Keiichi is the youngest male competitor in the concours. He likes to do things at his own pace. He is very drowsy all the time and often seems confused or in a daze. Keiichi speaks slowly and politely, in a quiet voice, and can be found sleeping anywhere, anytime. Kahoko first met him lying on the ground, fast asleep because of this many people gave him the title of "Sleeping Beauty" from his handsome face and drowsy manner.

His life seems to revolve around music - he tells Kahoko that he sleeps, wakes up, plays the cello, then repeats the process, other than eating, going to concerts with his family and visiting the library to learn more about music.

He is currently living at his aunt’s house. He enjoys reading as well as studying the history of music and structures of instruments. In time, he becomes interested in Kahoko because of her carefree music. He has an older sister, a younger brother and a younger sister. His older sister always sends him costumes to try on.

Kahoko also commented that when he smiles, he looks like an angel.

He also often calls Mr. Kanazawa the wrong name.

Kahoko

Kahoko is the main female protagonist of the series. She is a second year at Seiso Academy. She has a warm and friendly personality and is very honest and straightforward, as shown from the way she expresses herself through her violin.

Kahoko has never played or touched a violin until she meets the strange music fairy, Lili. Though at first reluctant about playing the violin, she soon begins to love music. She is a polite and considerate girl who puts others' feelings before her own, though at times she can appear rather naive, especially in music. The boys involved in the concours have obvious crushes on her, though Kahoko is unable to figure that out. She confesses to have a strong craving for sweet things.

In the TV special Secondo Passo, she took up a part-time job working in a music shop to finance her violin lessons. She was also excluded by the academy's director Akihiko Kira to form an ensemble to take part in a grand festival.

She was upset by the director's decision, Kaji then took her out on a date to cheer her up. He then reveals the reason he transferred here.

She lives with her mother and older sister as well as having an older brother studying in a university but it is unknown whether or not her father has been mentioned in the story.
