This is a list of characters from the Japanese manga, video game, and anime series Lucky Star.
Main characters
Konata Izumi
(old drama CD, NDS video game), Aya Hirano (anime, PS2 and PSP video game, new drama CD, Miyakawa-ke no Kūfuku anime and drama CD), Wendee Lee (English) Konata is the leader of the Lucky Star crew, and the main protagonist of the series. She is the shortest of the main characters. Nicknamed , she is an eccentric but friendly and outgoing tomboy, with a mischievous yet good-natured sense of humor. She is smart, but doesn't apply herself to studying, thus her grades are a bit variable. However, she is an expert at pulling "all-nighters". In contrast to her studying habits, she loves playing video games. This can be seen in the OVA for the series, it is revealed that the MMORPG she plays with Nanako Kuroi is "Tower of Druaga: Recovery of Babylim". In addition, she's a boyish otaku who loves manga and anime, which is also due to her father, Sōjirō Izumi's, influence along with the games, and likes to collect all sorts of paraphernalia relating to her favorite series. Her father buys adult games for himself, so she is able to play and enjoy them. In the anime, Konata constantly makes references to popular games, anime, and manga. In order to fund her interests, Konata had a part-time job at a cosplay café in Akihabara. She often plays late into the night, hence why she tends to fall asleep in class, which makes her a frequent victim to her homeroom teacher, Nanako Kuroi. Konata rarely eats a "normal" Japanese lunch, as she frequently eats only a chocolate cornet. Her physique is smaller than average when compared to her peers, which she claims hasn't changed since she was in the sixth grade. She is ambidextrous, in contrast to the mostly left-handed main cast. She has very long, blue hair which comes down to her calves with a large ahoge, sleepy eyes, a catlike smile and a beauty mark under her left eye, just like her father. Her mother, Kanata Izumi, died when she was an infant, and she has lived alone with her father since. In her third year of high school, however, her cousin, Yutaka Kobayakawa, came to live at her house, giving a total of three people in the Izumi residence. Although Konata spends most of her time playing games in her room, she has a darker skin tone, like her father's. Both of her voice actresses for the animated version, Aya Hirano for the Japanese version and Wendee Lee for the English version, are in fact the same people who voiced Haruhi Suzumiya in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime; other voice actors from the same series make guest appearances during the course of Lucky Star. Konata placed seventh in 2channel's SaiMoe 2007 contest, came in second place in the category of "Best Female Character" in the thirtieth Anime Grand Prix, and ranked third in Newtype's "Top 10 Female Characters of 2007" poll. Additionally, Konata placed first in a poll for flat-chested girls on the Anime One website.
