Witch Hat Atelier characters at a glance

Crunchyroll's English dub announcement confirms the eight English roles in this table. Later characters have verified Japanese actors on the official anime site, but we have not filled an English column without a first-party cast record.

Coco and Qifrey: the story's central pair

Coco

Coco begins as a girl helping at her mother's tailor shop while dreaming of becoming a witch. Magic appears to be an ability people inherit, so that dream seems impossible. When she secretly watches Qifrey cast a spell, she discovers the guarded truth behind the world's magic and accidentally uses it herself.

That discovery makes Coco both an apprentice and a danger to the established order. She brings an Outsider's perspective to rules that trained witches accept without question. Her role is best understood as the learner who keeps asking who magic is for, rather than as a chosen prodigy.

Qifrey

Qifrey is the young witch Coco catches using magic. After her accidental spell places her in danger, he takes her into his atelier as an apprentice. He teaches Coco, Agott, Tetia and Richeh while operating under the magical world's laws.

The official profile also establishes the key practical relationship: Qifrey is Coco's teacher, not her father. His closest long-term personal connection in the starting cast is Olruggio, his childhood friend.

• Japanese voice: Natsuki Hanae
• English voice: Joshua A. Waters
• Group: Qifrey's atelier
• Role: teacher and atelier master

Qifrey's four apprentices

The atelier's student group consists of Coco, Agott, Tetia and Richeh. Their contrasting approaches to magic make the school scenes easier to follow.

Agott

Agott is serious, talented, proud and highly ambitious. She comes from the Arklaum family, whose members serve as librarians at the Tower of Tomes. Her early friction with Coco comes from standards and status: Agott has spent her life training inside a system Coco only just entered.

• Japanese voice: Hibiku Yamamura
• English voice: Madeleine Morris
• Memory cue: the driven traditional student

Tetia

Tetia is the group's energetic social center. The official profile calls her the life of the party and gives her a wonderfully specific dream: taking a nap on a flying cloud. When a scene needs openness or momentum, Tetia often supplies it.

• Japanese voice: Kurumi Haruki
• English voice: Sarah Wiedenheft
• Memory cue: the cheerful connector

Richeh

Richeh is quiet, independent and exacting. She can be stubborn, and her defined technical strength is drawing small casting seals. That precision distinguishes her from Agott's outward ambition and Tetia's exuberance.

• Japanese voice: Hika Tsukishiro
• English voice: Nerida Bronwen
• Memory cue: the precise independent student

The adults around the atelier

Olruggio

Olruggio serves as the atelier's Watchful Eye, an oversight role that makes his presence more than domestic companionship. His severe first impression hides a caring nature. The official profile says he and Qifrey have been best friends since childhood.

• Japanese voice: Yuichi Nakamura
• English voice: Reagan Murdock
• Relationship: Qifrey's childhood friend

Alaira

Alaira is Qifrey's acquaintance and a witch who sometimes serves as a proctor for magic exams. That makes her an authority figure readers can associate with formal testing rather than Qifrey's everyday teaching.

• Japanese voice: Kotono Mitsuishi
• Role: exam proctor

The Starry Sword and traveling characters

Tartah and Nolnoa

Tartah helps his grandfather Nolnoa at The Starry Sword, a magic stationer. His official profile says he has Silverwash Syndrome, a condition that makes every color appear silver. Nolnoa is the elderly shopkeeper.

• Tartah — Japanese voice: Mutsumi Tamura
• Nolnoa — Japanese voice: Yoshito Yasuhara
• Relationship: grandson and grandfather

Custas and Dagda

Custas is an Outsider who travels with the poet Dagda. Dagda met Custas in the slums and cares for him like a son. Coco and her friends encounter them after a landslide, which is enough context to identify the pair without revealing later turns.

• Custas — Japanese voice: Toshiki Kumagai
• Dagda — Japanese voice: Katsuyuki Konishi
• Relationship: found family and traveling companions

Knights Moralis explained

The Order of Moral Spellcasting, also called the Knights Moralis, enforces the magical world's laws. Four current official profiles connect directly to the order.

Easthies is the clearest ideological marker. He is an old acquaintance of Qifrey and applies magical law strictly, without exceptions. Utowin, Galga and Luluci are currently described more simply as serving witches, so this guide does not invent specialties that the official anime profiles do not provide.

The order represents institutional control over magic. If the atelier teaches how to create, Knights Moralis police the boundaries around creation.

Brimmed Caps: Iguin and Sasaran

The Brimmed Caps stand outside the accepted magical order and are associated with forbidden magic.

Iguin gave a young Coco the magic picture book and pen that shaped her dream. The official profile says Iguin fixates on Coco and tempts her to use Forbidden Magic. Sasaran is another Brimmed Cap who usually appears without a physical body.

• Iguin — Japanese voice: Mitsuki Saiga; English voice: Erin Nicole Lundquist
• Sasaran — Japanese voice: Ryusei Nakao

These descriptions establish their alignment without unpacking later manga revelations. New anime viewers can safely remember them as the pressure opposing the legal magical system.

Euini and Brushbuddy

Euini

Euini is the apprentice of a witch named Kukrow. He experiences severe stage fright: when people watch him, he trembles and cannot draw magic. His difficulty matters in a world where accurate drawing controls whether a spell works.

• Japanese voice: Hiiro Ishibashi
• Group: Kukrow's apprentice

Brushbuddy

Brushbuddy is a small, friendly creature with brush-like fur. Magic ink attracts them, and they become attached to Coco and the atelier. The official English site writes the name in lowercase, so this guide preserves that styling in direct references while capitalizing it at the start of a sentence.

• Japanese voice: Misaki Kuno
• English voice: Bryn Apprill
• Group: atelier companion
