List of Restaurant to Another World characters

This is a list of characters for the light novel and anime series Restaurant to Another World.

Main Staff

 * Master (店主)
 * The owner of the Western Restaurant Nekoya. A single man in his mid-thirties, he is the grandchild of a couple who opened the restaurant, and inherited it when his grandfather died 10 years ago. An outstanding culinary master, he enjoys cooking for the eclectic group of patrons that visit every Saturday. Resulting from the mingling of so many diverse beings within one space, the restaurant has become a neutral region, since none of the guests — whatever their personal differences — want to miss out on the Master's cuisine. His grandmother, Koyomi (also known as Yomi, a heroine from the other world) entrusted him with the key to the door; should he decide to close the door between both worlds, he is told that he must break the key.

 * Aletta (アレッタ)
 * A demon girl hailing from the Demon Kingdom on the other world's Eastern Continent. When the Demon God was vanquished by the legendary Four Heroes, the power he had once bestowed upon his demonic subjects waned, and as a result Aletta was born no different from humans except for the goat horns on her head. Rejected by human society and ending up a vagrant, she discovered the Nekoya's interdimensional entrance and began working every Saturday as a waitress. She later finds additional work as Sarah Gold's housekeeper.

 * "Kuro" (『黒』)
 * One of the other world's Ancient Six imbued with death, a power which inadvertently killed every mortal being that happened to cross her path. To avoid killing innocents, she banished herself to the world's moon. By chance, she found the door of the Nekoya appearing in her vicinity, entered the restaurant and, naive to human customs owing to her long isolation, ended up consuming so much chicken curry that her old friend, the "Red Queen", prompted the Master to hire her as a waitress to pay off her food bill. To interact with the staff and patrons, "Kuro" adopts the form of a black-haired elf girl, but usually communicates via telepathy instead of speaking aloud (in the anime, she eventually opens up to her co-workers by speaking vocally). She unofficially serves as the restaurant's guardian, should a situation arise. Of the diners, only Altorius, Alexander and several priests of the Ancient Six are aware of her true identity.

 * Daiki Yamagata (山方大樹) The Previous Owner (先代店主)
 * The now-deceased previous owner of the Nekoya and the current Master's grandfather. He is shown in flashbacks when the story reflects upon the older customers who became his grandfather's regulars. He met Koyomi near the end of (or just after) World War II, and the two eventually fell in love. He gave the restaurant to the current Master, his grandson and apprentice.

 * Yomi (ヨミ) Koyomi Yamagata (山方暦)
 * A female warrior reared as a Demon-slayer, and a member of the legendary Four Heroes from the other world. During their battle with the Demon God over seventy years ago, she was cast through an interdimensional boundary and wound up on Earth, where she married the Master's grandfather and founded the Nekoya with him.

Restaurant Support
Individuals from Japan, who are friends with the current Master. They help supply the restaurant with ingredients; some of them are actually aware of Western Restaurants Nekoya's otherworldly secret.


 * The Flying Puppy Owner
 * He is the current owner of the Flying Puppy Bakery (in reality, he's the second to own the bakery), who supplies Western Restaurant Nekoya with a variety of cookies, cakes, and other desserts. An old childhood friend of the current Master, he is aware of Nekoya's secret and helps the restaurant as much as he can. The bakery itself is located just above the restaurant, allowing easy access by the Master should he need anything.

 * Shouta Kimura
 * The bread delivery boy from Kimura Bakery, who delivers Western Restaurant Nekoya's bread supply; he works under his father, Kimura Bakery's owner. He ponders why Western Restaurant Nekoya requests for bread restock on Saturday's despite knowing the restaurant is closed. He is shown to have a crush on Aletta, who he assumes is a foreign cosplayer.


 * The Leonhart Owner
 * A former trading company employee who retired in his old age to open a bar in the building where the Nekoya is located, offering finger foods and liquors from all over the world. He also supplies the Master, and is therefore privy to the restaurant's secret.


 * Haruko
 * Haruko is the wife of the owner of the Laughing Dragon, a Chinese restaurant in Nekoya's neighborhood. The two owners are good friends to the former and current Masters; as a matter of fact, the current Master apprenticed at their place for a time. However, it is hinted that there is a touchy part about their common past, connected to Haruko's daughter, that the Master is not willing to discuss.

The Patrons from the Other World
The regular patrons call each other nicknames based on their favorite Nekoya dishes. As Earth's modern food preparation is more advanced than how their world prepares versions of their favorite dishes, the patrons rarely alter their dining choices; even when offered a menu.


 * Altorius (アルトリウス) "Pork Loin-Cutlet" (ロースカツ)
 * An elderly sage and magician, and one of the famous Four Heroes of the Eastern Continent. As the restaurant's very first patron, he is responsible for translating the Nekoya main menu entries into his world's language. His former pupil, the half-elf sorceress Victoria Samanark, is also a regular at the Nekoya.

 * Tatsugorou (タツゴロウ) "Teriyaki" (テリヤキ)
 * A legendary wandering swordsmaster from the Western Continent's Mountain Nation. He is good friends with Altorius, despite (or perhaps because) they often end up arguing about which of their respective favorite dishes is better than the other.

 * "Red Queen" (『赤の女王』) "Beef Stew" (ビーフシチュー)
 * A female shapeshifting red dragon and one of the Ancient Six in the other world, known by the title "Lord of Red" (赤い神) to her worshippers. When visiting the restaurant — whose door opens right onto her mountain lair — she adopts the form of a voluptuous, red-haired human woman, with large horns sprouting from her head; to avoid conflict, she arrives only after the other diners have all left. She was already a regular patron in the old owner's time, and because of both her natural avarice and her particular fondness for the Master's beef stew (of which she habitually takes a huge pot back with her for a snack), she considers the Nekoya and its staff her personal "treasure".

 * Sarah, a resident of the Demon Kingdom, is a member of the influential Gold merchant family and great-grand daughter of the deceased William Gold, a legendary treasure hunter and the founder of her family business. Infected by adventure lust (which is regarded as a curse within her family), she became a professional treasure hunter herself, and following William's descriptions to his personal door to the Nekoya in an abandoned mine, she gets to enjoy the Master's Minced Meat Cutlet, which was William's favorite dish. In the course of her visits to the Nekoya, she also becomes personally close to Heinrich Seeleman, trading friendly barbs with him.

 * Heinrich Seeleman (ハインリヒ・ゼーレマン) "Fried Shrimp" (エビフライ)
 * A nobleman from the Eastern Continent's great Duchy of Samanark who is obsessed with fried shrimp, whose taste he has not enjoyed since he left his childhood sea town to become a knight. After having stumbled upon the Nekoya in the course of a vital mission, he enjoyed several courses of his meal and left his sword as collateral. Unable to find his way back to the Nekoya for several years, Tatsugoro finally helped him in understanding the restaurant's schedule and returning for more fried shrimp. On the occasions of his visits, he also becomes closely acquainted with Sarah Gold.

After being rescued, he manages to locate an alternative door to the restaurant and indulge himself on his favorite dish once more.

 * Thomas Alfade (トマス・アルフェイド) "Meat Sauce" (ミートソース)
 * The former owner of a food supplying company in the other world, specializing in pasta dishes, which have become a popular cuisine in his kingdom. His inspiration actually stems from his monthly business interaction with the Nekoya restaurant, whose door opens right into his company's cellar, and his desire to consume their pasta dishes outside of his visits. In exchange for some of the restaurant's Day of Satur income (which is useless to Nekoya and only taken out of professionalism) and a free serving of spaghetti with meat sauce, Thomas supplies the Master with exclusive ingredients from the other world in order to adjust his dishes to his Saturday customers' tastes.

He takes a liking to the restaurant's Neapolitan pizza.

 * One of the old owner's oldest patrons, Lionel is a powerful lion demon warrior from the Demon Kingdom and the former leader of a raider gang who was captured by the half-elf hero Alexander and seemed destined to end his days as a gladiator slave.

As champion, Gaganpo is entitled to eat his own share inside the shop, a luxury that motivates him to consistently be the champion of his tribe.

After enjoying its taste, she has become very eager to learn all she can about creating culinary delights in order not to let Elven cuisine lose out to humanity's culinary skills. As a result, she tends to converse with the Master and Aletta in a polite yet snooty way.

In order to store her stash of take-out pudding, she has invented a magical equivalent for a powered icebox. She later begins taking her niece and nephew with her to Nekoya after she discovers the two of them snooping in her room and swears them to secrecy.

Her faith preaches moderation, but Celestina has trouble following her beliefs after her predecessor, Bridgette, had introduced her to the culinary wonders beyond the door opening within her training grounds. Once in the restaurant, she indulgences in various types of pound cake provided by the Flying Puppy Bakery, who sees her as one of the bakery's best customers.


 * Carlotta / "Brandy"
 * A priestess of the Lord of Light, and one of Celestia's three favored disciples who are entrusted with the secret of Nekoya's existence. Of common birth, she is nevertheless a skilled undead hunter. She particularly enjoys the alcoholic drinks in the restaurant.

 * Romero and Julietta / "Beefsteak”
 * A fugitive Dark Retainer couple on the run from Julietta's father, a nobleman who wanted to punish Romero for making his daughter into his "plaything". However, Julietta allowed herself to be converted by Romero because her strong love for him made her wanting to stay with him forever. They stumbled upon Western Restaurant Nekoya while on the run, and soon fell in love with both its food and wine. They see the restaurant as a form of salvation, despite several customers - Altorius, a mage; Heinrich, a knight; and the priestesses Celestina and Carlotta - being sworn enemies of Dark Retainers (in fact, Carlotta merely gets annoyed by the couple's doting). The couple's name (and overall situation) is a play off of Romeo and Juliet.

 * Tatsuji and Otora / "Roast Chicken"

 * Jack, Kento and Terry / "Hamburger"
 * Three teenage boys from a small Empire town who are the sons of a poor family, of a local sorcerer, and the town's mayor, respectively. After discovering a Nekoya door at the bottom of a disused well, they became especially fond of its servings of hamburger, French fries and cola. However, what has come to intrigue them most is the restaurant's multifarious clientele, making them resolve to become adventurers and travel the world once they come of age.
