==Premise==
WBC's Sgt. Frog follows a race of beings known as Keronians, who were sent to conquer Earth. However, their leader, Sergeant Keroro, ended up as a servant of the Hinata family. Despite this, he and the Keronians are plotting to take over the world, though various circumstances result in those plans being foiled. 
==Characters==
=== Keronians ===
==== Keroro Platoon ====
* Sergeant Keroro (Richard Steven Horvitz) - The leader of the Keroro Platoon, he and his platoon were sent to Earth to conquer it for the Keronian Empire. Unfortunately, he ran afoul of the Hinata family, and is now effectively consigned to domestic servitude. Despite this, he's always coming up with some new plan to conquer Earth (or as the Keronians refer to it, Pokopen), but a combination of Fuyuki's interference and his and his platoons' general incompetence, stupidity, and eccentricities, always foil these plots. When he's not trying to conquer Earth or doing chores, he can be found building Gundam models, which he is extremely of and will hunt down anyone who would damage or destroy them. He is, however, serious about going to war with the Data Integration Thought Entity, as Kululu claims he can harness and use Haruhi Suzumiya's power to rewrite the universe in the Keronians' favor (whether he's serious or trolling is unclear).
* Private Tamama (Dan Castellaneta) - The newest and youngest member of the Keroro Platoon, to the point he still looks like a tadpole. A lover of sweets, Tamama sort of fell in with the Nishizawas upon his arrival on Earth (really, he was in trouble, and Momoka's alternate personality saved him). Despite his sweet disposition, Tamama is actually incredibly dangerous, due to being very mentally-unstable and having an ambiguously-gay crush on Keroro.
* Corporal Giroro (Rick May from 2013 to 2020, Maurice LaMarche since 2020) - A gruff Keronian, Giroro is one of Keroro's childhood friends. He's the only one who takes the invasion seriously, and is annoyed by Keroro's antics. Despite this, he isn't any better, due to his unhealthy obsession with Natsumi (even after she came out as a lesbian, Giroro is convinced that she's bisexual and that he can still woo her). He loves his guns as much as he loves Natsumi, and can often be found maintaining them so they'll be ready for an invasion that will never come.
* Sergeant Major Kululu (Gilbert Gottfried from 2013 to 2022, Rob Paulsen since 2022) - The scientist of the Keroro Platoon. Despite outranking Keroro, he's mentally unfit for leadership due to being certifiably insane. He provides the platoon with various inventions that inevitably cause chaos, and is also an absolute troll who knows how to push his comrades' buttons.
* Lance Corporal Dororo (Dennis Bateman) - Another of Keroro's childhood friends, Dororo is the ninja of the platoon. Upon arriving on Earth, he came across a kunoichi named Koyuki Azumaya, and after witnessing a government-ordered disbanding of the ninja clans, became a pacifist who does not wish any harm to Earth. Because of this, he's the only member of the platoon Fuyuki doesn't want dead.
* First Lieutenant Garuru (Alec Baldwin from 2013 to 2021, Fred Tatasciore since 2021) - Giroro's elder brother. Like Giroro, Garuru is a straight man and follows military rules strictly.
* Chief Medic Pururu (Tara Strong) - The chief medic of the Keroro Platoon.
* Recruit Tororo (Jim Parsons) - The team's intelligence officer and hacker and the newest member.
* Senior Private Taruru (John DiMaggio) - A senior private in the Garuru Platoon, and Tamama's ex-apprentice.

=== Pokopenians (humans) ===
==== Hinata Family ====
* Fuyuki Hinata (Tim Johnson) - A 13-year old middle-class boy living in Tokyo, Kanto, this incarnation of Fuyuki is completely different from the manga version. Whereas the original Fuyuki was a kind but somewhat dim loser with an obsession with the occult, this version of Fuyuki is bitter, angry, and constantly suspicious. It isn't his fault, however, as he still remembers the Vortaak's constant invasions until they were defeated in 2012. As a result, he hates all extraterrestrials equally. The Keronians are no exception, except he's in constant contact with them and has to restrain himself from ratting the Keronians out to the Global Defense Force. Despite this, Fuyuki isn't a misanthrope. He loves his sister and mother, is very protective of Momoka, is a big fan of NASCAR (he loves Tony Stewart and Chase Elliott and hates Kyle Busch), and idolizes Len Kagamine of the GDF's V-Unit.
* Natsumi Hinata (Chloe Johnson) - Like Fuyuki, this incarnation of Natsumi is completely different from the original. Whereas the original Natsumi was a milder version of the Johnson Fuyuki, straight, and used for fanservice, the Johnson Natsumi is Fuyuki's right-hand woman in keeping the Keronians in line. She shows shades of her original counterpart at times, but otherwise anonymously smuggles things to the Keronians. Also, unlike her original self, Natsumi is Fuyuki's fraternal twin sister, rather than being a year older than him.
* Momoka Nishizawa (Belle Armstrong) - A 13-year-old girl and the daughter of Baio Nishizawa, head of the Nishizawa Corporation.
* Koyuki Azumaya (Jenny Smith) - A transfer student at Fuyuki and Natsumi's school.
* Paul Moriyama (John Cleese) - Momoka's butler.
* Aki Hinata (Kristen Wiig) - Fuyuki and Natsumi's mother.
* Mutsumi Hojo (Dante Basco) - Kururu's partner.
