For those of you who like music-themed anime, you might be familiar with the anime Detroit Metal City. Apart from presenting cool metal music playing, this anime is very thick with comedy elements that make the audience laugh.
On this occasion, we would like to discuss all characters that appear in this anime story. Who are they? Check the complete information below!
1. Soichi Negishi
Soichi Negishi was originally a gentleman and loved pop music. However, the path of life was not as smooth as he had hoped. Instead of being a pop musician, Negishi instead became a metal musician from the band Detroit Metal City/DMC.
As a metal musician, Negishi uses the stage name Johannes Krauser II. He is very skilled in playing his guitar. In addition, he often gets out of control and utters harsh words during concerts.
2. Yuri Aikawa
While still studying in college, Negishi liked a beautiful girl named Yuri Aikawa. Vice versa, Aikawa likes the calm side of Negishi. Not only that, they both like pop music.
The funny thing is, Aikawa really hates music from DMC. She didn't even know that Negishi and Johannes Krauser II were the same person. The moment when the two of them meet at the music store often brings fresh humor to the story.
3. Terumichi Nishida
Just like Negishi, Terumichi Nishida is the frontman of the DMC group who holds the position of drummer. He is known by the stage name Camus. In addition, he has a high dedication as a metal musician.
After beating his drum, Nishida would not stop playing even if there were dangers around him, such as fire or poisonous snakes. Despite his profession as a drummer, he is a hardcore otaku who loves ecchi anime.
4. Masayuki Wada
The third member of the band DMC is Masayuki Wada who takes the position as bassist. He uses the stage name Alexander Jagi. In addition, he became an idol for female fans.
To be honest, Wada prefers to play in J-rock type bands. However, he is too afraid of DMC's manager. Because of that, he persisted and continued to perform concerts with DMC members.
5. Death Record President
This one character is the manager of DMC who plays a big role in DMC's career. She is described as a very chaotic woman. In addition, she is usually accompanied by her personal bodyguard.
DMC managers often devise promotion plans with ideas that are wild and conflict with Negishi's feelings. On top of that, she always scares Negishi with harsh actions and words.
6. Keisuke Nashimoto
The DMC concert felt incomplete without the presence of Keisuke Nashimoto aka Capitalist Pig. He is a middle-aged man hired by management to appear on stage with DMC players.
While on stage, Nashimoto was often bullied by Krauser in harsh ways. Even though it seems cruel, he feels comfortable and suitable for the job. His action was able to make the fans cheer with joy.
7. Jack ill Dark
Jack ill Dark aka is a legendary black metal musician known as The Emperor. He deliberately did a farewell concert in Japan so he could destroy the band DMC.
However, Jack had time to make Negishi angry to the point where Krauser's soul inside him rebelled. After Krauser beats Jack on stage, Krauser is honored to hold Jack's legendary guitar and assumes the title of Emperor.
