PS. The photos goes as anime-ova-manga...
Shuichi Shindou...
Shuichi is the protagonist of Gravitation. He's the lead singer of an upcoming band entitled Bad Luck. Shuichi has the strangest personality. He's optimistic and extremely hyper. He's a fun loving boy that almost always has a smile on his face. Besides the fact that he practically ruins every serious scene with some sort of insanity, he's got a lot of depth. Shuichi cares about the people around him more than anything. Without his best friend, Hiro, and the one he loves, he feels that he can't survive.
Shuichi loves what he does. Ever since he was a little kid he wanted to become a singer just like his idol, Ryuichi of Nittle Grasper. Bit by bit his life is coming together. And then one night, Shuichi's life did a 180. Shuichi met a man named Yuki that night. Yuki was cold and his comments hurt Shuichi, but left a lasting impression on him at the same time. Shuichi soon found himself attracted to Yuki and Shuichi himself couldn't explain it.
He's a big fan of YMO, TM [Revolution?], B'z, Electric Groove, and B-2 Dept. He's a very energetic guy. His favorite food is strawberry Pocky.
This techno-boy can do all the song-making, writing, arranging, and vocals. He also devotes himself to singing on TV. From a chance encounter with Eiri, this person of greatness, who does things that might drive him mad. Even a bullet penetrating his head couldn't kill him. A strong, healthy and superior child. He’s 19 years old who was born on April 16 has a height of 165cm and a weight of 51 kg; his blood type is A.
Eiri Yuki...
Yuki is literally Shuichi's exact opposite. While Shuichi is always acting goofy and smiling, Yuki has a cold personality and shows very little emotion at all. But like the rest of the cast, there's more to Yuki than meets the eye.
Yuki is a famous award winning novelist. Girls all over Japan are in love with him and find him gorgeous. But Shuichi is different from all of them. Shuichi is the only person is Yuki's life, besides Tohma and maybe his sister, who truly care about him. And Shuichi is the only one that has even come close to thawing Yuki's heart of ice.
Once, Yuki used to be just like Shuichi, but Yuki had an extremely hard childhood which continuously comes back to haunt him. And Yuki isn't sure how to react to Shuichi. Shuichi even invites himself to live with Yuki without asking him first. Yuki must sort out his feelings and confront his past, or else the waters of the future He also likes Chocolate puffs with milk, shortcake and sleeping. He’s 22 years old blood type AB. He’s born on February 23 and has a height of 186 cm and a weight of 74 kg.
Hiroshi Nakano...
Hiro has been Shuichi's best friend since they were little kids. Hiro can read Shuichi like a book and knows what's going on even before Shuichi does. Hiro is also the guitarist in Bad Luck and with Shuichi has dreams to surpass Nittle Grasper. But like every other character in Gravitation, Hiro is a lot more than a pretty face.
Hiro has an extremely strong personality and is very determined. He attempts to keep a clear head and stand up for what he believes in. He is also always there for Shuichi. He's the greatest friend Shuichi could ever have asked for. He looks after Shuichi and encourages him to follow his heart and do the right thing. Whenever Shuichi is floating up in the clouds or is depressed about something, it's Hiro that brings him back to his senses. And when Hiro realizes that there is nothing more he can do, Hiro goes to Yuki - all to help his friend.
Hiro falls in love with Yuki's fiancée, Ayaka, and believes he doesn't have a chance. But slowly Hiro's luck changed. As a key member of Bad Luck, and Shuichi's best friend, Hiro plays an important role in this series.
nbsp; He is also graduating from the same high school as Shuichi,and was expected to go on to the university medical facility as an honor student. Before the university entrance exams, at one point he had decided to give up playing guitar in the band. Together with Shuichi, they chose to keep Bad Luck going. His favourites are Caramel Corn, Yakinuki (Korean Barbecue). His nickname is “Hiro”. He’s born on August 4 and his blood type is B. He’s 19 years old and has a height of 178 cm and a weight of 62 kg.
Suguru Fujisaki...
Suguru is the third and final member of Bad Luck and plays the keyboard. He was brought in under Tohma's request. Bad Luck was always Shuichi and Hiro, therefore when Shuichi found out about Suguru, he wasn't pleased. And after realizing how truly talented Suguru is, Shuichi begins to despise the boy. Slowly, Shuichi learns to accept Suguru into his group.
Suguru is Tohma Seguchi's cousin, but since he has always been compared to Tohma, Suguru wishes to surpass him and Nittle Grasper. His skill at playing the synthesizer is unequaled. That driving force within him is what made him an affectionate legend. Perfection, great ability, a precocious type.Out of all the members of Bad Luck, Suguru is the hardest working. He's also extremely dedicated. While everyone else is lounging around and dealing with strange issues, Suguru is always still working his hardest.
Because of all the hard work and effort he puts into his work, Suguru is often very annoyed with Shuichi, Hiro, and even K. He doesn't understand Shuichi's personality and for this reason, there's a little bit of chemistry missing between them. Favorite food is melon. Hobbies are classical music appreciation and video games (RPG simulation games). His birthday is on July 6 and has a blood type of A. He’s 16 years old and has a height of 160 cm.
Ryuichi Sakuma...
Ryuichi is my favorite character from Gravitation and definitely one of the most interesting. Ryuichi is the lead singer in the world famous band Nittle Grasper, and as such is Shuichi's idol. However, after seeing Shuichi up on stage, Ryuichi is reminded of himself and learns to enjoy Shuichi's company. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that Shuichi and Ryuichi are rivals, and that Shuichi is beginning to surpass Ryuichi. However, ironically enough, just as Shuichi is a fan of Ryuichi, Ryuichi is a fan of Shuichi and seems to like the boy.
Ryuichi is very interesting because he has split personalities. His main personality is carefree and very much like Shuichi's. He is very naive and innocent and seems to be the master of puns. He is also slightly off kilter. Ryuichi does the weirdest and most interesting things - from dressing up in a pink bunny outfit, to impersonating his own version of Batman. This side of Ryuichi can almost always be seen with a stuffed bunny rabbit at his side. This bunny's name is Kumagoro and is Ryu-chan's best friend. He talks to Kumagoro and takes him everywhere he goes.
Ryuichi's other "half" takes a lot of people off guard. Sometimes when Ryuichi is performing, he can slip into another state and go from a fun-loving kid, to a serious and determined person who has a strange mysterious charm about him. On the few occasions that this other half can be seen, the outcome never seems to be positive. But switching back and force between "halves" is what makes Ryu-chan who he is.
Ryu-chan may appear to be re-living his childhood, but he's full of advice and support and he'll do whatever he can to help out Shuichi when he needs it. With Ryuichi's bright smile and wonderful personality, he truly does shine.
After the break-up of Nittle Grasper, he took the boat to America and becomes a solo artist unless there is a revival of Grasper. He is bad at Japanese (especially vague characters), English is his strong point. He likes Soft serve ice cream from the meadow lands in the mountains, afternoon snacks, water. His birthday is on April 1 with a blood type of B. He’s 31 years old;has a height of 165 cm and a weight of 53 kg.
Tohma Seguchi...
Tohma is a key character is Gravitation. Besides looking a little too much like Quatre from Gundam Wing, he establishes his own label, NG records, as company President and devotes himself to his work as a producer. He also runs the label that works with Bad Luck. Since Grasper's revival, he has become an artist and producer. Like Ryuichi, Tohma finds that there is something special about Shuichi. Tohma is also a keyboardist in the group Nittle Grasper and a talented musician. He is known world-wide for the musical work he does.
At first Tohma just seems to be a normal character, but he is connected to more of the story than one might originally expect. Tohma is married to Eiri's sister. On top of that, Tohma has known Eiri since he was young and knows all about his past.
Tohma secretly loves Eiri more than anything in the world. And, he'll do whatever it takes to make sure Eiri is happy. He was born on November 20. He’s 32 years old with a height of 175 cm and a weight of 55 kg. His favourites are junk food (potato chips and convenience store hand rolled sushi)
Noriko Ukai...
As one of the few female characters of the series, Noriko doesn't play a huge role. She's a keyboardist in the group Nittle Grasper.
She and Ryuichi seem to be good friends and she seems to like to cling onto Ryu-chan as well. Just as Hiro brings Shuichi back to his senses, Noriko has a similar role with Ryuichi. When Ryuichi starts acting like too much of a child, Noriko is always there to pick him up and bring him back to reality.
Noriko's role may be minor, but she's a powerful female figure nevertheless. She likes Mexican food and mail order items .
In the manga, it seems, she has a husband, Testuya Ukai, and one child, Saki Ukai, who is 6 years old. Her husband is a university professor and a well-known food critic. She was born on August 5 with a blood type of O. She’s 28 years old and has a height of 160 cm and a weight of 48 kg.
K...
Mr K is Ryuichi's former manager and now the manager of Bad Luck. This resident of Los Angeles is known for his love of weapons, and carries a gun, bazooka, or something like that with him at all times; he has a . His style can be summed up in a few short words: Do what I say, or else I will shoot you.
K is also known for his use of English. In every other line he'll speak a word or two of English just to spice things up. His American jokes make no sense however.
K will do whatever he can to allow Bad Luck to reach the top. His favorite person is Shuuichi in his assumption of office as Bad Luck's new manager. K comes up with all these crazy plans and follows through with them. Some of his schemes seem like overkill, but in the end, K always seems to be right and manages to create a happy ending. Watch out for him though. If you fail to listen to him, you WILL be shot at. He likes to eat hamburgers, sushi (tuna), and chicken. Hobbies include cooking and shooting. His favorite phrase is "Let's begin!" In the manga, after Grasper's breakup, he goes to his friend's place (presumably Ark who seems to be found in the manga only), who is a picture book writer, remembering playing and relaxing there. Having made a mistake about Ryuichi, he went to Los Angeles, in those days he was the Chief Executive of the Secret Service, going by the name of K. He was born on August 21 at Los Angeles California and his blood type is B. He’s 36 years old, has a height of 191 cm.
Sakano...
Sakano-san is Bad Luck's manager. He looks up to Tohma and follows his word to the letter. Sakano is a hard worker, however he lacks a backbone and worries a little too much. He can almost always be seen panicking in the background somewhere. Previously, he was Tohma's manager, he was drawn (by gravity) to Shuuichi's singing voice, and became Bad Luck's producer. Full name unknown.
He likes course tea and white rice. His birthday is on September 19 and his blood type is A. He’s 29 years old, his height is 175 cm and his weight is 62 kg.
Tatsuha Uesugi...
Tatsuha is Yuki's younger brother. However, unlike his older brother and sister, Tatsuha shows a lot of emotion. It appears that he and Eiri used to be closer when they were children, but have since drifted apart. Like Shuichi, Tatsuha is a huge Ryuichi fan. Tatsuha seems to be a little more obsessive than Shuichi though. When Tatsuha meets Shuichi for the first time, he sees the resemblance between Ryuichi and Shuichi right away and seems to like Shuichi. Tatsuha may be a little on the weird side, but in the end, he does that right thing and helps Shuichi out. His favorite foods are Okonomiyaki, Miso-flavored ramen. His birthday is on December 21 and his blood type is AB. He’s 16 years old with a height of 180 cm and a weight of 67 kg.
Ayaka Usami...
OVA 
She was Eiri's fiancee, now she's Hiroshi Nakano's girlfriend. Charming men into love is her forte, "After you sell a million records", "Take the final leap" and other such unreasonable demands to go out with him. Because this is Hiro we're talking about, he had no problem accomplishing her demands. Born on June 6, her blood type is A. She’s 17 years old with a height of 156 cm.
