Takagi, portrayed by Rie Takahashi in Japanese and Sarah Wiedenheft (seasons 1 and 3) and Kayli Mills (season 2) in English, is depicted as a mischievous girl who takes pleasure in teasing Nishikata. Despite initially claiming that she doesn’t have any romantic feelings for him, subtle hints throughout the series suggest otherwise.Nishikata, voiced by Yuki Kaji in Japanese and Aaron Dismuke (seasons 1 and 3) and Billy Kametz (season 2) in English, is Takagi’s seatmate and the constant target of her teasing. While he often schemes to get back at Takagi, his plans are usually foiled due to her keen insight and quick thinking.
