What are the main characters in the Japanese Little Mermaid story?

Answer 1

Since there's no one standard Japanese Little Mermaid story, but if we assume a common type, there would be the mermaid herself. She is the main protagonist, usually a beautiful and curious being. Then there could be a human male, perhaps a sailor or a young man living by the sea, who catches the mermaid's eye. There might also be other sea creatures like wise old turtles or friendly dolphins that help or guide the mermaid in her journey.

Answer 2

Well, in a possible Japanese Little Mermaid story, the mermaid would be the central character. She might have a name that is meaningful in Japanese, like Sakura (cherry blossom) to represent her beauty. The human character she falls in love with could be a fisherman named Takeshi. And there could be an antagonist in the form of a jealous sea witch. The sea witch, jealous of the mermaid's beauty and her relationship with the human, tries to put obstacles in their way. There may also be the mermaid's family and friends in the underwater world who are worried about her leaving them for the human world.

Answer 3

In the Japanese Little Mermaid story, the main character is surely the mermaid. She could be a unique kind of mermaid with long, black hair like traditional Japanese women. The human she loves could be a young artist who is inspired by the sea. He often comes to the shore to paint the ocean. Another important character could be a spirit of the sea, a kami perhaps, who has the power to either help or hinder the mermaid's relationship with the human. And there might be a group of mermaid friends who are initially against her decision to pursue a relationship with a human but later come to support her.
