𝄞 Emi
1st Appearance: 3rd MIX (1999)
I was today years old when I found out Emi is only 18? She looks older than that to me. In a similar vein to how they cast late 20-year-olds as teenagers in TV shows. Sorry Emi, I mean no shade.
Fun Fact: Emi is great with machines, but not with computers... She builds robots though? So imo that makes her pretty good with computers...

𝄞 Disco
1st Appearance: DanceDanceRevolution (1998)
So I knew this character as "Afro" and thank god they changed his name... Cause oh wow... He runs a nightclub but dances there all night, I would hate for him to be my boss. Who's managing that place while he's dancing?
Fun Fact: Disco has appeared in ever single DDR game, the only character to do so!

𝄞 Rage
1st Appearance: 3rd MIX (1999)
I did't know Rage was Japanese until now... to be honest, he looks very white to me in SuperNOVA. Am I stupid? I'm sorry, Rage. I thought you were blonde under that hat, too.
Fun Fact: Rage's lifelong dream is to open a takoyaki shop, and at one point he even moves to America to open one there.

𝄞 Robo-Zukin
1st Appearance: SuperNOVA (2006)
Robo-Zukin my beloved! <3 She's my favorite character from DDR, and a dream cosplay of mine. I have no idea how I'd make her. For now, she's the profile picture of my Slack account at work... I don't think anyone knows where she's from though.
Fun Fact: She is 9'1" and from France! Diva alert!

Princess Zukin is the richest Zukin in the Land of the Zukins. Her special skill is the ability to balance a book on her head without dropping it- a true graceful princess!
Fun Fact: I cosplayed her at Katsucon 2026 and actually had one person recgonize me! I was so happy.

𝄞 AngelPrincess-Zukin
1st Appearance: EXTREME 2 (2005)

𝄞 Maid-Zukin
1st Appearance: 4th MIX (2000)
Maid Zukin is a helpful baddie who's great at housework, as her name suggests. I'm gonna channel her energy the next time I gotta clean my bathroom.

𝄞 Devil-Zukin
1st Appearance: 3rd MIX (1999)
Devil-Zukin is a bit of a trickster with unknown powers. She likes people watching, and her hood is stuck on her head.

𝄞 Angel-Zukin
1st Appearance: DDR for PC (2002)
Angel-Zukin is a character about which next to nothing is known, cause she only appears in the one DDR PC game. What's her story, I wonder?
Fun Fact: This was genuinely one of the best shots I could get of her... And her face is moving out of frame.

𝄞 Baby-Lon
1st Appearance: 5th MIX (2001)
And I quote from the DDR Wiki, "Baby-Lon is a baby, but when he puts on the magic earmuffs he got from his adventurer father, he becomes a Super Baby with killer dance moves. When he takes them off, though, he’s just a regular baby." What a guy!
Fun Fact: Baby-Lon is 1/4 Italian, just like me! He is also 1 year old as of SuperNOVA, just like me.
