List of Restaurant to Another World characters

The regular patrons call each other nicknames based on their favorite Nekoya dishes.

Altorius (アルトリウス, Arutoriusu) / "Pork Loin-Cutlet" (ロースカツ, Rōsukatsu)

Voiced by: Motomu Kiyokawa[3] (Japanese); Charlie Campbell[2] (English)

An elderly sage and magician, and one of the famous Four Heroes of the Eastern Continent. He is responsible for translating the Nekoya main menu entries into his world's language. His former pupil, the half-elf sorceress Victoria (see below), is also a regular at the Nekoya.

Tatsugorou (タツゴロウ) / "Teriyaki" (テリヤキ)

Voiced by: Hōchū Ōtsuka[6] (Japanese); John Swasey[2] (English)

A legendary wandering swordsmaster from the Western Continent's Land of Mountains, which boasts a culture similar to medieval Japan. He is good friends with Altorius, despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that they often end up arguing about which of their respective favorite dishes is better than the other.

"Red Queen" (『赤の女王』, "Aka no Joō") / "Beef Stew" (ビーフシチュー, Bīfu Shichū)

Voiced by: Shizuka Itō[3] (Japanese); Stephanie Young[2] (English)

A female shapeshifting red dragon who is over 100,000 years old, and one of the six ancient dragons in the other world, specializing in fire magic. When visiting the restaurant — whose door opens right onto her mountain lair — she adopts the form of a voluptuous, red-haired human woman, with large horns sprouting from her head; to avoid conflict, she arrives only after the other diners have all left. She was already a regular patron in the old owner's time, and because of both her natural avarice and her particular fondness for the Master's beef stew,[lower-alpha 2] she considers the Nekoya and its staff her personal "treasure", to the point of blessing Aletta and trying to overpay the beef stew with a pot full of coins.

Sarah Gold (サラ・ゴールド, Sara Gōrudo) / "Mince Meat Cutlet II" (メンチカツ2世, Menchikatsu Nisei)

Voiced by: Kiyono Yasuno[4] (Japanese); Caitlin Glass[5] (English)

Sarah, a resident of the Demon Kingdom, is a member of the influential Gold merchant family and great-grand daughter of the deceased legendary treasure hunter, William Gold. Infected by adventure lust (which is regarded as a curse within her family), she became a professional treasure hunter herself, and following William's descriptions to his personal door to the Nekoya in an abandoned mine, she gets to enjoy the Master's Minced Meat Cutlet, which was William's favorite dish. In the course of her visits to the Nekoya, she also becomes personally close to Heinrich Seeleman, trading friendly barbs with him.

Heinrich Seeleman (ハインリヒ・ゼーレマン, Hainrihi Zēreman) / "Fried Shrimp" (エビフライ, Ebi Furai)

Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita[6] (Japanese); J. Michael Tatum[5] (English)

A nobleman from the Eastern Continent's great Duchy of Samanark who is obsessed with fried shrimp, whose taste he has not enjoyed since he left his childhood sea town to become a knight. After having stumbled upon the Nekoya in the course of a vital mission, and after having learned about how to return to this place, he has become an avid consumer of its fried shrimp dish. On the occasions of his visits, he also becomes closely acquainted with Sarah Gold.

Voiced by: Fumihiko Tachiki[3] (Japanese); Jeremy Schwartz[2] (English)

An admiral of the Samanark duchal navy who was shipwrecked by a Kraken attack while escorting a merchant fleet, and stranded on a lonely tropical island for twenty years. On the island, Flügel discovered a door to the Nekoya, which was then still run by the Master's grandfather, and has been sustaining himself on the Master's curry rice and the company he found there. After being rescued, he manages to locate an alternative door to the restaurant and indulge himself on his favorite dish once more.

Voiced by: Yusaku Yara[3] (Japanese); Barry Yandell[5] (English)

The former owner of a food supplying company in the other world, specializing in pasta dishes, which have become a popular cuisine in his kingdom. His inspiration actually stems from his monthly business interaction with the Nekoya restaurant, whose door opens right into his company's cellar, and his desire to consume their pasta dishes outside of his visits. In exchange for the restaurant's Day of Satur income and a free serving of spaghetti with meat sauce, Thomas supplies the Master with exclusive ingredients from the other world in order to adjust his dishes to his Saturday customers' tastes.

Sirius Alfade (シリウス・アルフェイド, Shiriusu Arufeido) / "Naporitan" (ナポリタン)

Voiced by: Hiro Shimono[3] (Japanese); Stephen Fu[5] (English)

Thomas Alfade's grandson, who is entrusted with his grandfather's secret upon his first visit to Nekoya in order to succeed Thomas as the head of the Alfade Company. Like his grandfather, he has also become quite fond of the Nekoya Meat Sauce Pasta.

Johnathan Winsberg

Sirius Alfade's childhood friend and personal chef; because Sirius is unable to analyze taste like his grandfather, he decided to take Jonathan with him to Western Restaurant Nekoya. Once there, he discovers the restaurants Italian style dishes, with Sirius requesting if it is possible for him to replicate the dishes with the ingredients from their world. He takes a liking to the restaurant's Neapolitan pizza.

The young princess of the Great Empire on the other world's Eastern Continent named after her great-grandmother, who is often sent by her parents to her grandfather's country estate for her health, since she is suffering from an incurable disease known as the "Pauper Killer disease" (the actual nature is left unspecified, but her symptoms imply it to be asthma). Her late grandfather took her to the Nekoya during one of her visits as a young child, during which she came to enjoy the Master's chocolate parfait, making her another regular.

Wilhelm (ヴィルヘイム, Viruheimu) / "Croquette" (コロッケ, Korokke)

Lionel (ライオネル, Raioneru) / "Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl" (カツ丼, Katsudon)

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama[3] (Japanese); Jeremy Inman[2] (English)

One of the old owner's oldest patrons, Lionel is a powerful lion demon warrior from the Demon Kingdom and the former leader of a raider gang who was captured by the half-elf hero Alexander and seemed destined to end his days as a gladiator slave. (In the manga, he was defeated by Alexander in exchange of all Lionel's riches; in the anime, he was betrayed by the Demon Lord because of his detrimental attitude.) He was spared this fate when the Nekoya door incidentally appeared right inside his holding cell. After having been strengthened by the food he was served there, he won his freedom in less than a year (a feat never before accomplished) and stayed on as a gladiator champion, ever since returning to partake in the Nekoya's pork cutlet rice bowl dish for the past twenty years.

Voiced by: Makoto Yasumura[3] (Japanese); Tyson Rinehart[2] (English)

Already an adult at the age of eight years, he is a veteran hunter and warrior among his hunter-gatherer tribe, the Blue Tails. His tribe was visited by the Nekoya door about thirty years ago; and as a result of its wondrous appearance and the delicious food found on the other side, the site where the door appears is now a sacred spot for the tribe, who sends its worthiest champion through the door every Saturday to bring back some of the restaurant's omelette rice for the tribe to enjoy. As champion, Gaganpo is entitled to eat his own share inside the shop, a luxury that motivates him to consistently be the champion of his tribe.

Fardania (ファルダニア, Farudania) / "Tofu Steak" (豆腐ステーキ, Tōfu Sutēki)

Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa[3] (Japanese); Dawn M. Bennett[5] (English)

A young female wood elf who is a half-orphan and doted on by her constantly worried father. While gathering ingredients for dinner, she discovered the door to the Nekoya, and when the restaurant's usual menu did not appeal to her due to her vegan disposition, the Master created a tofu steak dish especially for her. After enjoying its taste, she has become very eager to learn all she can about creating culinary delights in order not to let Elven cuisine lose out to humanity's culinary skills.

Victoria Samanark (ヴィクトリア・サマナーク, Vikutoria Samanāku) / "Pudding a la Mode" (プリンアラモード, Purin a ra Mōdo)

Voiced by: Yukari Tamura[3] (Japanese); Jad Saxton[5] (English)

A member of the ancient duchal Samanark family of the Eastern Continent, Victoria manifested a latent half-elven genetic strain running in her family line which rendered her an outcast in human and elven society; she became known as the reclusive "Witch of the Western Tower" and "The Duchy's Witch Princess". After discovering and developing her natural aptitude at sorcery, she became the star pupil of the sage Altorius and first visited the Nekoya in his company, where she became responsible for writing up the dessert menu. In order to store her stash of take-out pudding, she has invented a magical equivalent for a powered icebox. She began taking her niece and nephew (who appeared in the Anime, but she has no interaction on them) with her to Nekoya when she discovered the two of them snooping in her room.

Arte (アルテ, Arute) / "Hamburg Steak" (ハンバーグ, Hanbāgu)

Voiced by: Ayaka Suwa[3] (Japanese); Amber Lee Connors[5] (English)

Arte is a young mermaid from the other world's southern seas, and a priestess of the "blue god" (青の神, Ao no Kami) of the seas (hinted to be "Blue" (青, Ao), one of the other world's six ancient dragons who specializes in water magic). Thanks to her magic, she is able to change her fins into dragon feet, which enables her to visit the Nekoya.

Roukei (ロウケイ)

Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka[3] (Japanese); Howard Wang[5] (English)

A young fisherman who was caught by surprise by a storm at sea, but rescued from drowning by Arte. In repayment for his salvation, Arte asked him for some money to pay for her favorite dish at the Nekoya, Hamburg steak.

Shareef (シャリーフ, Sharīfu) / "Coffee Float" (コーヒーフロート, Kōhīfurōto)

Voiced by: Atsushi Tamaru[3] (Japanese); Ricco Fajardo[5] (English)

The young prince of the Western Continent's magical Land of Sand and a trained sorcerer. He has a crush on Princess Adelheid, which is his prime reason for visiting the Nekoya, but lacks the courage to confess his feelings to her.

Renner (ラナー, Ranā) / "Cream Soda Float" (クリームソーダ, Kurīmusōda)

Voiced by: Shino Shimoji[3] (Japanese); Elizabeth Maxwell[5] (English)

Celestina / "Pound Cake"

She's the Eastern Continent's youngest High Priestess. She serves the Goddess of Light and preaches moderation. However, she has trouble following her beliefs as the Western Restaurant Nekoya's door appears within her training grounds. Once in the restaurant, she indulgences in various types of pound cake provided by the Flying Puppy Bakery, who sees her as one of the bakery's best customers.

Romero and Julietta / "Wine"

They are a fugitive Dark Retainer couple. The two are on the run from Julietta's father, a nobleman who wanted to punish Romero for making his daughter into his "plaything." However, Julietta allowed herself to be converted by Romero because her strong love for him made her wanting to stay with him forever. They stumbled upon Western Restaurant Nekoya while on the run, and soon fell in love with both its food and wine; they see the restaurant as a form of salvation, despite several customers - Altorius, a mage; Heinrich, a knight; and Celestina, a high priestess - being sworn enemies of Dark Retainers (in fact, Celestina merely gets annoyed by the couple's doting). The couple's name (and overall situation) is a play off of Romeo and Juliet.

Ellen and Herman / "Daily Special"

A married couple who visit Nekoya with their children, Kai and Bona, once a month for a small treat, which they had been doing for fifteen years.

Fairey / "Karubidon"

The 14-year-old high-born, mixed-blood daughter of a princess from the Eastern Continent, who resides with her family in the Ocean Nation and visits Nekoya once every few months due to her overlapping schedule.

Tatsuji and Otora / "Roast Chicken"

An Ogre couple from the Western Continent who learn of the Restaurant Nekoya from the halfling Rat after he convinces them to let him go after being captured by them. Once there, they develop a fondness for the many varieties of Roast Chicken they serve, as well as their alcohol.

Touichirou / "Hot Dogs"

A swordsman who grew up in a tiny town, abandoned his status as his family's heir and crossed the Eastern Continent with his wife, Aya, a priestess of the Lord of Earth and daughter of a senior priest. Though the two of them are quite fond of the resatraunt's Hot Dogs, Aya remains unable to leave the house due to having to take care of their newborn child. Thus Touichirou has taken up the task to go Nekoya and bring takeout home with him.

Alisa and Meimei / "Mushroom Spaghetti"

Two best friends who enter through separate doors, meet up inside Nekoya and share a mutual fondness for Mushroom Spaghetti. While Alisa is a talented Elf Healer who lived in a nameless village in the middle of a forest, Meimei is a young, orphaned demon girl with large white goat horns who lives on a farm in the Ocean Nation. During their visits, they spend their time catching up with each other and trading their different variations of the Mushroom Spaghetti.

Aisha / "Seafood Pilaf"

A young noblewoman hailing from the desert nation in the Western Continent who was first introduced to Nekoya by her servant, Alfred.

Alexander (アレクサンデル, Arekusanderu)

Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai[3] (Japanese); Micah Solusod[5] (English)

A womanizing half-elf mercenary and sword-master, and along with Altorius one of the legendary Four Heroes. He's described as being sharp-tongued and overconfident, despite having good intentions. After his exploits ended with the defeat of the Demon God, he spent 70 years as a mercenary performing work on commission. One of these jobs involved capturing Lionel and his band of mercenaries (an action that later required him to stagger his time visiting Nekoya to avoid meeting him). He is also father of Wilhelm, the founder of the Eastern Continent's Empire. Their relationship apparently suffered due to Alexander being absent in his sons' life, being away at war while he grew up and missing the death of his lover. Upon visiting the restaurant and trying his sons' favorite dish, he visits his grave, meeting his great-granddaughter Adelheid (named for her great-grandmother) but deciding not to reveal himself to her.

Voiced by: Susumu Chiba (Japanese); Aaron Roberts[5] (English)

Rat

A halfling who, to his own embarrassment, once attempted to dine and dash after visiting Nekoya for the first time. Since then he has been officially barred and is unable to pass through the door that appears on every Day of Satur. However, he is able to exploit a small loophole by following other diners into the restaurant so long as they open the door first, one such example being when he introduced the Ogres Tatsuji and Otora to the restaurant after he was captured by them, in order to avoid being eaten by them.
