Characters
- Miiko Yamada (山田 みい子 Yamada Miiko) is the protagonist of the series. She is an energetic fifth-grader and can be mistaken for a kindergartner due to her height. Michelle loves eating, which becomes a problem because she gets fat easily (as shown in much of the episodes). Her best friends are Marie Sellena (Mari Shimura), Yvonne Olivia (Yuuko Ogawa), Trevor Eggleson (Tappei Eguchi) and Kenneth Sean (Kenta Satou). She's often found hanging out with her friends or fighting with a boy called Trevor (Tappei) who seems to like Michelle a bit but was too shy to say it to her himself. He called her names instead and sometimes got on Michelle's nerves. Voiced by: Umi Tenjin.
- Mamoru Yamada (山田 まもる Yamada Mamoru) is Michelle's younger brother. Unlike his sister, he is very diligent and often teaches Michelle when she's having difficulties with her homework. Matthew liked helping his family, even though it got on his nerves sometimes. Voiced by: Akiko Yajima.
