Meet the cast of Love Hina!

Oh, and here's a little FYI for reference:

• The official timeline of the story starts in 10-20-1998, according to Chapter 1 and Chapter 44 (the date of when Keitaro and Naru had their first photo booth picture was 10-21-98, which was a day after Keitaro arrived)
• In correlation with above, the anime version takes place on the same date, but in 2000.
• Although it doesn't show much in the Tokyopop manga, Keitaro addresses Naru as Narusegawa. You'll notice this easier in the Kodansha version and in the anime subtitled.
• Seta's first name is Noriyasu, which is clarified in the anime. I watched it in Japanese and specifically heard his name come out as "Seta Noriyasu" (Japanese have their last names appear first)
• Some sites and even the English version of the anime address Su with her last name as her first. (Amalla actually called her sister SU!) To make this clear to everyone, her first and last name is Kaolla Su, in that order. If you STILL don't have a clue, look at her sister's name - Amalla Su.
• The birthdays and the signs of the characters are clarified in the Love Hina Christmas Special and in the first Tokyopop book.
• Tama-chan's official name is Onsen Tamago, but we'll just call her Tama-chan for now. Also, I'm still not absolutely sure it's a girl because of the vague hints Akamatsu left us...
• This story moves in almost real time. Seasons pass and you have a good idea of what day it is in each chapter.
