All the Komi fans have been waiting for so long to get an anime adaptation for ‘Komi Can’t Communicate’. Well, the Anime Gods have heard our prayers and granted our wishes. Even when ‘Komi Can’t Communicate’ got its anime adaptation, we all feared how the animation might turn out to be. We feared how Komi-san would turn out to be in the anime. But well, we all were head over heels the moment we saw Komi San. She is just so perfect that there can’t be any way to make her look not good. We all wish to be Komi-san’s friends, don’t we? Usually, we wish to become the main character of our favorite anime, but in this anime, we are okay being the side characters as long as we get to be friends with Komi-san. Here, we shall have a look at some of the best characters from Komi Can’t Communicate.
Even though this anime is about Komi-san’s communication problem, she is not the only character that makes this anime great. Many other characters help Komi-san to overcome her communication problem and become friends with her helping her fulfill her dream of making 100 friends. And that’s what makes them one of the best characters in this beautiful anime.
So, without wasting any further time, let’s jump right in to find out the Top 10 best characters from ‘Komi Can’t Communicate’.
1. Shouko Komi (The Goddess)
Yes, she is a Goddess, and she does not know that. The Goddess who can’t express herself. Even though she thinks of it as a problem, it isn’t for others. Everyone is too busy admiring her perfection that they don’t even think of themselves worthy enough to talk to Komi-san. Watching her struggle to express herself makes us want to cheer for her. People say, “Nobody is perfect,” and the same people will say that the inability to express herself is her imperfection. But for us, even her imperfections make her perfect. She is indeed the creation of her father and her mother. She got the communication disorder from her father and looks from her mother.
She might not be able to speak a single word perfectly, but words will fall short of describing her perfection.
2. Najimi Osana (The Popular Girl/Boy)
There’s always that one person in every school whom everyone knows. Najimi is that person. It’s just that we do not exactly know whether this person is a he or a she. Let’s just assume that Najimi is a girl, the way she looks. But, even if we discover in the future that Najimi is a boy, we don’t think it matters to the people of culture. Even her childhood friend Hitohito Tadano used to think his entire childhood that Najimi was a boy.
A lot of people call themselves extroverts, but when it comes to public speaking, most of them get cold feet. But, Najimi is a true extrovert. We don’t think she fears talking, instead, talking fears her. People get tired of talking eventually, but we think talking gives her the energy to never stop talking. This quality makes her the complete opposite of Komi-san.
3. Hitohito Tadano (Komi San’s Translator)
There are times when we can’t speak what is in our hearts. Those are the times we wish someone would come and listen to our silences and understand what we fail to say. Tadano Kun is that guy for Komi-san. He might look like an ordinary guy, but he has extraordinary observation skills. He can read the atmosphere so well that not just Komi-san but he can also understand the feelings of all those who can’t express them clearly. Komi-san may not be able to say anything clearly, but the rest of the characters also have something that they can’t talk about. But Tadano is here for the rescue. He’ll help everyone out to express their unsaid feelings.
Just like Tadano is helping Komi-san fulfill her dream of getting 100 friends, he will help fulfill everyone’s dreams of becoming friends with Komi-san.
4. Rumiko Manbagi (The Gyaru Girl)
We might think that Komi-san has a problem communicating with others. But, she is not the only one. Deep down, everyone feels anxious trying to communicate with others. So is Rumiko. In the beginning, Rumiko used to put on a lot of makeup, trying to fit in with others. She wanted friends as much as Komi-san needed them. Putting on makeup and trying to fit in was her way to break the ice with others. But, it did not work for her.
When Tadano made her realize that she did not need to try to fit in to make friends, she had a little crush on him. That little crush turned huge as the time passed. Rumiko is the first person Komi-san befriended on her own.
5. Nene Onemine (The Big Sister)
When you have two younger sisters and two younger brothers, you have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders. And those responsibilities teach you to become a wise person. Just like the name suggests, Nene is the big sister, not just to her siblings but also to all her friends. She is one of a kind character who cares for all her friends like a big sister.
Even Tadano, who supports Komi-san like no one else, needs someone to support him. Nene supported him whenever he needed it. The way she cares for everyone makes us want to have a big sister like her.
6. Ren Yamai (The Crazy Yandere Girl)
There’s always that one person in a friend circle you should never mess with. Ren Yamai is that person. She is the crazy fangirl of Komi-san. She is so obsessed with Komi San that she can’t tolerate anyone near Komi-san, especially Tadano, other than herself. She is such a fan that she knows every little detail about Komi-san. She might look crazy, but she is the kind of person who can protect Komi-san from anything. She can look Death right in the eyes and make him beg for his life. She is that crazy.
If she had a fan group whose sole purpose was to protect Komi-san, we all would have joined it for sure.

7. Hitomi Tadano (The Sister Tadano)
Hitomi is basically the little sister version of Hitohito Tadano. And she talks a lot. What brother Tadano does for our Komi-san, Hitomi does the same for Shousuke, brother of Komi-san. Just like her brother, she knows to read the surroundings and understand people’s feelings. The only difference between these siblings is that Hitomi is very energetic and doesn’t hesitate to talk, while brother Tadano is a bit timid. But, they both always show up whenever they are needed.
8. Himiko Agari (The Foodie Girl)
Himiko is a sweet girl who underestimates herself most of the time. Just like Komi-san, she finds it hard to express her feelings. She finds it comfortable in the library as she doesn’t need to talk there. Just like everyone, she wants to be friends with Komi-san, but due to her underestimating herself, she couldn’t have the courage to go and talk to her. She feels she isn’t worthy enough to talk to Komi-san. Well, we can’t blame her for that. If we were in her shoes, we would have thought the same. But, when it comes to food, she doesn’t hesitate. She gives her reviews about restaurants like a pro, and her reviews helped a lot of restaurants to grow well.
Himiko considers herself Komi-san’s dog. Well, you are not alone, Himiko, in this. We do too.
9. Makoto Katai (The ‘Looks Can Be Deceiving’ Guy)
We all have that one guy in our group who looks tough but has a soft heart. Makoto Katai is that guy in Komi-san’s group of friends. No one approaches Makoto because of his tough looks and heavy build. People have already started assuming that he is a delinquent. He exercised his way to make him look like that and bleached his hair, hoping that no one would bully him after that. But, no one can hide their true nature. In reality, he is just a soft guy who needs an understanding friend. And Tadano-kun always understands Makoto’s feelings just like he understands Komi-san’s feelings.
Because Tadano understands his feelings and things he could not say, he has a soft corner for Tadano.
10. Masayoshi Komi (The Father Komi)
We often wonder about the existence of God. We often question how did God come into existence. A question with no answer. But Masayoshi Komi is the one who created our Goddess! Tomohito Oda might have written this beautiful story, but The Father Komi is the real creator of our Goddess.
There are lots of guys out there who try so hard yet can’t get themselves a girlfriend. But, this legend got himself Shuuko Komi as his wife without even trying that hard. On top of that, without even speaking. He is the God that all single boys should worship. Other than that, this guy has some mad skills. He is good at baking, woodworking, sandcastle building, and he is also good at riding a motorcycle. He might not be good at verbal communication but can communicate well with his kids non-verbally.
Even if he can’t communicate, it’s still okay. Because just like Shouko has Tadano to understand her, Masayoshi has Shuuko to understand him.
