Overview • **History** • Relationships • Gallery

## Background

Tem had attended Cherryton Academy where he partook in the drama club as a member of the acting team. During his time there, he befriended Legoshi, and started developing romantic feelings for Els, a female Angora goat. At various points, Tem had attempted and failed to work up the courage to confess to Els, which continued for some time.

Tem eventually found himself alone in the dressing room with his fellow clubmate Riz, a large, brown bear. Tem confronted him about his size and remarked how scary Riz was to him. Despite this, Tem showed nothing but curiosity in Riz, asking him about how his stature made him feel. This surprised Riz as most of their peers had only ever perceived him as being docile and gentle.

The two would eventually spend more and more time together, with Riz gradually opening up more about himself to Tem. This lead to Riz revealing his strength restraining pills to Tem, who suggested he be more open about them to their clubmates. This idea was swiftly refused by Riz who speculated showing the pills would only put distance between him and his fellow club members, so Tem instead proposed that they talked and spent more time together to help alleviate his friend from the side effects of his medication.

### Drama Club arc

Riz, wanting to show Tem his "true self", proposed a meeting with Tem in the evening. During the meeting, Tem remarked how Riz seemed a "bit off" which to Tem's horror, he admits having stopped taking his medication. Riz reached out to Tem, unintentionally gashing his arm with his claws, causing Tem to flee in pain. Though Riz pursued him, Tem commented on his actions, lamenting that carnivores were nothing but monsters.

The overwhelming emotions that overcame Riz caused him to black out and lose control of his feral instincts. Though Tem resisted, he was no match for the carnivore. When Riz later regained his sense of self, he found himself drooped over Tem's lifeless body who he had mauled to death. Riz, covered in blood, with tears streaming down his face, then proceeded to eat what was left of his old friend, tricking himself that this outcome was only inevitable to cope over his lost friendship. Tem's remains were shortly discovered by the school the next day.

### Murder Incident Solution arc

Tem was previously mentioned by Legoshi when confronting his fellow carnivore drama club members regarding his murder.

Tem is again mentioned by Riz as he reminisces about their times as friends.
Gosha/Relationships

Overview • History • **Relationships** • Gallery

Here are the different established relationships of **Gosha** with the other characters, during the course of the publication of manga and anime.

## Relationships

### Legoshi

Gosha is the grandfather of Legoshi. Though they seemed to be very close early in his life, Legoshi had become very distant from his grandfather after the death of Leano. While their relationship is not the same as it was, Gosha still deeply cares for his grandson, more so since he is his only living direct family.

### Leano

Leano was Gosha's first and only child. Similar to Legoshi, Gosha had a much healthier relationship with his daughter at a young age. However, after Leano committed to distancing herself publicly from Gosha in order to socially pass as a pure blooded grey wolf, they grew more distant. Regardless, Gosha continued to support her, and grieved her later death along with Legoshi.

### Toki

Not much is known about Gosha's wife. In his recollection of their first encounter, Gosha had saved her from a hippopotamus threatening her. After which, they instantly became infatuated with each other. Some time after, Gosha had revealed she was pregnant with Leano, and committed to providing for and protecting the both of them. As a result, he stepped down from his position as Beastar, leaving Yahya to hold the title alone. It is later revealed in Chapter 189 that she wanted to have a normal kiss, but Gosha was terrified of hurting her with his venom. She did get her wish by emptying his disinfectant bottles, but the venom ate through her face causing her death, with her final words being "For me, this is victory."

### Yahya

Despite Yafya's bitter resentment towards him for stepping down from the position of Beastar, Gosha still considers him a dear friend and cares for his well-being. The only instances in which their friendship had been brought to question was directly after Gosha had found out about Yahya endangering Legoshi by recruiting him in his hunt for Melon, though he was eventually brought back to reason.
Kai

* Anime
* Manga

**Kai** (カイ, *Kai*?) is a minor character in *Beastars* and student at Cherryton Academy. Originally an actor in the drama club, he was later demoted to the stage crew by Louis.

## Appearance

Kai is a small, brown-furred mongoose with a slender build and face. His features are small but expressive.

## Personality

Kai is eager, brash and desperate to prove himself. Driven to a fault, he's shown to be somewhat selfish. He expressed little sorrow after Tem's death, instead seeing it as an opportunity to advance his career as he assumed that he would be given the role.

He is also impulsive and quick to anger. When he learned that Tem's role was given to someone else, he stormed into Louis's office and demanded to know why, ignoring any formalities. Furthermore, when Louis gave him a dressing down for his previous onstage gaffes and informed him he was being transferred to the stage crew, he almost immediately struck Louis in rage only for Legoshi to intervene. When he attempted to threaten Legoshi, Kai quickly backed down in fear upon seeing the wolf bear his fangs, showing that Kai may be more bark than bite.

Despite the blow to his ego, Kai mellows out considerably after he finds that he fits in well as a stagehand.

Though somewhat selfish, he is not without sympathy, as he does show concern for Legoshi after the Shishigumi incident.

## Trivia

## Personality

Yahya at first sight seems to be a pretty friendly and reliable animal due to being the Beastar. However, he is also quite manipulative. He has a strong desire to bring about justice and make a change in society and will often manipulate other animals as a means to an end. This has led him to have many enemies, as shown in the death threats graffitied on the walls surrounding the Black Market.

He uses the bodies of carnivores he punished to fertilize his carrot farm and because of this, he is hated and known as the "Black Devil" by residents of the Black Market. He is capable of cruelty to not only carnivores but herbivores as well, after threatening the leader of the 500 Cornered Rats during an interrogation.

## Abilities

* **360-degree vision:** He can't view 360-degree, so he requires one individual that will add 10-degree to his 350-degree vision. When Gosha used to be his police partner, he used the 360-degree vision with him to fight multiple criminals. He also used it with Legoshi to look for Melon who was hidden around a crowd in a night party.

## Trivia

* Yahya almost constantly wears a blindfold, to suppress his 350-degree vision.
* He is named after the Arabic name of John the Baptist, Yahya (يَحْيَى‎ *Yaḥyā*).

In a fit of fury, Mizuchi dumped water all over Haru and exposes her racism towards Haru, exclaiming that her species is in danger of extinction and that's why their relationship will flourish again to keep them safe, as she saw it as her duty to have children with her boyfriend to save the harlequin species.

This strongly contrasts with the white color that covers the upper and medium areas of his wings, as well as his whole tail. His beak and claws are yellow.

He wears a dark-colored hooded jacket over a white T-shirt, black sweatpants, and light sneakers. He is also seen wearing flannel and pants, white socks, in addition to wearing goggles and a necklace with a compass when flying.

## Personality

Raika is a lively young man and is extremely laid-back and very carefree, which makes him quite irresponsible. Raika does not seem to have ambitions or great aspirations for his future. He shows that he is very comfortable with his current lifestyle and even though he is aware that he is not the most respected for an adult and does not seem to want to quit, he gets a lot out of it.
Melon/Relationships

Overview • History • **Relationships** • Gallery

## Relationships

### Holger

Holger is possibly one of the only animals that have a positive relationship with Melon. Melon is a regular customer of his and often goes to him for tattoos to cover up his leopard spots.

### His mother

Melon had a negative relationship with his mother. Rumors spread that she ate Melon's father, which is later confirmed to be wrong in Chapter 188. He beat her to death with a iron as a child, either fearing for his life, or because she "had still insisted on using that fairy tale tone of hers" when talking about him being a hybrid. He "couldn't forgive her for that."

### Shishigumi

He is the last boss of the Shishigumi, but does not care about his subordinates. He only allowed them to eat meat twice a month and eat nothing but melons the rest of the time. Whenever he feels any of the lions stepping out of line, he'll abuse him verbally, physically or both. Agata seems to be Melon's primary focus of abuse. Melon once sliced Dolph's neck with a cleaver with no remorse in order to spill his blood and thus a lion's scent all over the place in order to win a turf war. After Dolph returns alive and bandaged, Melon bluntly tells him he'll use a saw next time.
Orion

**Orion** (オリオン, *Orion*?) is a character in *Beast Complex*. She is the deuteragonist of the tenth chapter.

## Appearance

Orion is a young, medium height kangaroo with a slim build. Being an albino kangaroo, her fur is completely white, except for some spots located on her crotch that resembles the constellation Orion (hence her nickname). Her radiant eyes are without pupils and she has long eyelashes. She has long, rounded ears and a large tail.

Her entire wardrobe is all-white. She wears a long-sleeved sweater over a medium-length dress with ruffles at the neck, and flats. Her work attire consists of a blouse under an apron, pants and a cap.

## Personality

Due to her precarious situation, Orion has a completely dull and indifferent attitude to her surroundings. She resigns herself only to supporting her social position and living functionally within District 0 and to not be thrown into the outside world that she has been told her whole life to be scary. After a terrifying experience which she was able to easily overcome, she gained the courage to happily venture out into the outside world with Ebisu.

## Trivia

* The name Orion is a nickname earned in District 0, so her real name is unknown.
* The fact Ebisu could see her spots could indicate that Orion was not wearing underwear at the time or that she did not hide her spots from him.

Legom/Relationships

Here are the different established relationships of **Legom** with the other characters, during the course of the publication of manga and anime.

## Relationships

### Legoshi

Legom never directly interacted with Legoshi. They met indirectly because Legoshi was a loyal consumer of her products (egg sandwiches), so Legom strived every week to have the best quality eggs to satisfy Legoshi. There was a week in which Legoshi did not buy an egg sandwich, which affected her, thinking she had lost a loyal consumer. It turns out her egg sandwiches are now sold on Fridays instead of the usual Wednesdays, which relieved her and filled her with glee. Legom patiently waited until Legoshi notices that her egg sandwiches are sold on Fridays.

>

**Tem** (テム, *Temu*?) was a character in *Beastars*. He was a male alpaca student at Cherryton Academy, and a member of its drama club before suddenly being murdered by one of his classmates at the very beginning of the series.

## Appearance

Tem was a small alpaca with brown eyes, light skin, and a fine, white coat of wool that covered most of his body. According to Legoshi, his wool was remarkably soft.

He was typically seen wearing his school uniform, which consisted of a white dress shirt, an indigo vest, a dark gray tie, black suspenders, gray pants with dark gray vertical stripes, and brown loafers.

## Personality

Though Tem has made few appearances, he was shown to be an open-minded individual when he was alive. He was quite sociable among his carnivore classmates, as both Legoshi and Riz have described him as a good friend. Despite his friendly nature, Tem did have a more bashful side, which could be seen during his interactions with Els, a girl he had feelings for.

As he was a member of the acting team of the drama club, it can be assumed that Tem was not as withdrawn as Legoshi. Tem was not afraid to speak his mind, and would give very blunt praise or criticism with little hesitation. This is one of the reasons he became friends with Riz, as Riz appreciated Tem's blunt honesty.

## Trivia

* In the manga, the culprit's silhouette alludes to a wolf-shaped animal as Tem's killer, despite the fact that Riz is the one responsible for his death. However, this was likely done to mislead the viewer.

* In the anime, the culprit is instead represented as a more vague looking figure, later shown to have round ears.
* In the anime, Tem was shown to die in Lecture Hall 2.

Juno

* Anime
* Manga

**Juno** (ジュノ, *Juno*?) is a main character in *Beastars* and is a member of the drama club on the actor team. An affable she-wolf, she wished to become the next Beastar, competing against Louis.

## Appearance

Juno is a well-endowed gray wolf with long, curly brown fur and blue eyes. She is typically seen wearing her school uniform. This uniform consists of a white blouse and bow tie; a long, pleated white skirt decorated with two light blue horizontal lines near the hem; a thin, tan belt; white anklet socks; and black Mary Jane shoes.

During drama club practice, she wears a white t-shirt and red shorts. During the Meteor Festival, Juno wore a red, one-strap sleeveless dress with a semi-ruffled skirt and a thigh slit. She also wore noticeable makeup, a headdress of feathers with a veil, a choker, and red shoes. Her casual attire consists of long-sleeved blouses and knee-length skirts, in addition to low-heeled shoes.

Author Paru Itagaki wrote in Chapter 34.5 of *Beastars: Volume 4* that Juno has dark-brown fur, a "fully mature" body with "prominent breasts and hips," and "the sweet eyes of a child." She is also described as having a slender girlish frame, but the strength of a wolf. Her face is said to be inspired by a young Winona Ryder.

## Personality

Juno is quite social and is shown to treat all animals with kindness. She is described as having natural charisma. However, she has also shown to be a very ambitious person with a bit of a manipulative streak, and showed a completely different side to her usually perky self towards Louis, whom she intimidated.

She is very idealistic and believes in creating a better world for carnivores where they are praised for their true strength instead of being feared. Juno can be quite jealous and possessive and would do anything it takes to be the next Beastar and claim Legoshi for herself.

## Trivia

* Juno's name could have possibly been derived from the Roman goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter and protectress of women and marriage, which refers to her romantic nature and how quickly she falls in love with boys. It can also be rendered in kanji as **寿乃** or **珠暢** which mean "you live long" or "long pearl."
	+ Depictions of the Roman goddess Juno always show her with a cloak made out of wolf fur.
* Juno is the only main character in the series whose family isn't mentioned or explored.
* Although she competed for the Beastar title, she eventually gave up on it, seeing that it was no competition for Louis.
* In exclusive omakes (extras) for *Beastars*, Paru Itagaki wrote that Juno was created as a foil to Haru, and was given more traditional traits of beauty. However, she found this direction uninteresting until she had Juno take action in Chapter 31, which was around when Itagaki "started to love her character."
