス Igirisu)- Voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama in Japanese and Scott Freeman, Taliesin Jaffe, and Steven Kelly in English.
The cynical, foul-mouthed, estranged mentor figure to America. He used to be a pirate before he settled down into his "gentleman" role. His most noticeable physical features are his thick eyebrows. England is also well-versed in black magic and can see mythical creatures that others can't, which causes the other nations to think of them as his hallucinations. He has a bad relationship with France, which has stemmed as far back as their childhood years.
Though he is technically the United Kingdom (as evidenced by his flag), he is often referred to as simply England in most translations (though merchandise refers to him as UK, due to the Japanese word Igirisu being used for both terms). Himaruya has confirmed that he represents both the UK and England, he is officially known as the UK to other nations, with the exception of his brothers (identified as Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland).
France (フランス Furansu)- Voiced by Masaya Onosaka in Japanese and J. Michael Tatum in English.
Proud and dangerously affectionate, France has been involved in a strong rivalry with England for the longest time. He can often be seen making inappropriate advances on others or streaking, and is said to fall in love with anything that is beautiful, even if it is not human. France is very proud of his art and culture, to the point where he is stubborn to learn languages other than his own. He considers himself to be a "big brother", and grew his beard to look more like one.
Russia (ロシア Roshia)- Voiced by Yasuhiro Takato in Japanese and Jerry Jewell in English.
A large, intimidating nation with a simplistic and easygoing personality, yet has the cruelty of a child deep down. Russia has mentally cracked from his history of war and bloodshed, however, he is unaware of his own aforementioned cruel tendencies. His greatest dream is apparently to eventually live in a warm place with sunflowers. During WWII, he had many other nations living under him as the Soviet Union, including the Baltics and his two sisters. He considers vodka to be his fuel, and is almost always shown wearing the scarf that his older sister Ukraine gave him.
China (中国 Chūgoku)- Voiced by Yuki Kaida in Japanese and Clarine Harp in English.
A young-looking hermit that is one of the oldest apparent nations in the series (out of the main cast), and the self-proclaimed eldest "brother" to the other Asian characters, though Japan does not think of him as one in turn. He has an easy-going demeanor, and has a fondness for food and cute things, though the characters he creates are often bootlegged versions of other countries' ones (such as Hello Kitty and Disney mascots). It also appears that China is very wary of Russia.
In the original Japanese version, he has a tendency to end his sentences with the "-aru" suffix, a trait that Japanese people tend to stereotypically associate with Chinese accents.

The adoptive younger sister of Switzerland, who once lived a difficult life after WWI ended and she was left in a crisis.

Luxembourg (ルクセンブルク Rukusenburuku)- Voiced by Taku Yashiro in Japanese.
The younger brother of Netherlands and Belgium who exudes elegance. He has a friendly personality, and speaks in a very polite and proper manner.

Despite his departure, he still remains friendly with Sealand.
Sealand (シーランド Shīrando) - Voiced by Ai Orikasa in Japanese and Maxey Whitehead in English.
